Chapter 234 Zhou Family Arrangements
Wu Yunshang had no appetite for the meal, which attracted the attention of her father-in-law, husband and son who were sitting at the same table with her.
"Yun Shang, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so absent-minded?" Old Master Zhou noticed that his eldest daughter-in-law was abnormal and asked.
The eldest daughter-in-law has always been steady and rarely behaves like this. She only behaved in such an abnormal way when her in-laws were in trouble.
Thinking of her old relative, Old Zhou sighed again. It was difficult for her. She had to endure it for the sake of the Zhou family.
When Wu Yunshang heard her father-in-law asking about her, she quickly retracted her wandering thoughts and said, "Dad, I'm fine. I just have some problems at work and I'm a little troubled."
"Wife, if you are not happy at work, then we might as well quit." Zhou Yunting looked at his wife.
Seeing him bringing up the past again, Wu Yunshang quickly said, "Why should I not work? If I stay at home idle every day, I will get sick.
It’s better to go out and work, do something to kill time.”
"Mom, I think you should just listen to my dad and sell your job.
It’s better to go home and rest than to worry about work all day long.”
Wu Yunshang glanced at him unhappily and said, "If you are willing to take over my job, I can retire now.
Or you can find a wife and give me a granddaughter. I can stay at home to look after her and won’t have to go out to work.”
"Mom, you got it.
With your job, you deal with women all day long. How can a grown man like me hang out with women?
Besides, I’m not even 18 yet, so why should I get married?
If you want to take care of grandchildren, my eldest and second brothers have several, you can just bring them over to take care of them." Zhou Mingxuan retorted.
Wu Yunshang said to Zhou Mingxuan, "I don't want to take care of my grandson, I just want you to find a place to stay as soon as possible.
If you don't want to take over my job, I can swap with someone else who's a suitable job for you.
It's been several months since you graduated from high school, but you've been refusing to go to work or join the army. This is not a good thing.
A few days ago, those people were talking about the fact that no one in our family went to the countryside. If you don't go to work, don't join the army, and just hang around at home, I'm afraid they will find something wrong with you and force you to go to the countryside."
"Just go to the countryside. I said before that I wanted to go with grandpa, but you guys wouldn't let me." Zhou Mingxuan said indifferently.
Wu Yunshang said angrily, "Going to the countryside with your grandfather, is that going to the countryside? That's being sent down to the countryside.
You thought being demoted was so fun,
Your grandfather broke off the relationship because he was afraid of bringing trouble to us. You want to waste his efforts.
You haven't learned your lesson from last time, and you're determined to drag the entire Zhou family down with you."
“You think I don’t miss your grandpa, don’t want to take care of him and accompany him, but we can’t be so selfish.
If it were just the two of us, mother and son, we would just accompany him down, but you have to think about how big the Zhou family is.
Those people are obviously using your grandfather as a springboard to drag the Zhou family into the water. We have fallen into their trap.
I've told you so many times, why don't you listen? "
Wu Yunshang was so angry that she slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table and glared at Zhou Mingxuan.
This child has a stubborn temper. If he doesn't use a heavy drum hammer, who knows what kind of trouble he will get into.
"Your grandfather's health requires a doctor, and your nephews are so young, do you think they can endure the hardship of being sent down to the countryside?
Not to mention being sent down to the countryside, you have seen the scenes of struggle sessions before, do you want them to endure that?"
Seeing his mother talking about this again, Zhou Mingxuan defended himself, "Why are you talking about this again? I have been looking for news about grandpa recently."
Putting down the bowl in his hand, Zhou Mingxuan said, "I'm full, Grandpa, Dad, Mom, you guys take your time eating."
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside, apparently planning to hide outside.
Mr. Zhou sighed, "Yun Shang, you know that kid's temper, why are you saying this in front of him again?
Our family owes our father. It is normal for this filial child to be unable to let go of his grandfather.
