Shi Liu looked at the heavily guarded military compound and sighed helplessly. In fact, she really didn't want to come here, but Zhou Pan was a member of the Zhou family.
Even if she disliked the Zhou family, she couldn't just stay away from them. Otherwise, people who didn't understand would think that she was not recognized by the Zhou family and was a woman Zhou Pan was playing with. So no matter what, she couldn't avoid meeting the Zhou family this time.
Before Shi Liu even entered the door, he heard an old voice: "You little bastard, you still remember to go home!"
Zhou Pan was not afraid at all and directly carried in the local specialties sent by Lao Shi's family: "This is the local specialties sent by Lao Shi's family. Do you want it? If not, I will take it away."
These wild game delicacies were all obtained by the old Shi family from the mountain behind. It was not easy to accumulate such a large bag. If the old man didn't want them, he would just take them away. He would not let the old Shi family's hard work go to waste.
When Mr. Zhou heard the word "local specialty," he knew it was something the Shi family had brought from the mountains. He was so disgusted by it that he angrily dragged the sack over and said, "I gave it to you, kid, and you still want to keep it for yourself? Dream on!"
Shi Liu looked like an old man on the subway. Before coming, she thought Mr. Zhou was a stubborn old man, but she never expected that Mr. Zhou was actually a naughty old man. This made her serious attitude seem a little ridiculous. However, Shi Liu was relieved in the end. After all, this was Zhou Pan's biological grandfather, and their relationship could not be really strained.
When Mr. Zhou looked up and saw the girl following behind Zhou Pan, his face suddenly froze. It wasn't that he had any problem with Shi Liu. After all, he knew his grandson well. It was probably him who fell in love with the girl and pursued her. It was just that he had introduced a girl to Zhou Pan before, and although it didn't work out in the end, it was still a bit embarrassing.
"Ahem, you must be the Comrade Shi Liu that Zhou Pan mentioned. Come in and sit down."
Guard Xiao Wang, who had been worried all the time, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Ever since he learned that the eldest young master was coming with his girlfriend, he had been worried that the Zhou family grandfather and grandson would quarrel again, which would make it difficult for the people under them to do their job.
Shi Liu didn't hesitate to be polite. When Mr. Zhou asked her to come in and sit down, she actually went in and sat down.
Old Master Zhou didn't expect the little girl to be so rude, but now he understood why his eldest grandson liked her. Apart from anything else, her ability to remain calm was enough to make him look at her with admiration. Moreover, any man would be moved by such a stunning face.
Seeing his eldest grandson peeling oranges for his girlfriend with a servile look on his face, Grandpa Zhou felt a toothache. He had never enjoyed such treatment before.
"Shi Liu, I heard that you took part in the college entrance examination this year. How do you feel about it? Do you want to apply to a university in Beijing?" If Shi Liu came to Beijing to attend university, perhaps the eldest grandson would be willing to return to Beijing.
Shi Liu smiled, put down the teacup, and said, "Grandpa Zhou, I feel like I did well in the exam and should be able to get into the No. 1 Medical University in SH City." As for whether he would come to Beijing or not, he didn't say a word, which meant that he didn't want to come.
Old Master Zhou's eyes flashed. This girl's grades were indeed good, otherwise she wouldn't be so confident. It was a pity that she just refused to come to Beijing.
Zhou Pan saw through the old man's plan at a glance and sneered at the sight. He was afraid that if the old man was disappointed, Shi Liu would definitely stand on his side.
The three of them chatted for a while longer, and the other members of the Zhou family also came back. They usually didn't gather together like this, but they were mainly too curious about Comrade Shi Liu, who made Zhou Pan give up the noble lady from an aristocratic family.
Zhou Pan's parents were the first to arrive. Although Zhou's father was not very satisfied with Shi Liu, his future daughter-in-law, he was a grown man and couldn't say anything. Moreover, looking at her face, he thought he understood why his son insisted on marrying her.
Mother Zhou's face fell when she looked at Shi Liu. She was quite dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law. She originally wanted Zhou Pan to marry the niece of her eldest sister-in-law, which would strengthen the relationship and also bring her son closer to his family. However, her father-in-law did not allow it. If her son had married a lady from an aristocratic family, she would not have said anything, but her son was bewitched by a village girl.
No matter how much Zhou Pan disliked the couple, he still had to greet them when they met. This was basic etiquette: "Mom and Dad, this is my girlfriend, Shi Liu."
Shi Liu stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou!"
She couldn't call "Mom and Dad" to those two world-weary faces. If these two people were waiting for her to please them, she'd better forget it. They were not her biological parents, and she didn't eat the Zhou family's food, so how could she have the nerve to do that?
Mother Zhou was just waiting for the little village girl to call her mom and dad so that she could give her the cold shoulder. But she ended up calling her uncle and aunt. This made her feel like she had punched cotton. She felt stuck and extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, Mother Zhou snorted coldly as a response.
In comparison, Zhou's father is very polite: "Pomegranate, right? When you come to my house, it's like being at home. It's so fun."
Shi Liu smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou." As for Zhou's mother, she ignored her. After all, she was not mentally ill and was not looking for trouble.
Old Master Zhou felt a headache when he saw his daughter-in-law. It was no wonder that his eldest grandson felt that he had a problem with his vision. His eldest daughter-in-law was really not up to the standard. How could he be so blind to fall for such a thing? She was good-looking except for her face, but she had no brains at all. She was in her forties and was still being led by her parents' nose.
"My dear old man, you have a cold and your throat is sore. Since you are sick, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. I, an old man, will not keep you for dinner." The implication is that you can get out now.
Mother Zhou froze in place. It wasn't that she didn't understand what was being said, otherwise she wouldn't have been chosen by Old Man Zhou to be his eldest son's wife. But because she understood, Mother Zhou found it even more unbearable. The old man was going to kick her, his eldest son's wife, out just because she treated a little village girl badly. It was truly humiliating.
Now even Zhou Pan was stunned, and then he thought of his mother's recent actions, and realized that the old man was taking the opportunity to criticize his mother.
Zhou Pan was helpless about his biological mother. Although his biological mother in his previous life was not reliable, she was clear-headed enough to know that her own interests were tied to his. Between her mother's family and her own son, she chose her son without hesitation. His biological mother in this life was simply stupid!
So Zhou Pan pretended not to notice the look in his mother's eyes and continued to eat and drink.
Mother Zhou suddenly felt aggrieved, her eyes turned red and she wanted to cry.
This really disgusted Mr. Zhou. He was a soldier and he was very resolute. He hated people who kept their words to themselves and made people guess the most. So he would not see his eldest daughter-in-law if he could avoid it.
Mother Zhou, the eldest son's wife, has become a nuisance to everyone. It's all her own fault. Why is she being so hypocritical? (End of this chapter)
