"Mom, Juan is not at home. She went to her classmate's house. When she comes home, I will ask her to come to see you. Is that okay with you?" Zuo Qing's voice has always been soft and gentle, but when Wang Wenjun heard it today, it sounded perfunctory.
"Eldest brother's wife, tell him to answer the phone." Wang Wenjun's face was full of anger. She didn't want to hear Zuo Qing's hypocritical voice. She wanted to talk to her son.
"Mom, Manwen has gone to work. If you have something urgent to talk to him about, you have to wait a while. He is still on the way! If the matter is not urgent, I will let Manwen come to your place after get off work." Zuo Qing answered slowly.
"Zuo Qing, how can you be a wife? I asked you to do something, but you can't do any of it." Wang Wenjun roared angrily.
"Mom, I'll call Manwen right away. You can talk to him if you need anything." After Zuo Qing finished speaking, he put down the phone with a "click" without waiting for Wang Wenjun to continue her outburst.
Hearing the "click" sound coming from the microphone, Wang Wenjun's face turned dark.
Had the eldest brother's wife become so bold today? She'd actually hung up on her? Did she...know what she'd done to Zhu Jun and Zhu Juan?
No! Impossible. These three children were Zuo Qing's lifeblood. If Zuo Qing knew she had sacrificed Zhu Juan and Zhu Jun to the idol, she wouldn't be so calm towards her today.
Why did the daughter-in-law, who had been so obedient for decades, change her temper? Did she think the old woman was easy to bully? Or did she feel her position was secure and she no longer needed to please her mother-in-law?
No! She couldn't just let it go. Tonight, she would ask the eldest brother to come home and discipline his wife. Wang Wenjun secretly made a plan.
After Zuo Qing hung up the phone, she felt a surge of relief. She'd been wanting to do something to shrug off her mother-in-law for a long time. Unfortunately, she'd never found the opportunity. Wang Wenjun used to always put on a kind face, her words always saying, "It's for your own good."
For twenty years, Zuo Qing has never gone against her mother-in-law's wishes.
The more Wang Wenjun cared about Zhu Juan not returning to the old house, the more Zuo Qing didn't want her to go back. It wasn't out of anger, but whenever Zuo Qing thought about it, he always felt an inexplicable worry in his heart.
Not only Zhu Juan suspected that Wang Wenjun had moved her bed, but even Zuo Qing had the same suspicion. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Zhu Juan wasn't sure which rooms Wang Wenjun had entered, but Zuo Qing knew for sure. After Wang Wenjun went upstairs, she had only entered the room where Zhu Juan and her sister were staying. And yet, the bed broke in the middle of the night while the three girls were sleeping. Zuo Qing didn't believe Wang Wenjun hadn't been behind this.
Zuo Qing felt that Wang Wenjun's temper was even weirder than before.
Zhu Juan had simply rejected Wang Wenjun's proposal to move back to the old house. If Wang Wenjun was unhappy, he would have lost his temper and scolded Zhu Juan. If she had been more unreasonable, Wang Wenjun would have scolded Zuo Qing as well, and Zuo Qing would have understood.
He secretly broke the bed board just to force Zhu Juan and the others to move back to the old house. Wang Wenjun's behavior not only made Zuo Qing disgusted, but also a little wary.
Therefore, Zuo Qing had no objection to Zhu Juan's decision to stay outside for a few days.
Today, Zuo Qing had a confrontation with Wang Wenjun over the phone. Listening to Wang Wenjun's furious roar, he felt one word: awesome.
Zuo Qing turned around with a smile on her face, preparing to go to work. Although her company had some free time, she had already taken nearly a month off. Zhu Manwen had already returned to work today, and Zuo Qing felt embarrassed not to go back to work.
"Jun? You didn't go out?" When Zuo Qing saw Zhu Jun a few steps away from him, the smile on his face froze.
Oh no! She had forgotten that Jun had been staying at home all this time. Did Jun hear what she had just said to her mother-in-law? Would Jun think that she, as a mother, was not filial enough to the elderly?
"Mom, it should be like this every time." Zhu Jun did not answer Zuo Qing's words, but said.
Zhu Jun came downstairs just as Zuo Qing answered the phone. He heard everything Zuo Qing said, and even Wang Wenjun's words on the other end of the line. It was precisely because he felt his hearing was a little "strange" that Zhu Jun remained silent.
What? Zuo Qing was a little confused, unable to process his son's "unconventional" words of comfort.
"Mom, you should stop pampering her." Zhu Jun was clearer this time. He didn't mention Wang Wenjun by name, but used "her" instead.
However, Zuo Qing understood.
Zuo Qing smiled when he heard the protective tone in his son's words.
"Jun, it's nothing. Your grandma doesn't lose her temper often. Mom is used to it. As long as you three siblings are fine, it's just a few words. Mom can still bear it." Zuo Qing explained because she was afraid that her son would think she disrespected Wang Wenjun.
Zhu Jun's expression was somewhat complicated.
If his mother knew what his grandmother had done to him and his sister, she would have exploded long ago! However, this is also a good thing. If his mother knew more, she might not blame herself.
"Mom, where is Juan? I have something to talk to her about." Zhu Jun changed the subject.
Zhu Jun did have something to ask Zhu Juan. Zhu Jun wanted to consult Zhou Yuanyuan, but was afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan would ignore him, so he wanted Zhu Juan to help him speak in front of Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Juan went to her classmate's house. Her bed broke, and the new one won't be delivered until tomorrow." Zuo Qing couldn't help feeling annoyed when he thought of this.
The bed was broken. Zuo Qing's two sisters-in-law came to Zuo Qing and said a lot of things yesterday. They told Zuo Qing not to be greedy for cheap things and buy some low-quality furniture for his family. Yan Hui's back was bruised and she was scared.
Zuo Qing was so angry that he wanted to curse.
The furniture in the entire house was purchased by Zuo Qing, using the savings of Zhu Manwen and Zuo Qing. The two sisters-in-law didn't contribute a penny, but they did say a lot of weird things. It would be strange if Zuo Qing didn't get angry.
Yesterday, Zuo Qing took some time out to go to the home furnishing mall and buy three new beds, which was both costly and laborious.
"Which classmate's home? Could it be Zhou Yuanyuan's?" Zhu Jun smiled. If it really was Zhou Yuanyuan's home, that would be great.
"I don't know either, Jun. Mom has to go out to work and is almost late." Zuo Qing looked at the watch on his hand and felt a little anxious.
"Mom, then I'll go to Zhou's house to look for Juan." Zhu Jun made up his mind immediately.
Go find Juan? Zuo Qing frowned, stopped walking out, and asked, "Jun, do you want your sister to move back to the old house?"
