Chapter 865 Zhou Qiao is worried
Da Niu immediately turned to face her and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I don't feel uncomfortable."
"Then why are you frowning? Are you unhappy that your second uncle's family is back?"
Zhou Qiao suddenly sat up. "Of course I'm happy. I've been looking forward to their return for so long. I just... I just..."
"What is it? Is there anything you can't tell me?" Da Niu also sat up.
Zhou Qiao pursed her lips, turned her head slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable if I tell you."
"No, just tell me, I'm listening."
Zhou Qiao took a deep breath and whispered, "I was just thinking that now that my second uncle's family is back, my second aunt will be in charge of the shop from now on. Should we go back to Shangshi Village?"
As she spoke, her fingers fidgeted nervously.
Zhou Qiao never intended to occupy the shop; it wasn't originally hers, she was just temporarily looking after it.
She wasn't afraid to go back to the village to do farm work; that's how she'd been growing up, and she was used to it.
However, returning to the village meant staying at home and living with her mother-in-law.
I didn't know much about Li before, I only heard that she was a nice person and was always kind and gentle to people.
She herself had lost her mother, and she was thinking that after she got married, she would take care of Li as if she were her own mother.
But after getting married, he realized that he had been too naive.
Da Niu is a good girl, and her father-in-law is also very kind to her. Lan Hua is a girl who loves beauty and occasionally has her own little thoughts, but she is easy to talk to and respects her. Er Niu is lively and studies at a private school, so they don't spend much time together.
As a family, we may have some flaws, but we are still willing to work things out with each other.
Only her mother-in-law, though sweet on the outside, was bitter on the inside. In front of outsiders, she was incredibly kind to her, but once home, she was left to do all the chores, and if anything wasn't to her liking, she would be subjected to endless nitpicking. Her words and actions all pointed to her wanting the jewelry and dowry money she received at her wedding.
Zhou Qiao was genuinely afraid of her mother-in-law, but luckily Da Niu took her to the county town to help her look after the shop.
Even so, the mother-in-law was not very happy, saying that a daughter-in-law should stay at home to serve her parents-in-law, and not go to the county town to enjoy a life of luxury.
When my husband's older sister came back to her parents' home, she said that Da Niu got married late. Other people his age already have two children. If the couple were separated, when would my mother-in-law get to hold her grandson?
The mother-in-law reluctantly agreed to let her come to the county town with Da Niu.
But the mother-in-law was still unwilling and insisted on coming along, saying that she would take care of the couple's daily life.
But Da Niu refused. This shop only has one room. Where would his mother-in-law stay when she came?
The mother-in-law wanted to move to Aunt Xiang's place in Liufang Lane, but Da Niu still disagreed. Aunt Xiang's house was used for making clothes, so there wasn't much room for people to live in.
Besides, what will happen to the family if my mother-in-law comes to the county town? Erniu needs to go to school, Lanhua needs to prepare for her wedding, and my father-in-law is busy in the fields all day long. We can't do without a lady of the house.
Zhou Qiao felt a bit stifled at the thought of having to live with her mother-in-law every day after returning to the village.
Having been married to her for half a year, Da Niu could somewhat guess what she was thinking. He reached out and held her uneasy hands, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm here. Although the shop will definitely have to be returned to Second Uncle, I can go and plant sunflowers then."
"Is it that yellow flower, about the size of a washbasin, that's currently growing in the yard?"
