"Mom, mom, does it hurt? Does it hurt?" Before Zhao Yunxiang could stand up from the ground, Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng supported Zhao Yunxiang's arms on the left and right.
Zhou Yuanyuan regretted leaving her mother and going to the kitchen with her brother to make breakfast. If she and her brother were here, her uncle would definitely not have dared to push her mother.
The door of Zhou Yuanyuan's small kitchen was facing the well where Zhao Yunxiang washed clothes. Zhou Yuanyuan stood in the small kitchen and looked out. What she saw was Zhao Yunxiang sitting down on the ground. As for whether Zhou Zhigang took action, neither Zhou Yuanyuan nor Zhou Jiasheng saw it.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan knew the nature of the Zhou family. No matter whether it was right or wrong, she would first put a accusation on the other party so that she could be invincible.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Zhou Zhigang was full of apologies. If he had spoken out loud before getting the clothes, Zhao Yunxiang would have noticed it and would not have been splashed with dirty water in her eyes, and she would not have fallen. In the final analysis, it was his fault.
"Zhao Yunxiang, are you made of flowers? How could you get hurt if you fell from such a high place? Dabao, ignore her. This woman is Qiao Qing." Wu Jinfeng's vicious mode was fully activated. Seeing her eldest son being questioned by a little girl like Zhou Yuanyuan, Wu Jinfeng's heart was full of fighting energy.
"It's okay, I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while." Zhao Yunxiang heard her mother-in-law's voice and quickly responded.
"Hmph! You didn't even wash a few clothes this morning, you useless piece of shit." Wu Jinfeng saw the scattered dirty clothes in the basin, and her heart was pounding with anger. She felt guilty for causing her eldest daughter-in-law to be beaten by her eldest son that morning, and she seemed to want to make amends with Zhao Yunxiang.
"Chunjiao, take our clothes and wash them yourself." Zhou Zhigang shouted, scaring Li Chunjiao and Gu Dahua who were watching the fun.
"You old woman, all you do is gossip all day long. You don't even know how to wash clothes. You're so lazy!" Zhou Zhigang's face was extremely gloomy. All morning, because of his mother's fault, the whole family was in chaos. He couldn't hold back his anger anymore, so he had to take it out on his wife.
"Oh." Li Chunjiao had just been beaten, and she didn't dare to confront Zhou Zhigang. She had no choice but to obediently pick up the few dirty clothes left in the basin and walk to the front yard. There was a ditch at the entrance of the front yard, which was very convenient for washing clothes.
A group of people came and went in a hurry. Zhao Yunxiang listened to the group of people leaving, wiped the tears from her eyes, and opened her eyes.
"Mom, are you okay?"
What Zhao Yunxiang saw was a pair of concerned children.
"It's okay, soapy water got into my eyes just now, it's fine now." Zhao Yunxiang blinked again, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked carefully and found that Zhao Yunxiang's eyes were clear and there was indeed no foreign matter, so she felt relieved.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng carefully helped Zhao Yunxiang up from the ground. After taking two steps, Zhao Yunxiang felt that there was nothing wrong with her legs and feet.
"Come on, Mom will make you some frangipani." Zhao Yunxiang was actually quite happy that the bra issue had been resolved in such a bizarre way. She was really worried that after washing the bra, there would be only one coat left, which would be embarrassing for Zhao Yunxiang whether she washed it or not.
More importantly, if Li Chunjiao knew about Zhou Zhigang's affairs, she would definitely put the blame of "knowing about it but not reporting it" on Zhao Yunxiang.
Zhao Yunxiang dragged her two children into their small kitchen. Zhao Qingshan had packed a huge pile of food for them yesterday after returning from Zhaojiagou. Sixty eggs alone were in the bag. Even if they ate eggs every day, the two children would have enough for a month.
Zhao Yunxiang felt a sharp pain in her heart when she recalled the time her mother-in-law pointed at her face and called her a "thief" because of an egg. She swore that from now on, she would never take a penny from her mother-in-law.
Every time Zhao Yunxiang returns to her parents' home, she shares some of the things she brings back with her mother-in-law. Yesterday, Wu Jinfeng caused a scene in the warehouse in front of everyone, and Zhao Yunxiang was a little angry. She won't give her the eggs or anything this time.
Zhao Yunxiang worked efficiently and soon, steam was rising from the pot.
Just now, when Zhao Yunxiang was washing clothes, she heard the noise coming from the east wing, but Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng stopped her, so she couldn't go to the east wing to break up the fight.
To be precise, it was Zhou Yuanyuan's words that dissuaded Zhao Yunxiang from going to the east wing.
Zhou Yuanyuan said with a serious face, "Mom, what's it to you to interfere in my uncle and aunt's affairs? My grandpa and grandma are watching them!"
Yes! In this family, the three branches, including Zhao Yunxiang, were all marginal figures. They had no right to express their opinions on the affairs of the Zhou family, nor did they have the right to speak for anyone. Even if Zhao Yunxiang went to mediate, others would think she was just there to watch the fun. Why bother asking for trouble?
Zhao Yunxiang had a rough idea of Zhou Zhigang's intentions in rushing into the backyard. Ever since she'd found the pink bra in her pocket, Zhao Yunxiang's mind had been in a state of flux. She'd assumed the bra belonged to Zhou Zhiqiang. After all, of the three men in the Zhou family, Zhou Zhiqiang was the most cunning and the sweetest-tongued. It would have been easy for a man like him to deceive one or two ignorant women.
Zhao Yunxiang heard everything from Zhou Zhigang rushing to the backyard to grabbing his clothes, but she didn't move, thinking it was none of her business. Even with dirty water in her eyes, Zhao Yunxiang closed her eyes and heard the sound of Zhou Zhigang taking things out of his pockets and putting them in.
After the initial stinging in her eyes wore off, her tears had already washed the soapy water out. It wasn't that Zhao Yunxiang couldn't open her eyes, but she didn't dare.
Of the three Zhou brothers, Zhou Zhigang was the most honest. Though dull, he was a skilled worker and possessed a knack for dealing with people. Otherwise, when the village accountant retired a few years ago, Zhou Zhigang wouldn't have been able to take over.
After discovering the secret in the clothes bag, Zhao Yunxiang secretly speculated that she even suspected her father-in-law Zhou Chunping, but she did not suspect Zhou Zhigang.
After Zhou Zhigang became the village accountant, among the many women in Zhoujia Village, there were one or two sneaky women who set their sights on Zhou Zhigang, hoping to use their bodies in exchange for Zhou Zhigang's ability to score more centimeters.
Zhou Zhigang was always rude to women like him. There was a widow who forced him to have an affair with her, or else she would tell the whole village about it. Seeing that the widow was difficult to get rid of, Zhou Zhigang took his wife, Li Chunjiao, to the widow's house. In front of the widow, Zhou Zhigang said that the person he loved most in his life was his wife, and told the widow to give up.
Li Chunjiao was so moved that she burst into tears. After returning home, she cooked several meals of white flour for Zhou Zhigang. But only Zhou Zhigang got some, while Li Chunjiao and her children did not get any.
After hearing what Zhou Zhigang said, the widow felt ashamed to stay in Zhoujia Village. A month later, she hurriedly married and moved to another place.
Could such an honest uncle really have unfaithful thoughts? Zhao Yunxiang doubted it.
