Chapter 2452

Zhao Guifen blinked those small eyes of hers. Although Zhou Anlei had said so much, the doubts in her heart were not completely eliminated. She was still half-believing and half-doubting: "You little bastard, are you really not lying to me?"

Zhou Anlei's eyes were full of sincerity and earnestness, and he said in a firm tone: "Mom, you are my biological mother, and the relationship between us can never be broken. In the future, I still have to provide for you in your old age and bury you. Even if I could lie to you for a while, could I lie to you for a lifetime?"

Zhao Guifen thought about it a little with her limited intelligence and felt that what her dear son said did make some sense, so she snorted: "That's true."

After saying that, she still warned Zhou Anlei uneasily: "You little bastard, don't think I'm easy to fool. If I find out you dare to lie to me, I'd rather support you for a lifetime than break your other good leg!"

Zhou Anlei didn't take Zhao Guifen's threat to heart at all. No matter what his mother's character was or how others viewed her, she was truly good to him as a son. Therefore, one day when his parents were old and couldn't walk, he wouldn't ignore them. In other words, even if he didn't care, with Fatty Sister's kindness, she wouldn't agree to it.

"Mom, I've grown up so big, when have I ever lied to you? Besides, I wouldn't dare to lie to you at all!"

"That's true!" Zhao Guifen felt a bit smug after hearing her son's words: "I can believe you for now. Now, your father and I are hungry, hurry back to the restaurant to eat."

"Mom!" Zhou Anlei grabbed Zhao Guifen, who was about to turn and leave: "My current situation is very difficult. If you and Dad insist on eating buns, I certainly won't stop you, but you have to pay for it yourselves."

"What?" Zhou Xiao was so angry he almost jumped up: "I'm eating a few buns, and you're asking me to pay for it myself?"

Zhou Anlei hurriedly explained: "My salary is only one hundred and fifty yuan a month, and this little money is only enough for me to buy a few packs of cigarettes and a few pairs of socks. If I pay the bill for you, I'm afraid I won't even have any pocket money for the next two months!"

"We are your parents, isn't everything we have now yours in the end?"

Zhou Xiao, this "head of the household," was obviously angered by his dear son, and his tone was very unkind. If they were at home, he would have picked up a broom and started hitting him.

"Aren't they just a few buns? They aren't filled with gold, how much can they cost you?"

"If you were just simply eating a few buns, it really wouldn't cost much. But the problem is, you not only ordered several dishes, but these dishes are all meat dishes, which isn't cheap.

What's even worse is that Dad, you actually want to drink Yugong wine. Not to mention how high the price of the special supply type is, even the ordinary type costs more than a hundred for two bottles. Where would I get that much money to pay the bill?"

Zhou Anlei knew Zhou Xiao too well; after all, he was the father who had raised him for more than twenty years. If Zhou Xiao said he wanted to drink Yugong wine, he had to drink it, especially in front of his son; that was his word. If he didn't let him drink it, he would definitely cause trouble.

"Dad, look, the most important thing for me right now is to restore my image in Fatty Sister's heart as much as possible, so that she can forgive me and finally agree to marry me."

"No way!" As soon as Zhou Xiao heard that his son still wanted to marry that twice-married woman, his face sank instantly, and he said decisively: "Just give up on that idea. Even if you have a crippled leg, I will absolutely not agree to you marrying a twice-married woman, not to mention she has a drag-along bottle!"

Zhou Anlei appeared very calm and said unhurriedly: "Dad, I just want to ask you, how much money does our family actually have?"

Hearing Zhou Anlei ask how much money the family had, Zhou Xiao's face instantly became vigilant, and he stared at Zhou Anlei and asked: "Why are you asking this?"

"Oh my!" Zhao Guifen hurriedly took over the conversation: "Your brother got into trouble, you went south and took away several thousand, the family really has no money left."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Xiao nodded repeatedly from the side, echoing: "The family really has no money left."

Zhou Anlei laughed: "Our family has nothing, just three dilapidated houses that leak when it rains. With these conditions, not to mention a good girl, even a widow with slightly better conditions wouldn't be blind enough to marry a cripple like me, right?"

Zhou Xiao: "..."

Zhao Guifen: "..."

"Dad, Mom!" Zhou Anlei sighed and said: "With our family's conditions, let's not always think about looking up and reaching for things we can't reach; it's useless to think about it. We have to be realistic. Fatty Sister being able to take a fancy to me is something I begged for by kowtowing and burning incense every day in my last life; it's like smoke rising from our Zhou family's ancestral grave."

Zhou Anlei finally took a puff of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, stepped on it hard, and then pointed his finger at the bun shop: "That shop is Fatty Sister's, so don't say anything about her having a drag-along bottle in the future. Even if I really marry her in the future, I'll have to rely on her to support me."

Then, Zhou Anlei's tone was full of temptation: "Dad, Mom, think about it, only if I marry Fatty Sister can I get half the shares of the restaurant. You just saw how good the bun shop's business is.

When I get Fatty Sister's forgiveness and marry her, those half of the shares will firmly fall into our family's hands. By then, you won't have to work in the fields from dawn to dusk like you do now. Moreover, you won't have to worry about Big Brother's bride price at all; I can easily handle all of this."

