Chapter 576: The First Family Meeting of the Old Zhou Family
"I'm very unhappy tonight. I'm in a very bad mood, very bad. I feel aggrieved and depressed!"
The loud banging on the table and Qian Wen's heavy voice made everyone present look at him in shock.
Qian Wen didn't stop and continued, "I don't know how you feel or what you think, anyway, this is my truest thought at this moment.
Being looked down upon.
It’s not any one of us who looks down on us, but our old Zhou family, who came to have a formality.
But even this cutscene is really perfunctory, and I don’t even want to exchange pleasantries..."
"Bingkun!" At this point, Zhou Bingyi spoke up.
"Dongmei's parents..."
Qian Wen stretched out his hand to stop him, "Yes, he was very polite and well-educated throughout the whole process, right?
I just explained the whole picture of an intellectual family very well.
If you really want to find fault, you can't.
But...it’s very hurtful!”
Qian Wen did not yell at Zhou Bingyi, but said calmly that he did not hold this meeting to teach Zhou Bingyi a lesson or quarrel with him.
"Zhou Bingyi, have you seen Dad's face?
In just one hour, how many times did he change his face?
Why did he go from happily welcoming his parents-in-law this morning to sitting alone in his room smoking a cigarette after they left?
Dad didn’t say anything, but we can’t just pretend that nothing happened!”
Zhou Bingyi's lips twitched, "I..."
"They are so arrogant!" Qian Wen slapped the table again. Zheng Juan saw that his hands were red from the slap and hurriedly held it.
Zhou Rong also patted her chest, her little heart pounding. Qian Wen's eyes were so terrifying that anyone who looked at him at this moment felt a sudden shock in his heart.
She has been used to making trouble for so many years, and now she is the most creepy.
"Of course, their arrogance is not their fault, it is the inevitable result of the gap between their families.
Today's family meeting is not to criticize my sister-in-law's parents.
Because that will serve no purpose other than showing your own incompetence.
I don't have the habit of feeling sorry for myself.
What I want to say is what to do next. After experiencing this incident, the old Zhou family was looked down upon. My parents, who were originally happy, now feel aggrieved, depressed, and have become knotted in their hearts.
Who can take out this anger on them?"
Zhou Bingyi had a dark face, and Qian Wen's words were like a slap in the face. Today he came and opened everyone's eyes.
It's better not to come.
Cai Xiaoguang, who had been quiet all the time, looked around and saw everyone was silent. He raised his hand and asked, "What about Bingkun?"
"I have been in charge of the old Zhou family for more than ten years. Now that the old Zhou family is being bullied, I cannot and cannot pretend that nothing has happened.
This is the tone.
But how to do it, you have to have a plan.
That's the purpose of this family meeting."
Zhou Bingyi looked at him unexpectedly, why it was different from what he thought.
Shouldn't we criticize him and say: Look at your noble father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Now……
"I've finished what I need to say." Qian Wen sat down, smiled at Zheng Juan who looked worried in his eyes, and then looked at the others.
This matter was related to Zhou Bingyi, so no one else was in a hurry to express their opinions, but looked at the eldest brother Zhou Bingyi.
Zhou Bingyi frowned, thought for a moment, then stood up, "Bingkun, those are Dongmei's parents."
"I know, so I restrained myself and didn't say anything too extreme. Instead, I asked everyone to discuss it." Qian Wen looked at Zhou Bingyi calmly.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, in the final analysis, it is true to be strong.
Isn’t that just being looked down upon?
Then make impressive achievements, let the old Zhou family rise, and then slap him in the face!" Qian Wen said with a deep look in his eyes when he talked about slapping him in the face.
Make impressive achievements, let the old Zhou family rise, and then slap him in the face!
Such heroic words made everyone present brighten their eyes.
They are all people who have received higher education, and no one has a bit of arrogance in their hearts.
It's really depressing today.
I diligently cleaned the house all day and got it ready, hoping to make a good impression on my sister-in-law's parents, but the result was that I was ignored and despised.
