"Pearl, Pearl." Zhou Bingchen's call startled Zhao Zhenzhu from her reverie.
"Huh? What is it?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked, snapping out of her daze.
"Grandpa asked you, what do you think about letting Jiakai and Yunyun stay in Beijing to study in the future?" Zhou Bingchen reminded you.
“Pearl, Beijing’s education system is among the best in the country. Studying in Beijing will be beneficial for the children in the future.” Zhou Jin looked at Zhao Zhenzhu with expectant eyes.
Zhou Jin hopes that Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun can stay in Beijing.
In that case, Zhao Zhenzhu will definitely stay in Beijing for the sake of her child.
As for Zhou Bingchen, it would be difficult for him not to return to Beijing in two or three years, for the sake of his wife and children.
Hehehe... that's how clever he is.
Zhao Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Grandpa, please let me think about it and give you an answer in a couple of days, okay?"
"Okay... alright!" Zhou Jin agreed, though she wasn't satisfied.
Before going to bed that night, Zhou Bingchen asked Zhao Zhenzhu, "Zhenzhu, Beijing's educational resources are indeed among the best in the country. Grandpa wants the children to stay in Beijing for school, why don't you agree?"
Zhao Zhenzhu remained silent.
Zhou Bingchen then said, "I know, you definitely can't bear to part with me, right?"
Zhao Zhenzhu remained silent.
"Pearl, please agree to Grandpa's request! I'm fine. Later... when I have time, I'll go back to Beijing to visit my relatives," Zhou Bingchen said through gritted teeth.
Zhou Bingchen certainly hoped to live a life of comfort with his wife and children, but his grandfather was right; the children's education was the most important thing.
Previously, there were no such conditions, so Jiakai and Yunyun could only live with Pearl in Peach Blossom Town.
Now, for the sake of Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun's future, Zhou Bingchen is willing to suffer a little himself.
“Zhou Bingchen, I will let Jiakai study in Beijing. As for Yunyun, she is still young, and I want her to stay with me for the time being,” Zhao Zhenzhu finally spoke.
“That works too. You and Yunyun can go to Guangzhou to join the army. Jiakai is a boy, so it will be good for him to be independent from a young age.” Zhou Bingchen thought Zhao Zhenzhu was reluctant to leave him, and he was in a good mood.
“Zhou Bingchen, Yunyun and I may not go to Guangzhou. In the next few years, taking advantage of the favorable policies, I want to develop my own business. I want to earn more money and try to retire as soon as possible,” Zhao Zhenzhu said.
Just a few days ago, the government released a policy that included the phrase "vigorously develop the economy."
Zhao Zhenzhu knew that her opportunity had arrived.
Over the next decade or so, as long as you are willing to think hard, work hard, and not afraid of hardship, the rewards will be enormous.
“Pearl, you don’t need to work too hard. I’m a man, and it’s my job to earn money to support the family. From now on, I’ll give you all my salary. You can work if you want, or just stay home and take care of the children if you don’t want to work,” Zhou Bingchen said hurriedly.
“Zhou Bingchen, I will no longer entrust my happiness to anyone. Relying on others is unreliable; only I can truly depend on myself. In this life, I want to make money, lots and lots of money. If one day you no longer like me, I won't make a scene. I will take my money and live the life I want,” Zhao Zhenzhu said calmly.
"Again?" Zhou Bingchen had a bold guess in his mind.
Could it be that Pearl, like herself, can dream about or remember things from her past life?
"Bingchen, if I said I was reborn, would you believe me?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.
Zhou Bingchen asked cautiously, "Pearl, in my past life, I was drugged by Zhou Fugui and Zhou Dazhu and died at Widow Liu's house. You..."
Zhou Bingchen was choked by Zhao Zhenzhu's cold laugh as he finished speaking.
"You didn't die at Widow Liu's house, you died in Widow Liu's bed," Zhao Zhenzhu glanced at Zhou Bingchen and said, "After you died, Zhou Fugui confessed to your crimes and let Zhou Dazhu's family take my dowry. I struggled to survive in the Zhou family with Jiakai and Yunyun. I thought that after raising the two children, my suffering would finally end. I never expected that Jiakai would just come of age..."
Zhao Zhenzhu choked up at this point and couldn't continue.
“Jiakai had just come of age when he was instigated by Zhou Jiaxiang to kill Widow Liu…” Zhou Bingchen continued.
"Huh? Jia Kai killed Widow Liu in his past life?" Zhao Zhenzhu exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes. That year, the notorious spy Tan Shaoan transformed himself into a patriotic investor. Widow Liu and her wealthy husband accompanied Tan Shaoan to Qingshan County to find Tian Shanhua. Tian Shanhua asked Zhou Fugui to find a way to get rid of Widow Liu. Zhou Jiaxiang, acting on Zhou Fugui's orders, deliberately brought Jiakai to the county town. Zhou Jiaxiang said some provocative things to Jiakai, then took Jiakai to Widow Liu and even put a knife in Jiakai's hand. In a fit of rage, Jiakai killed Widow Liu." Zhou Bingchen was heartbroken as he recounted this.
Zhou Bingchen woke up in anger once when he dreamed about this part of the story.
The second time Zhou Bingchen dreamed of this part, he cried and begged Zhou Jiakai not to believe Zhou Jiaxiang's instigation.
Unfortunately, it was useless; it had no effect on Zhou Jiakai's fate.
When Zhou Bingchen saw Zhao Zhenzhu holding Zhou Jiaxiang's body, her hair turned white overnight, he almost woke up in anger again.
"Zhou Jiaxiang? Ha! So it was him!" A surge of anger rose in Zhao Zhenzhu's chest.
Zhao Zhenzhu doesn't know why Jiakai killed someone in his past life.
If the person who was killed was Widow Liu, then the truth will be revealed.
Tian Shanhua has always been domineering, and she would never stand by and watch Widow Liu live a good life.
It's a terrible thing that Zhou Fugui is so ruthless, making Jia Kai a murderer.
“Pearl, it’s all in the past. This life is different from the last. Zhou Fugui has been executed. He can’t hurt us anymore.” Zhou Bingchen comforted Zhao Zhenzhu, who was crying her eyes out.
“Bingchen, I still hate it so much. In my past life, although I poisoned Zhou Fugui’s whole family, I never thought of settling scores with Zhou Jiaxiang, nor with Tian Shanhua and Zhou Dazhu,” Zhao Zhenzhu said bitterly.
“Pearl, Zhou Jiaxiang’s ending in his previous life wasn’t good. I dreamt about it a couple of days ago. In the 1990s, Zhou Jiaxiang was laid off, cheated in business, and ended up with a mountain of debt. His wife ran away, his children looked down on him, and he died poor, sick, and destitute in his old age. As for Tian Shanhua and Zhou Dazhu, although I didn’t dream about their endings, I guess they wouldn’t have been good either,” Zhou Bingchen said.
"Thank God." Zhao Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
If Zhou Jiaxiang had been extremely wealthy in his previous life, Zhao Zhenzhu would definitely have been resentful for a long time.
Fortunately, God had eyes and didn't give Zhou Jiaxiang a good ending.
As for Tian Shanhua's fate, Zhao Zhenzhu had seen it.
The year after Zhou Jiakai's death, Tian Shanhua fell seriously ill. There was no cure.
Before her death, Tian Shanhua wailed for seven whole days.
Zhou Dazhu also suffered a serious illness and was bedridden for several years before dying.
It's true, good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished; it's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet.
