The story between Zhou Chunping and Widow He was really a bad fate, and the cause of the incident was Zhou Zhigang.
After Liu Moli was shot for killing Zhou Daniu, her daughter, Xiaoxue, was given to her godmother, Widow He, to raise. Initially, the village chief, Zhou Hongming, believed Xiaoxue was his child and took good care of Widow He and Xiaoxue.
As time went by, the five- or six-year-old Xiaoxue grew more and more like Zhou Zhigang. Zhou Hongming learned that Zhou Zhigang and Liu Moli were also having an affair, and only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Liu Moli. Xiaoxue was not his, Zhou Hongming's, child, as Liu Moli claimed, but Zhou Zhigang's.
In fact, Liu Moli, Zhou Hongming, and Zhou Zhigang were so confused back then that even when she was pregnant, Liu Moli couldn't figure out who the "goodies" were. Zhou Hongming was rich and stupid, and was easier to deceive than Zhou Zhigang, which is why Xiaoxue fell on Zhou Hongming's head.
Zhou Hongming was almost mad at himself. Although Liu Moli was dead, Zhou Hongming always thought that Liu Moli loved him and took good care of Xiaoxue, his "daughter". Unexpectedly, Liu Moli, this cheap bitch, actually gave birth to a daughter with Zhou Zhigang.
Zhou Hongming was the village chief of Zhoujia Village. Whenever he got angry, Zhou Zhigang suffered. Zhou Hongming decided that the village would no longer pay for Xiaoxue's child support, and that this cost would be borne by Zhou Zhigang.
Zhou Hongming's decision was supported by the vast majority of the villagers. Just looking at Xiaoxue and Zhou Zhigang's identical faces, how could the villagers not understand what was going on?
If Xiaoxue is really Zhou Daniu's daughter, and Zhou Daniu is already dead, the villagers wouldn't mind doing a good deed and contributing some food every year to feed Xiaoxue. But Xiaoxue is clearly Zhou Zhigang's child, and Zhou Zhigang is still alive and well. Why should they contribute food to help Zhou Zhigang raise his daughter?
Widow He was stunned by Zhou Hongming's order.
When the village initially asked her to raise Xiaoxue, Widow He was reluctant. Later, because the village provided food and money, Widow He reluctantly took Xiaoxue in. Now, Widow He has raised Xiaoxue with great care until she is six years old, and she has developed a certain affection for her. But if the village doesn't provide food and money every year, won't she be expected to pay to support Xiaoxue?
Widow He would definitely not suffer such a loss.
Widow He took Xiaoxue to Zhou Chunping's house, saying that she wanted Xiaoxue to return to her ancestral home.
Zhou Chunping definitely couldn't agree. If Zhou Zhigang recognized Xiaoxue, their family's reputation would be in tatters. Zhou Zhigang was still relatively young, and Zhou Chunping was still thinking about letting his son marry again! If Xiaoxue returned to the Zhou family, Zhou Zhigang would be single for the rest of his life!
Zhou Zhigang disagreed. He was a grown man, living so carefree all day, even eating at Wu Jinfeng's place. How could he take care of a six-year-old? Besides, Zhou Zhigang didn't make much money now, and if he had to support another person, he wouldn't have enough for his daily drink.
Not to mention Wu Jinfeng. In her heart, she was the most important person. After she adopted Xiaoxue, wouldn't the responsibility of raising the child fall on her? Wu Jinfeng would definitely not agree.
The Zhou family was unwilling to take Xiaoxue in, and Widow He was unwilling to keep Xiaoxue with her. So, Widow He and Wu Jinfeng had many arguments over a child.
Later, Zhou Chunping came up with a compromise: he would pay for the food and money that the village committee had given Widow He to raise Xiaoxue, and Xiaoxue would continue to be raised by Widow He. Fortunately, Zhou Chunping had a monthly pension of several dozen yuan, otherwise, Zhou Chunping really couldn't afford Xiaoxue's support.
Seeing that there was money to be made and that she also had feelings for Xiaoxue, Widow He agreed to Zhou Chunping's proposal.
Because of the issue of child support, Widow He and Zhou Chunping had more contact. No one knew when it started, but Zhou Chunping and Widow He fell in love and started dating.
Everyone in the village knew about the affair between Widow He and Zhou Chunping, but Wu Jinfeng was kept in the dark until two days ago when she overheard a few gossipy women in the village chatting and realized that her old man had actually "cheated"?
Wu Jinfeng was not someone to be trifled with either. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Widow He came to ask for money today, she started a quarrel with Zhou Chunping.
Kyoto City, Wen Yiran's home.
The Wen family was bustling with activity today. Wen Yiran, who hadn't been home for dinner in a while, had called Feng Xueying that afternoon to say he wanted to be home for dinner that evening and asked her to call back his two sons, Wen Yulong and Wen Yulun.
Feng Xueying happily went out to buy groceries herself. She remembered that Wen Yiran liked to eat pork knuckles with sand ginger, her eldest son Wen Yulong liked to eat braised pork ribs, and her third son Wen Yulun liked to eat pan-fried small yellow croaker. As for her second son Wen Yuxiang and his family, they were not in Kyoto anyway, so Feng Xueying didn't need to worry about them.
After picking and choosing for most of the day, Feng Xueying finally bought the dishes that the whole family liked. Feng Xueying was not unaware of Wen Yiran's indifference over the past two years, but she was just thinking about the old couple. Wen Yiran was not the kind of person without family values, so she didn't take Wen Yiran's indifference to heart.
Seeing that Wen Yiran wanted to repair the relationship between husband and wife, Feng Xueying must be happy.
It was not even six o'clock when Wen Yiran came back. As usual, after getting off the car, he went straight to the living room.
Wen Yulong and Wen Yulun were already waiting in the living room. Wen Yiran had instructed his two sons to come home no matter how busy they were. Wen Ziyun and Wen Ziqiu were students at Chaoyang Middle School, which required high school students to live on campus. The siblings were nowhere to be seen in the living room.
Wen Yulun is still the director of the Chaoyang Municipal Education Bureau, but Wen Yiran recently heard that Wen Yulun has outstanding performance at work and his position may be moved up after the New Year.
Looking at Wen Yulun, the son he once had the most doubts about, a gratified smile crossed Wen Yiran's face. Wen Yulun had been a lazy young man, but as he aged, he had become more stable and composed, no longer needing his father to worry about anything he did. On the other hand, his eldest son, Wen Yulong, whom he had always placed high hopes on, had become increasingly impatient in recent years, not at all the composed and steady he had expected.
"dad!"
"dad!"
Wen Yulong and Wen Yulun noticed Wen Yiran at the same time, and hurriedly stood up from the sofa and called out.
"Yulun, where are Xiaoru and Jingjing? Aren't they back yet?" Wen Yiran took a look and immediately found that his third daughter-in-law Zhu Xiaoru was not in the living room. Even Wen Yulun's six-year-old daughter Wen Jing was not there.
"Dad, Xiaoru has surgery tonight, scheduled a week ago. The eldest son of the Zhu family can't wait any longer. Jingjing had a cough the past two days, and the doctor said it was a viral cold. I was afraid she might infect others, so I didn't bring her." Wen Yulun explained with his head lowered. The eldest son of the Zhu family is Zhu Xiangyang, and the Zhu family's status is higher than the Wen family's. Zhu Xiaoru really can't refuse. However, Wen Yulun knows that even if he can refuse, Zhu Xiaoru will not be willing to return to the old house.
