Li Chunmei ran away, and now everyone at the banquet was "advising" Chen Suwen that she was being too petty.
Although they didn't necessarily like Li Chunmei that much, they weren't particularly close to Chen Suwen, who rarely returned to Hongping Brigade.
However, the only problem is that Chen Su asked her that there are many successful people in her family, and no one really wants to offend her.
"If you ask me, Cunzhi's mom, you shouldn't have said you wanted to raise that jinx."
"He caused his mother's death right after he was born, and then his father's death within two years. Why would you raise such an unlucky child?"
"That's right. If you want to raise a boy, our Zhou family has other boys we can raise."
"Look at my son, isn't he so handsome? He's also obedient and sensible. If you want to raise a boy, our son would be perfect."
Although they cherish their grandsons, sometimes when they have too many grandsons, they don't cherish them as much anymore.
Moreover, it's not a bad thing to let Chen Suwen raise your grandson.
This is a great honor—to go to the city and enjoy a life of luxury, to become the child of a worker's family!
They would much rather their own grandson be "selected" than let Zhou Mingye, that "bad luck charm," get the prize.
They didn't really think this little brat was a jinx.
His mother died when he was born. Everyone knows it was because she didn't take good care of herself during her pregnancy, which caused her to bleed heavily right after giving birth.
Zhou Mingye's mother had a difficult childbirth, but she was not taken to the health center, the commune, or the county hospital; she gave birth at home.
It took a whole day and night for him to be born, but he survived while his mother died.
Everyone knew perfectly well that the story of him causing his own mother's death was exaggerated and was probably spread deliberately by Li Chunmei and her ilk.
But basically everyone felt it was none of their business, since they weren't the ones who harmed Zhou Mingye's mother, so they were too lazy to explain anything.
Later, when Zhou Mingye's father also got into trouble, people started to think that he was a jinx who brought misfortune to both his parents.
But if he really is a jinx, why doesn't he bring death to his grandparents, uncles and aunts who treated him badly, and his cousins who bullied him?
The people who bullied him are still alive and well, while his parents, who loved him so much, are gone. This jinx is so hypocritical.
Why can't he die because it's bad for him?
But as mentioned before, it's none of my business, so I can't be bothered to care whether he really is a jinx or not.
But to say that they would simply stand by and watch someone die is an overreaction; the villagers aren't that cold-blooded.
If it weren't for the fact that the villagers still had some conscience, and that he would have starved to death or frozen to death in the winter when his grandparents and their group treated him badly.
But there's a certain quality in people: they'll show some kindness if they sympathize with you when you're not doing well, but if you're doing too well, they'll become envious and jealous.
Therefore, the group of people who offered their grandsons to Chen Suwen hoped to dissuade her from adopting Zhou Mingye and instead adopt their grandson instead.
If they can make their grandson a city dweller, then after he's raised by someone else, they can still go and beg for his money.
Tell him that the kindness of raising and giving birth is just as important.
He also needs to be filial to his biological parents who gave birth to him and raised him for several years, as well as his biological grandparents.
Chen Suwen ignored them, while Zhou Qingyun smiled and blocked the others from bothering her.
“We wanted to adopt Xiao Ye because we felt a connection with him, and also because he lost his parents, so we thought we could adopt him.”
"As for your children, aren't their parents still alive? What? You can't afford to raise so many children?"
Zhou Qingyun wore a warm smile, but his words were anything but pleasant.
"If you can't afford to raise so many children, then don't have them. What's the point of constantly begging for a son if you can't afford to raise them?"
"You should raise your own children. You should feed them, clothe them, and when they grow up, you should pay for their houses and help them get married."
"You'll have to worry about these things yourselves. Suwen and I don't need to worry about them for you."
Zhou Qingyun's appearance made everyone's teeth itch, but no one dared to talk back to him.
One reason is that he was a worker in the city, and it is said that he had become a level eight welder at a young age, earning a very high salary.
I heard that the factory leaders value him highly now because he led the factory staff to make many useful things, which brought in a lot of orders for the factory.
Zhou Qingyun is capable and talented, and no one wants to offend him.
As for Chen Suwen...
She had given her job to her son, Zhou Cunzong, who has now been admitted to university, but she still hasn't gone back to work at the supply and marketing cooperative and remains an unemployed housewife.
So everyone subconsciously looked down on her, subconsciously thinking that she wouldn't dare to contradict them or make things difficult for them.
If Chen Suwen knew what they were thinking, she would definitely curse them to death.
Does Chen Suwen lose her fighting spirit without a job?
When Chen Suwen hits and curses people, it's not because she doesn't have a job, but because she's strong enough.
Those people were just bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. They felt that Zhou Qingyun and his group were not to be trifled with, so after he opened his mouth, they dared not speak out and silently shut their mouths.
Chen Suwen frowned as she watched their performance. Did they all think she was an easy target?
"Why does it feel like Mom's fighting power has weakened?" Zhou Cunzong and the others couldn't help but mutter to themselves. Why has Mom's fighting power become so weak?
Where did your former arrogant and fearless attitude go?
