Chapter 340 Between Mother and Daughter 1 Mom asked you to go back and leave me and the child...
Zhou Ying came here to call for an explanation. After all, Xu Wei's role in this matter could not be hidden from Zhou Ying.
She didn't understand what good would it do Xu Wei to let her brother-in-law and sister-in-law get into trouble?
She was really furious, especially when she heard him call her "Mom." She immediately asked him, "Are you happy that your brother-in-law and sister-in-law can't go to college?"
Xu Wei didn't want to play games with her and said bluntly, "Virtue unmatched by position will ultimately lead to disaster. This is an eternal truth."
"Well, you are unworthy of your position. Have you forgotten the ugly things you did?" Zhou Ying was so angry that his head was buzzing.
She never imagined that the phrase "sacrifice one's own family for the sake of justice" would one day be realized on Xu Wei.
He has won countless honors, but what about others?
Xu Wei had anticipated this day. He said calmly, "I can't change what happened in the past, but I can work with Zhou Juan to become better people."
Isn't this just a mockery of her son and daughter-in-law's lack of talent? Zhou Ying couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Don't act so pretentiously in front of me. You're just trying to gain reputation and pretend to be a good person. Do you think that as long as you bring down your brother-in-law, Zhou Juan will be bound to you for life? Don't dream, my daughter, just one word from me and she'll leave you, an ungrateful person!"
"Zhou Juan is no longer the same Zhou Juan she used to be. She has her own judgment, so you don't need to use her to threaten me. The fact that you're still able to call me means you're not implicated in this matter. That's great. Just take good care of the children and enjoy your retirement. If you run out of money, tell me and I'll definitely help." Xu Wei glanced at his watch. "I have to go to class. Goodbye, Mom."
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
There was no need to attend the class because of the loud noise. Students from every classroom came out to watch.
What he needs to figure out most now is Zhou Juan’s choice.
To be honest, he had indeed made a big mistake and had thought about divorce, but that was all in the past. Zhou Juan was also wrong, and he was also responsible. No one is a clean slate without any stain.
But digging up the past would only be a waste of energy, so he just wanted to know what Zhou Juan would choose.
Should they choose their small family, or return to the provincial capital and their mother's family?
No matter what choice she makes, he will choose to respect it. When it comes to major issues, he feels there is no room for bargaining. If Zhou Juan really wants to collude with them, she will not be able to educate the child well, so it is better for them to get divorced.
If Zhou Juan could distinguish right from wrong, he would naturally cherish this rare match more, work together to raise the child well, and of course, when it was time to be filial to his mother-in-law, he would also shoulder his responsibilities.
Be objective and don't blame the person. If Zhou Juan can't do this, then all her experience over the years will be wasted.
Society, like a university, is the easiest place for people to grow. He still has confidence in Zhou Juan, but he is not sure which side Zhou Juan's balance will tilt towards between mother-daughter affection and husband-wife affection.
He rode his bike out of the Agricultural University and headed straight to Yicheng University.
When they got there, Zhou Juan was at the school gate with her classmates watching the newspaper reporter who had just left.
Their eyes met, and Zhou Juan quickly said something to her classmates, then walked quickly to Xu Wei's side: "Why are you here?"
"I have something to tell you." Xu Wei didn't plan to tell it outside. There were too many people outside. It would be better to stay in school - this palace of wisdom that brings together knowledge from various subjects and inherits civilization.
He was originally only supporting himself with his right foot and did not get out of the car. As he spoke, he pointed his toes and slid forward with the car.
Zhou Juan quickly caught up, jumped onto the back of the bicycle, put her arms around his waist from behind, and asked, "What's going on? Why are you so serious? Did my mom get the news?"
Xu Wei didn't say anything and rode all the way to Jingsi Lake on the east side of the campus. Then he stopped the bike, took Zhou Juan's hand, walked to the lake, and picked a stone to sit on.
This stone has been visited by many students, and its surface has been polished to a reflective finish.
The two leaned side by side, looking at the shimmering lake.
Zhou Juan didn't urge him and just waited for Xu Wei to speak himself.
After a long pause, Xu Wei finally said, "Mom knows everything. She said she'll let you go back and leave me and the child. Let me ask you, what is your choice?"
"I don't want to pay attention to you!" Zhou Juan was speechless. She chose to take the exam honestly. Was there any need to ask her choice?
Yes, she admitted that she would not stand up and report her brother and sister-in-law, but she would not vent her anger on Xu Wei just because her brother and sister-in-law were reported and Xu Wei helped.
They were the ones who cheated first.
Wasn't her choice obvious enough? Zhou Juan was so angry that she rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Xu Wei was confused: "Are you angry?"
"You're so stupid! I don't even want to talk to you. What if you infect me and make me stupid?" Zhou Juan nudged him with her shoulder in dissatisfaction.
Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and a smile gradually spread from the corner of his mouth.
If there weren't so many people around, I really wanted to hug her and kiss her right now! Helplessly, he could only use his shoulder to push her. Unfortunately, he was tall, so even if he sat down, he had to bend down slightly.
