Chapter 237: Chapter 237: True and False First Love 37_1

Ah, so when Zhou Dajiang realized this, he was truly taken aback. He could ignore where Zhang Shifen lived.

But he couldn’t ignore Zhou Yong’s marriage, "That end of the year..."

Old Madam Zhou hadn’t expected that, just after they had moved in, her grandson Zhou Yong would actually try to drive them away.

This really infuriated the old lady, who slammed the table and demanded, "What’s the meaning of this?"

"A mere girl who hasn’t even stopped reeking of mother’s milk, and she’s already plotting all sorts of schemes before she’s even entered the Zhou Family’s door."

"Once she marries in, I wonder if there’ll be any good consequences."

Having already experienced a daughter-in-law like Zhang Shifen, the old lady definitely did not want to encounter a granddaughter-in-law of a similar sort.

"Do you think your older brother’s wife is any better?" Zhou Yong didn’t like hearing anyone speak ill of his girlfriend.

In his heart, Luo Lili was the best, "Who doesn’t know that every time my sister-in-law goes back to her parents’ house, she’s laden with large and small bags?"

"Then when they come here, what do they bring?"

"And didn’t she fail to keep her promise to my aunt this time?"

"Hasn’t my aunt always been saying she feels unwell, and my sister-in-law promised to take her to see a doctor, yet did she go?"

"But if her parents get sick, she immediately takes them to the doctor, and she even asks my brother to go to the hospital to take care of them."

"When Grandpa and Grandma were hospitalized, my older brother and his family hardly visited a few times."

Zhou Yong had not wanted to say it, but really had no choice, since there were indeed people who acted even worse.

Old Madam Zhou hadn’t expected Zhou Hong’s wife to be such a person behind their backs.

The old lady looked at Yang Zhaodi, who quickly defended, "It really has nothing to do with me, I honestly didn’t know about this."

Yang Zhaodi also knew that it was impossible to completely clear her name, so she swallowed hard, "I knew she would slightly support her own family."

"But I honestly didn’t know she did it to this extent."

Yang Zhaodi glared fiercely at her eldest daughter-in-law, now feeling that it was useless to just focus on the daughter-in-law; she also had to question Zhou Hong.

She had to ensure that Zhou Hong took this matter seriously and thought about how to solve it.

In any case, this time she had to properly educate her eldest daughter-in-law and make her realize that even if she should support her own family, there was a limit to how it should be done.

Zhou Hong’s wife’s face turned pale, knowing that the days ahead would indeed be difficult.

"Grandma, mom..." Although she didn’t know how to explain, she still had to try to justify herself somewhat.

Old Madam Zhou stood up, "Dahai, Dajiang, go over."

"Not to mention the signed agreement, even without an agreement, Xiao Hong’s family has lived here for so long that when moving out, they need to clean up the house a little."

"You from the eldest’s family should also go help."

"The household chores will be taken care of by Xiao Hong’s family."

"After it’s cleaned up, then go and tidy up your place, even if you have to clean throughout the night."

Old Madam Zhou was so angry; she had originally thought Zhou Hong’s wife was good, though a bit calculative, but no harm done.

But she hadn’t expected her to be such a person; this matter would be left for Yang Zhaodi to teach her a lesson.

Zhou Hong’s wife was stunned; no way, she actually had to go clean the house overnight.

"I, I have to go to work tomorrow." She had already taken off a day today, and because they knew she was in a hurry to move, her boss showed understanding.

But if she continued to take time off, what would her boss and colleagues think?

Yang Zhaodi gave her a sharp look, "Whose fault is this?"

"If you had let the repairmen fix things this afternoon while you cleaned, would this have happened?"

"Let me tell you, it definitely wouldn’t have."

"It’s because you don’t understand."

"Now you’re anxious. Why didn’t I see you anxious and panicking before?"

"Alright, once you’ve washed the dishes, you can go over."

"Don’t think about slacking off."

"I really didn’t expect such a lack of manners."

Yang Zhaodi was now finding everything about the eldest brother’s household displeasing. Whenever she remembered her husband’s words, her disgust grew.

Why bother subsidizing them? They had wanted to ease the young couple’s burdens, let them enter the fray with less stress, save more money, and be prepared for the tremendous pressure of raising three children.

But this was how they were repaid, Yang Zhaodi glanced at Zhou Bin nestled beside her.

If Zhou Hong heeded her advice and made improvements, she would definitely favor the eldest son.

If Zhou Hong insisted on siding with his wife, well, really, that was too bad.

The money she and her husband earned was hard-earned, and they would certainly not give it to their daughter-in-law’s family.

Yang Zhaodi was also confident that the in-laws would not provide Zhou Hong with any covert financial support.

Indeed, as she thought, Old Zhou and his wife planned to have a serious conversation with Zhou Hong. If he supported his wife, they could forget about the eldest grandson.

After all, there were two other grandsons. Zhou Yong, for one, seemed to be just like Zhou Hong, and would likely obey his wife in the future.

They should instead focus their educational efforts on Zhou Bin. Since the eldest grandson had established his own household, he spent little time with them, often coming and going in a hurry.

Zhou Bin was young with a sweet mouth, always managing to keep the old couple happy.

"Grandpa, Grandma, let me walk you down," Zhou Bin thought with delight of his brother and sister-in-law’s misfortune.

He wasn’t old, but he knew that whether it was his parents or his grandparents, they only had so much to give.

If it all went to Zhou Hong and Zhou Yong, there wouldn’t be much left for him.

Now that they were in trouble because of their choice of daughters-in-law, who had made the grandparents so unhappy, this was his chance.

He might not have to go to the countryside as an ’educated youth’, but was that good enough?

Of course not. He needed money, and, if possible, a house, like the one they were in now. If he could inherit it, that would be great.

Zhou Bin had been scheming since he was young about how to surpass Zhou Hong and become the most satisfactory grandson to Old Zhou.

He had thought of many strategies, but unfortunately, there was no single best method; some things can only be tried once.

If he failed, Zhou Hong would keep an eye on him. He’d always known what his brother was like, and although he had moved out, he was still covetous of the family home.

The old man was very pleased with his youngest grandson’s behavior.

Zhou Hong’s wife, seeing her brother-in-law helping the elderly couple to Zhou Dajiang’s home, remembered Zhou Hong’s assessment of Zhou Bin; he never considered age and seniority.

If her husband knew that because of her mistake today, the grandparents were very dissatisfied with them and had warmed up to Zhou Bin significantly...

She knew her life would not be easy.

To appease them, they might severely restrict her, no longer allowing her to support her natal family as before.

Even the thought of providing minor support to her natal family would be rejected.

Especially after what Yang Zhaodi had just mentioned, that she had time to run to her natal home every day, what kind of daughter-in-law does that?

A daughter-in-law is supposed to be busy with all sorts of housework at home. She was really worried that she would end up bearing all the domestic work, and she wouldn’t even be allowed to complain.

Because of this, she deeply resented Zhou Lina, feeling that none of this would have happened if not for her actions. She could have continued to live a comfortable and carefree life, but now that they had just moved in, this was Old Madam Zhou’s attitude.

She dared not think about what would happen if they stayed longer and more problems arose. How ugly would their expressions turn?

Anyway, none of this was her fault; it was Zhou Lina who had gone too far, not leaving any face for them.
