Upon hearing this, Zhou Dazhu frowned even more tightly, his tone filled with resistance: "Benefits? What benefits? You know our family's current situation! Besides, Zhou Si has four children. When she comes to visit, she must bring some gifts. What can we offer?"
He paused, then added in a heavy tone, "Besides, have you forgotten? We were the ones who sold Zhou Si out. How could the Chen family not hold a grudge against us for this?"
