My mother is getting married, Xiao Wei is so handsome

Chapter 260 Helpless Compromise

The past grudges are like the wind, they don't care about anything anymore, they just hope that their children have a bright future.

"This child is your son. He is very well-behaved and smart. You can keep him by your side. It doesn't matter if he has the surname Zhou or Zhao."

Uncle Zhou sighed. Zhou Zihang’s character was not good, but his current conditions were indeed very good.

He hopes that Zhou Zihang can take responsibility, take good care of Xiao Jiye, and give Xiao Jiye a good living environment and a good future.

Zhou Yanran obviously did not understand her uncle's choice. She was young and hot-headed, and she only wanted to avenge her sister and make those who did wrong pay the price.

"Uncle, he was indirectly responsible for my sister's death. Are we just going to let him go? Are we going to let this scumbag continue to get away with it?"

"Okay, Yanran."

After all, Zhou's father is older and has more life experience. How could he not know what his elder brother and sister-in-law think?

Do they hate Zhou Zihang? Of course they do. But in the current reality, there is no room for too much personal love, hate, and vengeance.

"Dad!" Zhou Yanran refused to give in and was forcibly pulled into the room by her mother. "This is your uncle's family's business. You are a little girl, don't get involved anymore."

Zhou Zihang stepped forward and wanted to touch little Jiye's head.

Zhou Jiye ducked his head, his eyes like a ferocious little beast: "Don't touch me!"

"The child feels uncomfortable and can't accept you for a while."

Aunt Zhou began to explain, fearing that Zhou Zihang would not accept Xiao Jiye as his son.

It’s okay for her and her husband to suffer a little injustice, but they sincerely hope that Zhou Jiye will be well.

Parents love their children and plan long-term for them.

This is especially true for grandparents who are one generation apart.

"Ah, it's about relationships." Zhou Zihang retracted his hand. He actually liked this boy who looked a bit like himself when he was young. "Jiye is my son. I will be responsible for him. I won't change his last name."

He paused and continued.

"I will pay all the child support I should have paid over the years, but since you and I have feelings for this child, it's better for him to continue living with you."

Zhou Zihang is an extremely sophisticated and selfish person. He gladly accepted Zhou Jiye's seemingly good son, but was unwilling to keep the child with him.

As a single father, raising a child, not to mention the social impact and the loss of points in choosing a spouse, he is unwilling to accept the difficulty and sadness involved.

"But……"

Zhou's mother was emotionally reluctant to separate from little Jiye, but she also wanted Zhou Jiye to receive a better education.

"This child is very smart. I'm afraid he will be delayed if he goes to primary school in the village."

"That's easy." Zhou Zihang thought for a moment, "I have a house near Y University. You can move in with Xiao Jiye. I'll cover your living expenses every month."

"No need." Zhou's father flatly refused. "Although I'm a farmer, I also know that it's not right to be complacent. This child is not only our Zhou family's child, but also your son, Zhou Zihang. I hope you can arrange a school for him. We can handle the rest ourselves."

He knew that if he really did what Zhou Zihang said, then he and his wife would have to rely on Zhou Zihang to survive.

The palms of the hands should be facing upwards and the face should be facing downwards.

Uncle Zhou deeply understood this truth. Zhou Zihang was a hypocrite.

They don't rely on him for food, and they can't control him. If they really rely on him for their livelihood, who knows how the situation will develop.

"You go back first. We'll think about the rest and tell you later."

Uncle Zhou's face looked a little gloomy. He didn't expect that Zhou Zihang was unwilling to keep little Jiye by his side.

After being ordered to leave, Zhou Zihang immediately prepared to say goodbye. He took one last look at Youyou.

It's a pity that I will never have the chance to marry a beautiful and precious rich girl in this life.

"Uncle, why should we let that scum go?! If it weren't for him, my sister wouldn't have..."

Zhou Yanran couldn't help but run out and ask.

Her eyes were red, obviously she had been crying.

Uncle Zhou wanted to touch a cigarette. He didn't have the habit of smoking, but after his daughter passed away, he developed this bad habit due to grief and stress.

Thinking that it was someone else's house, Uncle Zhou put the cigarette back.

This old man, who has lived a simple, honest and decent life all his life, is most afraid of causing trouble to others.

"You think too simply, Yanran."

Uncle Zhou raised his head and in an instant seemed to have aged ten years, full of helplessness and sadness.

"Do you think I, your uncle, am a fool? Before I came here, I had already asked the village chief. Our family's method is completely useless."

"We all say your sister was killed by Zhou Zihang, but how did Zhou Zihang kill your sister? Did he poison her or use a knife?"

"Let's sue Zhou Zihang for the sole crime of abandonment. If he goes to jail, what will become of Xiao Jiye? He might even be unable to join the army in the future!"

"Yanran, we feel worse than anyone else, but there's nothing we can do."

Aunt Zhou also echoed.

Wei Shuqing sighed: "Life is not black and white. No matter how cruel Zhou Zihang is, he is still Zhou Jiye's biological father."

In the future, when the two elders of the Zhou family are gone, Zhou Zihang may be Zhou Jiye's support.

It is better for a child to have a father than to have both parents dead.

She understands the two elders of the Zhou family.

And judging from Zhou Zihang's reaction, he does have some affection for this son.

Wei Shuqing was a down-to-earth person and wanted to do her best to resolve Uncle Zhou's family's difficulties: "When the child goes to school in the city, Zhou Zihang won't leave the child with him to take care of him. What will you do?"

"We rented out the land in the village and stopped cultivating the orchard. We set up a stall in the city to sell fruit and rented a house so that Xiao Jiye could go to school."

Uncle Zhou narrowed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

"Setting up a stall is exposed to the wind and sun. Why don't you guys just open a fruit shop?" Wei Shuqing said with a smile, "I know a small house. It's not expensive. You can even live in the shop."

She was not worried about the source of the fruit. The entire Zhoujia Village was a fruit-growing village, and Uncle Zhou could get enough low-priced and high-quality fruit.

Uncle Zhou was overjoyed: "That's great."

They are farmers who only care about practicality and don’t care what the place they live in is like, as long as it can shelter them from the wind and rain.

Now you can do two things with one dollar, you can open a shop and live there, why not do it?

Aunt Zhou was also very happy: "That's great, thank you in-laws, thank you in-laws."

She hugged little Jiye and kissed him again and again: "That's great, Jiye, our Jiye can go to school in the city!"

This is the best of both worlds. The child can go to school in the city and does not have to be separated from her.
