Chapter 10: Eat people without leaving any bones
Zhou Junheng spoke in a serious tone, and every sentence he said was leading to a deeper point... Zhou Lai bullied his wife.
He used his absolute power in running the household to accuse her of being even more disrespectful and unfilial.
His attitude is very clear.
There is no room for bargaining.
All she knew about him before was what her grandfather had said: he was decisive and effective, having started out as a local official and then been transferred directly to the Finance Bureau.
Now it seemed as if I had truly gotten a glimpse of it.
The aura of the superior is decisive and unquestionable in his decisions on killing.
He wasn't kidding at all.
If Zhou Lai was still stubborn and holding back the resentment of a child just now, now his eyes are completely red.
She hated the woman next to Zhou Junheng even more!
It also confirmed her first impression that she was hypocritical.
Her eldest brother had always been gentle with younger generations like them, so how could he get so angry over an outsider? How could this happen if she hadn't been instigating it behind the scenes?!
How can she compare with her sister Yi Yan?
Ye-yeon is the best match for her big brother!
What else does she have besides her family background!
Such a person is not worthy of being her sister-in-law.
He glared at Shi Ye unwillingly, then turned around and was about to rush out.
Shi Ye suddenly called her again. This matter involved her, and it was also the first day she returned to her husband's home after her marriage to Zhou Junheng.
Because of her, the younger generations kneel in the ancestral hall.
This matter can be big or small, someone with a caring heart can make a fuss about it...
If it doesn't become clear, people outside won't know how to spread the word about her as the bride.
Zhou Junheng's punishment represented his attitude, and she was also moved when she felt that he was protecting her.
More confident!
She knew he was on her side.
But she also had to explain things clearly to Zhou Lai, who was about to kneel in the ancestral hall, to prevent this person from being insincere and full of resentment and disturbing the peace of his ancestors in the ancestral hall.
She looks young, but she is not stupid.
It just so happens that the whole family is here, so she can be the softie today.
From then on, all the cats and dogs would be against her... and they would all start to imitate her.
Zhou Junheng could protect her temporarily, but not all the time.
"Xiao Lai, I'm so sorry. Your brother was just doing it for our own good. He spoke a little hastily and didn't mean to scold you."
This sets the tone for the topic.
"I'm really sorry. I don't know how my words just now offended you. It was my inconsiderateness as an elder."
Be sincere and apologize directly, but still say that the other person is too petty.
Just a few words offended you. You get angry so easily... You can't blame her.
Also, in the future, if someone talks to you and you don’t like what they say, you will just complain.
"It's just that this is my first time working as a civil servant, so I don't really know the specific tasks."
"But... generally speaking, it's basically related to professional recruitment. But let's not talk about working within the system. Nowadays, no matter where you work, you can't just do the whole job. Having multiple roles is the key to competitiveness, right? Cost savings are needed everywhere."
"You won't know the details until you actually start working, right? You should ask your older brother at work about this. ...You're still young and haven't had much exposure to these kinds of work things, so you made this joke this time."
To directly characterize the incident, this collision was a joke caused by the ignorance of the young Zhou Lai.
At the end, Shi Ye did not stop and offered his own suggestions in a 'friendly' way.
"I just heard from mom that you just took the college entrance exam, right? It's true that you don't understand. It's our fault for being negligent."
"...It's time for you to get some practice. The company has a lot of new management trainees this summer. Why don't you let them take you under your wing? You can learn a lot, and whether you join a company or work within the government, you'll have more experience in the future."
These words sounded very reasonable and logical, and were patiently taught to the younger generation of the family with the care and concern of an elder.
Zhou Lai is always considered in everything...it is so flawless that there is nothing to find fault with it.
Having said this, Shi Ye stood up.
No one reacted. What was going on? Before she stood up from beside Ji Shixu, she whispered to her, "Mom, it's okay. I know my limits."
He also secretly gave Zhou Junheng a reassuring look.
