The sudden change in the atmosphere made Zhou Zhigang, who was the first to ask the question, very embarrassed and his face became unsightly.
He knew that his eldest son was not the kind of person who didn't want children. As for the inconvenience mentioned by his eldest son, he didn't quite believe it, so he couldn't help but wonder if Hao Dongmei didn't want children.
But he couldn't ask these words, which made him feel uncomfortable.
When he turned his eyes and saw Zhou Chen who was busy eating, his mood became even worse.
"Celebrating the Chinese New Year is a great thing, but if you can't go back to your own home to celebrate the Chinese New Year, half of the joy will be lost."
As soon as he said these words, everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone. Hao Dongmei lowered her head. Not being able to give birth was her biggest pain, but this was something she couldn't say out loud.
Zhou Chen glanced at Zhou Zhigang. This old man couldn't get any favors from his boss, so he turned around and started targeting him again. Is he so easy to bully?
Li Suhua glared at Zhou Zhigang dissatisfied again: "You can't talk properly. Home is where we have relatives. We are all here, and this is our home."
"Yohe."
Zhou Zhigang looked at his old woman in surprise: "You, an uneducated old woman, can actually say such a thing, who did you learn this from?"
Li Suhua said with a proud face: "That's right, I am now a famous poet and writer. As a mother, of course I have to learn from it."
"Hey, I'll give you a few compliments, you're still in high spirits."
Zhou Bingyi smiled and said: "Dad, our mother is called Jinzhuzhechi."
Zhou Zhigang laughed twice, and suddenly asked Zhou Chen with a stern expression: "Bingkun, let me ask you, are you really the poet whose pen name is Zhou Chen? Are you deliberately pretending to be someone else?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in the family changed, and Zhou Chen silently put down his chopsticks.
"Dad, in your eyes, am I this kind of person?"
Zhou Zhigang also put down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression: "As a father, I know very well what kind of person you are. In just two years after we left, you went from a student who didn't finish the first grade of junior high school to a national
Famous poet and writer, don’t you think I should doubt you?”
Zhou Chen asked again: "Then if it were eldest brother and Zhou Rong, would you still be suspicious?"
Such rhetorical questions made Zhou Zhigang furious: "I'm asking you now, so you just have to tell me, are you pretending to be someone else?"
Zhou Chen looked disappointed. Although he didn't have much hope for this strict father, after Zhou Zhigang came back, he was suspicious of him and targeted him, which made him really disappointed.
"I said it, you didn't believe it, and now you ask me to say it again. Do you believe it after I say it this time?"
Zhou Zhigang slapped the table angrily: "What's your attitude? This is how you talk to me. We haven't seen each other for several years. Do you still think of me as your father?"
"Wow!"
Suddenly, Zhou Rui was frightened to tears.
Seeing Zhou Rui crying, Zhou Zhigang felt regretful, but when he saw his youngest son's appearance, he remained cruel and said nothing.
Li Suhua scolded angrily: "My father, what are you doing? Why are you so angry at the wonderful New Year's Eve dinner? You're scaring the child."
Zhou Zhigang still kept a straight face and said nothing. Zhou Bingyi wanted to speak, but Hao Dongmei reached out and pulled him to signal him to stop talking.
Zhou Chen was also annoyed, and he whispered to Zheng Juan: "Take Ruirui and Guangming back to the room to play first."
Zheng Juan was a little scared: "Bingkun..."
"It's okay, go ahead."
Zheng Juan had no choice but to obey Zhou Chen's words, apologized to Zhou Zhigang and others, and took Zheng Guangming and Zhou Rui back to the room.
After all the children left, Zhou Chen looked at Zhou Zhigang expressionlessly.
"Dad, I don't know why you are so angry because I married Zheng Juan without your consent? But I remember that Zhou Rong went all the way to your province for Feng Huacheng without telling you.
, and even said that she would sever ties with her family. Her behavior is much more serious than the things I did, and it embarrasses you even more, right?"
Hearing Zhou Chen talk about Zhou Rong, Zhou Zhigang turned pale and said angrily: "I'm talking about you now, what are you talking about your sister for?"
Zhou Chen: "Don't you understand why I said something about her? Zhou Rong did something like that. As a father, you disregarded your face and principles, put down your body, and went to your province in person to reconcile with Zhou Rong. How did you end up with me?
Here, all you have left is blame and anger?"
"I just don't understand, why? Why can you forgive Zhou Rong, but you can't forgive me? Apart from making you angry and making my mother almost blind from tears, what else has Zhou Rong done?"
