C3 (1/2)
The next day was Sunday, and Zhou Hao and his uncle went over to Zhou Lichang's home.
Zhou Lichang built a three-storey, stand-alone house in the Zhou Family Village. It was extremely eye-catching in the Zhou Family Village, where there were still many tile-roofed houses.
Zhou Lichang, on the other hand, lived in the house with his wife Xu Yongwei and his children. There was also a black Honda in Guangzhou under the house. People in the village couldn't help but look at it more when they passed by.
Before coming here, Yan Tong had spent over fifty yuan to buy a basket of fruits.
”It's you guys. Why do you remember to come visit us?” When Zhou Hao's aunt, Xu Yongwei, opened the door and saw them, the disdain in her eyes was extremely obvious.
He did not try to cover it up at all, which made the already somewhat stiff Yan Tong even more awkward.
Since he was well-preserved and did not need to eat and dress up, Xu Yongwei, who was slightly older than Yan Tong, looked to be more than ten years younger than him.
Seeing Xu Yongwei's snobbish face again many years later, Zhou Hao laughed in his heart, ”She really hasn't changed at all!”
”Hello, sister-in-law.” Yan Tong smiled at Xu Yongwei and said, ”Zhihao and Xin Xin are alright, right?”
She was talking about Xu Yongwei's son and daughter, Zhou Zhihao and Zhou Xinxin. They were a few years younger than Zhou Hao and were still in primary school.
”It's okay, come in and have a seat.” Xu Yongwei invited Zhou Hao and his sister into the house with a look of impatience.
Compared to the small unit where Zhou Hao and his mother lived in, Zhou Lichang's big house seemed very luxurious.
Yan Tong was extremely nervous when she entered the room, afraid that she would dirty the room.
Entering the spacious hall, Zhou Hao saw his cousin Zhou Zhihao happily playing TV, while his cousin Zhou Xin Xin Xin Xin was playing her Kitty doll on the sofa.
Seeing Zhou Hao and Yan Tong approaching, these two siblings had no intention of paying any attention to them, and didn't even spare them a glance.
Looking at the overweeningly arrogant duo, Zhou Hao sneered in his heart. These two fellows had never been good people since they were young, and had become even more ferocious when they grew up.
Zhou Zhihao had learned to eat before graduating from high school, so Zhou Xinxin was not much better off. After growing up, she was sent by Zhou Lichang to America, but heard that she had contracted AIDS while she was there making friends.
”Sit down.” Xu Yongwei made Zhou Hao and Yan Tong sit in the dining room, but didn't have the slightest intention to reprimand his own children for their rudeness.
Zhou Hao thought that the reason why Zhou Zhihao and Zhou Xin Xin Xin would be so proud and depraved in the future was because of Xu Yongwei's indulgence.
Yan Tong immediately gave the basket of fruits to Xu Yongwei: ”Sister-in-law, where is brother? Isn't he home? ”
Xu Yongwei took the fruit and casually put it aside, ”He went out to drink with a friend last night and is still sleeping upstairs.”
She glanced at Yan Tong and Zhou Hao indifferently, then coldly sneered: ”The fact that you guys came this time, could it be that you want to borrow money again?”
Yan Tong immediately showed an awkward expression and mumbled, ”Sister-in-law, can you help us? Liren took away the family's money again, we don't even have Xiao Hao's tuition now. ”
”Ah Tong, it's not that I'm talking about you, you still haven't paid off the money you borrowed from my Old Zhou last time.”
As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Hao with a somewhat gloating smile: ”Xiao Hao, you must study diligently. Your father doesn't live up to his expectations, so don't you dare repeat the same mistakes as him.
”Auntie, I will.” Seeing the ridicule in Xu Yongwei's eyes, Zhou Hao really wanted to get up and give her a slap.
However, he also knew that now was not the time to be impulsive, so he firmly suppressed the rage in his heart.
Just then, Zhou Zhihao turned around and shouted to Zhou Hao, ”Ah Hao, come and play the game with me. This game is so fun to play.”
He looked at Zhou Hao as if to say: ”You probably haven't played the game on TV before.”
”No, we don't want him to dirty our sofa.” Beside him, Zhou Xin Xin had a look of disgust on her face: Mummy, when are they leaving? You see, the whole room stinks when they come in. ”
”How can you talk to people like that?” Xu Yongwei said these words but there was still no reprimand in his eyes.
The fist on Zhou Hao's leg that was clenched tightly trembled, memories from his past life surged into his mind once again.
At that time, Yan Tong had suffered from liver cancer and needed to be hospitalized for treatment, but because Zhou Hao had no money to go to university, Zhou Hao had no choice but to borrow money from him.
However, he never would have thought that Zhou Lichang, who already had tens of millions of gold, would actually reject Zhou Hao very straightforwardly.
Xu Yongwei who was present said expressionlessly, ”Since the cancer is at the end of the day, no matter how much money you spend, you should hurry up and prepare for the future.”
