The moment they heard this voice, Zhao Shanhe and the others couldn't help but put down their chopsticks. The voice was so familiar that it belonged to Zhou Angong. But no one could have imagined that Zhou Angong would come here at this time.
While everyone was hesitating, Zhou Angong had already opened the cotton curtain and walked in, carrying large and small packages of gifts. As soon as he came in, he put the gifts on the ground and looked around the whole place with a smile on his face.
"They are all here, my uncle Dajin, my third uncle Sanjin, and my aunt."
Zhou Angong called a circle of people.
Faced with Zhou Angong's behavior, no one present moved. Their eyes looked at Zhou Angong with contempt, and even Zhao Yonghao did not say anything in reply.
Your Zhou family has done such a great job, what are you doing here now?
Realizing that the atmosphere in the room was a little solid, Zhou Angong couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, but he had no intention of turning around and leaving. Instead, he took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart and said: "Uncle Dajin, my parents
Let me send you some New Year's goods, stop by to see you, and ask you when you will return to Yangpo Town."
"Sending New Year's gifts?"
Zhao Yonghao didn't speak, it was Zhao Shanhe who spoke.
In this situation, since Zhao Yonghao didn't speak, naturally it was Zhao Shanhe who could speak.
After he glanced over, he said expressionlessly: "Zhou Angong, there is no need to send New Year's goods. Our family is not short of these New Year's goods. As for when to return to Yangpo Town during the New Year, we haven't decided yet."
"Shanhe, I was thinking that if we go back, we can be together so that grandma and grandpa's place can be more lively, right?" Zhou Angong said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"lively?"
Zhao Shanhe raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Are you sure your grandparents will feel the excitement? Which time did you go there without making a fuss, and which time did you go without making trouble? So I think, let's forget it together, it's better for each of us to go our own way."
"Mountains and rivers..."
Zhou Angong still wanted to speak, but Zhao Shanhe raised his hand to interrupt.
"We are getting ready to eat. If you say there is nothing wrong, you can leave first."
"Okay!"
Zhou Angong glanced around and found that no one wanted to stay, so he smiled bitterly.
"Then I will go back first. Uncle Dajin, third uncle Sanjin, and auntie, please eat slowly."
After saying that, Zhou Angong turned around and left.
"An Gong, wait!"
At this moment, Lin Chunyan stood up. She took out a few gift boxes from the back room and carried them over. She smiled and said, "An Gong, take these back to your parents."
"Da Jin, no need." Zhou Angong quickly waved his hand and declined.
"Take it!"
Lin Chunyan forced her way through and said, "An Gong, go back and tell your parents that you can go to Yangpo Town whenever you want. Don't worry about us."
"good!"
Zhou Angong carried the gift box and found that Lin Chunyan had no intention of keeping him, so he could only leave awkwardly. It was not until he walked far away that he couldn't help but sigh.
Do you regret it?
He was indeed so regretful that his intestines were turning green. Let alone Zhao Shanhe, no one among them tried to persuade him to stay today. Even if someone really tried to persuade him to stay, he would not have the shame to stay.
I think back then, when Zhao Shanhe indirectly helped me through my aunt, I was obsessed with betraying him. No one would show any mercy to a betrayer at any time.
"We can only slowly ease the relationship."
Looking at the gift box in his hand, Zhou Angong left helplessly.
As Zhou Angong left, the atmosphere in the room fell into a state of silence. The first person to speak to break the silence was not Zhao Yongrui, but Zhao Yongjun.
"I heard that the eldest sister's family is having a hard time now. Although the house has been saved, they are still in debt. Zhou Angong has also divorced Huang Yingying, and he is now an unemployed vagrant. If this continues, his life will probably be worse.
It will be very sad. Do you think we can just watch it like this?"
Zhao Yongjun looked at Zhao Yonghao and said with a heavy heart: "Then she is our eldest sister after all!"
"Sister?"
Zhao Yongrui quit after hearing this. She looked over and said with contempt in her eyes: "Third brother, I don't agree with what you said. It's good that she is our eldest sister, but has she really done what an eldest sister should do?
In addition to thinking about the entire Zhou family now, she doesn't even think about our brothers and sisters from her mother's family."
"If we don't talk about distant things, let's talk about nearby things. If it weren't for her, would Zhou An Gong have betrayed Shanhe? If she had said she would stand by him to the end, would Zhou An Gong have dared to betray him without hesitation?"
"Betrayed Shanhe, betrayed me, and you still said she is our eldest sister. Is there anyone like her who can be an eldest sister?"
Zhao Yongrui picked up the Jianlibao jar in front of her and took a sip, put it down angrily, and then said: "As for life being a little difficult now, let me tell you, I was much more miserable than she was when I got divorced, so I can't handle it just the same.
Already."
"Besides, why is she so sad now? The money I gave them will at least give them a place to live, right? The house has been saved, and the only thing left is to pay off the debt."
"Could it be that they did something wrong and don't even want to pay the price of repaying the debt?"
"I didn't mean that, I..."
Zhao Yongjun waved his hands and explained quickly: "I just feel that the eldest sister is a little sad like this, and I want to see if we can help her. I have no other intentions, Shanhe, don't think too much about it."
"Uncle Third, I understand what you are saying, let's just eat!" Zhao Shanhe smiled calmly and changed the topic lightly.
"Yes, eat."
Zhao Shankai raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Zhao Yonghao: "Uncle, I offer you a glass of wine."
"good!"
Soon the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again.
After lunch, Zhao Yongrui stood up and said goodbye. She still had a lot of things to do there, so it was impossible for her to stay here forever.
Zhao Yongjun's family also went back, and as soon as they returned home, Zhao Shankai suddenly said: "Dad, what were you thinking just now? Why did you want to speak for Zhou Angong?"
"I didn't speak for Zhou Angong. I spoke for your aunt, okay? What are you talking about? It's your aunt after all. Kiss your aunt! She's living such a difficult life now. Should I?
Shouldn't you say a few nice words for me?" Zhao Yongjun's face darkened when he heard this question.
"Can you help me say something nice?"
Zhao Shankai did not shrink back like before, but stood in front of him fearlessly, stared into Zhao Yongjun's eyes, and said calmly: "Dad, do you think our family is better off now, so you are starting to feel something in your heart?"
Any other ideas?"
"What do you mean? Have you ever talked to me like this? Do you believe it or not that I slap you with my big mouth?" Zhao Yongjun glared at me angrily.
"If you slap someone, let me see if it's against you!"
Who wants to hear this? Before Zhao Shankai could speak, the mother next to him put her hands on her hips and shouted at Zhao Yongjun: "You have grown up! You dare to talk like this. Why didn't I know you were still so stubborn?"
