Zhou Yuanyuan was so scared that she burst into tears.
Seeing Zhou Jiasheng's face covered in blood, Zhou Jinfeng didn't scold Zhou Jiaqin for bullying. Instead, she kept scolding Yuanyuan and her sister for being troublemakers. Zhou Jiaqin liked the clay pot, so why not just give it to him? They had to make such a fuss, it gave her a headache.
Seeing that blood was constantly oozing from Zhou Jiasheng's face, Zhou Jinfeng was reluctant to take money out of her pocket to take Zhou Jiasheng to the clinic for bandaging. She just took out a handful of soot from under the stove and smeared it on Zhou Jiasheng's face.
The bleeding stopped, but Zhou Jiasheng's face was ruined. After the wounds healed, Zhou Jiasheng had two hideous scars on his face.
After Zhou Jiasheng's face was disfigured, he became a notorious ugly man. Some younger children in the village would be scared and cry when they saw Zhou Jiasheng.
After his disfigurement, Zhou Jiasheng became increasingly self-deprecating. After four years of elementary school, he dropped out due to teasing and ridicule from his classmates and returned to Zhoujia Village to farm.
Then, Zhou Zhixin recovered from the army and returned home. Not long after, Zhou Zhixin died, naked in the woman's home.
After Zhou Zhixin was buried, Zhao Yunxiang went crazy. She hugged Zhou Zhixin's clothes every day, crying and laughing.
God is blind. The woman did something bad but returned to the city.
Zhou Jiasheng's personality became more and more withdrawn. Sometimes he would just sit alone without saying a word the whole day.
A few years later, the woman returned to Sanhe Town. When Zhou Jiasheng heard about it, he secretly put a kitchen knife in his pocket and ran to settle the score with the woman.
The woman was stabbed several times by Zhou Jiasheng. Although she did not die, her face was disfigured.
Zhou Jiasheng was arrested by the Public Security Bureau and sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
Fifteen years later, Zhou Yuanyuan never saw Zhou Jiasheng released from prison. One day, the man, while drunk, let slip that Zhou Jiasheng had died in prison years earlier.
From that moment on, Zhou Yuanyuan lost all desire to live. With her entire family dead and her life all to herself, what was the point?
Now, the river shrimps are still there, the clay pot has not broken, and at this moment, brother Zhou Jiasheng's face is still smooth. Brother Zhou Jiasheng looks like his father, with thick black eyebrows, double eyelids, and a high nose bridge. Anyone who sees him will praise Zhou Jiasheng as a handsome little boy.
Thinking of her brother in her previous life, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a trace of sadness in her heart and tears couldn't help but overflow from her eyes.
"Sister, are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Jiasheng hurriedly put down the earthenware jar in his hand, took out a small handkerchief from his pocket, and helped Zhou Yuanyuan wipe her tears.
"It's not sad, brother, I just miss you." Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head, tears streaming down her face. Her brother should have had a bright future, but because of her, his sister, his life was ruined.
In this life, she, as a younger sister, will make up for her brother's past life debt. She, Zhou Yuanyuan, will become strong and protect all those who care about her and whom she also cares about.
"You cry all day long. You've cried away all your blessings." As soon as Wu Jinfeng entered the room, she saw Zhou Yuanyuan crying and felt unhappy.
Wu Jinfeng had no desire to visit Zhou Yuanyuan in town, but the old man had said that since her granddaughter was in the hospital, she, as a grandmother, had to go visit her so that the Zhao family wouldn't find fault. If Wu Jinfeng didn't do as he said, he might get angry and beat her.
Wu Jinfeng came to the town with a stern face, and deliberately went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bag of tzaozigao, and brought it to the hospital.
The supply and marketing cooperative was Zhao Guohui's domain. When Wu Jinfeng bought the tiaozi cake, she practically banged on the drums and gongs, saying she was buying it to visit her granddaughter in the hospital. "Huh? Who's my granddaughter? She's the niece of Zhao Guohui, the head of your supply and marketing cooperative!"
Wu Jinfeng had a beautiful idea. She planned to take the cao gao to visit Zhou Yuanyuan, and then take it back to Zhoujia Village to share it with her grandchildren, so that her fifty cents would be worth it.
Walking into the hospital and seeing the bright and clean ward, Wu Jinfeng automatically calculated in her mind how much it would cost to stay there for one night. Such a clean and spacious place must be very expensive! Hiss~ Thinking of Zhou Yuanyuan having stayed here for two days, Wu Jinfeng's back teeth ached.
So when Wu Jinfeng saw Zhou Yuanyuan, she found her annoying no matter how she looked at her.
"Mother-in-law, can you speak? If you can't, call your husband over. If it weren't for my rule not to hit women, I'd give you a slap!" Zhao Qingshan walked in with a fierce look on his face. When he saw Wu Jinfeng outside just now, he knew something was up. Zhou Chunping, that woman, loved to bully people at home. The whole Zhou family was in turmoil because of her.
Wu Jinfeng flinched at the sight of Zhao Qingshan's rage. If Zhou Chunping hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known how powerful Zhao Qingshan's father-in-law was. Even the county magistrate was so polite to Zhao Qingshan, much more so than her own Dabao.
Wu Jinfeng is a realistic person. She looks down on those who are not as good as the Zhou family. But she will honestly look up to those who are far better than the Zhou family.
"Grandma, is this bag of caozigao for my sister? Thank you, grandma." Seeing Wu Jinfeng in a daze, Zhou Jiasheng hurriedly took the bag of caozigao from her hand.
Zhou Jiasheng himself wasn't greedy, but seeing Wu Jinfeng's distressed expression, he decided to let his sister have a few more pieces later. Even if the trough cake wasn't tasty, it was worth it if it could make the old witch feel bad.
"This...this..." Wu Jinfeng held it in for a long time, and did not dare to say in front of Zhao Qingshan that she planned to take the bag of tiaozi cake back later.
Seeing Zhou Jiasheng skillfully removing the wrapping paper from the caozigao and he and Zhou Yuanyuan stuffing a piece into each other's mouths, Wu Jinfeng's heart almost bled.
"Mother-in-law, Yuanyuan isn't feeling well. I'm asking Yunxiang to take the child back to Zhaojiagou to live for a while and take good care of her," Zhao Qingshan announced domineeringly. His daughter and granddaughter were both incredibly thin; how could he not nourish them?
"What? No, now that Zhao Yunxiang is gone, who will help me wash clothes? Who will help me cook?" Wu Jinfeng objected loudly.
Over the years, Wu Jinfeng's housework was basically done by Zhao Yunxiang. Thinking of the cold weather and getting out of the warm bed early every morning to cook breakfast, Wu Jinfeng felt miserable.
"Your Zhou family only has one son and one daughter?" Zhao Qingshan laughed angrily.
"Who said that? I, Wu Jinfeng, have given birth to three sons and a daughter. Everyone in Zhoujia Village says I'm blessed with a belly!" Wu Jinfeng retorted immediately. In this day and age, having many children and grandchildren is a sign of great happiness, and Wu Jinfeng has always been proud of her success in raising children.
"That's it? Your Zhou family still has two other daughters-in-law! Without Yunxiang, your Zhou family will be in trouble?" Zhao Qingshan said with a sneer.
Wu Jinfeng was silent. Having seen Zhao Qingshan's furious side, Wu Jinfeng didn't dare to say that she usually only ordered Zhao Yunxiang around. It had been who knows how many years since her other two daughters-in-law had been involved in her household affairs.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng snickered on the sidelines. Grandpa is so awesome! Grandpa vs. the old witch, Grandpa wins!