This child has been well-educated by your father, and is kind, righteous, and filial. "
"Dad, don't worry, I provoked him on purpose.
You and Yun Ting have dinner first. After dinner, I have something to tell you."
When Zhou Yunting heard this, he put down the bowl in his hand and said, "I'm full."
“I’ve almost eaten.
Seeing how uneasy you seem today, something big must have happened.
If you have anything to say, just tell me. ", Mr. Zhou also said.
"Dad, let's go to your study and talk about this. This matter is of great importance and cannot be known to others."
"Okay, let's go to the study," said Mr. Zhou, and then he stood up and went upstairs to the study on the third floor.
Wu Yunshang first went back to her room to get the letter, and then went to the old man’s study on the third floor.
Without hiding anything, she revealed a letter she had received from a stranger, the contents of the letter, and her guesses.
Mr. Zhou and Zhou Yunting listened to her silently without saying a word.
After she finished speaking, Mr. Zhou asked, "Yun Shang, are you sure that no one else knows about the things mentioned in the letter except you and your father?"
"I'm sure of it," Wu Yunshang said firmly.
Zhou Yunting said to Mr. Zhou beside him, "Dad, I think Yunchang's guess is correct. This letter should be sent by my father-in-law to report that he is safe."
Mr. Zhou nodded, "I think the same as you.
If someone wants to gain our trust and frame us, Old Wu will not cooperate.
But things are not peaceful right now, and many eyes are watching us, so we should be on the safe side and have someone investigate it."
Mr. Zhou looked at Wu Yunshang and said, "Yunshang, it is my Zhou family that has let you down.
In order to prevent the Zhou family from being dragged into trouble, I failed to save your father."
Wu Yunshang shook her head, "Dad, you don't have to say these words, I know you have tried your best.
Under the circumstances at that time, even if you tried your best, you couldn't save him and might even be dragged down.
Those people are obviously coming for the Zhou family."
“It was also thanks to your efforts that my father didn’t suffer too much.
It was because of my father that you and Yun Ting were restricted in every way and almost fell into ruin."
Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "We are all family, so don't say such things.
Before, I was being watched all the time, and I couldn't ask anyone to investigate the whereabouts of my in-laws. Now that someone has delivered the address to me, other things will be easier to handle."
"Yun Shang, don't be in a hurry to reply. I will arrange for someone to go to the production team to investigate and see if your in-laws are there.
Are you safe or are you being held hostage?
After confirming that there is no problem, you can reply to that person. ", Mr. Zhou instructed.
Wu Yunshang nodded and agreed, "I'll listen to you."
"Dad, it will take a lot of time to send someone to investigate over there." Zhou Yunting was worried that his wife would not be able to speak, so he asked directly on her behalf.
Mr. Zhou said confidently, "Your father has been a soldier all his life. It would be an exaggeration to say that his old subordinates are spread all over the country, but you can't be prepared for subordinates to have subordinates.
People like us all have a few trustworthy people under our command.
It's not like I'm asking you to do anything big, it's just a small matter, it can still be done.
There is no need to send people from the capital, and we won’t be discovered by those people.
However, it may take a little longer because after all, we cannot conduct the investigation in a high-profile manner, but have to do it secretly, which makes us feel a little restricted.
But there will be news in about seven or eight days at most."
He looked at Wu Yunshang, “Yunshang, since we have waited for so long, we don’t mind waiting a few more days.
You can slowly collect some things these days and send them to your in-laws when the time comes.
It's very cold in the Northeast, so prepare some cotton coats, cotton pants and other warm things, as they will be needed there.
After the news was confirmed, I found a way to send it to that person without being noticed by others."
Wu Yunshang nodded and said, "Dad, I understand.
But I’d better keep it secret from Mingxuan for now, and tell him after I get the exact information about my father.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that his stubborn temper might cause trouble again."
"It's all up to you," Mr. Zhou agreed.
