The world of film and television begins from childhood

As a senior official, Hao's father knew more details than Zhou Chen. The more he knew, the more shocked he was by Zhou Chen's words, and the angrier he became.

"In the final analysis, as the helmsman, you should bear the main responsibility for what happened. It is because of your inaction that Jiangliao Province has fallen further and further behind the domestic development situation."

"To be honest, I understand why this happened. The reason is very simple. You are no longer the person you were more than a decade ago. You have experienced such setbacks, which have worn away your ambition. Now, to put it bluntly, you are not enterprising and only want to maintain the status quo. You don't have the courage to make changes. What else can you expect from a helmsman who only seeks stability and not development and progress?"

"I can only describe you in one word: a slacker."

When Zhou Chen said the last four words, Hao's father seemed to have received a heavy blow. He collapsed on the sofa, one hand covering his chest, his face blue and purple.

Jin Yueji had no time to be angry. She rushed into the study in panic, picked up the asthma medicine and gave it to Hao's father.

Zhou Chen watched this scene silently until Hao's father slowly calmed down. Then he sneered and turned away.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt refreshed.

Father Hao slowly recovered, but his eyes were fixed on the direction Zhou Chen left.

"Zhou Bingkun, Zhou Bingkun, OK, OK."

Listening to her husband's devilish roar, Jin Yueji was also shocked. As his wife, she naturally knew what kind of personality Hao's father had.

After all these years, this was the first time she had seen someone who could make her husband so angry. This Zhou Bingkun really made her wonder how to evaluate him.

"Old Hao, calm down. Dongmei said that Zhou Bingkun is just a literati poet. People like him say the most unpleasant things. Don't take it too seriously."

But Father Hao seemed to have not heard anything and continued to chant Zhou Chen's name...

After leaving the Hao family, Zhou Chen smiled again and returned to Ma Shouchang's house. He stayed there for a while before leaving with his wife and children.

He didn't say a word about what happened at the Hao family.

After returning home, Zhou Chen found that Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei were gone. After asking, he learned that they had already left.

He knew that what happened today would not just pass like this, but he didn't take it to heart.

dinner time.

Li Suhua asked Zhou Zhigang, "Dad, if I remember correctly, you will be able to retire in a few years, right?"

Zhou Zhigang is a construction worker, a job that can be considered hard, dirty and tiring. Under normal circumstances, he could retire at the age of 55, but he is now supporting the Third Front, so he needs to delay his retirement for a few years, so he has to work for a few more years.

Zhou Zhigang said: "It should be five or six years before I can retire."

"Five or six years, that's pretty fast."

Five or six years is not a short time, but for Li Suhua, who is used to waiting, it is not a long time.

Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Mom, when my dad retires and stays at home every day, you will definitely find him annoying. You will miss him when you don't see him, and you will get annoyed when you see him."

"Hahaha……"

Zhou Zhigang burst out laughing. This could really happen.

While we were chatting and laughing, there was a loud knock on the door.

"It's so late, who is it?"

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhou Rong couldn't help but mutter.

"Zhou Bingkun, open the door, Zhou Bingkun, open the door for me quickly."

"Brother's voice, what's going on?"

Zhou Rong stood up and looked at Zhou Chen with a puzzled look, because from the shouting outside, it felt like someone was here to cause trouble.

Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua both frowned and looked at Zhou Chen who was eating calmly.

"Bingkun, what's going on?"

Zhou Chen put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "He came to vent his anger on behalf of his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Zhou Zhigang felt something was wrong when he heard it, and asked again: "Bingkun, what did you do?"

But before Zhou Chen could answer, Zhou Bingyi rushed in angrily, ignoring everyone else, walked to the table, pointed at Zhou Chen and yelled: "Zhou Bingkun, are you sick? Who told you to go find Dongmei's parents? What did you do to make Dongmei's father sick?"

"What? Did Bingkun make my in-laws sick?"

Zhou Zhigang cried out, Li Suhua and the others were also shocked, including Zheng Juan who went to the provincial compound with Zhou Chen today, she didn't know what was going on.

