After Shen Banxia finished her acupuncture and ate, she asked Zhou Mingqian to decoct the medicine for her grandmother to drink.
As it was getting dark, Zhou Mingqian suggested that his grandmother stay there.
Grandma shook her head. "Your mother has already laid out all the bedding. Just bring it to me." She then looked at Chen Banxia with a smile on her face. "Banxia, take care of yourself. Grandma will go over now and come back tomorrow."
His kind and gentle demeanor completely concealed his initial neglect of Shen Banxia.
Shen Banxia nodded. At the very beginning, she had noticed her grandmother's dislike for her, and she could even guess some of her grandmother's thoughts.
He just felt that Zhou Mingqian moved out because his wife had encouraged him to.
In the old man's eyes, his eldest grandson was never wrong, and the one who was wrong must be his granddaughter-in-law.
The old lady was over seventy, and she didn't want to argue about it, so she didn't say a word at the beginning.
The Zhou family.
Looking at her mother, who had been brought over by Zhou Mingqian, Zhou's mother was about to ask a question, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.
After Zhou Mingqian left, Zhou's mother couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, how was it? What's the eldest son thinking?"
Now that Zhou's mother is feeling better, she can't stand her own daughter anymore. "What are you thinking? The couple is living a good life now, why are you meddling? I think you've had too many good days, you just have to go and cause trouble."
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Zhou's mother asked, puzzled. Her granddaughter was already so grown up, yet she was still being scolded.
"I'm perfectly fine. You don't need to worry about Mingqian's affairs anymore. Besides, his wife is a good person, so don't cause any trouble or try to find him a different wife." Grandma Wang now thinks Banxia is the best.
Zhou's mother was dumbfounded. "Mom, how did you change your mind? Didn't you also think that his wife was no good? You used to be so good to the eldest son. If you had spoken to him, he would have definitely considered it carefully. Even if he didn't want to, he would have helped his younger brother and the others."
Yes, Zhou's mother was planning to find a new wife for Zhou Mingqian. Both he and Zhou's father believed that the reason Zhou Mingqian had become so disobedient was because he had married Chen Banxia.
So, Mr. Zhou had his mother bring his mother-in-law over.
Regardless of the circumstances, Zhou Mingqian would definitely have to consider his maternal grandmother's feelings.
"Alright, I don't even want to talk to you anymore. Look at the things you've done. You still have the nerve to ask him for help? Do you think I really don't know? You were the one who kicked Mingqian's wife out, and you didn't even give her any food. Now that she's doing well, you want to take advantage of her. Where is the logic in that?" Grandma Wang unleashed her full fury.
Zhou's mother was almost brought to tears by the scolding; she was already a grandmother.
"Mother, didn't you agree at the beginning? Why have you changed your mind now?" Zhou's mother couldn't understand.
"What do you mean, 'agree'? I'm just going to see my eldest grandson. You can't just say things like that!" Grandma Wang was anxious. If Banxia found out, she would be in big trouble.
Although she is old, her life is getting better and better, and she wants to live a few more years.
Now, anyone who tries to stop me from living a few more years is my enemy.
Zhou's mother was confused. "Mother, I, you, you've confused me."
“I think you’ve really lost your mind. You don’t want your eldest son, but you dote on your little daughter. You can spoil her if you want, but at least you should look after your son. Once they all turn their backs on you, I wonder how you’ll take care of yourself in your old age,” Grandma Wang said earnestly, not understanding what her daughter was thinking.
"Mom, why don't you understand? You'll definitely be living the good life with my youngest daughter from now on. Only with my youngest daughter can I enjoy happiness. Don't say anything bad about her anymore, I don't like hearing it."
Grandma Wang poked her angrily, "You, you're so stubborn. I think you'll regret it later. You've pushed away the eldest son who's supposed to be the head of the household. I don't know what you two were thinking."
"He's not, he is..." Remembering the old man's instructions, she finally stopped talking.
“What do you mean, ‘not’?” Grandma Wang’s hearing was very good.
No, you misheard.
"Wang Cuihua, do you think your mother is deaf? Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened here? You're using me as a tool. If it weren't for seeing my eldest grandson, do you think I would listen to you? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll have your father come and deal with you."
Zhou's mother was about to cry. If she were to be beaten at her age, she would truly have no face to live with.
But can this be told to anyone?
That's definitely not possible. If she knew Zhou Mingqian was her older sister's son, given how biased her mother was, who knows what she would do.
I won't say, I absolutely won't say.
"Well, you've really grown wings now. I, your mother, can't even talk to you anymore, can I?"
"No, Mother, it's really nothing."
"Fine, fine, take it back to me. I can't stay here anymore."
Zhou's mother was almost begging for mercy. It was getting dark, and if she sent her mother back now, her father would definitely beat her with a stick.
She doesn't care whether she's already a grandmother or not.
"Mom, please don't worry about this anymore. I'll talk to you about it later, okay? I'll send it back to you tomorrow, alright?"
"No, I'm planning to stay here for a few more days." Having tasted the sweetness of it, Grandma Wang was unwilling to go back so soon.
Thinking of this, I thought, "Oh right, tomorrow you should have your fourth son go and give a message to his grandfather, saying that I plan to stay with you for a few more days. Also, have him bring me some money, um, fifty."
Zhou's mother was dumbfounded. "Mother, why are you going to stay for a few more days?"
"What? You don't even want me to stay for a few days? Well, if I had known it would be like this, I would have been better off not having you in the first place," Grandma Wang was furious.
"Mom, I really didn't mean that. I was just worried that you might not tell me if something happened to you," Zhou's mother said, feeling that asking her mother to come over was a mistake.
“What could possibly happen to me? I’ve just encountered good fortune. You better watch your step from now on and don’t go looking for trouble with Mingqian and his wife. If I find out, I’ll have your father deal with you.”
Zhou's mother was on the verge of tears. Not only had her good plan fallen apart, but now, she had directly found a powerful backer for her eldest son and his wife.
That evening, when Zhou's mother told Zhou's father about this, Zhou's father was speechless.
"Didn't you ask what happened?"
