"Grandma knows now?"

"Of course I did. I used the fact that Liu Shan was harassing my sisters to ask her to let you and Third Brother come back. When she saw Liu Shan standing still on the threshold, she must have immediately believed what I said and beat him up."

Seeing his second sister lowering her head, Zhou Xiang patted her shoulder and said, "Be brave. This is a hurdle that must be overcome. Don't keep it in your heart. Take it out and expose it to the sun and disinfect it. Am I not facing it calmly?

I want to tell Mom about this. If Liu Shan and Xiao Hou come to Mom to plead for mercy, and Mom is soft-hearted, all my efforts will be in vain. What do you think? If you don’t agree, I won’t tell Mom. "

Zhou Yu raised his head. "I agree. We can't let that beast stay here. If he gets fired, if Grandma can kick him out, he should be able to go back to Jiang Province. Once he goes back, I'll feel at ease."

"Grandma will definitely chase him away, otherwise, even if we get those things back, we won't be able to keep them."

Zhou wanted to go to the main house to call his mother, but his mother was still sulking.

"Oh, Mom, you'll soon realize how pretentious you are. Just like grandma, I don't know what you're being pretentious about!"

Zhou Xiang dragged his mother into the kitchen, locked the door, and told her about Liu Shan's beastly behavior.

Mother Zhou looked at her two daughters in disbelief, "Really? Did he really do something worse than an animal?"

"Huh, now you know how to scold him? I just scolded him for being useless, and you still scolded me."

"Don't you know the reason, Mom?"

"So you really don't understand your own daughter? If this hadn't happened, would I have scolded him? Your daughter doesn't scold people easily, but if she does, there must be a reason. You don't care about the reason, but instead become hypocritical and sulky!"

"Think about it, it was Mom who was wrong. Mom shouldn't have said that to you. You were right to scold him. He deserved it! Yu'er, Mom is sorry for you. I made you live with that beast for five years, and you lived in fear for five years."

Zhou Yu threw himself into his mother's arms and cried sadly, "Every time you go, I hope you're here to pick me up, but every time you say you have no money, and leave after leaving behind your living expenses. I'm disappointed every time, and I hide away every time. I don't dare go home after school, and I don't dare stay at home during holidays. How can I study with peace of mind? I'm jealous that my sister can follow you. Even if I have to get up early every day, I can still feel at ease!"

Mother Zhou hugged her grown-up daughter and patted her on the back, "Blame Mom, it's all Mom's fault!"

After the mother and daughter cried enough, Zhou Xiang expressed his thoughts, "I think he'll lose his job this time. If it was just one extra child, he might not be fired, but he's also stealing. Add it all up, it's almost done. I'm telling you this not to make you feel guilty, but to give you a heads-up.

If he and his wife come to you to plead for mercy, you must not give in. If you dare to give in, we sisters will never forgive you in our lifetime. We all hope that he can go back to Jiang Province."

"Where's your grandma?"

"Grandma knew I had a dream. The two factors combined allowed her to bring my second sister and third brother out."

Zhou Yu wiped away his tears and asked, "What dream?"

"Don't worry about it. It's not a good dream. It's useless for you to listen to it. As long as it's useful for grandma to listen to it, that's enough."

Zhou Yu did not ask any more questions. Zhou's mother knew that it was not a dream, but a real experience. She made up her mind to drive Liu Shan back to Jiangxi Province.

"Mom, it's a bit difficult to deal with grandma. I think we should find a nanny to take care of her! She can tolerate Liushan because she's lonely. She's the only one in that house."

"Who can I turn to? Who can give up their own family and take care of an elderly person for years?"

"Look around! It's best to find a widow, childless, or one whose children don't support her, in her forties or fifties. Those with families won't be able to stay there comfortably, and if she's alone, she can treat grandma's place like a half-home."

Mother Zhou nodded. "Okay, let me ask around. Have you signed up?"

"I've signed up. I'll pick up the books tomorrow morning. Let's go see grandma after I get them! She wasn't in a good mood yesterday, so I was in a hurry to come back and sign up."

"I'll go too." Zhou Yu also wanted to go and see his grandmother. Although she didn't treat him and his brother well, they had lived together for five years after all.

"Don't go. Stay home. Do you still want your diploma? After you get your diploma, go see her."

Zhou Yu let out a helpless sound.

At night, after Zhou Xiang entered the space, he went straight to bed to catch up on his sleep!

I woke up after getting enough sleep and realized it was almost dawn outside. How could I have slept that long? More than seven hours, ten times that is seventy hours. Even a pig can't sleep that long.

I left the space without knowing why and started to make breakfast. The day began again with my second sister's screams.

Zhou Xiang, carrying his backpack across his body, entered the classroom before the bell rang for the first class.

Seeing that my seat was still next to the podium, I wanted to move it to the back row, but Teacher Guo came in and said, "Don't move it, just leave it here."

Zhou Xiang put down the stool in his hand and sat down at the desk.

"Xie Zhuang, take a few classmates to move the books."

After receiving the books, the break began. After Teacher Guo left, everyone surrounded Zhou Xiang.

"Zhou Xiang, I brought duck feathers."

"Zhou Xiang, I brought this with me."

Zhou Xiang stood up and said, "Okay, come one by one. I believe everyone has weighed their own food at home. As for me, I will pay according to the amount you reported. However, I will write the name and quantity on the newspaper outside each person's bag. If the goods don't match the order after you go back, I'm sorry, but I won't charge you next time."

"Don't worry! We definitely won't cheat our classmates. Come on, everyone, line up and don't waste time."

Xie Zhuang was used to being in a leadership position, directing everyone to line up.

Zhou wanted Xie Zhuang to help him write his name and weight on the wrapped newspaper, and then he took out a handful of change and paid the bill.

"Zhong Ling, the weight you reported is wrong, right? I've taken so many of them, I can feel it with my hands. You don't weigh half a pound."

Zhou Xiang didn't even raise his head and said, "Zhong Ling's won't be accepted."

"Why? On what basis?" Zhong Ling was dissatisfied.

"Is it okay if I just do what I want? I didn't tell you to send duck feathers before the New Year! Why? I want to know why. Why are you telling everyone that I cheated to get a perfect score?

You've embarrassed Principal Li and the school. If I hadn't gotten a perfect score in front of dozens of people, the school would have been completely disgraced. I'm doing you a favor by not expelling you. Don't be so shameless!"

"Ah? There's such a thing? We didn't even know about it!"

"Isn't this a disgrace to our class?"

"That's right, please move aside quickly, we still need to sell duck feathers!"

Zhong Lingqi reached out to grab Zhou Xiang's face, "You're shameless! You're collecting duck feathers and reselling them, right? You only give them to the students for two cents per ounce. You're making money by cheating!"
