After returning to the Zhao family, Zhou Bingchen told Zhao Zhenzhu that after Zhou Jiakai finished school in the afternoon, the four of them would go back to Zhoujia Village together for a few days.
“You go back by yourself! We’re not going,” Zhao Zhenzhu refused.
Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't be bothered to see the Zhou family's despicable faces; her hair tie business was too busy!
Isn't making money better? Why go back to Zhoujiacun and cause internal strife?
"Pearl, why don't you and your daughters come back with me for a few days? Just three days. After three days, I'll go back to your parents' home with you, okay?" There was a hint of pleading in Zhou Bingchen's eyes.
After Zhou Bingchen left this time, it's unclear when he will be able to return.
After having those two somewhat "unbelievable" dreams, Zhou Bingchen became suspicious of the Zhou family.
Zhou Bingchen was eager to unravel two mysteries in his heart: First, was Zhou Bingqiang really having an affair with Widow Liu? Second, was he the biological son of Zhou Fugui and Ding Ermei?
To unravel the mystery, we must return to Zhoujia Village.
“I’ve had enough of your mother’s unreasonable behavior. I’m afraid that if I go back, she will take the opportunity to throw another tantrum. I don’t want to waste my time and energy,” Zhao Zhenzhu coldly refused.
"Pearl, I have something very important to do. Can you come back with me for a few days?" Zhou Bingchen pleaded.
If Wu Meiyun hadn't been there, Zhou Bingchen would have loved to tell Zhao Zhenzhu what he was going to do when he returned to Zhoujia Village.
In front of Wu Meiyun, Zhou Bingchen dared not say that he suspected he wasn't Zhou Fugui's biological son because of a dream. He was afraid Wu Meiyun would think he had lost his mind.
“No, I have my own things to do,” Zhao Zhenzhu said coldly again.
Zhao Zhenzhu agreed to postpone the divorce, not out of love, but as a result of weighing the pros and cons.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want to be like she was in her previous life, willing to do anything for Zhou Bingchen despite her own shortcomings.
Whenever Zhao Zhenzhu sees Ding Ermei and Zhou Fugui, she is reminded of the hatred from her past life.
In her previous life, Zhao Zhenzhu had already avenged the Zhou family before her death.
In this lifetime, Zhao Zhenzhu only wanted to stay far away from the Zhou family.
"Pearl, you and Bingchen go back to Zhoujia Village for a few days. Yunyun and Jiakai can stay in town," Wu Meiyun said, unable to bear it any longer.
Zhao Zhenzhu and Zhou Bingchen were not divorced; she was Zhou's daughter-in-law.
Since Zhou Bingchen rarely comes home, Zhao Zhenzhu will definitely stand by him through thick and thin.
Originally, Zhou Bingchen should have gone back to Zhoujia Village to visit his parents after getting off the bus yesterday, instead of coming to the Zhao family first.
If Zhou Bingchen doesn't return to Zhoujia Village today, Wu Meiyun doesn't know whether Zhou Fugui and Ding Ermei will scold him, but she will definitely scold Zhao Zhenzhu for instigating Zhou Bingchen to be unfilial to his parents.
Although Wu Meiyun wasn't afraid of Zhou Fugui and his group, she still thought it was better to avoid trouble. For the sake of Zhao Zhenzhu's reputation, Zhao Zhenzhu had to accompany Zhou Bingchen home this time.
"Mom, I still have a lot of things to do! You've seen it yourself, Granny Hua and the others come to collect materials every day. Besides, you're not in good health, and Yunyun is naughty; it'll just tire you out." Zhao Zhenzhu was still unwilling.
“It’s your dad taking care of her, not me. How tired can I be?” Wu Meiyun glared at Zhao Zhenzhu and said, “Just tell me about the materials you need, and I’ll do it for you. If you’re worried, go back to Zhoujia Village with Bingchen tonight and come back during the day.”
