Her family members are all very fierce, especially her mother, whose eyes are incredibly sharp. The last time she saw her, her mother twisted her several times, and she's still in excruciating pain from it.
Aunt Li just couldn't understand it. After all, those were her son's relatives—his maternal uncles, cousins, and other relatives from his maternal grandparents' side. Aren't they close? How could her son treat his own family like this for a woman? Didn't he feel any guilt at all? Besides, she used to look down on Wang Yan, but now she had agreed to be with her. She didn't know what her son was still making a fuss about. Couldn't he just hurry up and get his uncle back to work?
“Wang Yan, you may not know our family’s situation. Although Zhou Jun has established himself here, think about it. Doing business is not like anything else. You always need a few people you can trust, right? You need people who are loyal and devoted to him to help him. No matter how well those people you hire perform, how do you know if they have any ulterior motives?”
"You're about to become Zhou Jun's wife, so you should think more about him in your actions. Your uncles and cousins are all very considerate. With them around, Zhou Jun can handle things with peace of mind, right?"
Hearing Aunt Li's brainwashing, Wang Yan was so angry she laughed. Did she really think she was a stupid old woman?
Her man isn't stupid; how could she not have considered these things?
The reason those people were kicked out is probably because they were just occupying positions without doing anything, and it didn't matter whether they were there or not.
According to Wang Yan's estimation, Zhou Jun did this because he didn't really need those people; he was just angry and looking for an excuse.
Only an idiot like Aunt Li would think that her relatives are so powerful.
Besides, if those people are really capable, even if the Zhou family kicks them out, wouldn't other families be scrambling to recruit them?
"I understand. I'll talk to Zhou Jun about it when he gets back later!"
Wang Yan wouldn't readily agree to anything, and Aunt Li wasn't satisfied with this explanation either. She frowned and still advised, "That's right. You should talk to Zhou Jun properly. Wang Yan, after your uncle and cousin have finished work later, I'll take you to visit your maternal grandparents' house to get acquainted with the place."
Wang Yan sneered inwardly, "The pie in the sky you're painting is far too perfunctory."
Did they think I was a three-year-old? Or a naive little girl who had never seen the world? Wang Yan wanted to laugh.
Thinking about it, Zhou Jun is really pitiful, having such a clueless mother. I don't know how he lived in the past. But from now on, everything will be alright. With me here, she will take good care of the house for him!
Aunt Li was still not satisfied when she left; she wanted a definite result.
As soon as I stepped out of the gate, someone grabbed me.
“Liu…”
Seeing the person who came, Aunt Li, made her scalp tingle. This was the most capable old woman by her mother's side.
She didn't dare struggle, but was still pulled over.
The little blue carriage sped by, only stopping when it reached the backyard of the Li family.
Aunt Li was roughly pulled inside, and when she saw her mother, who stood high and mighty, Aunt Li felt a chill run down her spine.
"Mother, you could have just told me you wanted me to come over, there was no need for this..."
"Heh..." Old Madam Li snorted coldly, glancing sideways at her daughter: "You are now the wife of the Zhou family, with a high and mighty status. How could an old woman like me possibly see you?"
"Let alone calling you, even if we went to ask someone to come over properly, we might not be able to get you to come!"
Aunt Li hurriedly protested, "Mother, you know I've been too busy lately. I don't know what Zhou Jun is thinking. I bet his brain is filled with mush. He's so infatuated with a woman that he doesn't even care about family ties. I was just thinking of discussing with him how to get my brother and the others back to their jobs as soon as possible."
Aunt Li smiled ingratiatingly, while Old Madam Li snorted coldly: "Don't give me that nonsense, just tell me when your older brother can go back to work?"
Hearing this, Aunt Li gave a bitter smile: "Mother, I also want to get my older brother and the others back to work right away, but Zhou Jun..."
"Li Yaohua, don't tell me you don't even have this much ability! Zhou Jun is your son, doesn't he listen to what you say?"
Aunt Li shrank back. At first, she thought that since she was Zhou Jun's mother, Zhou Jun would give her face no matter what. But reality gave her a slap in the face.
Her son can be truly ruthless, even to the point of disowning his own family.
"I……"
"After being married into the Zhou family for so many years, you don't even have this much ability. How could I have given birth to such a useless daughter like you!"
The old lady of the Li family was so angry that her hands trembled. She banged her cane on the ground repeatedly. Although it didn't hit Aunt Li, she felt pain all over her body.
Especially the face.
The more proud she was in her parents' home in the past, the more painful this slap feels now.
Over the years, she has devoted herself to her family and has taken many benefits from them, so her family has always held her in high esteem.
At that time, she forgot who she was and how much she was worth. Don't forget that everything she had was actually earned by her husband's family, and more importantly, by her son.
With her son's support, she was the high and mighty Mrs. Zhou; without her son's support, she would have to live a life of humility and subservience at home.
"Li Yaohua, just tell me the truth, when can your brother and several nephews go back to work!"
The old lady of the Li family has not dared to go out these past few days.
The main problem was the way people looked at her every time she went out, which made her so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole.
Previously, her family members all worked in the Zhou family's shop and were in charge of it.
There are usually quite a few people who come to curry favor with them.
The main reason is that the Zhou family has many shops and a large workforce, so it's not a problem to assign a few people to them.
Because of these tricks, they still made a lot of money.
But now, everyone connected to them has come down, and every time she goes out, quite a few people come to settle scores with her.
Lately, she's been going out looking rather dejected, and sometimes she doesn't even want to go out at all, just because she doesn't want to see the strange looks she gets from people.
"I..." Aunt Li hesitated. Her son was the kind of person who wouldn't listen to reason. No matter what she said, her son wouldn't budge.
She just went to see her daughter-in-law, Wang Yan, who is not easy to talk to. She tried to be nice to her, but Wang Yan wouldn't listen to anything.
"You mean you can't do anything?"
The old lady of the Li family's eyes turned cold. She raised her hand and said angrily, "Bring out the family discipline!"
Aunt Li was so frightened that she knelt down with a thud. Although she had been married for many years, the family rules were still fresh in her memory.
The Li family's rules are different from those of other families.
Here, men are punished with a ruler; a lighter punishment is hitting their hands, while a heavier punishment is hitting their backs.
But for women, silver needles were used; countless silver needles were pierced into their bodies, and the sensation was...
"ah……"
