Mother Chu laughed, "This is normal. We didn't know each other before. Even if you married into the Chu family, it was an accident. You are kind-hearted for not harboring resentment and deliberately abusing the third child."

"You are willing to take the initiative now, but do you really accept the third brother?"

turn out to be.

The original owner had always been a little uncomfortable with having a foolish husband, but her kind nature forced her to take responsibility. But Chu's mother was so attentive that she noticed it but didn't say anything and just kept being nice to the original owner.

This is not.

Mother Chu was a little excited at the moment, but she was also afraid that if she pushed too hard, it would backfire.

She was about to change her tune.

Zhou Jiaojiao stared at Chu's mother seriously and said, "Mom, my husband is very important to me. Without him, there would be no me."

"If my husband hadn't come this time, I definitely wouldn't have survived."

Chu's mother was happy at first.

After all, although my son used to be capable, he is stupid now. The reality is that many people look down on fools and are even more unwilling to marry them.

She is still alive and can take care of her son with the old man.

What about when they get old?

What should I do with the third child?

Although Zhou Jiaojiao is weak.

But she is smart. As long as the third child has someone like this to protect him, at least he won't be bullied.

She was satisfied with that.

As for taking care of wife and children.

Isn't this what the third brother should do?

But as she listened, Chu's mother realized something was wrong.

"Jiaojiao, did something happen to you during the time you were missing?" Mother Chu asked with a frown.

Zhou Jiaojiao looked around cautiously and found that the Zhao family was not in the same cave as the Chu family. She lowered her voice and said, "Mom, there is some trouble."

"I didn't get lost accidentally. Zhou Mianmian arranged for someone to kidnap me. She wanted to kill me."

"What?" Mother Chu was shocked.

At the same time, she hurriedly checked her body to make sure she was not injured. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Didn't Zhou Mianmian leave?"

"She was probably in the county town or the provincial capital before, but this time she must have really left. The disaster is serious, and if she doesn't leave, she will probably be left here. She obviously values ​​her life more than framing me." Zhou Jiaojiao said in a rational tone.

"But she left some spies in the village, I don't know who they are."

Although Zhou Jiaojiao didn't think the village's spies would have the chance to pass the news on.

But if the other party is standing in the dark.

It's also a hassle.

"Zhou Mianmian's informant..." Mother Chu's eyebrows jumped, and she also realized the key point of this matter. She touched her lips and said thoughtfully: "I'll check it out."

Zhou Jiaojiao looked at her in surprise.

Mother Chu saw her expression and realized what she was thinking. She smiled and explained, "You've only been in the village for half a year, so you don't know the village connections. Although Daliu Village has a variety of surnames, they are all native to the village for at least three generations. The only outsiders this year are the daughters-in-law who married in."

"Besides that, there are people who are close to Zhou Mianmian. Apart from the Zhou family, there are only a few girls of the same age who I usually interact with."

"If I talk to these people one by one, I can always filter out some of them."

"Even if you can't notice it right away, if you observe it more carefully, you'll eventually see the clues."

"I'll ask your eldest brother and the others to help keep an eye on us. Your eldest brother and his wife don't like to talk, and the villagers don't pay much attention to them, so they are the perfect people to keep an eye on."

Zhou Jiaojiao was in a complicated mood, "Mom, thank you so much."

Logically speaking.

Mother Chu doesn't need to take it so seriously.

Zhou Jiaojiao didn't want to tell Chu's mother about Shen Lin's affairs, as she didn't want to trouble her.

Chu's mother was more perceptive than she thought.

"Jiaojiao, what else is there?"

"I..." Zhou Jiaojiao felt that she had to tell it out loud, otherwise the Chu family would suffer. "Actually, Chen Lin was with Zhou Mianmian at the time."

"Chen Lin, the wife of the third son of the Zhao family?" When Mother Chu heard this, her impression of Chen Lin was completely overturned.

"Why is she there?"

"She has a good relationship with Zhou Mianmian, and she wanted my jade pendant. My jade pendant was taken away by her." Zhou Jiaojiao would not help Chen Lin cover up her actions.

"I pretended to be unconscious and tricked the other party."

Zhou Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said, "I'm not sure if she wanted to kill me, but it's a fact that she didn't help me."

"But she didn't want to save me, and I had nothing to say, but she took my jade pendant, and I want it back."

Mother Chu was so angry that she fell backwards.

The series of news made her feel that she really looked so easy to bully.

Zhou Jiaojiao is her daughter-in-law.

Isn't bullying Zhou Jiaojiao just looking down on her?

"We're all from the same village, how can you just take someone else's valuables? That's so uneducated. No, I have to go get it back."

"Mom, the other party is a little weird." Zhou Jiaojiao didn't want to harm Chu's mother.

She said cautiously, "I saw her put the jade pendant in her hand, and then it disappeared. If you go and get it now, maybe she can hide it somewhere we can't find it."

Zhou Jiaojiao found it a bit tricky.

"Besides, if she knew that I knew of her existence at the time, would she be anxious and do something harmful to me?"

"How about this, we spread the news to the outside world, like this..." Zhou Jiaojiao whispered in Chu's mother's ear.

Chu's mother's eyes lit up and she thought this was a good idea.

"I'll go spread the word."

Chu's mother did what she said.

She took the few pounds of smoked meat that Zhou Jiaojiao had given her, cut it into small pieces, and went to find familiar villagers to exchange for mung beans and medicinal herbs.

Mung beans can relieve heat.

But not as good as meat.

Many families are happy to change.

After all, we rarely eat meat throughout the year.

We are escaping now, even if we die, we should at least enjoy ourselves once.

There are all kinds of ideas.

Chu's mother got the medicine changed smoothly, and finally asked Dr. Lin, a barefoot doctor in the village, to change some medicine to preserve the pregnancy.

By the way, I asked Dr. Lin if there would be any problems if he had close contact with tuberculosis patients.

"Tuberculosis patient?" Doctor Lin was a little worried. "I need to check to confirm."

"Okay, no problem."

"I'll also call the village chief." Doctor Lin hesitated, but still took the initiative to explain to Chu's mother, "If we really get infected, no one will be willing to go together again."

"I understand. We must ask the village chief to be a witness." Mother Chu nodded in agreement. She thought, since it was all fake anyway, the village chief could still clear the suspicion of Zhou Jiaojiao being infected and avoid being caught and slandered. Of course, she also didn't want to cause panic among the villagers. After all, it was her who caused it.

Mother Chu sighed and said, "Actually, my third daughter-in-law doesn't know whether that man really has tuberculosis or not. She just saw him coughing non-stop. Anyway, the jade pendant was snatched away by that man."

"My third son's wife fainted while trying to protect the baby in her belly, and then the jade pendant disappeared."

"It's okay even though the jade pendant is gone. At least my life is saved."
