The Zhao family.
Zhao Qingshan and Wu Meiyun looked at the furniture filling the yard, somewhat bewildered.
"Pearl, what are you doing? Are you really not going to live with Bingchen anymore? You child, how could you do something so important without saying a word?" Wu Meiyun asked anxiously.
In those days, a woman would only move her dowry back to her parents' home after a divorce.
Wu Meiyun just took a look and saw that the furniture in the yard was the dowry that Zhao Zhenzhu's family gave her when she got married.
"Pearl, tell me what happened quickly, don't make your mother and me worry," Zhao Qingshan said.
“Mom and Dad, Bingchen and I are not divorced. The reason we moved all these things here is that we want to buy a house in town,” Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
Neither Zhou Bingchen nor Zhao Zhenzhu are people who like to procrastinate.
Having made up his mind not to stay at the Zhou family's house anymore, Zhou Bingchen went to town as soon as Zhoujia Village was unsealed and found a comrade-in-arms who drove a truck at a factory.
My comrade happens to be free today.
As soon as Zhou Bingchen spoke, his comrades got into the truck and followed him to Zhoujia Village, where they moved all the furniture in the house to Zhao Qingshan's house.
When his comrade was about to return the car to his unit, Zhou Bingchen hurriedly followed.
Since they've been working so hard, Zhou Bingchen couldn't let them work for nothing. He needed to treat his comrades to a meal at the state-run restaurant later.
"You naughty girl, why didn't you say anything before? You made me worry for so long." Wu Meiyun rolled her eyes at Zhao Zhenzhu in annoyance.
Just now, when Zhou Bingchen and his comrades were moving things home, Wu Meiyun opened her mouth several times as if to ask a question, but in the end, she didn't ask because there were outsiders present.
"Pearl, why did you decide to move to town?" Zhao Qingshan asked.
Zhao Qingshan is not as easily fooled as Wu Meiyun.
If you were going to move, why didn't you move a few years ago?
This year, Zhao Zhenzhu had several unpleasant encounters with Ding Ermei.
Zhao Qingshan suspects that Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhou Bingchen were kicked out by Zhou Fugui and his wife.
“Dad, Mom, I forgot to tell you, we separated our households yesterday,” Zhao Zhenzhu said.
"Dividing the family property? How will it be divided? Your in-laws won't even give you a room, will they?" Wu Meiyun asked anxiously.
In Peach Blossom Town, if you don't receive any of your parents' property when the family divides their assets, you'll be laughed at.
This shows that the son is not valued by his parents.
"Mom and Dad, this is the family division document. Take a look at it yourselves!" Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want to waste her breath and directly took out the family division document and handed it to Zhao Qingshan.
Zhao Qingshan and Wu Meiyun hurriedly started reading.
When Wu Meiyun saw that it said Zhou Bingchen and Zhou Bingxing were assigned to the same room, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although the terms of this document were not very favorable to the second and third wives, at least on the surface, the second and third wives received the same amount of property. This division of the Zhou family's assets can be considered quite conventional.
"Pearl, you've been assigned a room. Don't your in-laws have any objections to you moving out?" Zhao Qingshan asked.
“Mom and Dad, Bingchen…” Zhao Zhenzhu leaned close to Zhao Qingshan and whispered, “Bingchen is probably not Zhou Fugui and Ding Ermei’s biological son.”
"What?" Zhao Qingshan was shocked.
“Dad, Bingchen is thirty this year. I want to go ask Uncle Tao tonight if Bingchen might be…” Zhao Zhenzhu stopped there and just winked at Zhao Qingshan.
"Hiss~!" Zhao Qingshan gasped.
Zhao Qingshan understood the meaning behind Zhao Zhenzhu's words, but he couldn't believe it.
Is Zhou Bingchen Zhou Jin's grandson?
If Zhou Bingchen is indeed Zhou Jin's grandson, why have Zhou Fugui and his wife kept his adopted status a secret? Could it be that Zhou Fugui and his wife are connected to spies?
Upon realizing this, Zhao Qingshan was startled.
If that's the case, it would actually be a good thing if Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhou Bingchen moved out sooner rather than later.
"Mom and Dad, Bingchen..." Zhao Zhenzhu was about to tell him about Zhou Bingchen's dream that Zhou Fugui and Tian Shanhua were both spies when there was a knock on the Zhou family's door.
"Dad, let's talk about some things with Uncle Tao tonight!" Zhao Zhenzhu said as she went to open the door.
The visitor was Zhou Bingxing.
Zhou Bingxing looked panicked. Seeing Zhao Zhenzhu standing by the door and not letting him pass, Zhou Bingxing tiptoed and peered inside, asking, "Third sister-in-law, is my uncle in-laws home? I have something urgent to discuss with him."
"Bingxing, what is it?" Zhao Qingshan spoke up before Zhao Zhenzhu could answer.
"Uncle, please help me go to the police station to retrieve Xiao Cui's body! I beg you!" Zhou Bingxing knelt down before Zhao Qingshan with a thud as soon as he entered the room.
"Bingxing, what are you doing? Get up and talk this out." Zhao Qingshan frowned.
Zhao Qingshan disliked Zhou Bingxing's approach.
If he kneels down before even discussing the matter, and then can't help with it, should he return the "kneeling" to Zhou Bingxing?
“Uncle in-laws, Xiao Cui…” Zhou Bingxing had no choice but to stand up and recount the whole story in detail.
After saying this, Zhou Bingxing said sadly, "Uncle, please go and plead with Chief Jin! Tell him my mother doesn't understand the law and that's why she made a mistake. And Xiao Cui, she's waiting to come home!"
“Zhou Bingxing, I can’t help you with this. Your mother-in-law is an adult; she should be responsible for what she did. You should wait for the police station’s results. As for Ding Xiaocui’s body, just go to Chief Jin to retrieve it; there’s no need to plead for her.” Zhao Qingshan refused.
Ding Ermei caused trouble at the police station in public, and even if Chief Jin wanted to "make an example of her," he wouldn't easily release her.
Knowing that something is impossible, Zhao Qingshan would never trouble his old friend.
As for Ding Xiaocui's body, as long as the family goes to claim it, Director Jin certainly won't hold it back.
Zhao Qingshan couldn't understand why Zhou Bingxing wanted him to go to Director Jin when it was something that could have been done through proper procedures.
“Uncle, how can you be so heartless? My mother said that if you hadn’t refused to help take care of Jiaxiang and Hongyu, Xiaocui might not have died. Now that Xiaocui is dead, doesn’t your conscience hurt?” Zhou Bingxing was angry.
For some reason, Zhou Bingxing had been feeling very unwell since last night.
An indescribable feeling of discomfort.
This discomfort put Zhou Bingxing in a very bad mood. When Zhao Qingshan refused to help, Zhou Bingxing exploded.
"Ding Xiaocui's death is due to the indifference of your family members, it has nothing to do with my father. Get out of here, or I'll make things difficult for you," Zhao Zhenzhu said coldly, pointing to the front door.
Zhao Zhenzhu thought Zhou Bingxing was simply a lunatic.
Why did you go to the Zhao family and spout such nonsense? Do you think the Zhao family is easy to bully or what?
"You filthy woman, you're asking for it!" Zhou Bingxing raised his fist and punched Zhao Zhenzhu.
Before Zhou Bingxing's fist could land, Zhao Zhenzhu kicked him out the door.
Zhao Zhenzhu hates violence.
However, seeing Zhou Bingxing lying on the ground for a long time without being able to get up, Zhao Zhenzhu felt inexplicably pleased.
