The woman was eating a pancake and almost choked. She looked at Zhou Jinghong.
"What are you trying to do by making such a big commotion?"
The woman looked at him with dissatisfaction, thinking that she had made him a scapegoat for her two sons.
She never expected him to be so difficult to deal with; if she had known, she shouldn't have agreed to the adoption in the first place.
"If you hand over the things now, I might not report it to the police for Grandma's sake."
Zhou Jinghong has confirmed that the two of them took the items.
"What are you talking about? What nonsense are you spouting?"
The two of them were clearly trying to pretend they didn't know anything; all the money and stuff belonged to her family.
Why should this brat get a chance? Zhou Jinghong isn't giving either of them a chance.
He went straight into the house and started smashing things, smashing everything in sight.
The woman felt everything go black before her eyes, and she was furious. She had no idea where this brat got his strength.
The woman screamed as she saw that he had smashed a hole in the wardrobe.
"Stop! Stop right now!"
The man was also angry; he saw Zhou Jinghong as an ungrateful wretch.
He didn't want to raise a heartless person, someone he would rely on to support his two sons in the future.
"Jinghong, what are you doing? Why are you smashing up the house?"
The commotion was quite loud, and the neighbors, who love to watch the excitement, gathered around.
"Hey, what are you doing at your house?"
"You know what's wrong with this child? He suddenly went crazy, and we can't reason with him at all."
Everyone looked at Zhou Jinghong, thinking, "This child isn't usually like this, what's wrong with him all of a sudden?"
Zhou Jinghong had already found all the money and belongings inside the house.
Seeing that he had found the items and money, the woman could no longer pretend and immediately went over to him.
"Jinghong, this is the last of our family's money. You can't take it. Didn't I already give you all of your grandmother's medical expenses?"
"Jinghong, where are you going with this money and these things?"
Looking at the women, Zhou Jinghong thought that since these two were shameless, he would expose what they had done today.
“This money and these items were sent to me by my friend. Taking them without asking is theft.”
After hearing his words, everyone was less opposed, since sending it to him meant it was his own property.
It's normal for him to want it, but the woman doesn't want to be taken away like that.
If he takes the money, what will his sons use? There's still money.
“Jinghong, all these things were saved by your father and me for you three brothers. We wanted to save the money for your schooling.”
"Now you want to take it all by yourself, I have no problem with that, but you shouldn't lie and say it's yours."
Seeing that she wouldn't admit it, Zhou Jinghong had plenty of ways to deal with it, and said.
"Then go to the county town and ask. The money and the things were sent with an address, and my friend wrote me a letter back then."
Everyone understood. They could say the money and things were theirs, but it was obvious who the letter was addressed to.
Immediately, someone invited the village chief over. Upon seeing the village chief arrive, the woman and the man exchanged a glance.
They had a premonition that something was about to happen, but before they could think about it seriously, they saw the village chief speak with a stern face.
"Zhou family, what's wrong with you two? What's with all the fighting every day?"
The village chief was very troubled by the two men, who immediately spoke up for him.
"Village chief, it's not that we want to cause trouble for you, it's just that this child is keeping us at ease."
The woman then embellished the story of Zhou Jinghong smashing things when he came back early that morning and told it to the village chief.
"Jinghong said that these money and things were sent to him by his friends. Why did you take his things and money?"
Someone spoke up for Zhou Jinghong, and the woman glared at the aunt who had spoken.
"What do you mean by 'his things'? Does he not need to eat or drink while he's being raised in our house?"
"That's true, but the things were meant for him. You took them and didn't even tell him. How could he not be angry?"
Having lived most of his life, the village chief immediately understood what was going on.
It's simply that these two people coveted the money and the items, which is why they stole them.
"Jinghong, now that you've found the money and the items, why don't you just let this matter drop?"
The village chief thought that he would have to be raised by the Zhou family in the future, and it wouldn't be good if things got too tense.
“Village chief, I’ll be living with my grandma from now on. If they bother me again, I’ll definitely go to the police station.”
"good."
When Zhou Changjun returned home, he found the house noisy and wanted to see what had happened.
Upon seeing his elder brother return, the man immediately went to greet him.
"Big brother, you're finally back. Let me tell you, Zhou Jinghong doesn't treat us like family at all. Now that you're back, take this child with you today."
Zhou Changjun didn't feel the slightest bit reluctant when he gave Zhou Jinghong to his second brother for adoption.
Besides, he has already married someone new, so it wouldn't be good to bring such a burden home.
Before he could speak, the woman beside him spoke up.
"What you're saying is irresponsible. Since the child has been adopted by your family, he belongs to your family. You can do whatever you want with Changjun."
"Big brother, who is she?"
"She is your sister-in-law."
The man understood; his older brother had married another woman.
"Jinghong, hurry up and come call for help."
Zhou Changjun thought to himself, no matter what, Zhou Jinghong was still his son.
Zhou Jinghong didn't even glance at him. He remembered that Zhou Changjun was happy when he was sent away.
"Brother, are you back to visit relatives?"
"Yes, I came back to see you all and to introduce Baoyan to you."
Upon hearing her words, the man and woman exchanged a glance, both knowing his older brother's personality.
