Hu Sanniang did not agree to Zhao Yunxiang's apprenticeship, but she did not hide her skills and came to teach Zhao Yunxiang embroidery every day. Zhao Yunxiang was very quick to understand, and after a few days, the flowers and plants she embroidered were already very realistic.
When the messenger arrived to deliver the message, Zhao Yunxiang was stunned. She had never seen anyone as disgusting as Zhou Chunping. Years ago, Zhou Chunping had already tried to kill Zhou Zhixin, a fact known to everyone in Sanhe Town. And now he had the nerve to come to the garrison to claim his kinship? What was he planning?
Seeing Zhao Yunxiang's unhappy expression, Hu Sanniang smiled and asked, "Sister, is this someone you hate?"
Hu Sanniang was assigned to Zhao Yunxiang by Zhou Yuanyuan. Although Zhou Yuanyuan didn't explicitly state it, Hu Sanniang guessed it. She had her stay with Zhao Yunxiang partly because she loved tailoring and embroidery, and wanted Hu Sanniang to teach her the craft. She also wanted her to protect her. After spending the past few days with her, Hu Sanniang realized that Zhao Yunxiang was a bit indecisive. With Zhao Qingshan and Zhou Yuanyuan away, Hu Sanniang naturally had to help check on Zhao Yunxiang.
Zhao Yunxiang finally found someone to complain to. Anyway, Hu Sanniang had no connection with either of their families. From an outsider's perspective, she might be able to guess the purpose of Zhou Chunping and the others coming to find Zhou Zhixin.
After Zhao Yunxiang recounted the grievances between her family and Zhou Chunping, she asked anxiously, "Sister Hu, what should I do about this? Zhixin isn't home, and I don't want to acknowledge him. I'm also unsure what he's thinking. Now that Zhixin's status is different, I'm afraid others will say he's become wealthy and forgotten the kindness of Zhou Chunping and his wife in raising him."
Indeed, in Chinese tradition, if a person becomes successful and does not recognize his former friends and relatives, he will be despised by everyone.
"Sister, why don't you go and take a look and you'll know?" Hu Sanniang suggested to Zhao Yunxiang. Zhou Chunping and his wife suddenly appeared at the gate of the camp. It was easy to guess what they were up to. They were either here to take advantage of the situation or to discredit Zhou Zhixin. Hu Sanniang had lived for hundreds of years, what kind of people had she not seen?
"Yeah, let's go down and take a look! Otherwise, Zhixin will be criticized." Zhao Yunxiang was thinking about Zhou Zhixin's situation. Things are different now, and Zhou Zhixin cannot have the stain of not recognizing his adoptive parents.
In the regimental commander's office, after Xu Dahai had sent a messenger to inform Zhao Yunxiang, he began to think something was amiss. The sentry at the gate had called and mentioned the tattered clothing Zhou Chunping and his wife wore. As far as Xu Dahai knew, Zhou Chunping was a retired worker, receiving not only a monthly pension but also food supplies from the government. Logically, these two people coming to Kyoto to search for their relatives should have dressed elegantly. Was this beggarly appearance a deliberate attempt to smear Zhou Zhixin?
After Xu Dahai made up his mind, he immediately called Zhou Xi. Zhou Xi had told Xu Dahai that he should be notified immediately of any incident concerning Zhou Zhixin, no matter how big or small.
When Zhou Xi and Xu Dahai said this, they were on guard against Zhou Chunping's potential mischief. Sure enough, within a few months, Zhou Chunping and his wife were being exploited by Zhou Nianxin.
Zhou Xi sneered inwardly when he received Xu Dahai's call. He had been secretly investigating Zhou Nianxin's actions. He was shocked to learn that Zhou Nianxin was so bold that he was actually involved with an overseas spy organization.
Zhou Xi had spent his entire life working for the revolution under General Zhou, and what he hated most were those who didn't know their ancestors. Zhou Nianxin grew up in China, ate Chinese rice, and drank Chinese water. Yet, he engaged in shameful acts against China. Zhou Xi felt that such a Zhou Nianxin deserved no pity for his death.
This time, Zhou Xi wouldn't hide Zhou Nianxin's secrets from General Zhou. Previously, out of concern for General Zhou's health, Zhou Xi hadn't told General Zhou about Zhou Nianxin's subtle actions. Now that General Zhou was well, it was time for him to understand Zhou Nianxin's true colors.
Hu Sanniang followed Zhao Yunxiang to the gate of the camp. Zhou Chunping immediately rushed over and shouted, "Old Third Family, I finally found you."
The foul odor of Zhou Chunping caused Hu Sanniang and Zhao Yunxiang to take a step back. Looking at the slovenly old man before her, Zhao Yunxiang almost thought she was seeing things. How could the usually neat and tidy Zhou Chunping be in such a state of disgrace? Wu Jinfeng, usually a fierce and aggressive person, now huddled aside, not rushing forward with Zhou Chunping.
"Old Third Family, where is Zhixin? Doesn't he want to come out to see me? I know he still hates me, right? As the saying goes, the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to one! How could Zhixin be so magnanimous as to blame us two elders?" Zhou Chunping saw that there was no trace of Zhou Zhixin behind Zhao Yunxiang, and he couldn't help showing a sad look. He deliberately raised his voice and said: "Old Third Family, everything is my fault. I kneel down to you here, please ask Zhixin to forgive me!"
Zhou Chunping remembered Old K's teachings and spared no effort to discredit Zhou Zhixin. At this time, Zhou Zhixin was not around, so he did the same to Zhao Yunxiang.
Zhou Chunping made up his mind and was about to kneel down to plead with Zhao Yunxiang. Before he knelt, Zhou Chunping wondered if Old K would be satisfied with his performance. In the countryside, if an elder knelt before a younger one, the younger one's reputation would be ruined.
"Sir, who are you? We don't know you." Seeing Zhou Chunping's attitude, Hu Sanniang knew what he wanted to do. From the moment Zhao Yunxiang appeared until now, Zhou Chunping had been talking to himself, leaving no room for Zhao Yunxiang to speak. In this case, Hu Sanniang didn't mind letting this shameless Zhou Chunping have a taste of her power.
Zhou Chunping bent his knees, but before he knelt down, he heard a slight "crack." He then hugged one knee and wailed, "Ouch, it hurts so much! My leg is broken."
"No noise allowed in the military camp!" Liu Xiaobin couldn't stand it any longer. This guy who claimed to be Captain Zhou's adoptive father looked like he had lost his mind. He was talking nonsense and shouting happily.
Liu Xiaobin saw it clearly just now. Zhao Yunxiang and Hu Sanniang were both three feet away from Zhou Chunping. Zhou Chunping suddenly hugged his legs and cried out in pain. Two big words popped up in Liu Xiaobin's mind - "scam".
This person must be here to commit fraud, not to recognize his relatives.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaobin raised the gun in his hand and shouted: "Stop, don't make a sound, raise your hands!"
Zhou Chunping felt that his leg must be broken. Just as he was about to kneel down, his knee was hit hard by a huge force, and then a sharp pain spread to his head.
