However, after the Zhou family calmed down, Uncle Zhou was the first to speak: "We definitely can't send her back to us now. That sister is crazy. If he does that, people will talk about him behind his back..."
The Zhou family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Master Zhou made the final decision: "No, I have to go to Beidu and see what's going on..."
Aunt Zhou curled her lip: "Dad, how could you forget? The Fan family's two children are in the next village. Why don't we just go ask them? Why go all the way to Beidu? That would cost us Russian money..."
She spoke of Fan Yunyan and Fan Xiaofan with a sour look on her face.
“They’re relatives after all, but those siblings don’t take care of us at all. We have to put up with their attitude when we go to a wedding banquet. By the way, Xiao Fan works in a factory, could you please arrange a few jobs for our family members…”
She had been thinking about this matter constantly, but the people in Xiangyang Brigade were too fierce, so she never dared to do it.
They're now urging Old Master Zhou to do it.
“I could have let it go before, we could always make ends meet, but Dad, look, if my sister really goes crazy, we'll be left to support the family. How will we survive? It would be better to ask the Fan family to give us a few jobs as workers, so we can be self-sufficient and not bother them…”
Aunt Zhou looked on with a hint of unease.
The other members of the Zhou family nodded in agreement. They couldn't rely on Zhou Xuehua in the future, and they couldn't let their daughter go to waste...
Old Master Zhou looked at everyone. In these days, everyone was afraid of going hungry. The Zhou family had a lot of labor, but it was difficult to get enough to eat.
"Alright, I need to ask about Xuehua anyway, I'll go to Xiangyang Brigade."
This time, even Old Lady Zhou waved her hand to indicate that she wouldn't go. The women from Xiangyang Brigade spoke like knives, making her feel ashamed. She was afraid and wouldn't go...
In the end, only Uncle Zhou could accompany his father on the trip.
This time, the two went not to the educated youth settlement, but to Fan Yunyan's home. At this time, Fan Yunyan was still in class, and only Lu Zhixi was painting in the yard.
Grandpa Zhou and Uncle Zhou rubbed their hands together as they found the place and called out from outside the door, "Is anyone home?"
Lu Zhixi put down her paintbrush and walked towards the gate, her voice soft: "Who is it..."
Grandpa Zhou's face immediately darkened: "I'm your maternal grandfather, open the door..."
Lu Zhixi remembered that it was probably the Zhou family from the neighboring village. There was no reason to turn away elders when they came. She opened the door and, without hesitation, saw her aunt next door who had opened the door after hearing the noise. She quickly gestured for her to help.
The aunt patted her own child to deliver the message, then swayed and followed the Zhou father and son into the yard, her hand on her waist.
Although Old Master Zhou had come once before, it was just for a meal, and there weren't many people around, so it wasn't anything special. But this time, standing in the courtyard and looking around, wow, this is impressive...
The Zhou family still lives in the old house. This is a new house built with good materials, and the layout is reasonable and looks spacious.
"Yunyan is teaching a class. Is there anything I can do for you two?"
Lu Zhixi asked gently.
Although Old Master Zhou disdained a woman to serve them, he thought that Lu Zhixi was from S City and that her family was well-off. Some people are born to bully the weak and fear the strong, so he didn't dare to curse her. He forced a smile.
Just as Uncle Zhou was about to explain his purpose, Old Master Zhou slapped his hand away, then smiled strangely, saying, "Well, we just came to see how you're doing..."
Lu Zhixi lowered her eyes.
The plump auntie standing nearby exclaimed, "Oh, so you're not here to freeload? That's wonderful..."
