Chapter 1575 - 1040: Differences (2)
I know Mom and Eldest Uncle’s Wife have urged you countless times, but I still want to emphasize it again, because my situation and brother’s are quite similar.
Brother should understand, I say these words from my heart; this is just my nature. If I am not truly moved by it, if I don’t agree with everyone’s approach, I would never say such things.
No matter if brother listens or doesn’t, I just hope he can calm down and carefully ponder over my words. If ultimately brother insists on his own way, I absolutely won’t nag anymore."
After Zhou Nanping said these words, the room fell into a long silence. It wasn’t because her words were particularly moving, but because this was the first time she had said so much at home from childhood to adulthood.
Before, she was always full of complaints, every time she came back, she would pick faults and eventually slam the door and leave. Precisely because of this, Zhou Zhongkang did not mock her but surprisingly fell into deep thought.
Why can’t he accept what others say, but Zhou Nanping’s words make him ponder?
The reason is simple. Just as Zhou Nanping said, both of them are outliers in the Zhou family; their personalities and situations are quite similar. The only difference is that Zhou Nanping met a scumbag while Zhou Zhongkang met a good woman.
Zhou Zhongkang knows all about Zhou Nanping’s encounters and understands Zhou Nanping isn’t using this to please anyone, nor is she saying insincere things to persuade him.
However, asking him to bow down to Mei Xiaofeng was something he couldn’t do.
All along, he has been the one in charge. If he lowers his head, how can he hold his head high at home in the future? Although he hasn’t developed as well as First Brother and Third Brother, he still has his pride!
He is angry with the Zhou family because since he and Mei Xiaofeng separated for so long, except for his mother, others have taken a wait-and-see attitude; if Old Madam Zhou visited the Mei family, wouldn’t everything be resolved?
If this situation were with Third Brother, would everyone still have this attitude?
A knot isn’t formed in a day, and it can’t be untied in a day either, so even though Zhou Zhongkang’s attitude softened a bit, he ultimately still stormed off.
Liang Xiaohong sat on the floor, crying until her face was smudged; she really felt on the verge of collapse. Why did her children make her so anxious? Her son was like this, her daughter was like that; compared to Big Brother’s family, she felt she was a failure!
Especially with Zhu Jianwen found today, her sense of loss became even stronger. She was always inferior to Eldest Sister-in-law, and now there’s nothing left to compare.
As for Little Brother’s family, although Zhou Aiping is a worry, Zhou Huakang is smart and sensible, and now Wang Lei has added a big chubby son to Little Brother’s family. With proper education, he certainly won’t be a problem in the future.
On one hand, she was sad about the gap between her and her sisters-in-law, and on the other hand, she was worried about her son. If he keeps being so stubborn, his daughter-in-law will eventually lose heart.
These days she visits her daughter-in-law once a week; the other party is still warm to her but the disappointment and politeness in her eyes makes her increasingly alarmed.
If such a good daughter-in-law is lost by her son, can her son still be happy in this life?
"Mom, can you resolve problems like this?" Zhou Nanping forcefully tugged Liang Xiaohong up, while Yu Tao also reached out and pulled, finally dragging Liang Xiaohong onto the sofa.
Old Master Zhou and Old Madam Zhou remained silent; to be honest, they were quite disappointed with the second family. The children were worrisome enough, and the daughter-in-law who originally seemed fine now wasn’t presentable either.
The children had already gone astray; if they continued to be appeased, what good could come from it?
Therefore, they didn’t stop Zhou Zhongkang from leaving, but the daughter-in-law’s crying clearly was complaining about them!
The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh; Zhou Zhongkang’s development to this stage couldn’t feel good to them, but for the children’s future, they could only be ruthless.
If the children could become better, it would be a blessing for the whole family; if they continued like this, they could only sigh they had done their best...
"Go back to your room!" Zhou Gangping frowned and glared at his wife, feeling a blaze of anger inside him. His son and daughter were already enough trouble, and now his wife had to add to it, intending to push him to his limit?!
Liang Xiaohong also knew her actions were wrong, yet she couldn’t control herself. She felt that having finally deepened the relationship with her son, how had it regressed to this state again? Obediently, she got up and went to her room, with Zhou Gangping apologizing to Old Master and Old Madam Zhou before following her in.
Chuxia, who had been silently sitting beside Zhao Yulan, secretly sighed; Second Uncle and Second Aunt’s actions were truly disappointing. If the son hadn’t figured things out, he could be slowly guided, but the daughter was already at a critical juncture; did they even care?
With Zhou Nanping’s current situation, it really was one step to Heaven and one step to Hell.
As for what the other side had done to her before, she was really too lazy to bother, but after all, they were a family, and as the other side sincerely wanted to change, she still hoped for a good outcome.
So, let her be the bigger person; not for herself, but for Zhou Mikang who was carrying out tasks far away, she would also make an effort.
"Second Sister, Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, it’s been a while since we got together, let’s go to my room and chat." Chuxia stood up and invited them. (To be continued.
