Zhou Zhengye explained the reasons for the divorce to his parents and received their understanding and support, which relieved a lot of his burden.
As for his promise to his parents that he would find a daughter-in-law they would be satisfied with, it wasn't just empty talk. It's just that he's not in the mood for that right now. He has more important things to do, and he has to put finding a wife on hold for now.
Besides, it's not good for him to remarry right after his divorce; he shouldn't leave room for gossip.
Zhou Xingshan and his son had a few drinks together during dinner.
Zhou Xingshan was very happy that the meal was plentiful and that his eldest son had returned, so he drank a couple more cups of wine.
He put down his wine glass and said, "Your Uncle Han and the others are doing well in the countryside, aren't they?"
Zhou Zhengye smiled and said, "Very good. Uncle Han usually goes fishing with Uncle Liu Zhongyi and Uncle He, or plays chess at home and takes care of his grandson. He is very leisurely every day."
Yi Xian and Yu Han are both skilled hunters, and Gu Qi Shen is with them too. Every day, Yi Xian and Qi Shen go up the mountain and down to the river to find ways to cook. Yu Han is also an excellent cook, so the Han family's meals are fantastic, even better than what we have in the capital.”
Zhou Xingshan nodded and said, "Your Uncle Han saw things clearly and got away early, not getting involved at all. Now no one dares to bother him."
Zhou Zhengye said, "Uncle Han's decision to give way to others and retreat gracefully is a wise choice. In addition, given the Han family's influence and hidden strength, most people wouldn't dare to touch the Han family."
Zhou Xingshan asked, "Your Uncle Han must have several grandchildren by now, right?"
Zhou Zhengye nodded and said, "Three grandsons and one granddaughter, the youngest two are twins, a boy and a girl. The children are very cute, they look like their parents, and they are very beautiful."
Zhou's mother sighed, "Yixian had such good judgment. He persisted and finally married He Yuhan. Now they have four children, and their parents are all by their side. It's so wonderful that the whole family is happily together."
He Yuhan's biological parents are actually doing quite well with them.
Zhou's mother greatly envied Han Xiao and his wife, who already had grandchildren, with their eldest grandson being several years old. She, on the other hand, didn't know when she would have a grandson. She dared not urge her eldest son any further.
Her other children are all married, but they all have daughters, and she still hasn't had a grandson. She's hoping her eldest son will find a suitable girl to marry soon and give her a big, healthy grandson. That would make her completely content.
Zhou Zhengye said, "Yuhan's parents also went to the countryside to avoid trouble. They were living in constant fear in City C, so they simply went to the countryside to find Yuhan and the others. They had built a house in Beili Village before, so living in the countryside was perfect."
Zhou Zhengye also asked his parents about his younger siblings and was relieved to know that everything was fine at home. His forbearance over the past few years had been worthwhile, at least he hadn't let his family suffer those hardships.
As long as your family continues to maintain its current low-key approach, there shouldn't be any major problems.
After resting at home for two days, spending time with his parents and family, Zhou Zhengye began visiting several people according to the plan he had discussed with Han Yixian.
He didn't need to deal with the rest; Han Yixian had already arranged everything.
The Wang family knew that Zhou Zhengye had returned to Kyoto, but not only did Zhou Zhengye not come to visit them, he also ignored his own wife. It was really too much for the couple not to even see each other.
First, Wang's mother brought Wang Guixiang home and asked, "What's going on between you and Zheng Ye? It was understandable that you lived separately before Zheng Ye wasn't in the capital, but now that he's back in the capital, don't you live together anymore? Are you still husband and wife?"
Tell me honestly, is this your problem, or is Zhou Zhengye simply ignoring you?
Wang Guixiang dared not tell her parents the truth, so she could only say, "I don't want to see his deadpan face. He's always tense, and it's annoying to look at. I don't want to see him."
The mother frowned and said, "Didn't you used to like him a lot? Why are you annoyed by him now? You're married now, you can't be as willful as before. The Zhou family isn't an ordinary family, you can't go too far."
Wang's mother knew what kind of person her daughter was, so she tried her best to persuade her daughter to live a good life with Zhou Zhengye.
Wang Guixiang had already divorced Zhou Zhengye and didn't want to talk about him anymore. After brushing off her mother, she left her parents' home.
Zhou Zhengye knew the factory was busy and he didn't have time to stay in Kyoto any longer. Zhou Xingshan also knew his eldest son was busy with work, so he told Zhou Zhengye to return to Qianyuan County as soon as possible.
The night before Zhou Zhengye left, Zhou Xingshan called him to his study. "Zhengye, do your job well over there. No matter where you are, gold will always shine. As you said, being in Kyoto right now isn't necessarily a good thing. It's not too late for you to come back when the situation stabilizes."
If you have any problems, talk to your Uncle Han and Yi Xian. With their help, you can overcome any obstacle.
Don't worry about what happens in Kyoto. I'll keep your younger brother and sister in check. We don't ask for anything else; as long as the whole family is safe, that's victory.
Zhou Zhengye said, "Dad, don't worry. Even if I'm not in Kyoto, I can still make something of myself. Yixian also said that they will come back sooner or later, it's just not the right time yet. You and Mom take good care of yourselves. If you can't hold on, come find me. Our family's safety is the most important thing."
Zhou Xingshan nodded and said, "Dad knows what to do, so you can leave with peace of mind tomorrow. Don't forget to take good care of your Uncle Han and the others. Your mother bought a lot of local specialties from Kyoto these past few days, so take them back to your Uncle Han and the others."
Zhou Zhengye boarded the train back to Qianyuan County, carrying his parents' wishes.
Wang Guixiang has been back for a month, but Chu Feiyang still hasn't returned. She went to Chu Feiyang's workplace to ask, but they said he was away on a business trip and hadn't come back yet. Wang Guixiang couldn't find out where Chu Feiyang was on his business trip, so she could only wait patiently.
Meanwhile, the Wang family was beset by one problem after another, each more serious than the last. The Wang family was focused on resolving these issues and had no time to care about Wang Guixiang anymore.
Meanwhile, those who were hostile to the Wang family also began to attack them together, and their attacks always hit vital points.
In just a few days, several members of the Wang family were taken into custody.
Wang Guixiang, however, did not return home, still immersed in her fantasies of a happy future with Chu Feiyang, unaware that her support was about to crumble.
When Zhou Zhengye returned to Qianyuan County, he learned that the Wang family had begun to decline.
The Wang family is still unaware that he and Wang Guixiang have divorced, and they even went to the Zhou family for help. However, Zhou Xingshan only said that he was powerless and refused to get involved in the Wang family's affairs.
As soon as Zhou Zhengye arrived in Qianyuan County, he received a distress call from the Wang family. Zhou Zhengye could only say that he would help check the situation and that there was nothing else he could do to help.
Only then did the Wang family realize that they had almost no friends, only enemies who would kick them when they were down.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. The Wang family fell swiftly, and most of its members met with bad ends, which they deserved.