Two adults who are parents were so childish, pushing each other and laughing like idiots by the lake.
After school in the evening, Zhou Juan called her mother back. There was not much to say, just one sentence: I'm not going back, I'm going to school, and the child needs mom.
Zhou Ying brought up the past, talking about a lot of Xu Wei's dark history, but Zhou Juan just smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm not perfect either. You have to put the lid on the pot to fit the pot. Anyway, I passed the exam based on my own real ability, and that's enough."
Zhou Ying was speechless and had to make a harsh statement: from today on, Zhou Juan would no longer have a mother's home.
Zhou Juan directly retorted, "You're secretly happy that you're not implicated in this matter, but you're already angry. If you continue like this, the grandson you raise will end up in jail sooner or later. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see."
After saying that, Zhou Juan hung up the phone.
You have to ask her if she is really not worried at all, after all, she has had such a mess with her parents' family.
To be honest, there was some part of it, but neither she nor Xu Wei did anything wrong in this matter, and it wasn't Xu Wei who reported it. He just went along with it and helped a little.
So in this matter, even if Xu Wei doesn't help, someone else will intervene, and her brother and sister-in-law will still be in trouble.
Fortunately, her mother is smart and never does these things in person, so it is likely that everything will only be reported to her brother, sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law's family.
Zhou Juan hung up the phone, then decided to call Yao Zhizhi after thinking about it. She didn't know why, but whenever she encountered something in recent years, she always wanted to talk to Yao Zhizhi.
This is probably a kind of dependent psychology. Yao Zhizhi got involved in every crossroads in life. Except when Zhou Juan was really at fault, Yao Zhizhi always played the role of a mediator.
Simple criticism will make people feel resistant, but help and protection in desperate situations will be remembered for a lifetime. Even if such help and protection are accompanied by criticism and preaching, it is still different.
This is the power of a mediator.
Gradually, Zhou Juan absorbed a positive energy from Yao Zhizhi, the strength to learn to struggle forward even in adversity.
So, when Zhou Juan was threatened by her own mother, the first person she thought of was Yao Zhizhi.
As soon as the call was connected, she immediately began to complain. Yao Zhizhi listened patiently and comforted her, "Auntie Zhou was just speaking out of anger. It will be fine after a while. Elderly people always find it difficult to accept sudden changes. Besides, think positively. She knows that your mother-daughter relationship is precious, so she dares to threaten you with this. This is actually a manifestation of her gradual loss of power after retirement. And you, you have been admitted to university on your own merits and have gradually grown into a strong adult with many advantages. So she has no other way to shake your determination and can only use family threats. Her original intention is not to threaten you, but to let you threaten Xu Wei and punish Xu Wei."
"You mean, I'm very powerful now? More powerful than my mother?" Zhou Juan had never thought of looking at the problem from this perspective.
Yao Zhizhi smiled and said, "Of course! You're amazing now. You're one of the second group of people who were admitted to university after the resumption of the college entrance examination based on real talent and knowledge. If you had cheated, wouldn't you have been in trouble this time? But you didn't! Your mother is in the wrong, and she's angry that your brother and sister-in-law can't be as successful as you, so she can only be so helpless and furious. Just wait and see, she will have to worry about raising her grandson in the future, and there will definitely be a time when she can no longer bear it. Then she will definitely take the initiative to bow to you."
After all, Zhou Juan's brother and sister-in-law bribed people, so they will have to stay in jail for a while.
Unless the circumstances are not serious, the punishment may be community service for a period of time, and a record of the punishment will be left in the file.
Yao Zhizhi couldn't say for sure. She was not an investigator and didn't know the specific situation there.
In short, Zhou Ying's hard days are ahead, and this gradually declining mother will sooner or later bow to and compromise with her daughter.
Zhou Juan just needs to study peacefully and live her life well. There is no need to worry about gains and losses.
Thinking of this, Zhou Juan was indeed in a much better mood. She couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "You are so eloquent. After graduation, will you consider staying on as a teacher?"
"I still want to write novels or publish magazines, or maybe start my own publishing house. We'll see when the time comes. In fact, if I do well, I can also come to the university as a visiting lecturer. There's no rush." Yao Zhizhi is full of confidence in the future. As long as she works hard now, she can try all opportunities in the future.
While you are young.
Zhou Juan chatted with her about parenting for a while before hanging up the phone.
When I returned home and saw Xu Wei eating with the child in his arms, I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart. A smile spread from my cheeks, and flew with the wind towards the sunset in the sky and the colorful sky.

Chu Lingyi's pregnancy reaction this time was quite severe.
Especially today, when she heard that all those who cheated had gotten into trouble, she was so scared that her stomach started cramping. Not only did she vomit all her dinner, but she also vomited bile.
There's blood!
Dispatcher Luo was so scared that he rushed her to the hospital. Fortunately, the problem was not serious. He gave her an IV bottle of magnesium sulfate and prescribed some pregnancy-preserving pills, and then discharged her to go home.
