Chapter 230: Chapter 230 True or False First Love 30_1

The elderly Zhou couple saw Zhou Hong carrying his luggage home and knew that it was Zhou Lina who had visited them yesterday.

Old Master Zhou let out a sigh of resignation after hearing what Zhou Lina said last night, "Fine, just move in."

"You were supposed to move at the weekend anyway, it’s just a day or two early."

Old Master Zhou realized that even after so many years as grandfather and granddaughter, he still didn’t understand Zhou Lina well enough.

Zhou Lina definitely had confidence, but she was taken aback to see Old Master Zhou give in so easily, not understanding why.

With a sense of resignation, she looked at the others, who all avoided her gaze, scared to look at her.

Zhou Bin really hated Zhou Juan; he was delighted to learn about her misfortunes and the retribution she faced yesterday.

The elders didn’t dare to spell out exactly what happened, but Zhou Bin did, recounting the events of yesterday.

Including the discussion about moving in together that Zhou Dajiang had at the dinner table last night, Zhou Hong then realized that last night’s events were inseparable from Zhou Dahai’s involvement.

Zhou Hong was truly infuriated, "Dad, how could you do this?"

It was originally a minor issue, and no matter how angry Zhou Lina was, it shouldn’t have led to a complete fallout with the Zhou family, yet Zhou Dajiang took such an action.

This just gave Zhang Shifen and the others the perfect opportunity, "You guys..."

Zhou Dahai was regretful now, but seeing Zhou Hong’s disapproving look, he also felt uncomfortable.

"She’s already been married twice, she won’t divorce your uncle." Zhou Dahai continuously reassured himself. Yes, they won’t get divorced.

"Right, they won’t get divorced," Yang Zhaodi kept insisting, they definitely wouldn’t get divorced.

Watching his parents deceive themselves, Zhou Hong closed his eyes, "Right, they won’t get divorced."

"But it’s not like they aren’t divorced, it’s just a couple living apart."

"Now that Zhou Lina already has a house, the little aunt has a place to stay, what’s there to worry about?"

"But will Zhou Lina get married? Would her in-laws be willing to let Zhang Shifen live with them?" Yang Zhaodi argued.

"Do you think anyone would marry someone like Zhou Lina with her attitude?" Zhou Hong said with disdain.

"I can guarantee that not many men would want to marry a dominant wife."

"Even if someone really marries her, no matter how strong she is, she will surely negotiate terms with the other party."

"In the future, well, uncle’s days..." Zhou Hong thought about his family moving back in, "In the future, there will be ten people eating at home."

"The expenses have increased by a good amount, with my second uncle coming over for meals every day, and the house can’t accommodate everyone." Zhou Hong noticed just now that one room really wasn’t big enough to fit five people.

"Right, grandparents, mom and dad, where will we live when our family moves back in?"

If possible, Zhou Hong would of course hope that his family could have a large room, but now the grandparents were living there, they couldn’t possibly ask the elderly to give up their room, could they?

People who were originally immersed in the joy of Zhou Hong’s family of three moving back suddenly looked at the small house and realized a big problem.

Even without counting Zhou Juan, this house was way too small to accommodate ten people—it would be exceptionally cramped.

Every room including the living room would be full of people, leaving no space for relaxation.

Yang Zhaodi also had an idea, suggesting that the elderly couple should move to Zhou Dajiang’s house. It was the same size, but with only two people living there, wouldn’t it be a bit wasteful?

But the elderly couple would surely be unhappy, and people around would surely talk, accusing them of only caring for the younger ones and neglecting the older ones.

Old Zhou looked at the not so big house and then remembered the much larger house that belonged to Zhou Lina, which he had seen when Zhou Hong moved.

Thinking about Zhou Dajiang’s house, which currently housed only two people, it truly seemed a bit wasteful, "Old madam, go and talk to Dajiang."

"Right now, only two of them are living there, leaving the house empty is also a waste."

Old Madam Zhou thought about it and agreed, "Alright, that’s a good idea."

Old Zhou knew this was a matter of weighing options, "Your brother is looking at Zhou Yong and is also discussing marriage matters. The girl’s family, upon seeing us live over there, might have objections."

"You should negotiate well with the other side, get them to move, or you can rent a bigger place outside."

Old Zhou would occasionally go over and see how the three children were living over there.

Moving abruptly into a smaller house, how could they be comfortable, they were definitely not used to it.

Renting a house? Zhou Hong certainly wanted to live in a big house, but the bigger the house, the more expensive it is,

With the income of just the two of them, after paying the rent, how much money would be left over, "As for Zhou Lina’s house, if it were rented out..."

"Someone is willing to pay a rent of thirty a month," Zhou Hong thought jealously, some people really do nothing and yet can earn so much money.

When Old Master Zhou said this, he was thinking about a monthly subsidy of ten yuan, but hearing that the monthly rent could be as much as thirty gave everyone quite a shock.

Yang Zhaodi hadn’t expected Zhou Hong to have such a big advantage, "Why is it so expensive?"

"There’s an independent kitchen, and also an independent bathroom, how many places have these conditions nowadays?"

"Besides, her house is on the top floor and even has an attic, which can accommodate seven or eight people without an issue."

"The family next door even built their own attic," Zhou Hong said enviously after seeing it.

"Forget it, let’s not think about it, there aren’t such big houses outside," Zhou Dahai didn’t want to dwell on these thoughts, more thinking would only upset him more.

"Even if there are, those are for the leaders to live in."

Even if the leaders had plenty of houses, they’d rather let relatives live in them than rent them out.

The house that Zhou Dahai and his family were currently living in was actually not small at all.

After listening to their conversation for a while, Yang Zhaodi knew that renting a larger house was impossible, and it would cost even more money.

"I think our house is big enough as it is," It wasn’t that Yang Zhaodi didn’t want to help Zhou Hong more.

But they also had another son and had to worry about his marriage arrangements.

Zhou Dajiang looked at the keys in his hand, feeling troubled, but when he heard Old Madam Zhou say the old couple planned to move in, he had no time to think too much about it.

He directly handed the pair of keys he had just received to his parents, "Mom and Dad, you can stay in the room I used to live in."

"Zhang Shifen has cleaned it up nicely." It wasn’t that he didn’t want the elders to live in a slightly bigger room, but the big room hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, and it was truly dirty.

Old Madam Zhou, who was originally a bit picky, stopped being choosy when she heard this; she didn’t want to clean the house before moving in, as that would be too tiring.

Zhou Yong, after washing up, returned home to hear that Zhou Dajiang agreed to let the grandparents live over, and he felt incredibly happy.

"Grandma, I really miss the food you cook. Once you’re here, my dad and I won’t have to eat in the canteen anymore." Of course, they also wouldn’t have to look at their uncle’s face anymore.

They could ask Old Madam Zhou to make whatever they wanted to eat; the more Zhou Yong thought about it, the happier he became, and he even laughed out loud.

Old Madam Zhou was stunned; she didn’t understand why at her age, she still had to cook.

She truly regretted it a bit, she really shouldn’t have agreed impulsively.

She remembered how the house had felt dirty and messy just yesterday when Zhang Shifen hadn’t cleaned it.
