In the eyes of the Zhou family, Zhou Xuehua was utterly foolish.
Every family cherishes its son, and even if they love their daughter, it's only relative. It's only her sister who can neglect her other children for the sake of her daughter...
Now it's even worse; she's driven herself crazy over this marriage...
How will they ever get anything back from this...?
Fan Yunli wasn't as easy to talk to as Zhou Xuehua, and the rest of the Fan family were even less so...
Old Master Zhou cursed Zhou Xuehua inwardly for being stupid, but he hadn't come here just for this matter. Now that he knew Zhou Xuehua was crazy, there was no need to continue discussing it. As long as they didn't send her back to the Zhou family, they couldn't afford to support her.
She forced a sorrowful expression, seemingly deeply saddened by the accident involving her grandchildren's mother, and let out a long sigh: "Your mother's accident has caused me, as an old woman, unbearable heartache..."
Clutching his heart, Uncle Zhou immediately understood and supported him, saying, "Dad, my sister definitely wouldn't want to see you like this. She said she wanted to take good care of you..."
"What filial piety? She can't even take care of herself now, what can I expect from her..."
Fan Yunyan and Lu Zhixi asked, "Do you even believe what you say?"
Whether you stare at us so obviously or not, it's just a matter of following the conversation, making us take the lead in your words, to act as your mother's filial son, and then you can make your demands.
The couple exchanged a knowing glance and twitched their lips.
Lu Zhixi slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, which had no tears. She looked equally sad: "Grandpa and Uncle have also worked hard. My husband and I are stuck here now, unable to do anything, and we can't even take care of ourselves. Father specifically told us to take good care of ourselves."
The implication was that our dad understands how hard things have been for us, so we shouldn't say anything more.
Fan Yunyan also became wary and looked at his wife with heartache. It was not easy for his wife to come with him to the countryside to suffer.
In an ordinary family, it wouldn't hurt to be more filial to one's maternal relatives after one's mother's accident; it would be a good thing. But the Zhou family is different. The Zhou family has caused trouble time and time again. First, they lost their younger sister, and then they manipulated her marriage. Fan Yunyan grew up in Beidu and had no affection for the Zhou family...
So he immediately said, "I'm a sent-down youth now, so it's inconvenient for me to take care of you and be filial to you. How about this, my mother has always doted on Yunli the most, so I'll talk to my father and have her accompany my mother to Zhoujia Village so she can be by your side and fulfill her filial duties..."
Grandpa Zhou's pitiful expression froze instantly. He didn't even want Zhou Xuehua to come back and waste food, let alone have another one…
Is that filial piety or eating one's own flesh...?
Uncle Zhou, with a forced smile, said, "We don't need you to come and take care of us. We're all busy right now, and we can manage on our own. But you know our family's situation. Could you take us to find Xiao Fan and ask her to help us get a factory location?"
The plump auntie, who was watching from the sidelines, laughed in anger as she listened. With her hands on her hips, she said, "You think it's like cabbage, where you can just get a factory location whenever you want? Bah! These days, even cabbage can't be obtained if you're not from the city..."
Uncle Zhou wanted to argue, but seeing the man's fierce expression, he unconsciously backed down: "If we can't handle it, we can have her give her position to our Weiqiang. She's a girl, and I'll arrange for her to marry into a good family when she comes back."
