He didn't realize something was wrong until his wife brought it up.
Uncle Zhou, who had been feeling sleepy, immediately perked up: "You're right, this isn't right. I'll ask her about it tomorrow."
The next day, when the Zhou family learned from Zhou Xuehua that she had actually been sent back by Fan's father, their expressions changed.
Even Old Mrs. Zhou, who was so old, actually picked up a broom and started hitting her: "You've had too many good days, now you come to spend money on us. We thought you could help support your family, but you've come to take advantage of us. Is it because we didn't ask that you'd keep quiet?"
Zhou Xuehua hadn't been beaten like this in a long time. Ever since she married Fan's father, she had been living a good life.
After Old Lady Zhou was panting heavily from the beating, she finally sobbed out the reason.
After hearing this, the Zhou family members all wore expressions that were hard to describe.
Every family values their sons and grandsons who can carry on the family line, yet Zhou Xuehua is holding a worthless child in her palm.
Old Master Zhou's face darkened: "No wonder when I looked for my grandson, he cried poverty to me. It's true."
With Zhou Xuehua's actions, he thought his grandson, who was definitely not short of money, wouldn't have much money.
We should try to get closer to them.
"You're so confused! When you get old, will your son or your daughter be more important? Are you crazy?"
Even though Zhou Xuehua was in pain all over from the beating, she still explained, "Yunli is very lovable, she's different."
Aunt Zhou felt that her younger sister had gone mad. Thinking back to herself, when Zhou Wuguo's affair caused a great uproar, she still married off her daughter without hesitation for her son's benefit.
What's the difference? They're still the same money-losing goods. She pouted. But it's strange, given how much Zhou Xuehua dotes on Fan Yunli, she must treat Fan Xiaofan well too. When they abandoned Fan Xiaofan, they must have been hiding something from her, otherwise she wouldn't be living so well.
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhou immediately spoke up: "You dote on your two daughters, but you left them with us to raise without giving us much. You gave that money-losing girl quite a bit, didn't you?"
Zhou Xuehua didn't react for a moment, but quickly realized she was talking about Fan Xiaofan, and said strangely, "I didn't..."
She had listened to Yunli and sent her second daughter to the countryside to recuperate, but she knew in her heart that girls in the Zhou family never had a good life from childhood to adulthood. Could Fan Xiaofan really recuperate properly in the Zhou family?
But speaking of this daughter, didn't she get her educated youth status processed?
Why didn't I see anyone when I went to Xiangyang Brigade last time?
Zhou Xuehua only remembered this now.
Aunt Zhou, however, did not believe Zhou Xuehua's words. If she hadn't given Fan Xiaofan extra money, a young girl would have starved to death long ago, especially someone like them who had someone to rely on.
"Alright, none of that matters. When is your son-in-law going to pick you up?"
Old Master Zhou has spoken, saying that these trivial matters are not important. As long as his daughter remains Fan's wife, there will always be benefits in the future.
Zhou Xuehua also spoke up, feeling wronged: "I went to Yunyan, but that unfilial son of a bitch wouldn't help me. What could I do?"
Grandpa Zhou glared at her and said, "Then is your doting daughter any good?"
Zhou Xuehua immediately retorted on Fan Yunli's behalf: "Our Yunli is so filial. She cried so hard when I left, and she must be missing me terribly at home now."
Old Master Zhou was impatient with her nonsense and simply told her to shut up.
