Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Zhou Bingyi's face stiffened, and he immediately retorted, "Our situations are different! I've known your sister-in-law for a long time, and Mom and Dad know about it too."

"In my opinion, it's the same thing. At least I got Mom's consent, held a banquet at home, and notified relatives and friends. It was a proper and aboveboard marriage!" Zhou Bingkun said slowly. "But when you and your wife got married, your wife's parents probably didn't know, right? If you really think about it, you two got engaged without consent, which is much more serious than what happened between me and Zheng Juan."

"You..." Zhou Bingyi was speechless.

After a long pause, he looked at Zhou Bingkun and said, "Bingkun, it's been a few years, and you've even learned the art of being sarcastic and unsettling!"

“Brother, this isn’t sarcasm, it’s the truth!” Zhou Bingkun said calmly. “The reason Dad is dissatisfied with me is simply because Zheng Juan comes from a poor family! If she were like my sister-in-law, a child of a high-ranking official, do you think Dad would object?”

Upon hearing Zhou Bingkun say such a thing, Zhou Bingyi frowned and said, "Bingkun, what you said is too much! Dad isn't that kind of person!"

"Besides, your sister-in-law's family has long been in decline. If Dad is that kind of person, he wouldn't agree to my relationship with Dongmei."

Zhou Bingkun sneered, "That's because you and your sister-in-law knew each other when their family was still well-off! If Dad forbade you two from dating because of their family's decline, what would others think of him? For the sake of his own reputation, he wouldn't break you up!"

Zhou Bingyi's face grew increasingly grim as he listened, but Zhou Bingkun gave him no chance to refute: "I'll just ask you one question: if he hadn't agreed to your marriage with your sister-in-law back then, what would you have done?"

Zhou Bingyi remained silent for a long time.

The answer is obvious: even if Zhou Zhigang disagrees, he will still marry Hao Dongmei!

But if he says that, wouldn't he be just like his younger brother?

So he had no idea how to answer.

Looking at the silent Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "So, don't try to persuade me anymore. I know Dad better than you do, and I know what to do."

Zhou Bingyi was very depressed. Before he left, his mother, Li Suhua, pulled him aside and asked him to persuade Zhou Bingkun on the way.

But Zhou Bingkun's words just now left him speechless, so what was there to advise him on?

"Bingkun, it's been years since we last met, and you've truly impressed me!" Zhou Bingyi said with some emotion.

Zhou Bingkun stepped on the pedal and said calmly, "I was only seventeen when you left! If I hadn't become smarter, anyone could have bullied us."

“You might think that you suffer and work hard outside, while we enjoy ourselves at home, but what’s the reality?”

Zhou Bingyi remained silent.

His life in the Production and Construction Corps was not difficult at all; on the contrary, he was very free and even became a leader.

Therefore, he had no way to refute Zhou Bingkun's words.

Zhou Bingyi fell silent, and Zhou Bingkun shut his mouth as well.

The two arrived at the train station in silence and then waited quietly.

After a long silence, Zhou Bingyi finally spoke first: "Bingkun, I know you've suffered all these years! When I see Dad, I'll plead for you. Although Dad is a bit stubborn, he definitely knows how hard you've worked. But you know his temper; if you don't back down, he'll definitely get even angrier."

Zhou Bingkun did not give a direct answer: "We'll talk about it later!"

"Alas!" Zhou Bingyi sighed softly.

Upon returning and seeing Zhou Bingkun, he knew that this younger brother was no longer someone he could educate.

Zhou Bingkun has changed a lot, but his stubbornness has remained unchanged.

Faced with his younger brother like this, he found himself unsure of how to treat him.

Zhou Zhigang's train was indeed delayed, arriving after 3 PM.

Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Bingyi picked him up quickly.

"Dad!" Zhou Bingyi hugged Zhou Zhigang excitedly when he saw him.

Zhou Zhigang was also very happy. He patted his eldest son's back hard, tears streaming down his face: "It's been seven years since I last saw you, Bingyi. You've grown up a lot and are a real man now! Good, good!"

His son has grown up, and he has grown old.

In the past, he would never have been so sentimental and shed tears.

"Dad, you've suffered so much all these years!" Zhou Bingyi looked at his father, whose temples had turned white, and felt a mix of emotions.

Zhou Zhigang laughed heartily: "What suffering? What suffering haven't I endured in my life?"

After chatting for a while, Zhou Bingyi said softly, "Dad, Bingkun has come to pick you up too."

Zhou Zhigang certainly saw Zhou Bingkun, but he deliberately ignored him.

Unlike his satisfaction with his eldest son, he has been very dissatisfied with his youngest son over the years.

He clearly stated in his letter that he did not agree to the marriage, so what did Zhou Bingkun do?

As the head of the family, what he couldn't tolerate the most was his youngest son going against him.

But in recent years, his youngest son has been deliberately going against him.

He thought that Zhou Bingkun would immediately admit his mistake after seeing him, so that he could teach this brat a lesson.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhou Bingkun didn't say a word and let him talk to his eldest son.

This attitude made him even angrier.

Zhou Zhigang shouted at Zhou Bingkun, "Bingkun!"

Zhou Bingkun replied, "Dad!"

"You see me, and you have nothing to say?"

Zhou Bingkun said as if it were a routine: "Dad, you've had a tough journey, and you've had a tough time all these years."

Zhou Zhigang was so angry that his teeth ached.

Who is this brat trying to annoy?

Seeing his father's expression, Zhou Bingyi quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Dad, there are too many people here. Let's go back first. Mom is waiting for you at home."

"Hmph!" Zhou Zhigang snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied, and glared at Zhou Bingkun. "Take your things with you."

