Chapter 288: Chapter 287 True or False First Love 87_1

Zhou Lina knew that this matter would definitely cause a huge sensation and had considered waiting until the attention died down and Zhou Yong’s son got older before probably not letting them divorce.

Unexpectedly, not long after Zhou Dajiang’s divorce, Zhou Yong followed suit and divorced Luo Lili.

According to rumors, Luo Lili was completely against the divorce, even kneeling down, but Zhou Dajiang and his son were unyielding and insisted on the divorce.

Everyone had thought that the Luo Family would surely visit and hope that Zhou Yong wouldn’t divorce Luo Lili.

What they didn’t expect was that the Luo Family had no reaction whatsoever, staying home except for necessary outings, not venturing out at all.

Zhou Lina quickly figured out the Luo Family’s behavior, "Luo Lili’s reputation is ruined, but getting married to someone in the countryside or an older man in the city, she still has some prospects."

Luo Lili had a child, but because she took good care of herself during her confinement, she didn’t look old and could still deceive others to some extent.

"Getting remarried, she could still receive another bridal price."

"If Luo Lili still feels that her family home is best and her support, and continues to take care of her family, isn’t it just another source of income for the Luo Family?"

Zhou Lina spoke indifferently about the Luo Family’s actions, "Even if she can’t marry off, having Luo Lili do some handicraft work can earn money and she can do household chores as well."

Zhou Xuan listened to Zhou Lina’s analysis, "No way, she’s already been used by her family several times, how can she still be so foolish?"

He thought that people couldn’t be that foolish, "It’s not just being taken advantage of once, but at least twice."

"And it’s not small problems, but huge ones." Zhou Xuan really didn’t understand how there could be someone so foolish.

It was not strange for Zhou Xuan to think like this, as anyone would feel the same.

"Growing up with the belief that the younger brother is the one to depend on, even though she could have a good life on her own, she still habitually wants to treat her brother well."

A person who has been subjected to PUA for over a decade, some things are truly etched into their bones, and there’s really no hope that they will change, it’s absolutely impossible.

"Anyway, whatever her life turns into, it’s her own choice." Zhou Lina would absolutely not pity Luo Lili at all,

Even including those relatives of Zhou Dajiang who had previously feasted on the blood and flesh of Zhang Shifen and Zhou Lina mother and daughter, none would have a good end.

As everyone was discussing the news of Zhou Dajiang and his son’s divorces, Zhou Juan and Zheng Weijian returned quietly to their old home after several years away.

Getting off the train and seeing the familiar scene in front of her, Zhou Juan couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Only by stepping on this land did she truly feel that she was back, finally back to this place.

Zheng Weijian also took a deep breath, "We’re back."

Finally back to this place, this was his territory, and he didn’t believe that Zhou Juan could continue to be bullied.

Zhou Juan took three steps and realized that Zheng Weijian had not followed, "Why aren’t you moving?"

"You’re just leaving, not carrying any luggage?" Zheng Weijian said with displeasure.

What? He actually wanted her to carry the luggage? Zhou Juan raised her fist to Zheng Weijian, and he suddenly remembered those unbearable days from the past.

Not daring to let Zhou Juan carry the luggage, he promptly picked up the bags and left.

The Zheng Family Couple, who had timed their arrival at the station to pick people up, saw Zhou Juan coming out empty-handed, wondering whether she hadn’t brought any luggage.

Seeing a familiar figure burdened with big and small bags, it worried Mother Zheng, "Zhou Juan, why aren’t you taking your luggage?"

"Isn’t Zheng Weijian there? If you’re reluctant, you take it." Zhou Juan retorted directly, with absolutely no intention of buttering up.

Through the complaining letters from Zheng Weijian, Mother Zheng knew about Zhou Juan’s temper, but she thought that after all, she was the mother-in-law and should be given some respect.

Unexpectedly, there was no respect given, and just as Mother Zheng was about to speak up, Father Zheng silenced her with a look.

This really infuriated Mother Zheng, who had been tolerant before, but now she had to endure even when she saw them. How long would this go on?

"Wait until we get back," Father Zheng whispered into his wife’s ear.

Mother Zheng thought about it and agreed, as the girl had a mean streak, and what if she started crying and making a scene?

Zhou Juan noticed the eye contact between the family of three, but she really didn’t care; in the countryside over the past few years, she’d genuinely grown much stronger.

Even if all three of them came at her, Zhou Juan wouldn’t be afraid; moreover, she believed that as long as she firmly disciplined them a few times, they wouldn’t dare to cause any more trouble.

No sooner had the group of four arrived home and just closed the door than Zhou Juan spoke up first, "Who’s going to come at me, one by one, or all together?"

"Or what?" She suddenly grabbed Zheng Weijian and punched him several times, making him cry out in pain.

"Of course, if you’d like to give it a try individually, I really wouldn’t mind," Zhou Juan said with a smile.

Zhou Juan’s sudden attack stunned the Zheng Family Couple, with Zheng Weijian rolling on the ground in pain.

He hadn’t expected that even after returning to the city, in what was ostensibly his own home, he would still end up being the one most hurt.

"Mom, Dad, help me," Zheng Weijian signaled desperately to his parents for help.

Watching Zheng Weijian roll on the floor, Father Zheng swallowed hard and said, "Xiao Jian, you should listen more to your wife."

If you can’t beat them, it’s best to steer clear, as middle-aged folks can easily get seriously injured.

Once an accident happens, judging by the way Zhou Juan was acting, she certainly didn’t seem like she would take care of anybody, and relying on her son Zheng Weijian was even more out of the question.

Though Mother Zheng wanted to throw a tantrum, she was intimidated by Zhou Juan’s fighting style.

Zheng Weijian was astonished to see his parents’ cowardice; he had thought that once back in the city, if Zhou Juan wanted to bully him, someone would help him out.

But he hadn’t expected his parents to be such pushovers, which made Zheng Weijian furious and once again his resentment towards his parents welled up.

If they had found him a job when he first went to the countryside, allowing him to return to the city earlier, would he have married Zhou Juan?

If he hadn’t married Zhou Juan, he imagined how wonderful his life would be now, like marrying Zhou Lina instead.

He knew that Zhou Lina didn’t take long after joining the steel mill to seize a good opportunity, and now she wasn’t just a junior accountant.

Not to mention she owned a large house, and Zhang Shifen was already working at the city’s General Union of Workers, already a minor leader.

Zhou Lina may have been fierce, but at least she didn’t resort to physical violence; the pain from Zhou Juan’s blows was very real.

Zhou Juan, unaware that Zheng Weijian was harboring thoughts of his "first love" while wailing, would have definitely given him another round of severe punishment if she had known.

"Right, where is our room? Don’t tell me it’s the small one; I want the big room, otherwise it won’t be enough when we have kids," Zhou Juan demanded.

"And the dowry you promised me, bring it out," Zhou Juan wasn’t really worried they would renege or not hand over the items.

The Zheng Family Couple had never considered giving a dowry since they had already married the daughter-in-law they disliked into their family.

But what to do now? Not give the items? It looked like she would be very unhappy otherwise.

Looking at them, it seemed they hadn’t prepared anything, or perhaps they had never planned to prepare anything at all.

But it didn’t matter to her; she had already expected this, "Give me money, a total of eight hundred, my personal money."

"Eight hundred?" Mother Zheng exclaimed in shock.

Zhou Juan looked toward her with a smile then feigned a punch in her direction, scaring her considerably, "Not too much, not too much."

"So, give me the money, or if you don’t have it, write an IOU," she said, being a reasonable person who wouldn’t be too cruel.
