Wouldn't That Be Letting All Your Pains Go to Waste?

Zhou Fusheng rolled his eyes and said:

"If you hadn't brought this up, I would have forgotten. Back then, you made me crawl between your legs before you'd give me that piece of bread."

You made me work at Liu Bapi's house, and I ended up rolling off the roof! I remember every single one of these things you did!

The man scratched his head and said, "You fell down there on your own, so why blame me? You can't blame everything on me!"

Zhou Fusheng sneered:

"Who else is to blame but you? When you were about to fall, I pulled you back, but you pushed me down instead."

Later, when it came time for your family to pay for the medical expenses, you completely shirked responsibility.

You heartless person, you still dare to come to my mountain stronghold and act so arrogantly?

Spring and Autumn Annals dreaming.

Zhou Fusheng didn't have a good impression of these people. He had seen through them; they were just a bunch of snobs.

Old Man Zhou frowned and said:

Fusheng! What happened to you?

"You used to be so polite to everyone in the village, why are you so sarcastic and mean now?"

Zhou Fusheng looked at him and said:

"How could I possibly be so sarcastic or mean?"

If this happened to you, how would you treat them?

Old Man Zhou was speechless, and Old Madam Zhou sighed and said:

"Fourth brother, what happened back then is in the past, and we should keep looking forward."

Haven't the villagers' opinions of you gradually changed? Actually, everyone in the village wants the best for you.

Zhou Fusheng nodded and said:

"They all genuinely want me to be well. How can they leech off me if I'm not doing well?"

"If I'm not good enough, how can they take advantage of me?"

The village's Tie Niu scoffed coldly:

"Oh dear! It sounds like everyone in the village is trying to take advantage of you. Everyone's here today in Huanhuan, hoping for your success."

Now it's like we're here to take advantage of you. No, after we came, have we taken even a single penny from you?

They bring everything themselves; I've never heard of someone having to bring their own food or vegetables when visiting someone's home.

Zhou Fusheng's face turned ugly, and he didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Zhou Wanwan replied:

"Yes, yes, you guys are definitely not those kinds of people, so we guessed it a long time ago."

The people of Zhou Family Village are all unwilling to take advantage of others.

If you want to stay here tonight, that's fine too. There are huts over there where you can rest.

You brought your own blankets, right? That's even better, there are beds in these huts.

You can sleep if you bring your own blankets.

There were indeed a few thatched huts nearby, where the people who looked after the vegetable garden slept.

The villagers of Zhou Family Village were furious. The village chief sighed and said, "What do we do now? Should we go back? We're not well received here."

"Isn't that right? They won't let us stay in the big houses next door, but they insist on making us squeeze into these few thatched huts. Isn't that just looking down on us?"

"Your fourth son is really capable of doing such a thing to the villagers."

Old Madam Zhou looked at Liu Su'e and Zhou Fusheng and said:

"Fourth brother, fourth brother's wife, you're not really going to let us live here, are you?"

"There's nothing in this hut, how are we supposed to live here?"

Liu Su'e shrugged and said, "Wanwan is the one in charge in our family. Whatever Wanwan decides, that's how it goes!"

Old Man Zhou, with his hands behind his back, looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "How could you bring yourself to let us live in such a dilapidated hut? You're such an inconsiderate child."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Old Man Zhou and Old Madam Zhou with a meaningful expression and said:

"Grandpa and Grandma, I'm doing this for your own good."

When you kicked us out, the ancestral house you made us live in didn't even have walls or a roof.

If I were to make you stay too well, wouldn't that be a huge disservice to all the effort you've put in?"

Old Madam Zhou was so angry she was trembling:

"Very well, very well, you've really gone to great lengths! Fourth brother! Is this how you treat your parents?"

Even though you're not my biological child, I truly treat you like one.

Zhou Fusheng looked at them and said:

"Treat me like your own child? Then would your own child need to be treated like a slave in your own home?"

Do you think your own children need to get up before dawn to do chores?

Does your own child need to be hit by you?

Do you expect your own child to be treated like a beast of burden?

Zhou Fusheng had to speak out; these people had gone too far, still trying to brainwash him with their rhetoric.

Old Madam Zhou pointed at Zhou Fusheng, panting heavily, and said:

"Fine, fine, fine, you unfilial son, that's what you think of me."

Am I making you and your children work like slaves? I'm doing this to foster their independence.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Fusheng and said:

"Dad, did you hear that? They want you to be independent, so Grandpa and Grandma are determined to make sure you achieve that independence to the very end."

Especially with so many older cousins, we must not let them be too willful and must help them develop independent personalities.

Zhou Mei stamped her foot angrily and said, "Mother, why are we putting up with her like this? Why don't we go home?"

Zhou Min from my uncle's family also nodded and said:

Who wants to put up with this humiliation here? So what if we're staying in slightly nicer accommodations?

Don't we have our own house? Besides, when we go back, we'll have maids to serve us.

Here, you can't even get a hot meal.

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

Why do you like to talk nonsense? Didn't I give you a hot meal tonight?

We always welcome our guests.

Huihui quickly smoothed things over, saying:

"Alright, alright, it doesn't matter where we stay."

We'll be staying in a thatched hut; it's nice to experience this kind of atmosphere since it's a rare treat!

Those people trusted Huihui quite a bit, and soon stopped making a fuss and went straight into the thatched hut.

Once inside, Old Madam Zhou angrily exclaimed, "What are they trying to do? They just want to see us make a fool of ourselves!"

Huihui sighed and said:

"They just don't like us now, and there's nothing we can do about it."

However, let's stay in the mountain stronghold first and see what's inside.

I always felt this mountain stronghold was different from ordinary ones; it should have a front yard and a back yard, right?

This should be our front yard, which is the place specifically for receiving guests. What do you think is hidden in the back yard?

Old Madam Zhou looked at her and said, "You mean, there's something shameful hidden in this backyard?"

Huihui nodded and said:

"That's just my gut feeling, haven't you noticed?"

"This Black Wind Stronghold is such a large area, yet we can only move around here. Something's definitely not right."

Zhou Fuyu looked at Huihui and said, "Wife, you're so quick-witted. So, what should we do next?"

Huihui smiled faintly and said:

"Since we're here as guests, we should naturally go and take a look at the back."

I also want to know what Black Wind Stronghold is up to.

I'd like to know even more about how Black Wind Stronghold makes money.
