Chapter 110 Homecoming
Koko didn't say anything, so Manbao looked up and asked Zhou Silang, "Fourth brother, who can't have children?"
Zhou Silang also pursed his lips and said nothing.
Manbao thought, could it be me?
Manbao touched her belly. Sanzhu's wife had a very big belly last year, and her sister-in-law said it was because she was pregnant.
Zhou Silang's face darkened when he saw Yaomei touching her belly. He patted her head and said, "What are you thinking about? You're so young and you're already thinking about having a baby? No one can't have a baby..."
Zhou Silang paused at this point and said, "But you still need to read more books to see if there are any solutions. If a woman cannot have children, is there any medicine to take?"
Manbao said, "Why don't you just ask the doctor?"
Having ready-made talents will definitely be much faster than her starting to learn slowly now, right?
Zhou Silang didn't say anything.
In the end, Manbao still couldn't figure out who was unable to have children. When he returned in the evening, the Zhou family was very lively. Zhou Dalang and his friends bought a lot of New Year's goods, and Zhou Liulang and Zhou Wulang also bought a lot of things with their own money.
In addition to buying cloth and cotton for themselves, the two brothers also gave all their money to buy some cloth for their parents to make clothes.
After all, with Manbao in front of them, they can't be unfilial sons, right?
But even so, Old Zhou didn't treat them very well. He thought they were wasting money, not only buying clothes for him but also for themselves.
Logically speaking, since they are not married, all the money they earn should be turned over to the public.
Old Zhou now felt an even greater sense of urgency, wanting to get more money. Although Qian was also somewhat exhausted, she still said, "These three little ones won't move forward even if you pull them, and even walk backwards when you hit them. You can only get them to move forward by dangling a bunch of grass by their mouths. Before this year, what money could they bring home besides the work in the fields?"
Qian leaned against the pillow and said, "Let them be. After all, they made a lot of money this year. The two younger ones, if you add them up, they're not making less than the older ones."
Old Zhoutou said: "That's because Manbao gave them advice. If it weren't for Manbao's advice, what could they do?"
Old Zhou got angry when he said this, "They are all girls. The smart ones are so smart, and the dumb ones are so dumb."
Manbao was lying on the bed, her consciousness immersed in the system while reading a storybook and listening to her parents' whispers. When she heard this, she quickly exited the system, got up and ran to the inner room, "Dad, Mom, is there something wrong with my eldest sister?"
Old Zhou had a sullen face and said nothing.
Seeing her running around barefoot, Qian quickly pulled her onto the bed and asked with a sigh, "Manbao, is it okay for your sister to come home and live with you?"
Manbao didn't have a deep impression of her eldest sister. She was raised by her eldest sister-in-law since she was a child, but she also knew that her eldest sister would bring her delicious food every time she came home. She was a good person, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
"It's okay to stay here and not leave?"
Manbao scratched his head and said, "This is also my eldest sister's home. She can live here if she wants."
Old Zhou asked, "Where should we live? Should we build a shed for her in the woodshed?"
For the first time, Old Zhou lost his temper with Qian in front of Manbao. "It's not that I don't want her to come back to live here, but the fourth, fifth, and sixth children each only have one room. How can there be enough space for so many people in the family? She can't live with us old couple at her age, can she?"
Then she turned to the bewildered Manbao and said, "Your mother is joking with you. Your eldest sister is married, so why would she come home to live?"
Qian said nothing.
But early the next morning, as soon as Xiao Qian opened the door, she couldn't help but scream, and saw someone squatting outside the door.
She was terrified, and when she looked down, she was even more frightened, "Cousin!"
Thinking it was wrong, he called out again: "Big sister, when did you come back?"
The Zhou family was in chaos because of the accident. Zhou Xi had been squatting outside the door since some time ago. When Xiao Qian went to help her, she was cold all over. Feng and He did not dare to be negligent. They quickly boiled water and made egg water for her.
Qian was furious and started yelling in the main hall, "You didn't even call me when you came back? Who are you standing outside the door for? Are you trying to freeze to death and piss us off? What's wrong with you? Don't you think about it at your age?"
Zhou Xi lowered his head and said nothing.
Manbao was woken up and walked out with her shoes on. She rubbed her eyes and found that the person sitting in the main room was indeed her eldest sister who had just returned home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. She hurried over and grabbed her hand, "Eldest sister, mother said you were going home to live, right?"
This sentence touched Zhou Xi for some reason. She had been keeping her head down and silent, but suddenly she burst into tears. She raised her eyes to look at Manbao, then at her parents, and slid directly from the chair to the ground, kneeling on the ground and crying, "Dad, Mom, their family divorced me, divorced me!"
Old Zhou's face changed drastically. Qian's hands trembled slightly. After a while, she slammed the table and said, "How ridiculous! Are you saying that all of us Zhou family members are dead?"
Old Zhou stood up and asked, "Where's the divorce letter?"
Zhou Xi took out the letter from his bundle with shaking hands. Old Zhou opened it and found that he could not read. He handed the letter to Manbao and said, "Read it."
Manbao had no idea what was going on. He took the letter and read it with a confused look on his face.
The first two big words - Divorce!
The content is that Zhou Xi married into the Liu family and had no children for eight years, so the Liu family divorced her in order to continue the family line.
Old Zhou grabbed the letter, glared at his eldest daughter who was crying on the ground, and said to his eldest daughter-in-law, "What are you standing there for? Take her downstairs to change clothes and warm herself by the fire. She wasn't in good health to begin with, and now she's getting sicker..."
Old Zhou lowered his head and met the little girl's pure eyes. He couldn't say anything unpleasant. He swallowed it and then shouted at Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang who were peeking outside, "What are you standing there for? Go ask the village chief to come home and tell him that we have something to ask him."
Qian was also very sad, but she quickly came to her senses. She glanced at the bundle her eldest daughter brought back and asked, "Where is your dowry?"
Zhou Xi lowered his head and said, "Before dawn, their family kicked me out of the house. They packed all my belongings. I didn't bring anything with me."
Qian nodded, "Okay, okay, very good!"
Zhou Dalang and the others were also furious. Qian looked at Zhou Silang and said, "You go too. Go to your maternal grandfather's house and call your three uncles and cousins!"
Divorce, even if her daughter cannot give birth to a child, this is not the way to divorce her. Who would divorce someone else's daughter without the consent of her family?
Zhou Silang responded and ran out.
Manbao stood beside Zhou Xi blankly, with her hand pulled by her, unable to move at all. She knew she couldn't ask questions now, otherwise she would definitely make her family angry, so she could only ask Keke, "What is a divorce letter? Why are my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law so angry, and my eldest sister so sad?"
Keke said: "A divorce letter is a letter from one spouse to the other, stating that the two are no longer husband and wife."
Manbao didn't quite understand. "If it's not true, then it's not true. Why are you acting like the sky is falling?"
Koko paused and said, "For your eldest sister, this is truly devastating. For your family, this is also a very big event."
