Zhao Yunxiang felt awkward. She would rather be like before, where people who disliked her would still dislike her, and people who liked her would still like her, and everyone would just say what they wanted. Zhao Yunxiang herself would not deliberately pick on anyone, and she did not need others to deliberately please her. These past few days, Zhao Yunxiang felt like everyone was wearing a mask, and the fakeness made her uncomfortable.
To say that the military wives who came to visit were all motivated by General Zhou's power would be a bit of an exaggeration. Zhao Yunxiang understood that, aside from a few who were snobbish, most of them came out of respect for General Zhou. General Zhou was too distant, so these people used their smiles and smiles to greet Zhao Yunxiang, General Zhou's granddaughter-in-law, as a way to express their admiration for him up close. But none of this was what Zhao Yunxiang wanted. She didn't need General Zhou's halo constantly hanging over her head; it made her feel helpless and awkward.
Zhao Yunxiang just wanted to be herself, or rather, she had gotten used to her previous identity and her ordinary life. Now, wherever she went, there were a lot of eyes staring at her, and Zhao Yunxiang didn't like it at all.
This brings me to Zhao Yunxiang's neighbor, He Lai Di. After learning about Zhou Zhixin's new identity, He Lai Di regretted it deeply. Had she known things would take such a dramatic turn, He Lai Di would never have bothered Zhao Yunxiang, let alone brought Zhou Zhixin's family affairs to Li Hongmei.
However, He Lai Di was a thick-skinned person. After thinking about it all night, He Lai Di ran to Zhao Yunxiang early the next morning to express her loyalty, and by the way, she completely betrayed Li Hongmei's request that she pay attention to Zhao Yunxiang's family.
Zhao Yunxiang felt helpless, feeling her life had been severely disrupted. Having been married to Zhou Zhixin for so many years, Zhao Yunxiang knew him well. Regardless of whether he was from General Zhou's family or simply had no background, Zhao Yunxiang was certain he wouldn't get involved with Li Hongmei. If He Lai Di had acted this way, Zhao Yunxiang would have been more cautious, and the couple would have been in a fight.
It seems that with General Zhou's golden signboard around, there will be no rest in the days ahead. Zhao Yunxiang smiled bitterly.
Zhao Yunxiang wondered if she should discuss the move with Zhou Zhixin when he returned home from training in a few days. She didn't want to live in the family housing complex anymore. The people around her were a source of annoyance for her, but more importantly, since moving in with Zhao Qingshan, Zhou Jiasheng and Zhou Yuanyuan had barely come home once a week. Zhao Yunxiang felt her position was deeply challenged. How could she, a mother, be so dispensable in the eyes of her children?
Thinking of Zhao Guohui who was far away in Zhaojiagou, Zhao Yunxiang had an idea in her mind.
Or, should she use her younger brother's upcoming wedding as an excuse to accompany her father back to Zhaojiagou? After a few months away, Zhao Yunxiang truly missed the hometown where she was born and raised. This way, she could meet her younger brother's gentle and kind sister-in-law sooner, and also avoid these unpleasant things.
Zhao Yunxiang rushed home, packed her things, and headed to the city to find Zhao Qingshan. Zhou Zhixin's training would still last for several days, and by the time they returned from Zhaojiagou, Zhou Zhixin might not even be home.
Zhao Qingshan happened to be on vacation today. When he heard Zhao Yunxiang say that Zhao Guohui had brought a girl back to Zhaojiagou and was going to get married, Zhao Qingshan was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Zhou Yuanyuan, the little shrew, was so surprised when she heard this that she even forgot to open her mouth wide. You know, Zhou Yuanyuan is a conceited person. Under normal circumstances, she thinks that the expression of opening her mouth wide is too stupid.
Zhou Yuanyuan was really shocked, shocked by the appearance of her new aunt.
In his previous life, Zhao Guohui didn't bring back a beautiful wife. After Zhao Qingshan's death, Zhao Guohui went to a city in the south and there was no news of him since. There were rumors that Zhao Guohui was hacked to death in the street, and there were also rumors that Zhao Guohui became the son-in-law of a wealthy man and moved across the ocean. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know whether the rumors were true or not, but in her lifetime, she never saw Zhao Guohui again.
But now, Zhao Guohui had actually brought back a wife? It seemed that Zhou Yuanyuan's rebirth had profoundly changed the fate of those around her. Zhou Yuanyuan was sincerely happy for Zhao Guohui. Her uncle deserved a wonderful life.
Zhao Qingshan was so happy that he circled the room in joy. When Zhao Guohui had just divorced, Zhao Qingshan had thought he wouldn't have grandchildren for another three to five years. Now, in just a few months, his son had already walked out of the shadow of his previous marriage. This was what Zhao Qingshan was most happy about.
Zhao Qingshan thought, his son's wedding, as a father, he should be there! Otherwise, wouldn't it be neglecting the girl? Just because Yu Meiru was willing to follow Zhao Guohui all the way to Zhaojiagou, Zhao Qingshan looked up to her.
Zhou Yuanyuan also wanted to take the opportunity to go back to Zhaojiagou. She had already thought of a use for the large amount of treasure she and Wen Ziqing had retrieved from the secret room last year.
After General Zhou recognized her as a relative, Zhou Yuanyuan mentioned to Wen Ziqing that he should find a way out for the treasure as soon as possible, such as letting General Zhou handle it.
Wen Ziqing had always been tolerant of Zhou Yuanyuan's unusual behavior. He never questioned her reasons for such thoughts. Whenever Zhou Yuanyuan suggested something, Wen Ziqing would quietly follow through, doing his best. This time was no different. Shortly after Zhou Yuanyuan finished speaking, Wen Ziqing approached Zhao Qingshan to discuss his thoughts on the treasure.
Ever since the discovery of the treasure, Zhao Qingshan had been plagued by it. It would have been impossible for him not to have been tempted by such a large sum of money. The treasure was considered ownerless property, and according to folk custom, ownerless property generally belonged to whoever found it. Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan had discovered the treasure together, so by convention, it belonged to them.
Wen Ziqing and Zhao Qingshan told him that he didn't want these things, and he would fight for what he wanted with his own hands in the future.
Zhao Qingshan had considered leaving a portion of his wealth to his children and donating the rest to the nation. However, during that period, everything was in turmoil, and even if Zhao Qingshan wanted to donate, he had nowhere to go. So, he asked Wen Ziqing to temporarily move the treasure to a cave in Daqing Mountain.
Although the cave was hidden, Zhao Qingshan was also afraid of the possibility that such a large fortune would be discovered. If someone discovered it, it might cause a bloodbath. There were not many people in the world who were as open-minded as Zhao Qingshan. A family could turn against each other for a little food, let alone such a large fortune.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Zhao Qingshan thought that if someone tried to track down the property, his family would definitely be in trouble.
