When Zhu Guihua mentioned money, she became even more resentful, not caring at all that her son was still lying on the sickbed and unable to move: "You haven't sent money home in the past few months, and the family has a hard time. You know that your eldest brother has three sons, and your younger brother has two sons, all of whom are young enough to eat their parents out of poverty. Your father hasn't been able to work and earn work points in the past two years."
"There are more than a dozen mouths to feed in a family, but only a few laborers. How can we feed them? Second brother, you can't just ignore the family now that you have the ability. Don't forget that when you went to the army, it was the third brother who gave you the quota."
Sheng An Ning stood at the door and listened in amazement. Is this what her biological mother said?
This made her suspect that Zhou Shixun was picked up.
Zhou Erni added fuel to the fire: "Second brother, our father's health is getting worse day by day. The doctor in the village said that he should eat some good food to replenish his body, but our father is reluctant to let him go. He said that it's not easy for you to be out there and you just got married. Second brother, is it because Second Sister-in-law doesn't allow you to send money home?"
Zhou Shixun frowned, suppressing the forbearance and slight anger in his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, I have other uses for my salary recently. I also said that if you stay at home, I will send money. If you make trouble again, I will not care about you."
Zhu Guihua looked at her son's cold eyes and shuddered in her heart. She was still afraid of Zhou Shixun. This child had been like a wolf cub since he was young, cruel and ruthless.
If he is willing to kill his own brother in a fight, then he must be a man of his words.
But how can I be willing to give up if I don’t get the money? His face changed and he said sadly: “Second brother, it’s the incompetence of the family that has dragged you down, but you have to take care of your sister’s matter.”
No matter what, Zhou Erni had a boyfriend as an educated youth before, and everyone in the surrounding area knew about it. When the production team showed movies, the two of them would sit together and watch the movie openly.
As a result, the educated youth returned to the city. When the man left, he made all kinds of promises and said he would take Zhou Erni to live in the city as soon as he returned. However, after he left for three or four months, there was no news from him.
Before leaving, he also cheated Zhou Erni out of 50 kilograms of food coupons and 20 yuan.
How could Zhu Guihua not be angry!
Sheng An Ning listened for a while and understood a little bit, that is, Zhou Shixun had an older brother and a younger brother, and Zhou Erni was the only daughter in the family.
This time, Zhu Guihua brought her daughter here in the hope that Zhou Shixun would find a husband for Zhou Erni in the city.
I sighed in my heart once again, what a weird family this is.
Zhu Guihua saw that Zhou Shixun didn't respond after talking for a long time. She glanced and saw Sheng Anning standing at the door. She immediately put on her mother-in-law's airs: "Is it Anning? Why don't you come in? Why are you standing at the door? We didn't say anything shameful."
If Zhou Shixun hadn't been there, she might have said something unpleasant.
Sheng An Ning carried the steel pot in and didn't take Zhu Guihua seriously. Anyway, the original owner had that kind of temper, so there was no need to spoil Zhu Guihua.
He put the steel pot on the bedside table and said to Zhou Shixun, "Eat something and rest, otherwise your wound will not heal easily."
Zhu Guihua and Zhou Erni had already smelled the aroma and came over. Looking at the pot of duck and the yellow duck soup, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Zhou Erni reached out and said, "This duck looks delicious."
Sheng An Ning slapped Zhou Erni on the back of her hand without any hesitation: "This is for your second brother to recover from his injury, what are you doing?"
Zhou Erni rubbed the back of her red and burning hands, pouting aggrievedly: "It's such a big pot, can my second brother finish it? You city people are so stingy."
Sheng An Ning really couldn't understand how someone like Zhou Shixun could have such an excellent family, and sneered back: "City people are stingy, so don't smear the country people."
Zhou Erni glared, but couldn't argue with Sheng An Ning, and she had been craving for meat in recent days, and her eyes lit up when she saw meat.
I used to be greedy, but I knew I could only eat meat during festivals, so I could hold back no matter how greedy I was.
But now he couldn't help it, he swallowed his saliva and turned to look at Zhu Guihua: "Mom, I want to eat too."
Zhu Guihua was also greedy. Whenever the family killed a chicken during festivals, the men would eat first, then the children, and only when there were some bones left would it be her turn to taste it.
At this moment, he also sternly scolded Sheng An Ning: "We have been worried about Lao Er's health since we arrived last night. He hasn't eaten a single bite of rice or water until now. Hurry up and bring a few bowls and chopsticks so that we can eat together. Anyway, it's such a big pot, Lao Er can't finish it all by himself."
Sheng An Ning definitely didn't spoil her: "There's a cafeteria in the back, and there are also snacks outside. A bowl of noodles costs 1.5 cents. If you're hungry, go eat! This duck soup won't go bad if you leave it outside if you can't finish it in one meal."
Zhu Guihua was used to being overbearing at home, so how could the two daughters-in-law dare to disobey her openly? Their faces fell, "I'm his mother, how can I not even have a bite of meat?"
Zhou Shixun frowned and wanted to ask Sheng An Ning to share the meat between the two of them to avoid a quarrel and embarrassment.
Before he could speak, Sheng An Ning spoke first: "I cleaned and stewed this duck, I can give it to whoever I want."
After saying that, he glared at Zhou Shixun, as if he would pour a pot of soup on his face if he dared to be a good person.
Zhou Shixun pursed his lips, closed his eyes and ignored it.
Seeing that Zhou Shixun didn't help her, Zhu Guihua didn't dare to get angry. She pulled Zhou Erni to sit down on the opposite bed with a snort, and took out a cornmeal cake from her bag and gave it to her daughter: "Eat it. When you marry into the city in the future, don't learn to be so stingy."
Sheng An Ning had no reaction to this kind of indirect criticism. It was actually funny. Zhu Guihua was quite good at daydreaming. Nothing was happening at all, but she was already dreaming of marrying into the city.
He took out the lunch box from the bedside table, picked up the duck legs and duck wings, and poured some duck soup into it.
He bent over and helped Zhou Shixun up.
She was completely concerned with taking care of the injured, so she didn't feel how close the distance was. She even forgot that in this day and age, when men and women are dating, they want to keep a distance of two meters.
Zhou Shixun was different. He was caught off guard when Sheng Anning got so close to him that he could smell a faint fragrance that was like citrus and jasmine.
Before he could come to his senses, Sheng An Ning had already stretched one arm behind him, and with the other hand supported his shoulders, she lifted him up.
The strength was so great that it surprised him!
Sheng An Ning didn't take it seriously. She had turned over countless corpses for experiments before, so she knew how to use clever strength. She leaned the pillow against Zhou Shixun's back and asked him to sit down. She then went to bring the lunch box over: "It's not hot now. Drink two sips of soup first, and then eat the meat. This way the wound will heal faster."
Zhou Shixun was really embarrassed to eat in front of Zhu Guihua and Zhou Erni.
Sheng An Ning felt that it was because of Zhou Shixun's honest character that he was bullied by such an extreme mother and sister. She directly held the lunch box to Zhou Shixun's mouth and said, "Drink it quickly. My hands are sore from holding it."
Zhou Erni had just swallowed a mouthful of dry food, and when she saw Sheng An Ning's domineering look, she wanted to speak, but her stomach churned, and she covered her mouth and retched...
