Seeing his wife's heartfelt smile, Ji Bin breathed a sigh of relief. His wife had let it go, which was good. Even though the dream was gone, she still had to work hard to maintain her real life.
He picked up the small medicine bottle on the coffee table, opened it, and drank it without hesitation. The warmth that flowed through his body released the shackles in his heart. Just when he felt like his body was about to float up, he was hit on the shoulder. "Why are you smiling so meanly?"
Ji Bin looked helplessly at Zuo Heng who patted his shoulder, "Your eyes are full of jealousy."
Zuo Heng pointed at his eyes and said, "You should get glasses. My eyes are full of disgust."
The atmosphere immediately became cheerful and everyone talked about their school days until the children came back from school, and then everyone moved to the dining table.
Ji Bin, who was drunk, started singing again. It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Ling Ran asked Lu Jin to drive Ji Bin and his wife back to the county town. Li Li and Zuo Heng took their daughter back to her parents' home.
"Alas..." Zhou Xiang sighed deeply. "Seeing Ji Bin like this, I feel very sad. The dream I had 12 years ago is now just an empty fantasy. In the blink of an eye, half of my life has passed."
Ling Ran hugged his wife, "He's not done badly! He still has Zhang Ning by his side the whole time. There are gains and losses, and how can everything go as planned?"
Yes! How can everything go as planned? She lived a new life and changed the unhappiness of her previous life, but it seems that she still has many regrets in this life.
On Laba Festival, Jiang Weihua came to the town and his first stop was Zhou's house. "Think about it, the company and all its assets were sold to Zilong Company. Naturally, the office building was not sold. It was merged with your real estate agency and renamed Xiangzizi Real Estate Agency Co., Ltd., and you are the legal representative."
Zhou Xiang took the bank card he handed over and asked, "Where's Zuo Heng's dividend?"
"Don't worry! Zuo Heng's has already been distributed to him. I've also distributed quite a bit to Ji Bin, Zhang Ning, and Li Li. Zhou Niao's and yours are all on this card. You two can divide it up among yourselves!"
"and yours?"
Jiang Weihua patted his pocket and said, "It's here! I can't treat myself badly."
Zhou Xiang stuffed the bank card back into his pocket and said, "It's yours. You're responsible for everything in Beijing and Hangzhou. Give the profits to the people who work hard, and the rest is yours."
Jiang Weihua was stunned and quickly took out his bank card, "What? These are all yours..."
Zhou wanted to push his hand back, "Don't push it. I said it's for you, so it's for you. You've given so much over the past decade, not only in terms of energy but also in terms of money. You, as an uncle, have done a better job than my biological parents. There's no need to always think about compensating me. You don't owe anyone anything."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Weihua heard something was wrong, so he didn't dare to push it to Zhou Xiang anymore. He took the bank card and kept it for himself, and would give it to his niece later together with the dividends from the agency.
"This year, you guys should spend the New Year with Aunt Dong! We'll go back to the Ling family for the New Year. On the sixth day, you go back to the Zhou family. I'm planning to separate the family."
Split up the family? My niece said split up the family? Seeing Ling Ran wink at him, Jiang Weihua stopped asking and went back to school to see his wife and children.
Ling Ran said he was going out to do something, and Zhou Xiang nodded, "Go ahead! And by the way, tell Senior Jiang clearly that I'm tired and need a break."
Jiang Weihua didn't hear any useful information from his wife, and was planning to go to Zhou's house to ask his eldest sister in person, when Ling Ran called him downstairs to talk.
After listening to Ling Ran's story, Jiang Weihua couldn't help but feel angry at his elder sister. "Elder sister, have you had enough of your good life? Oh, let's break up!"
Jiang Weihua couldn't say too much in front of Ling Ran. How different was his elder sister's temperament from his father's? He didn't care about the ones he should care about, and he held the ones he shouldn't care about in his hands.
After Ling Ran left, Jiang Weihua went to the second street of the town. He looked at the store from afar. The store had been tidied up and stocked with daily necessities. He sighed and turned away. He no longer had any intention of recognizing him.
He took everything his niece gave him for granted. No wonder she was so tired! He was tired just watching her.
The final exams are approaching, and the students' studies are getting a little intense, but it's not yet to the point where they need Zhou Xiang's guidance. It's fine for a few children to review together on their own.
Zhou's mother was very worried because her little girl hadn't come home. "Zhou Quan, should I go apologize to Xiang Xiang?"
Father Zhou glared at her. "Before, you always made excuses for yourself. Now you're admitting your mistakes again. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass Xiang Xiang?"
"How did I embarrass her? If she doesn't come back, isn't it just because she's unhappy? If I go and admit my mistake to her and bow my head first, won't the matter be over?"
Zhou Quan was stunned by his wife's reason. "I finally understand. In the past, when I was young and hot-headed, I beat you up. You asked for it. You thought you were right then, and now you still think you are right. You just bowed your head.
Haha, I finally know who Lao Er resembles. She has never been beaten by Zhu Hang. If she was annoyed by your nagging like I was before, I would definitely be behaving herself if she was beaten three times a day."
"What do you mean?" Zhou's mother raised her voice. "You beat me before, and it was all my fault? Was it wrong for me to ask you to take out money for living expenses?"
Father Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to his daughter-in-law. "I won't argue with you. If you dare to apologize, think about it. I will come back tonight to separate from you. If you don't want to celebrate this New Year, I still want to!"
"Divide the family?" Zhou's mother asked in disbelief, "You mean you want to divide the family?"
"What do you think? He doesn't want to split up the family, but he keeps you company? He's even keeping Jiang Weizhong company?"
When talking about her eldest brother, Zhou's mother lowered her voice, "I, I didn't intend to ask her to hold my eldest brother!"
Father Zhou looked at his deflated daughter-in-law and sighed helplessly, "Can you break off your relationship with Jiang Wei?"
These words made Zhou's mother look up quickly. "What do you mean? Sever ties? Putting aside the question of my eldest brother, he lives with mother now. Are you asking me to sever ties with mother as well?"
Father Zhou shook his head. "In fact, long before your mother forced the third child back again and again, long before she didn't care whether your salary was enough for the family and had to pay for the living expenses of the two children, if you had cut off ties with her, I wouldn't have beaten you without any scruples, and I wouldn't have spent all my salary on food and drink. I don't even give my salary to my father, so why should I give it to her?
现在，你又这样犹豫不决，伤了老四的心，你还想当作无事人一样回到以前？不可能的，分家，是最好的结果，我先跟你打个预防针，我们除了跟老二过，就是我俩单过，别无选择，你先做好思想准备吧！”
其实，在周父的心里是想跟媳妇分开，他跟老四过的，可他知道这不可能，老四不会把他跟媳妇分开的，何况还请了帮佣，他更无法提出这要求了，只能跟媳妇耗着。
周母接受不了丈夫说的这些，从小闺女重生回来后，她的心事一直是跟小闺女说的，现在事情闹成这样，还事关小闺女，她无处诉说，只能去二街找老娘。
