Zhou Yuanyuan thought Wu Jinfeng would catch up with her, so when Zhao Yunxiang closed the door, Zhou Yuanyuan deliberately took a step behind and bolted it.
If Wu Jinfeng had not resorted to such extreme cheating methods, Zhao Yunxiang might have gone to check on Zhou Zhimei to see how serious her injuries were.
Wu Jinfeng's commotion immediately gave up Zhao Yunxiang's desire to go see Zhou Zhimei. Ten or eight yuan wasn't much for Zhao Yunxiang now. If Wu Jinfeng didn't have money, she would have asked Zhao Yunxiang to borrow it, and she would have been willing to give it to her.
However, Wu Jinfeng directly put the blame for Zhou Zhimei's injury on Zhao Yunxiang, which made Zhao Yunxiang angry. Zhao Yunxiang knew that she could not pay the money, otherwise Wu Jinfeng would tell the villagers that Zhou Zhimei was injured because of her fault.
Thinking back on the recent frustrations, Zhao Yunxiang, who was as nagging as Wu Jinfeng, felt a simmering conflict. She was merely Zhou Zhimei's sister-in-law. Zhou Zhimei had both parents, so even if she needed financial support, it wouldn't be her turn. Furthermore, Zhou Zhimei had been injured by attempting to sabotage her bicycle. Could Zhao Yunxiang be so heartless? Paying for medical expenses for someone who had vandalized her own things? The more Zhao Yunxiang thought about it, the more depressed she felt.
"Mom, Mom." Zhou Yuanyuan turned around and saw Zhao Yunxiang looking distraught, so she called out a few times hurriedly.
"Yuanyuan?" Zhao Yunxiang's thoughts were interrupted by Zhou Yuanyuan. Seeing her daughter's bright smile, her gloomy mood suddenly improved a lot. Seeing that her daughter looked like she had something to say, Zhao Yunxiang couldn't help but use a questioning tone.
"Mom, let's go find Dad! Bring my brother with us. We don't like staying in this house." Zhou Yuanyuan raised her little face and expressed her wish.
Ever since she overheard the conversation between Zhou Chunping and Zhou Zhigang that night, Zhou Yuanyuan thought about it for several days before coming up with this plan to "cut off the source of the problem."
In his previous life, Zhou Zhixin died miserably in Zhoujia Village. If in this life, Zhou Zhixin did not change his career and return to Zhoujia Village, and his family of four lived in Zhou Zhixin's army, far away from Zhoujia Village, would Zhou Zhixin not have died early?
In those days, soldiers in the army were all advanced in thought and had good conduct. Bound by the army's strict rules and regulations, no matter whether it was "Lili" or "Lili", it was impossible for Zhou Zhixin to win his heart.
"Okay. Yuanyuan, we will leave in a few days." Zhao Yunxiang was stunned for a moment. She did not hesitate like last time, nor did she persuade Zhou Yuanyuan to stay in Zhoujia Village. Instead, she nodded and agreed directly.
Zhao Yunxiang had been considering the possibility of joining Zhou Zhixin's army for the past few days. Zhou Zhixin was already a deputy battalion-level officer, and she and her daughter had long been eligible to join the army, but Wu Jinfeng had been holding them back, which had delayed the matter.
Zhao Yunxiang didn't have any spare money, and she was afraid that going to the army would cause trouble for Zhou Zhixin, so she stayed in Zhoujia Village. Now Zhao Yunxiang has no shortage of money, and Zhou Yuanyuan often harassed her, so she came up with this plan.
Zhou Zhixin's unanswered letter became the trigger for Zhao Yunxiang's desire to join the army. Zhao Yunxiang wanted to confront Zhou Zhixin directly: was it her fault for criticizing her mother-in-law and the others? Or did Zhou Zhixin think whatever his mother-in-law did to her was justified? After all these years of marriage, Zhao Yunxiang believed she had done her duty to everyone in the Zhou family, except for her two children.
