At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhou Fugui lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Recently, for some reason, Zhou Fugui always felt uneasy. When Zhou Meimei mentioned the incident today, Zhou Fugui felt even more uneasy.
Meimei is a person who doesn't control her words. If we let her continue talking nonsense, maybe one day their whole family will be killed.
The person who tied the bell must untie it. While Meimei is at home, I have to let my sister-in-law speak in person to stop Meimei from thinking about it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Fugui sat up with a whoosh and began to put on his clothes.
"Old man, aren't you tired of not sleeping in the middle of the night?" Ding Ermei complained.
Ding Ermei slept a lot during the day, and her sleep quality at night was not very good.
I had just fallen into a half-drowsy sleep when I was woken up by the noise of Zhou Fugui getting up.
"I'm going to the captain's house." Zhou Fugui said in a deep voice.
"It's so late, the captain and the others should be asleep, right? Can't you look for them tomorrow?" Ding Ermei yawned and said.
"It's urgent and can't wait." Zhou Fugui put on his clothes, got up, put on his shoes and left.
The more Zhou Fugui thought about many things, the more unsure he became. He needed to find someone to make decisions for him.
It's still a bit chilly in the autumn nights.
Zhou Fugui put on a coat, and the wind blew on his exposed skin, giving him goose bumps.
At this time, most people in the village have fallen asleep.
I don't know whose dog it is, but it starts barking as soon as it hears any noise.
Zhou Fugui said nothing, and walked to Zhou Dazhu's house in the dim moonlight, taking one step forward and one step back.
Zhou Dazhu opened the door himself.
"Uncle Fugui, it's so late and you're not sleeping at home. Do you have something to talk to me about?" Zhou Dazhu was stunned when he saw Zhou Fugui.
"Dazhu! I have something to talk to your mother about." Zhou Fugui said with a wry smile.
"My mother is asleep, come again tomorrow!" Zhou Dazhui looked unhappy with a long face.
Zhou Dazhu's father Zhou Fugen passed away three years ago. Zhou Dazhu's mother Tian Shanhua is 65 years old this year. Although she is a bit old, she is still a neat old lady when she tidies up.
Zhou Fugui is sixty years old this year and is also an old man.
It's a bit inappropriate to go to Zhou Dazhui's mother's house in the middle of the night.
"Dazhu, I have something urgent. Go tell your mother. If she says she doesn't want to see me, I'll leave immediately." Zhou Fugui said stubbornly.
Zhou Dazhu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Uncle Fugui, it's too late today, why don't you..."
Zhou Dazhu was just about to ask Zhou Fugui to come early tomorrow morning, but before he could finish his words, the light in Tian Shanhua's room came on.
"Dazhu, who's here?" Tian Shanhua asked.
"Mom, it's Uncle Fugui. He said he has something urgent to talk to you about." Zhou Dazhu had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Dazhu, let your uncle Fugui come in." Tian Shanhua ordered.
"Okay, Mom." Zhou Dazhu had no choice but to move his body away from blocking the door.
In the Zhou family, Tian Shanhua's authority cannot be challenged.
No one in the Zhou family dared to disobey Tian Shanhua's words and decisions, including Zhou Dazhu's father Zhou Fugen.
After Zhou Dazhui became the team leader, he was very powerful and commanding in the village.
However, after returning home, Zhou Dazhu still had to listen to his mother.
Zhou Dazhui and his brothers separated ten years ago, and my mom and dad live with the eldest son Zhou Dazhui.
"Uncle Fugui, I'll make you a cup of tea." Zhou Dazhu said as he sent Zhou Fugui to the door of Tianshan Flower House.
"No need, Dazhu, I'm not thirsty. I'll just talk to your mother and leave." After Zhou Fugui said this, he turned around and went into the house and closed the door.
Zhou Dazhui, who was locked outside the door, was furious.
When he said he would make tea for Zhou Fugui, he was just being polite. In fact, he wanted to use the opportunity of serving tea to hear what Zhou Fugui and Tian Shanhua were talking about.
Although it is impossible for him to be as rich as Zhou Xiaoguang, he still has to be on guard.
Zhou Fugui didn’t know what Zhou Dazhu was thinking, but even if he knew, Zhou Dazhu wouldn’t care.
Planning to take over Tian Shanhua? Isn't he tired of living?
Tian Shanhua is not an ordinary woman, she is a military spy, codenamed "Man-eating Plant".
However, Zhou Dazhui and his brothers and Zhou Fugen probably don’t know that Tian Shanhua has such a "glorious" past.
"Tell me! What's the urgent matter that you want to talk to me about?" Tian Shanhua couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhou Fugui coming in with his head down and looking like he was worried about something.
"Sister-in-law, Meimei is back today." Zhou Fugui pondered for a moment and said, "She believed the engagement you mentioned before and is not very satisfied with her current life. Sister-in-law, can you find a chance to tell Meimei tomorrow that the engagement you mentioned before was a joke?"
"Fugui, it's understandable that Meimei wants to live a good life. My previous proposal has always been valid. As long as Meimei is willing to marry, she can choose any of my brother's sons." Tian Shanhua glanced at Zhou Fugui and said with a smile.
Don't think Tian Shanhua can't see that Zhou Fugui has been trying to erase the fact that he was a spy in the past few years. He wants to get out of her control and live an ordinary life.
At the beginning, she warned Zhou Fugui that once he joined them, there would be no turning back.
"Sister-in-law, there's really no need. Meimei is already married and has a good relationship with her husband." Zhou Fugui was startled and waved his hands quickly.
Zhou Fugui knew that Tian Shanhua deliberately boasted about the good life abroad in front of Zhou Meimei, actually trying to drag Zhou Meimei into it.
After Zhou Fugui stopped her, Tian Shanhua wanted to take Zhou Meimei abroad as a means to control Zhou Fugui.
Zhou Fugui definitely can't let this happen.
It would be better for Zhou Meimei to stay in China and be a worker on an assembly line than to go abroad and be a "rich wife" without freedom!
Over the years, Zhou Fugui regretted countless times. He shouldn't have agreed to join the White Party for a bowl of sweet potato rice from Tian Shanhua when he was half starving. Later, he shouldn't have agreed to join Tian Shanhua's spy organization for a job. The most wrong thing was that he believed Tian Shanhua's lies and took the child home to raise as his own child. Poor San'er, he died to make room for that "scourge"...
"Fugui! I know you want to get out of it, but there are many things that you can't get out of just because you want to. Even I can't help myself!" Tian Shanhua sighed and said.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't. I just feel that I have to bear the consequences of my own actions. I hope you won't say those things in front of Meimei and the others in the future. The child is young and can't resist the temptation." Zhou Fugui said with a wry smile.
"Fugui, do you blame me for not bringing you into the organization back then?" Tian Shanhua asked.
"How could that be possible? Sister-in-law, if you hadn't given me a bowl of sweet potato rice, my parents and I would have starved to death." Zhou Fugui said with a wry smile.
Zhou Fugui still doesn't understand why Tian Shanhua took a fancy to him.
Although he is a bit smart, he is just an ordinary person. He is not outstanding in anything he does.
