After Ning Huan finished teaching the villagers to identify medicinal herbs, she went to the village chief and told him, feeling very aggrieved, what had just happened.
The village chief was also very angry and said, "These people are simply outrageous. It's good this way, so they won't cause any more trouble for you and Jing'an."
And so, the village chief promised to tell everyone that Ning Huan would no longer treat patients. He also chased away any outsiders who came looking for Ning Huan.
Many villagers, upon hearing this news, felt intense hatred towards the outsiders who had come to cause trouble.
Originally, Jing'an's wife could treat everyone's illnesses when she had nothing to do, but now she's so angry that she refuses to see a doctor anymore, which has delayed their treatment as well.
After Ning Huan returned home from the village chief's place, she saw Yao Shi walking in from outside as soon as she entered the house.
Ning Huan frowned. Logically speaking, Yao Shi shouldn't have the energy to come over at this time.
Seeing Ning Huan looking her up and down, Yao said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me like that? Your mother-in-law is coming, don't you know to greet her?"
Ning Huan ignored her and walked straight into the house.
Yao was about to burst into a tirade, but remembering the purpose of her visit, she held back.
Zhou Jing'an was lying in bed when he heard Ning Huan's voice from the courtyard asking, "Who came over? What happened?"
Before Ning Huan could speak, Yao Shi came in from the courtyard crying, "My son, you're all I can rely on. From now on, I'll stay with you!"
Then, she saw Yao Shi walking in while wiping away tears. When Ning Huan heard Yao Shi's words, she immediately knew why she had come. She didn't say anything and just stood silently to the side watching Yao Shi.
The four little ones panicked when they heard Yao's voice. If their grandma stayed at their house, would they ever get a good night's sleep again?
Moreover, Grandma is always getting angry with Mom. What if Mom gets really angry and treats them like before? They don't want that!
Thinking of this, the four little ones quickly said, "Grandma, don't you live with Grandpa and the others? Why are you coming to live with us?"
"Besides, aren't you closest to your uncle? You should go to your uncle and aunt."
"Grandma doesn't like our family, so why did she decide to come and live with us?"
"Could it be that Grandma had nowhere else to go, so she thought of coming to our house?"
Hearing this, Yao would have already started cursing before, but after arguing with Zhou Dashan and Liu Feng for the past few days, she had no energy left.
But his eyes were still glaring fiercely at the four little dumplings, as if he wanted to devour them alive. The little dumplings were so frightened that they dared not speak.
But when they saw their father and mother beside them, they were no longer afraid. They were in their own home, with their father and mother protecting them, so they weren't afraid of their grandmother.
Madam Yao cried to Zhou Jing'an, "Third son, your mother can only count on you! From now on, your mother will stay with you."
Zhou Jing'an calmly raised his eyes to look at Yao Shi, his tone as if he had expected this all along: "What, Mother, do you intend to just let the cuckoo take over the nest like this?"
Upon hearing this, Yao's expression immediately changed. In the past, she would have definitely cursed Zhou Jing'an for deliberately cursing her, but now, because of Zhou Dashan and Liu Feng's affair, she already hated Zhou Dashan to the core.
She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "That bastard of a father of yours, let him live with that bitch Liu Feng. I'll see how much trouble those two can cause!"
"That bitch Liu Feng thinks she can run wild in the Zhou family just because she's got Zhou Dashan's heart? Bah! She really thinks she can enjoy a good life in the future? She'll have to rely on my son for everything."
Then, with a smug look on her face, she said, "No matter how much I try to please Zhou Dashan, he's still my own son. Of course, it's me, his biological mother, who should live a good life."
Hearing Yao's words, Zhou Jing'an's mocking smile became even more pronounced. This Yao was still plotting against him, afraid that Liu Feng, this woman, would covet his son's good fortune.
But it seems that Madam Yao has forgotten how she treated her family before, and now she suddenly remembers her son.
Before Zhou Jing'an could speak, Zhou Dasheng and Zhou Yan's voices came from outside the door.
Zhou Dasheng hurriedly walked in from outside. Upon seeing Yao Shi, he rushed forward and tried to pull her away, saying, "Mother, what brings you here? Come home with me."
Zhou Yan followed behind and asked, "That's right, Mother, let's go home together. It's so much better to stay at home."
When Yao saw Zhou Dasheng, she was furious. She pointed at his nose and yelled, "Get out of here! I'm not going home. I'm staying here. That bitch Liu Feng shouldn't even think about getting a single thing out of my son."
"And you all, you treat me like this now, but when my third son becomes successful and a high-ranking official, you'll get me a big house to live in. As for you, just wait and see what happens!"
Upon hearing Yao's words, Zhou Dasheng instinctively looked at Zhou Jing'an, his eyes filled with embarrassment.
These past few days at home, Liu Feng has been using her delicate, pitiful appearance to deceive the two men in the Zhou family. As a result, when Yao Shi dislikes her, not only Zhou Dashan, but even her own son Zhou Dasheng speaks up for Liu Feng.
Zhou Yan glared at Zhou Dasheng and then comforted Yao Shi, saying, "Mother, don't be angry. We still have to go home, otherwise that bitch will get her way."
But Yao shook her head: "No, I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay here with my son."
Zhou Dasheng and Zhou Yan exchanged a glance. In fact, if Yao could stay at Zhou Jing'an's house, things would indeed be quiet for a while. The two of them tentatively looked at Zhou Jing'an.
But Zhou Jing'an's gaze toward the two of them was cold and terrifying, as if he was about to kick them out at any moment. Zhou Dasheng glanced at Yao Shi, then at Zhou Jing'an.
Thinking to himself that Yao had actually come to Zhou Jing'an for support, it didn't seem like he was someone who could be allowed to stay here. Even if she did stay, it didn't seem like he would be treated well, let alone enjoy any comforts.
He said to Yao, "Mother, why don't you come home with me? Let's go home."
To everyone's surprise, Madam Yao was unmoved and snorted coldly, saying, "I'm not going back with you. Aren't you all siding with that bitch Liu Feng? Go back and find her!"
“I’m not going anywhere, I’m just staying with my son.”
As she spoke, she even leaned closer to Zhou Jing'an, then proudly raised her face, pointing her chin at Zhou Dasheng and Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan didn't know what to say at this point. How could her mother not tell the difference between a good face and a bad face?
