Today, Zhou Yuanyuan has a cute short hair parted in the middle, and an apple-shaped hairpin in front of her bangs, which makes her round face look even more adorable.
"Wait until Mom comes back and I'll go with my brother?" Wen Ziqing couldn't help but laugh when Zhou Yuanyuan glared at him. The little girl treated him like one of her own! She didn't hide any of her emotions. Although Wen Ziqing's face was still cold, he was actually beaming with joy.
"No," Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head. Mom's fish ball business had just opened. If she went to Zhaojiagou, wouldn't it be a waste of her uncle's kindness? Yuyuan Reservoir was close to Zhoujia Village, only about twenty miles away, but it was over a hundred miles away from Zhaojiagou.
Now that they've begun, Zhou Yuanyuan hopes Zhao Yunxiang can quickly earn her first pot of gold with the fish balls. Once Zhao Yunxiang has enough money, Zhou Yuanyuan will find a way to get her mother out of the Zhou family. Not a single one of the Zhou family, young or old, is a good person. Even the air they breathe under the same roof feels turbid to Zhou Yuanyuan.
Besides, she and her brother are not the "softies" like they were in their previous lives. If Zhou Jiaqin wants to bully them, he has to see if her and her brother's fists will agree.
After two rounds of competition with Zhou Jiaqin, Zhou Yuanyuan has a certain understanding of her own and her brother's fighting ability. It seems that the Zhou family now has these two siblings who can crush several of their cousins!
"Are you really not leaving? Grandpa misses you so much." Wen Ziqing put his hand on Zhou Yuanyuan's head again, stroking her hair again and again, like smoothing the fur of a frizzy kitten.
The grandfather Wen Ziqing is talking about is Zhao Qingshan. Since he became his apprentice, Wen Ziqing has followed Zhou Yuanyuan in calling Zhao Qingshan grandpa, which means he considers himself a member of the Zhou family.
Zhao Qingshan also happily accepted Wen Ziqing's address. In his opinion, Wen Ziqing was his future grandson-in-law, so it was normal to call him grandpa.
Zhao Qingshan taught Wen Ziqing everything he knew, passing on all the secrets of the Zhao family's martial arts. Even within a short time, Wen Ziqing's skills had already surpassed those of his own in his previous life, when he was in his twenties.
Zhou Yuanyuan felt like kitchen knives were flying towards Wen Ziqing. She hated it so much when someone touched her hair! Wen Ziqing's hands were always rubbing her head. It was so abominable!
"Brother Ziqing, don't mess up my sister's hair." Zhou Jiasheng couldn't stand it anymore. His sister's soft hair was about to be messed up by brother Ziqing. Didn't he see that his sister's face was red with anger?
After hearing Zhou Jiasheng's words, Wen Ziqing put down his hand awkwardly, but he felt a little reluctant in his heart. The furry feeling under his hand was very similar to the little kitten he had raised when he was a child. Unfortunately, that kitten was later...
"Brother Ziqing, can you stay and play with us today?" Zhou Jiasheng saw that Wen Ziqing looked like she was going to take her away. But how could they abandon her when her mother was here?
Although Zhou Jiasheng also likes to stay at his grandfather's house, unfortunately, his grandfather's house is not his own home. His mother once said that he and his sister both have the surname Zhou, and Zhoujia Village is their home.
Zhou Jiasheng was a filial child. Zhou Zhixin was busy in the army, so from the time he was born until he was eight, he had only met him four times. The other time, when he was still a baby, was something Zhou Jiasheng had no memory of.
Zhou Jiasheng learned from his mother Zhao Yunxiang that their father Zhou Zhixin was honest, kind, loved his work, and loved him and his sister very much.
Parents' words and deeds undoubtedly have the greatest influence on their children. Zhao Yunxiang's words successfully established the great image of his father Zhou Zhixin in Zhou Jiasheng's heart.
Zhou Zhixin's military uniform and straight figure were the most profound impressions he left on his son. Every time Zhou Zhixin came home, Zhou Jiasheng would jump for joy. His father's return meant more than just the candy and new clothes he brought back; it also reflected the warm and welcoming attitude shown to him by the Zhou family, young and old.
Little Zhou Jiasheng began to wonder why his grandparents and cousins were so kind to him and his sister when his father was home, but as soon as his father left, they all returned to their usual harshness. His grandmother's constant nitpicking and endless verbal abuse, his grandfather's indifferent expression, and his cousins' sudden attacks at the slightest disagreement all filled Zhou Jiasheng with a deep dislike for these "relatives" of the Zhou family.
How wonderful it would be if they had no relationship at all! Little Zhou Jiasheng even had such thoughts.
Zhou Jiasheng began to doubt what his mother, Zhao Yunxiang, had said. Didn't she say that their father loved them the most? Why was he never around when he and his sister were bullied? And since his mother worked so hard at home, why couldn't his father come home and help share some of the hardships of life?
Aside from his mother and sister, Zhou Jiasheng disliked everyone in the Zhou family. He even harbored a tinge of resentment towards his father, Zhou Zhixin. While other fathers protected their mothers and children, his father only had letters and remittance slips.
What's more, all the money his father sent was taken away by his grandmother. He and his sister were raised by their mother with great difficulty.
In the Zhou family, a family without humanity, Zhou Jiasheng, his mother and sister depend on each other for survival. He has become accustomed to considering his mother and sister first and himself last in everything he does.
"Brother Ziqing, do you want to stay?" Zhou Yuanyuan thought of Wen Ziqing's fighting ability and invited Wen Ziqing to stay in the Zhou family.
With Wen Ziqing as strong as an iceberg, that old witch Wu Jinfeng wouldn't dare to do anything rash, Zhou Yuanyuan thought.
Zhou Jiaqin fell and his face was covered in blood. Although Wu Jinfeng had temporarily calmed down, Zhou Yuanyuan knew that as soon as Wen Ziqing left, Wu Jinfeng would definitely bring up the old issue again. Wu Jinfeng would not be satisfied unless she got some advantage from the third wife for Zhou Jiaqin. Even if Zhao Yunxiang returned home, she might not be able to withstand Wu Jinfeng's unreasonable demands.
Therefore, for the sake of his own ears and wallet, Wen Ziqing, this iceberg god, should stay in the Zhou family!
Hehe~! Thinking of how Wu Jinfeng was frightened by Wen Ziqing's cold aura and walked away in shame, Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to laugh triumphantly in her heart.
"Okay." Wen Ziqing looked at the little girl with a cunning smile and agreed.
Huh? No need to act cute or coquettish, Bingshan agreed? Zhou Yuanyuan blinked, still a little unconvinced.
"Yeah. Really." Wen Ziqing emphasized, suppressing the urge to ruffle Zhou Yuanyuan's hair. The sight of the little girl blinking made his heart soften.
Wen Ziqing was worried about leaving the two children in the Zhou family. Everyone in the Zhou family, young and old, was so mean. If they were careless and hurt Yuanyuan and Jiasheng, even killing them wouldn't satisfy his hatred.
How careless was Zhao Yunxiang to not see the plight of the two children? Wen Ziqing had been reporting to the Zhou family these days. What kind of personalities did these people in the Zhou family have? How could they have escaped Wen Ziqing's eyes?
No! He should let the little girl go back to Zhaojiagou. Only by being with him can the little girl's safety be guaranteed. Wen Ziqing was thinking about how to persuade Zhao Yunxiang later.
However, this Zhou family really has some secrets! Should he take advantage of today to thoroughly explore this secret?