Zhou Bingyi heard his father's voice and explained angrily, "Yes, Dongmei's nanny said that Bingkun went to Dongmei's house this afternoon and had a big fight with Dongmei's parents. After he left, Dongmei's father fell ill and they almost called an ambulance."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhigang also stood up with anger on his face, and shouted at Zhou Chen: "Bingkun, who asked you to go to Dongmei's parents? What did you do to make them so angry that they were sick?"

He was angry and scared.

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were even more frightened. They both knew how powerful Zhou Chen was and had experienced it before.

But the situation this time is different. Those are senior provincial officials. Zhou Chen actually managed to make them sick with anger. How courageous and capable does this take?

Feng Huacheng was secretly thankful that he did not confront his brother-in-law head-on, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Zheng Juan also pulled Zhou Chen anxiously and whispered, "Bingkun, what's going on? Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhou Chen looked calm, patted Zheng Juan gently to comfort her, and then said to Zheng Guangming: "Guangming, take Ruirui, Yueyue and Congcong into the room to play for a while."

Zheng Guangming stood up immediately. Zhou Rui and the other three children were also very obedient. They followed Zheng Guangming, left the dining table and walked into the bedroom.

After the children left, Zhou Chen slowly stood up and looked directly at Zhou Bingyi who came to question him in an aggressive manner.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 606: The Zhou Family, the Hao Family

"Brother, look at how aggressive you are, do you want to kill me or something?"

Zhou Bingyi came here with a lot of anger, and now hearing Zhou Chen's provocative words, his anger increased a little bit.

"Zhou Bingkun, I'm asking you a question now. What on earth did you do at Dongmei's house? You made Dongmei's father so angry. If anything happens to her father, can you bear the consequences? Then our whole family will suffer with you."

Zhou Chen sneered and said, "I don't think you are afraid that your whole family will suffer with me, but you are afraid that you will be implicated by me."

"you……"

"What happened to me?"

Zhou Chen did not give Zhou Bingyi a chance to refute, and directly said in a stern voice: "What qualifications do you have to question me? You said that your father-in-law became ill because of me. Did he tell you personally? Did you find out the reason clearly? Why do you come here to question me aggressively?"

"Just because he's sick doesn't mean he's right."

Zhou Bingyi was furious, and his momentum was greatly weakened by Zhou Chen's sudden retort, but how could he let it go?

"The facts are already in front of you, and you still want to quibble, Zhou Bingkun, why didn't I see that you have this ability before? Who told you to go to Dongmei's house? What qualifications do you have to look for Dongmei's parents? Who do you think they are? Who do you think you are?"

"who do you think You Are?"

Zhou Chen retorted with the same sentence, and then said in a cold tone: "Zhou Bingyi, don't forget that your last name is Zhou, not Hao. You are the eldest son of the Zhou family first, and then the son-in-law of the Hao family. But look at what you did. Your father was bullied by your parents-in-law, and our dad tossed and turned and couldn't sleep or eat well, but you didn't say a word, but instead made excuses for them."

"Now, just because your father-in-law, a high-ranking official, is sick, you come home to question me without even asking the cause and effect. Are you Zhou Zhigang's son or Hao's son?"

These words were a bit hurtful, but Zhou Chen said them without hesitation, because Zhou Bingyi's actions had angered him, and there was no need for him to show mercy.

"You, you, Zhou Bingkun, how dare you say such words to me."

Zhou Bingyi was so angry that he was out of breath and his hands were shaking.

"If you can do it, why can't I say it?"

"Bingkun, shut up."

Seeing the two brothers quarreling and their words becoming increasingly unpleasant, Zhou Zhigang, as a father, could no longer bear it.

But Zhou Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhou Zhigang, and said with a very serious expression: "Dad, I know what you want to say, but what I want to say is that the more you want to get involved, the worse things will become."

"Think about how they treated you and our Zhou family. The gift I sent was sent back to me without any explanation. I don't know what you think, but this is a great shame and humiliation to me. It is an insult to our Zhou family. As a member of the Zhou family, I absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing."