“Mom, how could I not trust you to do things? I’m just afraid that I’ll end up arguing with Zhou Bingchen’s mother again when I get back,” Zhao Zhenzhu muttered.
"Can't you just bear with it? Bingchen can only stay at home for five or six days this time. Five or six days is enough. Just bear with it and it will pass." Wu Meiyun poked Zhao Zhenzhu's forehead in annoyance.
Wu Meiyun was anxious!
How could her silly daughter speak ill of her mother in front of Zhou Bingchen?
Isn't this pushing Zhou Bingchen out?
"Mom, I can't take it anymore. If I keep going, I'm afraid I'll explode." Zhao Zhenzhu turned her body away, clearly not wanting to listen to Wu Meiyun's nagging.
“Bingchen! Pearl has a bad temper, please be more tolerant of her. However, your mother really went too far last time. She said on the street that Pearl went back to her parents’ home to cheat on her husband. Pearl was really angry and argued with her.” Wu Meiyun said to Zhou Bingchen with an embarrassed look.
On the surface, Wu Meiyun was saying that Zhao Zhenzhu was wrong.
In fact, Wu Meiyun was expressing her dissatisfaction with Ding Ermei.
“Mom, what happened last time was your fault. I called home a few days ago and asked Dad to keep an eye on Mom. This time, I will talk to Mom myself and tell her to behave herself and stop bullying Pearl just because she has a good temper,” Zhou Bingchen said seriously.
Zhou Bingchen wasn't stupid. He understood what Wu Meiyun meant by those words; she wanted him to express his opinion on Ding Ermei's slander of Zhao Zhenzhu.
Whether Zhao Zhenzhu can go back with him depends entirely on Wu Meiyun.
“Pearl, did you hear that? Bingchen understands your suffering! Listen to your mother, quickly pack your things and come home with Bingchen. Don’t worry about Yunyun and Jiakai staying here.” Wu Meiyun said, while winking at Zhao Pearl, trying to get Zhao Pearl to come down to her feet.
"Zhou Bingchen, let me make this clear from the start: if your family bullies me when I go back this time, I won't tolerate it. If things get chaotic, don't complain." Zhao Zhenzhu had no choice but to relent.
"What are you saying, child? Everything has its own time!" Wu Meiyun said with a forced smile.
Wu Meiyun was really worried to death.
Pearl's temper has really gotten out of hand lately. How could she speak ill of his family in front of Zhou Bingchen?
"Mom, don't worry, I won't let anyone bully Pearl," Zhou Bingchen hurriedly assured Wu Meiyun.
Urged by Wu Meiyun, Zhao Zhenzhu packed a few changes of clothes after lunch and went back to Zhoujia Village with Zhou Bingchen.
Zhoujia Village, Zhoujia.
Around 10 a.m., Zhou Fugui entered the room and kicked the door to Zhou Bingchen and Zhao Zhenzhu's room.
A large footprint appeared on the door.
Zhou Fugui is so arrogant!
Zhou Meimei said on the phone that Zhou Bingchen arrived in the county town yesterday afternoon and was with Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhao Zhenzhu bullied Zhou Meimei, and Zhou Bingchen even spoke up for Zhao Zhenzhu.
Ungrateful wretch! What an ungrateful wretch!
Most importantly, Zhou Bingchen arrived in the county town yesterday afternoon, and judging by the time, he should have arrived home last night.
And what's the result? Zhou Bingchen is still nowhere to be seen.
Zhou Bingchen must have run off to the Zhao family with Zhao Zhenzhu. Does he still care about this family? Does he still care about his elders?
Hearing the commotion, Ding Ermei quickly came out to see what was going on.
Seeing Zhou Fugui looking so angry, Ding Ermei asked, "Old man, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Look at the good son you raised. I worked so hard to earn money and raise him, but he only cares about his wife's family. Does he even respect me as his father?" Zhou Fugui finally had a place to vent his anger and started yelling at Ding Ermei.
