Watching Zhou Xuennian turn and leave, Zhou Xueli's expression was beyond unpleasant. What he was thinking about was how he would explain this to Wufu in the future; how could he possibly face her?
The same disappointment filled Old Lady Zhou; the repeated folly of the eldest was truly the last straw for her.
"Mother, eldest brother he..."
Old Lady Zhou slightly closed her eyes and then opened them again, saying, "Don't bother with him anymore, let him be. We can't manage him!"
"Mother!" Zhou Xueli hesitated for a moment, but eventually recounted how Wufu had given him money to buy farmland for the main family, only for him to keep an eye on the main family's people to prevent any trouble, and finally said, "Mother, with elder brother acting like this, how can I explain this to her? I must return the land to her, right?"
