On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after celebrating the New Year, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng took the train back to the capital. Feng Huacheng had to go to work in two days, and Zhou Rong had to go to work to go through the resignation procedures.
Zhou Zhigang finally sent Zhou Rong off, but Wang Gang did not go.
Before leaving, Zhou Rong hugged Zhou Zhigang and cried hard, and Zhou Zhigang's eyes were a little moist.
Although he was disappointed with Zhou Rong, she was his biological daughter after all. Moreover, Zhou Zhigang also figured out that he would not expect his eldest son and daughter to live with his younger son in the future, but would be more tolerant to them.
Zhou Zhigang left Jichun one day earlier than Zhou Bingyi. Both Wang Gang and Zhou Bingyi went to the train station to see her off. Li Suhua was in poor health, and Zhou Zhigang refused to let her move.
Before leaving, Zhou Zhigang grabbed Zhou Bingyi and Wang Gang's hands and said:
"You brothers will all go to the same school in the future. You should take care of each other if anything happens. Remember that you are brothers."
"Dad, don't worry! I will take good care of mom when I get to the capital." Zhou Bingyi said boldly.
Wang Gang disapproved in his heart, but for Zhou Zhigang's sake, he did not quarrel with Zhou Bingyi.
Zhou Zhigang also knew in his heart that his eldest son said he was beautiful, but when he really arrived in the capital, his wife had to rely on his younger son to take care of him.
"Bingkun, I will leave the house to you from now on." Zhou Zhigang turned to Wang Gang and said.
Zhou Bingyi's face looked a little unnatural. A few days ago, he discovered that his father's attitude towards him was somewhat different.
"Dad, don't worry, I've found a nanny for the house in the capital, and I've also contacted Feng Yue's school," Wang Gang said.
Zhou Zhigang nodded happily. Compared with his eldest son who talked in vain, his younger son was much more reliable. He was prepared for everything and arranged everything properly.
Zhou Zhigang left with peace of mind. Wang Gang and Zhou Bingyi walked toward home silently without saying a word.
When he was approaching the door, Zhou Bingyi suddenly stopped and said to Wang Gang: "Bingkun, let's talk."
Wang Gang stopped and turned to look at Zhou Bingyi calmly: "What do you want to talk about?"
Zhou Bingyi felt a little uncomfortable. Since the last time they met, he found that his younger brother's attitude towards him was a little different. Instead of the previous admiration of his younger brother towards his older brother, he had a little more disdain.
This is what worries Zhou Bingyi the most.
"Bingkun, do you have any misunderstanding about me?" Zhou Bingyi asked.
"Which aspect are you referring to?" Wang Gang looked sideways at Zhou Bingyi and asked.
"I'm staying at your sister-in-law's house during this period because they haven't seen each other for a long time. I want to spend more time together, not because I want to gain power and wealth." Zhou Bingyi said with sincere eyes:
"Actually, I also have my own difficulties. Your sister-in-law's parents have never recognized me, and it's painful for me to be caught between them."
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "I didn't see that you were in pain, but I noticed that you were more diligent in running to your sister-in-law's house than in your own home."
Zhou Bingyi was a little angry, but he suppressed his anger and said as calmly as possible: "I went to your sister-in-law's house because I want her parents to accept me and our family as soon as possible, and accept this in-laws."
Wang Gang laughed and said, "It's really ridiculous."
Zhou Bingyi frowned and said, "That's so funny."
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "Who wants them to recognize it? Who do they think they are?"
Zhou Bingyi was furious and said: "Dongmei's father has paid a lot, you have to respect him."
Wang Gang laughed back and said: "Respect, respect is mutual. He doesn't respect us, so why should I respect him? Is there anything in him that deserves my respect?"
Zhou Bingyi said angrily: "The stable life you have now and the prosperity of Jiangliao are all earned by your sister-in-law and parents who sacrificed their lives and blood. Don't they deserve your respect?"
Wang Gang asked back: "Are you stupid from studying? The good life we have now was obtained by the sacrifice of the martyrs. They did have merit, but they also received rewards.
Besides, this is no reason for them to disrespect our family!"
Zhou Bingyi shouted angrily: "They don't respect our family anymore."
Wang Gang sneered: "How long have they been back at work, and how long since they returned to Jichun? They never said that the two in-laws would meet each other, and they didn't even have the most basic respect and courtesy. Have I wronged them?"
