Today, she was going to make it clear to Zhou Hongzhi that his desire to have everything he wanted was simply a pipe dream. His attempt to trick her into becoming their free nanny and laborer was even more ridiculous. She refused to believe she couldn't survive without their family. At worst, she could just listen to her mother and return to Yanjia Village. As long as her parents didn't dislike her, she could make a living anywhere. At most, she'd hear some gossip, but that was better than enduring this humiliation here.
She mustered up her courage in her heart and waited for Zhou Hongzhi to come in and have a good talk with him, but no one came in no matter how long she waited.
Little did they know that the three members of the Zhou family were gathered in the kitchen at that moment, eating pancakes and drinking egg drop noodle soup. After Xu fried two pancakes for Chunxiao, she thought that her son really hadn't had a good meal in a while, so she decisively took out two eggs and made a small pot of noodle soup.
"Do you want to give Chunxiao another bowl of noodle soup?" Zhou Xingcai drank the fragrant noodle soup and poked his head towards his son's room.
"She ate a bowl of porridge and two pancakes. How could she have room for this noodle soup? You eat your own food. Instead of wasting time on that, why not think about how to arrange the Xu family's wedding?" Thinking of Chunxiao, Xu began to feel bad for the two pancakes. Then, thinking about the pancakes, she thought about how much money it would cost to get married. With their limited family resources, they might even have to borrow money to cover the cost. After all, the Xu family was well-known and prestigious.
"You two elders don't need to worry about the Xu family's wedding. Master Xu said that it will be held in town. You just need to show up."
"You mean Miss Xu won't come to our house? How can that be possible?" Mrs. Xu was unhappy when she heard this. "How can you marry a daughter-in-law without even entering the house? Are you marrying a wife or becoming a live-in son-in-law?"
"Hongzhi, your mother is right. Does Mr. Xu really want you to be his son-in-law? I don't agree. He didn't mention it at first. If he had mentioned it, I wouldn't agree no matter how rich he was." Zhou Xingcai felt nervous.
"Dad, what are you thinking? Mr. Xu already has a son, so why would he want a live-in son-in-law? It's just that we did live in town after we got married. Miss Xu has never lived in the countryside. How can you let her live here? Chunxiao is still here, and I'm worried about the two of them being together. Besides, I'm going to the county school, and it's convenient to go back and forth in town. We will find time to come back to see you."
Zhou Xingcai felt relieved when he heard this. It was good that he was not a live-in son-in-law.
