Zhou Aiguo couldn't contain himself any longer. Seeing that only his family was left, he asked impatiently, "Dad, what happened? You almost scared me to death!"
Xu Mingzhao was also a little worried, but he didn't say anything.
Anyway, someone will ask for him.
He quickly poured water for his parents and wife.
They were served to each person one by one.
First, give your father-in-law and mother-in-law two satisfied looks.
Then he said to Zhou Aihui, "Wife, are you thirsty? Have some tea. I added some brown sugar. You can drink some water first."
Let's take a break, and then we'll eat. It's all cooked and keeping warm in the stove!
Zhou Aihui watched as Xu Mingzhao, with his handsome face, showered her with tender care.
The sweetness in her heart made her smile shyly, and she dared not look at her boyfriend anymore.
She could only bow her head and accept the bowl of brown sugar water, a symbol of love.
Over there, after finishing his brown sugar water, Zhou's father slowly spoke up: "What happened? It's what you saw. Someone wants me dead. I don't want to die, so I can only pretend to be stupid."
Remember this from now on: I'm a fool, so serve me well!
Si Hongtao was amused by her husband.
"Alright, I'll take good care of you. We're already here, so you don't need to pretend anymore, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Luxue put away his previous relaxed and carefree attitude before speaking.
"Have you guys noticed Zhang Jun, the guy who came with us?"
Zhou Aihui nodded. "That lackey? What happened to him?"
Zhou Luxue said helplessly, "I saw him once at Deputy Factory Director Zhang's house. That time, he was coming out of his house in the middle of the night."
Upon hearing this, Si Hongtao immediately stood up from the kang (a heated brick bed): "What is this bastard trying to do? We've already been dragged all this way by him, and he still won't give up. Does he really want us to die before he'll stop?"
Zhou Aiguo was stunned: "No, Mom and Dad, what do you mean? You mean the reason our family is in this state is because of Uncle Zhang, no, that bastard Zhang!"
Xu Mingzhao's face immediately lit up with a smile.
My brother-in-law is hilarious.
She even reached out and ruffled her brother-in-law's hair.
The child was so angry that he shook his head.
Unfortunately, they still couldn't escape the ravages of Xu Mingzhao's cruel hand.
Then Zhou Aihui continued to massage.
The key point is that he looked on with obvious surprise.
Zhou Aiguo stopped resisting and let the couple's hands mess with his head.
Thinking back to the miserable state of being bullied by the two of them together in the past.
A mournful cry escaped his lips.
I can't live like this anymore.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou saw that the three of them were still getting along in the same way as before.
Let's relax for now.
Mr. Zhou shifted to a more comfortable position and invited Mrs. Zhou to lean against him as well: "Hongtao, come, come and rest for a bit."
Si Hongtao refused.
He cursed inwardly, "You old lecher."
Seeing that his wife was not appreciative, Zhou's father could only enjoy it himself first: "Yes, it was that bastard surnamed Zhang who classified high-quality products as defective products and sold them to the supply and marketing cooperative at a low price."
The two people split the profits from selling high-quality products at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Someone exposed this, and the man surnamed Zhang insisted it was me. He went to higher-ups to frame me. Unable to find any other evidence against me, he claimed I had arranged for my daughter to have a child husband, and that's how it happened!
Xu Mingzhao and Zhou Aiguo were stunned.
Zhou Aiguo had a look on his face that said, "This is possible?"
Xu Mingzhao, on the other hand, was overjoyed and relieved that her identity had finally been revealed to the world, that her injustice had been cleared, and that her true self was now clear.
Zhou Aihui, seeing her boyfriend's smug expression, nudged him with her elbow: "What are you so happy about? You're calling me your childhood sweetheart!"
Xu Mingzhao replied matter-of-factly, "That's me!"
Zhou Aihui: Ugh, I can't bear to look.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou exchanged a glance.
Zhou's mother nodded to Zhou's father.
Mr. Zhou looked disgusted, as if he had stepped in dog poop, but someone insisted that this meant good luck was coming. He reluctantly said, "Alright then, since he's been raised as a child husband, he's reached marriageable age."
I'll go get the certificate tomorrow, and then get the marriage certificate. That way, it won't be for nothing that these people accused me of this.
Xu Mingzhao's eyes lit up, and he happily hugged Zhou Aihui and spun her around twice.
Embarrassed, Zhou Aihui kept shouting, "Put me down, put me down!"
Xu Mingzhao didn't go too far; he only lapped his wife twice before putting her down.
If you get dizzy from spinning around like this, you'll be the one who suffers.
Besides, there are other people around.
Then he immediately stood up straight, knelt on the ground with a "plop," and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom. I will definitely treat Ai Hui well!"
He stood up and kowtowed to Zhou Aihui again: "Thank you, my wife. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well!"
Then, facing Zhou Aiguo, she thought for a moment, as if she wanted to kneel, but after much hesitation, she didn't kneel down and instead bowed: "Thank you, brother-in-law. I will definitely treat your sister well in the future!"
Zhou Aiguo looked at his brother-in-law, who was already as happy as a fool but not completely stupid, and felt extremely disgusted.
Luckily, he didn't kneel down to himself, or he would have shortened his lifespan.
After catching up on each other's recent situations, Zhou Aiguo and Xu Mingzhao brought in the food.
Simple yet plentiful: corn porridge, steamed buns made with two kinds of flour, stir-fried pork belly with chili peppers, stewed chicken with mushrooms, persimmon soup, and stir-fried eggs with chives.
Every single one of them is delicious and goes perfectly with rice.
Halfway through the meal, Zhou Aiguo finally remembered something.
After several attempts, Zhou Aiguo finally managed to say it.
There's no way around it, it's too embarrassing.
"Dad, Mom, um, I... I've found a master to teach me kung fu!"
At first, Zhou's father and mother didn't care. They thought, "So what if he wants to become an apprentice? Every intern in the textile factory needs to find a master to guide him."
