Zhou Wuguo's mother knew that the family's good life depended entirely on the financial support of her daughters...
Upon seeing his daughters, he widened his eyes and asked, "What are you all doing here?"
The group of women, all wiping away tears and carrying small bundles, hurriedly asked, "Mom, we were all kicked back by our husbands' families. What did you do to offend them?"
Zhou Wuguo's mother was completely bewildered. What had she done to implicate her daughters, causing them to be sent back even after she tried to persuade them?
Zhou Wuguo, standing to the side, frowned impatiently: "Mom, are we still going to Xiangyang Brigade or not...?"
"Go, go, go..." Then he turned to his daughters and said, "I'm taking your brother to bring your future sister-in-law back. You stay at home and wait for me to come back so I can tell you everything."
The quick-witted third sister among the four Zhou sisters suddenly grabbed Zhou Wuguo: "What sister-in-law?"
She suddenly remembered the sarcastic words her husband had said when he kicked her out: "Don't you even know who your Zhou family is? You're just a toad dreaming of eating swan meat. I've tolerated you supporting your family all these years, but now you're going to ruin my job, so don't blame me."
She hurriedly discussed her conversation with her friends and discovered they had something in common.
The toad's lust for swan meat is obviously not directed at any of the women who are already married. And now, the younger brother is talking about his sister-in-law...
Aside from their love of supporting their own families, these women weren't fools. They exchanged bewildered glances and grabbed their mother, saying, "Mom, tell us in detail about this sister-in-law thing."
Zhou Wuguo's mother recounted the whole story, including how Zhou's maternal aunt had instigated it, and how Zhou Wuguo was so determined to marry her...
The four Zhou sisters immediately raised their eyebrows as if they were catching flies, and said angrily, "Mom, aren't you being ridiculous? Even ordinary families in a small county wouldn't want to marry into a village, let alone a sent-down youth from the north. I'm afraid someone has already warned our husbands, otherwise they wouldn't have kicked us out of the house."
"The Zhou family said that the educated youth's mother was also willing."
Zhou Wuguo's mother hesitated before speaking, momentarily at a loss, and looked at Zhou Wuguo.
The second sister of the Zhou family looked at her younger brother and said angrily, "You know that we older sisters take care of you. If we are sent back to our parents' home, you should know whether we can live a normal life. Also, don't think I don't know that you told me before that whoever marries that sickly man will be unlucky. Now you've suddenly changed your mind?"
She has always been straightforward and demanded an answer from Zhou Wuguo.
When Zhou Wuguo was pressed for answers by his second sister, he instinctively avoided eye contact.
"explain!"
"The second sister of the Zhou family said angrily."
Zhou Wuguo was pampered by his older sisters, who never said a harsh word to him. However, he knew he was useless and depended entirely on his sisters for survival.
He lowered his head and said timidly, "I promised Xiaoru..."
He lowered his voice so much that it was hard to hear unless the others were listening carefully: "Xiaoru said that Fan Xiaofan often bullies her. She said that as long as I marry Fan Xiaofan, she'll marry me after that sickly guy dies..."
He even blushed a little as he said this.
Zhou Wuguo's mother then realized that her family had been used as pawns by Zhou Dashu's family...
"What should we do now?"
She looked to her daughters for help.
The Zhou sisters exchanged a glance and said, "It's obvious now that we can't mess with Fan Xiaofan. She must be protected by someone, otherwise she wouldn't have the ability to talk to all of our husbands at the same time. Luckily, it's not too late. She's not allowed to go to Xiangyang Brigade anymore, and she's not allowed to keep thinking about him..."
