Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

She knew that getting her youngest son to forgive his daughter would be much more difficult than getting him to forgive his father.

Moreover, this daughter is not one to listen to advice.

Meanwhile, the Hao family.

When Zhou Bingyi and his wife returned, Hao's mother was sitting in the living room on the first floor reading a book.

As for Hao's father, he has not yet returned.

Zhou Bingyi happily took out the two tubes of tea that Zhou Zhigang had asked him to bring, but Hao's mother remained calm.

He casually asked Hao Dongmei to deliver two canisters of tea to the small house.

After hearing what Hao's mother said, Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei's expressions both turned sour.

The Hao family has a small house specifically for storing gifts given to them by others.

The Hao couple usually don't touch the things that others give them; they just keep them in their small house.

But in Zhou Bingyi's eyes, how could the things his father gave him be the same as the things others gave him?

So when Zhou Bingkun heard Hao's mother ask Hao Dongmei to deliver the tea to the small house, he naturally felt very uncomfortable.

He felt that Hao's mother's actions were disrespectful to his father.

His father was so happy to have them deliver the tea, and this is how he got treated?

Although there is a big gap between the two companies, there is no need to go to this extent!

He's right here, won't you even bother to make a show of it?

At this moment, Zhou Bingyi suffered a heavy blow.

He couldn't help but think of what Zhou Bingkun had said to him before, and his heart became even more gloomy.

Hao Dongmei was naturally not able to hide Zhou Bingyi's changes.

In fact, not only Zhou Bingyi felt uncomfortable, but she was also very dissatisfied with her mother's actions.

So before going to sleep, she went to her parents' room alone and found her mother.

Hao Dongmei originally wanted to have a proper talk with her mother, but how could she be a match for her mother?

Before they could exchange more than a few words, Hao Dongmei was enraged by her mother's words: "Mom, you've really gone too far today! Those are two canisters of tea that Bingyi's father, my father-in-law, brought all the way from your province. He didn't even use them himself, but sent them all to you!"

"But you made me deliver it to the hut right in front of us. What do you mean by that?"

With a calm expression, Mrs. Hao pushed up her glasses and said elegantly, "What could I possibly mean? The gifts that others give to our family have always been kept in the small room, haven't they?"

"How can that be the same? Can Bingyi's family be compared to other families? That's Bingyi's father, my father-in-law, and our in-laws!" Hao Dongmei said angrily to her mother.

Seeing her indignant daughter, Hao's mother retorted, "Then what do you want me to do? Act all touched and happy in front of you, cheerfully accept the gifts, and then express my gratitude? Sorry, I can't do that! That's not your mother's style."

Hearing her mother's question, Hao Dongmei hesitated for a moment: "But, Mom..."

"Alright, Dongmei, if you still want to talk about this, I think we should just forget it. There's really no need," Hao's mother said, shaking her head at Hao Dongmei.

Hao Dongmei, interrupted by her mother, looked even more annoyed: "Mom, I understand now!"

"What did you understand?"

"I understand why you have this attitude!" Hao Dongmei said angrily to her mother, "Because deep down you don't want to acknowledge the Zhou family as your in-laws. You and Dad both feel that our family is not a good match for the Zhou family, and you think there's no need for any contact, and you find it troublesome!"

Hao's mother turned her head away after her daughter's words, unwilling to look at her, but she did not object.

Seeing her mother's reaction, Hao Dongmei felt even more distressed: "Mom, put your hand on your heart and tell me, if I hadn't married Zhou Bingyi, but instead married the son of some high-ranking official, would you still disown this marriage, would you still have this attitude?"

"I'm afraid I won't even have to ask; you'll all take the initiative to make arrangements!"

Hao's mother, furious, spread her hands and took a deep breath: "Hao Dongmei, you must be mindful of your words and actions! No matter who you're talking to, don't speak carelessly or make things up. You must remember this well."

But Hao Dongmei turned her head away, looking unconvinced.

Seeing her daughter's expression, Hao's mother suppressed her anger and said, "Fine, since you've brought this up, let's lay it all out. Take that example you just gave. If you had married the son of a high-ranking official instead of Zhou Bingyi, then of course we would have acknowledged the relationship. Why?"

"First, we promise we won't ask them for any favors; second, they won't ask us for any favors either. This is an equal and purely familial relationship, so why wouldn't we acknowledge it?"

But her words not only failed to persuade Hao Dongmei, but instead further enraged her.

