Chapter 13 Daydreaming
Zhou Lijuan's tone became agitated, tinged with resentment.
"What kind of mother are you? All you ever do is favor others. I just want to know why you won't give me anything that's mine!"
Her emotions became increasingly agitated.
As she spoke, she rushed into the room and headed straight for the wardrobe.
But Zhou Shufen wouldn't allow her to act recklessly.
She was burning with anger and stepped forward without hesitation to stop them.
Before she could even open the cabinet door and take out a couple more items, Zhou Shufen grabbed her wrist and pulled her aside.
In that instant, Zhou Lijuan barely realized what had happened.
"Oh my god! You're too cruel! What's wrong with me spending a little money myself?"
She staggered a few steps to regain her balance, and couldn't help but shout.
Enraged, Zhou Lijuan leaned against the wall, her eyes wide as she roared, "Do you want me to starve to death?"
Zhou Shufen gave a cold laugh, her eyes full of mockery.
She said sarcastically, "You still want me to spend money on you? Why don't you just daydream? Do you think money falls from the sky? Have you even earned any yourself?"
"I should spend money on you because I'm your daughter."
Zhou Lijuan replied with an arrogant expression.
Zhou Shufen became even more furious upon hearing this.
She retorted coldly, "Come on, what chores have you ever done around the house? You've never even lifted a bowl of water, have you? All you do is seduce men all day long. You should just find someone and get married already, it's hilarious!"
Even Zhou Lijuan, who is usually thick-skinned, couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
She never expected her mother to expose her shameful deeds in public.
Especially when it comes to the topic of "men".
Her face flushed bright red instantly, and she opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Zhou Shufen glared at her.
She then pushed her daughter away.
He reached the door, slammed it shut, and locked her out.
Zhou Haiwei, who had been standing outside the door for a while, listened to everything silently.
Zhou Haiwei, who was standing outside the door, overheard the entire argument.
He lowered his head, his expression complex.
He pushed open the door and slowly walked out.
Sunlight shone on his face. He squinted at the sky, then turned and gently closed the door.
"Mom's temper has been getting weirder and weirder these past few days, she's completely different from before. Look at her now, being so unreasonable and yelling at the drop of a hat, I'm afraid there's no hope for our family..."
Zhou Shufen kept her word and from that day on, she really didn't let the family cook anymore.
These days, Zhou Haiwei can only fill his stomach with cold steamed buns.
His stomach was rumbling loudly.
Even so, he had no intention of backing down an inch.
After all, it's for their own education and future prospects.
He really didn't want to get entangled with these women anymore.
Every minute and every second is extremely important to him.
What do you mean by that?
Zhou Lijuan glanced at him.
“What I mean is,” Zhou Haiwei paused for a moment, then slowly said, “I think that given the current situation, Mom is no longer suitable to continue managing the household.”
Zhou Haiwei's words were loaded with meaning, and his tone was suggestive.
"That sounds so mysterious, I don't understand."
Zhou Lijuan frowned, her voice clearly tinged with annoyance.
"Dad found a new lover, everyone knows that."
Zhou Haiwei lowered his voice and said.
"Since that's the case, instead of dragging it out and not making it public, why not just advise him to bring Aunt Wu into the family? Aunt Wu is gentle and polite, so much better than my mother's sharp and mean-spirited nature!"
A chilling glint flashed in Zhou Haiwei's eyes.
He had made up his mind, since his mother was unwilling to fully support his rise to prominence.
Then let's find someone else to be the head of the household.
He decided to completely change the situation!
After listening to her brother's words, Zhou Lijuan lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
She did not respond immediately, nor did she ask any further questions.
Without saying a word, he turned around and hurriedly left the room.
She even forgot to put on her shoes properly, and practically dragged her feet out of the house.
As they were leaving, they slammed the door shut with a loud "bang!"
That sound was terrifying!
Just then, Zhou Shufen, who was already dressed, was about to go out to run errands.
Because her previous position has recently become very popular, someone has already filled her vacancy.
She also hasn't reported to the factory for several days.
Let's take advantage of today to finalize and finalize this job.
As she rode her bicycle to the factory gate, she saw several familiar colleagues chatting and standing at the gate. They greeted her as she arrived.
As Zhou Shufen responded to everyone, she walked towards the office.
When she reached the door of the director's office, she stopped and gently knocked on the closed wooden door a few times.
They waited for a response from inside before pushing open the small door and peeking out to ask.
"May I come in?"
Only after receiving permission from inside did she cautiously step across the threshold.
A crowd gathered at the entrance. When the workers heard that Zhou Shufen had entered the director's office, they all came over, their faces full of curiosity.
This position is highly sought after; the benefits are good, and the work is relatively easy. Almost everyone is considering it.
It's no small matter who gets to sit in this chair.
When Zhou Shufen entered the office, the other workers crowded at the door, peeking inside.
What is she going to do?
They're definitely here for a job transfer!
Everyone was speculating about this, and there was much discussion, but no one dared to say it aloud.
Just then, the director was sitting behind his desk drinking tea.
Seeing Zhou Shufen come in, he smiled and asked, "You're here. What can I do for you?"
Zhou Shufen stood still and said calmly, "Leader, I have thought it through. I am willing to apply to transfer the position of deputy workshop director to Comrade Wu Haiyan."
The room fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
The director's hand trembled, and the teacup almost spilled.
Those who were originally waiting to hear some "insider information" were stunned, their eyes widening as if they doubted that they had heard correctly.
They kept pondering that sentence.
I still can't believe it.
"What? Director Zhou gave his position to Wu Haiyan?"
"Are you kidding me? Wasn't that position already decided by the Zhou family?"
"Has she lost her mind? How could she let an outsider take her place?"
An uproar erupted in the office, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Zhou family members, in particular, were completely taken aback.
"mom!"
A familiar voice came from the corner; it was Zhou Shufen's son.
His face flushed slightly.
"What's wrong with you? How could you hand over such a crucial position to her? Are you serious?"
“That’s right,” Zhou Shufen’s daughter couldn’t help but speak up, “She’s not related to us by blood at all, not even a relative, so why did we give her this job? What were you thinking?”
Zhou Shufen did not answer immediately.
Instead, he looked at the people around him and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Just then, a voice suddenly broke in.
"You don't know, but actually she and..."
A long-time employee who seemed to know the inside story hesitated to speak.