"Zhou Bingyi, don't you want to know what I did to your parents-in-law? Then I'll tell you, I did go there on purpose today. I just want an explanation. If they look down on our Zhou family, then we should just cut off contact and never have any contact with them again."

"Do you know how your good father-in-law and mother-in-law treat me? You, Zhou Bingyi, are their son-in-law, and I am your brother. But when I came to their house, they didn't even let me sit down, didn't even give me a glass of water, and drove me away without saying a word. In their eyes, it was as if I came to curry favor with them. I think you must have experienced that kind of condescending attitude many times."

Zhou Bingyi's face turned pale. How could he not have experienced this? He was very clear about his position in the eyes of the Hao couple.

But that was all in the past. After the beginning of this year, he changed his image in the eyes of his parents-in-law through his own efforts, and everything was going in the direction he expected.

But everything Zhou Chen did today directly shattered all his efforts. His position in the Hao family would probably become even worse in the future, and even his wife Hao Dongmei might vent her anger on him because of this.

He had worked so hard for so long, but was stabbed in the back by his own brother. How could he not be angry and come to Zhou Chen to "argue" with him?

Zhou Zhigang, who had just scolded Zhou Chen, now had a dark face and was silent. It had been several days since what happened that day. Although he never mentioned it again, how could he just let it go? It had become a knot in his heart.

Li Suhua was even quieter. She had already decided to follow Zhou Chen and let Zhou Chen take care of her in her old age. After what happened on New Year's Eve, she felt that her decision was right.

Although she valued her eldest son Zhou Bingyi very much, in fact, her heart had gradually shifted towards her younger son.

She felt very uncomfortable when she heard that not only did the Hao family look down on them, but even her proudest youngest son was treated with such contempt when he came to visit them.

Even Zhou Rong felt uncomfortable. She was not on good terms with Zhou Chen, but she had also heard about what happened that day. So she did not respect the Hao couple just because of their high positions and power. Instead, she felt strongly dissatisfied with them.

What the eldest brother did was indeed inappropriate. His father was looked down upon, but instead of comforting him or helping out, he tried to curry favor with his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Now Zhou Chen went to seek justice for the Zhou family. Although she didn't know what method Zhou Chen used to make that senior official Hao sick, she was actually secretly happy in her heart, thinking that Zhou Chen had finally done something humane.

Zhou Bingyi felt very embarrassed. Like Zhou Zhigang, he was a very face-conscious person. Zhou Chen's words in front of the whole family made him lose all face.

"All of this is just your guess. The facts are completely different from what you said. Dongmei's parents think highly of me and treat me very well..."

"Yes, he values ​​you very much, so much that he doesn't even want to meet your parents. He values ​​you so much that he sent back the gifts you gave them. He values ​​you so much that he doesn't even let your own brother sit down when he comes to visit?"

"Zhou Bingkun, you, why are you so unreasonable now? You obviously didn't consult anyone and acted on your own. Now that there is a problem, you put the blame on Dongmei's parents and me. Is this how you respect your elders and your brother?"

Although Zhou Bingyi was also a highly educated talent, he was completely not on the same level as Zhou Chen in terms of eloquence and reasoning. He became furious after just a few words.

Zhou Chen sneered: "Respect elders? Respect is relative. They are your elders, not mine. If they don't respect me, why should I respect them?"

"As for you, big brother, tell me honestly, how have I treated you and my sister-in-law? I have said something to my sister-in-law, right? Every time you came over, we provided you with delicious food, and my mother even refused to let my sister-in-law enter the kitchen. Isn't that respectful enough? Do you want us to praise you to the sky?"

Zhou Bingyi was suddenly choked up, because what Zhou Chen said was the truth. Hao Dongmei really didn't do anything when she came to their house. On the contrary, when he went to Hao's house, he often helped serve tea and water and did this and that.

However, he never thought there was anything wrong with it before, perhaps he psychologically agreed with this approach. But now that Zhou Chen brought it up, it made him embarrassed.

