Uncle Zhou's grandson looked at his uncle with sympathy. This was his grandfather's character. When he was angry, he liked to be sarcastic and weird.
No matter how stupid Director Zhou was, he gradually realized that something was wrong and his face turned red.
Just as Xia Lu was being picked on, her uncle came and had a conversation with her. He felt anxious and asked cautiously, "Uncle, did you hear something?"
Uncle Zhou snorted with full force, "You kid, Qin Huai Street is almost a joke. Tell me, did I hear something? You are such a bastard. Jiang Ke used to take good care of you and you grew up following him. How come you turned against him now that you are the director?"
Director Zhou secretly complained in his heart, "Uncle, I don't have it."
Uncle Zhou made a sound of disgust and raised his voice: "You didn't, then why did you let Jiang Ke's wife be bullied? If Lao Long hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known."
Lao Long is the old man who lives next door to the Qin family’s main house.
Director Zhou sighed secretly, and then he asked why his uncle suddenly came back. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and explained, "Uncle, this happened for a reason, and in the end it was found out that it was Ye Dacheng's wife who made trouble, and she has been dealt with."
It would have been fine if he didn't explain. Once he did, Uncle Zhou got even angrier. "We've dealt with Ye Dacheng's wife, but what about Qin Hu's wife?"
Director Zhou was dumbfounded. "Qin Hu's wife didn't do anything. Uncle, don't look at me like that." He smiled bitterly. Really, this matter was caused by Ye Dacheng's wife. Qin Hu's wife had nothing to do with it. It's not kind of me to cause trouble for no reason.
...
...
Uncle Zhou frowned and asked, "Didn't you cause any trouble to Xia Lu?"
"But I heard that Qin Hu's wife has caused a lot of trouble. I asked you to take care of the first wife of the Qin family, but why is the first wife's life so chaotic? On the contrary, I heard that the fifth wife of the Qin family is having an easy life and is always against Xia Lu's wife."
"This can't all be blamed on Qin Hu's wife. Xia Lu has actually been quite unkind over the years..." Director Zhou explained helplessly, telling him everything that had happened to Xia Lu over the years.
After Qin Jiangke left, he became crazy.
He doesn't care about his family or his children.
If it weren’t for the Qin family looking after it, I don’t know what would have happened.
Uncle Zhou was shocked and frowned. Did Jiang Ke's wife become like this? But he was not stupid. He snorted, "You said Xia Lu was a bad person. Xia Lu was not a bad person. She was sad. She had such a good relationship with Jiang Ke. Now that Jiang Ke is gone, can she be like nothing happened? I think you are looking down on Qin Hu's wife because she has a decent job and Qin Hu makes a lot of money. Xia Lu's wife lost Jiang Ke, so you look down on her. Poor two children, I don't know how much grievance they have suffered. I worked here for so many years, and I didn't know what human nature is. If you have money, everyone will flatter you. If you don't have money, everyone will trample on you. Haha."
Director Zhou couldn't deny this, but he sighed and said, "Uncle, I admit that I didn't take good care of you, but I can't say that I'm biased towards Xia Lu based on what happened to Jiang Ke. It's unfair to others."
What's wrong with Uncle Zhou saying it's unfair? To put it bluntly, you still have the airs of an official: "I know Qin Zhengguo and his wife are fair, but everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so it's inevitable that they will be biased towards the smarter ones. Alas, it's still my own fault. I shouldn't have counted on you." Director Zhou said disappointedly, and pounded his useless leg hard.
"elder brother…"
"Uncle..."
"grandfather!"
Three voices of disapproval rang out simultaneously.
Uncle Zhou stopped and ignored them. Jiang Ke had just passed away eight years ago, and he was still in good health. He could come back often to visit and take care of him.
But in the past five years, my health has deteriorated and I can’t walk anymore, so I can only give money and make phone calls.
I was also afraid that Xia Lu's wife would feel burdened, so I asked people around her for help, but I didn't expect that this would be the case.
Director Zhou said with concern, "If you are angry, take it out on me, not on yourself."
Uncle Zhou glared at him and said, "I'll take it out on you. What can I do? What can I do? Forget it. Even if I scold you to death, I can't compensate Jiang Ke's wife. How is Qin Huai Street now?"
Director Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou's father introduced them and said, "It's good to be together. There are still many old guys you know. Do you want to meet them?"
Uncle Zhou thought it was okay, and his grandson Zhou Daren advised, "Uncle, this time I came here, my parents told me that grandpa's legs and feet are getting more and more inconvenient, so he should work less and not see too many people. Just meet those familiar old friends."
Director Zhou looked at the uncle's legs and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, is there no doctor in Qin City who can treat this leg?"
Uncle Zhou said, "You are old, why should you treat it? In a few years, you might not be able to walk anymore. I haven't said anything, why are you showing your miserable face to anyone?"
Director Zhou wiped his face and went to make the arrangements helplessly.
Uncle Zhou was the production team leader here back then. He was dedicated and had a great reputation. Now that he is back, not only does he miss his old friends, but his old friends also miss him. That night, some of them came here in wheelchairs from home, or came here with crutches. There are actually not many old people of the same age as Uncle Zhou in the production team back then. Some of them have passed away, and there are still four or five left. They are all old, and every time they see them, they see fewer and fewer of them.
Not only the old ones wanted to see him, but those who were younger also wanted to visit him, but they were all blocked.
On the Li family's side, Uncle Li knew that Uncle Zhou's son was living in Qin Shili's house. Back then, Grandpa Li and Uncle Zhou were friends, so he asked Grandpa Li to help introduce him to the family. Grandpa Li also wanted to recommend his grandson Li Xianchu to Uncle Zhou, so he went to the Zhou family's door carrying cigarettes, alcohol and tea.
However, when he came over breathlessly, he found that there were a lot of people blocking the way. People like Lao Zhang, Lao Jiu, the Chun family, and the Bai family all came to watch the fun, but they all turned them away on the grounds that Uncle Zhou was old and in poor health and should not overwork.
Grandpa Li was no exception. He immediately said with a fierce face and a rough voice, "Old Zhou's wife, you are wrong. What kind of friendship do I have with your uncle? We used to catch shrimps and fish together in the production brigade. He won't refuse to refuse me even if he refuses to refuse others. Please make way..."
Director Zhou’s wife didn’t give in. She was speechless about Lao Li’s rogue behavior. “Uncle Li, don’t make a scene here. It’s not good. I told you that uncle has seen many old friends during the day and is already tired. Why did you insist on seeing him!”
While he was talking, a person came out of the room.
Uncle Zhou's grandson, Zhou Daren, asked, "Aunt, what's going on? It's so noisy."
After knowing what happened, he frowned and looked at the Li family and said, "My grandfather is not in good health. He came back to visit his old friends. If anyone disturbs him and makes him worry and gets into trouble, we in the Zhou family will not let him go."
Back to the 1990s, she became rich through scientific research
