Chapter 1710: Unexpected
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After graduation and entering society, the world was much more realistic. That young lady wanted to find someone with money who would allow her to lead a good life. That was why she did not take a fancy to her young and foolish son. She would not pass her judgment on this lady’s character. All she had to say was that this young lady was not genuine and was not sincere in wanting to spend her life with her son.
Qiao Zijin was indeed no good. Neither did she say that Qiao Zijin was good. The problem was that Qiao Zijin only had a bad temper when she was back at her own house because she had been spoiled rotten by her own family. But once Qiao Zijin married into the Zhou family, she was obedient. In the almost ten years that she had been married, she had never once caused trouble for her apart from having an affair.
Qiao Zijin was unwilling to go out to work and wanted only to stay at home. But she spent only as much as her son gave her. Qiao Zijin had never fought with her over managing the family or money at home. The way Mother Zhou saw it, Qiao Zijin had led quite a decent and honest life in the Zhou family in those few years.
On the other hand, she felt that this new daughter-in-law was a troublemaker. Not only would she make Zhou Zheng rebel against her, but she would also stir up trouble in the Zhou family, disrupting their peace.
So no matter how good this woman was, she could not even match up to Qiao Zijin. At least, she did not have to worry about Qiao Zijin. As for this new daughter-in-law, she would have to worry about everything. What Mother Zhou could not accept the most was that her son had always listened to her and had enjoyed a close relationship with her while Qiao Zijin was the Zhou family’s daughter-in-law.
It was only the second day of her new daughter-in-law entering the Zhou family, and yet, that obedient and filial son of hers was already screaming and shouting at her. Just listen to what she had said! What did she mean by this second wedding not matching up to her first? Only a deaf person would not be able to tell that this new daughter-in-law of hers was feeling aggrieved over this wedding. That was why she had hoodwinked her son!
Mother Zhou had been strong and capable her whole life. Was she going to let this b*tch get a hold on her now that she was old?
Absolutely not!
She did not need her son to support her, so why did she have to live her life looking at her daughter-in-law’s mood? Besides, now that Qiao Zijin was gone, it was just as well that they could live as a couple along with their granddaughter. With their granddaughter who had such a sweet mouth, why would she still need her son? If her new daughter-in-law liked him, she would just give him to her.
She had heard stories of sons neglecting their moms once they married their wives. She had never expected that her son, who was already in his thirties, would undergo such a drastic change overnight. He was suddenly making up for whatever rebellion he had not expressed in his teenage years.
Father Zhou was a man who loved his wife deeply. Seeing how infuriated Mother Zhou was at their son, Father Zhou also felt that his son was not as lovable as he used to be. “Since we’re already living apart, let’s just treat it as though we’re two completely separate families. If you’re grateful to us for raising you up and giving you an apartment to live in, you’re always welcome to come and visit us if you’re in the mood to do so. If you think that we’ve failed as your parents and have let you and your Huihui down, that’s fine too. It’ll be better for you not to visit, then. At least, you won’t anger your mom and me, and we’ll be able to live longer lives. No matter what, we were the ones who gave birth to you. Just take it as though you’re repaying our kindness for that. How’s that?”
Not only had he been chased out by his parents, but his own birth father had even chastised him in this manner.
When he first arrived, he had been fuming and feeling that his parents had been too extreme. Now, Zhou Zheng felt ashamed. “Dad, that’s not what I meant. Of course I know how hard you and Mom worked to raise me. I…” In an instant, Zhou Zheng had no idea how to explain the tantrum that he had just thrown.
“Don’t just go ‘I, I’. Can’t you see that your mom is angry? All right, you’d better go back and find your Huihui. I fed you, clothed you, provided for your education, and even bought a car and a house for you. Now, I have only one request to make. If you really care about your mom and me, you can come. But if you feel that you will only make your mom angry if you were to come, then just don’t come. Sounds good?”
Father Zhou was not going to fall for Zhou Zheng’s words. He opened the door and invited Zhou Zheng to leave. Father Zhou’s words had indeed been gentler than Mother Zhou’s, but he had also directly opened the door and chased Zhou Zheng out. That was an even tighter ‘slap’ in Zhou Zheng’s face.
Upon finding out that Zhou Zheng had gone to her in-laws but had not only failed to seek justice for her but had also been chased out of the door because he had angered his mom, Huihui flew into a rage.
Thankfully, Huihui calmed down very quickly. She was still young and had a long way to go with Zhou Zheng. She knew that the Zhou family’s background was good. Even if Zhou Zheng did not have any money, the Zhou family did. As long as she married Zhou Zheng and waited for the old couple to pass away, no matter how much those two elders disliked her, their money would still eventually land up in her hands.
As for the matter of marriage, if she were to argue with Zhou Zheng and lose his favor, that would truly be a mistake on her part. She would have fallen into the trap of those two elders.
Before long, there was something that made Huihui overjoyed. She was pregnant with Zhou Zheng’s child! During her first marriage, Huihui had given birth to a daughter. It was because of this that she had not had a good life in her in-laws’ after giving birth to her daughter. Thankfully, Huihui herself was a female and liked daughters. As such, she never put it against her daughter for being a girl. Even after she got divorced from her rich husband, Huihui was firm in her decision of taking custody of her daughter after the divorce before marrying Zhou Zheng.
This time, Huihui had many more considerations than when she had been pregnant the first time around. Only after marrying into the family did Huihui realize that the Zhou family was actually quite rich. When she had been dating Zhou Zheng, the Zhou family had already been in quite a good position. They could match up with her ex-husband’s family.
If she had known about the Zhou family’s conditions at that time, she would never have broken up with Zhou Zheng. Instead, she would have clung on tightly with all her might to Zhou Zheng and simply marry Zhou Zheng. Her ex-husband was slightly richer than Zhou Zheng and slightly older, but he was nowhere near as good as Zhou Zheng in every other aspect.
What she had not expected was that after her second marriage to Zhou Zheng, the conditions of the Zhou family far exceeded that of her ex-husband. Her ex-husband’s family was not even as rich as the Zhou family, and their only son would inherit everything the family had!
Those two old people had money, houses, and even factories. Surely they would want a grandson to inherit everything they had!
As she rubbed her belly that was not yet showing, Huihui firmly hoped that this child would be a boy. She had an intuition that this child would for sure be a son.
After ten months of pregnancy, Huihui’s wish finally came true. She had indeed given birth to a son!
Holding his son, Zhou Zheng smiled like a fool. Not only was this a son, but this was also a son from his first love! Zhou Zheng could not love this son any more than he did!
