Old Zhou sighed and said, "It's all our fault for being so incompetent. When we're with the children of officials, we're always inferior to them. We just feel sorry for the children and can't bear to see them suffer."
"Forget it, haven't the children suffered enough grievances with us? Don't think about it so much, just bear with it and it will pass. It's impossible for poor families not to suffer grievances." Zhao Guihua suddenly realized that the Zhou family was in such a situation that it would be difficult to live without having to depend on others.
Like running a tavern, weren't my sister and brother-in-law doing menial, bowing and scraping work?
Be content. Look at Mo Tianzhu's family. Isn't that even worse? Not only are they slaves, but they were bought into slavery by poor people like them. If Mo Tianzhu gets carried away and can't see the light, the whole family could just hang themselves and go see the King of Hell.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad. We won't let anyone bully us. This is Yegou Village, our own village. My fourth brother and I will protect our brothers and sisters. No one can bully us."
Zhou Erfu has grown taller recently, his muscles are more defined, and he's stronger. He exudes an aura of power and has an expression that says, "I'm the best in the whole village, and nobody dares to call me second."
Of course, the result of his saying that was that he was caught by his parents and given a lecture again.
With mixed feelings of anxiety and trepidation, Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua went to the Song residence the next day with Xingxing, Ruru and their brothers. They didn't need to go home for lunch, as the Song residence provided lunch.
The first two days passed peacefully. It seemed that the children got along well with Tie Qingfeng and Song Jiao. They listened to the teacher's lectures together in the morning and learned kung fu from Zheng Yue in the afternoon.
Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua gradually relaxed and stopped being nervous about the matter. Zhou Laoda once again followed the officials and their men into the deep mountains to collect herbs, while Zhao Guihua led Mo Tianzhu's family to continue clearing the land.
That day, Tie Qingfeng played a piece of music that amazed all the children. He could not only play the piano, but also the flute and write poetry. His teacher had praised his poems several times for being very inspired, and said he was a young man with excellent literary talent.
Song Jiao can also paint and recite poetry, and she has the demeanor of a well-bred lady.
"Xingxing and Ruru, what can you draw? Why don't you make a painting today?" Song Jiao invited with a smile.
"I don't want to draw." Xingxing didn't want to admit that her drawing was ugly, and she didn't want to be outdone by Song Jiao.
"Ruru doesn't want to draw either." Ruru's drawing skills aren't very good either. This Song Jiao is so annoying! She actually wants to embarrass her and Xingxing. She's so insidious. Is she finally going to make a move against them?
Actually, Song Jiao didn't mean any harm; she was just mentioning it casually. When she was in the Song family, she and her cousins all got along like this. Everyone could paint, so it wasn't difficult.
But Xingxing and Ruru both refused her with sour faces. She felt humiliated and annoyed, so she said in a somewhat sharp tone, "Can't you draw? Why are you afraid to draw?"
