Chapter 291 I'm so moved I want to cry

Boss Zhou went back to the backyard holding an umbrella. He didn't see his father in the kitchen, but saw his mother instead. His mother was wearing clothes and her hair was wrapped around a fire.

Boss Zhou put away his umbrella and came in, "Mom, Chang Lian and Dong are outside the door. Chang Lian said Dong is young and it's all his fault. I hope you can let Dong in."

Zhulan looked at the boss with amusement, "Are you happy that I'm helping Li and you vent your anger?"

Zhou Laoda was frightened and shook his head violently, "Mom, I am the eldest brother and Li is the eldest sister-in-law. We are a family and it is normal for us to have conflicts. Li and I are not smart, but we have no complaints in our hearts."

Zhulan liked this point about the eldest brother and Li. No matter how aggrieved they were, they would not bear grudges. She did not lock the door casually. She knew that it would be bad for Dong's reputation if she was locked outside as a daughter-in-law. But now it was dark and raining, and there was no one on the street. It would be okay for her to stand outside for a while.

When Zhou Lao Da saw that his mother didn't say anything, the light from the fire pit shone on her face. Zhou Lao Da blinked and realized that his mother seemed to have become much younger. She didn't look like a person who was almost forty at all. He looked away, feeling uneasy. When his mother had no expression on her face, she was scarier than his father!

Zhulan saw that the hot water in the pot was boiling, so she took a bucket to fill it with hot water and instructed the eldest brother, "Send it to your father's house."

Boss Zhou, "Hey."

Zhulan waited for Boss Zhou to come back. Looking at the rain outside, it seemed to be getting heavier. "Open the gate in a quarter of an hour, provided they are still outside the gate."

Zhou Laoda was worried, "Mom, what if Chang Lian and Dong are not outside the gate?"

Zhulan clapped her hands, "Then there's no need to come back."

Boss Zhou's heart trembled a little, because his mother was telling the truth and was not fooling him.

Zhulan, "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you leave?"

"I'll go to the front now."

Zhulan is really angry with Chang Lian and Dong. Chang Lian was taught by Zhou Shuren himself. Chang Lian has ambitions and good intentions, but as his status changes, he no longer takes his brother seriously and no longer regards the Zhou family as the head. By the time she and Zhou Shuren can no longer control him, a big mess will have happened sooner or later!

She thought that Chang Lian and Dong would cause some grievances to the eldest sister Li, but she didn't expect that they were too bold and thought that the Zhou family depended on them before they even had enough wings. If she didn't give Chang Lian a couple of strong blows to let him know who she was, she would be too friendly to them. Chang Lian should know, no, the whole family should know that she and Zhou Shuren had the final say in this family, and she was unwilling to leave without seeing him off.

Outside the gate, Chang Lian and Dong were still standing there, waiting for their eldest brother to reply, but they waited and waited and their eldest brother never came back, and they felt increasingly depressed.

Chang Lian thought of the bottom line his father had mentioned. He had crossed his mother's bottom line, and he was more sober than ever.

Since he became a scholar, and still a young scholar, he was also taken care of by his brother-in-law. When his brother-in-law was not around, his brother-in-law's staff would teach him. In addition, everyone in Pingzhou City knew that he was Lord Jiang's brother-in-law. Many people fawned on him and flattered him. Although he kept his father's teachings in mind, he was still contented. He believed that his future would not be bad.

Chang Lian lowered his head. After hearing so many things about the Zhou family relying on him in the future, his mentality changed. He also believed that the Zhou family would definitely rely on him in the future. No matter how powerful his father was, he was young. Especially after his brother-in-law told him about Chang Zhi's future, he was even more certain that the Zhou family relied on him.

His attitude towards his two brothers gradually changed, and Mrs. Dong was also greatly influenced by him, which led to the subsequent events.

Chang Lian looked at the gate of the Zhou family, and then he realized that the Zhou family would be the same with or without him. Even without him, the Zhou family would still be doing well. It would take who knows how many years for him to become their support, but he still had to rely on his family.

