The Zhou Family residence, dining hall.
Before an oval dining table, nearly a dozen members of the Nanjiang Zhou Clan were gathered for a small pre-dinner meeting.
Zhou Shiyou, already in his eighties, sat at the head of the table in casual attire. Although his skin looked aged and he was a bit thin, his eyes were bright and full of spirit, giving him a vigorous appearance.
Below Elder Zhou were the three Zhou brothers—Zhou Ruixuan, Zhou Rui Fu, and Zhou Ruming—along with their wives. Further down were some of the younger generation, all seated at the far end of the table.
