Chapter 7: She didn’t starve to death? Who starved to death?
"It's all because of me that I'm sorry for you, my poor Si'er. Wait a little longer. When I have saved up some more money, I'll take you to the provincial capital to see a doctor and cure you. I won't let you suffer this anymore."
Lin Shiqi looked through the crack in the door and saw Mrs. Zhou crying with her true feelings.
And Zhou Lang was lying on the bed sleeping.
She was in this posture when she left, and now when she looks back, she is still in this posture.
Fake at first glance!
It's obvious that he's pretending to sleep.
However, I didn’t expect that Mrs. Zhou was quite attentive to her silly son.
That’s right, otherwise, they wouldn’t have bought a child bride to take care of him since he was young.
In this age of food and clothing shortages, feeding one more mouth is a huge burden.
For example, the original owner’s maiden family, the Lin family.
They just couldn't afford to support Lin Shiqi, so they sold her to the Zhou family as a child bride. Not only did they sell her off, they also often came to her every now and then to ask for money.
Why did the original owner starve to death? Because she wanted to save some of the already limited leftovers for her after meals every day and prepare them for her family members so that they could take them back to eat...
If she didn't starve to death, who would?
The original owner was a brother-supporting demon!
It's all a mess.
…
At this moment, Zhou Lang turned over, looking sleepy.
"Wife, wife, I'm hungry..."
Lin Shiqi saw it through the crack in the door and almost burst out laughing again.
Zhou Lang’s Oscar-worthy performance was truly on point.
When Mrs. Zhou was feeling the deepest remorse, she began to give Lin Shiqi extra impression points.
Very good!
Even if Mrs. Zhou has a heart of stone, she would have to think twice.
Lin Shiqi hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in. "Mom, we have prepared the meal. I will feed my husband. You have worked hard to take care of him. Come and eat."
When Mrs. Zhou saw Lin Shiqi coming in, she wiped away her tears and turned back into her vicious mother-in-law self, not showing any good face to Lin Shiqi at all.
"I'll feed it."
Lin Shiqi...
He looked at Zhou Lang hard and said, "Hurry up and say it. Let your wife feed you. Hurry up and say it!"
But Zhou Lang didn't speak at this time.
Shameless dog, what a dog!
Was he afraid that she would steal his food again? He actually agreed to let Mrs. Zhou feed him.
Lin Shiqi glared at him, and wanted to kill him...
Zhou Lang still pretended not to see it.
Lin Shiqi smiled apologetically, "Let me feed you, mother. You go eat first. Be careful not to get too hungry. Everyone is waiting for you to eat."
Mrs. Zhou's maternal love was overflowing. It was so hard for her son not to ask his wife to feed him, so she must cherish this opportunity.
"I'll do it. Let them wait a little longer."
Zhou Lang still had no expression on his face, and only repeated one word, "Hungry..."
Mrs. Zhou felt so distressed that she snatched the bowl from Lin Shiqi's hand and said, "Give it to me."
"Oh, okay, mom."
As soon as Mrs. Zhou took the bowl...
It's like I understand everything.
Mrs. Zhou said in a deep voice,
"Just nourish your husband. Don't eat too much. It's useless for a woman to eat too much. A man will grow strong if he eats enough. In the future, his brain will work better and he will be like a normal person. You will have a good life..."
Lin Shiqi...she couldn't respond to this.
There was only the embarrassment of being exposed.
"Mom, I'm hungry too..."
Just admit it.
There is no shame in having a full meal.
Mrs. Zhou stared at Lin Shiqi angrily...
"Are you blaming me for not giving you enough food every day?"
"I didn't mean that, Mom." Lin Shiqi was not stupid.
This is someone else's territory.
There are so many people in the Zhou family, and since the family has not split up, they are all under the management of Mrs. Zhou, who is equivalent to the general manager of a modern enterprise, the leader of a department, or a direct leader. How dare you offend her head on?
Be brief and to the point.
Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, "The fourth child is my biological child. You must have overheard what I said to your eldest sister-in-law today, which is why you did all these things. Don't worry, my fourth child can't live without you, so I won't sell you. No matter how poor our family is, we will never sell our daughter-in-law. We have to save our face."
Lin Shiqi...she underestimated Mrs. Zhou.
Ouch!
Mrs. Zhou's eyes are very observant!
"You were so stupid before, you couldn't do a thing even if you were beaten with three sticks! I really didn't feel comfortable handing the fourth child over to you. After I returned to the mountains, not only could you not protect the fourth child, but you also often interacted with your mother's family..."
Lin Shiqi lowered his head and listened to the instructions.
What Mrs. Zhou said makes sense.
Dare not say a word.
Mrs. Zhou continued, "I'm just being lazy with you. These past few days, I've noticed your cleverness. It seems like you've finally gotten the hang of it. As long as you're sincere to our fourth brother, I'll never treat you unfairly in the future..."
Lin Shiqi...how did she know how clever she was?
Was it from those few times when she served Zhou Lang food and served it to such a height that even the dog couldn't climb up?
"Mom..." shy and embarrassed.
"You grew up with the fourth child, and now the fourth child cannot leave you, which means you and the fourth child are destined to be husband and wife. The fourth child in our family is not very smart, but he was born well. We are his parents, and we will naturally not let him be stupid for his whole life. We have invited famous doctors nearby to see him, but they can't do anything. However, the doctor said that he may not be hopeless. When I save enough money, I will send him to the provincial capital to see a good doctor. You should treat our fourth child well and don't have any evil intentions. Good days will come for you in the future."
Lin Shiqi naturally agreed not to fold it.
"My husband and I grew up together, and we have a bond. Even if he continues to be like this, as long as the Zhou family gives me a bite of food, I am willing to serve him like a slave."
Mrs. Zhou said, "I told you the truth because you have become smarter. I am not worried now, but I am worried about how you will treat him after his father and I are gone."
"Of course... to support my husband. As long as I eat, my husband will eat. I will never abandon him!"
Lin Shiqi spoke without hesitation.
This was the answer that Mrs. Zhou wanted to hear most.
The psychology of the family members must be grasped! After years of short video production, there are still gains.
There were a few coughs coming from the bed, and Zhou Lang seemed to be unable to hold it back and choked.
Lin Shiqi remained calm.
Inwardly, I thought: Haha, I can’t choke you to death! Dog Zhou Lang!
Mrs. Zhou finally withdrew her gaze from her.
As if Lin Shiqi had passed her test, "Alright, you feed the meal. I'll ask your third sister-in-law to make an egg soup for you two..."
Lin Shiqi also breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay! Mom. Thank you, Mom. I also thank you on behalf of my husband. My husband is ignorant. I will definitely teach him to respect his parents in the future."
Mrs. Zhou paused and said, "After you feed your husband, go to the main hall and eat with us."
"Thank you, mother. You are so kind."
Lin Shiqi was a flatterer.
Anyway, it's just a matter of talking, it's not difficult, just secure your position in the family first.
With just a few nice words, she gained the right to eat at Zhou's house openly in the future, without having to do it secretly.
