Zhou Shitou even came twice after she moved in, just to see if they needed any help.

"Okay." She didn't like going back to Zhoujia Village, but her younger brother was there.

"By the way, Master, I want to take my brother to pay respect to my mother tomorrow, so I want to bring him here to stay for one night, is that ok?"

Her mother was buried quite far away. Because she died a violent death, the Zhou family was afraid of retribution, so they buried her far away, on a hill.

She was unconscious at the time, and when she woke up she didn't even get to see him for the last time, otherwise she wouldn't have hated him so much.

Of course Jiang Nian would not disagree.

She had experience in worshipping the deceased and thoughtfully prepared offerings for her.

Every household in the village was busy worshiping their ancestors, so she hid in the Poison Doctor Valley, just like in previous years.

When she came out, she saw Ye Zhiqiu bringing Zhou An back.

The little face that had been raised to be chubby had become thin again, and the clothes on his body were tattered, with holes at the shoulders revealing the cotton inside, which was black and hard.

Zhou An stood beside Ye Zhiqiu and said obediently, "Hello, Doctor Jiang."

Jiang Nian frowned and asked Ye Zhiqiu, "Didn't you send him some clothes a few days ago?"

It was made from one of her old clothes, so it was definitely much better than the one he was wearing.

Ye Zhiqiu's eyes turned red with anger. "That kid took Xiao An away and beat him up. The beast Zhou Shugen didn't care. After all, that bastard is also his son. He loved him since he was a child. He wished Xiao An would be bullied."

Zhou An's eyes also turned red, and he carefully held her hand, "Sister, don't cry, I'm not cold."

"You should be more prudent. Whether it's cold or not, it's yours. If you don't give it to others, you can't take it away by force." Ye Zhiqiu scolded him and said, "I'm no longer the cowardly Zhou Xiaoju. If you want to take my things, it's impossible. I've torn all their clothes and quilts into pieces. They can't be put together. Let them freeze to death this winter."

She had studied martial arts for such a long time and had developed a little bit of internal strength. Although she could not defeat a few big men, the old, weak and sick people in the Zhou family were no match to her.

Jiang Nian saw her youthful vigor and ignored her.

I'm glad she didn't suffer any loss, otherwise she would be embarrassed to tell others about it.

"You've caused such a serious outbreak of cholera in the Zhou family. This little guy might be implicated when he goes back. Let's find a place for him to stay for a few more days and see what the Zhou family has to say first." Jiang Nian said.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded then. She was actually very nervous on the way back. She was not afraid of anything happening to herself, but she was afraid of causing trouble for her master.

The master said that now that she had a salary, she could send Zhou An to school. Since the school was next door, he could come here to eat at noon and sleep with her at night.

She now feels more and more that the Zhou family is really shameless, and she is also afraid that Zhou An will become like Zhou Shugen in the future.

Even if you don't have a bright future, by studying for a few years and learning more words, at least you can understand some principles and not be blind.

Besides, Zhou An will be nine years old after the Chinese New Year, so he can help with the work after school, so it’s not like he’s eating and drinking for free.

The biggest trouble now is the Zhou family.

Zhou Shugen did nothing, but there were other elders in the Zhou family. It was relatively easy for a girl like her to get away, but Zhou An was a boy, so it would probably take some effort. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