Everyone felt uncomfortable and angry.
The reason for not saying anything is that the parents are already depressed enough, and they don't want to show it and make the atmosphere at home even more tense.
Among them, Zhou Bingyi's eyes were the brightest in the last few weeks, but he was actually the most depressed today.
He felt even more uncomfortable when his parents were wronged.
When Zhou Bingyi came back from the army, because the old Zhou family had a large house, he did not move into the Hao family like his son-in-law did in the play.
And Qian Wen guided me intentionally or unintentionally.
We don’t have that much contact with each other anymore, and Hao’s father is not very friendly to the old Zhou family. Except for Zhou Bingyi’s respect for his father-in-law and mother-in-law because his wife respects him, the rest is much worse than in the play.
Now that Qian Wen said he wanted to pay it back, Zhou Bingyi never thought about it. Instead, he felt happy because of what happened today.
I also agree, aren’t we always emphasizing the class gap? Then we will strengthen ourselves so that you have nothing to say.
"Isn't it just that the old Zhou family is not as good as them now?
Me, you, and Zhou Rong are all from the top universities in the country, and we are among the first batch of college students after the restoration of the college entrance examination system. We can be considered to be at the forefront of the limelight. No matter how stupid we are, we can still make a name for ourselves.
Now if I work a little harder, I think it shouldn't be difficult to win, right?
Don’t you want to vent your anger for your parents and clear the name of the old Zhou family?” Qian Wen looked at them and said.
"This meeting with the in-laws is not counted. I need to see them in the eye, so that they do not come with arrogance, but meet the in-laws who are truly guests at home.
There is no talk about the gap in class levels, and there is no talk that the emperor should have a straw-shoe kiss."
"Since others can't look at each other at eye level, let us fill this gap ourselves."
The depression in everyone's hearts was aroused, and their eyes became hot.
Everyone was inspired by Qian Wen's words.
"Zhou Rong, what do you think?"
"I don't think this meeting counts!"
"Brother, what do you think?"
"I will not let the old Zhou family be looked down upon anymore." Zhou Bingyi seemed to have made some decision and had some plans.
Cai Xiaoguang and Zheng Juan looked at him, as if they were being left out.
Qian Wen smiled.
"Xiaoguang, Juan'er, let's work hard together."
"Um!"
Everyone nodded heavily.
I'm starting to look forward to what the scene will be like when we meet next time.
The meeting broke up. Everyone shared the same hatred and planned to destroy each other and wipe out the other party's pride, so that the old Zhou family could rise and no longer be looked down upon by others.
Zhou Zhigang House.
The lights in the room had been turned off and it was pitch dark.
But neither of them could sleep. Zhou Zhigang had his eyes wide open, and Li Suhua's eyes were also open.
Neither of them spoke.
"Dad, are you asleep?" Li Suhua suddenly asked.
Zhou Zhigang did not say anything, but made some noise to tell that he was not asleep.
"It's not against Bingyi. We all know him. Today is actually the most difficult, and he is the one who suffers the most."
Zhou Zhigang still didn't say anything, it really hurt his heart today.
"The worst case scenario is that we won't see them anymore and won't see them anymore.
It’s also quiet.”
Zhou Zhigang, "Go to bed, it's getting late, I'm thirty tomorrow, I have a busy day."
At the same time, I felt sad in my heart, 'When I fall asleep, I won't have anything to worry about anymore.'
The room suddenly became quiet, but no one fell asleep. It was no comfort. In fact, no one was better than the other.
Zhou Bingyi House.
The room was also dark.
Zhou Bingyi used his hands and feet lightly to find the direction with the help of a ray of light.
Suddenly, the lights came on and the room was brightly lit.
Zhou Bingyi's calm expression just now changed, he smiled slightly and looked at Hao Dongmei on the bed, "She's not asleep yet. This is not good for the baby."
Hao Dongmei patted her side.
