Zhou Zhigang put one hand in his coat pocket, tightly grasping the slightly damp bra. With his heart pounding wildly, he returned to his room and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Li Chunjiao went outside to do laundry. Her daughter Zhou Meimei and second son Zhou Jiaqin also disappeared after Li Chunjiao ran out of the room. As for her eldest son Zhou Jiaxing, he went to town yesterday, claiming to be visiting friends, and didn't return all night.
Zhou Zhigang touched the thing in his pocket and felt more at ease.
Fortunately, his secret was discovered by Zhao Yunxiang in just a short moment.
Or maybe Zhao Yunxiang had already discovered it but was pretending not to know? No, no, Zhou Zhigang saw it clearly. The piece of clothing was placed among the dirty clothes that had not been washed. Zhao Yunxiang probably hadn't washed it yet.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhigang calmed down.
It was also his fault for being too careless! Things had been going so smoothly during this period that Zhou Zhigang had lost his usual vigilance.
This year, the distribution of grain in Zhoujia Village started with the sixth team. Yesterday it was the turn of the first team, which was already the last group in the village. That woman must be anxious, right?
Zhou Zhigang thought of last night's indulgence, and his heart was burning. The girls in the city are really good at playing, they have all kinds of tricks, tut tut tut...
Zhou Zhigang had been having so much fun last night that he forgot the bra he had ripped off that woman was in his coat pocket when he left. When he woke up in the morning and saw his coat was gone, his first thought was: Oh no, Li Chunjiao found it?
Now, the "missing" bra was finally back in his hands, and Zhou Zhigang finally put down the heart that had been in his throat.
To be honest, although Li Chunjiao was a bit ugly, Zhou Zhigang had no intention of changing his wife. In rural areas, except for women who could not have children, generally speaking, once a man and a woman got married, they would live together for life.
It's Wu Jinfeng's fault for only caring about finding a capable wife and the benefits her relatives could bring to the family. She didn't even consider Zhou Zhigang's "eye candy." What man doesn't love beauty? Haven't you seen the men in the production team glancing at the pretty young wives while they were working?
Due to Zhao Yunxiang's deliberate concealment, the bra incident did not cause any aftermath in the Zhou family.
But from that day on, whenever Zhao Yunxiang saw Zhou Zhigang, she would subconsciously avoid him. A man who pretended to be honest but did the most dishonest things was terrifying to Zhao Yunxiang.
Fortunately, the three Zhou brothers had long since separated, and it was normal for the families not to see each other for several days. Zhao Yunxiang's actions did not arouse suspicion from others, except Zhou Yuanyuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan had always wondered if Zhao Yunxiang had seen something terrifying that day. Otherwise, why had she been having nightmares in the middle of the night for the past few nights?
However, such things were considered adult gossip, and it was just Zhao Yunxiang's speculation. So no matter how Zhou Yuanyuan asked, Zhao Yunxiang would not reveal a single word to a six-year-old.
After asking a few times, Zhou Yuanyuan stopped asking. Knowing her mother's stubbornness, Zhou Yuanyuan had no choice but to be more vigilant. In her mind, she immediately labeled her uncle Zhou Zhigang a dangerous person.
After Zhou Yuanyuan and her brother returned to Zhoujia Village, they did the same as before in Zhaojiagou. They got up at dawn to practice boxing, and sat cross-legged in the room to practice internal skills at night.
Strangely enough, not long after starting her practice tonight, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a warm aura within her body. Remembering her grandfather, Zhao Qingshan, she hurriedly practiced the principle of "holding the essence and guarding the unity." Following the meridian path Zhao Qingshan had taught her, she let the hair-thin aura slowly flow through each acupuncture point.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhou Jiasheng had fallen asleep, and Zhao Yunxiang had also dozed off several times. Seeing Yuanyuan practicing, she looked very much like what her father, Zhao Qingshan, called "entering a state of meditation." Zhao Yunxiang did not dare to disturb Zhou Yuanyuan, so she had to lean against the head of the bed and watch over her.
The weather was cold, and Zhao Yunxiang soon felt very cold, so she had to put on another coat over the quilt to cover her upper body, leaving her face exposed.
At daybreak, Zhou Yuanyuan's qi had just completed a full cycle. She felt as if she had fallen into a mystical state: the sounds of grass struggling to push upward from beneath the soil, the rats feeding in the corner, the snoring of hens sleeping in the chicken coop, and the patter of Aunt Li's dog next door, paddling along the ground as it kept watch...all played out in her mind.
Not far away, the long crow of a rooster woke Zhou Yuanyuan from her meditation. When she opened her eyes, she found that a ray of morning light had already broken through the sky outside the window.
Zhao Yunxiang was lying on the bed, her upper body leaning against the bedpost, sound asleep. Most of the coat she was wearing had fallen off.
Her mother stayed by her side all night like this? Zhou Yuanyuan realized it later.
Zhou Yuanyuan got out of bed carefully and gently laid Zhao Yunxiang's body flat on the bed.
Even though she hadn't slept all night, Zhou Yuanyuan felt full of energy and wanted to do something.
After standing in the empty space of the room and doing some boxing, Zhou Yuanyuan's excited heart gradually calmed down. Looking at Zhao Yunxiang and Zhou Jiasheng sleeping soundly, Zhou Yuanyuan had no choice but to climb onto the bed and sleep next to Zhao Yunxiang.
Zhou Yuanyuan closed her eyes, the mysterious feeling she had just felt returning bit by bit. In the east wing, she could clearly hear the sounds of Zhou Zhiqiang grinding his teeth, Li Chunjiao snoring, and Zhou Miaomiao's lips smacking in her sleep.
