"You can hold your head high and lead a decent life, but you choose to be servile and fawn over others, even to the point of giving up your child. You only think about yourself and forget about your parents. Your behavior is truly unfilial."
Zhou Bingyi's face looked very ugly. As the eldest brother, he was pointed at and scolded by his younger brother in front of the whole family. He felt that he was more embarrassed than Zhou Rong who was beaten that year.
But when he heard the last sentence Zhou Chen said, a look of panic suddenly appeared on his face. He thought Zhou Chen was going to tell the secret between him and Hao Dongmei.
"Zhou Bingkun..."
"Okay, stop yelling. Do you really think I'm the only one who knows about you and your sister-in-law? Then you really underestimate our parents. You can ask them if they know the truth about you and your sister-in-law's infertility."
Zhou Bingyi looked horrified: "Did you tell my parents?"
Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "I'm not that boring."
Zhou Bingyi didn't believe it and could only look at his parents in panic.
Zhou Zhigang had a gloomy face, smoking a cigarette without saying a word, while Li Suhua sighed slightly.
"Bingyi, your father and I already know that you and Dongmei can't have children. It's not your problem, it's Dongmei's problem."
Zhou Zhigang said in a deep voice: "This matter has nothing to do with Bingkun. It was not him who said it. Your mother saw it herself. I don't understand it, but your mother is a woman. She knows some things better than me."
"Bingyi, you and Dongmei lived in Yanjing's house for a while. Although Mom is illiterate, she knows that the medicines you gave were not for you, but for Dongmei, right?"
Zhou Bingyi felt very upset and didn't even bother to look at his parents anymore. He felt embarrassed and ashamed. He had deceived his parents, and his parents knew the truth but didn't expose him.
Compared with the love of his parents, he is really an unfilial son and is full of shame.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. It's me who is sorry for you."
Zhou Zhigang took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "Alright, it's all over. Let's just leave it at that for today. Go back and visit Dongmei and her parents. Comfort them. At the same time, apologize to them on our behalf. Bingkun is indeed guilty of what happened today."
Zhou Bingyi's head was buzzing because of Zhou Zhigang's words "go back". It turned out that in his father's eyes, going to Hao Dongmei's house was already considered going home?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He was silent for a long time. In the end, he said nothing. He just said goodbye to his parents and left.
As soon as Zhou Bingyi left, Zhou Zhigang snorted coldly at Zhou Chen, then turned and walked into the room.
You can see that he is really angry.
Li Suhua pointed at Zhou Chen and sighed, "You, you can't let people have peace during the New Year. Why do you have to make a fuss?"
Zhou Chen said: "Mom, I didn't mean to make such a scene. It's mainly because those two people are so irritating. If they weren't too excessive, I wouldn't have said such harsh words."
"You, I really don't know what to say about you. Can't you control your temper?"
Li Suhua knows her son best. When he is at home, he is filial and sensible. He can make money without losing his temper and is very patient with children.
But once they encounter someone who treats their family badly, their temper becomes unbearable.
Look, he even dared to scold a high-ranking official in the province to his face, and even caused trouble for him.
Dinner was not finished in peace again. This kind of thing happened in the Zhou family more than once or twice, and everyone was used to it.
What happened today was very shocking to both the Zhou and Hao families.
If we were to say who hates Zhou Chen the most right now, apart from the Hao couple, it must be Hao Dongmei.
Although Zhou Chen had helped her a lot, that little bit of help was not even half of what her biological parents had done.
Especially when she saw her father lying weakly on the bed, she became even more dissatisfied with Zhou Chen.
Seeing Zhou Bingyi's lonely return, she didn't care too much and just questioned him angrily.
"Zhou Bingyi, what exactly does your brother mean? Does he want to piss off my parents to death?"
Faced with his angry wife, Zhou Bingyi was unable to tell her what happened to him at his brother's house and could only apologize with a look of regret on his face.
"Dongmei, I've already scolded Bingkun and asked my dad to teach him a lesson."
Hao Dongmei asked angrily, "Why didn't you inform us in advance when your brother Zhou Bingkun came? I heard from my mother that he came to seek justice for what happened on New Year's Eve. My mother didn't say what happened afterwards. I only heard from the nanny that Zhou Bingkun had a big fight with my parents, and then my father became sick from anger."
No one knows what happened in the afternoon except the parties involved.
Zhou Chen's words were vague and Zhou Bingyi didn't know much either. As for Jin Yueji and Hao Gaoguan, they were too embarrassed to say anything. Even if Hao Dongmei asked more, she couldn't get anything out of it, so she could only pin her hopes on Zhou Bingyi.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingyi didn't know what was going on, which made Hao Dongmei so angry that she had a quarrel with him and they even slept in separate rooms that night.