He took off his coat and got into the warm quilt.
Hao Dongmei lay in his arms, her eyes twinkling, and she couldn't say, "Bingyi, I'm sorry."
Zhou Bingyi hugged Hao Dongmei tightly, "What are you talking about? How can you be sorry for me?"
"My parents..."
"Let's not talk about this. Let him go by and let me listen and see our baby."
As he spoke, Zhou Bingyi lay on Hao Dongmei's still flat abdomen.
At the same time, I thought in my heart, "Let this matter pass. There will be no next time, and no next time will be allowed."
Zhou Bingyi, who had always been undecided whether to join politics or return to work in Jichun after graduation, made up his mind at this moment.
He plans to enter politics.
Tomorrow is thirty, as the daughter-in-law Zhou Rong will celebrate the New Year with her father-in-law and mother-in-law at her husband's place.
Braving the light snow all the way with Cai Xiaoguang, they arrived home.
The house was quiet, obviously not waiting for them to fall asleep.
The two of them gestured to each other and then tiptoed to their rooms.
The bedroom door closed gently.
Cai Xiaoguang did a chest enlargement exercise, "I thought Bingkun was going to fly into a rage at today's meeting."
Zhou Rong climbed onto the bed lazily, "You still don't understand him. His furious rage shows that this matter only makes him angry, but he doesn't take it seriously.
On the contrary, he was calm and serious, which shows that he is concerned about this matter and takes it seriously."
Zhou Rong said, "I know it very well. I have experience with roundworms in my belly."
Cai Xiaoguang lay next to her, looked at her sideways, and said with interest, "Do you know her so well?"
Zhou Rong gave him an angry look and said, "He has tortured me for so long. How could I understand that knowing yourself and your enemy is the best way to defeat him?"
It was an agreement that fooled me in the beginning.
It was just like that when we made the appointment, I remember it clearly.
I was still silly and cheerful, but now that I think about it, I really want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it to figure out who is the younger brother and who is the older sister!"
“But I feel pretty good about Bingkun this time.
Find the problem within yourself, and then strengthen yourself. When the time comes, give him a slap in the face." Cai Xiaoguang agreed.
"You don't like my sister-in-law's parents either?" Zhou Rong squirmed and leaned over.
Cai Xiaoguang hugged her and looked at the roof, "I'm not familiar with her, it's the first time I've seen her, so I just spoke based on my feeling.
It’s okay not to have such in-laws.
I remember that when my eldest brother married his eldest sister-in-law, it seemed that they had not yet turned against each other, and there was no news.
At that time, the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law were together because they fell in love. They didn't care about anything, and they might be implicated.
What are you doing today? It’s better not to come than to come.”
"So Bingkun never said anything about having a good relationship with the other party.
Instead, we should strengthen ourselves so that the other party does not dare to underestimate us.
I think it's quite right, there is no one who has risen and fallen short.
There are so many college students in our family, and we are so scared. We look down on others!" Zhou Rong said arrogantly.
"Well, what are you going to do?
Don't worry about Bingkun when the time comes, my eldest brother will be famous, and we will be just the two of us."
"I haven't thought about it, I have to think about it carefully, but it definitely can't be a pendant, otherwise I, Zhou Rong, will lose face." Zhou Rong touched her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Why don't you get some sleep first and think about it tomorrow?"
"Ahem, I'll be very busy tomorrow." Cai Xiaoguang withdrew his arm from hugging Zhou Rong.
"It's okay, tomorrow will be thirty, and I will rest after that.
Besides, I already have my sisters-in-law, so now we are the only ones left.
We two are too healthy to fall behind." Zhou Rong pounced on her like a wolf.
Cai Xiaoguang trembled.
He has an average physique.
Lao Zhou's house, Qian Wenwu.
Zheng Juan tucked in the quilts for the children sleeping on the crib.
Every little white face is cute and fast asleep, and they smack their lips from time to time. They are so cute.
