Chapter 604: People are from the Zhou family, and their hearts are from the Hao family
"Brother, look at your aggressive look. Do you want to kill me or something?"
Zhou Bingyi came here full of anger, but now that he heard Zhou Chen's provocative words, his anger increased even more.
"Zhou Bingkun, I'm asking you now. Why did you go to Dongmei's house to make Dongmei's father so angry? If something goes wrong with her father, can you afford it? By then our whole family will be responsible for it.
I will all suffer with you."
Zhou Chen sneered and said: "I think you are not afraid that your whole family will suffer with me, but you are afraid that you yourself will be implicated by me."
"you……"
"What happened to me?"
Zhou Chen didn't give Zhou Bingyi a chance to refute, and said sternly: "What qualifications do you have to question me? You said that your father-in-law was angry with me. Did he tell you personally? Did you ask clearly why? You became so angry.
came over to question me."
"Just because he's sick doesn't mean he's justified."
The angry Zhou Bingyi was suddenly robbed by Zhou Chen, and most of his momentum was suddenly weakened, but how could he give up?
"The facts are already in front of you, and you still want to quibble, Zhou Bingkun, why didn't I see that you still have this ability before? Who asked you to go to Dongmei's house? What qualifications do you have to find Dongmei's parents? Do you think
Who are they, and who do you think you are?"
"who do you think You Are?"
Zhou Chen retorted with the same sentence, and then said in a cold tone: "Zhou Bingyi, don't forget, your surname is Zhou, not Hao. You are the eldest son of the Zhou family first, and then the son-in-law of the Hao family; but look at you
What are you doing? My father was bullied by your parents-in-law. When my father was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep or eat, he didn't say a word to you. Instead, he found excuses for others."
"Now, just because your father-in-law, a high-ranking official, is ill, you didn't even ask clearly about the cause and effect, so you came home and asked me, are you Zhou Zhigang's son or his, Hao Guan-guan's son?"
This was a bit hurtful, but Zhou Chen said it without hesitation, because what Zhou Bingyi did angered him, and he didn't need to be merciful.
"You, you, Zhou Bingkun, how dare you say such things to me."
Zhou Bingyi was so angry that he was out of breath, and his hands were trembling.
"You can do it, why can't I say it?"
"Bingkun, shut up."
Seeing the two brothers quarreling and their words becoming increasingly unpleasant, Zhou Zhigang, as a father, could no longer bear it.
But Zhou Chen suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhou Zhigang, and said with an extremely serious expression: "Dad, I know what you want to say, but what I want to say is that the more you try to get involved, the more things will get worse.
The worse it gets.”
"Think about how they treat you and how they treat our Zhou family. The gifts they sent out were sent back by others without even a single explanation afterwards. I don't know what you are thinking, but this
To me, it is a great shame and a big insult, and it is an insult to our Zhou family. As a member of the Zhou family, I absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing."
"Zhou Bingyi, don't you want to know what I did to your parents-in-law? Then let me tell you, I did go there on purpose today. I just want an explanation. If they look down on our Zhou family, then just stop it.
Just be quiet and never interact with him again."
"Do you know how your good father-in-law and mother-in-law treat me? You, Zhou Bingyi, are their son-in-law, and I am your brother. But when I came to the door, they didn't even let me sit down, and they didn't even pour me a glass of water. I had no words.
If you say a few words, you will drive me away. In their eyes, it is as if I have come to curry favor with them. I think you have experienced that kind of condescending attitude."
Zhou Bingyi's face turned livid, how could he not have learned this before? He knew very well his status in the eyes of the Hao family.
But that was all in the past. Since the beginning of this year, he has changed his image in the eyes of his parents-in-law through his own efforts, and everything is going in the direction he expected.
But what Zhou Chen did today directly shattered all his efforts. In the future, his status in the Hao family may be even worse, and even his wife Hao Dongmei may be angry with him for this.
