On the Zhou family's side.
Zhou Daqing and Zhou Zhuoshi gave Zhou Yeshi another lesson, and also warned the rest of the family that anyone who dared to talk nonsense in front of Yang Cui would be kicked out!
Zhou Ye was so frightened that she repeatedly said she dared not.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Daqing and Zhou Zhuoshi began to arrange a banquet for Yang Cui and the An family.
Knowing that Yang Cui was coming to eat, the Zhou family members also took the initiative to bring chicken, duck, fish and meat from their homes to Zhou Daqing's house. Some women even came to ask if they needed any help.
"It's not like we're having a banquet, why do we need so many dishes? Take them all back."
Zhou Daqing sent all his clansmen back home, and they didn't take any of his belongings.
Zhou Baishi thought her father-in-law was extremely foolish. Wouldn't it be better to keep all the chickens, ducks, and fish for himself?
"mother……"
Zhou Xiaomei is back.
A single word, "Mother," interrupted her thoughts.
Seeing that her daughter looked unwell, Zhou Baishi quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xiaomei burst into tears immediately.
Zhou Baishi hurriedly pulled Zhou Xiaomei back to her room and asked in a low voice, "Did the Ge family bully you?"
"Waaaaah... That bastard Ge Yunzhu, he got together with some slutty widow in town, and she's pregnant, waaaaah..."
"What?"
Zhou Bai was so excited she almost jumped up: "Is there some mistake?"
"How could there be a mistake? There's no mistake, I saw it all! That shameless, slutty widow was about to poop on my neck! Waaaaah..."
“Ge Yunzhu is such an honest man…” Zhou Baishi still found it hard to believe.
"Honest my foot!" Zhou Xiaomei cursed, saying fiercely, "Mom, I can't swallow this! Call your uncles and aunts, and help me beat that slutty widow up!"
Zhou Bai was furious!
How long have they been married?
Just as Zhou Xiaomei said, this matter cannot be left like this. We must take some people to teach that scoundrel a lesson!
Zhou Baishi walked out of the room with a long face, intending to discuss things with her family, but she saw Xiaoli happily showing off the hairpin Yang Cui had given her to Zhou Xiaozao, which made Zhou Baishi feel even more upset.
"It's just a hairpin, what's there to show off?"
Zhou Baishi suddenly lost her temper with her, which startled Xiao Li, who was at a loss for what to do.
Whenever Zhou Baishi thought about how Zhou Xiaotao had stolen Zhou Xiaomei's marriage and married An Xiaohai, obtaining the gold leaf and gold bracelet, she would be furious.
At this point, she would never admit that she was the one who looked down on the An family for being poor!
She rushed over, snatched Zhou Xiaoli's hairpin, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it several times.
"Waaaaah..." Zhou Xiaoli wailed, pushing Zhou Bai's back and squatting down to pick up the hairpin, only to find that the smooth white pearl had fallen off...
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The rest of the Zhou family rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
At this moment, Zhou Bai felt a little guilty and secretly regretted that she couldn't resist. If it were only Zhou Xiaoli, she could simply deny it, but there was also Zhou Xiaozao by her side.
"Mother, my third aunt snatched my hairpin, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it several times. It's all broken now." Zhou Xiaoli was heartbroken.
Zhou Qinshi looked at Zhou Baishi in shock: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
"It's definitely jealousy," Zhou Ye said with a hint of schadenfreude.
Zhou Xiaoli got the hairpin, and to be honest, she was jealous. Plus, she had just been scolded, so she wished the second and third wives would fight each other.
"That's not what I meant, Mother, Second Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand, I... I was just confused from anger." Zhou Baishi quickly explained, "Xiao Mei is back. She said that Ge Yunzhu has hooked up with a widow, and that widow is pregnant. I got angry and... Xiao Li, it was Third Aunt who acted impulsively. Third Aunt apologizes to you."
"What did you say? Ge Yunzhu cheated on his wife?" Zhou Zhuoshi and the others were shocked.
The revelation made by Zhou Baishi instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Xiaomei, come out here. Is what you said true?" The Zhou family's eyes all fell on Zhou Xiaomei.
Zhou Xiaomei felt extremely embarrassed when her husband cheated on her and she faced questions from her entire family. However, she still needed their help, so she had no choice but to honestly tell them what had happened.
“Rich men are all bad,” Zhou Yeshi said. “If you had chosen An Xiaohai back then, none of this would have happened.”
"Shut up!" Zhou Daqing, Zhou Zhuoshi, and Zhou Baishi shouted in unison!
"If you think my Zhou family is living too well, then go back to your Ye family!" Zhou Zhuoshi cursed angrily.
"I didn't mean anything by it..."
Madam Zhou Qin said sternly, "You know perfectly well whether you mean something else! Now that Xiao Tao and Xiao Hai have a child, you'd better watch your words from now on! If I hear you saying anything like that again, I won't be polite!"
Zhou Ye's words were not meant to sow discord; she simply wanted to stab the second wife in the back.
"What does the Ge family mean now? Do they want to let that widow into the family or what?" Zhou Zhuoshi asked.
"The Ge family hasn't made a statement yet, but judging from their behavior, they'll probably agree." Zhou Xiaomei was furious. She didn't have any children yet, and now that the widow had entered the family, if she gave birth to a son, he would be the eldest son. What was she going to do?
"He wouldn't dare!" Zhou Hong roared. "If the Ge family dares to bring that widow into their home, see how I deal with them! Don't forget, the village head is our relative. She knows many high-ranking officials; dealing with a few troublemakers is a piece of cake for her!"
Who would dare to disrespect Yang Cui? Even if General Cen is gone, Yang Cui still has the Su family as her backer.
There's no harm in using readily available resources, but the thought of turning down the marriage with the An family and missing out on becoming relatives with Yang Cui made Zhou Hongfa's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys ache.
