Chapter 232 Zhou Family Matters
"The old man has almost recovered. The environment here is suitable for his recuperation." Li Yansheng said.
Lin Shutang stopped and held Li Yansheng's hand, not letting go. He was always like this, always thoughtful and considerate.
Li Yansheng turned around: "What's wrong?"
Lin Shutang felt his eyes moisten, and then he said, "Thank you!"
At noon, the two ate outside.
When they arrived at the restaurant and went upstairs, Lin Shutang saw two familiar figures, but the person walked too fast and disappeared around the corner after just a quick glance.
Li Yansheng noticed her gaze and looked in the direction she was looking. Seeing nothing, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Shutang shook his head: "No, I must have seen it wrong."
Zhang Ran and Ji Dongquan were also there during the meal.
When Lin Shutang and Li Yansheng entered, the two were already sitting inside. The food hadn't arrived yet, but there were already a few cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of Zhang Ran, indicating that they had been waiting for quite a while.
Ji Dongquan smiled and said, "Finally you're here. If you hadn't come earlier, Ah Ran would have eaten it first without waiting."
Lin Shutang didn't know that there were other people here today. Now, after hearing that they had been waiting for a long time, he said apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't know you were here before."
If she had known, she would have stayed in the nursing home for less time.
Zhang Ran: “That’s not the case.”
He glanced at Ji Dongquan and said, "Don't ruin my image."
Then he looked at Lin Shutang and said, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense."
Lin Shutang could sense that they didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable, so he smiled and nodded.
As he spoke, Li Yansheng had already pulled out a seat for Lin Shutang.
After sitting down, Li Yansheng reached out to pour water, but then he saw Lin Shutang had already taken the pot and sat back down, watching her movements. He leaned back, saying nothing, but the tenderness in his eyes was undisguised.
After the two came in, Zhang Ran and Ji Dongquan kept their eyes on them. Seeing that Li Yansheng's gaze was almost drowning, Zhang Ran said, "Hey, hey, hey, we're still here! Be more restrained."
Li Yansheng laughed, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then turned his eyes away from Lin Shutang and looked at Zhang Ran and the others: "Is the matter with the Zhou family not over yet?"
These words refer to Zhou Xi's family.
Ji Dongquan: "Well, Uncle Zhou was furious and beat up Uncle Zhou Xi this morning. He hit him a little too hard and blood was drawn. It wasn't a good thing, but it was Uncle Zhou who did it after all. If no one from the Zhou family was there, it would inevitably lead to gossip if word got out. So it was up to the younger generation, Zhou Xi, to take him to the hospital."
Later, several people talked about this matter again.
Lin Shutang listened for a few minutes and roughly understood the whole story.
Zhou Xi's uncle had an affair and openly hired someone to work as a "nanny" in his home. This was discovered by Zhou Xi's aunt a few days ago. When Zhou Xi's father found out, he was furious and beat the person up.
The dishes had been served and tasted good, but after listening to what they said, Lin Shutang felt that the food was a bit bland.
During the time he was in Hong Kong, Lin Shutang had a general understanding of Li Yansheng's friends.
Zhou Xi's uncle was a typical live-in son-in-law, a poor boy from a small town who rose to prominence after being favored by a wealthy young lady.
The man was from Huicheng, a small town with an average family background. The Zhou family initially disagreed with the marriage, but because Zhou Xi's aunt liked him, they agreed.
Their wedding room and wedding ceremony were all prepared by the Zhou family, and there was no betrothal gift at all. Uncle Zhou Xi could be said to have gotten married without spending a penny, and he was with a rich girl.
Moreover, it is said that not long after marrying Aunt Zhou Xi, her husband brought his entire family to live in their marital home. At that time, he said that they would stay for a while, but they have been living there until now.
