Under Su Yaping's sweet words and coaxing, Zhong Qiufeng finally smiled.
Taking my parents' ID cards, I went to the bank first and withdrew the money from the deposit slip.
Fortunately, when she accompanied her mother to the bank to withdraw money before, Zhong Qiufeng had been careful and secretly memorized the password; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get the money out.
As soon as Zhong Qiufeng withdrew the money, Su Yaping opened an account in her name and deposited the money into it.
However, Su Yaping said that Zhong Qiufeng should still keep the deposit certificate to show his sincerity towards her.
Hearing her husband's words, Zhong Qiufeng beamed with joy, and her last trace of doubt vanished completely.
When they happily returned home, they found that their parents hadn't come back yet. Without thinking much about it, they simply cleaned up the vegetables that the old man had left on the ground, cooked dinner, and then the whole family went straight to their room to sleep after eating.
Zhong Qiufeng never even considered that her mother had told her her older brother was in the hospital, and that she should at least go to the hospital to visit Zhong Zihua.
Even if I don't visit Zhong Zihua, I should at least bring my parents some food in the hospital.
Hong Chunjiao was constantly arguing with her son until she was exhausted and could only rest by the bedside.
Zhong Mingxue was already struggling to stop his wife from making such a fuss, given his advanced age.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his wife had stopped making a fuss.
Zhong Zihua clutched his head, his head throbbing with pain. He wanted to call someone to send a message to Xiuhua and the others, but his mother was still watching from the side!
He was afraid that if his mother found out the truth about Xiuhua's family, she would go to the Fu family to cause trouble, so he could only lie on the hospital bed with his back to his parents, secretly anxious.
Meanwhile, Xiuhua, who had been waiting at home for Zhong Zihua to return, wanted to tell him that her older brother and sister-in-law had given them a house. Her initial excitement turned into anxiety.
"Big brother, will Zihua be alright?"
After dinner, Xiuhua noticed that Zhong Zihua hadn't returned yet, so she couldn't help but go to find Fu Hongxing.
Fu Hongxing didn't think much of it. After a moment of contemplation, he said to Xiuhua, "Zihua is, after all, the Zhong family's son. It's understandable that parents miss their son who hasn't been home for a long time."
She might invite him to dinner, or she might ask him to stay with her—it's hard to say.
When he visited the Zhong family before, it was quite obvious that Zhong Zihua's mother still cared about her son, but she just didn't like Xiuhua as her daughter-in-law!
If Zhong Zihua, as the middleman, cannot appease his mother, then Xiuhua will definitely suffer mistreatment at the Zhong family's home.
Therefore, before receiving definite news, it's best for Xiuhua not to go to the Zhong family's house.
Hearing her elder brother's explanation, Xiuhua understood the reasoning and meaning perfectly.
She lowered her head, her heart filled with sadness.
However, Zhong Zihua did not return that day, nor did he return the following evening. By noon on the third day, Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing both frowned and became concerned.
Did Zhong Zihua's parents put him under house arrest?
Otherwise, there's no way Zhong Zihua would have stayed away without a word.
Just as Fu Hongxing and the others finished lunch and were discussing going to the Zhong family to inquire about Zhong Zihua, they saw Zhong Zihua sneaking in from outside the door.
"Zihua...!? Where did you go?"
When Xiuhua saw Zhong Zihua's unshaven face, she was both angry and anxious. She rushed over, grabbed Zhong Zihua's arm, and asked him with a worried expression.
