Xiaojiu must be terrified by the Zhou family old lady's behavior, Zhao Guohui thought.
"Oh~ my little Jiuer, why are you crying? Are you missing your uncle?" Zhao Guohui thought of the suffering his niece had suffered, and his heart ached. He squatted down and teased his niece.
Today, Zhou Yuanyuan wore a bright red, thick-knitted sweater with an open collar. Zhao Yunxiang, with her deft hands, had knitted a stylish little lapel. The edge of the lapel had been embroidered with a dogtooth lace pattern using white cashmere yarn, making the little girl's round face look as adorable as a red apple.
When Zhou Yuanyuan was born, she was chubby and weighed nine pounds, so Zhao Qingshan gave her the nickname Xiaojiu.
Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't as chubby as she was when she was little. Her round face had become slimmer, and beneath her arched eyebrows were a pair of large, dark, almond-shaped eyes. When the girl focused on something, her eyes seemed misty, adding a touch of tenderness.
"Uncle, hug me." Zhou Yuanyuan stretched out her hands to show her affection for Zhao Guohui. Every time she went to her grandfather's house, her grandfather and uncle loved to tease her, making her believe that she was their favorite baby.
Nestled in Zhao Guohui's broad chest, feeling the warmth from his body, Zhou Yuanyuan felt very safe at that moment.
After standing there for so long, Zhou Yuanyuan felt cold and tired. If she wasn't worried about her mother, she would have wanted to go back to her room and have a good sleep.
"Ah! Why is Yuanyuan so hot?" Zhao Guohui was holding the soft and cute little person and felt something was wrong. He reached out and touched her. The temperature of Zhou Yuanyuan's forehead scared him.
I have a fever!
Nowadays, there are many cases of people becoming idiots due to fever that does not go away.
Zhao Yunxiang and Zhao Guohui were so anxious that they didn't care about Zhou Chunping who was smiling beside them. They picked up Yuanyuan and rushed out the door.
Zhao Yunxiang took Yuanyuan from Zhao Guohui's hands, tears streaming down her face.
It was all because of her useless mother that the child suffered. It was early in the morning, and the child wasn't well yet, but she insisted on staying by her side, worried that she would get hurt. How could she not notice that something was wrong with Yuanyuan? It would have been better if her mother-in-law had just been nitpicking, ignoring her, but why was she so busy arguing with her mother-in-law? If anything happened to Yuanyuan, she...she would rather die than live.
Zhou Yuanyuan's face flushed red, and she felt extremely at ease when she smelled the fragrance from Zhao Yunxiang's body.
God was merciful and let her live again, see her mother and uncle. Even if she died now, she would have gained something.
Zhou Yuanyuan smiled foolishly, and her hand that was holding the corner of Zhao Yunxiang's clothes gradually loosened, and she fell into a coma.
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan!" Zhao Yunxiang was horrified, and her voice became a little shrill.
"Sister, get on the bike quickly." Zhao Guohui rode his bicycle and caught up with Zhao Yunxiang who was running.
Zhao Yunxiang gathered her strength and jumped onto the back of the bicycle. If she had just run on her own two legs, she wouldn't know how long it would take her to reach town.
When Zhou Chunping saw Zhao Yunxiang and her brother running away with Yuanyuan in their arms, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly exclaimed, "Oh no!"
After the third daughter-in-law and her brother-in-law made such a fuss, Zhou Chunping saw several neighbors sticking their heads out to watch the fun. It was over, it was over. Now, his Zhou family would be the talk of the whole village.
Miaomiao's story of pushing her cousin into the water at such a young age, with such a vicious heart, can no longer be concealed. Who would still associate with their family in this situation?
Zhou Chunping had always been an enviable figure in Zhoujia Village. Even the village chief would give him some respect. But if this scandal got out, how would Zhou Chunping stand up straight in front of those farmers?
Zhou Chunping was extremely anxious.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Wu Jinfeng asked hurriedly when she saw Zhou Chunping's face suddenly become very ugly.
Zhou Chunping's face was long, and he didn't want to answer Wu Jinfeng's somewhat foolish question. The matter was obvious, but the old woman didn't think about it, just asking questions. She was really a village woman with long hair and short knowledge.
What happened? Zhou Chunping considered the entire Zhou family, and only someone as short-sighted as the old woman kept holding on to that incident.
Xiaojiu fainted today, so as a grandfather, he has to spend some money to buy medical treatment, medicine and supplements for the child to stop the villagers from gossiping.
Zhou Chunping felt indescribable pain when he thought about losing a stack of the hundred yuan he had saved with great difficulty.
"Second Brother, Second Brother's family, Miaomiao, come out for a moment." Zhou Chunping grew increasingly angry as he thought about it, and he shouted. In his opinion, Second Brother's family all deserved to be punished. Second Brother was lazy as hell, and his wife had even more shallow eyes than the old woman. They raised two children, the elder one was mean-spirited, the younger one was timid. What a fate Zhou Chunping had! He had to have this unremarkable son, Second Brother.
"Old man, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Wu Jinfeng was startled when she saw Zhou Chunping's eyes wide open, his mouth open and breathing loudly.
"Ahem...bah! It's all your fault!" Zhou Chunping coughed up a mouthful of phlegm, then glared at Wu Jinfeng and cursed, "You old bitch, all you do all day is gossip about other people's affairs. You don't even know how to manage your own children and grandchildren. Look at the second child, look at Miaomiao, how crooked they are!"
Wu Jinfeng lowered her head, curled her lips, and said nothing.
Wu Jinfeng didn't dare to provoke Zhou Chunping when he was furious.
Wu Jinfeng knew that the old man was cruel and ruthless. When Zhou Chunping was young, he was a ruffian. In Daxing City, if it weren't for his grandfather's protection, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
It was also her fault for not having good taste back then. A city guy like Zhou Chunping liked her, so she happily married him.
After getting married, Wu Jinfeng was beaten several times before she realized Zhou Chunping's true nature. On several occasions, the beatings were so severe that Wu Jinfeng could hardly get out of bed.
It was not until he moved to Zhoujia Village that Zhou Chunping began to have some reservations and stopped being as violent as before.
"Dad, you called me?" Zhou Zhiqiang walked out of the room in disheveled clothes. His slow and leisurely appearance made Zhou Chunping's anger rush to his head.
"Look at you, you're almost thirty, and all you do is eat and sleep!" Zhou Chunping scolded. Back then, when his grandfather was still alive, he, Zhou Chunping, was a figure who could walk sideways in Daxing City. What a pity... After his grandfather died, the Zhou family had no successor, even the promising third son...
No, you can't think like that. Zhou Chunping shook his head and shook the thought out of his mind.
"Dad, it's so early in the morning and there is no work waiting for me to do at home. What else can I do if I don't sleep?" Zhou Zhiqiang grumbled dissatisfiedly.
Zhou Zhiqiang had long been dissatisfied with his father. Zhou Chunping was a rough man who ate his meals and went to work every day, not caring about the family affairs at all. Even if the oil bottle fell, he would not lend a hand to help. When it came to disciplining the children at home, he only had to beat them.