Because she cared about her reputation and refused to argue with her mother-in-law, she gave all the money Zhou Zhixin sent home every month to Wu Jinfeng, leaving her two children to suffer from hunger and hunger. Because she cared about her reputation and wanted to be a daughter-in-law praised by everyone in the village, she ended up taking good care of her parents-in-law, but let her two children suffer from bullying in places where she could not see...
Zhao Yunxiang didn't want to go on like this anymore. She desperately wanted to change everything. She wanted to ask Zhou Zhixin in person what he planned to do with the three of them. The three of them didn't want to stay with the Zhou family, who were so cruel and ruthless.
If...if Zhou Zhixin still wants to persuade her to come back and fulfill her filial duties, then she, Zhao Yunxiang, will not accompany him any longer. In the future, let Zhou Zhixin fulfill his filial duties.
Zhao Yunxiang made up her mind and stopped worrying about Wu Jinfeng and Zhou Zhimei. She took Zhou Yuanyuan to bed. After a busy day, she felt really tired. She wanted to take advantage of this time to relax and recuperate. Maybe there would be a tough battle tonight!
Zhao Yunxiang knew Wu Jinfeng's character very well. Once money was involved, she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
Zhou Yuanyuan had just woken up and didn't want to sleep at all. However, looking at her mother's peaceful sleeping face, Zhou Yuanyuan was willing to lie down with Zhao Yunxiang for a while.
In the east wing, Wu Jinfeng was cursing and telling Zhou Chunping that Zhao Yunxiang was unwilling to pay for the medical expenses.
Zhou Chunping was nearly driven to death by his unreliable wife. Didn't he see Zhou Zhimei's feet getting more and more swollen? Instead of rushing to the hospital, the old woman hounded Zhao Yunxiang for money. What did Wang Xiaoqiang think?
"That's enough, shut up!" Zhou Chunping roared, successfully blocking Wu Jinfeng's next curse.
Wu Jinfeng followed Zhou Chunping's gaze and glanced at Wang Xiaoqiang. Only then did she realize that the Zhou family today was not the same as before. Her son-in-law was watching! How could she let him see her throwing a tantrum?
"Big brother, Chunjiao, you two go to Hongming's house and borrow a cart. Second brother, Dahua, you two take the bed quilt and spread it on the cart. We will send Zhimei to the hospital in town later." When Wu Jinfeng was not throwing a tantrum, she was still organized in arranging things.
Zhou Zhigang and Li Chunjiao agreed and went out. Gu Dahua opened her mouth and was about to ask why they had to get the quilt from their family instead of asking her eldest brother's family?
Zhou Zhiqiang grabbed Gu Dahua and pulled her back home.
"Zhiqiang, why don't you let me speak? Mom is so partial. When something goes wrong, it's always our turn." Gu Dahua was very dissatisfied. A quilt costs a lot of money! I gave it to Zhou Zhimei to put on the cart, and it's not dirty when I come back?
"Stupid woman, don't you see the child's uncle is here? If people misunderstand that we don't care about my little sister's life or death, will Jiajie still want others to support him in the future?" Zhou Zhiqiang was very disappointed. Women are so short-sighted that they only focus on the little benefits in front of them.
Gu Dahua suddenly understood. No wonder Zhiqiang could squeeze money out of the old woman; his brain was really quick. When Zhou Jiajie grew up and wanted to move to the city or find a job, wouldn't he need help from his aunt and uncle who lived there?
I don’t know if other people in the Zhou family had the same idea as Zhou Zhiqiang. After Zhou Zhigang and his wife borrowed the cart, a group of people in the Zhou family, including the children, followed Zhou Zhimei to the hospital.
To Zhao Yunxiang's surprise, when Zhou Zhimei returned home that evening, no one from the Zhou family came to bother her. Even Wu Jinfeng, upon returning home and seeing Zhao Yunxiang, simply glared coldly, without asking for medical expenses.
The Zhou family's unexpected understanding and sensibility made Zhou Yuanyuan smell something unusual. Only Zhao Yunxiang thought Wu Jinfeng had figured out the reason for Zhou Zhimei's injury and let it go.
