"Just know it yourself." Zhao Zhenzhu sighed and said, "I am an outsider in this family, and you are not much better. Compared with your elder brother and second brother, you are like a son who was picked up."
"Pearl, do you think so too? I also feel that sometimes I am not like my parents' biological son at all. From childhood to adulthood, I have never been liked by my parents, and the treatment I received from my brothers and sisters is far worse than that of them." Zhou Bingchen's face darkened as he recalled the past.
"Just know what's going on. Don't be so silly. Just because your parents say a few nice words to you, you want to be nice to them." Zhao Zhenzhu said calmly, "I didn't want to spend your money on the allowance before, but I just thought it was unfair, so I told you about it. But you thought I was stealing money from your mother and told me not to bother with her."
"Zhenzhu, I was wrong about that." Zhou Bingchen's face was full of shame.
Maybe it’s because I lacked love when I was a child.
After Zhou Bingchen joined the army, every time he returned home, Zhou Fugui and Ding Ermei would praise him for his promising future.
Before he had the dream, Zhou Bingchen always thought that if he sent money home, his parents would know how good he was and would truly like him.
"Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Before you leave this time, you have to talk to your family about it. The monthly pension cannot be paid by you alone. It has to be shared equally with the first and second wives. Otherwise, I won't agree." Zhao Zhenzhu said, giving Zhou Bingchen a sidelong glance.
"Yeah, I know." Zhou Bingchen nodded and agreed.
Zhao Zhenzhu said nothing more.
Zhou Bingchen doesn't agree to anything easily, but once he agrees, he will do it.
"Pearl, there's something I think I should tell you..."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Bingchen leaned close to Zhao Zhenzhu's ear and whispered to her about the dream in which he was "poisoned" to death by Zhou Fugui.
Zhou Bingchen felt that he could no longer hide the secret from Zhao Zhenzhu.
If Zhou Fugui is really a spy, if he is really not Zhou Fugui's child, this family is full of danger for Zhou Bingchen and Zhao Zhenzhu.
This time when he returns home, Zhou Bingchen will definitely make all kinds of attempts.
If Zhao Zhenzhu becomes more cautious, her safety will be greatly improved.
Even if the final result is a false alarm, it doesn’t matter.
Zhao Zhenzhu's expression changed.
No wonder Zhou Bingchen died in Widow Liu’s house in his previous life.
It turns out that Zhou Bingchen was not having an affair with Widow Liu, but was murdered by Zhou Fugui and Zhou Dazhu after they discovered the affair between Zhou Bingqiang and Widow Liu.
So, maybe the robbery of her dowry was done by Zhou Fugui and Zhou Dazhu together?
They robbed her of her livelihood, leaving her with nowhere to go and no choice but to work like a slave in the Zhou family.
Yunyun is not Zhou Fugui’s biological granddaughter, so why did Zhou Fugui marry Yunyun to a domestic violence man for the high bride price?
In his previous life, Jiakai killed someone when he grew up. Was it also a trap set by Zhou Fugui and his men?
Zhao Zhenzhu's heart was filled with shock and her face turned pale.
"Zhenzhu, don't be afraid, I will protect you." Zhou Bingchen held Zhao Zhenzhu in his arms and spoke softly to comfort her.
Zhou Bingchen has this confidence.
In the dream, Zhou Bingchen trusted Zhou Fugui too much, which led to him being plotted against.
Now, Zhou Bingchen was on guard. Zhou Fugui and Zhou Dazhu wanted to plot against him? Zhou Bingchen had not spent more than ten years in the army in vain.
"Yeah." Zhao Zhenzhu leaned on Zhou Bingchen's chest and responded.
Zhao Zhenzhu was filled with guilt.
She lived in a daze in her previous life and had no doubts about Zhou Bingchen's death at all.
She hated Zhou Bingchen for betraying her, but she never thought about the possibility that Zhou Bingchen would be framed.
After a long while, Zhao Zhenzhu straightened up and asked, "Bingchen, what are you going to do next?"
"I think this way..." Zhou Bingchen leaned close to Zhao Zhenzhu's ear and whispered his plan.
"Okay, be careful. Just let me know when you need my cooperation." After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhenzhu nodded and agreed.
Just as the couple finished their discussion, the door was pushed.
The next second, Ding Ermei's loud voice rang out: "Bingchen, what are you two doing in there with the door closed in broad daylight?"
Zhou Bingchen and Zhao Zhenzhu looked at each other.
Zhao Zhenzhu raised her chin and motioned Zhou Bingchen to get up and open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Ding Ermei poked her head in and looked in, her eyes rolling around.
Zhao Zhenzhu turned around and pretended to be busy.
"Mom, I asked Zhenzhu to help me change the medicine! Is there anything wrong?" Zhou Bingchen asked helplessly.
"Mom made you a bowl of frangipani, come out and eat it quickly." Ding Ermei said with a smile.
"Zhenzhu, mom made frangipani for us. Let's go." Zhou Bingchen turned around and called Zhao Zhenzhu.
Before Zhao Zhenzhu could say anything, Ding Ermei said hurriedly, "Just do it for you. Aren't you injured? You need to take good care of yourself. Zhenzhu is fine, she doesn't need to eat eggs."
Zhao Zhenzhu curled her lips when she heard this.
A bowl of frangipani, Ding Ermei really treats it as a treasure.
She doesn't want it.
If you want to eat it, why don’t you just get a few eggs and go to the kitchen to make a bowl yourself?
"Bingchen, that's what your mother made specially for you, go and eat it quickly! I ate too much at noon and I'm still full now." Zhao Zhenzhu said lightly.
"Mom, let's go!" Zhou Bingchen had no choice but to close the door and follow Ding Ermei to the kitchen.
While Zhou Bingchen was eating, Ding Ermei was also quiet.
"Bingchen! I heard that there are a lot of foreign goods in your Guangzhou city! Tape recorders and watches don't require tickets. I sent you a letter the day before yesterday, asking you to buy any one of them. Have you bought it?" Ding Ermei asked.
When Ding Ermei was detained in the police station, she heard Xiao Fang and his friends bragging a lot. Now she is considered a "wise" rural old lady.
Xiao Fang said that there were plenty of watches, recorders, and televisions in the Guangzhou market. No tickets were needed, so you could buy them at will. There was nothing wrong with them except that they were a little expensive.
"Mom, the letter you sent the day before yesterday won't reach the army until a week later. I haven't even seen the letter, so how do I know you want to buy it? Besides, watches and tape recorders are very expensive, I can't afford them." Zhou Bingchen looked helpless.
There was an old mother who was like a leech, always thinking about sucking blood from Zhou Bingchen. Zhou Bingchen was speechless.
"What about anything else? You didn't buy some candy or something? There are so many children at home! As their uncle, how can you, coming back from far away, let them down?" Ding Ermei was unhappy.
The last time he went home, Zhou Bingchen bought her a bag of pastries.
At that time, Ding Ermei complained that it was not grand enough.
This year, Zhou Bingchen came back empty-handed. Her cakes... were gone.
"Mom, I had to come back in a very tight schedule this time. Plus, I was injured and had to stay in the hospital for more than half a month. I finally squeezed out a few days to go home. I didn't bring anything except a few sets of clothes to change." Zhou Bingchen said embarrassedly.
