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...
Zhoujia Village is already the most united and prosperous village among the more than ten villages in that area. This is because several nearby villages went to Zhoujia Village together to discuss plans for common prosperity, learned from Zhoujia Village, and planted flowers and watermelons together to develop the economy.
In addition, on the outskirts of Zhoujia Village, at the edge of the sea of flowers, Xiajia Village’s land was used and several other villages contributed funds to build a farmers’ market. The ownership of the farmers’ market belongs to Zhoujia Village as compensation for providing seeds to Zhoujia Village every year.
Zhou Xiang agreed to all of these, but there were additional conditions: the seeds would be provided for a period of 10 years, and after 10 years, he would have to pay for the purchase. Zhou Xiang could not guarantee that his space would exist forever, nor could he guarantee that the space would not malfunction.
The visitor from Zhoujia Village was his third cousin Zhou Yidonggang. Zhou Wang drove him here and when he arrived he hurriedly asked if there was any news about Zhou Niao.
"Who told you?" Zhou Xiang didn't know that the news spread so quickly?
"There are married women from the market town in Zhoujia Village." Zhou Wang explained.
Zhou Xiang could only repeat the reason she had said a thousand times, "Gao Shan is missing, and they're still searching over there. The accompanying bodyguard just missed him and he disappeared. They're very close to the cliff, and they're searching at the bottom right now."
After pacifying Third Uncle and Zhou Wang, Jiang Weizhong ran over again. Zhou Xiang frowned, "What's wrong?"
"After hearing the news about Niao Niao, your grandmother fainted, but soon woke up again. She insisted on coming to see you. I asked Guizhen to comfort her, and then I ran to call you."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
What a mess! Zhou Xiang felt her temples throbbing, and quickly drank a few sips of Peiyuan Liquid. She and Ling Ran often drank Peiyuan Liquid as if it were water. No, it should be said that she drank Peiyuan Liquid as if it were water. Maybe it was because Xianxian had fed her too much in the past, and now if she didn't drink it as if it were water, it wouldn't work.
Seeing how genuinely worried Old Lady Liu was, Zhou Xiang felt relieved. "My eldest brother is just missing, why are you so anxious? You can't cause trouble right now."
Seeing Zhou Xiang's calm appearance, Old Lady Liu felt relieved. "Your eldest brother will be fine, right?"
"Yes! I'm here! How could anything happen?" Zhou Xiang blinked hard at Old Lady Liu.
Old Lady Liu was relieved. "Oh! When I heard that, my heart suddenly felt blocked. I didn't feel it myself. Wei Zhong said I fainted for a few seconds..."
Before Old Lady Liu could finish her words, Zhou Xiang had a small medicine bottle in her hand, ready to feed her. Old Lady Liu raised her bony hand and waved, "Don't waste it. I'm just dragging my days out. I know I'm not sick, I'm just old. I won't regret it when I die, including now. I know you will find Niao Niao back, and that's enough to make me feel at ease."
Liu Jingmin nudged her seven-year-old brother, signaling him to take the bottle of medicine.
Jiang Zhaoyu turned around and glared at his sister. He didn't like this sister who only knew how to stir up trouble all day long.
Seeing that her brother was unwilling to step forward, Liu Jingmin spoke up herself: "Xiang Xiang, if grandma doesn't need this, you can give it to my parents and brother."
Zhou Xiang turned around and looked coldly at the 19-year-old girl. "Liu Jingmin, I told you not to try to get close to me. No matter how affectionately you call me 'Dad', I still won't acknowledge you as a relative because I simply don't want to acknowledge Jiang Weizhong. This fact is known to everyone, but it's not made public. Are you trying to force me to announce it directly?"
When Zhou wanted to speak, Liu Jingmin's mouth was covered by Liu Guizhen. At this time, she could only whimper in resistance.
Seeing the dissatisfaction in her eyes, Zhou Xiang simply took out two more vials of medicine. She opened them one by one and handed them to Jiang Weizhong and Jiang Zhaoyu, motioning them to drink them. She then handed the last one to Lu Jing who had followed her, "Lu Jing, give it to Liu Guizhen."
After seeing the three people drink the liquid medicine, Zhou Xiang took back the three medicine bottles and waved to Liu Guizhen, "Let her go!"
"Now that your three relatives have all drunk it, there's no excuse or reason to use this multi-million dollar a bottle of medicine on me, right? You're such a kindhearted girl, you must be sincerely hoping for your family's health and everything to go smoothly, right?
I've fulfilled your wish, so don't thank me too much. This medicine only works once. Next time, you must find a good excuse that will definitely work. Otherwise, if you keep doing it over and over again, you'll only end up feeling embarrassed.
Liu Jingmin's face was red, almost turning purple. How could she possibly be grateful? What she wanted was the liquid medicine, the liquid medicine, the liquid medicine. With one, she could go anywhere. Zhou Xiang had clearly planned to give this precious liquid medicine to the dying old woman, so why couldn't she just give her one?
She could easily take out three of them, and it looked like she still had quite a few in her hand. A little bit of it would be enough for her to live on for the rest of her life. Why couldn't they help her? Her mother had given birth to a boy for the Jiang family, otherwise, Jiang Weizhong would have died alone.
Zhou Xiang looked at her coldly again, "Put your own identity in perspective, don't think about things you shouldn't think about. It's your mother who has made contributions to this family, and you are just a burden. But if your mother hadn't married into this family, it's still unknown whether she could have raised you in the past nine years.
So, her contribution is not that great, because the burden she brought with her cost a lot of money. Don't think that you can steal money from the counter downstairs every day without anyone knowing. If you don't want others to know, you had better not do it and leave yourself a way out. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. I don't recognize Jiang Wei Zhong, but it doesn't mean that others can bully him. Do you understand?
"Liu Jingmin, don't give me a reason to kick you and your mother out of this house. With money, you can find any woman. Do you really think Jiang Weizhong must have you as his mother? That's my business that I don't want to care about, because he has his mother to take care of him. In the future, when his parents are gone, he will be the one I protect. Has anyone on this street bullied him once? Because everyone knows that just because I don't recognize him, it doesn't mean I won't protect him, understand?"
Jiang Zhaoyu hugged Zhou Xiang's thighs, tears streaming down his face, "Think about my cousin, think about my cousin, you're protecting me too, aren't you?"
"You're crying so ugly," Zhou Xiang looked down at the leg pendant, "I'll protect you only if you're good. If you dare to do whatever you want in my name, I'll be the first one to not forgive you."
"Of course not, I'm a good boy!"
Zhou Xiang dragged him away with disgust and pushed him to Jiang Weizhong, "Go wash it, it's really dirty."
Jiang Wei Zhong hugged his son and cried with tears in his eyes. They finally got Zhou Xiang's recognition and they were no longer anxious.
Zhou Xiang didn't look at the crying father and son, but looked at Old Lady Liu on the bed, "Are you relieved?"
"Don't worry! Absolutely don't worry." All the wrinkles on Old Lady Liu's face were wrinkled together with her smile.
Reassuring Old Lady Liu, Zhou Xiang took Lü Jing away. Without even glancing at Liu Guizhen and her daughter, he instructed Lü Jing, "Have someone keep an eye on this area. If anyone dares to take the money again, send them to jail."
"yes!"
