Chapter 970: Zhou Hengxing
....Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhou Hengguang nodded in agreement.
“A controlling mother-in-law would never approve of a strong-willed daughter-in-law, especially when the daughter-in-law is a son-in-law. Su Wen isn’t technically a daughter-in-law, so our mother has no right to interfere. The dynamic between mother and daughter-in-law has always been strained, making it easy for Song Zishan to manipulate the situation,” Zhou Nini remarked, concerned about the impending conflict.
“Big brother, what should we do if Aunt makes a move against Su Wen?” Zhou Nini asked, her worry evident.
“What do you mean? Are you concerned about Su Wen?” Zhou Hengguang questioned.
“I’m worried about Big Brother. It’s a challenging situation for him to be caught between a mother and daughter-in-law,” Zhou Nini explained, her curiosity often making her more observant in such matters.
“It’s fine. Big Brother has already left home. He won’t be coming back,” Zhou Hengguang replied, causing Zhou Nini’s heart to sink.
“Are you not coming back?” she asked sadly. “Then what should we do?”
“What do you mean, ‘what should we do’?” Zhou Hengguang brushed off her question, already contemplating marrying into the Su family.
Before they could delve deeper into the conversation, a new voice interrupted them. It was Zhou Hengxing, the fourth son of the Zhou family, who had returned from the capital. It’s quite unusual for him to come back from the capital this time. Well, perhaps ‘unusual’ isn’t the right word; the main reason for him to return this time was because of Zhou Hengyang.
“Let’s focus on Big Brother and Sister-in-law,” Zhou Nini suggested, shooting a glance at Zhou Hengxing. “You wouldn’t understand anyway.”
Infuriated, Zhou Hengxing retorted, “Get lost! What do you know? Stay out of it!”
Feeling rejected and frustrated, Zhou Nini left. As a double-faced spy, she couldn’t offer any valuable information to her third brother, adding to her frustration. It was disheartening to realize that even her brother doubted her intelligence.

Meanwhile, Su Wen and Su Xiu returned home and prepared a variety of delicious food. Afterwards, they watched cartoons with their younger siblings, enjoying the simple pleasures despite the poor quality of the television.
After finis.h.i.+ng the cartoon and noticing it was getting late with Su Qing still not back, Su Wen decided they should eat mooncakes first. They indulged in mooncakes and admired the early moon.
The conversation turned playful as the younger siblings discussed love interests in their cla.s.ses, leading to laughter and camaraderie among the sisters.
“The moon came out so early tonight.”
“I saw the moon before the sky turned dark,” Little sister chimed in eagerly.
“Me too,” Sixth sister nodded along, then asked with excitement, “Big sister, is Second sister in love?”
“What do you know about love?” Su Wen chuckled.
“Of course, we understand.”
“I understand too.”
The sixth sister and Little sister both raised their hands eagerly to speak.
“All the girls in our cla.s.s like our cla.s.s monitor.”
“All the boys in my cla.s.s like me.”
The mood took a turn when the Sixth Sister proudly announced her rejection of a cla.s.smate’s advances, prompting the youngest sister to complain of being bullied.
But that wasn’t the most shocking part; the real blow came next. The sixth sister smirked triumphantly at the Little sister and said, “Your cla.s.s monitor likes me too, but I don’t like him. I’ve already rejected him.”
Little sister burst into tears, wailing, “Waaah… Big sister, look, Sixth sister, is bullying me.” she cried.
