Chapter 425 The Zhou Family on the Edge
A middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek walked into the mansion. Zhou Ming also met this person yesterday. He was the eldest son of his grandfather and Zhou Huangmin, the husband of the fat aunt just now. .
He walked over and looked at Zhou Ming and Zhou Guoping's family with disdain: "You are so lingering. The lesson I learned yesterday was not enough. I didn't care about you because you are relatives. Why are you going to come here again today and make trouble? The country bumpkin is the country bumpkin!"
Zhou Ming frowned and was about to speak, when his grandfather Zhou Feiyi stood on his cane and said, "Huang Min, why are you talking? They are here to celebrate my birthday. I don't allow you to say that to them...Ahem!"
Zhou Feiyi was very excited when he spoke, and he still coughed in the end. Zhou Ming and Su Han were in a hurry and calmed him down.
Seeing this, Zhou Huangmin also said, "Okay, my master, I have no intention of driving them away. Since they are coming, just stay here to attend the birthday party..."
After hearing this, Zhou Feiyi immediately interrupted: "This is not possible! They still need to leave first, so you can let them go!"
At the end of Zhou Feiyi's words, they even had some pleading meaning. Zhou Ming felt a little reluctant to say to him: "Grandpa, don't worry, we are not as weak as you think. I know you are worried that we will be bullied, but I want to tell you that we are not so easy to be bullied."
"Dad, you heard it. You are kind to others, but they don't appreciate your affection at all!" Zhou Huangmin laughed, and then said to Zhou Ming, "So since you don't want to leave, come in and attend the birthday party."
Zhou Huangmin said and made a gesture to invite him, but he had no intention of asking for help, so he tricked him and left on his own.
Seeing that he left so arrogantly, his mother Wang Fengqin was a little unsure. She pulled Zhou Ming and asked, "Are we really going in? My uncle just now reminded us that, they won't really prepare anything to make things difficult for us, right?"
Su Han held Wang Fengqin and said, "Auntie, don't worry. With Zhou Ming here, he will not let you suffer losses and be wronged."
"Why are you, the country bumpkins, afraid again and want to change your mind temporarily? It doesn't matter, I can get used to people like you anyway. You are so cowardly!" Zhou Huangmin turned around and mocked him before.
"Don't worry, uncle, you can't scare me even if you are like this." Zhou Ming said.
Zhou Huangmin snorted coldly at this: He is so ignorant and fearless!
Then Zhou Ming brought his parents to the front door of the main hall, but Zhou Huangmin stopped him: "I'm sorry, you can't enter the main hall. This is used to entertain the Zhou family and the guests invited. You are not qualified to sit here."
Zhou Ming was not surprised by his behavior, nor was he angry and asked him: "Then where should we sit?"
Zhou Huangmin casually pointed to a small house to the west: "You can eat in that small room, it's close to the kitchen, just eat quickly and get out of here, don't be embarrassed!"
"It's a utility room, how can it be a place to eat? You are so insulting!" Wang Fengqin couldn't help but say.
"If you think this is not good, you can get out of here. I didn't force you to stay for dinner. It would be nice to give you a utility room. What else do you guys want?" Zhou Huangmin said, his tone as contempt as possible.
My mother Wang Fengqin wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming grabbed him. Zhou Ming said to Zhou Huangmin: "We can go to the small room, but I'm afraid you will regret it."
Zhou Huangmin laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funnyest joke in the world.
"Are you funny? I will regret something? I'm afraid you're so angry that your brain is broken? I will regret it. Why should I regret it? I can't be too happy now!" Zhou Huangmin said, "I said you'll go if you want to go. I don't have time to waste it with you... words? Are you a hell!"
Zhou Ming was also too lazy to talk to him. When he was giggling, Zhou Ming took his parents and Su Han to the small room there.
Looking at Zhou Ming and the others' backs, Zhou Huangmin was so angry that he said: "My mom! A group of rural bullies don't know what they are doing here!"
But then he smiled hideously: "I hope you still like the dining room!"
Zhou Ming took his parents and Su Han into the small room. Everyone frowned at that time because the small room was a utility room, with a lot of debris on the shelves on the floor and the walls. The thick dust in the place showed how long it had been since no one had cleaned it. There was a shabby table in the middle, but there was not even a chair next to it.
My mother Wang Fengqin was furious when she saw this: "This is too bullying, right? Are we going to be insulted like this? Old Zhou, look at what you call relatives, look at what he regards us as? Zhou Ming, don't be so angry here, let's go!"
Zhou Ming pulled his mother and advised her, "Mom, don't be in a hurry. Since we are here, don't leave in such a hurry."
"But look at this place, that's where people stay..."