He had been working hard for so long and was stabbed in the back by his own brother. How could he not be angry? How could he not come to Zhou Chen to 'reason'.
Zhou Zhigang, who had scolded Zhou Chen just now, remained silent at this moment. Several days had passed since what happened that day. Although he had never spoken about it again, how could he just let it go? This had become a problem in his mind.
Knot.
Li Suhua didn't even speak. She had already decided to follow Zhou Chen and let Zhou Chen provide for her in her old age. After what happened on New Year's Eve, she felt that her decision was right.
Although she already valued her eldest son Zhou Bingyi, in fact, her heart was gradually leaning towards her younger son.
She felt very uncomfortable when she heard that the Hao family not only looked down upon them, but even her proudest youngest son was treated with such contempt when he came to visit them.
Even Zhou Rong felt uncomfortable. She didn't deal with Zhou Chen, but she also heard about what happened that day, so she didn't respect the Hao family because of their high position, but was strongly dissatisfied with them.
.
What the eldest brother did was really inappropriate. His father was looked down upon. Instead of comforting him, he went to curry favor with his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Now Zhou Chen went to help the Zhou family seek justice. Although she didn't know what method Zhou Chen used to make the senior official Hao angry, she actually felt a little happy in her heart, feeling that Zhou Chen had finally done something good.
Zhou Bingyi felt very embarrassed. Like Zhou Zhigang, he was a very face-conscious person. Zhou Chen said these words in front of the whole family, which made him lose face.
"This is all your speculation. The facts are completely different from what you said. Dongmei's parents value me very much, and they also..."
"Yes, I value you so much that even your parents don't want to meet you. I value you so much that they sent back the gifts you gave them. I value you so much that your own brother won't even let you sit down when he comes to visit?"
"Zhou Bingkun, why are you so unreasonable now? It's obvious that you didn't discuss it with anyone and made your own decisions. Now when something goes wrong, you blame Dongmei's parents and me.
Is this how you respect your elders and brothers?"
Although Zhou Bingyi is also a highly educated person, in terms of eloquence and reasoning, he is not at the same level as Zhou Chen. After saying a few words, he was already furious.
Zhou Chen sneered: "Respect your elders? Respect is relative. They are your elders, not mine. If they don't respect me, why should I respect them?"
"As for you, brother, please tell your conscience, how do I treat you and my sister-in-law? I have said something to you and my sister-in-law, haven't I? Every time you came over, we didn't provide you with good food and good food, and my mother even didn't even have a kitchen.
Isn’t this not enough respect if you don’t even let your sister-in-law in? Do you still want us to lift you up to the sky?”
Zhou Bingyi suddenly choked up because Zhou Chen told the truth. Hao Dongmei really didn't do anything when he came to their house. On the contrary, when he went to Hao's house, he often helped serve tea and water and do this and that.
But he never felt there was anything wrong before, maybe because he mentally approved of this method, but now that Zhou Chen brought it up, it embarrassed him.
"Quia, I'm not here to listen to your quibbles. Have you ever thought about it, if you really make Dongmei's father angry and something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility? It won't be our Zhou family who will be implicated then; Zhou Bingkun
, you are just too smooth. You are self-centered in everything and want to take care of everything. But I am not Zhou Rong. You don’t need to worry about my affairs. Dongmei’s parents are my parents-in-law. Even if they have any problems, they can’t do anything.
It's not your turn to tell them that you don't have the qualifications."
Zhou Rong looked constipated and complained in her heart. If you say Zhou Chen, say Zhou Chen. Why did you drag me in? Who did I provoke?
Zhou Chen: "Look at the tone of your words now. It's exactly the same as Hao Gaoguan and Jin Yueji. It seems that you haven't learned anything else from them. You have learned all about the ability to put on airs. I think you won't have a different surname in the future.
It’s Zhou, please change your surname to Hao.”
"Bingkun."
