The world of film and television begins with Zhou Bingkun in the human world.

Li Suhua has passed away!

This time, Zhou Bingyi didn't say he wouldn't come back.

Almost immediately after receiving Zhou Bingkun's telegram, Zhou Bingyi prepared to rush back.

However, due to her status, Zhou Bingyi's wife, Hao Dongmei, could not easily request leave; she needed to apply for eligibility. Therefore, Zhou Bingyi had to delay his leave for a day or two.

Zhou Rong originally planned to stay in Yanjing to stay with Feng Huacheng, but after hearing the news of her mother's death, despite her deep reluctance to part with Feng Huacheng, she still chose to return to Jichun City.

Of course, Zhou Rong's return to Jichun City was partly due to the death of her mother, Li Suhua. Another reason was that Feng Huacheng had been arrested, leaving her without a pillar of support and feeling panicked. She wanted to find someone to rely on, and Jichun City was, after all, the home where she grew up. So it was perfectly normal for her to choose to go home.

Besides, since Zhou Bingkun sent a telegram (the previous chapter has been slightly modified), Zhou Rong didn't know that her mother, Li Suhua, had died because of her, so she didn't feel guilty and naturally wouldn't be afraid to come back.

As for Zhou Zhigang, after receiving Zhou Bingkun's telegram, he naturally asked for leave to return home immediately.

As an eighth-grade construction worker, it wasn't difficult for Zhou Zhigang to ask for leave, especially since his wife had passed away. So, Zhou Zhigang, who had just returned to the Third Front, boarded the train to Jichun City again. However, because of the long distance, it wasn't something that could be done in a day or two for him to go home.

Of the three groups, Zhou Rong was the first to return home!

One reason was the convenient transportation between Yanjing and Jichun City; the other was that she had to set off earlier than the other two groups.

So almost the night after Li Suhua's death, Zhou Rong returned home in tears, her eyes red.

"Mom—" Zhou Rong cried with tears streaming down her face, feeling extremely heartbroken. As soon as she got home, she knelt down beside Li Suhua's coffin. Looking at Li Suhua lying in the coffin, she couldn't stop crying and even fainted. The people around her rushed to her aid and managed to wake her up.

"Zhou Bingkun!!! How did you take care of Mom? She was so young when she passed away! Have you been abusing her all along? Zhou Bingkun!!! I knew you were no good, you couldn't even take good care of Mom..."

Upon waking up, Zhou Rong immediately rushed to Zhou Bingkun and launched into a tirade against him.

"Snap—"

Zhou Bingkun wasn't going to tolerate Zhou Rong's behavior. He went straight up and slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground.

"Zhou Rong!!! How dare you curse at me? Do you even know why Mom died? It was all because of you! You secretly ran off to find another man, which caused Mom to have a brain hemorrhage and become a vegetable, lying in bed for so many years. She finally woke up, and it was you again! It was you again! Your man was arrested, and you didn't want to come back, fine, but why did you send your daughter back? Letting Mom know about your troubles, she was so frightened that she died. And you still have the nerve to yell at me?" Zhou Bingkun pointed at Zhou Rong and cursed.

The neighbors, who had initially been watching the spectacle, now became even more excited.

Especially when they heard Zhou Bingkun say that Zhou Rong had run away to find other men, their faces were filled with gossip.

"You, you—" Zhou Rong lay half-reclined on the ground, covering her face and looking at Zhou Bingkun in disbelief, as if she never dreamed that Zhou Bingkun would hit her, and she was even a little dazed.

However, Zhou Bingkun's next words pierced Zhou Rong's heart like a sharp sword. She never expected that the reason her mother died was because of him.

However, Zhou Rong is ultimately self-centered. She doesn't admit her own mistakes and instead blames others.

"You, couldn't you have kept it from Mom first? Why did you tell Mom about me? Couldn't you have kept it from her first and made up some excuse? It's all your fault, all your fault! If you hadn't told Mom directly, she wouldn't have gotten into this mess! And if you hadn't insisted on going to the countryside, would I have had to run away? If I hadn't run away, would Mom have been driven to a vegetative state by such anger? It's all your fault, Zhou Bingkun!" Zhou Rong tried to deflect all the blame, wanting to put all the blame on Zhou Bingkun.

"grass!"

Zhou Bingkun was furious at Zhou Rong's words. He stepped forward and kicked Zhou Rong directly in the face, making her face turn red and even knocking out one of her front teeth.

Those watching the commotion quickly stepped forward to stop Zhou Bingkun. Although a fight was more exciting to watch, it was ultimately inappropriate, especially since they were in the mourning hall and Zhou Bingkun could not be allowed to beat Zhou Rong.

Zhou Bingkun, who was being held back by a group of people, was unable to deliver a second kick to Zhou Rong.

"Zhou Rong! You beast! Is everything my fault? You're not at all at fault? When the educated youth went to the countryside, someone had to stay at home. Was it wrong for me to go? You never said you were going to find some other man! It's my fault that I was worried you, a woman alone, would be bullied and abused in the countryside? And this time, do you think I didn't make excuses? I made excuses! Even Mom believed you and Feng Huacheng were temporarily unable to come back. It was your classmate, your simp Cai Xiaoguang, who rushed to our house and told Mom about you. How could I stop him? Back then, when you ran away to find another man, it was Cai Xiaoguang who secretly arranged the paperwork for you, right!" Although Zhou Bingkun couldn't kick Zhou Rong anymore, it didn't stop him from pointing at her and cursing.

Zhou Bingkun had no intention of covering anything up for Zhou Rong; he was more than happy to peel off the mask Zhou Rong was wearing.

When Zhou Rong heard Zhou Bingkun's words, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. According to Zhou Bingkun, he really hadn't done anything wrong at all.

As mentioned before, Zhou Rong is an extremely self-centered person, so she immediately found someone to shift the blame to, namely Cai Xiaoguang!

"Aaaaah! Cai Xiaoguang! You're the one who killed my mother!!! I'll never forgive you!" Zhou Rong roared, got up from the ground, and rushed out of the Zhou family home.

Zhou Rong seemed to have gone to find Cai Xiaoguang, while Zhou Bingkun was being carried and supported by a large group of people, so he could only watch helplessly as Zhou Rong left.

Only after Zhou Rong left did these people release Zhou Bingkun.

Zhou Bingkun was furious, as if he was extremely angry. However, when he looked down and saw the pool of blood on the ground and the white tooth in the blood, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

The only regret is that he only slapped Zhou Rong once and kicked her once, and didn't kick her more often.
