Among the entire Zhou family, only the third branch of the family, Zhou Zhixin's direct relatives, did not benefit from Zhou Zhixin at all.
Whenever Wu Jinfeng went shopping, Zhao Yunxiang and her daughters were never given a share. Even when the rest of the Zhou family was happily enjoying themselves, if Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng even glanced at them for a moment, Wu Jinfeng would scold them for a long time.
This time, Yuanyuan was pushed into the water by Miaomiao, Zhou Zhiqiang's daughter, and fell ill with a high fever. No one in the Zhou family, except Zhou Chunping and Wu Jinfeng, went to the hospital to see her. Even Wu Jinfeng was forced to go to the hospital that time by Zhou Chunping.
The rest of the Zhou family, including Zhou Miaomiao, who caused Yuanyuan's illness, and her parents, Zhou Zhiqiang and Gu Dahua, acted as if nothing had happened and didn't even step foot in the hospital door. Not to mention paying for Yuanyuan's medical treatment.
"Mom, if grandpa didn't help us pay the money, and we owed the hospital money, would we be arrested by the police?" Looking at Zhao Yunxiang who seemed to be thinking about something, Zhou Yuanyuan continued to pretend to be innocent.
Most people in the countryside are simple and honest. When educating their children, they teach them to be clean and not to steal other people's things. Even if a thief is beaten to death, his death is in vain. They also teach their children not to borrow money from others casually. If you don't pay back the money you borrow, you will be arrested by the police.
Zhou Yuanyuan's childish words made Zhao Yunxiang stunned again.
Over the years, all the money Zhou Zhixin sent back was squandered by Wu Jinfeng. If it weren't for the support of her father and brother from her mother's family, who knows what life would have been like for the three of them. The clothes, shoes, and socks they wore, the meat and fish that occasionally appeared on the table, were all sent by her mother's family.
What would Zhao Yunxiang do if she didn't have her parents to rely on?
For the first time, Zhao Yunxiang realized that she was a bit too noble. Money is not everything, but without money, you can't do anything.
In life, from eating to drinking to defecating to urinating, which of these needs money? Once your child gets sick, money is spent like water. No money for medical treatment? Just wait for death!
Zhao Yunxiang hugged her daughter, feeling a little scared. Yuanyuan's fever was so severe this time, if she didn't go to the hospital, she might...
Thinking of the terrible consequences, Zhao Yunxiang couldn't help but shudder. As a mother of two children, Zhao Yunxiang could not think about herself, but she couldn't help but think more about her children.
Over the years, Zhao Yunxiang has become accustomed to the support from her mother's family and does not value Zhou Zhixin's money very much.
In Zhao Yunxiang's subconscious mind, she believed that Zhou Zhixin was Wu Jinfeng's son, and it was her duty to respect Wu Jinfeng.
Not long after Zhao Yunxiang got married, Wu Jinfeng made a scene and demanded money, which made Zhao Yunxiang feel upset.
Wu Jinfeng gave birth to Zhou Zhixin and had the right to expect him to be filial to her. As his wife, Zhao Yunxiang subconsciously felt that she should be more assertive and not spend Zhou Zhixin's money.
At that time, Zhao Yunxiang had no children yet and thought that as long as she had two hands, she could live well even without Zhou Zhixin's money.
Over the years, the birth of two children has made Zhao Yunxiang's burden heavier. Zhao Yunxiang is proud, and without Wu Jinfeng's consent, Zhao Yunxiang still doesn't want to spend a penny on Zhou Zhixin.
A phone call with her daughter Yuanyuan made Zhao Yunxiang realize that Zhou Zhixin was not only Wu Jinfeng's son, but also her husband, and the father of Yuanyuan and Jiasheng.
A man should earn money to support the family. Even if Zhao Yunxiang didn't need to spend Zhou Zhixin's money, what about the children? She couldn't always rely on her father and brother to help raise her children, right?
Zhou Yuanyuan's advice finally brought Zhao Yunxiang to her senses. The money Zhou Zhixin sent back to support the family was best spent by the three of them, mother and son.
Zhou Zhixin was the closest person to them. It was natural for a man to earn money to support his wife and children. Why should they watch those "outsiders" spend Zhou Zhixin's hard-earned money while they had to suffer?
Just then, within two days, Zhou Zhixin sent the money back.
The postman directly gave the remittance slip to Zhao Guohui. Before, when Zhao Guohui was in town, he would go directly to the post office to withdraw money and send it to his sister.
Zhao Yunxiang took the money that Zhao Guohui helped her retrieve, and for the first time she had no intention of giving it to Wu Jinfeng.
Zhao Yunxiang took out a few dollars and paid back the money Zhao Qingshan had paid in advance to the hospital.
Zhao Qingshan waved his hand and refused. Zhao Qingshan himself had money and didn't feel bad about spending it on his children. However, seeing that Zhao Yunxiang had figured it out, Zhao Qingshan couldn't help but feel happy.
Zhao Qingshan just found out a few days ago that his daughter had never spent the money sent back by her son-in-law in all these years after her marriage. All the money was snatched away by the unreasonable old woman in the Zhou family.
Yes, it’s about robbing! Zhao Qingshan thought so.
Before she got married, Zhao Qingshan was proud of Zhao Yunxiang's gentleness and virtue.
Before their marriage, Zhao Yunxiang had little money to spend at her parents' house. She earned a small fortune sewing clothes for others year-round. Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Guohui's clothes, shoes, and socks were all made by Zhao Yunxiang. Although they couldn't get new ones often, they were always cleaned by Zhao Yunxiang. Even when patches were applied, they were sewn neatly with matching cloth.
After getting married, Zhao Yunxiang hasn't bought anything for her father and younger brother for many years. Even when she goes back to her parents' home, she only goes once a year during the Chinese New Year, and she is always in a hurry.
Zhao Qingshan felt a little disappointed, but he thought that his daughter had a child and a family, so she should be more frugal with her money.
Zhao Qingshan knew how much his son-in-law Zhou Zhixin earned monthly. Zhou Zhixin had also promised Zhao Qingshan that he would treat Yunxiang well after marriage and that all his earnings would go to Yunxiang. Zhou Zhixin had already disclosed to Zhao Qingshan how much he gave Zhao Yunxiang each month before the marriage, so Zhao Qingshan hadn't considered that Zhao Yunxiang couldn't afford a gift because she was short of money.
Zhao Qingshan thought Zhao Yunxiang was reluctant to spend money after having a child, so he would try to buy some daily necessities for his daughter. After all, he had a son and a daughter, so he was willing to spend the money on either of them.
A few days ago, Zhao Guohui told Zhao Qingshan about the situation at his sister's home, which made this rough man sit at the head of the bed and cry silently all night.
The Zhou family was such a pitfall! His daughter, a beautiful girl, was treated like a slave by her mother-in-law after she married into the family. Even the money her husband gave her to support the family was snatched away by her cruel mother-in-law.
Zhao Yunxiang had no idea what was going through her father's mind. So many thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant. Seeing that Zhao Qingshan refused to accept her money, she couldn't help but get anxious.
"Dad, I'm lending you this money for emergency use. If you don't want it, I, I..."
Zhao Qingshan looked at his daughter who was about to cry, was silent for a while, nodded, and took the money from Zhao Yunxiang's hand.
Yunxiang's life is not easy! He doesn't want this money, and who knows what the old woman from the Zhou family will do. Yunxiang is a docile person. Even if she has money in her hands, she doesn't know how long she can keep it.
Zhao Qingshan sighed. He regretted not teaching his daughter to be more aggressive in the past. Life is not easy for a woman without a husband to protect her!
