Chapter 114 The relationship was destined to be irreparable in the previous life
When she entered the room, Cui Shufen was telling the story with tears in her eyes. As she listened, Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian looked at each other.
The wives of the brothers Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang each returned to their parents' homes with their children due to the division of the family property. Now a month has passed. During this period, the two brothers also went to pick up their wives and children and take them home, but unfortunately, the wives and children did not come back.
Cui Shufen got angry when she saw this, and said that if they didn't come back, they would never come back.
When Zhou Qiang's wife learned about this, she reluctantly took her child back to her husband's home, but Zhou Gang's wife did not return.
This morning, when Zhou Gang went to fetch water, he heard from his wife's relatives that his wife was going to remarry with her children.
When Zhou Gang learned about this, he hurried back home. Cui Shufen suddenly panicked and hurried to Zhou Yong for help to solve the problem.
Cui Shufen knelt on the ground, tears in her eyes, looking at her eldest son, her heart aching: "Zhou Yong, no matter what, I am your mother."
mom?
This word has long become strange and distant in Zhou Yong's mind.
Zhou Yong's face showed no emotion at all. His words were cold and decisive: "What does your family's affairs have to do with me? You knelt down to the wrong person and cried at the wrong grave."
The disgust in his eyes seemed to tell of the pain and injustice he had endured over the years.
"Zhou Yong, you can't be so heartless. How can you exist without me? No matter how bad I am, I am still your mother."
Cui Shufen's voice trembled, filled with endless sadness and helplessness.
Zhou Yong sneered, and his words were like a sharp knife, piercing his mother's heart: "Heartless? Do you know what heartless means? From childhood to adulthood, what have you given me except pain and hurt? Have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother to me for a single day?"
Cui Shufen's body trembled. She shook her head helplessly, tears falling like beads from a broken string, and she murmured to herself: "Isn't it that I can't help it? After all, I am your mother!!"
Zhou Yong's heart was not shaken at all, his eyes were firm and indifferent: "Mom? You are not worthy of being my mother. It is better to have no mother like you..."
After he finished speaking, Zhou Yong turned and left, leaving Cui Shufen kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face.
He was unable to develop any feelings for this mother, and therefore their relationship had been doomed to be irreparable in a previous life.
Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian looked at each other, and the couple pulled up the crying Cui Shufen.
Li Baotian pursed his lips and left the house. Zhang Guifang glanced at her mother-in-law and felt unlucky.
Cui Shufen ran to Li's house early in the morning, crying and kneeling, which would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
No matter what Zhang Guifang thought, she had to comfort Cui Shufen and send her away.
Cui Shufen wiped her tears and went back, and Zhang Guifang walked towards Li Baotian who was chopping matches.
"Where's Zhou Yong?"
Li Baotian pursed his lips and waved the axe with his right hand: "I'm going to fetch water."
Zhang Guifang heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said with a curled lip: "Cui Shufen is really something, why does she have to act like an old woman? There's nothing wrong with lowering your head, is it okay now? Zhou Gang's wife is going to remarry with the child..."
Zhou Gang's wife took her children back to her parents' home because she had a fight with Cui Shufen. Several days later, Zhou Gang came to visit her.
It would have been fine if he had a nice attitude, but Zhou Gang accused his wife of wrongdoings in front of her family.
Why would Zhou Gang’s wife be willing to come back with her?
When Cui Shufen learned about this, she wanted to ignore her daughter-in-law. A few days later, Zhou Gang went to pick up his wife and children, but his daughter-in-law still did not come back with him.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Cui Shufen doesn't show up, Zhou Gang's wife will be embarrassed to come back.
Cui Shufen saw through this and wanted to control her daughter-in-law, so she deliberately said those words in front of the relatives.
As a result, her words angered Zhou Gang's wife, who then asked her relatives to tell her that she was going to remarry and take the child with her.
Regardless of whether the story was true or not, Cui Shufen couldn't afford the risk, so she wanted Zhou Yong, the team leader of the Huaixi Village production team, to accompany her to Zhou Gang's wife's parents' home. Her purpose was just to use her power to pressure others!
After listening to his wife's nagging, Li Baotian frowned with a hint of impatience and said, "Okay, hurry up and cook!"
Zhang Guifang glared at Li Baotian, muttered to herself, and turned back into the house.
Li Baotian shifted his gaze away from Zhang Guifang, narrowed his eyes, picked up the axe and continued chopping firewood.
After a while, Zhou Yong came back carrying water, and Li Caiyun took him to the west room.
"Are you okay?"
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "I'm fine."
Li Caiyun observed the expression on her man's face: "Don't be upset by yourself, tell me if you are unhappy."
Zhou Yong raised his hand and pinched Li Caiyun's cheek. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
Li Caiyun said "oh", Zhou Yong smiled, turned around and left the west room to continue fetching water.
Zhang Guifang looked at her son-in-law's back and felt very sorry for him.
In fact, Zhang Guifang thought that there was no need to look for Zhou Yong when the Zhou family encountered such a thing.
As long as Cui Shufen is willing to bow her head, this matter can be put to rest. After all, there are two children. How could Zhou Gang's wife remarry just like that?
After listening to her mother's words, Li Caiyun said, "Mom, I thought Auntie was a good person before, but now I feel that she is getting worse and worse."
Zhang Guifang curled her lips and said, "Don't be so ridiculous. At worst, she's your old lady."
Li Caiyun curled her lips and said nothing more. Zhang Guifang wiped the wooden lid of the pot with a rag.
This morning Zhang Huifang steamed mixed flour buns and cooked two-grain porridge, and she heated up some leftover vegetables from last night.
It was just half past five after breakfast. After tidying up the house and having nothing to do inside and outside, Zhou Yong, Li Baotian and Li Caiyun went to the brigade.
Accountant Sun had no objection to Li Caiyun's appointment as a timekeeper, and no one else seemed interested either.
Because the people in power in Huaixi Village are Zhou Yong and Li Baotian, even if someone is dissatisfied with this arrangement, no one would be stupid enough to say anything in front of them.
It took Li Caiyun and Zhou Yong a whole morning to complete the handover work.
"Ask me if you don't understand anything."
Li Caiyun looked at the work record book: "I know, you go and get busy!"
Go busy?
"Look at the time."
Li Caiyun raised her wrist to check the time and saw it was half past eleven. She smiled embarrassedly.
After putting away the work account book, the two of them left the office one after the other.
"Brother Zhou, sister-in-law, are you off work?"
Liu Juan saw the couple and greeted them warmly.
Li Caiyun paused and took over the conversation with a smile. Zhou Yong walked straight forward and said, "We are off work, and you are not done yet?"
Liu Juan talked to Li Caiyun for a few words, and Zhou Yong waited for her at the brigade gate.
It was already past twelve o'clock when they both got home. After dinner, Zhou Yong went to Dongshan for inspection, while Li Caiyun rested at home. She went to the brigade at around one o'clock.
As soon as Li Caiyun entered the brigade yard, she saw Liu Juan sitting at the door of the canteen picking vegetables.
"Juanzi, it's only what time now, why are you already cleaning up the dishes?"
Liu Juan looked at Li Caiyun and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I have nothing to do right now. Prepare the dishes in advance so that you don't have to be busy when the time comes..."
Her job used to be very leisurely, but since the blasting personnel moved into Huaixi Village, Liu Juan has been busy all the time.
Li Caiyun nodded, chatted with Liu Juan for a few words, and then went back to her work...
