Chapter 1037: The Past
"Good! Good boy!"
"I knew you weren’t someone who doesn’t understand reason!"
"Can you call me uncle now?"
Zhou Zhenbang showed a smile on his face and spoke excitedly.
"Second Uncle."
Lin Feng spoke softly.
Since he had it figured out, Lin Feng wasn’t someone who would pretend, so he directly called out.
"Hahaha..."
"Good! Good! Good!"
"By the way, I couldn’t make it to your engagement last time, but I prepared a gift for you in the southwest. I’ll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow!"
"Bring my niece-in-law back to the courtyard sometime, let the uncles meet her!"
Zhou Zhenbang said happily.
"Okay!"
Lin Feng nodded.
He could see that Zhou Zhenbang was genuinely happy, not fake.
This kinship and affection were truly heartfelt!
"By the way, Lin Feng, let me tell you!"
"In our Zhou Family, among your uncles and your mother, you’re the only male descendant!"
"Your burden in the future will not be light!"
Zhou Zhenbang said with some emotion.
Indeed, the three Zhou brothers surprisingly had no sons!
The eldest, Zhou Zhenguo, has two daughters: one is a few years older than Lin Feng, the other is a year younger!
The second, Zhou Zhenbang, has only one daughter, two years older than Lin Feng!
The youngest, Zhou Zhenhua, has three daughters, the oldest is a year younger than Lin Feng, the youngest is only ten!
So, Lin Feng has two cousins and four cousin sisters!
"Uh..."
After hearing Zhou Zhenbang’s words, Lin Feng felt speechless inside...
Not a single boy...?
He really is the only seedling!
The two chatted about family matters, and the car quickly arrived at the family courtyard!
Once entering the courtyard, Lin Feng felt a slight nervousness!
Having always thought he had no uncles, Lin Feng suddenly learned recently that he still had grandparents and several uncles, and now he was meeting them!
It all felt a bit unreal!
So his mood was complicated, mixed with the nerves of recognizing relatives.
"Big Brother, I’m back!"
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Zhenbang shouted loudly.
"Second Brother, you loudmouth, you’re back, so just come in quietly!"
"What time is it, don’t disturb the neighbors!"
Zhou Zhenguo’s voice came from the living room!
"Hahaha..."
"Big Brother, look who’s here!"
Zhou Zhenbang laughed loudly.
Then he led Lin Feng into the living room!
Zhou Zhenguo slowly looked up, his gaze passed over Zhou Zhenbang and landed on Lin Feng.
He was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
"Lin Feng is here too!"
Zhou Zhenguo said with a smile.
"Mm."
Lin Feng nodded.
"Come sit down, treat it as your own home, don’t be a stranger!"
Zhou Zhenguo said happily.
Then, Lin Feng and Zhou Zhenbang walked to the sofa and sat down!
"Since Lin Feng came back with you, then things are resolved, right?"
Zhou Zhenguo asked with a smile.
"Mm, Big Brother, we promised the Zhou Family’s support for Ye Tianlong’s useless brother taking the position, only then did they relent."
Zhou Zhenbang said casually.
"Uh..."
"Support then, as long as Lin Feng is alright!"
Zhou Zhenguo paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.
Lin Feng noticed Zhou Zhenguo’s slight pause, it seems the cost was indeed not small!
It was a huge favor owed...
Then Zhou Zhenguo looked at the time, it was almost half past five in the morning.
Everyone had been busy with this matter all night long...
"Time is getting close, let’s chat over breakfast!"
"Lin Feng, if you have any questions, just ask, whatever we can tell you, your two uncles will!"
Zhou Zhenguo slowly said.
Soon, the three sat at the dining table, chatting over breakfast.
As for Lin Feng’s aunt and cousins, since it was still too early, they didn’t disturb them.
"Lin Feng, I guess you want to know why your grandfather broke off ties with your mother back then?"
Zhou Zhenguo slowly said after taking a sip of soy milk.
"Mm."
Lin Feng nodded.
"Actually, this is what happened back then."
"Your mother secretly took the household registration and registered for a certificate with your dad, which indeed infuriated your grandfather."
"But that’s not the main issue, after all, what’s done is done, your grandfather, though stubborn, is not unreasonable!"
"The key issue was, before your mother got the certificate, she already had you, which in those days was a huge deal, in that environment, that was worthy of the pig basket!"
"Even though your mom and dad got the certificate later, our Zhou Family’s rivals got hold of this, intending to use it to suppress us!"
"Moreover, your grandfather was about to retire, the situation was precarious, if they succeeded, our entire Zhou Family would be finished!"
"So your grandfather had to make a decisive decision, expelling your mother from the family, even if it meant our Zhou Family was ruined, to save the three of you, leaving a bloodline for the Zhou Family!"
"And to make the enemy believe it, it had to be real!"
"This, your mother doesn’t know!"
"Given your mother’s fiery and stubborn temperament, if she knew, she would never agree! She would definitely stand with the Zhou Family against it!"
"Later as the matter escalated, everyone in Jingcheng knew, and it became genuine!"
"Your mother cut all ties with your grandfather and left with your dad!"
"Even though your grandfather was reluctant, the situation was already out of control!"
"Your grandfather, being extremely stubborn, would find it harder than anything to admit a mistake and bow down!"
"Later, our Zhou Family survived those years and gradually found stability!"
"Your grandfather was sulking, like a child, since your mother didn’t contact the family, he wouldn’t actively reach out, refusing to back down!"
"But, your grandmother saw him more than once, secretly taking out your mother’s album late at night, looking at it silently!"
"It turns out, he regrets it, he’s just too stubborn to admit defeat! In his words, ’What father apologizes to his daughter!’
"But over the years, he has secretly kept an eye on you three, every now and then making excuses to contact old comrades for news about your mom!"
"We all knew, we just couldn’t discuss it!"
"So over the years, several times I suggested letting your parents and you come to Jingcheng, but your grandfather disagreed, thinking Jingcheng was too dangerous, fearing the entire Zhou Family would fall if not cautious!"
"Besides, he felt the three of you were living a happy life now and didn’t want to disturb that peace!!"