He realized more deeply that his mind was unstable and easily misled by external things. He suddenly realized that if he continued like this, his future would not be far away.

Dong was shivering from the cold. She bit her lip and said, "Husband, let's go to the inn. My parents won't open the door tonight."

Mrs. Dong felt a little resentful. They had gone too far, but Chang Lian would definitely be the one with the greatest potential in the future. Did their parents have to teach them this much?

Chang Lian lowered his eyes. Based on his understanding of his parents, if he dared to leave, he would never be able to enter the house again. "Don't talk nonsense. Wait."

Dong was stunned for a moment. She felt her husband's hand shaking. He was afraid, so he closed his mouth and waited silently.

Chang Lian was indeed afraid that his parents didn't want him anymore. He had never thought about leaving home. In the past two years, his parents occupied a very important place in his heart. He was afraid of going back to the time when his parents didn't care about him. He was used to his father's education and his mother's care. He regretted it. He regretted his arrogance.

Boss Zhou stood inside the gate, calculating the time in his mind and listening carefully. Fortunately, Chang Lian had not left. When the time came, he opened the gate and said to the soaking wet Chang Lian, "Go in."

Chang Lian wiped the rain off his face and asked happily, "Did mother open the door?"

Seeing that only Dong's skirt was wet, Zhou Lao Da thought that Chang Lian loved his wife, but he also wanted to make her look bad. This time he really became more savvy and looked at things more than just the surface. "Well, let me remind you, just now you were leaving, and mother said you didn't have to come back."

Chang Lian's smile faded, "Thank you, brother."

Boss Zhou closed the door and said, "Let's go back to the backyard. I need to rest too."

Chang Lian: "Yes."

Mrs. Dong opened her eyes wide, somewhat unbelieving what she heard. But when she thought of her mother-in-law who had never seen through the situation, and imagined her husband's reaction, her heart was in her throat. She felt that she was doomed and was afraid.

Zhulan saw Changlian and Dongshi walking towards the main room from the kitchen door and said, "Tell me what you want to say. Your father is taking a bath."

Chang Lian just noticed his mother was in the kitchen. He quickly walked to the kitchen door and knelt down, "Mom, I am wrong."

Zhulan didn't like the fact that ancient children would kneel down whenever they made a mistake, no matter how big or small. "Okay, there's hot water in the pot, you guys can wash up and take a rest!"

After saying that, Zhulan took the umbrella and went back to the main room without looking at Changlian and Dong again.

Mrs. Dong waited for her mother-in-law to leave, her heart pounding. She had seen her mother-in-law smiling and kind many times, but this was the first time she saw her mother-in-law with a cold face. She was also overwhelmed by her aura just now, and she was nervous. "Husband, has mother-in-law forgiven us?"

Chang Lian didn't know either. He didn't know much about his mother. The most he remembered was that she taught and amused his sister-in-law. The rest of the time, his mother was cheerful. He stood up and said, "Let's wash up first."

Mrs. Dong got up and went into the kitchen. She smelled the strong scent of ginger and was stunned for a moment. "Mom made ginger soup."

Chang Lian's eyes turned red. His mother was angry because she was concerned about his health. She even boiled some hot water for him. Chang Lian's voice became hoarse. "Yes."

Zhulan didn't know that Chang Lian was so moved that he was about to cry. She made the ginger soup simply because she didn't want Chang Lian and Dong to get sick. In ancient times, minor illnesses could become major illnesses. If a family was infected, the whole family would suffer, especially the child Mingrui, who was not very old, so it was better to be careful.

As for hot water, this is what she specially boiled.

Zhulan returned to the room and Zhou Shuren was drying his hair after washing it. "Put it in?"

"Well, don't go out and pour the bath water. Let the elders do it tomorrow."

Zhou Shuren paused while wiping his hair. "Continue tomorrow?"

Zhulan nodded, "Yes."

The leather is loose, it’s better to tighten it!
