The next day, Zhou's father came back early after finishing work, packed the provincial competition trophies and certificates of honor, and urged Zhou Yu to set breakfast quickly.
Zhou Yu was very supportive. Because it was market day today, she had been waiting for her father to come home early for dinner.
Zhou Xiang looked at his eldest brother and said, "Brother, today I am going to the county town with Dad to see Grandpa, so you don't have to go."
Zhou Niao nodded, "I'll help my eldest sister set up the stall."
After dinner, Zhou Yu hurriedly cleaned up the kitchen and went to the street with Zhou Niao.
Zhou wanted to help hold the mirror so his second sister didn't have to make a second trip.
The owner of the small department store stall became a fixed stall, always placed between Zhou Yu and Hu Wendong's stalls. He didn't care at all about his stall being sandwiched between them. Instead, he used Zhou Yu's stall to sell a lot of hairpins.
He was very excited to see Zhou Xiang, "Little girl, will you help your sister watch the stall today?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "I'm going to the county town and help move some things."
The stall owner was quite disappointed, but when the little girl looked at the stall, there were a lot of customers and it was fun.
Hu Wendong breathed a sigh of relief. Since Zhou Xiang was not coming, he couldn't sell much with Zhou Yu's help, but he could still sell a lot of cloth himself. On the day Zhou Xiang came to see the stall, he actually only bought one meter of trouser cloth.
Father Zhou carried the bag and said, "Let's go!"
When they arrived at the county town, Zhou's father asked, "Do you want to buy something else to take with you?"
"Buy it! Don't let people gossip about it."
There were still two cans and two packages of cakes. Zhou Xiang pushed open the gate and found it quiet inside.
When he opened the door of his grandfather's room again, he smelled a strong smell and hurried out.
"Dad, it smells so bad in there, Grandpa is in bed! He must have pulled out the bed, go help clean it up."
Zhou's father nodded, and Zhou Xiang went into Zhou Ying's room, but there was no one inside.
Uncle San's door is locked.
Very good! No matter how strong your reasons are, I can crush you to death.
Zhou Xiang sat in the yard and waited. Zhou Quan cleaned his father, carried him to the recliner, changed the bed sheets, carried him back, and put pants on him.
Then open the doors and windows for ventilation.
Zhou Quan felt very sad when he saw the tears flowing down his father's thin face.
When has my father ever suffered such a thing?
After leaving the room, he said to Zhou Xiang, "Your grandfather has bedsores."
Zhou Xiang sighed softly. No matter how strong he was, if he didn't have reliable children by his side when he was old, everything would be in vain.
"Dad, go find someone from the company's HR department. Since Zhou Ying can't take good care of him, we can find someone else. Even a nanny will do."
Zhou Quan nodded and went out to find someone.
Zhou Xiang walked closer to his grandfather's room, and the smell had dissipated a little.
Sitting down next to the old man, "What does it feel like? What does it feel like?"
The old man spoke each word with emphasis, "I want to change people."
"Okay, change it! My dad has already contacted the personnel department and will make the decision for you. You deserve it. You didn't raise your son well, and you didn't raise your granddaughter well either. Especially your little grandson, he's crooked."
"I want to go to your house."
"How big of a grudge do you have against me? If you come to my house, I only have one question: can my aunt-in-law allow my family to live in peace?"
"Don't bother with her. If she dares to make trouble, I'll chase her away."
"Auntie isn't someone who gives up easily. She must think we're taking care of you for money. And Third Uncle won't let go either.
You represent trouble! Besides, my house is too full for you, so I'll find you a babysitter!"
The old man shook his head. "If you don't stay, you'll be kicked out."
"You understand now, but it's too late."
Zhou Quan called the personnel department, but Zhou Ying still didn't come back.
The personnel department was furious when they saw the old man's appearance. "It's only been a month, and they've already ruined you like this. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, how are you going to survive? This smell in the room, and why are you still covering yourself with a thick blanket when it's so hot?"
Zhou Quan shook his head, "We just arrived, and I was the one who changed my father's clothes! There's no one else at home."
The old man burst into tears and said, "I want to go to the market town."
Zhou Quan's eyes were red. "Father, not only is our family not talking about whether to move in or not, even my sister-in-law won't agree. If you live with me, my family will be in turmoil because of my sister-in-law."
The HR department looked at the old man and asked, "How about the third child?"
The old man shook his head, "Same."
"You think the only way to survive is to go to the second brother, right?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "I don't agree. Even if my aunt agrees now, she will often come to my house in the future. We can't stop her from visiting the elderly. She's too aggressive and we can't handle it. Grandpa, you can sue my aunt and my third uncle based on your current situation. You can sue me, including my father. It all depends on how the court handles it."
The Personnel Department also knew Ye Xiu's aggressiveness and Xia Cuilan's dominance, and looked at Zhou Quan with embarrassment.
"What do you think?"
Zhou Quan shook his head. "No, let father sue us for being unfilial! I'll take over."
The old man's tears flowed quickly.
At this time, there was a sound outside the door. Zhou Xiang stuck his head out and saw that it was Zhou Xing who came back from buying groceries.
Turning back to the house, he said to his father, "It's Zhou Xing. I told her not to come, and she agreed. Now she's going back on her word again. I'd rather believe there are ghosts in this world than believe what my aunt says."
Zhou Quan was already very sad, and now when he heard that his sister-in-law had been replaced by the most annoying Zhou Xing, he immediately became furious.
When he walked out of the room, he saw Zhou Xing carrying a basket and slapped her.
"Who allowed you to come? Also, your grandpa is in bed, where were you? Don't tell me you went to buy groceries. Your mom asked your eldest brother to wait on the waiters, where is he?"
Zhou Xing covered her face, facing the cruelty in her uncle's eyes. She didn't dare cry out loud, but said with tears in her eyes, "Brother has gone home to harvest the wheat."
"Where's Zhou Ying?"
"Going back too?"
"What about you? Why aren't you at home harvesting the wheat?"
"My eldest sister exchanged it with me."
"You must have been the one who insisted on the swap. Zhou Ying isn't someone who would dare to act on his own. Go back immediately and swap Zhou Ying and Zhou Jun. Also, tell your mother that your grandfather is planning to sue the three families for being unfilial. Not only did he develop bedsores, but they also covered him with thick blankets in the summer. He feels like he has no hope of survival, and none of you will have an easy life. Go back immediately."
Zhou Xing covered her face, went back to her room, packed her things and left.
The personnel department felt that the Zhou family hadn't yet reached a conclusion, so they left first. "If you've made a decision, go and notify us."
Zhou Quan nodded and sent the person out.
Returning to the yard and looking at the little girl, he said, "Think about it..."
"Don't even think about it. Do you think my aunt would agree? Unless Grandpa gives her his salary for free, but will Third Uncle agree? Besides, why should they get paid for free while we have to spend money and effort to take care of them? Is it just because our family is better off now?
My aunt must have thought that I took grandpa's good things, so she was willing to give up the monthly salary of more than 80 yuan.
Do I have to prove that I earned the money? Wouldn't that mean I told her about my fortune for nothing?
What's your reason? Just because the guy in the room is your father?"
