When they sat down at the dinner table, Zhou's father knew that Han's second son had arrived, so he brought several bottles of good wine.
"Uncle Zhou, Zhenting, I came here to visit you, and also to apologize for what has happened recently."
"Why are you apologizing, kid? You didn't do anything wrong. We've watched you grow up. Old Han has a good son."
“You’ve made something of yourself, and I’m happy for Lao Han. Besides, your father and I have worked together for many years, so I’m not a petty person.”
"Uncle, I also heard that my younger brother Han Peng broke Xiao Han's toy car. He's been spoiled," Han Zhiqiang said.
“It’s all between the kids. If we’re going to take it to heart, we’re being petty. You’re mistaken,” said Mr. Zhou.
"Uncle Zhou is very generous, and I can't be unaware of that."
"Also, there's my mom's situation. I heard she was hospitalized and came back, and I'm very worried about her."
"But Uncle Zhou, you and Aunt Qi watched me grow up, and you know that my mother is also very strong-willed, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. Naturally, we hope that you will be more understanding."
“Zhiqiang, we understand what you mean. Don’t worry, it’s been like this for decades. Your mother is just too concerned about her image and too domineering. We’re used to it. We’ve been like this for years too,” Zhou’s mother added.
“If it were changed all at once, I really wouldn’t be used to it,” Zhou’s mother said with a smile.
"Uncle Lin also told me about this, otherwise I really wouldn't have known. This time when I came back, I was thinking of visiting Uncle Zhou's house."
"What does this have to do with the Lin family?"
"My Uncle Lin has a relationship with my sister-in-law's brother, and he's been very good to me. Naturally, he doesn't want to make things difficult for us."
“This is my sister-in-law’s family home, the Lin family,” Guo Jinyou said.
"Yes, they specifically told me about what has been happening in the yard recently."
"I understand, Zhiqiang. Don't worry, these are all minor matters. Let's eat. Let's not talk about these things today. Let's eat."
"Then I must try this fine wine. Wow, it must be over 20 years old. I'm really lucky to have it this time."
"Uncle Zhou, do you have any more of this? This is really good stuff."
"If others asked, they definitely wouldn't have it, but since you asked, nephew, of course we do. Take a few bottles back with you when you go back later."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhou. I'm really in for a treat today," Han Zhiqiang said with a smile.
After several rounds of drinks, Han Zhiqiang left satisfied with the wine, while the Zhou family members looked at each other in bewilderment at the dinner table.
"Jinyou, did you tell me that the Lin family knows about this?"
"No, I didn't say that. It's not a serious matter, so I naturally can't say anything."
"This Zhiqiang is a very clever kid. He's quick-witted and sharp. He understands what someone means just by giving him a hint. The Han family is really lucky."
"Daughter-in-law, from now on, you should give in to Han Minjia a little more," Zhou's father advised.
“I know, but it wasn’t that I wanted to compete with her in the first place. She would get angry and hostile whenever she saw that I was alright. I could put up with that.”
"Since that's what you've said, I definitely won't mess with her, but if she messes with me again, don't blame me for being impolite."
When the Zhou family heard this, they all nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.