When Shi Ye walked next to Zhou Lai, he suddenly bent down the next second.
He hugged the little girl and asked someone to pass her a tissue to wipe her tears.
Her voice was extremely gentle. "Your eldest brother was indeed too serious just now. I apologize to you on his behalf. Please don't be offended. When he gets angry, he might... well..."
Her paternalistic and caring expression was perfect when she said this.
Let everyone automatically complete the next sentence, and it worked as expected.
Shi Ye's next sentence came: "Your eldest brother is doing this for your own good. After all, we can't always protect you outside in the future."
"Sister-in-law, I'll definitely make him change his temper. Why does he get angry at everyone regardless of the occasion?"
The last two words are also pronounced particularly clearly and emphasized.
It's like pointing fingers at someone else...
"So today, we won't kneel in the ancestral hall. Listen to my sister-in-law and apologize to Big Brother, admit our mistakes... Then didn't your Big Brother say you don't know the rules? Let's learn the rules at home, work diligently from the bottom, and let Big Brother know your abilities. Give him a new look."
"Sister-in-law, do you agree with this arrangement, Lai Lai?"
"Okay? Let's stop crying."
While patting her back, he comforted her, "What a sensible little girl! Your eyes are almost swollen from crying. You are really hurt... Alas."
This big drama of the good cop and the bad cop left Zhou Lai with no other choice.
The situation has completely turned into:
Whether she apologizes today or not is because she is ignorant and lacks work experience. They are doing this for her own good.
Shi Ye was a good sister-in-law and pleaded with her elder brother on her behalf.
It was she who exempted her from the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall.
And use her as a living target to let everyone know:
In the future, anyone who wants to say anything about her should consider whether they have the ability to do so.
She has the power to rule the world.
Her mother was still behind her, asking her to apologize quickly.
Zhou Lai apologized to Zhou Junheng, "Brother, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"The person you should apologize to the most is not me, but your sister-in-law."
Even though Zhou Lai was reluctant, he had to bend down, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
The sound is as thin as a mosquito.
When Zhou Junheng was about to speak again, Shi Ye hurriedly spoke to stop him.
"It's okay, it's okay. The little girl knows she was wrong. Don't be mean to her anymore. She didn't mean it."
Everyone also laughed and joked.
Zhou Lai no longer wanted to stay at this welcome ceremony, a return banquet with the woman she hated as the main character.
Shi Ye's laughter was the biggest mockery of her embarrassment just now!
He broke free from his mother's hands, turned around and walked away.
She didn't have to kneel in the ancestral hall this time, but she had to learn the rules.
Zhou Junheng was very ruthless in telling people how to learn and what to do in the company.
"Second Aunt, it seems that Second Uncle has indeed neglected Zhou Lai's management after being in the branch office in another city for so many years."
"I won't ask you any more about how you usually dote on her, but she doesn't care about age now."
"She has to relearn the rules, and she won't receive any pocket money for the next three months. During the day, she'll be working as an intern at Zhou Nan's company in Xicheng District. There's no need to tell anyone about her position. She'll start from the bottom and go to the most challenging place to see how they conduct themselves."
"The etiquette teacher would wait for her at home in the evening. The three-hour lesson would end when Zhou Lai had memorized the etiquette."
Second Aunt didn't say a word.
How could she dare to beg for mercy? Zhou Junheng's style of doing things has always been to stick to his word.
She knew that nothing good would happen when her daughter went to cause trouble today. Her daughter must still be thinking about Li Yiyan.
She didn't hold on either.
This is why all this happened...they are the only ones who suffer.
She had seen everything in all these years since she got married, but Zhou Junheng's inherent cold-bloodedness was the worst.
This deep backyard is full of people eating people without leaving any bones. How could he sit in this position at such a young age without some ability?!
This is also the most unlikely place for my daughter to think about.
There is no way that Li Yiyan and Zhou Junheng can be together!
That name should have completely disappeared since that incident.
From now on, she must never let Zhou Lai mention it again.
