The three of them called the Zhu family’s old house directly.

The person who answered the phone was Zhu Chuang. Facing their father, the three brothers immediately behaved themselves.

Zhu Chuang first asked about the family situation, and as a father he showed concern for the lives of his three sons. Finally, he asked indirectly about his daughter-in-law's situation.

"Is your sister-in-law used to being at home? Your eldest brother is not at home, so you should take better care of her and don't be naughty and cause trouble and involve your sister-in-law."

Zhu Chuang knew his son very well, and that was why he was worried about this.

The three brothers passed the phone to me, I passed it to you, and finally it was put into Zhu Weiming's hands.

Zhu Weiming answered his father's questions obediently and told him what they did for his sister-in-law every day.

Zhu Chuang on the other end of the phone was very satisfied, "Yes, men should take care of women. This is the family tradition of our Zhu family."

Zhu Weiming agreed obediently and then mentioned that he wanted to talk to Zhu Weidong.

Zhu Chuang said wait a minute and hung up the phone. The three brothers heard their father calling them "big brother" and winked at each other.

When he heard the phone was picked up, Zhu Weiyue immediately grabbed the phone and said, "Brother, have you given your salary to your sister-in-law?"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Weidong asked.

Zhu Weiyue told her about what happened during the game today, "We want to invite you, but it will definitely hurt your sister-in-law's feelings, so we want to ask you, because we are afraid that your sister-in-law has little money in her pocket and is still trying to support herself."

The three were relieved when they heard that the wages had been paid. They talked about what happened on the basketball court in vivid detail.

The three men didn't know that Zhu Chuang had asked his son to answer the phone, so they just put the phone on speaker. Everyone in the room heard what the three men said, even Mr. Zhu who came in later.

"You guys go eat tomorrow and let your sister-in-law pay for it." After listening to them, Zhu Weidong gave some instructions and asked them if they were okay. He hung up the phone after hearing that they were fine.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhu Chuang said with a smile, "I was worried that Xiaoling would feel restrained at home. Now that I hear that they get along well, I feel relieved."

The daughter-in-law was able to play basketball with the sons and even won.

OK.

Zhu Chuang didn't say anything, but the smile on his face couldn't lie; you could tell he was in a good mood.

"Dad, are you relieved now?" Zhu Chuang was obviously showing off to his father.

Mr. Zhu hummed, then said to Zhu Weidong beside him, "Let's go to Quanjude. Call your uncle Wang and ask him to reserve a big room for you. I'll pay for it."

Zhu Weidong said, "Grandpa, Ji Ling is treating everyone to a meal, so let her pay for it herself."

"What do you mean you have to pay for it yourself? It's okay for me to spend money on my granddaughter-in-law. If you are asked to call me, then call me. If others say something sour, it's just sour grapes."

Zhu Chuang also taught his son, "Learn from this. Xiaoling needs to be ambitious, but she married into our Zhu family and people look up to her without any ambition. This shows that she is not bad. Besides, after getting married, a woman's confidence is given by the man and the husband's family. No matter what time, you must support her and stand by her side without any reason. Do you understand?"

Zhu Weidong carefully pondered the words of his grandfather and father, and kept them in mind, "I understand."

Seeing that he was studying seriously, the two of them were satisfied and let him go.

Mrs. Zhu was resting on the kang. When she heard what her husband had learned, she smiled and said, "You and Zhu Chuang are right. You should teach him how to love his wife. What if his wife can't stand it and runs away if he is so cold?"

Zhu Weidong had already followed his grandfather's instructions and called Uncle Wang. When Uncle Wang heard that his wife was bringing friends over for dinner, he told him to leave it to him and not to worry.

Before going to bed at night, Mrs. Zhu called her grandson, "Is your father-in-law back? Bring some things over to see him tomorrow. Xiaoling is not here, so you have to visit her more often. It can be seen that Xiaoling and her father are very close."

Zhu Weidong agreed, "I'll go tomorrow morning."

"Okay, the martial arts will be here in the next two days, so you should go to work. You can't delay your work."

Zhu Weidong said there was no rush and went back to rest.

The next morning, after Zhu Weidong had breakfast, he went to the agricultural machinery family compound with his hands full of nutritional supplements sent by others at home.

A female voice was heard shouting from inside, followed by the sound of footsteps. Soon, the door opened from the inside with a creaky sound.

Xu Fang saw Zhu Weidong was stunned for a moment, and said coldly, "Come in."

People also stood aside.

Zhu Weidong called out "Mom" and went in carrying his things.

When Xu Fang was called "Mom", her body stiffened noticeably.

As if afraid of being seen by the neighbors, Zhu Weidong immediately closed the door as soon as he came in.

Ji Yong was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air. When he saw Zhu Weidong coming, he happily stood up and greeted him. Xu Fang quickly walked over and pushed him back to his chair, "Just sit down."

Zhu Weidong put the things on the table and said, "He is not a stranger, Dad, you don't have to be so polite."

Ji Yong felt a little uncomfortable being called dad all of a sudden. How could he not feel awkward when he suddenly had two sons-in-law, all of whom he had never met before?

Zhu Weidong asked Ji Yong about his recovery and asked about his family situation.

Ji Yong said yes, "This incident happened thanks to your family. Sorry for the trouble."

"We are one family, so we don't have different opinions." Zhu Weidong has a cold personality and doesn't beat around the bush. He doesn't coax people like others do.

When talking to Ji Yong, there would always be silence, and Ji Yong would always take the initiative to break the silence.

"Xiaoling has caused you a lot of trouble at your house, right?" Ji Yong was really worried about his daughter. Whenever he thought of her, he couldn't help feeling guilty.

"My mother works overtime a lot. After Xiaoling went there, my brother said someone had cooked dinner. She should go to school tomorrow."

"Xiaoling keeps everything to herself and doesn't like to speak out. You and your wife have a disagreement. You should give in to her."

"good."

Xu Fang did not sit aside, but pretended to clean the house while listening to the noise in the yard.

Seeing Zhu Weidong, who is quiet and can't coax people, his brows can't help but frown.

"Mom, why is he here?" Ji Ke came out of his room.

She had a cold these days, so she went to sleep again after breakfast. She heard someone talking in the yard, and the voice sounded unfamiliar. She got up and found it was Zhu Weidong.

"I came to see your dad." Xu Fang put away her thoughts and touched her daughter's head. "She's still a little hot. Take some medicine and lie down to sweat."

"I can't sleep. I'll go say hello to my brother-in-law."

Xu Fang opened her mouth to stop her, but found that her daughter had already gone out.

"Brother-in-law." Ji Ke called sweetly.

Zhu Weidong nodded.

Ji Ke sat down next to Ji Yong. "Brother-in-law, is your sister doing well in the capital? We haven't been able to contact her since she left. Do you have a phone at home? If you don't have a phone, an address will do. I want to write to her."

Zhu Weidong said, "Let me write down the phone number and address for you."

Ji Ke happily ran to get paper and pen, and came back handing the paper and pen to Zhu Weidong.

Zhu Weidong was writing seriously with his head down. When Ji Ke looked over, she saw Zhu Weidong's handsome profile. She was lost in thought for a moment. When Zhu Weidong handed her the paper, she took it. Every word and every stroke on the paper was clear and powerful.

A sentence flashed through Ji Ke’s mind: The handwriting reflects the character of the person.
