Zhou Mingjiao took the initiative to comfort the elderly couple, "Dad, Mom, I'm fine now, so please don't blame my sister-in-law. She can't treat every illness." At this moment, she didn't forget to soothe the elderly couple.
"As for her, I think she doesn't consider herself a member of the Zhou family at all. Your older brother is an ingrate too. So what if he didn't get some food? Is it necessary to hold such a grudge? You can't raise an ungrateful child," Zhou's mother cursed.
Mr. Zhou glared at her, and Mrs. Zhou realized she had said something inappropriate and stopped muttering.
Zhao Di secretly pursed her lips, while Li Erya next to her squeezed her hand and gently shook her head.
“Mother, look, Mrs. Zhou and the others have come to the village. Shouldn’t we invite them over for a meal? After all, she’s the wife of my uncle’s former boss,” Zhou Mingjiao said deliberately, thinking of her own plans.
Mr. Zhou looked at her with a gratified expression. "That's right, we should invite them over. But what about the hostage situation?" These days, you can't just invite people whenever you want.
Even if he were the captain, it would be difficult.
Zhou Mingjiao said thoughtfully, "Dad, isn't my eldest brother at work?"
Mr. Zhou nodded.
When Zhou Mingqian got off work, he was stopped by his father before he even got home.
He stated his purpose directly: "Boss, give me some of your meat tickets, I'll pay you back when I have some money at home."
Seeing Zhou Mingqian remain silent, Zhou's father's expression changed. "What? Do you think that just because you've moved out, I, as your father, can't control you anymore? Or have you heard some gossip outside?"
Zhou Mingqian, thinking of his and his wife's speculations, deliberately said, "What does it matter whether I hear it or not? In your hearts, haven't you already considered me as someone who doesn't exist? Or rather, is my appearance just a stepping stone?"
Mr. Zhou looked around cautiously and lowered his voice, "Don't talk nonsense to me. What stepping stone? You are my own son, Zhou Qianjin."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingqian instantly understood.
Mr. Zhou also realized what was happening and stopped pretending. "When did you find out?"
"Not much time."
"No matter what, you were raised by me and your mother," Zhou Mingqian did not deny this point.
However, he didn't want to be taken advantage of. "My grandparents raised you and your uncle, and even helped you get married and have children."
Zhou's father's eyes darkened. Damn it, who told him?
Is that all you want to do to distance yourself from this relationship?
Is this brat afraid they'll take advantage of him? He's trying to tell him that although they raised him, his grandparents also raised him and his older brother, and even helped them get married and have children.
"Alright, alright, alright, I really didn't expect that I would raise such an ungrateful child. Fine, fine, from now on you go your way and I'll go mine." After saying that, he left.
Zhou Mingqian didn't smile either. No matter what, for more than 20 years, he had regarded them as his own parents. Now that it was confirmed, although it wasn't the end of the world, he still felt bad.
After returning home, Zhou Mingqian did not hide anything.
"Did he just admit it like that?"
After calming down, Zhou Mingqian also began to feel something was wrong. "Yes, I also find it strange. He didn't refute anything at all, and I always feel like he was taking the opportunity to clarify things."
"Forget it, let's not think about things we can't figure out for now. Like you said yourself, you don't owe them anything, so you don't need to feel guilty about it."
"Okay," Zhou Mingqian thought, thankfully he still had his wife and children.
The Zhou family.
Zhou's mother stepped forward and looked at Zhou's furious father, "What's wrong with you? Weren't you going to find that brat, the eldest son? Where's the ticket?"
"Don't even mention it, that brat already knows."
"What? Which big mouth let this out? Damn it, does he never see us when he's in the dark? But even so, he's still someone we raised." The last sentence was whispered directly into Zhou's father's ear.
At this point, Zhou's father became even angrier, "What do you think they're saying? They're saying that even my uncle and I were raised by his own grandparents."
Zhou's mother was dumbfounded, "How did he even know about this?"
"This matter was never a secret, it's just that no one has brought it up. Do you think that old man Zhang Accountant has always been dissatisfied with me? It's because he feels that even if I change my surname, I'm not a proper member of the Zhou family."
"How can you calculate it like that? That ingrate is truly an ingrate," Zhou's mother said, dissatisfied.
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. Does that brat think this will solve everything?" Zhou's father said, his face dark.
Zhou's mother whispered, "Old man, you... you won't tell anyone about that, will you?"
Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes at his wife. "I'm not that stupid. If he can't get away with it, do you think we can?"
"So what do you plan to do?"
"We'll talk about it later. By the way, remember to keep an eye on the dinner invitation," after all, she is the wife of the elder brother's old leader.
Zhou's mother spread her hands and said, "How can we cook without food? You know we have so many mouths to feed. They open their eyes to eat."
"Alright, go find someone else to exchange some, but remember to be careful."
"Alright, I know," Zhou's mother said, feeling quite annoyed by the constant invitations. "It's troublesome enough as it happens every day."
But since both the old man and his daughter said that, there must be some truth to it.
That damned ingrate, how dare he say that? Don't his grandparents belong to his own husband's maternal uncles?
Isn't it only right to raise two nephews?
Zhou's mother was preoccupied with her own dissatisfaction, completely forgetting that if that's the case, why should they bother with it?
It can only be said that when a person's mind is biased, everything they see will appear biased.
Zhou Mingjiao was dissatisfied when she learned that she had not received the meat ticket, but she also knew that her older brother was not someone who could be easily fooled.
Thinking of Liu Zhe at the educated youth settlement, Zhou Mingjiao originally planned to look for him, but then she thought again that work was more important.
Once she has a job, will her family still dare to treat her badly?
During this period of time, she noticed that neither her third brother nor her fourth brother was as kind to her as they used to be.
Lately, my attention has been focused on Liu Zhe, and I haven't paid attention to my family for the time being. However, my third and fourth brothers are also incompetent, especially my fourth brother.
He still misses Xiuzhu and wanted to ask his uncle for help. If she hadn't stopped him quickly, he would have gone.
That Xiuzhu is no good either, and Fourth Brother is a complete idiot.
Liu Zhe, who was being thought of by Zhou Mingjiao, was completely dumbfounded when he saw the letter his father sent.
What should we do? How are we going to explain this to Comrade Zhou Mingjiao?
How could this be? Did something happen at home? For a moment, Liu Zhe couldn't even think about asking about work.