"As for me, I stay at home with my mother, and I have been with her every day for seven years. To put it bluntly, I am not more filial than Zhou Rong? I am not more sensible than her? Why do you treat me like this when I come to your place? You tell me
Me, why?"
Zhou Chen's series of questions made Zhou Zhigang's chest rise and fall with anger, and he looked at Zhou Chen with trembling lips, which scared Li Suhua and kept patting him on the back to relax.
Zhou Bingyi had already seen Zhou Chen's talkativeness, and he didn't dare to persuade him at this moment, for fear that Zhou Chen would involve him.
As for Hao Dongmei, she lowered her head like a quail, not daring to make any movement.
"Are you questioning me? After all, I am your father, and you are mine. When will it be your turn to teach me a lesson?"
Zhou Zhigang angrily yelled at Zhou Chen.
"You are you, your sister is your sister, why do you want to compare with your sister? What kind of sins did your sister suffer outside? You don't know how to feel sorry for her, and you still say such things, that is your biological sister, yours
Where did you put your conscience?"
Zhou Chen's expression became unbelievable. Even though he was an old fox who had lived for many years, he was still shocked by Zhou Zhigang's words.
Not to mention him, even Zhou Bingyi swallowed his saliva. He knew that his father was partial to Zhou Rong, but he never expected that he would be so partial.
Zhou Rong is his biological sister, but he also agrees with Zhou Chen's words and feels that Zhou Rong has gone too far. She did such a thing, and Zhou Zhigang actually made her family feel sorry for her?
Hao Dongmei was also speechless. She had known Zhou Bingyi for many years and knew a little about Zhou Rong.
As a woman, she admired Zhou Rong's brave pursuit of love, but psychologically she did not agree with Zhou Rong's approach because it was wrong.
On the contrary, she has had more contact with Zhou Chen and Zheng Juan in the past two days. She feels that Zhou Chen is very measured in his actions, has a clear mind, and is very polite to her.
Not to mention Zheng Juan, she is definitely a woman with a good temper and personality.
At this moment, she realized how partial this father-in-law was.
Zhou Chen felt tired, what else could he say to such a slave girl.
In fact, he was still very strange. Although Zhou Zhigang in the TV series was also partial to Zhou Rong, he did not ignore right from wrong. Why did it become like this at this moment?
Is it because he said something bad about Zhou Rong and touched his inverse scale?
"Dad, since you said that, it may be that I really have no conscience, but Zheng Juan and I have already been like this. If you are still not happy, you can do whatever you want, even if you beat me, there is no problem.
"
Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Chen like this and trembled with anger. He scolded Li Suhua next to him: "Look at your son, why is he like this now?"
Li Suhua also looked very unhappy, glared at Zhou Chen reproachfully, and then comforted Zhou Zhigang.
"Okay, the children are all his own children. Why are you so angry? It's been seven years and the family has finally had a reunion dinner. Do you have to mess with it?"
"Kun'er, apologize to your dad quickly."
Zhou Chen apologized obediently: "Dad, I'm sorry. I was wrong. It's all my fault. I can beat you or scold you if you want. I promise not to resist."
Zhou Zhigang was too angry to express his misunderstanding, but considering that he only came back once in seven years, he suppressed his anger and did not express it.
"Humph, you can't even have a reunion dinner at your own home. What's the point of celebrating this year?"
Seeing that Zhou Zhigang was still looking for trouble, Zhou Chen suddenly shouted into the room: "Zheng Juan, bring over the real estate certificate?"
"deed?"
Zhou Chen's words made several people, including Zhou Zhigang, look shocked.
Zhou Zhigang looked at Li Suhua, but Li Suhua also looked confused.
Zheng Juan quickly came out of the room with a small notebook in her hand and handed it to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen handed the thing to Li Suhua again. Li Suhua took it and looked at it, and suddenly realized that he couldn't read at all, so he handed the real estate certificate to Zhou Zhigang.
Zhou Zhigang ignored his anger and picked up the real estate certificate and started reading it. When he saw the three characters "Zhou Bingkun" clearly written on the real estate certificate, he was dumbfounded.
Zhou Bingyi was also very curious, stretched his head over, and then said in surprise: "Bingkun, is this real estate certificate the real estate certificate of this house? Isn't this house rented? How can it be in your name?"
Zhou Chen slowly told the details.
"I bought this house last year."
Although houses are not easy to trade now, as long as there are people, there are ways. It just so happened that the owner of this house was a retired publishing house leader. Even with Zhou Chen spending money, the house was successfully transferred to his name.
Down.