Hao Dongmei retorted, "Did Bingyi's family ask our family for any help? Why did you treat them that way? In the end, it all boils down to this: you look down on the Zhou family and think our relationship is unequal, which is why you're putting on such a condescending attitude and lecturing me here."

"Hao Dongmei, you think I'm lecturing you from a superior position? You're my daughter, how am I being superior to you?"

Hao Dongmei gritted her teeth and looked at her mother, saying, "That's because you can't feel it! Mom, let me tell you the truth, ever since you and Dad went back to work, you've changed. You're not the same as before!"

“Even towards my daughter, you’re already wary, let alone Bingyi. Aren’t you just afraid that Bingyi’s family will ask you for help, Mom? But let me tell you, you’re wrong!”

At this point, Hao's mother's temper flared up: "Dongmei, you say we've changed? Yes, we have indeed changed! After going through something like that, who wouldn't change?"

“But you say our thinking is wrong, then I can tell you with certainty that your father and I are not wrong! We have more experience than you, we know more than you, and we see things more clearly than you. The one who is really wrong is you.”

Seeing her mother, who was clearly enraged, Hao Dongmei's expression changed; she hadn't seen her mother in this state for a long time.

Even so, she didn't stop: "Mom, you think I'm wrong because our family's status is higher than the Zhou family's now, and your and Dad's status is higher than Zhou Bingyi's parents'! But have you ever thought about it? The Zhou family is very ordinary now, but their three children are not ordinary at all!"

“Bingyi and Zhou Rong have both been admitted to Peking University, and they are destined to become people of status and position in the future. As for Zhou Bingkun, it goes without saying that not only Uncle Ma and Aunt Qu recognize and have high hopes for him, but even Professor Zhang Baili, a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine and the head of the expert group of the Central Health Care Committee, has taken him as his disciple and imparted all his knowledge to him. His future achievements will definitely not be bad!”

"But what about our family? How long can you and Dad stay in power? The Zhou family is not as powerful as ours now, but what about ten years from now, twenty years from now? If they treat your daughter like this then, how will you and Dad feel?"

Hao's mother's face turned very ugly; she understood what her daughter meant.

The daughter said that the Zhou family would be more prosperous than the Hao family in the future, and then the two families' status would be reversed.

These words made her very upset.

It wasn't just her daughter's words that bothered her; she was also thinking about her two missing sons.

If her two sons were still around, even ten or twenty years from now, the Zhou family would have no hope of catching up with the Hao family.

Seeing her mother's grim expression, Hao Dongmei unconsciously softened her tone: "Mom, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted you to stop being prejudiced against the Zhou family! When I married Bingyi, I was actually marrying above my station. If it weren't for me, he would have been incredibly successful by now!"

"Moreover, during those years, Bingyi's parents never looked down on me and treated me like their own daughter. I really think they are a very good family! You have opinions about them because you haven't met them. Once you have met them, you will understand that I am right."

Hao's mother remained silent.

She had to admit that when she and her husband were persecuted, it did indeed implicate their daughter.

At the time, Zhou Bingyi was happy that his wife and son accepted their daughter.

However, after they were reinstated, their mindset changed, and they felt that their daughter had been wronged.

Fortunately, Zhou Bingyi was later admitted to Peking University, which greatly reduced their animosity.

Even now, they still don't think much of the Zhou family.

However, according to the daughter, all three children of the Zhou family are very successful, especially Zhou Bingkun, who became Zhang Baili's disciple.

As the head of the expert group of the Central Health Care Committee, Zhang Baili was responsible for safeguarding the health of the bigwigs, so Hao's mother naturally knew his name.

If he truly values ​​Zhou Bingkun as his daughter claims, then with his connections, Zhou Bingkun's future is indeed limitless.

However, although Hao's mother was somewhat moved, she was not enough to immediately change her attitude towards the Zhou family.

In the end, the mother and daughter parted on bad terms.

The next day was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Since there is no 30th day of the twelfth lunar month this year, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is New Year's Eve.

Zhou Zhigang got up early in the morning to sweep snow in front of his house.

Zhou Bingkun carried Zhou Xiangdong over and said, "Dad, let me do it!"

Zhou Zhigang wiped his sweat and waved his hand, saying, "No need. I'm a workaholic; I need to find something to do!"

Chapter 305, The Zhou Family Father and Son Have Been Wronged! (Please Subscribe!)

Just as the father and son were talking, Zhou Bingyi arrived on his bicycle with Hao Dongmei.