"Quibbling, I'm not here to listen to your quibbling. Have you ever thought about it, if you really make Dongmei's father angry and cause any problems, can you bear the responsibility? Then it will be our Zhou family that will be implicated; Zhou Bingkun, you are too easy-going, everything is self-centered, and you want to control everything, but I am not Zhou Rong, you don't need to control my affairs. Dongmei's parents are my parents-in-law. Even if they have any problems, it is not your turn to talk to them. You are not qualified."

Zhou Rong had a constipated look on her face and complained in her heart, "If you are talking about Zhou Chen, just talk about Zhou Chen. Why are you dragging me into this? What have I done to offend anyone?"

Zhou Chen: "Look at the tone of your voice now, it is exactly the same as that of Hao Gaoguan and Jin Yueji. It seems that you have not learned anything else from them, but you have learned all the skills of being arrogant. I think you should change your surname to Hao instead of Zhou in the future."

"Bingkun."

Li Suhua rushed over and slapped Zhou Chen, angrily scolding: "What nonsense are you talking about, you damn child?"

Zhou Zhigang also had a gloomy expression: "Bingkun..."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Suhua interrupted him: "Dad, don't be angry. This matter is indeed Bingkun's fault, but he also had good intentions. He wanted to help us vent our anger, so he went to find Dongmei's parents. He certainly didn't expect something like this to happen."

Zhou Bingyi said angrily: "Mom, at this time, you are still speaking for him, haven't you considered the consequences?"

Li Suhua sighed, "Bingyi, mom doesn't know what the consequences will be. I just know that Bingkun is really thinking about us and doesn't want us to be wronged, so he took the risk to find Dongmei's parents. If Dongmei's father really has something wrong, then I will bear the responsibility. I asked Bingkun to find them."

"mom."

Zhou Bingyi was furious. He didn't expect that his mother would say such words to protect Zhou Chen. This made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Bingyi."

Zhou Zhigang suddenly called Zhou Bingyi and said seriously, "You are right. Bingkun did go too far this time, but your mother is also right. Bingkun did this for us. If Dongmei's father really has something wrong, your mother and I will take responsibility for it."

Zhou Bingyi's face was filled with shock and he could hardly believe his ears. Is this still his father?

In the past, whenever Zhou Chen did something wrong, Zhou Zhigang would beat Zhou Chen to death. Even if he didn’t beat him, he would still curse him out of anger.

But today, at this moment, why is this the attitude?

Zhou Chen also looked at Zhou Zhigang in surprise. He was ready to argue with Zhou Zhigang, but Zhou Zhigang's sudden move caught him off guard.

Zhou Rong was also shocked. She had similar thoughts to Zhou Bingyi. She felt that the father in front of her was very different from before.

Li Suhua was the only one who understood Zhou Zhigang's changes best. As husband and wife were connected in heart, she knew that her husband had recognized the reality. Although his eldest son made him feel proud, he still had to rely on his youngest son and his daughter-in-law to make a living.

As for the eldest son and daughter-in-law, they had no idea at all. The eldest son's heart was no longer on their side.

Zhou Bingyi said disheartenedly: "Dad, Mom, you can't indulge Bingkun like this. If he makes Dongmei's dad sick today, he will cause even bigger trouble in the future."

"Zhou Bingyi, to be honest, you really disappoint me. Like I said, although you are still the eldest son of the Zhou family, in fact, your heart has already flown to the Hao family. You are wholeheartedly thinking about pleasing the two people in the Hao family and don't care about our family at all. If you check your conscience, whenever there is a matter involving our two families, you always stand on the side of the Hao family."

"Why? It's because they are in high positions and you think they will be able to help you in the future. But the truth is, they look down on our Zhou family, which is the greatest contempt for you. You still think you have earned their recognition through your own efforts.

But the fact is, they still don't take you seriously. They just treat you a little well because you are willing to sacrifice for their daughter. And you are so complacent about it, and you put them higher than your biological parents. Is this what you do as the eldest son of the Zhou family?"
