Zhou Zhixin frowned, jumped up from the bed, and was about to go out to see what was happening when Zhou Zhigang's voice called Zhou Chunping from outside the door: "Dad! Dad~!"
Zhou Zhixin felt relieved, and his tense muscles relaxed. He was glad it was a family member. It was so late, and Zhou Zhixin was worried some petty thief had sneaked into the Zhou family's house.
"Cough, cough, cough..." After a burst of heart-wrenching coughs, Zhou Chunping asked sullenly, "Zhigang, what's the matter?"
"Dad, it's about my third sister-in-law. She..." Zhou Zhigang spoke in a low voice. Zhou Zhixin pricked up his ears but couldn't hear what Zhou Zhigang said.
What happened to Yunxiang? Zhou Zhixin was a little stunned. Somehow, Zhou Zhixin felt very uncomfortable when he heard Zhou Zhigang mention Zhao Yunxiang's name.
Zhou Zhixin never expected that
In the dead of night, Zhou Zhigang went to Zhou Chunping to talk about Zhao Yunxiang. Why didn't his elder brother talk to him when he, the husband, was here?
"What? Zhao Yunxiang returned to the village in the evening? She returned to the village but didn't go into the house. What on earth does she want to do?" Zhou Chunping said angrily.
"Dad, don't worry. In my opinion, my third sister-in-law might have returned to the village for something, otherwise no one would have seen her enter Widow He's house." Zhou Zhigang persuaded softly.
"Ah~!? Widow He has such a bad reputation, and Zhao Yunxiang dares to approach her? No, I want to see what this woman is trying to do! Even if she has something to do with Widow He, it's already dark now, why hasn't she returned home? Don't embarrass our Zhou family!" Zhou Chunping sighed as if he was disappointed in his friend.
Widow He? Zhou Zhixin's heart skipped a beat. Widow He was a notorious flirt in Zhoujia Village, and it was said that she had lovers in several surrounding villages.
When did Yunxiang become so close to Widow He? Why did she go to Widow He's house instead of going home after returning to the village? Suddenly, Zhou Zhixin recalled the moment Zhou Daniu stopped him that morning and said his hat had changed color.
No! Yunxiang isn't that kind of person! Zhou Zhixin shook his head, as if shaking off any doubts in his heart. Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Yunxiang had been married for eight years and knew her character very well. Zhao Yunxiang wasn't the lazy, gluttonous person like Widow He. As the saying goes, "People with different ideals cannot work together." How could Zhao Yunxiang possibly be friends with Widow He?
While Zhou Zhixin was lost in thought, the front door creaked again. This time, two people were leaving. It seemed that Zhou Chunping and Zhou Zhigang were going to Widow He's house together.
Zhou Zhixin came to his senses, quickly opened the door and followed him out.
Regardless of the truth, now that he knew Yunxiang had returned to the village, Zhou Zhixin would definitely go and take Zhao Yunxiang home. We could talk about the rest tomorrow!
The moon is very round tonight. Under the moonlight, Zhou Zhixin can clearly see Zhou Chunping and Zhou Zhigang walking hurriedly.
Since Yunxiang had something to do with Widow He, she would go home after she was done. If I ran over like this, would Yunxiang think I didn't trust her? Zhou Zhixin hesitated and couldn't help but slow down his pace.
After Zhou Zhigang and Zhou Chunping walked for a while, they took the opportunity to turn and looked back. Where was Zhou Zhixin on the road?
"Dad, I didn't catch up." Zhou Zhigang gently reminded Zhou Chunping.
"Hmph! You little bastard, you have a cunning brain!" Zhou Chunping cursed.
"Dad, what should we do? Should we really go to Widow He's house?" Zhou Zhigang was a little hesitant. Widow He's house was already decorated with everything. If he missed this opportunity, who knows if there would be a next time?
"No! Let's go home first." Zhou Chunping hesitated for a few seconds and immediately made up his mind. What's the point of them going to Widow He's house if Zhou Zhixin didn't come with them? Besides, there's that kid Zhou Zhiqiang guarding Widow He's house!
No matter what, he had to get Zhou Zhixin to Widow He's house today. If the open approach didn't work, he'd try covertly. With the three of them, father and son, he didn't believe they couldn't handle a little bastard like Zhou Zhixin! Hehehehe! By then, wouldn't it be Zhou Chunping who had the final say?
Zhou Zhixin was extremely anxious. He took a shortcut and jumped a few times, finally walking ahead of Zhou Chunping and Zhou Zhigang, father and son.
Zhou Zhixin's skills are not comparable to those of Zhou Chunping and his son. He is determined to hide his figure, so he naturally has ways to avoid being discovered by Zhou Chunping and others.
Under the moonlight, a stealthy figure walked out of Widow He's house.
Zhou Daniu felt dizzy. He had heard so many secrets today that his mind was still a little confused.
First, the story of He Guafu's niece and Zhou Hongming made Zhou Daniu secretly envious. Zhou Daniu also knew He Guafu's niece, a female educated youth from the city, who always wore a high ponytail and was one of the most beautiful women in the village.
How could Zhou Hongming, this bastard, have such a good life? First it was the woman that night, then it was Widow He's niece. Zhou Daniu secretly spat, finally venting the anger in his heart.
After Zhou Hongming left, Widow He's niece stayed with him. Zhou Daniu stayed in the utility room and was so bored that he fell asleep.
When Zhou Daniu woke up, he heard the plan of a man and a woman in the next room and was almost scared to pee his pants.
Zhou Daniu was very familiar with the man's voice. It was Zhou Zhigang, the village accountant.
Too cruel! The people in the Zhou family are all ruthless. If you can't afford to offend them, just stay away. After Zhou Daniu realized this, he didn't dare to let anyone find him in the utility room next door.
There was nothing in the utility room except some jars and pots that Widow He had. Zhou Daniu was lucky today. By the evening, Widow He hadn't even entered the utility room to take anything.
After finishing her meal, Widow He packed up and left. When Widow He's niece next door fell silent, Zhou Daniu finally left Widow He's house with trembling legs. All day long, Zhou Daniu's stomach growled with hunger but he didn't dare to make a sound. Finally, he managed to sneak out.
With a "click", a stone flew from somewhere and hit Zhou Daniu's arm, causing him pain.
"Who?" Zhou Daniu was startled and asked in a low voice, looking around.
It was quiet all around, without a sound.
It was already around ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the villagers in Zhoujia Village had fallen asleep.
Zhou Daniu looked around in panic. It was quiet and there was no one in sight.
Was it an illusion? Zhou Daniu turned around and continued walking towards his home.
With a "click", another stone hit Zhou Daniu's arm. This time, the stone hit him harder than the last time. Zhou Daniu touched the place where he was hit and found a lump.
In the countryside, those who like to throw stones at others are usually children playing around. What other children would be hanging out outside in the dead of night?
