In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Zhou Hua still had a different opinion. "Everyone else doesn't want to separate, but we have to? It will be unpleasant to hear other people's gossip!"
"Let's wait and see!" Xiao Chunmei comforted her husband. "Let's see what my sister says after the Chinese New Year. I guess we'll split up completely."
"How do you know?" Zhou Hua was confused.
"Since Big Brother said so, there must be something going on."
The room fell silent. After a long while, Zhou Hua finally sighed, "Meizi, we want only Hanhan. After Hanhan gets married, it will be the two of us supporting each other until we grow old.
You've seen it, it's not just our family that's like this; your two sisters-in-law are pretty much the same. I've found that brothers and sisters gradually change after they get married. Even if they don't think they've changed, as long as they care about their own families, they've changed."
"Yes!" Xiao Chunmei agreed. Why did she take her daughter to the capital? It was because her two sisters-in-law from her mother's family said bad things to her. She was unwilling to let her daughter suffer in her mother's family, so she also stubbornly argued with her mother-in-law and refused to send her daughter back.
"Zhou Hua, my sister apologized to me, and I felt relieved, but also a little guilty. The way my sister-in-law gets along with my mother, and the way I get along with our mother, I really understand that it's impossible for a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law to have the same relationship as a biological daughter and mother."
The family conflicts in recent years have made Zhou Hua completely understand what his sister said back then. The one who is fighting between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is a man. He really can't stand on his mother's side. Even if his mother is right, he can't ignore his lover's opinion and his own family.
"As the tree grows, the branches branch out; as the sons grow up, the family branches out. This old saying is true."
At this time, Zhou Xiang was receiving Master Xie in the living room. Xie Zhuang came here according to the meal time, but was interrupted by someone halfway. When he arrived, the Zhou family had already finished breakfast. After eating something casually to fill his stomach, he began to complain to Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Xiang listened quietly to his rambling about various dissatisfactions, and kindly added some tea for him, "Come, take a couple of sips to moisten your throat, and then continue."
Xie Zhuang felt as if he had punched cotton, feeling extremely frustrated. "My bonus and salary are nothing, but my face! I've been laughed at by the villagers for two years."
"How did you laugh at me?"
Xie Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about it. Now that you're back safely, I can be arrogant again."
"Yes!" Zhou Xiang nodded. "Next year, we won't sell any fruit to the public. We'll keep some to make dried fruit. I'll calculate your bonus based on the price of 8 yuan per pound. This is your hard work pay for the past two years."
Four stacks of money appeared on the coffee table in front of Zhou Xiang. "This is the amount I'll give you for now."
Xie Zhuang laughed and said, "That's enough. If you raise the price of fruit, your bonus will be more than half as much. Besides, if you don't sell fruit to the public, hahahaha, the people who can be pissed off by me are not just those in Xiao Xiezhuang."
After seeing off Xie Zhuang, we welcomed Luo Shaoqiang and his sister.
Looking at the pregnant woman standing next to Luo Shaoqiang, Zhou Xiang smiled sincerely, "Luo Shaoqiang, should I say congratulations?"
Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears. "Zhou Xiang, I, I should have come back earlier. Fortunately, you came back safely, otherwise, I would have felt so guilty."
"Look at what you're saying," Zhou Xiang gently pulled her over and sat her down on the sofa, "the person you should feel guilty towards should be Luo Shaoqiang."
Xiao Xiaoxiao glanced at Luo Shaoqiang, "Humph! He actually took advantage of your disappearance to trick me into coming here."
Luo Shaoqiang touched his nose and said nothing.
Seeing that these were all women's affairs, Ling Ran stood up and told his wife that he was going to the county to deal with the matter.
Zhou figured out that he was going to see if the imprisoned person was a clone.
Xia Fei, who came with his wife and children, also got up and left. He had to go to work.
Luo Shaoqiang saw that there was nothing for him to do, so he got up and left. He didn't want to chat with the women, "I'm going to watch Black Swan."
Xiao Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and go."
Luo Shaoying gently tugged at the little girl in her hand, "Xue'er, call me Aunt Xiangxiang."
The little girl was fair and tender, with big round eyes. She stared at Zhou Xiang for a moment before speaking softly, "Auntie Xiangxiang."
"Hey!" Zhou Xiang responded crisply, patting the empty seat on the other side of his body, "Come, sit with mom."
Luo Shaoying sat down with her daughter in her arms, "Think about me, I know you will come back safely."
"Of course," Zhou Xiang agreed. "How could my life end so easily?"
Just as they were talking for a few minutes, someone else came to Zhou's house.
Zhou Xiang quickly stood up to greet her, "Auntie Dong, no, I should call you Grandma Qing."
Dong Bing laughed and said, "It's up to you to call me Auntie Dong. Calling me Auntie Qing makes things more distant."
A-Lian, who had been sitting quietly, also stood up to welcome her mother in, "Mom."
"Well, where's Jiang Yi?"
"I'm playing with Haohao and the others in the playroom!"
"Then let him play. Don't call him yet. Xiaoxiao and Shaoying are here too."
"Aunt Dong."
"Aunt Dong."
Xiao Xiaoxiao and Luo Shaoying stood up.
"Well, sit down and talk."
Zhou Xiang then realized that Xiao Xiaoxiao also worked in the school's logistics department and was Luo Shaoqiang's subordinate. "Luo Shaoqiang is abusing his power for personal gain!"
Xiao Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "The school is short of staff. I'm an international student after all, but they gave me the job of logistics director for the high school department. It's a bit of a waste of my talent."
"If you think your position is too low, you can exchange it with Luo Shaoqiang. You won't get any other positions."
While we were chatting and laughing, another group of people came over, "Teacher Xiao Zhou!"
"Teacher Xiao Zhou!"
…
They were the group of people who were lured here by Hao Wei and were once Zhou Xiang’s students.
Luo Shaoying took her daughter and Xiao Xiaoxiao to the playroom. Dong Bing also went to the playroom with her daughter A Lian to see her grandson, leaving the living room to the men.
