Old Mrs. Zhou angrily punched Zhou Xuehua, saying, "With the way you talk, it's no wonder Yunyan would be willing to help you."
"Alright, stop fooling around. Pack your things and go find Yunyan. Ask him to put in a good word for you. You're just being ridiculous. Let me tell you, if your son-in-law doesn't want to take you back..."
Old Master Zhou's face was dark and gloomy. Zhou Xuehua couldn't help but recall the fear of being dominated by her father in the past, and she shivered.
He stammered, "But, but..."
In Fan's father's eyes, the decision to send Fan Yunyan to the countryside meant that he was no longer the eldest son who was once the most favored.
Even if we contact him, what can he do?
Just like last time, I'm just rejecting myself.
However, under the oppressive atmosphere of the Zhou family, Zhou Xuehua did not dare to say anything. It was probably because the Zhou family's trip to Xiangyang Brigade had not been pleasant. Whenever Grandpa Zhou mentioned going there, Aunt Zhou would pout and refuse.
And they came up with a particularly good reason: "Where do elders go to find their juniors again and again? Just have the siblings come over."
Grandpa Zhou thought for a moment and nodded, then sent someone to Xiangyang Brigade to tell Fan Yunyan and Fan Xiaofan to come over when they had some free time.
They waited for three or four days, and the Zhou family couldn't sit still any longer and planned to ask someone else. Fan Yunyan finally arrived late that noon.
"Why are you alone? Where's your sister?"
The Zhou family asked curiously.
Fan Yunyan has now trained himself to lie without batting an eye. He scratched his head and said, "Xiao Fan is sick."
Hearing him say this, the Zhou family members present frowned, but they didn't say anything more. After all, the main purpose of this was to persuade Fan Yunyan to speak well of Zhou Xuehua and get her back to Fan's father as soon as possible.
As for Fan Yunyan saying that Fan Xiaofan was sick, no one doubted it much, since she had always given people the impression of being frail and sickly, and it would be strange if she didn't get sick in this kind of weather.
After Fan Yunyan sat down, he received the Zhou family's exceptionally high level of hospitality, including a bowl of plain water.
Aunt Zhou, without batting an eye, said, "We're short on food at home. We just need some water to fill our stomachs..."
Fan Yunyan raised an eyebrow, said nothing, but looked at them with a puzzled expression, as if asking why he had been called back.
Grandpa Zhou coughed, first adopting a certain posture, and then scolded Zhou Xuehua, saying, "I have already heard about the foolish things your mother did. She did something wrong, and we have already told her off. But look at her, she is a married daughter, it's not appropriate for her to stay at her parents' home for so long, is it?"
At this point, Fan Yunyan had already understood what was meant.
He became serious and said, "Grandpa, I really want to help, but I can't say anything to my father. To be honest, my family has already made a fuss about me going to the countryside. If I go and say something, I'm afraid it will only backfire and make my dad think that my mom is up to something again."
Upon hearing this, the Zhou family members exchanged bewildered glances.
Aunt Zhou was the first to panic: "Then what should we do? We can't let your mother live in our house forever. She's married now. In short, if your father doesn't care, you have to."
"Nonsense..."
Old Master Zhou directly rebuked her, saying that his goal was to get Zhou Xuehua back to the Fan family so that their Zhou family could benefit from it in the future. What was the point of sending Zhou Xuehua to follow Fan Yunyan?
"He himself was a sent-down youth, and he didn't even have enough food for himself... how could he take care of others?"
Fan Yunyan scratched his head: "As a son, I have to take care of you, but you might not have a good life with me. Mom, don't worry, I'll talk to the village chief properly. If you come with me to work, you won't starve."
