"What's wrong? Why aren't you smiling?" Zhou Yanzhi's expression didn't change much, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Yu was embarrassed. He put his phone in his pocket and looked uneasy. "I think I might be in big trouble!"
"Is it that serious?"
Xiao Yu nodded and said nervously, "My mom is actually quite good when she doesn't lose her temper. But when she does, she's really scary."
"So how are you going to solve it?"
Xiao Yu hesitated: "Let me think about it..."
"Didn't you mail seafood to your family?"
"Oh my god, I actually forgot about this." Xiao Yu was even more horrified. He had originally mailed so many things, and he was thinking of using the excuse of friends. Now, with these two things piled up together, if it weren't for him and his mother being so far away, he would definitely have to eat a fresh meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat.
"Is it so serious?" Zhou Yanzhi discovered that the child was really nervous.
"Mr. Zhou, how many days do you think it would be appropriate for me to turn off my phone?"
Zhou Yanzhi looked at the pitiful child and couldn't help but pull him into his arms: "How about blocking my mother-in-law?"
"No, she'll call me from someone else's phone. And then she'll get even angrier."
"Tsk! It looks like I can't escape this scolding, and I don't have any better solution." In his opinion, the meal provided by the Li family was nothing.
From another perspective, it also represents the attitude of the Li family.
But Zhou Yanzhi could imagine the situation the child was in.
If the mother-in-law had raised her children well-educated and well-mannered, she wouldn't be the type to take advantage. But now, not only was the child being bullied at the banquet, but he was also wasting his own favors entertaining that group's "accomplices."
Zhou Yanzhi felt that when his mother-in-law found out, she would be more than just angry.
Children only worry about being scolded. But as a mother, knowing that her child has been bullied by outsiders and then by her own family, she is even more heartbroken!
But her silly child didn't know the reason for this sadness.
"...I hope that if I don't go home for the New Year this year, my mother's longing for me will offset her anger! It's a pity that I worked so hard to pick up seafood, but if she gets angry, she will definitely throw it away."
"Didn't you also give me pearl jewelry?"
"Oh, that's right!" Xiao Yu was startled. "There's no woman who doesn't like jewelry. If she happens to fall in love with those jewelry, will she be less angry with me?"
"perhaps."
“…”
"How about you call your father-in-law and ask him to help you?"
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. "Don't you know that husband and wife are the epitome of collusion? If my dad knew, he would definitely tell my mom first, and then we would join forces to fight against the enemy. If I were with them, it would be a mixed bag of doubles."
Zhou Yanzhi wanted to laugh. The kid looked very experienced.
However, although he didn't live with his biological parents for a long time and didn't know much about them, his grandparents seemed to get along just like that.
The two old men usually looked quite serious, but when it came to their wives, they were absolutely united. This tacit understanding made him very depressed when he was a child.
So sometimes, he would rather offend his grandfather than disobey his grandmother.
but……
Zhou Yanzhi still suggested that Xiao Yu call his father-in-law. After all, it is better to let his mother-in-law know certain things in advance than for her to see someone else's joke and suddenly find out that she is the one who made the joke.
After hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately felt like he was awakened from his dream and turned around to call his father.
Zhou Yanzhi just listened to the little boy, who was like a sneaky little mouse, chirping with his father, and then told his father not to tell his mother.
When he hung up, he mentioned in a subtle way that the pearls he was mailing back were all bought during his trip to Hainan, and they were absolutely genuine, costing over a thousand yuan each. He asked his father to help him hide them first.
Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he hung up the phone and turned it off. His face was pale with nervousness, and he was grinning with the smugness of having survived a disaster.
Zhou Yanzhi-_-||: ...
Fortunately, the mother-in-law showed mercy to him, otherwise he might have ended up living alone in this life!
