Chapter 3407 Extra Zhou Yin 22
Xia Xin nodded while crying, "Mom, you haven't seen the baby being born yet. Feel it, he's already this big now."
Mother Xia was also very sorry, "I didn't see him being born, and I don't know whether it was a boy or a girl?"
Xia Xin couldn't help crying, but she couldn't stop it, and her mother still passed away due to illness.
After her death, Xia Yan seemed to have lost all his energy and his health deteriorated.
Zhou Yin and Xia Xin were both very worried and could only keep asking him to think about his future grandson.
Xia Xin had no time to feel sad. For her father's sake, she would hold her belly and go to see him every day, asking him to talk to the baby in her belly.
Occasionally, the baby in her belly would kick her belly lively, and a rare smile would flash across Xia Yan's face, and his expression would become more relaxed, so Xia Xin liked to find her father even more.
Seeing that her belly was getting bigger and bigger and the baby in her belly was reacting more and more, Xia Yan simply found some books. Every day when Xia Xin was lying in the yard basking in the sun, he would take the books and read to her.
It turns out the effect is really good. Every time Xia Xin hears her father reading, she feels drowsy and falls asleep in a short while.
Xia Yan had intended not to disturb her sleep, so he stopped talking and was about to put the book away when he saw a bulge on his daughter's belly. It looked as if the child's little feet or hands were pressing hard outwards.
Xia Yan was amazed. After thinking for a while, he opened the book and read another passage.
The bulge retracted and everything returned to calm.
Xia Yan recited for a long time, then stopped again, and saw another bulge on his stomach...
He tried it several times, and when he saw Xia Xin frowning and about to wake up, he immediately turned to the next page and continued reading. Only then did the child calm down, and Xia Xin slowly fell asleep.
Xia Yan was anxiously wondering whether the baby in her belly was falling asleep while listening to the book like his mother, or was he listening seriously?
After thinking about it, he felt that he was ridiculous. How could the baby in his belly understand what people outside were saying?
But with the child by his side, Xia Yan's health did improve a little, and he survived from autumn to winter. Unfortunately, he still did not live to see the child born.
Xia Xin was extremely sad and gave birth to a daughter prematurely shortly after Xia Yan was buried.
Because Xia Yan passed away, the Xia family of Hongtian Village came to make trouble several times, believing that Zhou Yin was unfilial and did not take good care of Xia Yan and his mother. Some people even maliciously speculated that Zhou Yin had killed the two of them for the Xia family's property.
"My uncle and aunt have always been in good health and have been free of illness and disaster for many years. How come they both fell ill as soon as Zhou Yin married into their family? And they died right after each other. If there's nothing fishy going on, I'd never believe it."
The neighbors looked at the people blocking the Xia family's door and sneered, "Who doesn't know that Mr. and Mrs. Xia are in poor health?"
"That's right. Isn't it because of their poor health that they only had Xin Niang at such an old age?" someone said, "Mrs. Xia took so many medicines to give birth to Xin Niang, and she was sick two or three times a year afterwards. I think Zhou Yin is quite filial. This year, he gave up his thriving business to take care of them. My son said that he has established connections with several caravans and is earning as much as the Xia family's assets."
"I think it's those people from Hongtian Village who are eyeing the Xia family's wealth. Who doesn't know that they have always wanted to adopt a child for Mr. Xia?"
"After all, I came from a poor and remote village. Is a yard worth fighting over?"
"It's more than just one yard, right? I heard there's a lot of land."
There was a lot of noise outside. Zhou Yin climbed over the wall and went out from the next door. He called his friends and the village head to drive the people away, and then went home to see Xia Xin.
Xia Xin looked unhappy after giving birth. She rarely smiled and always stared blankly at the cradle.
Zhou Yin bent down, picked up his sleeping daughter and put her in her arms. Xia Xin, who had been daydreaming, came back to her senses, looked down at her daughter in her arms, and her face became a little lively.
