Zhou Mingjiao had been secretly investigating, but she had no method at all. She originally wanted to go to Liu Zhe, but he wouldn't listen to her at all and instead wanted her to pay back the money.
Zhou Mingjiao was furious.
When she got home, she threw a huge tantrum, but Zhou's mother was exhausted. She was taking medicine and, hearing her youngest daughter's shouting, felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
"Alright, be quiet for a bit. Your father is already trying to figure out a solution for you. Don't go and cause trouble for Liu Zhe, the educated youth."
Zhou Mingjiao pointed at herself in disbelief, "Mom, you said I'm annoying, do you not like me anymore?"
"No," Zhou's mother just wanted to rest for a while. Now, she had handed over the cooking duties to her second son's wife.
As for the third son's wife, let's just forget about her. She's just as cunning as the third son. Putting her in your hands would be like putting a mouse in a rice jar.
The key point is that she's a woman who loves men, so she'll definitely give her third son special treatment.
The second son's wife is much better. As for the eldest son's wife, she has accepted her. She is a capable person, and she doesn't want to offend her. In any case, the eldest son was raised by her.
Zhou's mother had come to terms with it, but Zhou Mingjiao felt that her mother had changed. She had promised to love her the most, but what happened?
She felt that everyone was a liar, and she wanted to yell and scream, but no one listened to her.
She wanted to go to the provincial capital, but her father scolded her, "You better behave yourself. What else do you want to do? I'll borrow money from your uncle to pay off your debts. After that, I won't be able to manage your affairs anymore."
Mr. Zhou had to admit that none of his children could compare to his eldest son.
Is it really true that dragons beget dragons?
Mr. Zhou didn't want to think about this upsetting fact. He had originally thought his youngest daughter was promising, but the things she did were getting more and more foolish.
Zhou Mingjiao's face turned pale. "Father, what do you mean by this?"
"You still ask me what I mean? Because of you, your fourth brother's wedding has been delayed. Don't act like we've wronged you, Mingjiao. I can say with my hand on my chest that I've never wronged anyone in this family, except you."
After saying that, he left.
Zhou Mingjiao collapsed to the ground, her expression unreadable. She didn't know how she had ended up in this state.
Suddenly, she remembered that it all started when the leader went to the countryside but her sister-in-law refused to go to the fields. At that time, she felt a strange sense of urgency, but no matter what, neither her sister-in-law nor her mother agreed.
A fierce hatred erupted in Zhou Mingjiao's eyes. Thinking of the heavily pregnant Shen Banxia, she cursed in her heart that she would not be able to give birth.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhe, holding the compensation given by Zhou's father, was at a loss as to what to do.
Looking at Zhao Zhigao, who shared a room with her, she asked, "Do you think Dr. Shen would accept this money if I gave it to her?"
Zhao Zhigao countered, "What do you think?"
"No," was the answer that came to mind immediately.
"Since you already know, why ask me? By the way, what did Zhou Mingjiao want with you? I saw her crying," Zhao Zhigao thought of something.
"Nothing."
"You're really a boring person. I thought you had your eye on Zhou Mingjiao back then, but I never expected you to be completely fooled," Zhao Zhigao mocked without any politeness.
Liu Zhe, however, had no intention of paying him any attention.
Zhao Zhigao leaned closer and said, "Tell me, why does the Zhou family dote on Zhou Mingjiao so much? They're willing to pay such a large sum of money for her. Have they really not considered the feelings of their sons?"
"I have no idea".
Zhao Zhigao's lips twitched.
Believe it or not, it wasn't just the people at the educated youth compound who were gossiping about it; other families were talking about it too.
Despite the freezing weather, news still travels very quickly.
Everyone thought the Zhou family must have gone mad. They just took out over a thousand yuan like that, all for a daughter who was destined to get married. They didn't know what they were thinking.
Such big news naturally reached the other members of the Zhou family as well.
Zhou Laosan's wife was impulsive. She immediately asked Zhou's mother, "Mother, my little sister has caused such a big trouble. Why should our whole family bear the burden? Now we owe such a large debt. How are we going to live in the future?"
Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at her, "What? Do you think it's your turn to be in charge of this family?"
“Mother, although I am not the head of the household, I am still a member of the family. In the future, all the work points I work hard to earn will not only not go to me, but I will also have to pay them back to others. Now that Lao San and I are pregnant again, the baby will not even be able to wear new clothes after it is born,” Zhou Lao San’s wife said, getting angrier and angrier.
"Are you trying to cause trouble? This is something your father and I discussed. If you feel you can't stay here, then you can go back to your parents' home."
That's really too much of a bullying.
"Hmph, fine, I'll go back then. I can't stay in this house anymore," he said, and left without waiting for Zhou Laosan's attempts to stop him.
Zhou Laosan scratched his head. "Mother, my wife is pregnant."
"What? Is your wife so precious? I think you're all going to rebel now. If she wants to go back, let her go back. You're not allowed to pick her up. I want to see how long she can stay at her parents' house," Zhou's mother said angrily.
No matter what, she has cared for Zhou Mingjiao for so many years. Is it really possible for her to just abandon her like that?
"Mom, I can't do it," she said, and then chased after him.
Zhou's mother couldn't help but stomp her feet, "This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
Zhou Lao Er remained silent, and none of his family members said anything.
Even Zhou's father just silently smoked his pipe.
As for Zhou Laosi, she didn't come out to stir up hatred at the moment, but deep down, she felt it was all Zhou Mingjiao's fault.
Everyone says there are no secrets in the village, and the story of Zhou Laosan's wife going back to her parents' home and Zhou Laosan going with her has spread far and wide.
Some busybodies even went to Shen Banxia to tell her the gossip, afraid that she wouldn't know about it.
Shen Banxia twitched her lips. Had Zhou Mingjiao's status as the group's darling collapsed?
Are we no longer a loving family? How did we treat the eldest son's family before? So, it turns out we didn't harm their own interests.
Now, one by one, they've all quit.
Shen Banxia was happy to watch the show, since they were out now anyway.
As for the Zhou family, Mr. Zhou looked at Mrs. Zhou with dissatisfaction and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
Zhou's mother disagreed, "I think it's because she's spoiled. What daughter-in-law is like that?"
"Are you really planning to not rely on your sons for your old age?"
"I'd like to see if they dare. If they don't comply, I'll sue them," Zhou's mother threatened.
"You, you're so stubborn. What will you do when I see nobody talks to you?"
Zhou's mother retorted, "I still have a daughter. I'll go with him to enjoy a life of luxury from now on."
Mr. Zhou didn't want to talk to his confused wife; he was still daydreaming.