Chapter 607: Zhou Family’s Response, Invitation from an Old Friend
In the room, Zheng Juan couldn't help but complain to Zhou Chen.
"Bingkun, don't be so impulsive in the future. Not only will you offend your elder brother and his wife, but if Hao Gaoguan gets mad at you and causes any problems, our whole family will suffer. I know you want to vent your anger on your parents, but this method is really a bit dangerous."
After such an incident, what she was most worried about was her husband. After all, he was a senior official named Hao. If he wanted to take revenge afterwards, her family would definitely not be able to stop him. She didn't want to ruin her husband's future because of this.
Zhou Chen changed into pajamas, got into bed, and said calmly: "It's not dangerous. Have you forgotten that I am a doctor? Even if he had any problems at that time, I could cure him."
"Who can say for sure about such things?"
"Okay, Juan'er, don't think so much."
"How can I not think about it? If you do this, how will we get along with our elder brother and his wife in the future?"
"I used to be even harsher towards Zhou Rong, but now we are still eating at the same table."
"Can that be the same?"
"Go to sleep, go to sleep."
Looking at Zhou Chen sleeping with his head covered, Zheng Juan felt tired. Her husband was good in every way except that he was stubborn. Once he decided to do something, no one could persuade him.
It was fine for the two of them, but the atmosphere in Zhou Zhigang and Li Suhua's room was much worse. After they coaxed Zhou Rui and Feng Yue to sleep, they sat together and talked.
"Dad, don't blame Bingkun for what happened today. You should understand his thoughts."
Zhou Zhigang wanted to smoke, but when he thought of the child still in the room, he resisted the urge.
"I don't want to blame him. I'm just a little worried about Bingyi. After something like this happened, he must be having a hard time over there."
After all, he is the child he values most. Although he just leaned toward Zhou Chen, it was because Zhou Bingyi was too partial to the Hao family. In fact, he didn't expect the elder son to take care of him, but he was still full of expectations for the elder son. He can achieve something.
Originally, Zhou Bingyi's position in the Hao family was very humble. He was not a live-in son-in-law, but how far could he be from that?
Now that this has happened, Zhou Bingyi's situation must be even more difficult, so he doesn't blame Zhou Chen for venting their anger, he is just dissatisfied with him for making things difficult for his eldest son.
This is what being a parent is like. Even if you feel wronged, you don’t want your children to feel wronged.
Li Suhua was more open-minded: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. This is Bingyi's own choice. The children are grown up and have their own abilities. We can't control them anymore."
As a mother, how could she not know about Zhou Bingyi's situation in the Hao family, but what could she do?
The eldest son wanted to develop, but the couple could neither help him nor change his mind, so they could only allow the eldest son to lean towards the Hao family.
Zhou Zhigang sighed, "Bingkun is right about one thing. Bingyi is getting more and more arrogant. To be honest, I'm a little scared when I see Bingyi now. I don't dare to say anything harsh, for fear that I might accidentally say something wrong and make him feel bad."
"Bingkun is different. I can scold him if I want to. Although he will argue with me, he will say whatever he wants to say. He is different from Bingyi."
In the past, he thought that Zhou Chen was unfilial and immature for arguing with him and disobeying him;
But gradually, he discovered that although Zhou Chen quarreled and made trouble with him, he did not bear grudges and was still filial when he should be. Most importantly, Zhou Chen could arrange everything at home properly, allowing him to work outside without being distracted by family matters at all.
As for the eldest son Zhou Bingyi, you say he is filial, and he is indeed filial, but his filial piety is a bit too polite, and always gives Zhou Zhigang a strange feeling.
How should I put it? Zhou Zhigang felt that when facing Zhou Bingyi, he felt that he was not his biological son, but more like a 'guest'.
To put it simply, the younger son is really fierce when he quarrels, but he is also really nice when he is in a good mood.
As for the elder son, he never quarreled or made a fuss. The relationship between father and son was always respectful and polite, though it felt a little fake and artificial.
Li Suhua smiled and said, "Dad, I rarely hear you praise Bingkun."
Zhou Zhigang also smiled casually: "Praise him? He used to be able to piss me off, but I'm just angry. In the past few years, among the three children, I miss this brat the most. People used to say, Father and son are enemies, I see, this kid was born to take revenge on me."
"Hahaha……"
As he talked, he amused himself.
Zhou Zhigang laughed happily, and Li Suhua asked again: "Dad, what about Dongmei's parents?"
"Never mind, there's nothing we can do about it. You can see their attitude. They don't like us at all. Why should we go and lick their faces? Even if we apologize, they probably won't see us. In that case, why should we make ourselves miserable?"
Although Zhou Zhigang is vain and cares about his reputation, he still has his dignity and would definitely not do something like bootlicking.
He did have utilitarian motives in wanting to interact with the Hao couple, but he was more concerned about his eldest son.