He sat by the bed, half hugging her, and looked at their daughter in his arms with her. "When the child is older, we can take her back to visit my brother and sister-in-law, okay?"
Xia Xin: "Going to Mianzhou?"
"Yes, let's go to Mianzhou." Zhou Yin squeezed her hand, drawing her attention to him. "Let's live there for two years. I want you to see where I grew up."
He said, "My brother and his wife are very good, especially my sister-in-law. If you meet her, you will definitely like her."
Xia Xin was a little scared, "Then will we come back?"
"Of course," Zhou Yin said, "Dad and Mom are here, we will definitely come back."
He said, "I plan to rent the land to someone else, leave the shop to Uncle Xia to take care of, and ask Uncle Xia to help look after the house as well. We will be back in two years at the latest."
By the time these disturbances have subsided, Xia Xin will be able to get out of her sadness.
Xia Xin's condition has been very bad recently, and Zhou Yin is worried that something might happen to her.
Xia Xin's eyes reddened and she leaned into his arms, "Okay, let's go to Mianzhou."
For Xia Xin, Zhou Yin rented out the three plots of land in his family to his clansmen, which finally made them quiet down and stop coming to his house to make trouble every few days.
However, there were still various criticisms in Hongtian Village, and Zhou Yin did not dare to let Xia Xin go back.
When his daughter was a little older, Zhou Yin took all the important things in the family, such as cash, land deeds, and house deeds, and packed up some valuables and entrusted them to a familiar business to transport them to Luojiang County.
He hired someone to go back to Qili Village first, and then he would go to pick up the goods after the merchant delivered them to Luojiang County.
Because he only brought a coachman, his wife and daughter on the journey, he did not dare to bring too many valuable things. Except for the household registration and some travel expenses, all other things were handed over to the merchant company.
He slowly returned to Luojiang County, paid the money to the driver, and drove back to Qili Village himself.
Zhou Yin, who had been privately declared dead by Qili Village, suddenly appeared and brought back his wife and children, causing the entire village to boil.
Zhou Jin and his sons were still working in the fields. One of them had lost his shoes and ran over barefoot without even bothering to look for them. "Uncle Jin, Uncle Jin, Uncle Xiaoyin is back—"
Zhou Jin almost hit his foot with the hoe. He staggered for a moment before steadying himself. He turned around and asked in a distorted voice, "What did you say?"
"Uncle Xiaoyin is back and on his way to your house. Go back and check on him!"
Zhou Jin turned to look at his sons. Zhou Dalang reacted and immediately said, "Dad, I heard it too."
The brothers immediately picked up their hoes and ran home with Zhou Jin. Before they reached home, they saw a group of people surrounding a cart coming towards them on the opposite road. Because there were too many people, the donkey cart could not move for a long time.
Zhou Jin stared blankly at the young man standing beside the donkey cart and rubbed his eyes. If the other person did not look somewhat like him when he was young, he would hardly recognize that this was his brother.
The older generation in the village couldn't believe it either, and asked quietly, "Are you really Zhou Yin?"
Zhou Yin looked helpless, "Yeah, Brother Dayou, I've only been away from home for a few years, how come you don't recognize me?"
"He must be Zhou Yin," Zhou Hu said, pulling a young boy over. "Look at his eyes, eyebrows, and face, which are almost identical to Shi Lang's. People would even believe they were father and son, not to mention uncle and nephew."
Zhou Yin: ...
Zhou Silang, who was dragged over with a confused look on his face, said: ...
Zhou Yin then saw Zhou Silang. After looking him up and down, he reached out and rubbed his head, praising him: "Good boy, you've grown up so big?"
Zhou Jin was pushed forward, his face still blank, full of disbelief, "Second brother?"
Zhou Yin's eyes turned red and he called out, "Brother."
Do you want to see Zhou Yin and Xia Xin sacrifice themselves, or is it enough to stop here?
See you tomorrow, and then I'll consider whether to write that paragraph tomorrow.