Zhou Ming said seriously: "Mom, do you believe me? If you believe me, we will continue to stay here. Isn't it just a little dirty or messy? We just need to place it and clean it up. If there is no chair, we will borrow a few pieces from outside. As long as you believe me, now no matter how much ridicule and insult they bring to us, I will give them twice as much!"
Su Han also helped Zhou Ming and said, "Yes, auntie, it's okay. I'm diligent. You can give me up to ten minutes."
Wang Fengqin then sighed: "You are my son. If I don't believe me, who else do you believe? Xiaohan doesn't want you to clean it alone. Since Zhou Ming said he would stay, let's clean it together. There are so many people and great power!"
Zhou Ming also said to Zhou Guoping at this time: "Dad, then let's go together."
Zhou Guoping looked tangled and painful, and he nodded reluctantly.
Then Zhou Ming took his parents and Su Han to clean the small room. This scene fell in the eyes of Zhou Huangmin and Qian Lizhu, but made them very unhappy.
"I didn't expect these country bumpkins to be able to tolerate it. They would rather clean the room than leave. It seems that they are really determined to rob our demolition payment. We can't let them succeed. We have to drive them away quickly!" Qian Lizhu said viciously, her fat face full of impatientness. "Now the birthday party is about to begin, why are the distinguished guests we invited have not arrived yet?"
Zhou Huangmin said to him: "Don't worry, time is coming soon, let Huang Wei and the others come in, and be prepared at the door."
...
In the small room, Zhou Ming and his parents Su Han quickly prepared it. Although it was unrealistic to ask them to organize the entire small room in a short period of time, it was still very easy to clean up a place to eat, wipe the table clean, and mop the nearby floor.
Soon they all got it done before they sat down and saw someone coming in.
The one who came in was a young man with two prominent cheekbones and glasses. When he saw Zhou Ming and his parents, he was stunned at the door.
"Is this a small room utility room?" he asked blankly, putting his feet back on, and he leaned in to see if he had gone wrong.
Zhou Ming nodded and told him: "This is the small room, but we sorted it out a little."
The man also saw other places that were not cleaned and confirmed that this was a small room, so he walked in carefully.
"That... are you also the Zhou family who were driven here?" he sat down and asked.
"I heard what you mean, are you the Zhou family who was driven here?" Zhou Ming asked him back.
He nodded and said, "Yes, who made my father and Uncle Zhou Huangmin have a bad relationship! Moreover, my job is not very good now, and the factory has poor performance. I have been unable to pay wages for several months. But it is too much to divide the Zhou family into different levels and arrange them in such a place!"
"Since we are both people who have fallen into the world, please stay here with peace of mind. I believe that I will pay it back if I come out." Zhou Ming said to him.
"Brother, you're so good at speaking!" He said happily, "By the way, my name is Zhou Xiang, I work in the 940 Factory in Donglin. I don't know which unit you are from? I don't seem to have seen you before."
"Your name is Zhou Xiang? Which one is the one of the kings of Chu, Xiang Yu?" Zhou Ming asked hurriedly.
Zhou Xiang obviously didn't expect Zhou Ming to ask so actively. He was stunned for a moment before nodding and said, "Why do you know me?"
Zhou Xiang was confused, but Zhou Ming was a little funny because Zhou Ming really knew him, or not only knew him himself, but many people across the country should know him because he was the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission twenty years later!
In Zhou Ming's previous life, because he had a business and national policies, Zhou Ming paid special attention to the news for half a year. All the mentions were Zhou Xiang, and it would be difficult for Zhou Ming to remember it even if he couldn't remember it.
Zhou Ming didn't remember it when he first entered the door, but now he heard his name and looked at his facial features. Zhou Ming could be sure that it was him.
However, Zhou Ming is no longer the one who has just been reborn at that time. Not showing his emotions is the minimum ability. Although he was a little surprised to see the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission in the future, it was just that. After all, he even passed the king and the rich nobles from abroad.
But Zhou Ming was more and more worried about laughing in his heart: He is such a good Zhou family, with a good look at people. Such a person would be rushed to such a small room for dinner. It really makes people wonder what to say. However, he didn't expect that the tycoon of the Development and Reform Commission would be so angry when he was young. It was a news that he didn't expect.
Zhou Ming waved his hand and told him: "We came from Linyang."
"Oh! So you are from Grandpa Pingjiang?" Zhou Xiang said in surprise, "My grandfather often mentions Grandpa Pingjiang and says he is too stupid. He insisted on taking all the responsibility of the matter on himself and leaving Donglin. He took on the responsibility of our entire Zhou family!"
He then suddenly realized and said, "No wonder you are here too. Uncle Huangmin and others must be despising you for being poor and afraid that you are here to split the relocation funds, so they threw you here?"
