Father Zhou waved his hand and said, "Then we can't accept it either. Otherwise, if your in-laws find out, you won't be able to stay at home anymore."
Li Chen advised, "Dad, you worry too much. They have no objection to this matter."
Father Zhou was stunned, with an expression of disbelief, "Are you saying they knew about this a long time ago?"
"Um."
Mother Zhou quickly asked, "My daughter, is what Xiaochen said true?"
Zhou Miao nodded in agreement, "Really."
After a moment of silence, Zhou's mother sighed, "My daughter, the best decision I've made in my life was letting you go to work and agreeing to your marriage with Xiaochen."
Hearing this, Zhou's father's face darkened and he said in a muffled voice, "Wasn't your decision to marry me the right one?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhou's mother said unhappily, "I just liked you back then. The final decision was made by my parents."
Father Zhou scratched his cheek and said, "That's not right. I remember you saying that marrying me was your own decision."
"That was a lie. I wanted you to be nicer to me."
Father Zhou: ...
Li Chen was overjoyed. "Dad, Mom, now you can accept it with peace of mind, right?"
The old couple looked at each other, and then Father Zhou pondered and said, "We will accept it this time. You can't give so much in the future. Do you hear me?"
Li Chen felt that this sounded familiar. He thought about it and said perfunctorily, "I heard it."
At this time, Zhou's daughter-in-law asked, "Brother-in-law, next time you go out on business, can you take my Zhou Ben with you and let him help you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room's expression changed.
Mother Zhou's face was gloomy and she said in a cold voice, "Old boy, take her back to the house."
Zhou Ben responded, stood up and walked out with his wife.
Even so, his wife was still resisting and shouting, "Brother-in-law, can you please say something?"
Li Chen's tone was extremely calm. "I have my elder brother and my second elder brother above me. It's their decision on who to take with me and who not to take with me, not me."
This actually means rejection.
If someone is more sensible, he will not mention it again after hearing it.
But Zhou's daughter-in-law was a tactless person, otherwise she wouldn't have asked this question in public. She just continued to shout, "Brother-in-law, he is your brother-in-law, not an outsider. Please plead for him."
Father Zhou couldn't bear it any longer. He slammed the table and pointed at Zhou Ben and yelled, "You little beast, hurry up and drag him out."
After being scolded, Zhou Ben used all his strength to quickly drag his wife out.
The person left, but the mess he left behind still needed to be cleaned up. Zhou's father immediately made a statement, "Xiaochen, if anyone in my family comes to you about this matter in the future, just refuse. Don't agree to it."
Then he turned his gaze to his other sons and daughters-in-law, "I'm telling you, if anyone dares to mention this to Xiaochen again, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Chen nodded without saying anything.
The expressions of Zhou's son and daughter-in-law changed again, but no one said anything.
The good atmosphere was ruined by Zhou's daughter-in-law, which made everyone lose the desire to talk.
After a while, Li Chen and his wife said goodbye and left.
Walking on the street, Li Chen sighed, "Zhou Ben used to be so honest, I didn't expect him to be so cunning now."
He knew very well that if Zhou Ben really wanted to pull his wife out, she would not have the chance to say the rest.
Zhou Ben did this because he also wanted to work with Li Chen, and he just happened to express it through his wife's mouth.
Zhou Miao also understood this and said slowly, "People always change. Just do as our father said. If my family asks you to do something in the future, you must refuse it outright."
Li Chen was a little surprised, "Do you really think so?"
"certainly."
"Okay, I'll do as you say from now on, but we have an agreement in advance, so you can't go back on your word when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I won't regret it. To be honest, if my parents were still alive, I wouldn't go back to my parents' home."
Li Chen knew about the conflict between her and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law from her natal family, but he didn't expect the conflict to be so serious.
Zhou Miao knew the financial situation of the Li family. With such a huge sum of money, even a little bit of it would be enough for the Zhou family to live a rich life.
But she was not willing to tell her family at all, which showed how angry she was.
This means that once her parents die, she will cut off all ties with her parents' family.
Li Chen thought about it and hesitated, "Did you have a conflict with your brothers from your mother's family after I left?"
Half a year ago, he sold his job to his father-in-law's family, and Zhou Miao was quite happy at that time.
Now her attitude has changed 180 degrees. It is obvious that something happened in the past six months and her brothers from her natal family made her very angry, so she is like this.
"There was no conflict, but some things happened that made me disappointed in them."
"Very disappointed?" Li Chen was stunned. "What do you mean by that?"
"They watched helplessly as my wife annoyed and ridiculed me, but they said nothing."
Hearing this, Li Chen's face suddenly darkened. "Don't go back to your parents' home unless necessary. Give the original amount of money to your parents, so that these ungrateful people don't get any advantage."
In the past, he didn't care about the conflicts between Zhou Miao and his sister-in-law and brother-in-law from his mother's family.
After all, they married into the Zhou family, so it was normal that they were not close to Zhou Miao.
But now it’s different. Zhou Miao’s brothers actually let their wives ridicule her.
This is absolutely intolerable.
You should know that Li Chen and his wife gave the Zhou family two jobs, and now the jobs are in the Zhou brothers' hands. Moreover, when they went to the countryside, Li Chen also took good care of the three brothers-in-law who went with him.
