Zhou Jun felt relieved when he heard from Zhou Xiang that he had no intention of taking his grandfather away.
Zhou Xiang thought it was funny. If he was greedy for the salary, why didn't he take good care of the child?
Thinking of this, I asked the question, "Grandpa has been treated so pitifully by you in just three months.
It's so hot, and you're covering him with a thick blanket. Are you trying to kill him with the heat? You're letting him poop in bed. Are you trying to make him stink to death? You're not turning him over, and he's got bedsores all over his body. Are you trying to make him die faster? What are you thinking?
If he dies, his salary will be gone too! What are you trying to achieve? I don’t understand.”
Zhou Jun was filled with anger when he heard this. Zhou Xing had taken the initiative to come and take care of Grandpa, leaving her elder sister to go back to harvest wheat.
But he didn't take it seriously and was caught by his second uncle on the spot. It was so infuriating.
Zhou Xiang saw his expression change and guessed the reason: Zhou Xing hated his grandfather and deliberately ruined him.
"Alas! We have been such mean people in vain. If we had come a few days later, or if we had pretended not to see you, I believe that by the time you returned from summer retreat, Grandpa would have been almost dead, right? We chased Zhou Xing away and earned her hatred, but we accidentally saved Grandpa and helped you. It was not worth it, not only was it not worth it, but we also lost a lot."
Zhou Jun listened to the sarcasm and gloating in her words, and the smile that usually appeared on his face could no longer be maintained.
Every time I meet this little cousin, I can't control my emotions.
In Mr. Zhou's yard, Ye Xiu was about to enter the old man's room, but was stopped by Zhou Quan.
"It's not appropriate for my sister-in-law to go in. Father has bedsores all over his body. I've already removed the thick blanket from him and turned him over to air out the bedsores."
Ye Xiu stopped and asked, "If someone from the personnel department comes later, will we women not be allowed in?"
"It doesn't matter whether women get in or not. They're useless except for crying and throwing tantrums. It's enough for Zhou Jun to go in as a representative."
Ye Xiu choked. When did this second brother become so good at talking? With just one sentence, he blocked all his paths.
Xia Cuilan pulled Zhou Ming, and the two of them went to the corner of the yard and started whispering.
Ye Xiu looked towards the courtyard door angrily. Why did her eldest son follow her? Couldn't Zhou Xiang, that dead girl, call someone? She couldn't explain this first. It was so frustrating.
As soon as Zhou Jun entered the house, his mother pulled him aside and told him how to fight for it.
Zhou Jun looked at her disappointedly. "Mom, you didn't see how Grandpa was abused by Zhou Xing, but she was caught red-handed by Second Uncle. What conditions do you think our family can offer?"
"I want to go in and take a look! Your second uncle won't let me, saying your grandfather is drying his bedsores. You go in and see what happens. If your second uncle is exaggerating, you can't give in!"
"Okay, I get it. What do the people in the personnel department think of you pulling me over here?"
The personnel department saw the large bedsores under the old man's body and asked Zhou Ming beside him, "Is this the result of your supervision?"
Seeing that he wanted to argue, I waved my hand and said, "You don't need to explain, we only look at the facts."
Then he said to Zhou Jun who had just come in, "What do you think of the bedsore under the old man's body?"
Zhou Jun looked at the red bedsore in surprise. It was obvious that it had just appeared in the past few days. If Zhou Xing were here, he would have wanted to beat her to death.
"It's our fault. Aren't we in a hurry to get back for the summer harvest?"
The personnel department waved their hands. "Don't explain. You want to take the old man's salary and take care of the family land at the same time. You can't have it both ways. Look at this quilt. Why aren't you wearing a cotton jacket? This is clearly elder abuse. Your family doesn't qualify. The third family can't even provide basic supervision, so they don't qualify either."
Zhou Quan quickly shook his head. "Leader, you should know what my family is like. No matter how qualified I am, I don't have the conditions."
The person from the personnel department walked over to the other side of the bed, looked at the old man, and asked, "What are your plans?"
"Please, nanny, separate the yard."
"Are you planning to pay a nanny to look after you and separate the yard and the third child?"
Ye Xiu's objection was immediately heard from outside the door, "No, you can separate the yard, but you can't hire a nanny."
Seeing that his mother refused to give up, Zhou Jun covered his grandfather's body, leaving the bedsore exposed.
"Mom, come in and take a look!"
Zhou Xiang felt very annoyed and moved a bench to sit outside the yard. Every time he came here, there were many things to do. Next time, let Dad come alone! He had already seen the end of the old man. There was no need to face these people and face these things repeatedly.
Listening to the quarrel coming from the room, Zhou Xiang dozed off out of boredom.
It was not until after four o'clock that there was a result. The old man was coaxed by his aunt again and agreed to give her family a chance.
The person from the Personnel Department was escorted out by Zhou Quan and left shaking his head.
Zhou Xiang laughed sarcastically, "Dad, this is your father. He will never see your efforts until he dies."
Zhou Quan was also disappointed, "Go back!"
Zhou Xiang nodded, went into the house and opened the cloth bag that his father had carefully protected and brought to make the old man happy.
"Grandpa, this is the trophy and certificate for first place in the provincial competition. Does it look good? Is it dazzling? I got home yesterday, and my dad brought it to you today.
He is in his forties and still hasn't figured things out. He still hopes to get a little praise from you, even if it's just a compliment that he has raised a good daughter, but there is none!
When you were extremely disappointed, you felt warmth from him. You felt regretful and cried for being disappointed in others, but you didn't even praise him.
No, I will never do that again. I will never let him take the first place that I worked so hard to win and throw it aside like a piece of trash in your place.
From now on, it's up to him whether he comes or not. I don't want to get involved in your bullshit anymore. Goodbye, never see you again."
Turning his head and looking at his little granddaughter who left without looking back, Grandpa Zhou felt as if he had lost the most important thing.
I stretched out my hand to grab something, but I couldn't grab anything.
I threw the cloth bag into my father's arms and said, "Don't take out my things from now on, otherwise I will keep them for myself."
Zhou Quan hurriedly caught the cloth bag, "Oops! Don't break it."
"Even though I broke it, it's better than bringing it here and no one even glanced at it or said a word of praise. Isn't it good for you to be praised by others in town? Why do you have to come here and be looked down upon?"
Zhou Quan wrapped the cloth bag tightly and said, "Okay, I won't show off your things here anymore. It lowers my daughter's taste."
"That's good to know! Let's go home. You don't rely on him to survive. You still have family like us. Why bother about such a blind man?"
Zhou Quan's eyes were red. "Let's go! Go home!"
Zhou Jun looked at the father and daughter who were leaving, and then went into the old man's room. "Grandpa, think about what's in that cloth bag?"
The old man doesn't want to talk. Has he really lost this time?
