Chapter 821 Urging marriage
"I know, Dad!"
Zhou Tian nodded. He originally thought that his father-in-law and his family would not be able to accept this matter, but the development of the matter was beyond his expectations.
The worries in his heart completely disappeared, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the atmosphere at home was a little weird during dinner, it was generally okay.
However, Zhou Ting and Zhou Yu ate much slower when they sensed the unusual atmosphere. They kept looking at their eldest brother and Wu Yue'e, especially the two children in Wu Yue'e and her sister-in-law's arms. It was obvious that they had doubts.
After the meal, Wu Yue'e, perhaps in order to leave a good impression on the Zhou family, took the initiative to stand up and help everyone clean up the dishes. Several people refused several times, but seeing that Wu Yue'e was determined to do so, they let her join in.
Listening to the whispered conversations of Shen Yulin, his mother-in-law, and Wu Yue'e in the kitchen, Zhou Tian smiled with relief, but when his eyes swept over his father-in-law with a gloomy face, his smile instantly disappeared.
"Old man, look, these two little guys look exactly like Xiaobei and the others when they were little. They are so cute!"
At this moment, grandma's voice sounded in the house. Shen Jie's face turned black. He couldn't help but stand up and walked out of the house. Although he had accepted this fact, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard these words.
"dad!"
Seeing Shen Jie was about to leave, Zhou Tian couldn't help but stand up and call out.
"Okay, dinner is over. I'm going to go home first. Just let your mother go back by herself later!"
After saying that, Shen Jie walked straight out of the house and went out.
"Brother, what on earth is going on?"
Watching his father-in-law leave, Zhou Tian wanted to persuade him again, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had to figure this out by himself. If he tried to persuade him again, it might just add fuel to the fire, so he gave up.
Before he sat down, his younger brother Zhou Yu came over and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay. It's none of your business. By the way, Xiaoyu, you're not young anymore. You've been working for two years. Isn't it time to find me a younger sister?"
When he saw his younger brother, Zhou Tian remembered that his younger brother was already 25 years old this year and it was time for him to find a partner. Over the years, he had been busy with work and neglected his younger brother's marriage. If his younger brother did not find a partner, he would become an older single young man, which was not what he wanted to see.
"Brother, this, this, I'm not in a hurry yet, I think I can wait a little longer!"
Hearing his elder brother's words, Zhou Yu's old face turned slightly red and he quickly waved his hand to refuse.
You know, it's been less than three years since he graduated from college. He finally has a few years of freedom to live his life. He doesn't want to get married as early as his eldest and second brothers.
"No, you can't do that. Find me a younger brother or sister after you graduate this year. Otherwise, you won't be able to come home next year!"
Zhou Tian's expression suddenly darkened, and he looked straight at Zhou Yu. Now among the three brothers, only Zhou Yu has not yet married. He could not forget his father's instructions. He forgot it before, which was indeed his fault. But now his younger brother actually planned to refuse. He could not let him do this.
"Brother, that's not the case. Even if we are looking for a partner, it won't be easy to find one. Besides, this is an arranged marriage. I want to fall in love freely!"
When Zhou Yu heard this and looked at his elder brother's oppressive gaze, he immediately felt rebellious and said with gritted teeth.
"I don't care if this is an arranged marriage or not. If you don't bring one home before the Chinese New Year next year, I'll let you into my house!"
After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he stopped looking at Zhou Yu and turned to walk towards his two sons.
"Hey, brother? You're being unreasonable!"
Zhou Yu still wanted to argue with his elder brother, but seeing that his elder brother no longer paid attention to him, he could only hang his head and feel annoyed.
"What the hell is this? I was originally asking about my eldest brother Wu Yue'e and the two children, but how did it become that I'm being urged to get married? If I had known this, I wouldn't have asked!"
"Forget it, let's go back to work right after the New Year. If this continues, will I still be alive?"
Muttering, Zhou Yu could only sit down on the chair depressedly, secretly venting his anger.
Zhou Tian didn't care what Zhou Yu thought. He came to the bed and looked at the two children surrounded by six little ones and their grandparents. He couldn't help but stop.
"Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, look at them, they are so cute, what do you think, should we ask our parents to give us a few more children to play with?"
Zhou Zhibei teased the two children lying on the bed, his eyes shining with admiration, while talking to his brothers.
"What are you talking about, you little brat? What do you mean by asking mom and dad to have more children for us to play with? Are you still not satisfied with being beaten? But, to be honest, why do I feel that these two little guys are so similar to us when we were little?"
Zhou Zhinan couldn't help but laugh and scolded his little brother, then stroked his chin with his hand and said uncertainly.
"Third brother, you're not saying this is our father's illegitimate child outside, are you?"
Zhou Zhiming and Zhou Zhiye were already grown up, so they naturally knew what their third brother meant. They couldn't help but laugh and joke about it, but even though they said that, they didn't believe it. After all, they saw clearly how much their parents loved each other.
They don't believe that their father would dare to do something stupid behind their mother's back.
"Okay, I'm just saying that. If you don't believe me, ask your grandmother. She just said it looks like it!"
Zhou Zhinan shuddered instantly and immediately changed the subject, saying that he didn't want to be beaten by his parents because of this matter.
"Humph, Zhou Zhinan, you have really grown up. You actually dare to make up stories about me, your father. How can I not show my authority if I don't beat you up?"
Just as Zhou Zhinan finished speaking, Zhou Tian's voice suddenly rang out from behind him. His face instantly turned bitter. He turned to look at his gloomy father and couldn't help but sneered, "Dad, I was just talking nonsense, nonsense. No, it was my fourth and fifth brothers who started it. Don't blame me!"
As he spoke, he took a few steps back and then ran towards the kitchen.
While running, he shouted, "Mom, my dad wants to beat me, can you do anything about it? I'm already this old!"
Before Zhou Tian could react, he ran into the kitchen.
Seeing the third brother's actions, the remaining five boys looked at their father and swallowed.
"Dad, I didn't say that. It was my third brother who said that. Yes, it was my third brother who said that, not me!"
Zhou Zhiming and Zhou Zhiye also took a few steps back. They knew that even though their father was usually very nice to them, he would really beat them if they really did something wrong. Thinking back to when their third brother was whipped by their father and couldn't get out of bed for two days because he complained that grandma's cooking was not as delicious as their father's, they felt a chill down their spine.
"Okay, Xiaotian, stop scaring the children. Look, what have you done to them?"