The lights at home were not turned on, but the night light on the side was turned on. The light was warm, not dazzling, and the light was dim.
"Are you all asleep?" Qian Wen hugged Zheng Juan who came back.
"Well, they're all asleep, just like little pigs." Zheng Juan chuckled.
"Brother, are you very angry today?"
"Fortunately, I just can't stand the old Zhou family being ignored.
Or don't come, and I'll be out of sight and out of mind.
But when I came, it was still the same tone, and I felt like I was being bullied.
Since you are bullying the old Zhou family, I can't let you go.
Nowadays, people speak lightly, so who can say for sure?"
"Well, I believe brother."
Qian Wen smiled, rubbed Zheng Juan's hair, and kissed her forehead.
It was still the same, he responded to whatever Zheng Juan said and had no intention of refuting it.
If it used to be said that being uneducated and having no talent was a virtue, now that she has gone to university, she is well-informed, but Zheng Juan has not changed at all, and she is even more obsessed with him and somewhat worships him.
We can't engage in worship!
He enjoyed it quite a lot.
The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.
The light snow turned to moderate snow last night, and the snow stopped at dawn. The door, the eaves, and the streets were covered with white snow. The auspicious snow heralded a good harvest.
"Dad, dad, I want to set off firecrackers."
"I want to build a snowman."
"Brother, hurry up, there's a lot of snow, let's go have a snowball fight with Hu Zi."
The children of Guangzi Film started playing around early in the morning.
At the door, Zheng Juan put on Kangkang's scarf, cotton hat and gloves, and kissed her rosy little face.
"Mom!" Someone was standing nearby, Kangkang stamped his feet.
Zheng Juan smiled softly, "Follow your uncle Guangming soon, don't run too far, set off firecrackers as far away as possible, don't crash, avoid the ice on the eaves, don't play with snow in your clothes, you will catch a cold, and
..."As a mother, you have endless concerns and are never at ease.
Guangming looked on with a smile, and Kangkang listened helplessly. He was no longer young.
Zheng Juan was chatting with her children at the door.
At home, I am preparing to write Spring Festival couplets, make dumplings, and prepare the dishes for tomorrow.
There were only a few TV series on the TV. Qian Wen looked at them and found that he was not interested anymore.
In the next few years, Jigong, Journey to the West, and Legend of the Condor Heroes should be released, and by then there will be something to watch.
Sister-in-law Hao Dongmei wanted to help, but Zhou Bingyi hurriedly stopped her and said he would do it. There had been an accident once, and he didn't want it to happen again. This time he was more careful and considerate than anyone else.
Hao Dongmei felt a little too nervous, but she didn't dare to take it lightly, so she tried her best to do what she could.
"Bingkun, can you buy medicine today? It's already the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month."
Qian Wen put on his coat and was about to put on his lint hat and go out to buy anti-fetal medicine for his sister-in-law Hao Dongmei.
"When I go to a big hospital, it's like going home. Do you think I can buy it?
But don't wait for me at noon. Once I leave, I won't be released until the evening.
You should post Spring Festival couplets and make dumplings. I’ll be back when I’m done.”
When he went to a big hospital, difficult and complicated diseases would come up. For the sake of his past kindness, he couldn't leave because he had to see a few patients anyway.
"Let's go, we can't eat dumplings without you?
Just bring back the medicine for your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law is the most important thing now." Zhou Zhigang, who was rolling a cigarette at the side, said.
Qian Wen and Zhou Bingyi looked at each other and shrugged.
Qian Wen and Li Suhua said hello and went out.
After talking to Zheng Juan, Guangming and Kangkang at the door, they left on their bicycles.
Now life is gradually getting better, supplies are abundant, and the flavor of the new year is becoming more and more abundant.
There are children wearing new clothes on the street, pairs of happy men and women, and festive music playing from time to time on the radio on the road.
After a busy day, night comes.
Lao Zhou’s family gathered together to watch the New Year’s Eve.
