What happened next was no longer something Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Guohui could intervene in. They said goodbye to Wu Youcheng and walked out of the police station.
"Brother-in-law, do you think that in this world, people who are shameless are invincible?" After the two of them walked in silence for a while, Zhao Guohui couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
Take, for example, Wang Biyun, a country woman who, out of selfish motives, reported her husband, Gu Tiezhu, for stealing trees. Gu Tiezhu faced imprisonment, but Wang Biyun fled to Qingshan City to enjoy a life of ease. Now, Wang Biyun has reported the thieves who sheltered her, without a second thought about whether she, Wang Biyun, would have enough to eat or survive in Qingshan City without their shelter. Then there's Zhao Guohui's former father-in-law, Xu Laolai, a lazy, ever-exploiting glutton who earned a terrible reputation outside his home. Yet, he maintains a self-satisfied self-esteem, bullying his family with no sense of guilt.
These two shameless people never look for the reasons in themselves. Wang Biyun and Xu Laolai have similar logic: if they are not doing well, it is because others are not good to them.
On the contrary, the honest Gutiezhu was imprisoned by Wang Biyun, and the honest Xu Liqin lost her children and her family because of Xu Laolai. These things made Zhao Guohui, who has always been honest and upright, feel a lot.
"Guohui, I believe that there is always justice in this world. When a person does things, he should not do it for others to see, but to make sure that he has a clear conscience." Zhou Zhixin thought for a while and answered.
The advantage gained by those who are cunning and cunning is only temporary. For Zhou Zhixin, he always believed that hard work pays off. Over the years, Zhou Zhixin studied diligently and worked diligently in the army, never trying to curry favor with anyone or undermine anyone. Zhou Zhixin's promotion speed was considered rapid, demonstrating that hard work is always noticed. Conversely, those who don't work hard may get by once or twice, but they will definitely not be able to get by forever.
Yes! The most important thing in doing anything is to have a clear conscience. You can’t deceive others by deceiving your conscience! After Zhao Guohui chewed Zhou Zhixin’s words over in his heart several times, Zhao Guohui recalled his two-year marriage with Xu Liqin and found that he didn’t owe Xu Liqin anything. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt cheerful.
At the entrance of the First Department Store, Zhao Yunxiang was carrying several large bags of things in one hand and holding Zhou Jiasheng with the other, looking around.
Today's yarn is excellent, available in both semi-wool and full-wool varieties. Full-wool yarn is spun from 100% pure wool, offering a soft and warm feel—the kind of yarn people dream of these days. Semi-wool yarn is a blend of 50% wool and 50% acrylic. While this yarn isn't as warm as full-wool yarn, it's also insect-resistant.
Zhao Yunxiang spent fifteen yuan on eight pounds of wool, no ticket required. That was almost half a month's salary for Zhou Zhixin. If Zhao Yunxiang hadn't made money from her fish ball business, she wouldn't have dared to spend so lavishly.
Zhao Yunxiang bought something for everyone in the family. The two children were still young, so she bought half-wool yarn, while the four adults all went for full-wool yarn. The yarn was fluffy, and Zhao Yunxiang held eight pounds of it in a large bag.
After Zhao Yunxiang bought the yarn, she found Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Guohui missing. Zhao Yunxiang was a little dumbfounded. It was her first time in Qingshan City, and she didn't know the way back to the guesthouse.
Zhao Yunxiang had no choice but to take Zhou Jiasheng to wait at the gate of the No. 1 Department Store. Zhao Yunxiang thought that Zhou Zhixin and the others must have something urgent to do, otherwise they would not have run away without even saying a word.
After Zhou Xi walked out of the city committee’s family compound, he strolled onto Jiefang Street.
Walking in the bustling crowd, Zhou Xi felt that his restless heart gradually calmed down.
The Zhou family has had a lot going on in recent years. Zhou Xi has to take care of General Zhou's mood on the one hand, and keep an eye on Zhou Nianxin's frequent movements on the other, keeping his mind on edge. Even when he was away for a few days, Zhou Xi would call the Zhou family every morning and evening to explain everything, big and small, and try not to upset General Zhou.
Zhou Nianxin was picked up by General Zhou accidentally when he passed by Qingshan City. At that time, Zhou Nianxin was about ten years old. Although he was wearing coarse clothes, his words and deeds did not seem like those from a poor family.
General Zhou adopted Zhou Nianxin because he missed his grandson Zhou Xinyu who had disappeared since childhood.
When General Zhou adopted Zhou Nianxin, Zhou Xi had objected. While the aura surrounding the young Zhou Nianxin didn't indicate any signs of evil, Zhou Xi felt he wasn't as simple as he claimed. Separated parents? China had been peaceful for so many years, without war or famine. If Zhou Nianxin and his family were ordinary farmers, why didn't they stay home instead of wandering around?
Zhou Xi was half a cultivator and had direct intuition about some things. Zhou Xi just felt that Zhou Nianxin would hinder the fortune of General Zhou's family, but when asked to say what was wrong with Zhou Nianxin back then, Zhou Xi had no evidence at all.
General Zhou always believed that his excessive killings had led to the Zhou family's lack of descendants. When General Zhou adopted Zhou Nianxin, he actually wanted to accumulate merit for his missing grandson Zhou Xinyu.
General Zhou's two sons died during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, General Zhou's only son was also killed by enemy agents. During that chaos, a loyal member of the Zhou family, Old K's father, Ke Wenjie, temporarily placed General Zhou's grandson in the care of a local family surnamed Zhou. Once the situation stabilized, Ke Wenjie returned to look for the young master, only to discover that the family had vanished.
Ke Wenjie searched the entire city but could not find any information about the young master. Feeling guilty, Ke Wenjie died six or seven years later.
Over the years, General Zhou and Zhou Xi had never given up searching for Zhou Xinyu. However, China was a vast country with such a vast population, and for over twenty years, General Zhou and Zhou Xi had received no news of Zhou Xinyu. Two years ago, General Zhou had given up hope of finding Zhou Xinyu. Only Zhou Xi, still convinced that his young master would not die young, remained.
Over the past two years, as General Zhou's health deteriorated, Zhou Nianxin began to show his sharp claws. Zhou Nianxin regarded himself as the next head of the Zhou family and recruited a group of people to work for him.
Zhou Xi saw that Zhou Nianxin was just forming cliques to gain more power and did not do anything out of line. For the sake of General Zhou's health, Zhou Xi tried to hide many things from General Zhou so as not to upset him.
The same thing happened this time. Before Zhou Zhixin's identity was completely discovered, Zhou Xi still had to bear this secret alone. I hope that God will see that Zhou Zhixin is really his young master!
While Zhou Xi was deep in thought, he heard a commotion coming from the front.
