Zhou Xiang couldn't chew the pig's trotter in his hand any more. Did this man know what was going on with his sister? If he knew, and still asked his sister to take their daughter away, he was simply not a human being.

"So, what about her eldest daughter?"

"She's staying with Doctor Cao! The little girl is also very stubborn. No matter who persuades her to go to the county town with her aunt, she just refuses to go."

Zhou Xiang put the pig's trotters back into the bowl in front of him, went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and took out his cell phone to call Tian Cheng.

"sister in law."

"Tian Cheng, come to the backyard."

"good."

Dong Yunrong was puzzled, "Think about it, do you want to interfere in the Zhu family's affairs?"

"Zhu? Guo Xuehua's husband's family?"

"Yes."

"I just wanted to see if I could help."

Dong Yunrong shook her head. "How can you help? That's their business. Besides, it's a good thing that my aunt wants to take care of her niece! Who knows why these mother and daughter are so stubborn?"

Zhou Xiang did not refute it, saying that the specific situation needed to be investigated and evidence would be collected before we could make a decision.

Tian Cheng came quickly, "Sister-in-law."

Zhou Xiang pointed at the stool and he sat down obediently.

"Tian Cheng, go west on East-West Street at the north end. There's a family surnamed Zhu. A husband just beat his wife. Go and find out about the Zhu family's daughter. Especially go to the county town and investigate the Zhu family's daughter's husband."

Dong Yunrong was shocked. "Think about it, do you think there's something wrong with the Zhu family's son-in-law?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "I suspect there's something wrong with the Zhou family's daughter. You also said that she often lives at home and hasn't held a wedding yet she announced to the public that she's already married.

Mom, there's a new term in the South called mistress, do you know it?"

Dong Yunrong opened her mouth in surprise, "You, you suspect that the Zhu family's daughter is someone else's mistress."

"Yes! It's just a suspicion, and Guo Xuehua is unwilling to let her daughter and sister-in-law go to the county to work, and her daughter also disagrees. Outsiders hear that it's a good thing. Maybe the mother and daughter know it well, but they don't want to air the family scandal in public?

Tian Cheng, you must find out the details of Zhu's son-in-law. If there is a tigress in the family, then secretly tell the matter of Zhu's daughter to that man's wife. If the family lets it go, then expose the matter in the town.

You have to hide it carefully and don't get into trouble. If there is something wrong with that man, report it to the police. Anyway, the matter of the Zhu family's daughter must be exposed.

If the daughter of the Zhu family really gets married, we will see what happens."

Tian Cheng went to work, and Dong Yunrong sat there in a daze for a while. "No, I have to pay attention. According to what you said, the daughter of the Zhu family took her eldest niece to the county town with bad intentions."

Zhou Xiang grabbed her mother-in-law and said, "Please don't show up! Even if we are the ones who exposed the matter, I will not take the blame.

I suspect the Zhu family's daughter intends to use her eldest niece to consolidate her favor. You just need to keep an eye on her and make sure she's still in the market town and hasn't been forcibly taken away."

Dong Yunrong nodded, "I know, I know. I'll see what happens."

The three children looked at Zhou Xiang with their eyes wide open, because Zhou Xiang washed his hands and continued to gnaw on the pig's trotter.

"Aunt, second aunt, is it second aunt?" Yuanyuan's baby voice sounded.

Zhou Xiang spat out the piece of meat she had just bitten off. Zhou's mother glared at her little girl and said, "You deserve it. I told you not to talk about things regardless of the occasion."

"Yuanyuan, this word represents someone who has done something bad. It's not the same as Second Grandma. You'll understand when you grow up. Remember this word now. Don't say it casually. It's embarrassing to say it."

"oh."

Shanshan also responded with "Oh."

Zhou Weibin rolled his eyes, and when Zhou Xiang glared at him, he chuckled twice.

Zhou Xiang coughed dryly and said, "Next time, when you hear me talking about something, you must close your ears and not listen."

Yuanyuan's voice of objection was raised immediately, "Auntie, you are lying. I can't close my ears."

"Can't you just cover it up?"

Yuanyuan looked at the oil on her paws and shook her head.

Zhou's mother told her three children to wash their hands and not to listen to their aunt and uncle's nonsense.

Zhou wanted to continue gnawing on the pig's trotter in his hand. He had to keep fooling people to become smart!

The next morning, Dong Yunrong came again. "Think about it, when I saw Guo Xuehua like that, I couldn't help crying. Why is it so difficult to be a woman?"

"What happened again?"

"Her husband forcibly took her home, saying she only had minor injuries and needed to rest at home. He even refused to take the free medicine that Doctor Cao gave her. I think he's planning to let Guo Xuehua die. What do you think Guo Xuehua is thinking? After she dies, the girls will be bullied by others. Why is she still clinging to that family?"

What was she thinking? She just felt like there was no way out after the divorce! What would have happened if she had just insisted on it in her previous life?

"Think about it?"

Zhou Xiang came back to his senses. "Mom, if someone gets stuck in a rut, there's no way to pull them back. Aren't you keeping an eye on her eldest daughter? Pay more attention to her condition, too! If things are really bad, we should help if we can. It's a life at stake! Back then, when she worked at my house, we all liked her. She was diligent and quiet."

"Okay, I'll go back now."

"Talk to her neighbors too."

"Um!"

After her mother-in-law left, Zhou Xiang sighed deeply. Life was difficult for women, but if Guo Xuehua didn't wake up herself, no one could help her.

In the afternoon, Tian Cheng came back. Yuanyuan quickly covered her ears, but her short hands couldn't cover them at all.

Zhou's mother took her out, but she refused and was tricked into leaving by Zhou Xiang. "Yuanyuan, you'll get fat if you sit still every day."

So she took Shanshan and Binbin for a walk.

Zhou's mother Tian Li and Chen Wenlian followed along, and the blind lady wanted to listen to some gossip, so she stayed.

What Tian Cheng reported made Zhou Xiang feel both surprised and not surprised.

Zhu Qinzhen, the daughter of the Zhu family, was indeed a mistress. The man was said to be an investor from the south who had been in Huai County for several years. Zhu Qin met him through someone else.

One was rich and the other loved money, and they hit it off immediately. Zhu Qin had high standards and had not found a husband in her twenties yet, which caused her to be laughed at by her neighbors for a while. After being with this man, she told others that she liked staying at her parents' home, letting those who laughed at her for not being able to get married see that not only did she get married, but she also married a rich man. Every time she bought a good thing, she would show it at the door, and her mother would sing along and talk loudly.

The neighbors felt a headache when they heard this, but since the woman really had a lot of food and fish and looked like she had no shortage of money, they just endured it and didn't make a fuss with her.

After a long time, Zhu Qin felt bored and started to act like her sister-in-law at home. She said that her sister-in-law did not earn money and she was the one paying for all the household expenses. She ate and drank her food and drinks, so she should serve her well. It was okay to go out and work and serve others, but what was wrong with serving her sister-in-law at home?

Zhu Qin also often gave pocket money to her brother Zhu Ping, and gradually Zhu Ping got used to having his wife work as a servant at home.

Zhu Qin also supported her when she went out to avoid the family planning policy. It was she who persuaded her mother to send her two nieces away, and it was Zhu Qin who paid the fine for the youngest daughter.