"Bingyi, Dongmei, why did you come so early?" Zhou Zhigang asked with a smile.

After parking the car, Zhou Bingyi said to Zhou Zhigang, "Dad, I came early because I have something to tell you. Dongmei's parents said they'll be coming over this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhigang immediately dropped the large broom he was holding: "Will they eat at home? I'll have your mother and Zheng Juan prepare it right away."

“No…no need!” Zhou Bingyi pulled his father back. “Dad, Dongmei’s parents have a lot of things to do at home and won’t be staying for dinner, so it’s not necessary.”

Hao Dongmei chimed in, "Dad, my parents came here mainly to get to know you and Mom, meet you, and familiarize themselves with the place."

"Oh, right, Dad, my parents also asked me to tell you to thank you for the tea they sent them."

It turned out that after arguing with her daughter last night, Hao's mother came home and told her husband what had happened.

After hearing about the relationship between Zhou Bingkun and Zhang Baili, and with the persuasion of Hao's mother, Hao's father reluctantly agreed to meet with Zhou Zhigang and the others.

After hearing Hao Dongmei's words, a smile involuntarily appeared on Zhou Zhigang's face.

The fact that Hao's parents were willing to take the initiative to visit him greatly satisfied his vanity.

Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Bingkun beside him and asked, "Bingkun, your sister will be home this afternoon too, right?"

“Yes, their train is in the afternoon.” Zhou Bingkun nodded.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Zhigang said to Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, you don't need to pick up your sister and the others this afternoon. They can find their way here anyway. Let's start tidying up the house now, so we don't leave a bad impression on Dongmei's parents."

These words shocked Zhou Bingkun.

My dad is pretty good!

To entertain the high-ranking official's in-laws, he even neglected his most beloved daughter.

However, this suited him perfectly, since he had no intention of picking up Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng anyway.

Whether Hao Dongmei's parents will come is hard to say.

“Okay, Dad, I’ll listen to you!” Zhou Bingkun nodded.

Zhou Zhigang picked up the broom and said to Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun, hurry up and tell your mother and Zheng Juan, and then get to work."

Seeing Zhou Bingkun carrying Zhou Xiangdong into the house, Zhou Bingyi let Hao Dongmei go inside first, and then picked up a broom from the yard and swept the snow with Zhou Zhigang.

Zhou Bingyi was very unhappy with Hao's mother's reaction last night.

But when he heard this morning that his parents-in-law were willing to come and meet his parents, Zhou Bingyi's displeasure immediately vanished.

His thoughts were actually similar to Zhou Zhigang's; he felt that he was marrying above his station with the Hao family.

The reason Hao's parents are willing to come over is not only because of his wife Hao Dongmei, but also because of him.

So he was especially happy, which showed that his parents-in-law still valued him.

Urged on by Zhou Zhigang, the whole family got busy.

Even Zhou Boyan and Feng Yue helped wipe the table.

We were supposed to have a big family reunion dinner at noon today, but Zhou Zhigang insisted that it would have a smoky flavor and told Li Suhua and Zheng Juan to cook fewer dishes.

Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei both advised against it, saying there was no need to do that.

But Zhou Zhigang was determined to do it this way, and there was nothing anyone could do.

Zhou Bingkun also said something, and the relationship between father and son eased up a bit. At this point, there was no need to take Zhou Zhigang too seriously.

Despite saying she would cook less, Li Suhua still prepared several dishes.

The adults can go without eating, but there are three children in the family!

It's the Lunar New Year, we can't leave the children without food.

Because his in-laws were coming over in the afternoon, Zhou Zhigang didn't bring out any wine for lunch; he just ate rice and vegetables.

At the dinner table, Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Bingkun and said with a smile, "Bingkun, it's a good thing you bought this house, otherwise if we were entertaining our in-laws in Guangzi District, we wouldn't even have a place to entertain them."

Previously, Zhou Zhigang felt very dissatisfied that his youngest son had a house but didn't live in it and insisted on buying a new one.

But now I feel that this place is much more respectable than the Guangzipian.

Meeting with the in-laws here at least prevents the Zhou family from losing face.

Hearing Zhou Zhigang's words, Hao Dongmei smiled and said, "Dad, my parents aren't that particular. They both came from poor times, so they don't care about these things."

“If your parents are not particular, that’s their business. It’s their first time visiting, and our Zhou family certainly can’t leave our in-laws without a place to stay,” Zhou Zhigang said seriously.
