Lu Sanmei lived alone next door. Zhou Jianbin had gone to the county town to take care of Zhou Qidong's child. Zhou Qidong's wife didn't get along with Lu Sanmei and wouldn't let her go to the county town.
Zhou Qiming and Guo Qingqing also rented a house in the county town and had two daughters. Guo Qingqing took care of the children by herself, while Zhou Qiming worked at the timber factory.
As for Zhou Qiliang, he disappeared after being arrested and has not been seen since.
The Zhou family also built a house, but their reputation was ruined. Now everyone knows that Zhou Jinqiao is a prostitute, and it has been confirmed.
Two girls from the village were taken away by her. One of them, like her, hadn't returned for three years. The other girl, who had been taken away by Zhou Jinqiao, realized she had been deceived and sought help from the police herself before returning. It was this girl who confirmed that Zhou Jinqiao was working as a prostitute in a nightclub.
Yu Qiuying had heard about these things from Ma Yanhong and Wang Xiuying last year.
Now, when Zhou Cailian hears about these things, she feels quite saddened.
However, these were all other people's business, so she just listened to them as gossip.
It's rare for a family to reunite, and this year, Zhou Caiping and Xiao Mingyang spent the Spring Festival at the Zhou family home with their child.
That night, Zhou Cailian and Zhou Caiping talked for half the night, chatting about their respective lives.
When talking about her child, Zhou Caiping sighed and said, "Now I understand why my mother always scolded and hit me when I was little. You have no idea how naughty my Fangfang was. Sometimes when I was really angry, I wanted to beat her to death."
Finally, she sighed and said, "I actually like Fangfang too. I don't think I'm biased towards Tingting and Fangfang, but Tingting is obedient and sensible, and she is indeed more likable."
Zhou Cailian laughed at her, "Now you know how hard it is to be a mother, right?"
The two sisters talked for a long time, and finally, unable to stay awake any longer, they fell asleep without realizing it.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Qiuying did not go back to her parents' home, but instead went to pick up Wang Huimei and others. The Yu Qiufeng and Yu Qiuhong families also came.
Nearly fifty members of her family celebrated Wang Huimei's seventieth birthday.
Xu Yingying happened to have brought her camera with her, and she took a lot of photos.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yu Qiuying drove herself to the Qiu family's house.
Qiu Xingyue also got married last year.
Yu Qiuying wanted Huang Xiaomei to go to Dongguan Province for a few days. Huang Xiaomei was a little hesitant at first, but in the end, her two sons and daughters-in-law persuaded her to go, and also asked Qiu Xianghua to go with her.
So, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Xiaomei and Qiu Xianghua also went to Dongguan Province with Yu Qiuying and her group.
Upon arriving in Dongguan Province, after several shops reopened, Yu Qiuying left her affairs to Zhou Jiahong and spent the next ten days having fun with Huang Xiaomei and Qiu Xianghua.
I took a lot of photos to remember the occasion.
Huang Xiaomei and Qiu Xianghua didn't return until early February.
"Fifth Brother, what's wrong with you lately? You have such dark circles under your eyes, and you look listless all the time. Have you been out fooling around tonight?" Yu Qiuying saw Zhou Jiahong looking listless and yawning as she returned from seeing Huang Xiaomei and Qiu Xianghua off at the train station.
"No, Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I go out and mess around? I just stay up too late at night." Zhou Jiahong touched his overly long hair. He had been so engrossed in online games lately that he hadn't had time to get a haircut.
Yu Qiuying frowned at him, "What have you been doing to stay up so late?"
"I didn't do much, just bought a computer and play games at night."
A very popular online game has recently been released. Zhou Jiahong used to play it at internet cafes, but this year he bought his own computer.
He bought a small apartment last year and lives there by himself. No one bothers him, and he's very comfortable.
Yu Qiuying doesn't care what games he plays, but says, "You can play, but don't stay up too late. Staying up late for a long time is bad for your health."
"I know, I know."
However, Zhou Jiahong verbally agreed that he understood, but as soon as he logged into the game that night, he instantly forgot Yu Qiuying's words.
As soon as he logged on, his in-game "wife" sent him a message.
Lotus Leaf Round: [Honey, why are you online so late every day? Have you started working already?]
"Single-handed with the mother-in-law": [Yeah, I have to work, I'm only free in the evenings.]
"Solo Kill Mother-in-Law" is Zhou Jiahong's game name.
Lotus Leaf Round: [So, may I ask what you do for a living?]
