Niu Laosi had always been responsible for taking care of the cows, and usually he would ride the ox cart to take people to the county town.
"She also said that when Zhou Nier woke up last night, she felt the quilt was wet. She thought the baby had urinated, so she changed the baby's diaper in the dark and moved the baby to her side. As a result, when she woke up in the morning, the bed was covered in blood!" Chen Guihua's words were mysterious.
Tian Tian's first reaction after hearing this was disbelief. Maybe Zhou Ni's husband just had bad lungs and was prone to coughing. Maybe he coughed a lot last night and coughed up some blood. If these people who knew a little bit of the inside story passed it on to others and now it got to Chen Guihua, who knows how much exaggeration it would have.
As a result, what Chen Guihua said was confirmed the next day. Although it was not as exaggerated as she said, Zhou Nier's boyfriend did die of coughing up blood in the middle of the night. He coughed up a lot of blood, which scared Zhou Nier to death the next day.
"How could someone suddenly disappear?" Lin Meiyu asked.
"I told you what I said was true, but you didn't believe me yesterday." Chen Guihua said a little aggrieved.
This morning Chu Yan came over and told Zhou Ni'er's mother the news that Zhou Ni'er's boyfriend had passed away.
When the villagers saw Chu Yan coming back, they thought he was going to Wang's house. When they saw him walking towards Zhou's house, and there was no farm work to do, everyone was very free, so they followed him out of curiosity. As a result, they learned about Zhou Ni'er from Chu Yan.
Zhou Nier's mother had a dazed expression on her face, and it was hard to tell how she reacted to this matter.
Instead, Zhou Ni's brother ran over and hugged her mother's thighs, "Mom! Is my brother-in-law gone? Then can my sister come back?"
"Your sister has already married someone else, and she belongs to him. Although your brother-in-law is gone, your sister has a child and she won't come back." Zhou Nier's mother said coldly.
She has no feelings for her stepdaughter, and doesn't think anything will happen after her husband dies. Isn't that how she got through it too?
Her husband died just a few months after she married into the Zhou family. She was pregnant with a child. Although her stepdaughter was older, she couldn't do much work, so she had to rely on herself to survive.
She had to give birth to a baby, breastfeed the baby, and work in the fields. She went to work without even taking a rest after giving birth.
Although Zhou Nier didn't treat her well, she also gave Zhou Nier food to eat and helped Zhou Nier grow up. She felt that she didn't owe Zhou Nier anything.
As for letting Zhou Nier work, who wouldn't let a child work? Even her own child had to work.
To be honest, she didn't have many feelings for Zhou Nier, and didn't want to care about her. It was Zhou Nier who insisted on marrying this man.
She told Zhou Nier that she would find a good family for her.
But Zhou Nier didn't believe it. She firmly believed that she could only live a good life in the city.
Seeing that Zhou Nier thought so, she didn't care.
"When will it be done?" Zhou Ni's mother said coldly.
At least Zhou Nier now has an old lady to help her, and she can also inherit the Zhou family's job, with a salary and food, which is much easier than her life before.
"Mom! I want to see my sister!" said little brother Zhou, hugging his mother's thighs.
"Be good! Your sister is busy at home, so we won't disturb them."
Little brother Zhou pouted a little unhappily. He had forgotten what his sister looked like and her sister had not been back for a long time.
Chu Yan sighed when he saw the mother and son like this, but he couldn't help but say a few more words, "Aunt, why don't you go see Sister Zhou Nier? She's not feeling well at home now."
How could it be bad? Her husband suddenly died after they got married. No matter what her old wife thought, she would definitely blame it all on Zhou Nier.
Chu Yan lived in the same yard with Zhou Nier, so any noise in her house could be heard by Chu Yan and his family. Their house had been noisy since yesterday morning, with Zhou Nier's old lady pulling the hemp rope against her and the children crying. I guess people on that street could hear the noise.
Zhou Nier's mother looked up and stared at him coldly, without any reaction to what Chu Yan said, "She is not doing well, what do you want me to do? I am the only woman in my family and I have a little son, what do you want me to do? What can I do?"
The Zhou family was a later family in their brigade. They had no relatives, only the Zhou family. After old man Zhou passed away, there was no one left in the Zhou family except younger brother Zhou and Zhou Nier.
Although she has a maternal home, it is too far away from here, and it is impossible for her brother and younger brother to come here specifically to support Zhou Nier for the sake of a stepdaughter.
Zhou Nier had never mentioned going back to her parents' home with her during the Chinese New Year. After they got married, except for the day of returning home, Zhou Nier had never mentioned coming back. Even her husband did not come over every few days like Chu Yan did.
It can also be said that the reason why the two of them are strangers now is that they both have their own reasons.
Zhou Nier was naturally prejudiced against her because she was a stepmother.
She was a virgin at the time, and she married a man with a child. She didn't know how to treat Zhou Ni'er. Later, she thought it would be fine to just leave it as it is.
Chu Yan was choked for a moment. He wanted to say that no matter what he could do, he should at least go and support Zhou Nier.
Zhou Nier's mother really didn't have any feelings for Zhou Nier. She thought about it and realized that it wasn't easy for a woman, so she said to Chu Yan, "Even if she gets married, she is still the daughter of the Zhou family and the elder sister of Brother Zhou. If she wants to come back, she can. I haven't moved the house where she lived when she was a girl."
Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, said hello to them, turned around and rode his bike back.
He didn't have time to visit his mother-in-law and father-in-law's homes, so he could only say hello to his father-in-law who was rushing over on the road, and then rode his bike back.
After Wang Yaner gave birth and finished her confinement, he took care of the child. Wang Yaner went to work as usual. Today, Zhou Ni came to ask for help. It was not easy for him to stay at home alone. Just as Zhou Ni asked him to come to the brigade to report the news, he came out.
Wang Yaner had no choice but to take leave and stay at home to take care of the child.
Chu Yan put all the children's things at home, and he was worried that Wang Yaner didn't know where they were.
When Chu Yan hurriedly rode his bicycle home, he heard the crying of children coming from his house as soon as he entered the yard. Aunt Gao next door, whose son had just died, was rolling around in front of his house, swearing and crying.
"Aunt Gao, what are you doing? Is there something you covet at the door of my house? I told you to make noise here, but my wife and daughter are still inside, so don't wake them up." Chu Yan's lazy voice sounded behind Aunt Gao.
Aunt Gao's voice stopped abruptly. She turned around and saw Chu Yan. Suddenly, sweat broke out on her forehead. She stammered, "Who quarreled with your wife? My daughter-in-law and grandson are at your house. I came to find my daughter-in-law."
