Chapter 460 Dumb Stepfather - Goodbye Zhou Juan
After Zhou Leng read the memories of his original body, he understood why his wish was not to treat his master well, because he had always done very well, so when he died, all he thought about was the resentment in his heart.
Wang Shancheng's respect and gratitude for his master Zhao Xinmin are like a torrent of water. He knows very well that without his master's careful teaching and cultivation, he would probably have to work for others all his life and live an ordinary and busy life.
In fact, Wang Shancheng has long regarded his master as half his father. This affection is not limited to visiting during the New Year and other festivals. Even on weekdays, as long as he has a little free time, he will not hesitate to go to his master's house to clean and do chores, because in his opinion, this is not only a way to repay his master, but also a continuation of family affection.
Zhao Xinmin had only one daughter, who married and moved overseas and came back once every two or three years. The old couple lived a frugal life on weekdays. Seeing Wang Shancheng's kindness and gratitude, they felt very comforted and their feelings for this apprentice changed from initial pity to love.
After Zhou Leng came, he actually didn't come as frequently as Wang Shancheng did before, but now that it was the New Year, he naturally had to come and visit to maintain his image.
When Zhou Leng entered the room, he unexpectedly ran into a familiar figure - Zhou Juan. She was clinging to a man, and Zhou Leng recognized him as his master's nephew at a glance.
Zhao Xinmin's nephew Yang Dali also knew Wang Shancheng, but he looked at Zhou Leng with contempt, then turned around and continued knocking on the door. His uncle had loved him since he was a child, and his sister lived well abroad. He took care of his uncle and aunt. In his heart, all these things of his uncle and aunt in the country would belong to him in the future. Wang Shancheng's appearance and attentiveness made him extremely disgusted, and he always felt that the other party had some ulterior motives.
Zhou Leng glanced at Zhou Juan sideways, and it seemed that she had found a new wallet. Zhou Juan obviously did not expect to meet Zhou Leng here, and her face instantly became a little ugly.
Zhou Leng saw his master sitting on the sofa. Zhao Xinmin, who had originally had a gloomy face, softened his expression and showed a friendly smile the moment he saw Zhou Leng.
"Shancheng is here, come in quickly, let's have a good drink today." Zhao Xinmin said enthusiastically.
Yang Dali snorted coldly.
Zhou Leng smiled innocently, nodded, and put the gift aside. He found his slippers skillfully, put them on, and walked into the living room.
When the Zhao Xinmin couple saw Zhou Leng, they treated him warmly as if he were their own nephew, and the man and woman sitting on the sofa were ignored.
"Dacheng, have you been very busy in the past six months? I asked your boss and he said that you work hard and are a down-to-earth person. You have not brought shame to your master."
Zhou Leng smiled after being praised, and then gestured with his hands to respond to his master's praise.
The master and the apprentice slowly sat down on the sofa. Zhao Xinmin looked at Yang Dali with a cold face and said, "I have guests at my house today. If you don't mind, you can stay and have a simple meal with us. As for what you said, don't mention it in the future. We old couple need to live a stable life."
Yang Dali couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this. He glared at Zhou Leng fiercely, as if he wanted to beat him up.
Zhou Leng looked very innocent, with an expression of simplicity, honesty and a bit of helplessness on his face.
Zhao Xinmin frowned and stared at his nephew in front of him, the anger in his heart erupting like a volcano. He couldn't understand why his nephew became like this?
In the past, Zhao Xinmin was quite optimistic about his nephew. After all, he had no son, and out of consideration for his sister, he took good care of his nephew.
Today, the nephew came to the house again, saying that he wanted to get married and needed to borrow money. This was the fourth time he had asked for money for marriage! Zhao Xinmin couldn't help but wonder: Is marriage such a trivial matter? Now that the nephew is idle and has no proper job, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. Who would marry him now?
Zhao Xinmin really felt that he had been heartbroken and could no longer endure it. From now on, he would no longer care about this nephew. He was old and wanted to enjoy his old age. He didn't want to be angry to death one day. He said loudly:
"You don't need to look at Shancheng. What does this have to do with him? You have taken more than 200,000 yuan from me. This is all on record. We are old and need pension money. You don't pay me back quickly. Now you are borrowing money from me, a man who is about to die. Your conscience has been taken away by a dog!"
Yang Dali felt no guilt at all. He put on a flattering face and said, "Uncle, just give me some. This is your future nephew's wife. She may give birth to a son. The first child she gave birth to is a son. I have no choice. I can't be without descendants. The previous ones were all girls. After I gave birth to the second child, they wanted to divorce me. It's not that I want to get married. Now those women are all arrogant. This guy always asks for divorce. I have no choice. I must have a son."
Zhou Leng secretly complained in his heart, what's the point of having a son? Is he going to inherit your poverty and stupidity?
Zhao Xinmin felt as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in his chest. The other party's repeated words "no descendants" were like a thorn in his side. He only had one daughter, so according to the other party, he would also have no descendants!
"Just shut up and go home to your parents. I don't have any money to lend you."
Yang Dali ignored his uncle's roar and continued with a smile, "Uncle, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but we are blood relatives and no better than outsiders. If others are nice to you, they are just trying to bribe you and take over your house in the future. You should be more careful."
Zhou Leng looked at the other person's contemptuous eyes and shook his head helplessly, as if to indicate that he would not do so.
Zhao Xinmin suppressed his inner anger and said gloomily, "Don't worry about my affairs. Your sister will come back with her child to settle down next month. You just need to take care of yourself."
Hearing this, the other party showed an expression of disbelief on his face. He widened his eyes and his voice was full of doubt and dissatisfaction: "What? My sister is coming back?"
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely enraging Zhao Xinmin. He was originally very happy because his daughter was about to come back to settle down, but the other party's tone made him feel extremely angry.
Zhao Xinmin's face turned red instantly, and he roared angrily: "Get out of here right now! Immediately!" His voice was deafening, full of anger and majesty.
At the same time, Zhao Xinmin's wife He Xiaohua was also angered by the other party's words. She quickly walked to the door, opened it without hesitation, and threw the gift brought by the other party out. Then, she turned around and glared at the other party, with anger in her eyes that seemed to be burning.
Yang Dali was very dissatisfied with being treated like this in front of his girlfriend. He gritted his teeth and pulled Zhou Juan away. The only people left in the room were the old couple who were breathing heavily and Zhou Leng, who was patting Zhao Xinmin's back with a worried look on his face.
