"This incident caused a huge uproar in the family compound back then, even more so than with other people who were sent down!"
"That's right. They say he's pitiful, but he used to work for those filthy people. They say he's hateful, but he seems to be a pretty good guy!"
"His son is the real deal. Back then, people said he was willing to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice!"
Zhang Xingrong didn't expect things to turn out like this, so Mr. Zhou felt that it was his own fault that caused his wife's death, and therefore punished himself?
It seems that even if there is any hidden secret, it is not much different. The most important thing is the death of his wife, which is the biggest blow to him!
"Hey girl, where are you from? Which family are you from? Or did you marry in? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Zhang Xingrong put away the beans, leaving the melon seeds behind, and smiled, "I'm a relative of Mr. Zhou Changping, and I wanted to come and see him!"
Everyone was stunned.
“…”
This... they really didn't expect that this old man Zhou actually had relatives? They hadn't seen any relatives from the Zhou family come over in all these years. Could it be that they heard that he could come back and came to curry favor with him?
Oh, they even say bad things to people’s faces!
Zhang Xingrong didn't know what everyone was thinking, so she got up and went to look for Mr. Zhou's son, Zhou Yanchuan. She had just chatted with the old ladies and found out where Zhou Yanchuan lived.
It was Zhou Yanchuan's wife who opened the door. She looked at Zhang Xingrong with a puzzled look on her face: "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Zhou Yanchuan." Zhang Xingrong was also looking at the person in front of her. The woman in front of her was quite pretty. Although there was a bit of harshness on her face, the harshness did not diminish her beauty. Instead, it blended well with her beauty, forming a kind of harsh beauty.
The woman was suspicious and a little wary: "What are you looking for my man for?"
Zhang Xingrong found this ridiculous. What did that tone, full of assertion of sovereignty, mean? Did this woman think she was a rival for a powerful man? It was ridiculous. She was making random inferences before even asking the question. How abhorrent!
"I didn't do anything. I just wanted to ask him some questions about his father!"
The woman opposite her suddenly changed her expression and said angrily, "I don't know what father is. Our family consists of me, my husband, and my child. You better leave now!"
As she said that, she slammed the door, but Zhang Xingrong already knew her plan, so she held the door tightly.
"If you don't want to make things awkward, just slam the door!"
"You..." The woman was extremely angry. "Who the hell are you? How dare you come to the Auditor's Family Compound to cause trouble? Believe it or not, I'll call for help!"
"Call me," Zhang Xingrong glanced at the person in front of her, "I'm Mr. Zhou's... distant niece. He owed my family money when he was studying!"
The woman inside was also stunned.
This... is there such a thing? If it's true, how many years have passed before it happened?
"You are kidding me!" The woman didn't believe it, but seeing how confident she was, it didn't seem like she was lying.
"I have Mr. Zhou's IOU and signature. Should we really go in and verify its authenticity?" Zhang Xingrong hummed. She did have Mr. Zhou's signature, but it wasn't an IOU. However, she could add it.
Seeing that Zhang Xingrong didn't seem to be lying, the woman snorted, "So what? The person you're looking for has been demoted. He severed all ties with us back then. We don't know anything about him. Don't come looking for us. It has nothing to do with us!"
"A son should pay for his father's debts. It's only right!" Zhang Xingrong pressed the door. I must go in through this door today!
