Zhou Peirong raised his eyebrows and asked quickly.
"They are two young men, about the same age as you. They said they are your cousins."
The Orion was panting as he spoke, but his eyes swept over the food without leaving any trace.
Zhou Peirong didn't pay attention to his behavior, but frowned and began to search carefully in his memory.
Own……
No, to be precise, did my predecessor have any relatives like cousins?
Zhou Peirong is really not sure about this.
As for why he thinks so, the reason has to start with his parents.
My former father was just an ordinary traveling businessman, making a living by selling groceries.
By chance, he rescued a woman who was being chased by gangsters, so he gained the woman's favor, and the two secretly made a lifelong engagement.
And this woman is the predecessor’s mother.
only.
The predecessor's mother came from a large family.
Her marriage to Zhou's father was strongly opposed by her family.
The rebellious mother Zhou resolutely chose to elope with her father.
The two people hid all the way. After arriving in Xifeng Town, the tired two people chose to settle here.
The environment here in Xifeng Town is too bad, making it difficult for traveling merchants to do business.
But despite this, the two of them still lived happily.
Soon, Zhou's mother gave birth to two children for Zhou's father, namely Zhou Peirong's "predecessor" and his eldest brother.
In order to support his two children, Zhou's father would leave early and come home late every day to make money.
Zhou's mother, on the other hand, is responsible for educating her two children and teaching them how to read and write.
A family of four has been relying on each other for more than ten years in a relatively difficult environment.
Because of overwork and illness, Zhou's father finally fell ill.
In this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, once a person gets seriously ill, the final result will most likely be death.
And Father Zhou could not escape this law.
Shortly after Zhou's father passed away, Zhou's mother passed away with regret because of excessive thinking.
Only the two brothers Zhou Peirong were left, struggling to survive alone.
Without the protection of his parents, the responsibility of supporting the family fell on the elder son of the Zhou family.
Unfortunately.
The elder man of the Zhou family is not in good health either.
Huge pressure fell on his shoulders, and within a few years, his body also developed some minor problems.
However, the eldest son of the Zhou family didn't care. He still worked hard to make money every day to support his younger brother's education and earn money to prepare for a wife and children.
Facts have proved that the elder brother of the Zhou family is still very capable.
Through unremitting efforts, he finally earned enough money to marry a wife and made a marriage arrangement with Li Yulian.
Li Yulian had many children in her family, so she didn't pay much attention to Li Yulian, and she didn't get to know the elder brother of the Zhou family at all.
Like a burden thrown away, Li Yulian was quickly sent to the Zhou family by her family to marry the eldest son of the Zhou family.
Then, Li Yulian became an unlucky person who killed her husband just after the wedding ceremony and before the bridal chamber.
And the predecessor was also described as a lone star of evil by some people who love to gossip.
If it weren't for his predecessor's reputation as a scholar, he would probably have been kicked out of Xifeng Town along with Li Yulian.
But even though they were finally able to stay in Zephyr Town, they were able to continue to maintain this broken home.
But his predecessor was very miserable, following the same path as his mother.
Of course there is no need to elaborate on what happened next.
During the more than ten years that my predecessor's family struggled to survive.
However, none of Zhou's mother's natal family showed up.
But now, someone suddenly came to their home and claimed to be the cousin of his predecessor. How could Zhou Peirong not be suspicious?
certainly!
What Zhou Peirong doubted was not the identities of these two people, but their purpose of coming to him.
After all, the two families had not interacted with each other for more than ten or twenty years.
But now, my cousins suddenly came to my door.
No matter who is faced with this kind of thing, they will definitely feel guilty.
"Come on, let's go back and take a look!"
Zhou Peirong didn't think about it for too long, but made a decision quickly.
Several other people naturally followed his lead.
Since he has made a decision, the other people naturally have no objections.
As a result, several people hurriedly closed the tofu shop, left Liming County, and rushed back to Xifeng Town.
There were no words along the way.
Soon, several people returned to Xifeng Town and Zhou Peirong's home.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Peirong took one look and saw two young men who looked a little haggard and were being accompanied by several neighbors.
With just one glance, Zhou Peirong was able to confirm that these two people were indeed related to him.
Because the appearance of these two people is very similar to the mother's appearance in the memory of the predecessor.
No need to ask.
These two people are my cousins.
But although Zhou Peirong was sure of this, he did not want to recognize these two people immediately.
He stepped forward slowly and deliberately looked at the two young men and women with doubtful eyes.
"You are……"
"My name is Wenzhuo, and she is my sister Wenxi."
Upon hearing Zhou Peirong's question, the young man among the two men immediately stood up and bowed to Zhou Peirong respectfully.
"You must be cousin Peirong! Although we have never met, my grandfather often talks about you!"
"Your grandfather talks about me?"
Zhou Peirong sneered in his heart, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
I have never met that cheap grandpa, and he may not even know that his grandson exists.
That he often talks about himself?
Liar ghosts are not that deceptive!
In an instant, Zhou Peirong's impression of Wen Zhuo fell below freezing point.
As if he had read through Zhou Peirong's thoughts, Wen Zhuo shook his head helplessly, then nodded his hand and called someone over.
Seeing this person, Zhou Peirong's face couldn't help but be startled.
"Are you... the owner of the store who has been to Xifeng Town before to sell groceries?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Boss Zhuang smiled bitterly and nodded, then added softly: "I also have another identity, that is, the master's personal servant.
And the reason why I pretended to be a salesman was to look for traces of your family!"
"Looking for traces of our family?"
Zhou Peirong glared at Boss Zhuang with hatred and roared angrily.
"What are you doing to our family? Hmm? Do you still want to break up our family and take my mother back?"
"No, I don't mean that. I just want to see the daughter I miss most at the last moment of my life, that's all!"
Boss Zhuang waved his hands hurriedly and explained continuously.
