"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.