With that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Bingyi immediately picked up two bags and shook his head at Zhou Bingkun: "Bingkun, all my words just now were wasted!"

Zhou Bingkun picked up the other two bags expressionlessly and followed them.

Chapter 166, Zhou Zhigang, Enjoying His Grandchildren! (Please Subscribe!)

During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Bingkun never considered going against Zhou Zhigang.

The main problem is that Zhou Zhigang's attitude is too hypocritical.

They were both sons, yet he would chat and praise his older brother, only to turn on his own brother in an instant.

Even if he did something wrong about getting married, three years have already passed, so there's no need for this attitude, right?

Besides, he had already told them this, and at least he was much better than Zhou Rong, his own sister!

But what did Zhou Zhigang do for Zhou Rong?

What is their attitude towards him?

For Zhou Rong's sake, he was willing to travel thousands of miles to Guizhou Province to take the initiative to seek peace.

But now, when facing him, he doesn't seem like a nose or an eye.

Zhou Zhigang rode in Zhou Bingyi's car, and the two chatted and laughed all the way.

Zhou Bingkun followed behind them without saying a word.

Even when Zhou Bingyi intentionally brought him up, he would only give a brief reply.

In the same place, Li Suhua stood waiting again.

Yesterday she was waiting for her eldest son and daughter-in-law, but today she is waiting for the man she loves most.

"The father of my child!"

"Fuck you!"

The elderly couple's meeting lacked the passion and exuberance of that of young people.

But the two people embracing each other convey their love and longing for one another.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Li Suhua couldn't stop her tears, she was even more excited than when she saw Zhou Bingyi yesterday.

Zhou Zhigang whispered, moved, "Honey, thank you for everything!"

"It's not hard at all! It's not hard at all for you to be out there all alone."

At Zhou Bingyi's urging, Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua walked hand in hand to the front of their current house.

Li Suhua pointed to the house and said to Zhou Zhigang, "This is the house that Bingkun rented. It has three large rooms, so even if Rong'er and the others come back, it will be enough for them to stay in."

Zhou Zhigang snorted coldly: "So what if it's big? It's not his own house! There's no place like home! I think he just doesn't like his own house, that's why he moved here."

This is also one of the reasons why he was dissatisfied with Zhou Bingkun.

He built the house in Guangzipian brick by brick, and in his eyes, it was better than those big villas.

But Zhou Bingkun just moved out without warning. He felt that Zhou Bingkun was trampling on the house he had worked so hard to build, which was ungrateful!

Li Suhua nudged Zhou Zhigang and said with dissatisfaction, "What are you saying! It's the New Year, the child is just trying to be helpful. It's definitely more convenient for me to stay here than in Guangzipian. He's doing this for my own good."

Having gotten used to living here, she understood why Zhou Bingkun had moved here.

Not only is the accommodation comfortable here, but it's also convenient to buy things.

"Let's go inside, there are people waiting at home! You'll see your eldest grandson soon."

Li Suhua's words indeed drew Zhou Zhigang's attention.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Bingkun's behavior, he was also not very satisfied with Zheng Juan.

But he was filled with anticipation for his eldest grandson, whom he had never met before and who was now his only grandson.

He's already fifty years old; he's lived more than half his life.

For him, the next generation, and the generation after that, is what he looks forward to most.

Zhou Zhigang looked at Li Suhua and asked expectantly, "Is it Yan Yan? He should be almost two years old now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Suhua immediately smiled and said, "That's right, Yan Yan will be two years old soon! Don't underestimate him because he's still young, he's very smart and cute, you'll definitely like him when you see him."

As she spoke, she eagerly pulled Zhou Zhigang into the house.

Zheng Juan and Hao Dongmei were waiting inside the house.

Upon seeing Li Suhua enter arm in arm with Zhou Zhigang, both daughters-in-law stood up nervously.

Zheng Juan was more nervous than Hao Dongmei, and she nervously clung to Zhou Boyan.

She knew that she was able to marry into the Zhou family because Zhou Bingkun had kept it a secret from her father-in-law, so she was especially afraid that Zhou Zhigang would have a problem with her.

"dad!"

"dad!"

Hao Dongmei called out first, and then Zheng Juan followed with a soft call.

Zhou Zhigang replied with a smile, "Dongmei, Zheng Juan, hello! Please sit down, please sit down!"

His gaze then swept over Zheng Guangming beside him.

Zheng Juan quickly introduced, "Dad, this is my younger brother, Guangming."

Zhou Zhigang knew about Zheng Guangming's situation, so he smiled and said, "The young man looks quite spirited."

Upon hearing the voice, Zheng Guangming politely greeted, "Hello, Uncle Zhou."

"He's quite polite." Zhou Zhigang chuckled twice.

Then his gaze fell on Zhou Boyan in Zheng Juan's arms, and his dark face was full of smiles: "Let me guess, this should be our little Yan Yan, right?"

Zhou Boyan looked curiously at the strange-looking old man in front of him, tilting his head without making a sound.

Zheng Juan quickly urged, "Yan Yan, this is Grandpa. Have you forgotten what Mom told you?"

Upon hearing the reminder, Zhou Boyan finally spoke up, "Hello Grandpa, my name is Zhou Boyan, I'm two years old. Are you my dad's dad?"

"Hahaha!" Zhou Zhigang laughed and said to Li Suhua, "Look at how clever he is! He's completely different from Bingkun when he was a kid. He's much cleverer than him!"

“Yes, you’re right! She’s more clever and smarter than Bingkun,” Li Suhua said, going along with him.

The more Zhou Zhigang looked at Zhou Boyan, the happier he became.

Rubbing his hands together, Zhou Zhigang asked Zhou Boyan, "Yanyan, can Grandpa give me a hug?"
