Chen Suwen, possessing the 'healing,' 'wood,' and 'fire' elemental abilities, is a hot-tempered and shrewish individual. She unexpectedly transmigrates into the persona of a...
"Cunzhi's mother, what are you saying? You want to bring this jinx home to raise?"
Those who were eating at the banquet were immediately displeased to see that Chen Suwen actually wanted to raise this jinx who had no parents.
She glanced at Chen Suwen's family members. Although there were three sons, there were not many grandsons. It seemed that she wanted to take this jinx back and raise him as her own grandson.
“Cunzhi’s mom, what’s so good about this jinx? If you want to raise a child, take a look at my dog.”
“Look, my dog is much better than this jinx. He brought death to his own parents.”
The man pulled his grandson aside and introduced him to Chen Suwen. Although he was very reluctant to part with his grandson, he thought that if Chen Suwen could raise his grandson, he would be very fortunate.
Once Chen Suwen's family raises her grandson, won't they reap a rich reward?
In what way is her grandson inferior to this jinx?
"Promoting feudal superstition, do you want to get arrested?" Chen Suwen glanced at the other person coolly.
Although the crackdown isn't as intense now, people are still afraid of being reported for promoting feudal superstition.
"Besides, your grandson isn't as good-looking as this child. I like good-looking children."
Although it sounded like a child trafficker trying to abduct a child, she was telling the truth; Zhou Mingye, this mixed-race child, was indeed very beautiful.
His appearance is more like that of an East Asian, but slightly more defined; his eyes and brows don't have the particularly deep-set look of a Westerner.
She has a very gentle, Asian appearance, with few mixed-race features except for her blue eyes.
Perhaps because the parents are very good-looking, this child inherited their good looks.
That person's grandson was only of average appearance.
Not ugly, but far inferior to Zhou Mingye.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying my grandson is ugly? Chen Suwen, open your eyes and look, how handsome my grandson is!"
“My grandson has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks so much like me. How dare you say he’s ugly?”
That person could not tolerate Chen Suwen belittling his grandson.
In her eyes, her grandson was perfect in every way, and no one could compare to him. Chen Suwen's claim that her grandson was ugly was simply a sign of poor taste.
Chen Suwen snorted coldly, "I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
"...Grandpa."
Zhou Mingye was still somewhat afraid of Chen Suwen, a stranger, and could only seek comfort from Zhou Qingshan, an elder he was more familiar with.
Zhou Qingshan looked down at the child's tattered clothes and thin body and sighed.
In previous years, everyone was struggling financially, and people couldn't even feed themselves properly, so there wasn't much help they could offer Zhou Mingye.
Fortunately, the Guangdong province has a mild climate all year round and there haven't been any major disasters in recent years, so even though each household doesn't have much food, they can still find something else for him to eat.
For example, you can plant cassava, yam, or other similar things on the mountain, or sweet potatoes, corn, etc., wherever there is a gap.
These kinds of things supplemented carbohydrates, and the vegetables included wild greens. Although they weren't very oily, they still allowed Zhou Mingye to survive and grow to the age of six.
Zhou Qingshan sighed and rubbed his head. "Xiao Ye, don't be afraid. That's your fourth grandfather's wife. You can call her your fourth grandmother."
"She likes you very much."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingye looked at Chen Suwen with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.
Do you like him?
He received very little kindness in the village; even his own grandfather avoided him, and it was already a favor if he was given a place to stay.
Of all the people in the village, only his great-grandfather treated him well. His great-grandmother also disliked him, but she wouldn't stop his great-grandfather from being nice to him.
Zhou Qingyun looked at the child standing next to his elder brother, and then at his wife who had walked up to him.
"Brother, this child is Pingwen's grandson. Has something happened to Ziquan?"
"I remember Ziquan was quite successful back then. Wasn't it Ziquan who paid for most of the money to build the house his family is in now?"
Don't mention that Zhou Mingye's parents died and his grandparents took him in and gave him a place to live.
The house that Zhou Mingye's family lives in now was built with most of the money paid by his father. Although his father is no longer here, he still has a share in the house.
"Pingwen and the others live in a house that Ziquan paid for, yet they treat Ziquan's son so badly. Is this what everyone is seeing?" Zhou Qingyun asked, puzzled.
Zhou Qingshan sighed, "This is Pingwen's family matter, and no one should interfere too much."
There were times when Zhou Qingshan couldn't stand it anymore, and he would talk to Zhou Pingwen, asking him to treat Ziquan's only child better.
But Zhou Pingwen always agreed readily, only to soon turn a blind eye to Zhou Mingye's predicament and show no concern for his grandson's life or death.
"Hmph, it's understandable that Zhou Pingwen's wife is his second wife, so he doesn't like the children left by his first wife."
"But Zhou Ziquan is Zhou Pingwen's biological son. What? A stepmother doesn't care about a son who isn't her own, but Zhou Pingwen doesn't care about his own son either?"
"Is this child Zhou Pingwen's biological grandson? Does he think he has enough grandsons already, so he doesn't care about this one?"
Having a stepfather meant having a stepmother, and this was also reflected in Zhou Ziquan's marriage.
Zhou Pingwen and his second wife's son are already married, but Zhou Ziquan is still not married. As the eldest brother, he only managed to save up enough money for a bride price to get married after his third brother got married.
Later, the couple had their children relatively late, so although Zhou Mingye was the eldest son's child, he also had several cousins.
