Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Chapter 131: Interrogation (Part 2)

Zhang Guoqing looked at Old Man Zhou, feeling sad for him. The old man is confused and hasn’t seen the reality clearly. Does he think that being the first to complain will obscure the facts? He felt even more pity for his father-in-law; this is a dead knot. If a son isn’t liked, how can he have compassion for the orphaned?

In the end, the Zhou Family relies on Zhou Xiaozheng and the backing from the Yue Family and Lin Family to have any confidence.

For them, the father and daughter are mere tools to make profits and boast. He’s seen through the favoritism of his mother-in-law and father-in-law in his previous life, and understands that parents are not equally fond of all their children, let alone not noticing Old Sir Zhou’s abnormality. The Zhou Family’s affairs are indeed deep.

"Do you think I’ve come back to settle scores? Not to share good news with you? Not to let you know I’m still doing well? Settle scores, settle what accounts? People are already inside, what accounts am I settling with you? You say you’re my father, but do I dare?" Zhou Xiaozheng sneered and glanced at him sideways.

Old Sir Zhou was so angry that he slammed the table, shouting, "You’re an unfilial son, giving your father attitude over some little girl. Look at yourself. That’s your brother, your own elder brother, your own niece."

Zhou Xiaozheng returned to his mother, patting Mrs. Zhou’s hand, speaking lazily, "That little girl is my own daughter."

"Then how can you help me bring back your elder brother?"

"I don’t know, it’s not up to me. I heard the charges are serious. Who knows what the other side will say when I go there; I’m just a soldier, I can’t interfere with political decisions." Zhou Xiaozheng spoke slowly.

"But you also need to go take a look. Bring your wife to the village. See what they say; in any case, your elder brother and his family should come home for New Year, otherwise the home won’t feel like home." Old Sir Zhou looked at him with anticipation.

Zhou Xiaozheng was so angry he almost laughed. They wanted his wife to go to the village, but didn’t dare to go to Zhang Family to find his father-in-law before? It was picking the softest fruit to squeeze.

"My wife definitely won’t go; I have to wait until Jiao Jiao doesn’t feel wronged. The child won’t say it out loud, but we as a couple feel the pain. Let’s wait until Jiao Jiao voluntarily says she doesn’t blame them. Then I’ll go see what the village says. Actually, Sir, even if I go, it won’t help; I don’t believe you haven’t already asked."

Old Sir Zhou looked at him and then at Zhang Guoqing, now not daring to mention Jiao Jiao anymore. He realized that his son is neither soft nor hard to deal with; he wants him to give an attitude on his own. As if going there wouldn’t help. The case isn’t closed yet; waiting on a word from that girl Jiao Jiao could change everything.

"What conditions do you want for letting them out, just tell me." Old Sir Zhou said frostily.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and spoke to the silent Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, don’t blame me for being unkind, but things are out of control. I’ve learned a lot about the whole situation since I returned, and heard many things in the county.