Now that he has seen the reality clearly and knows that he was being too sentimental, he will naturally not sacrifice his old face to curry favor with others.
Li Suhua agreed very much: "Well, let's just live our lives well, dad. When you retire, Ruirui and Congcong will go to school. Then we can help Bingkun and his family take care of the children. Maybe if we live a few more years, we will have a chance to see our great-grandchildren."
When Zhou Zhigang mentioned his grandson, his face immediately lit up with smiles: "It's good to take care of children, it's good to take care of children. I don't want to think about great-grandchildren for the time being. I will be satisfied if I can watch Ruirui and Congcong grow up."
"Well, these two grandchildren are good kids, and they are the ones I am most reluctant to part with."
It is said that grandparents are closer than grandchildren, not to mention that Zhou Rui and Zhou Cong were brought up by Li Suhua since childhood. That kind of relationship is really very deep, even Feng Yue cannot compare to it.
Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng next door were a little "trembling", especially Feng Huacheng. He felt that the three siblings of the Zhou family were a little abnormal, especially his brother-in-law Zhou Chen, whom he did not dare to offend at all.
As for Zhou Rong, her mood was even more complicated. She felt very happy that Zhou Chen went to seek "revenge" from the Hao couple. But when she saw Zhou Chen scolding her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi, her heart was even more complicated. She was shocked, but also a little secretly happy.
See, it’s not that I, Zhou Rong, am useless. Didn’t the eldest brother also get scolded by his younger brother and couldn’t fight back?
A true example of the pot calling the kettle black.
At breakfast the next day, everyone in the Zhou family was talking and laughing while eating. No one seemed to have any idea of what happened last night.
"Dad, when is your next vacation? How about we go to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year? I heard from our mom that you haven't been to Yanjing yet."
Zhou Chen took the initiative to talk to Zhou Zhigang about the next Chinese New Year reunion.
"Going to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year?"
Zhou Zhigang was obviously stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this matter before.
Before Zhou Chen could speak, Zhou Rong expressed her opinion excitedly: "Dad, I think Bingkun's suggestion is very good. Yanjing is different from here. It is very lively during the New Year and other festivals. There are also many places of interest in Yanjing. When the time comes, we can take you and mom to go around and have fun. It will be so much fun for the whole family to go out and play together."
Li Suhua's eyes lit up. She no longer opposed going to Yanjing, but she would be even happier if Zhou Zhigang could also go to Yanjing.
Zhou Zhigang thought for a while before answering, "Let's talk about it later. We don't know when the next holiday will be."
He works in the Third Front, where the situation is rather special. As an eighth-level construction worker, his presence is quite important, and he cannot decide when he can come back.
Zhou Chen said: "Then please think about it carefully."
After breakfast, Zhou Chen played with a few children. When it was almost noon, Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing suddenly came to visit.
"National Day, catch up, why are you here?"
Zhou Chen was very surprised to see Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao coming over at this time.
Sun Ganchao didn't waste any time and went straight to the point and said, "Bingkun, we came here today because we have something to talk to you about. Let's go out for dinner today."
Zhou Chen did not hesitate. These two people were his best friends in this world. Moreover, they were really nice to him and very loyal.
"Okay, I'll tell my family."
Zhou Chen said something to his parents and Zheng Juan, then followed Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing away.
"Where?"
"Restaurant."
"What's wrong? What's going on between you two? It's Chinese New Year, and you're still going to a restaurant?"
Zhou Chen was very surprised. The times now were very different from those decades later. Private restaurants could only be opened secretly, and during the Chinese New Year, everyone basically ate at home.
Sun Ganchao said, "We are not the host today. We are just here to lobby. It is Uncle Gong who is looking for you."
"Uncle Gong is looking for me?"
Zhou Chen was very surprised when he heard that it was the local police officer Uncle Gong who was looking for him, because he hadn't seen him for several years. Why would he invite him to dinner at this time?
"Yes, Bingkun, you don't know that Uncle Gong is in trouble. I guess he is looking for you to ask for your help." Sun Ganchao explained.
Zhou Chen asked in surprise, "What happened to him?"
He naturally had an impression of the police officer Xiao Gong. In the TV series, this person was indeed a very good person in the early stage, but he was also very calculating.
But it is human nature to be scheming and calculating. The bad thing is that after he gained power, he became blinded by greed and engaged in corruption and law-breaking.
But those were all plots in the TV series. The turning point of everything was when Sun Ganchao's family was building a house and had a dispute with Uncle Xiong's family, which triggered a series of accidents.
But with the appearance of Zhou Chen, Sun Ganchao and Yu Hong no longer lived at home, but went to live in Taiping Hutong, where Zheng Juan lived.
Logically speaking, if there is a place to live, there is no need to expand the house, and there will be no conflicts with the Xiong family, and there will not be a series of subsequent accidents.
