After speaking, he paused for a moment and continued, "On the way to the countryside, Dad swore he would keep them pinned down, and I didn’t persuade him otherwise. When he returned at night, I saw his anger had subsided a bit, so I made a suggestion. Listen as well; if you disagree, then I won’t bother tomorrow. For Dad’s sake, so he won’t regret it in the future, and in gratitude for grandma’s kindness in raising us, I want to shield your uncle, pin all the charges on that woman. What do you think? I’ll follow your lead. Dad wants me to first gauge Zhou Xiaocun’s attitude tomorrow. If it’s not good, don’t bother with him, instructing me to clean up neatly so we don’t get caught up." Zhou Jiao remained silent for a long time. After a pause, she looked up at him and said, "Brother, you should gauge his attitude tomorrow." Zhang Guoqing nodded upon hearing this, "Tomorrow, I’ll figure out a way to make him dare not mess with us. Don’t worry, back then in the car accident, I was too soft-hearted, and I won’t give people another chance. As long as he makes any moves after getting out, the same way he got out, he can be put back in." Zhou Jiao didn’t want to hear about past events, and she was even more unwilling to mention those people from the Zhou family. Now that she has a father, Zhang Guoqing, and a son, she has no interest in others. Quickly changing the subject, she said, "Brother, look at me. I’ll show you, everything Dad gave me. My dad treats me well, right? Don’t tell anyone else; he forbade me from telling a third party." With her words, a pile of diamonds appeared beside Little Ping’an on the kang. They were all large grains, a small heap with pink, deep blue, and yellow mixed in, glittering brightly under the light, very dazzling. Fresh chapters posted on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱 Zhang Guoqing took a glance and lost interest, focusing entirely on his son, "Jiao Jiao, your son’s big dark eyes are way prettier than these small stones. Son, you are the biggest diamond. My son is so handsome; when you grow up, Dad will get jade stones for you to use as marbles. When our son plays happily, just throw one casually, wouldn’t Jiao Jiao be so chic?" "Prodigal father, your son will turn into a playboy." Zhang Guoqing jokingly refuted, "Our son definitely won’t be a playboy. We have strong genes. Look, before he’s even a month old, our Ping’an can listen to what I say and look for me, you see right? Definitely high intelligence. You put away those sparkling things; they are not good for his eyes. Dad has given you all his savings. Keep it safe, and hand it over to him when he needs it in the future." Zhou Jiao handed him a stack of bank books. Zhang Guoqing picked them up and flipped through, immediately figuring out the addresses; most are in Shanghai and some abroad. "Put everything away; these shouldn’t see the light of day. Get a chance to withdraw all from those cities. Keep the foreign slips safe and wait for future plans. Our son is still too young; otherwise, we could travel across the country without needing introduction letters for now. Once I start working, I wouldn’t be at ease letting you and our son go out." Hearing about going out, Zhou Jiao suddenly thought of going back to Beijing at the end of the year, and quickly said, "By the way, I just asked you to handle the trip to Beijing. Don’t forget?" Zhang Guoqing nodded, "I remember what you instructed. Then plan to stay in Beijing until I start work and come back, then see how our son adapts, find a chance to go to Shanghai. It’s not urgent; those dowries are nothing worth worrying about. But the space needs caution. Jiao Jiao, does your space fit? There’s still plenty to prepare." Zhou Jiao patted her head, confused, looking at him, "Did I not tell you that the space expanded when we got here? It was as big as just the living room before, now it’s two classrooms" Zhou Guoqing gently touched her head, "Don’t hit so hard, does it hurt? Maybe you did mention, and I didn’t notice. You don’t need to worry, leave things to me to handle, you just guide me. Oh, I’ve already been stimulated by Dad. Do you think we should take out a box of gold bars for him to see, so he won’t always worry about you suffering?" Jiao Jiao burst into laughter, rocked with amusement, "You say it, we really should let them see. So they don’t always worry we’re short on money." Zhang Guoqing hurriedly supported her, helping her catch her breath, "Hmm, just prepare 20 large yellow fishes and small yellow fishes in a box; I remember you have them, it’s inconspicuous, just say we secretly prepared it ourselves. When they give money, just take it out right away. No more accepting cash, so they’re also less pressed." "Sure, I’ll follow your advice. Will it shock them?" Zhang Guoqing confidently said, "No, Dad has seen everything. At most, he’ll wonder who gave them, he probably won’t ask. In his eyes, they’re nothing special; he has high standards. Don’t look at him like he’s a soldier; he knows about antiques and paintings. Looking at the jewelry and diamonds he gave you, ordinary things wouldn’t catch his eye. Gold bars just show that we really aren’t lacking money."
