"Isn't there a saying that goes: A strong woman is afraid of a clinging man? I'm afraid that's what he's planning. So, you have to be careful. If all else fails, just shout 'Catch the hooligan.' Catch him a few times and see if he still has any shame."

Zhou Yu was a little hesitant, "Then, will the dog jump over the wall when it's desperate?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head, "I don't know, you should bring a knife for self-defense."

"I don't dare." Zhou Yu was scared again.

Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes at her helplessly, "I don't want to bother with you. It's your business anyway. I've given you some advice, so just do whatever you want!"

Zhou wanted to go back to his room and lie down. It was too brain-burning and he wanted to take a break.

If the red thread cannot be cut even after this, it means that there are no counterfeit or inferior products in heaven, and Yue Lao is too serious about his work.

Ten days passed quickly. On this day, the second sister was resting and took the eldest brother to set up a stall during the market day.

There is a market in the town every 35 days, 80 days or so. My second sister has a five-day break, so she can often catch the market.

Not long after, Zhou Niao came back, "Why don't you help watch the stall today?"

Zhou Niao said angrily: "Big sister asked you to help, that Zhang Lian is also here."

"I'm not going. I don't have time to take care of her business. When you go back to help, just tell her what I said: either solve it yourself or don't set up the stall anymore."

"Oh." Zhou Niao left again.

Zhou Xiang picked up his electrical appliance repair book. There were still many books in the space that needed to be studied. He had no time to take care of these things. If an eighteen-year-old couldn't do it, what could a ten-year-old child like me do?

Zhou Xiang shamelessly classified himself as a child. Even if his soul is several dozen years old, his body is still ten years old.

At half past ten, Zhou Xiang put away the book in his hand and started washing rice.

Zhou Yu brought Zhou Niao back after packing up their stall, followed by Zhang Lian.

Zhou Yu threw down what he was holding and went straight into the kitchen.

"Why don't you go?"

Looking at his second sister who was accusing him of something, Zhou Xiang said in a very cold tone, "Handle your own affairs. You are an eighteen-year-old adult. Why do you come to me, a ten-year-old child, when you have problems? Do I owe you?"

The cold tone made Zhou Yu feel as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. He had been doing well in both work and business recently, and he felt a little proud of himself. He even dared to yell at his sister.

If my father knew that my affairs had delayed my sister's time, he would probably immediately agree to the Zhang family and marry me to avoid causing trouble for my sister.

"Haha, I'm a little impatient. Sorry, sister, don't be angry. I can handle it myself. I'll go buy a knife this afternoon. If I can't drive it away, I'll use the knife."

"Don't tell me, it has nothing to do with me. I helped you with your work and your business. You should be content."

Putting down the rice washing basket in his hand, he said, "I'm going to study."

Zhou Yu nodded quickly, "Okay, go study! I'll cook."

Seeing Zhang Lian in the yard, Zhou Xiang greeted him lightly, "Brother Zhang is here?"

"Yes! It's market day today, let's go to the market."

Zhou Xiang nodded. This excuse was too careless. Liu Town and Xu Town had the same market day. Why didn't he go to the nearby market and go to the distant market?

"Then you take a seat! I'm going to study outside."

Zhang Lian stared at Zhou Xiang's back. Why was she so cold this time? Did she know his intentions? Did she not want him to be her brother-in-law?

However, how much say can a little girl have at home? The right thing to do is to deal with Zhou Yu and Aunt Jiang.

When Zhou's mother came home from get off work and saw Zhang Lian, her brows furrowed. Her little girl was right.

"Is Aunt Jiang off work?"

"Yeah! Why are you here today?"

"I'm going to the market now that I'm free at home."

"Oh, okay, I'll go wash my hands first. They're covered in fertilizer."

Another cold one, but Zhang Lian not only did not back down, but was aroused by his pride.

Isn't it just that I look down on rural people? When I marry Zhou Yu, even if I don't like her, I have to watch her.

Father Zhou forgot the time while playing chess at Guan Bo's place today, and came home later than Mother Zhou. When he saw Zhang Lian, he was quite polite.

"Is Ryan here? Come in and sit down. Lunch should be almost time."

"Yeah! I just came out of the pot room, and the food is ready."

At the lunch table, only Zhang Lian and Zhou's father were chatting, while the other four people were eating quietly.

Zhou's father felt strange, but he didn't dare to ask, especially since his daughter's attitude was too obvious that she didn't welcome today's guest.

He wanted to ask the little girl after dinner, but after dinner, Zhang Lian was reluctant to leave, so Zhou Yu went straight into the south room, closed the door and went to sleep.

Zhou Niao didn't have time to get the toy because the eldest sister closed the south door, not her door.

After hesitating for a while, and seeing that Zhou Yu really didn't open the door, he said goodbye and left.

Father Zhou looked at his little girl and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I want to marry your eldest daughter. When Uncle Zhang came that day, my mother said she didn't want to, but I don't think so! There are many benefits to marrying your daughter, so I came to pester you."

Father Zhou looked at his wife and asked, "Did Zhang Jiazhong come to talk about this the other day?"

Mother Zhou nodded.

"Then why is it still entangled?"

Zhou's mother recounted what happened that day, and Zhou's father slammed the table in anger. "You! It would have been better if you had refused clearly. If you come again next time, I will refuse. My daughter is not someone who can marry anyone."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. If you can drive them away, I'll write you a sign of admiration."

"Watch me."

Five days later, my second sister was on her turn to rest, and Zhang Lian came again.

Zhou's father saw it at the market, but didn't say anything. When Zhang Lian followed him back to the Zhou family yard, Zhou's father called him into the main hall.

I don’t know what they said, but after a while, Zhang Lian came out and left pushing his bicycle.

Zhou wanted to ask his father, "Has he agreed to stop pestering me?"

Zhou's father shook his head. "I told him my daughter has a city hukou and needs to find someone from the city who has a formal job. He then said he was going home."

"Haha, Dad, you didn't chase them away because they just wanted to get out of the countryside, and this was a shortcut."

The happy atmosphere of National Day was ruined by Zhang Lian. Zhou Xiang told her second sister not to set up the stall anymore. "They've calculated your rest time accurately. They can catch you at the market without fail."

Zhou Yu shook his head, "No, I can't lose my business because of him. I've already bought a knife, look."

Zhou Xiang looked at the knife that his second sister took out. It was just a small fruit knife, but the big man snatched it away. However, he had said that he would no longer care about his second sister's affairs. Since she was unwilling to give up the business, let her do as she pleased!

When the second sister took a day off to set up the stall, Zhang Lian did not come home, but he went to the stall to help.

Zhou Xiang listened to her tone and asked, "Have you softened?"

"No, but he didn't say anything excessive, nor did he do anything excessive. Is it appropriate for me to chase him off in the street?"

"That's his genius. You can't refuse him. Over time, others will think he's your significant other. You won't be able to argue, so maybe you'll just accept him."

Zhou Yu shouted in frustration: "Oh! This is so annoying!"