Li Suhua rushed over and gave Zhou Chen a slap in the face, scolding angrily: "You damn kid, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhou Zhigang also looked gloomy: "Bingkun..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Suhua interrupted him: "My father, don't be angry. This matter is indeed Bingkun's fault, but he also went to Dongmei out of good intentions and to help us vent our anger."
His parents, he definitely didn’t expect something like that to happen.”
Zhou Bingyi said angrily: "Mom, it's already this time and you still speak for him. Have you not considered the consequences?"
Li Suhua sighed: "Bingyi, mom doesn't know the consequences, but mom knows that Bingkun really thinks about us and doesn't want us to be wronged, so he takes the risk to find Dongmei's parents. If Dongmei
If there is really something wrong with her father, then this responsibility will be borne by me, and I asked Bingkun to find them."
"mom."
Zhou Bingyi was furious. He didn't expect his mother to say such words in order to protect Zhou Chen, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Bingyi."
Zhou Zhigang suddenly called Zhou Bingyi and said with a serious face: "You are right, Bingkun did a little too much this time, but your mother is right, Bingkun did what he did for us.
If something like this happens to Dongmei's father, your mother and I will bear the responsibility."
Zhou Bingyi's face was full of shock. He couldn't believe his ears. Is this still his father?
In the past, whenever Zhou Chen did something wrong, Zhou Zhigang would beat Zhou Chen to death. Even if he didn't beat him, he would yell in anger.
But today, at this moment, why is this attitude?
Zhou Chen also looked at Zhou Zhigang in surprise. He was already prepared to argue with Zhou Zhigang, but Zhou Zhigang's sudden style caught him off guard.
Zhou Rong was also shocked. She had the same idea as Zhou Bingyi and felt that the father in front of her was very different from before.
Only Li Suhua understands Zhou Zhigang's changes best. Husband and wife are connected. She knows that her husband has recognized the reality. Although his eldest son makes him feel confident, he still has to rely on his younger son and his daughter-in-law to make a living.
As for the eldest son and daughter-in-law, they have no idea at all. The eldest son's heart is no longer with them.
Zhou Bingyi said frustratedly: "Dad, Mom, you can't indulge Bingkun like this. If he can make Dongmei's father angry today, he will cause even greater trouble in the future."
"Zhou Bingyi, to be honest, you have really disappointed me. As I said, although you are still the eldest son of the Zhou family, in fact, your heart has already flown to the Hao family, and you only want to please me.
Those two people from the Hao family don't care about our family at all. If you have a good conscience, you will always stand by the Hao family when it comes to our family."
"Why? It's not because they have a high position and you think they can help you in the future, but the fact is that they look down on our Zhou family, which is the greatest contempt for you. You think you are relying on your own efforts.
gain their approval;
But the fact is that they still don't take you seriously, they just give you a little favor because of your willingness to sacrifice for their daughter, so you feel complacent and put them higher than your biological parents.
Gao, this is what you do as the eldest son of Zhou?"
"You can obviously be a good person with your head up high, but you still have to be humble to please others. You can even abandon your children. You only think about yourself and forget about your parents. This behavior of yours is truly unfilial."
Zhou Bingyi looked very ugly. As the eldest brother, he was pointed at and scolded by his younger brother in front of the whole family. He felt that he was even more embarrassed than Zhou Rong who was beaten back then.
But when he heard Zhou Chen's last words, a look of panic suddenly appeared on his face. He thought Zhou Chen was going to tell the secret between him and Hao Dongmei.
"Zhou Bingkun..."
"Okay, stop yelling. Do you really think I am the only one who knows about you and your sister-in-law? Then you really underestimate our parents. You can ask them to see if they know about you and your sister-in-law.
The truth about my sister-in-law’s infertility.”
Zhou Bingyi looked horrified: "Did you tell your parents?"
Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "I'm not that boring."
Zhou Bingyi didn't believe it and could only look at his parents with panicked eyes.