"However, if you still feel that Fatty Sister is a divorced woman with a drag-along bottle and will lose face for our family, so you firmly disagree with me being with her, then I can't help it.

I'll resign tonight and go back to Tanghezi with you. If you can find me a pure virgin as a wife, that would naturally be the best, and I would definitely be very happy.

But if you can't find a suitable person, then I'll just be a bachelor for life. Anyway, my body can't do any heavy work. If you are willing to support me and let me live that kind of life of just eating and waiting to die, I'm still very willing."

Zhao Guifen's face changed, she pulled Zhou Xiao to the side and whispered: "I think what Erlei said makes a lot of sense. His leg is already crippled, it's not easy to find a good girl.

If Erlei can marry that vixen, our family will have half of this restaurant. When the eldest gets out, we'll arrange for him to be a manager in the restaurant with a salary of two thousand a month, and he can become a ten-thousand-yuan household in a year. By then, will we have to worry about finding a wife for the eldest?"

Zhou Xiao's eyes rolled around; he was already moved, but he still couldn't let go of his face: "If we let Erlei marry a widow, how can we hold our heads up in Tanghezi?"

"Oh my!" Zhao Guifen pinched Zhou Xiao's arm: "Why are you so stubborn? Erlei lives in the city; we just won't let him and that widow go back to Tanghezi. When we are old, Erlei pays the money, and the eldest and his wife serve us, isn't that pretty good?"

"If you put it that way, it's worth considering." Zhou Xiao had the appearance of someone calculating.

Zhao Guifen looked up at the high-rise building in front of her and said with great longing: "When Erlei has money, we'll buy an elevator apartment here too. By then, we'll have a restaurant and an elevator apartment, enough to piss that little bastard Zhou Andong to death."

"Right!" Zhou Xiao also looked at the high residential building: "We'll buy an elevator apartment too, enough to piss that little bastard Zhou Andong to death."

"Dad, Mom!" Zhou Anlei shouted: "Are you done talking? I have to go back to work quickly."

"Alright, alright!" Zhao Guifen walked over: "I'll go home with your father to eat."

Zhou Anlei's mouth curled up, but he quickly suppressed it: "As long as you don't drink wine or eat stir-fried dishes, I can still treat you to a meal of buns."

"No need!" Zhou Xiao waved his hand and then asked: "Erlei, do you know what your uncle is doing in the capital?"

"He's working." Zhou Anlei said without any hesitation: "I heard that Zhou Andong opened a shopping mall in the capital, and my uncle and aunt are both working in the mall. It seems they get a salary of three or four hundred a month, but it's not a small amount for the two of them combined."

Zhao Guifen looked at Zhou Anlei suspiciously: "Are they really just working, and not bosses like your aunt and old aunt?"

"Impossible!" Zhou Anlei shook his head: "My uncle and aunt are just working in the mall."

"How do you know?" Zhou Xiao grasped the key to the problem: "Have you seen your uncle and aunt?"

"No, I haven't even been to the capital, how could I have seen them?" Zhou Anlei said without blushing or skipping a beat: "I heard it from Li Ling. She works at Yuxi Real Estate. I ran into her in Yangcheng and we even had a meal together. When we chatted about things at home, she told me."

Zhao Guifen and Zhou Xiao were enlightened and didn't doubt it. Because they didn't think their son would lie to them, and they also knew that Li Ling worked at Yuxi Real Estate and seemed to be an official now.

Zhao Guifen asked: "That old bastard Li Guangquan is always showing off in the village that his daughter became an official at Yuxi Real Estate. Is this true?"

"Yes!" Zhou Anlei nodded and said: "Li Ling is the general manager's assistant and belongs to the senior leadership of Yuxi Real Estate."

Zhao Guifen didn't know what kind of official an assistant was, but she understood what senior leadership was, and she gritted her teeth and cursed: "That little bastard Zhou Andong, he'd rather benefit others than let his own family help him manage the company. His business won't last long, and it will go bust sooner or later."

Zhou Xiao's heart moved: "Erlei, have you heard from Li Ling where Zhou Andong lives in the capital?"

Zhao Guifen's eyes lit up. How could she have forgotten this? So she followed up and asked: "Do you know?"

Zhou Anlei's eyelids twitched. He knew his parents too well. They asked where Zhou Andong lived, so they must want to go to the capital to find Zhou Andong and cause trouble.

"Li Ling didn't say." Zhou Anlei denied it decisively: "Maybe she doesn't know either."

Zhao Guifen and Zhou Xiao were very disappointed. The two looked at each other, and then Zhao Guifen said: "Alright, go back to work. Perform well and marry that vixen... woman as soon as possible."

"Sigh!" Zhou Anlei sighed: "Before, you guys went too far. It's not that easy to get Fatty Sister's forgiveness. However, I promise you, I will definitely do my best to marry Fatty Sister as soon as possible."

Zhao Guifen and Zhou Xiao left, still whispering something. Zhou Anlei didn't hear clearly and could only sigh helplessly again. With parents like these, he didn't know what kind of evil he had committed in his last life.