The two have already obtained a marriage certificate and live in Luo Dispatch's staff dormitory. Chu's mother quit her job and comes to do Chu Lingyi's laundry and cooking during the day, and goes back to the alley at night to live alone.
She couldn't stand the loneliness in the yard, so she went to the woolen mill dormitory behind to invite her son and daughter-in-law several times, but they were unwilling to come back.
Helpless, she had to ask her husband to come back to accompany her, but Chu's father refused.
Chu's mother was heartbroken. When she returned from the woolen mill dormitory, it started to rain. The water quickly gathered and flowed into the gutters on every street.
In order to return to the alley, Chu's mother had to cross the water flow on both sides of the road. She accidentally slipped and fell, face down, into the water flow.
It was a rainy day and there were few pedestrians on the road. In the end, it was Tang Fengyuan who discovered this confused old man.
Tang Fengyuan has been so worried about the kidnapping case of the three girls that he has been unable to eat. He just went to the Municipal Bureau and attended a case meeting. When he comes back, he plans to organize police officers to survey the nearby residents again, focusing on expanding the network of relationships with those petty thieves. After all, most criminals have similar interests.
Several key areas for inspection include the crowded courtyards in the south of the city, the tube-shaped building cluster near Xiao Wei's home, and the relatively chaotic alleys.
She was riding her bike in the heavy rain and saw something lying on the road from a distance. It looked like a big rock or a package.
She couldn't see clearly due to the rain, and when she got closer, she realized it was Chu's mother. She quickly helped her up, and when she touched her, she found that Chu's mother had died.
However, Chu's mother's body still had some warmth left. Because of the rain, the speed at which the body would lose heat would increase significantly. Perhaps she had just died not long ago, so she might still be saved.
In short, Tang Fengyuan still had to send the person to the hospital as soon as possible.
But it was raining so hard that she couldn't do it on her own, so she planned to go find some local people to help her.
Just as I was about to get up, I saw a black car driving over.
The person in the back seat was obviously stunned when he saw Tang Fengyuan, and quickly asked the driver to stop.
Tang Fengyuan looked over curiously and felt that the man looked familiar. When the car window rolled down, she finally saw him clearly. She was stunned for a moment, and embarrassment spread silently.
This man was a blind date introduced to her by a friend after Qi Guozhong's death. She rejected him and said that she would never remarry.
But now she...
The man obviously knew her recent situation and said with a smile: "I heard that you became the director. Congratulations."
"Thank you." Tang Fengyuan didn't want to have too much involvement with this person, so he smiled and prepared to look for someone nearby.
The man asked, "What happened to the lesbian on the ground?"
"He's dead," Tang Fengyuan said matter-of-factly. "Go on with your business."
To avoid having a dead person in the car, which would be unlucky, the big leaders should all take this into consideration.
The man laughed and said, "In your eyes, am I so conscious?" He opened the car door and asked the driver to get out together, and together they helped Chu's mother into the car.
In the end, the man sat in the passenger seat, and Tang Fengyuan helped Chu's mother sit in the back seat, and they drove to the hospital.
Tang Fengyuan felt very sorry: "Your car is dirty."
"It's okay. It's my duty to serve the people." The man got out of the car first and considerately opened the door for Tang Fengyuan. He also used his hand to block the car frame to prevent Tang Fengyuan from hitting his head when getting out.
After Tang Fengyuan sent the man to the emergency room, the man still did not leave.
Tang Fengyuan signed and turned around to notify her family, but saw the man looking at her with a smile.
She was a little embarrassed and asked, "Aren't you busy today?"
"I'll stay and wait for the family members to come, so that you won't be able to explain yourself." The man was very considerate and even thought about the possibility that the family members might frame Tang Fengyuan.
It can be seen that he is a thoughtful person.
This cannot be seen from his appearance - thick and wild eyebrows, big round eyes, a well-defined square face, and a mouth that still has a serious look even when he is trying hard to smile.
Soon, Chu Lingyi and others rushed over.
Sure enough, they couldn't believe that Chu's mother would fall herself to death, and they questioned Tang Fengyuan what was going on.
Chu Lingze was fine, he accepted Tang Fengyuan's statement after listening to it, but Chu Lingyi reacted strongly.
The only mother in the world who protected her and tolerated everything about her fell to her death? She couldn't accept it.
Director Tang must have been hiding something! Perhaps Director Tang had been arguing with her mother and, in a moment of carelessness, had pushed her mother to her death.
Yes, that must be the case!
She cried and made a fuss, demanding an explanation from Tang Fengyuan.
Poor Tang Fengyuan was so kind as to help someone, but he was almost wrongly accused of being a murderer. At this time, the man said to the driver, "Go to Director Sun and tell him that someone has falsely accused Director Tang. Comrade Ji Pengju and the driver Xiao Yang are willing to testify for Director Tang. Tell him to bring people here quickly."
