Is the Zhou Family under your control, or is it under Zhou Xianrong's control?
This question seems simple, but it's actually incredibly sharp.
Because this is indeed the problem Zhou Wenyuan will face in the future, and Lu Yu is merely stating it in advance.
By common reasoning, sons inherit their father's business, so the Zhou Family's management should ultimately fall to the eldest son—Zhou Wenyuan.
However, now, before Zhou Fengming went to Lin'an City, he handed the task of managing the family to his adopted son Zhou Xianrong!
This behavior really makes people speculate about Zhou Fengming's intentions!
Thinking about it, Zhou Wenyuan became utterly panicked, and this led to a suspicion in his heart: Could it be that his father Zhou Fengming plans to skip him and hand the family's management over to Zhou Xianrong!?
