On that day, other families in the compound went to buy rat poison. Kong Siya went out at noon the next day and heard about it. She returned home and asked her sons to buy some rat poison.
"Normally I don't worry about you guys at home, but your sister-in-law is a girl, and your brother is not around, what if she gets scared? You should pay more attention to these things in the future. Your sister-in-law left home and married into our family, so don't let her miss home."
Zhu Yaowu looked at his mother and said, "Mom, you should take off the scarf on your face first. Ji Ling has recognized you a long time ago."
Kong Siya was surprised, "Did you recognize me?"
Zhu Yaowu nodded.
But Kong Siya was happy after hearing this and said, "It seems that I left a deep impression on Xiaoling."
Seeing that his mother was unwilling to listen, Zhu Yaowu reminded her again.
Kong Siya said, "Since you are allergic, you have to pretend until the allergy period is over."
Zhu Yaowu: It’s up to you.
After breakfast, Ji Ling went to the bookstore. Zhu Weiming was also going to school this year and wanted to buy some professional books, so the two went together.
Zhu Weiyue and Zhu Heping went out to meet their classmates, leaving only the mother and son at home.
Kong Siya talked about the call she received from her husband this morning, "Your father said that he and your grandfather will be back in a few days. He has to go on a business trip to Hong Kong City, so he will go there directly. Your grandfather has an important project and was asked to supervise it, so he won't come home. I'm also busy in the hospital, so you should pay more attention to your sister-in-law."
Zhu Yaowu raised his eyebrows, "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush?"
Kong Siya sat upright, "Did Xiaoling's family call? If so, please pay more attention to her mood. Your grandmother told me on the phone that she has a hard life, and it makes me sad to hear that."
"Got it." Zhu Yaowu agreed immediately, fearing that his mother would cry.
Kong Siya smiled and said, "So your father wants you to go to school."
Zhu Yaowu jumped up immediately, "We agreed to take a leave of absence until the end of the year. We'll talk after the New Year. The third, fourth, and fifth brothers are all here. I'll return my ticket to grandma tomorrow."
Kong Siya's face sank, "You just agreed..."
"I promised to take care of me, but I didn't promise to stay at home." Zhu Yaowu would not be let off.
Kong Siya gritted her teeth and could only watch her son leave the house triumphantly.
At the same time at the He family, Xu Yan heard her daughter crying as she finished telling him what happened yesterday. She said with a gloomy face, "There's no need to talk about this anymore. You were wrong first. Just take this as a lesson."
"Nonsense, why do you want to provoke the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family? You look down on her because she comes from a small place. I think she is better than you. At least she is not snobbish." Old Master He was so angry that he slammed the ground with his cane. "The elders of the Zhu family don't know about this. If they knew, where would I put my face?"
"Grandpa, I'm just curious. Besides, I always went through the balcony before, and Aunt Zhu never said anything to me."
"The past is the past. How can this incident be compared to the past? Your motives are not pure."
Xu Yan is aloof and always compares herself with Kong Siya secretly. Unfortunately, her background is not as good as Kong Siya's. In her career, Kong Siya is the director of a hospital, while she is just a singer.
Speaking of men, although Zhu Chuang is just a businessman, how much wealth he has is a secret and no one knows. But the fact that his business has reached Hong Kong City shows how powerful he is.
Her man is a leader, but compared with the Zhu family, he is at a disadvantage.
Kong Siya gave birth to five sons in one go, and she only had one daughter. Although her father-in-law never mentioned this, she could feel that he was dissatisfied with her.
The daughter was a disappointment. Not only did she fail the college entrance exam and had to repeat her senior year, but she also spent all day chasing after Zhu's son, becoming a laughing stock in the compound.
As the things went through her mind one by one, Xu Yan's mood became worse and worse. "From today on, you are not allowed to go out. You must study at home until school starts."
Mr. He agreed with this, "Listen to your mother, study hard at home, and try to get into a good university next year."
He Tong originally wanted to ask his family members to help him, but when he told them about the incident, he was not only scolded but also confined to his home.
Xu Yan was a noble person, and her daughter was stupid and dumb, so she couldn't say anything else. She just wanted to wait for her husband to come back and take care of her.
It was different for the Fang family. Fang Yuan came back from surgery late at night and was so tired that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting each other. As a result, he was scared by his daughter, and then by the mice on the bed. He still had a headache when he woke up the next morning.
"What's going on?" Fang Yuan didn't believe that there would be so many mice running onto the bed.
Chang Ya knew it in her heart, but she would not admit it. "Mom, I don't know why the mice got on the bed."
"I ask you, and you ask me, who should I ask?" Fang Yuan had a headache and was in a bad mood.
Father Fang put down the newspaper and said, "Okay, why are you yelling so early in the morning? A rat is not a big deal. I'll go buy some medicine later."
Fang's mother put the hot milk on the table and said, "Your father is right. It's not just a few mice. Why are you yelling at the child?"
Fang Yuan was eating breakfast and said in a bad mood, "Don't help her to cover up the truth. I have never seen a mouse running on the bed since I was a child. Who knows if she has offended those people from the Zhu family?"
The four ghosts of the Zhu family, whenever something strange happens in the compound, the first thing that comes to mind is them.
Fang's mother's face changed. "We live in the same courtyard, why would they do that to Chang Ya? Don't think about it. Hurry up and finish your meal and go to work."
Fang Yuan looked at Fang's mother suspiciously, "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
"What could I possibly be hiding from you?" Fang's mother didn't dare tell anyone about yesterday's blunder. Her daughter was too proud to leave her alone for half a year.
Fang Yuan couldn't figure out what was wrong, and since he had a headache, he didn't speculate anymore. Instead, he talked about the Zhu family, "Have you seen Zhu Weidong's wife? How is she?"
"They have a new daughter-in-law. It's no big deal for us to go and see her. It's not like we're visiting a village." Fang's mother urged, "Eat quickly."
The topic ended there. When Fang Yuan went out, Chang Ya said that she had made an appointment with a friend to go to the bookstore, and followed him out.
In the bookstore, Chang Ya met Pang Cong and told him what happened last night with grievance, "It must be the four ghosts of the Zhu family, they are too mean."
"You mentioned this. I'll take you to see someone." Chong Cong led Chang Ya inside, and finally stopped beside a bookcase. He pointed at the figure in front and said, "That's Zhu Weidong's wife. I see she came with Zhu Weiming. Zhu Weiming met his classmates and left."
Chang Ya watched from a distance.
She had been to the hospital and the guesthouse, together with Zhu Yaowu.
It turns out that this is the person who married Zhu Weidong.
Thinking of this person who came from a small place and was protected by the Zhu family, Chang Ya lowered her head and said, "He is so weak, he must be fine, right?"
Chong Cong smiled and said, "Just go and ask and you'll know."
