Zhou Dafu left after he finished speaking. Lin Qingqing looked at the pears in the basket and thought that the village chief was not greedy.
She put the pears down, looked at the smashed house, and said to Xue Guixiang, "Mom, let's just clean up first and sleep there tonight. I'll go to the county town to buy some daily necessities tomorrow."
Xue Guixiang nodded: "Okay..."
Lin Qingqing asked Zhou Zhuo to sweep the broken porcelain pieces on the floor, while she and her mother-in-law did other things and cleaned up the mess in no time.
Xue Guixiang wanted to boil water for them and wash them, but Lin Qingqing didn't want her to be tired. Her mother-in-law was in poor health and had been busy all day and encountered such a thing at night, so she let her go to bed first.
Since his mother was asleep, his son couldn't escape, so Zhou Zhuo naturally became a househusband, and he was very happy.
After boiling the water, Zhou Zhuo brought a pot into the house, poured the water into the basin, and insisted on helping his wife wash her feet.
Lin Qingqing refused, but Zhou Zhuo held her feet and soaked them in hot water without saying a word. Suddenly, a strange feeling came over her, and she couldn't help but let out a low scream. Realizing that her mother-in-law was sleeping in another room, she quickly covered her mouth.
The Zhou family has three rooms, with the main room in the middle and a sleeping room at each end. There are no doors in the rooms at either end, only a curtain hanging to separate them, so any movement can be heard.
People are not rich these days, and this is the case in most families. Parents can only pretend to be deaf and blind when they hear what their sons and daughters-in-law are doing in the house.
Xue Guixiang had just laid down when she heard the noise coming from the other room. She covered her head and smiled secretly. Her son was not stupid and knew how to love his wife.
Zhou Zhuo squatted on the ground, washing his wife's feet with his rough big hands. Lin Qingqing couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
In her previous life, she was raised by a stepmother who was of average character. Although she raised her, her attitude was cold and indifferent. She never felt the warmth of family. Later, she worked hard to build a career and made a name for herself with her own strength, but there was no one around her who cared about her.
She didn't expect to meet the warm-hearted boy Zhou Zhuo so soon in her life. He protected her in every way, and her old heart began to move.
She secretly vowed that once she had saved enough money, she would take Zhou Zhuo to see a doctor. She felt that the original owner was blind, having such a good man but cheating on him and eventually killing him. In this life, she must change Zhou Zhuo's fate and give him a different life.
Zhou Zhuo held his wife's snow-white little feet in his hands. Seeing that the skin on her feet was worn out, he blew on them with his mouth out of pity.
Lin Qingqing's heart melted into a pool of spring water: "Zhou Zhuo, let's go to sleep. We still have to go to the county town to sell pears tomorrow."
Zhou Zhuo then got up, put his wife's feet on the bed, poured out the water in the basin, and came back to lie down next to his wife to sleep.
Lin Qingqing's feet were warm, and she slept soundly. In her previous life, she had been under great work pressure and often suffered from insomnia at night. After her rebirth, she made up for the sleep she had missed in her previous life.
The next morning, Xue Guixiang cooked some rice porridge and served a bowl to Lin Qingqing in her only bowl, while the mother and daughter ate in basins.
After eating and drinking, the family went to pick pears. Before leaving, Lin Qingqing took all the money in the family with her. The door was smashed, and she was afraid that the money would not be safe at home.
It was another busy and money-making day. At noon, she and Zhou Zhuo had mutton soup again, and she brought a few fried pancakes for Xue Guixiang as usual. It was already afternoon when they finished their work. Lin Qingqing found a craftsman from the city to help her replace the gate.
But the craftsman didn't know where she lived, and Lin Qingqing had other things to do and couldn't go back for the time being. She was worried that there was no one to lead the way when she saw Ruihong coming towards her with a net bag and hurriedly called her.
