Chen Jinfeng gave birth to two daughters before she finally had a son. Ding Xiaocui gave birth to a boy, so Zhou Jiaxiang became the eldest grandson.
Every time she clashed with Ding Ermei, Ding Ermei would use words like Chen Jinfeng's pregnancy was not good and the eldest daughter-in-law could not give birth to a grandson to pressure Chen Jinfeng.
Chen Jinfeng was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
Every time Chen Jinfeng saw Ding Ermei secretly giving money or things to the second roommate, she didn't dare to say it to her face, but would mutter about it to Zhou Bingqiang after returning to her room.
Zhou Bingqiang felt annoyed after hearing this.
To put it bluntly, the money in Ding Ermei's hand was all sent back by her third brother. Her third brother's family had to pay 10 yuan for accommodation every month!
Since the first and second wives do not have to pay this money, they are actually getting a good deal.
Besides, there are only two laborers in their family of five, and two of them are laborers. The first branch has more people and eats more, but earns about the same as the second branch. So the first branch is not at a disadvantage!
However, Zhou Bingqiang knew Chen Jinfeng's character.
If I don't agree with her, Chen Jinfeng will keep nagging tonight.
"Okay, okay, I get it. I'll talk to Mom when she comes back. If my second brother and the others really have so much money, it would be a bit too much." Zhou Bingqiang responded.
Only then was Chen Jinfeng satisfied.
As time passed, Zhou Bingxing and his wife had not yet returned home.
Chen Jinfeng couldn't fall asleep in bed. She couldn't help but push Zhou Bingqiang who was snoring and asked, "Bingqiang, my second brother and his wife must know that Jiaxiang has returned home, right? Should we go ask Jiaxiang?"
"What are you asking? Even if they don't know, don't my second brother and the others know to go home when they can't find them? Go to bed quickly. I still have things to do tomorrow!" Zhou Bingqiang didn't want to move.
Chen Jinfeng had no choice but to shut up.
However, Chen Jinfeng still couldn't fall asleep. She was very curious about where Zhou Jiaxiang's chicken legs came from.
A few hours later, Zhou Bingxing and his wife returned home and saw Zhou Jiaxiang lying on the bed sleeping with his legs spread out. They looked at each other in surprise.
The two of them simultaneously went to push Zhou Jiaxiang who was sleeping on the bed.
After Zhou Jiaxiang was pushed awake, his face looked extremely sour.
He was just dreaming about eating chicken legs! A dozen chicken legs to eat at will.
When he woke up, the chicken leg flew away.
"Jiaxiang, what's wrong with you?" Ding Xiaocui saw Zhou Jiaxiang in a daze and couldn't help but shout twice.
"Mom, where have you been?" Zhou Jiaxiang came to his senses, rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"Where have we been? Where have you been today, you little brat? Your mom and I have been looking for you everywhere, and our legs are almost broken." Zhou Bingxing patted his son's head, feeling furious.
He was hungry and had been searching for most of the day, but his son was sleeping soundly at home. How could Zhou Bingxing not be angry?
"I... I'm in town!" Zhou Jiaxiang lost all his sleepiness after being slapped by Zhou Bingxing.
"What are you doing in town? The market has ended long ago, don't you know to go home?" Zhou Bingxing was still very angry.
"I... I can't find the way." Zhou Jiaxiang lowered his head, his eyes rolling around.
Zhou Jiaxiang knew that if his parents knew that he was learning to be a thief, they would definitely beat him.
Therefore, he couldn't tell anyone about Cao Laoliu.
"Zhou Bingxing, can't you talk to Jiaxiang nicely? You start fighting right away, aren't you afraid of beating Jiaxiang silly?" Ding Xiaocui rushed to protect him.
"Look at your well-taught son, who doesn't even go home after the gathering and hangs around outside alone. If he gets kidnapped by human traffickers, what will you do?" Zhou Bingxing's anger was directed at Ding Xiaocui.
If Ding Xiaocui hadn't dragged him to look for the child, would he have stayed at home? Would he have been so tired today?
After searching for several hours and asking so many questions, my throat is almost smoking and my feet are hurting so much that I may have blisters.
"Jiaxiang is fine! Why are you so angry?" Ding Xiaocui said angrily, "If Mom hadn't been arrested, would Jiaxiang be left behind? Jiaxiang is just a child, it's good enough that he can find his way home. You scolded and beat him, don't you wish he wouldn't come back?"
Ding Xiaocui's voice got louder.
The feeling of regaining what was lost makes Ding Xiaocui think that everything about her son is fine.
Ding Xiaocui thought Zhou Bingqiang was being unreasonable by scolding his son.
Zhou Jiaxiang was shocked.
Grandma was arrested by the police?
Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise, the police might have arrested him as well.
"Xiao Cui, let Jiaxiang speak for himself. Jiaxiang, tell me what happened? Why don't you go home?" Zhou Bingxing was very dissatisfied.
It was like this every time. As soon as he started to scold his son, Ding Xiaocui would come to his defense.
"Dad, I was lost. I wandered around the town for most of the day before I finally found my home," said Zhou Jiaxiang.
Ding Xiaocui has already found a reason for Zhou Jiaxiang. Zhou Jiaxiang is not a fool and will definitely follow what Ding Xiaocui says.
"My poor child, you've been walking for half a day, you must be hungry, right? Come on, follow me to the kitchen, I'll make you some egg custard." Ding Xiaocui hurriedly took Zhou Jiaxiang's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
Wow! You can eat egg custard even if you lie?
Zhou Jiaxiang was happy.
Zhou Jiaxiang only ate a big chicken drumstick in the evening and slept for a few hours. Now he seemed hungry again.
"Yes, Mom will make you some egg custard. Zhao Zhenzhu, that stingy girl, won't even eat a bite of her egg custard. Mom will beat three eggs for you today so you can eat as much as you want." Ding Xiaocui said confidently.
Today, she can finally hold her head high and let her child eat eggs from her grandmother's house.
Ding Xiaocui went back to her parents' home today and went to her family to cry about what happened: Zhou Jiaxiang wanted to eat egg custard, but was slapped by Zhao Zhenzhu, and was also scolded by Ding Ermei for two days.
Ding Xiaocui’s parents gave her half a basket of eggs as a return gift.
Halfway through the walk, Ding Xiaocui remembered that her eggs had fallen on the way and she hadn't taken them home.
"Bingxing, Zhou Bingxing!" Ding Xiaocui shouted several times.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Bingxing came out of the house with a sour face.
"Can you help me go ask the villagers who picked up my basket and eggs? I remember I put them under the big camphor tree at the entrance of the village." Ding Xiaocui made arrangements as soon as she opened her mouth.
Under the big camphor tree at the entrance of Zhoujia Village is the distribution center of Zhoujia Village Bagua.
When Ding Xiaocui returned to the village this afternoon, she overheard some gossip about her own family under the camphor tree. She even forgot to take the basket of eggs and ran home.
The folk customs in Zhoujia Village are still good. With so many people here, whoever picks up Ding Xiaocui's eggs will definitely not swallow them.
"I won't go. I'm starving. Please cook for me." Zhou Bingxing refused.
Zhou Bingxing felt that Ding Xiaocui was really incomprehensible and did whatever she wanted.
Everyone is asleep at this time, who is going, he asks?
"Mom, I'm actually not very hungry. I drank a bellyful of water when I got home before I fell asleep." Zhou Jiaxiang said hurriedly, fearing that Zhou Bingxing would vent his anger on him later.
