On the other end of the phone, Zhou Bingchen slowly put down the phone.
Zhao Zhenzhu's words made Zhou Bingchen reflect on himself.
Only then did he realize that he had made many mistakes.
In the past, Zhou Bingchen only thought that family harmony was the foundation of everything.
Ding Ermei is a troublemaker and likes to make a fuss. Subconsciously, Zhou Bingchen always has to watch Ding Ermei's expression no matter what he does, because he's afraid that Ding Ermei's fuss will annoy him.
Zhao Zhenzhu wouldn't make a fuss. No matter what Zhou Bingchen did, even if Zhao Zhenzhu was unhappy inside, she would never say anything.
When Ding Ermei and Zhao Zhenzhu first clashed over the allowance, Zhou Bingchen, fearing trouble, instinctively told Zhao Zhenzhu to back down.
Why was Zhao Zhenzhu willing to back down? Wasn't it because she had feelings for Zhou Bingchen and was afraid of putting him in a difficult position?
Later, Zhou Bingchen secretly saved money.
To prevent word from leaking out and Ding Ermei from causing trouble again, Zhou Bingchen didn't even tell Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhou Bingchen felt he had been too arrogant.
Taking advantage of Zhao Zhenzhu's affection for him, he felt that whatever he did was for the good of their little family, and he could do it himself without having to tell Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhou Bingchen never imagined that his actions would make Zhao Zhenzhu feel so uncertain.
Zhao Zhenzhu was tired and saw no hope for their future, which is why she had the idea of divorcing him.
Marriage is not just a piece of paper; it requires mutual trust between both parties to maintain.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bingchen couldn't help but raise his hand and slap himself.
He's such a bastard!
For so many years, all the trouble has been pushed onto Pearl.
"Battalion Commander Zhou, are you alright?" Dr. Wang, who had just entered the office, was startled by Zhou Bingchen's actions and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing," Zhou Bingchen said dejectedly.
Zhou Bingchen said he was fine, but he was very anxious inside.
Zhou Bingchen knew that Zhao Zhenzhu's threat to divorce him this time was not just a bluff.
If Zheng Shengli hadn't mentioned that his superiors would be discussing the mission with him in the next few days, Zhou Bingchen would have loved to go home immediately.
Zhou Bingchen doesn't want a divorce; he wants to have a serious talk with Zhenzhu. He'd do it even if it meant kneeling down and begging for forgiveness.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't care what Zhou Bingchen thought. In any case, she was determined to get a divorce.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhenzhu strolled home.
Today is Zhou Jiakai's first day of school, a wonderful day.
Zhao Qingshan and his wife took Zhou Yunyun to send Zhou Jiakai to school.
Zhao Zhenzhu was originally going too, but was delayed by Zhou Bingchen's phone call.
From afar, Zhao Zhenzhu saw a person loitering in front of her house. The person looked familiar. This person… could he be Granny Hua's grandson?
“He… Xiaobo?” Zhao Zhenzhu walked closer and saw that it was indeed him.
For some reason, Zhao Zhenzhu was unwilling to call He Bo by his full name.
Whenever Zhao Zhenzhu heard the name "He Bo," she was reminded of a certain arrogant and unruly gangster who was executed in her previous life.
The current He Bo has a youthful and shy look on his face, and he is nothing like the "He Bo" that Zhao Zhenzhu remembered from her previous life.
“Sister Pearl.” He Bo looked up and looked a little flustered.
"Did you come to see me? That watch... don't you like it?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.
Grandma Hua bought a watch from Zhao Zhenzhu yesterday, and Zhao Zhenzhu thought He Bo had come to return it.
"No, Sister Pearl, can I go in and talk?" He Bo asked.
"Excuse me, please come in." Zhao Zhenzhu hurriedly opened the door.
Zhao Zhenzhu had just had a fight with Zhou Bingchen, and her head was still a little dizzy the whole way. She had only just come to her senses.
After entering the room, He Bo sat for half a minute before mustering the courage to ask, "Sister Pearl, I heard from my grandmother that you have a Shanghai brand men's watch, is that right? Can you sell it to me?"
“Okay.” Zhao Zhenzhu went back into the house, took out a watch, handed it to He Bo, and said, “One hundred and eighty yuan a watch, no ticket required.”
"Sister Pearl, I... I don't have enough money right now, could I... could I..." He Bo said, his face turning so red it was almost bleeding.
"You want to buy on credit?" Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but ask.
“No, I want to pawn this Plum Blossom brand watch to you first, then take the men’s watch. After I sell the men’s watch, I’ll redeem the Plum Blossom watch,” He Bo said.
Now that things are out in the open, He Bo has no intention of hiding anything anymore.
He bought the men's watch not to wear himself, but to make money.
"Do you have a way to sell them?" Zhao Zhenzhu perked up immediately upon hearing this.
Zhao Zhenzhu was thinking of selling some goods, but she couldn't leave her family behind and couldn't go far.
Zhao Zhenzhu had also considered asking her younger brother, Zhao Tianyu, for help. However, Zhao Tianyu and Liang Xiaohe had recently had a rather strained relationship.
In addition, Zhao Tianyu was quite busy with work, so Zhao Zhenzhu thought about it and temporarily gave up the idea of getting her younger brother to "join the group".
Unexpectedly, He Bo came to us himself.
If He Bo has connections, Zhao Zhenzhu wouldn't mind cooperating with him.
In the past six months or so, the authorities have stopped cracking down on speculation and profiteering, and the market has begun to become more active.
If He Bo can make money through business, he probably won't become a gang leader again in his life, right?
“Sister Pearl, I know a few people in the county town. They said several of them want to buy watches recently, but unfortunately they don’t have the vouchers. I figured I’m just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so it would be good to earn a few dollars,” He Bo said shyly.
"Xiao Bo! I have some watches here. If you think this business is safe, I support you in doing it. I can give you credit at first. You can pay me back when you receive payment for the goods," Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
Zhao Zhenzhu thought He Bo had a good business sense.
Upon hearing from Granny Hua that Zhao Zhenzhu still had a watch, she came to their door.
If He Bo's character and abilities pass Zhao Zhenzhu's test, Zhao Zhenzhu wouldn't mind nurturing He Bo.
Zhao Zhenzhu never hoards business profits.
Back then, Zhao Zhenzhu's partners all made a fortune.
"Really? Thank you, Sister Pearl." He Bo's eyes lit up.
Last time, a friend in the county town asked He Bo to keep an eye out for any available stock: Shanghai brand watches that could sell for 200 yuan each without a receipt.
He Bo originally thought that he could take the watch from Zhao Zhenzhu and resell it for a profit of twenty yuan.
I didn't expect Zhao Zhenzhu to still have stock.
This was like an overwhelming windfall, suddenly showered upon He Bo.
If He Bo hadn't seen so much of the world and had enough self-control, he would have jumped for joy right now.
"Don't get too excited yet. I have a few requirements that you must meet. Otherwise, I won't cooperate with you," Zhao Zhenzhu said.
“Sister Pearl, what is it?” He Bo sat up straight.
“First, you can’t tell anyone that the goods came from me. Anyway, no matter what you say, I won’t admit it.” Zhao Zhenzhu said while carefully observing the expression on He Bo’s face.
“I understand, Sister Pearl, I will keep it a secret. I won’t tell anyone who asks.” He Bo nodded, his eyes resolute.