"They are too busy and really can't spare the time." Zhou Bingyi said gloomily.
Wang Gang asked back: "Whether you don't want to meet or you are busy, you know it in your heart. To tell you the truth, my parents know it in their heart just like me, so this Chinese New Year, I didn't even mention the meeting with my in-laws once."
Zhou Bingyi opened his mouth and stuttered: "Don't my parents approve of my marriage?"
"How do you want your parents to approve of this?" Wang Gang said: "Let's not talk about the attitude of my sister-in-law's parents. Don't think about it. Even if my sister-in-law can't have children, which parent can be willing to do so!"
Zhou Bingyi said guiltily: "Then why didn't my parents tell me?"
Wang Gang sighed: "Our parents are the best parents in the world. No matter how wronged I am, I don't want my children to suffer. Are you willing to let your parents divorce you and your sister-in-law?"
"Of course I don't want a divorce." Zhou Bingyi shouted immediately.
"Of course your parents know about it, so they won't even mention the divorce to you, but you should also know in your heart that with the attitude of my sister-in-law's parents, the person who is hurt the most is not you, but your parents!"
Zhou Bingyi was struck by lightning. He had always wanted to gain the approval of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so that the two in-laws could coexist peacefully.
But I never thought about the grievances my parents felt.
Don't Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua know the attitude of their in-laws? They just endured it in the past.
First of all, the class gap between the two families is indeed too big. Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua do not want to seek power and wealth, so they have the shamelessness to recognize this family.
On the other hand, I also feel sorry for my son and don't want my eldest son to feel uncomfortable and find it difficult to be a good person being caught between both parents.
In the final analysis, for the sake of their children, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua do not mind no matter how hard or tired they are.
That's why Wang just said that they are the best parents in the world.
Over the course of several reincarnations, Wang Gang has met quite a few parents, some who are as selfish as Su Daqiang, and few who are as selfless as Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua.
So sometimes Zhou Zhigang was a little biased, and Wang Gang would have a little temper and never really wanted to fall out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Gang's words today touched Zhou Bingyi very much. He used to focus on his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he never thought of the grievances suffered by his biological parents.
"Do you know why I always dislike you?" Wang Gang said to Zhou Bingyi:
"There is nothing wrong with you wanting to curry favor with high-ranking officials. Everyone strives for higher places, but your disregard for your parents is what I dislike the most!"
Zhou Bingyi wanted to explain something, but nothing came out.
Because he knew in his heart that Wang Gang was right. Although he had always said that he wanted to be filial to his parents in the past, he had never taken any actual actions.
On the contrary, it was his younger brother who stayed with his mother, contributed money and effort, and even gave up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to college in order to take care of his mother.
After comparing the two brothers, Zhou Bingyi also understood the reason for his parents' change in attitude towards him.
"Bingkun, I'm sorry, maybe I really ignored my parents' feelings." Zhou Bingyi took a deep breath and said.
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "You are not sorry for me. If you really realize your problem, you should know what to do."
Zhou Bingyi frowned and said, "I will not divorce your sister-in-law."
The Zhou family are all lovers, including Wang Gang. Once they find a partner, they will be committed to it. Although they are not committed, they will never initiate divorce themselves.
"I have never thought about getting you a divorce, but I want you to give up trying to please Senior Official Hao and focus on your parents. They are your biological parents."
"I'm not trying to curry favor with your sister-in-law's parents." Zhou Bingyi emphasized again: "I just really want to gain their approval."
"The more you act like this, the harder it is to gain respect. You're just trying to compromise." Wang Gang said disdainfully.
"Then what do you think I should do?" Zhou Bingyi said calmly.
"Do you think that if you succeed with the help of your parents-in-law, they will recognize you?" Wang Gang said:
"Only when you succeed on your own merits, without relying on them at all, will your parents-in-law look at you with admiration."
A thunderbolt flashed through Zhou Bingyi's mind, and his eyes widened.
"Success by your own ability?!" Zhou Bingyi said to himself.
"Relying on your father-in-law and mother-in-law, no matter how successful you are, they will still think in their hearts that if you don't have yourself, you are nothing."
Wang Gang's words awakened the dreamer, and Zhou Bingyi suddenly saw another way to gain the approval of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
