Chapter 236: Chapter 236 True or False First Love 36_1

Yang Zhaodi was truly surprised, "That’s not right, your sister-in-law has always stayed there to clean, she just got home."

Still looking very tired, if she wasn’t there cleaning, where had she been?

"Zhou Family’s oldest, tell me, were you really there cleaning?" Yang Zhaodi was truly about to be driven mad.

She always said that Zhou Lina was not someone to be trifled with; everyone would have some concerns and didn’t want to blow things out of proportion.

But if it were her in that situation, she would have preferred to make as much of a scene as possible; she had clearly also warned that blockhead to behave herself.

Yet, when confronted, all sorts of promises were made, but as soon as one turned around, it was all lip service.

If no one had noticed, that would have been skillful, but instead, she was swiftly caught.

"Zhou Family’s oldest, you go." Yang Zhaodi really didn’t want to deal with such an embarrassing situation.

There was truly no face left to save, Yang Zhaodi thought she should never have allowed them to live by themselves right after getting married; they should have lived by her side for a few months instead.

They needed a good education to become a qualified eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou Family.

Zhou Lina didn’t care who the Zhou Family sent, "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou, you both signed on the rental agreement initially as guarantors."

"Now that the house has turned out like this, you can’t just act as if nothing happened."

"Aunt Gu said, you both need to go."

"Oh right, Aunt Gu also mentioned that since Brother Hong works at the machine factory, the union head has to be notified."

Hmph, having said that much, she didn’t believe they would continue to stay away.

What? No way, the members of the Zhou Family were stunned, "What did you say, we have to notify the union head too?"

Several swallowed hard, and after a while, led by the gazes of those around him, Zhou Dajiang stepped forward, "Xiao Na, we’re all family..."

"Don’t talk about family, I don’t have such scheming family members."

"Alright, I’m leaving."

"The head of the department is probably there by now."

Zhou Lina turned around and left without a second thought, not bothering to listen to Zhou Dahai and the rest bring up their so-called family unity defense.

What? The department head had already been notified? The Zhou Family panicked and were taken aback.

Yang Zhaodi acted even quicker, delivering several slaps to Zhou Hong’s Wife, "Look at the trouble you’ve caused."

"I told you, Zhou Lina has demanded that the house be restored to its original condition when we lent it to you."

"How can you not understand?"

"Didn’t you say you were busy there, working for four or five hours?"

"What exactly were you busy with?"

"Tell me, where did you really go?" A suspicion arose in Yang Zhaodi’s mind, "Did you go back to your parents’ house again?"

The thing Yang Zhaodi disliked the most about her eldest daughter-in-law was her constant financial assistance to her natal family.

She had not failed to remind Zhou Hong, but that foolish child said it was fine and that he had it all under control.

Under control of what? If he could manage things properly, would she behave this way?

No, it couldn’t go on like this. Since Zhou Hong couldn’t educate his wife properly, then she, as a mother-in-law, wouldn’t be blamed for being meddlesome.

The Zhou Family couldn’t afford to have such a two-faced daughter-in-law. It might have been overlooked before, but from now on, she definitely couldn’t be indulged.

The look in Yang Zhaodi’s eyes made Zhou Hong’s Wife shiver, an instinct telling her that her days ahead were not going to be easy.

Zhou Dahai looked at Zhou Dajiang, "Look at the wife you married."

Ever since Zhou Yong found out that his grandparents were living in their house, he had been in a very bad mood.

Although they had assured that they would move out once Zhou Hong and his family got their house,

the problem was when Zhou Hong would get the house, which was only half as big and meant to fit five people. It was uncertain whether they would all fit.

What if they discussed it and decided that the great-grandmother and the others wouldn’t move out after all?

"How is this my dad’s fault? It was my brother who was being inconsiderate in the first place."

"It was agreed upon and a guarantee signed. Aunt Zhang and the others did not even collect rent, so restoring the house to its original state is perfectly normal."

Zhou Yong knew that Zhou Hong was earning rental income from leasing out his house. Today, after talking it over with his girlfriend, she expressed concern about what if Zhou Hong didn’t want to give up the monthly rent and just refused to move out?

Currently, Zhang Shifen and Zhou Xuan were essentially living permanently in the steel factory apartment, and it seemed unlikely that they’d move back.

But having the grandparents there was also a hassle. His wife-to-be had already said she didn’t like living with the great-grandmother and others. What were they going to do then?

Great-grandmother was a blood relative, elderly, and couldn’t be expected to do any work—instead, they had to cater to her every whim.

Most importantly, from the way Zhou Yong had talked in the past, his wife could tell that Zhou Dajiang was extremely filial to his parents.

Of course, Zhou Yong’s girlfriend did not want to marry into the family and endure hardship, following the path of Zhang Shifen.

Without Zhang Shifen’s confidence, all she could do was share her thoughts and requirements before marrying Zhou Yong.

As for whether Zhou Yong would agree, she had no worries at all; she had him wrapped around her finger.

Having heard his girlfriend’s analysis, Zhou Yong had felt a twinge of guilt, remembering how kind his grandparents were to him as a child.

But after seeing that the couple, always claiming to have no money and unable to contribute much to his wedding, were able to give Zhou Hong’s three children five yuan each,

he overheard the old man discussing with Zhou Dahai about renting a larger house for Zhou Hong so the elderly and children could live more comfortably.

To support them, the old couple planned to contribute ten yuan each month.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yong truly wanted to burst out and give them a piece of his mind.

They were both grandsons, so why did Zhou Hong get so many favors? When it was his turn to get married, the elderly couple had given him a considerable amount, and that was just the public contribution.

He imagined the private subsidies must be generous as well, and Zhou Yong’s face twisted with resentment, the last shred of reluctance he felt earlier now completely gone.

The pity he felt for the old couple couldn’t outweigh their bias, "By the way, uncle, aunt, are you sure my brother and his family will move out by the end of the year?"

Zhou Dahai was already very unhappy about the house situation, and now Zhou Yong was causing a commotion, "Zhou Yong, what time is it now?"

"And you’re still making a fuss."

Zhou Dahai felt that Zhou Dajiang simply didn’t know how to control his children, utterly failing to see the situation, whether it be Zhou Yong, Zhou Lina, or Zhou Xuan, they were all the same.

Hearing Zhou Dahai speak up, Zhou Dajiang also signaled Zhou Yong to stop talking.

"I’m making a fuss, what fuss?" Zhou Yong was unhappy.

"Dad, Luo Lili came to see me today, asking how we were going to handle the wedding. I told her about the grandparents living at our place."

"Lili said that with the house only so big, add the grandparents, you and Aunt Zhang, Xiao Xuan, plus me, that makes seven people."

"What are we going to do when it’s time to get married?"

"We had even talked about getting married earlier."

"Now Lili says she needs to reconsider our relationship." Zhou Yong knew that his own marriage was a pressing concern for Zhou Dajiang.
