Looking at the scene before him, Zhou Bingchen felt it was somewhat surreal.
Zhou Bingchen had only been in Qingshan County for a short time.
After Zhou Bingchen got off the bus, he discovered that the bus to Peach Blossom Town wouldn't leave until 3:30 PM.
When Zhao Zhenzhu said she wanted a divorce on the phone last time, her tone was very firm, which made Zhou Bingchen feel somewhat apprehensive.
Zhou Bingchen was afraid that Zhao Zhenzhu would really abandon him.
Only other women can understand a woman's thoughts.
The cotton mill wasn't far from the bus station, and Zhou Bingchen planned to visit his younger sister, Zhou Meimei, there to find out if anything major had happened at home recently. He also wanted to learn from Zhou Meimei how to win Zhao Zhenzhu back.
Zhou Bingchen arrived at a very opportune time, just as Zhou Meimei was sitting on the ground cursing Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhou Bingchen was stunned.
In Zhou Bingchen's memory, his younger sister Zhou Meimei had always been a sweet-talking and kind person.
Every time Zhou Bingchen returned home to visit his family, Zhou Meimei would bring her husband and children to visit him at her parents' home. Each time, Zhou Meimei would shower Zhou Bingchen with concern and sweetly call Zhao Zhenzhu "Third Sister-in-law".
Zhou Bingchen never knew that, behind his back, Zhou Meimei would use so many foul words to curse Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhou Bingchen wondered if he was dreaming.
What surprised Zhou Bingchen even more was that Zhao Zhenzhu actually hit Zhou Meimei.
His daughter, Pearl, used to speak softly and gently, and she never even argued. She's never shown such a fierce side before.
Zhao Zhenzhu looked up at Zhou Bingchen, her face cold, and said nothing.
This was the first time Zhao Zhenzhu had ever seen Zhou Bingchen, and she was filled with irritation.
Anger, resentment, bitterness... all mixed together.
"Pearl." Zhou Bingchen hurriedly took a few steps forward and called out again.
"What?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked in a rough voice.
“Pearl, I’m sorry. Meimei is so insensible. I didn’t know she treated you like that. I’ll have her apologize to you later,” Zhou Bingchen said.
"Hmph!" Zhao Zhenzhu turned her face away.
Zhou Bingchen wants Zhou Meimei to apologize to her? He's really arrogant.
Before Zhou Meimei got married, she was deeply loved by Zhou Fugui and his wife.
Several of Zhou Meimei's sisters-in-law, including Zhao Zhenzhu, had to put up with her pickiness.
"Third Brother, is that you, Third Brother?" Zhou Meimei saw Zhou Bingchen and quickly got up from the ground.
Zhou Bingchen is not wearing his military uniform today.
If Zhou Bingchen hadn't called out to Zhao Zhenzhu, Zhou Meimei wouldn't have noticed that Zhou Bingchen was there.
Zhou Bingchen glanced at Zhou Meimei, but before he could say anything, Zhou Meimei grabbed his arm.
"Third Brother, did you see that? Zhao Zhenzhu, whom you insisted on marrying, actually dared to hit me. You should divorce her immediately. Our Zhou family can't afford such a treacherous and domineering woman," Zhou Meimei chattered on.
“Meimei, I saw everything that just happened. You slandered your sister-in-law. Apologize to her right now,” Zhou Bingchen said sternly.
"Third Brother?" Zhou Meimei was astonished.
"Apologize right now, or don't call me Third Brother anymore," Zhou Bingchen said sternly.
"Zhou Bingchen, do you think I care so much about being your sister? I'm going to tell Mom and Dad that you're helping Zhao Zhenzhu bully me!" Zhou Meimei screamed.
Zhou Meimei was furious.
What's so good about Zhao Zhenzhu? Why are all these people helping her?
"Are you going to apologize or not? If you don't, I'm going to your superiors right now. Defaming military family members is a crime punishable by imprisonment," Zhou Bingchen said stubbornly.
Zhou Bingchen is usually very easy to talk to. Whatever Zhou Meimei wants, as long as Zhou Bingchen has money in his pocket, he will buy it for her.
However, Zhou Bingchen cannot tolerate Zhou Meimei's casual slander of Zhao Zhenzhu's conduct.
How important a woman's reputation is!
How could Zhou Meimei openly tarnish Zhao Zhenzhu's reputation?
"You dare? Aren't you afraid your parents won't acknowledge you as their son?" Zhou Meimei's eyes were full of disbelief.
For Zhao Zhenzhu's sake, Zhou Bingchen actually wants to send her to jail?
“If you don’t apologize, I dare to do it.” Zhou Bingchen nodded slowly.
Looking into Zhou Bingchen's dark eyes, Zhou Meimei dared not gamble.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Meimei bowed to Zhao Zhenzhu, then covered her mouth and left.
Zhou Meimei felt very wronged.
She covered her mouth because she was afraid she would cry out loud.
Zhao Zhenzhu's expression softened slightly.
Zhao Zhenzhu originally thought that Zhou Bingchen would indiscriminately advise her to be "magnanimous" and not to hold a grudge against Zhou Meimei.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingchen actually forced Zhou Meimei to apologize to him today.
"Brother-in-law, let's go to the state-run restaurant for dinner, shall we go together?" He Bo said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.
Every time Zhou Bingchen returned home to visit his family, he would take the children to stay at Zhao's house for a day or two.
He Bo lived not far from Zhao Zhenzhu, so He had known Zhou Bingchen for a long time.
“You are…” Zhou Bingchen did not recognize He Bo.
“I’m He Bo, the grandson of Granny Hua, the Granny Hua who often sells fried dough sticks on the street. Brother-in-law, you might not remember, but when you and my sister got married, I came to the Zhao family’s house for the banquet with my grandma,” He Bo said with a grin.
"Oh, it's Xiao Bo! You've grown up so much, I almost didn't recognize you. Come on, brother-in-law's treating, let's go to the state-run restaurant together," Zhou Bingchen said with a smile.
Zhao Zhenzhu kept a cold expression on her face.
Zhou Bingchen was afraid that if he spoke a few words to Zhao Zhenzhu alone, she would bring up the word "divorce" again.
It would be better to go with He Bo and the others.
With so many people around, Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't very well announce her divorce in front of outsiders.
"Who needs your payment? We have our own money." Zhao Zhenzhu rolled her eyes.
