Chapter 887: Chapter 886: Time to Enjoy the Good Life?

Zhou Xuennian couldn’t persuade Madam Zhou, but he didn’t give up. He almost exhausted every good word while speaking to Wu Lihong, finally calming him down. Then he immediately had someone hitch a horse to a carriage and hurried back to Wozi Village.

Since meeting Wu Lihong, he had only returned to his home in Wozi Village once. To be honest, seeing the rundown village filled his eyes with disgust and disdain, further strengthening his resolve to persuade that fool Ying Mei to cling tightly to Wu Lihong’s golden thigh.

He, Zhou Xuennian, was destined to live a life above others, not one where he faced the earth every day, rolling around in mud.

Upon returning home, as soon as the carriage stopped, Zhou Xuennian instructed the little servant to unload the gifts prepared on the carriage. He couldn’t persuade that simpleton Ying Mei himself, so he needed his mother to do it.

Zhou Xuennian was directing the little servant to move the items when he suddenly felt his back burning. Turning around, he saw the second brother standing there, holding a hoe and glaring darkly at him.

“Second brother,” Zhou Xuennian tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Xueli walked over with a sullen face, looking him up and down before glancing at the little servant beside him, speaking through gritted teeth, “Did you go to Wufu’s place again?”

Zhou Xuennian’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “Are you questioning me?”

“Answer me, did you?” Zhou Xueli yelled.

Zhou Xuennian also got angry, “You’re being presumptuous! What kind of attitude is this? Do you even see me as your elder brother?”

Zhou Xueli sneered, “If I didn’t see you as my elder brother, I wouldn’t care about your life or death. Once you’re healed, you forget the pain. Just wait for your doom!”

“You!” Zhou Xuennian’s face changed dramatically, not bothered to argue with him, and called to the servant beside him, “Come with me!”

Zhou Xueli saw him heading towards his own house and quickly blocked him, “Where are you going?”

“Get out of my way! I’m going to see Mom. Do I need your permission?” Zhou Xuennian pushed him aside and quickly went inside.

Zhou Xueli chased after him, furious.

Lady Liang, about to give birth, was pacing around in her small courtyard. Seeing the eldest brother-in-law dressed so finely entering, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Mom,” Zhou Xuennian shouted loudly as he walked into Old Lady Zhou’s room.

Old Lady Zhou had just finished her prayers and was momentarily taken aback upon hearing her eldest son’s voice. Then her sparse brows furrowed; she hadn’t seen this eldest son for some days, why was he here now?

She turned around, seeing Zhou Xuennian dressed so splendidly, her brow involuntarily twitched.

“Mom, your son is back,” Zhou Xuennian said with a face full of smiles.

Old Lady Zhou, sitting on the brick bed, coldly watched as he instructed a strange-looking boy to carry in a large package of stuff, her heart pounding.

After the boy left, she asked, “What’s this? Where have you been these days?”

Old Lady Zhou held her breath tightly, staring intently at Zhou Xuennian.

Zhou Xueli also hurried in, standing closely beside her, looking at him defensively full of vigilance.

Seeing this look, Zhou Xuennian felt displeased. He was the eldest son of the Old Zhou family, yet he wasn’t as favored as the youngest. The old woman was biased.

Although thinking this way in his heart, none of it showed on Zhou Xuennian’s face. The smile on his face grew even wider as he went over to sit down and said with a smile, “Mom, you’re going to enjoy your old age soon. You’ll be Fu Gui’s great-grandmother. These gifts and supplements are from your good son-in-law, brought back for you to enjoy!”

Old Lady Zhou’s mouth twitched, her wrinkled mouth pursed tightly, son-in-law?
