Liang Guiying quickly stood up: "Zhou Yue, you're back! I'll cook you some noodles!"
"No need, I've already eaten before I came back," Zhou Yue replied, then turned to the people behind her and said, "Captain Gu, it's settled then. We'll meet at the main training ground at ten o'clock yesterday morning."
Gu Yunzheng glanced at the group of people who had stood up in the Zhou family courtyard, and nodded: "Okay, see you tomorrow. Also, if you need anything, just come to me."
"good."
After Gu Yunzheng left, Zhou Yue entered the courtyard and nodded lightly to the embarrassed Zhou family members: "You all continue, I'm going to take a shower."
When Zhou Yue came out of the shower, Liang Guiying had already cooked a bowl of noodles, topped with a large spoonful of her homemade tomato meat sauce.
The noodles were chewy, and the meat sauce was sour with a hint of spiciness. Zhou Yue ate to her heart's content.
During the two weeks she was away from home, all she missed was her daughter Zhou Xiaonian and Liang Guiying's cooking. Now that she could finally eat it, she drank all the soup.
After putting down her bowl, Zhou Yue noticed that the entire Zhou family was looking at her, and she smiled slightly.
While Old Mrs. Zhou was still figuring out how to start a conversation with her, Zhou Yue had already sat down.
Zhou Yue said, "Grandma Niannian runs two ice cream parlors. Besides Hong Kong-style milk tea, she also makes other iced drinks. If Grandma Niannian opens an ice cream parlor in Suzhou someday, you can try them all."
They seemed surprised that Zhou Yue would take the initiative to sit down and talk to them, and that her attitude was so kind; they were momentarily stunned.
It was her uncle, Zhou Hu'an, who was the first to react.
Zhou Hu'an said, "Zhou Yue, the Zhou family has wronged you all these years."
"It is true that the Zhou family has wronged me, but I have already overcome it and no longer care."
Zhou Yue remained calm.
“You are all my father’s family. He cares about you, so I won’t speak ill of you. I’m happy to see you. I just don’t want you to talk about the past anymore.”
I don't want to dwell on the past; I just want to live in the present. And the reason I told you about Grandma Niannian is to let you know that she raised Niannian and me very well. We have no worries about food or clothing. So, whether you come to take care of Niannian and me, or just to feel better, that's fine. Just don't give me money or any supplies. What I lack has never been money.
Grandma Zhou burst into tears on the spot.
Zhou Yue's indifference hurt her deeply.
I spoke with Grandpa Zhou on the phone that evening. He sighed and said, "Let's do as the child wishes. We've already wronged her enough; we can't upset her any further..."
At the end of the conversation, Mr. Zhou said, "I see that Yueyue's pride and composure are exactly the same as yours when you were young."
“But Comrade Liang Guiying…” the old lady said, “she didn’t even want her son and grandson, she just stayed with our Zhou Yue and Niannian, what do you think she’s after?”
"No matter what she's after, as long as she genuinely cares for Yueyue and Niannian, that's enough."
Liang Guiying didn't care what the Zhou family thought at all, because Zhou Yue had acknowledged her contributions in front of the Zhou family and treated her as one of their own.
This made her even happier than if she had earned 10,000 yuan.