Zhou Zhigang had a gloomy look on his face, smoking a cigarette without saying a word, while Li Suhua sighed slightly.
"Bingyi, your father and I already know that you and Dongmei can't have children. It's not your problem, it's Dongmei's problem."
Zhou Zhigang said in a deep voice: "This matter has nothing to do with Bingkun. He didn't say it. It was your mother who saw it herself. I don't understand it, but your mother is a woman and she knows some things better than me."
"Bingyi, you and Dongmei lived at Yanjing's house for a while. Although mom is illiterate, she also knows that your medicines are not for you, but for Dongmei, right?"
Zhou Bingyi felt very uncomfortable and didn't care to look at his parents again. He was embarrassed and ashamed. He had deceived his parents, and their parents knew the truth but did not expose him.
Compared with the love of his parents, he is really an unfilial son and is ashamed.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you."
Zhou Zhigang took two puffs of cigarette and said: "Okay, it's all over. Let's leave it as it is today. You go back, go see Dongmei and her parents, comfort them, and at the same time, take care of us."
, tell them I’m sorry, Bingkun has indeed passed what happened today.”
Zhou Bingyi's mind was buzzing because Zhou Zhigang said "go back". So in his father's eyes, when he went to Hao Dongmei's house, was he already going home?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he was silent for a long time. In the end, he didn't say anything. He told his parents and left.
As soon as Zhou Bingyi left, Zhou Zhigang snorted coldly at Zhou Chen, then turned around and walked into the room.
It was obvious that he was really angry.
Li Suhua pointed at Zhou Chen and sighed: "You, you, you don't want people to live peacefully during the Chinese New Year. Why do you have to make a fuss?"
Zhou Chen said: "Mom, I actually didn't want it to be like this. The main reason is that those two people are really too irritating. If it wasn't too much, I wouldn't be so cruel."
"You, I really don't know what to say to you. You can't control your temper."
Li Suhua knew best what his son was like. When he was at home, he was filial and sensible, he could make money without losing his temper, and he was very patient with his children.
But once they meet someone who treats their family badly, their temper will be outrageous.
No, even if he is a high-ranking official in the province, he dares to scold him in front of his face, and even scolds him to cause problems.
Dinner was not finished quietly. This kind of thing happened to the Zhou family not only once or twice, but everyone was used to it.
What happened today was very shocking to the Zhou and Hao families.
If we want to say who hates Zhou Chen the most right now, besides the Hao couple, it must be Hao Dongmei.
Although Zhou Chen helped her a lot, his kindness was not even half as good as that of his biological parents.
Especially seeing her father lying weakly on the bed made her even more dissatisfied with Zhou Chen.
Seeing Zhou Bingyi's lonely return, she didn't pay much attention and directly questioned him angrily.
"Zhou Bingyi, what do you mean by your brother? Does he want to make my parents angry to death?"
Facing his angry wife, Zhou Bingyi could not tell what happened to him at his brother's house, so he could only apologize apologetically.
"Dongmei, I have already scolded Bingkun and asked my father to teach him a lesson."
Hao Dongmei asked angrily: "Why didn't you notify your brother Zhou Bingkun in advance when he came over? I listened to my mother. He came to seek justice for what happened on New Year's Eve. My mother didn't say anything about what happened next. She just listened to the nanny.
He said, Zhou Bingkun had a big fight with my parents, and then my dad became very angry."
Except for the person involved, no one knows what exactly happened in the afternoon.
Zhou Bingyi didn't know much about the Mohu Lake that Zhou Chen was talking about. As for Jin Yueji and Hao Gaoguan, he had no shame to tell them. Even if Hao Dongmei pressed, she couldn't find anything out, so she could only pin her hopes on Zhou Bingyi.
.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingyi didn't know what was going on, which made Hao Dongmei angrily quarrel with him, and even slept in separate rooms that night.
