Zhou wanted to know that his mother was under a lot of pressure staying at home, so he let her cry.
Father Zhou felt sorry for his daughter. "You're so thin. You must not have eaten well outside. You just keep crying. Go make something delicious!"
Zhou's mother wiped her tears and asked, "You won't do it?"
"I'll make it. You go heat up the soup. Heat up the old hen soup and stew it for the second child tomorrow."
Mr. Zhou didn't even have time to criticize his son-in-law and hurried to cook.
It's already past seven in the evening and the Zhou family has already had dinner, so this has to be made right away.
Ling Ran took the bag upstairs and brought down a change of clothes for both of them. "Wife, go take a shower first."
Zhou Xiang really needed a good bath, so he accepted Ling Ran's suggestion and took a bath before eating.
Zhou Xiang came out of the shower and found a bowl of hot chicken soup in front of him. Looking at the layer of golden oil, Zhou Xiang frowned and said, "Mom, no wonder my second sister is so fat. When you stew the soup, you should tear off the chicken fat. Eating too much greasy food is not good for your health."
Mother Zhou nodded and was about to speak when she heard someone coming down the stairs. "Sister, you say bad things about me as soon as you come back."
Zhou Xiang looked up and saw the weight of his second sister. He shook his head and said, "You are so fat, and you don't want people to tell you the truth? I tell you, you should lose weight quickly. You are too ugly."
“Is it really ugly?”
"Of course. I can't wear pretty clothes and I'm covered in fat. How can I look good?"
Zhou Yu sat down next to his sister and said, "I want to lose weight too! Mom gives me a bowl of this soup every day, it would be strange if I don't gain weight."
"Stop giving objective reasons. Why don't you just say you haven't been exercising enough? I just told Mom that next time you should tear off the chicken fat and you should exercise more. Okay, leave now. I feel like I can't breathe just by looking at you."
"Do you dislike me?"
"Yes, I really dislike it. You must get up early tomorrow and go for a run. You are not allowed to get up with the children. If you don't lose weight in a month, I will take care of all the housework. Doing housework will definitely help you lose weight."
Zhou Yu quickly got up and went upstairs, "I want to go to bed early and get up early to exercise."
Zhong Lan came downstairs carrying Xiao Jingjing. Seeing how dark and thin Zhou Xiang was, she felt sorry for her. "Why are you like this? Hurry up and replenish your energy. Drink the soup quickly. Isn't that chicken soup in front of you?"
“Too oily.”
“Isn’t this more nutritious?”
"No, oops! I can't explain it, and I don't want to say it. Anyway, I will make it up to you, don't worry."
Ling Ran came out of the shower, went to the kitchen to get a bowl and spoon, and skimmed off the oil on the chicken soup. "Alright, drink it!"
There was still a layer of oil on the chicken soup that couldn't be skimmed off. Zhou Xiang looked at Ling Ran's expectant eyes and could only blow away the oil while drinking.
The meal was ready, and Zhou Xiang quickly pushed the chicken soup to Ling Ran, "You should drink it too, otherwise, I won't be able to eat."
While they were eating, Zhu Hang came downstairs with Jian Jiankang. When Jian Jiankang saw his aunt, he was very affectionate. "Aunt, you are finally back? It must be that your uncle-in-law didn't take good care of you, which is why you are so thin."
Zhou Xiang had a mouth full of food and could only nod.
After the two finished their meal, Zhou's father and mother told them to go and rest, and they would talk again tomorrow.
Jian Jiankang went upstairs. As he went upstairs, Zhou Xiang asked Zhong Lan, "Didn't Mr. Wu come to pick you up?"
"I called you and told you to wait until you came back. I wanted to say goodbye to you in person."
"Then you can call him."
"We'll fight again tomorrow."
Back in the bedroom, Zhou Xiang lay down on the bed. "Oh! It's still more comfortable to sleep in my own bed. I want to sleep until I wake up naturally. Don't wake me up."
"Okay! I won't call you."
But the next day, Zhou Xiang woke up early, stretched, got up and went downstairs. Ling Ran was already in the kitchen helping to make breakfast.
"Didn't you say you should sleep until you wake up naturally?"
"I still can't change my biological clock. Cook a few more salted eggs. I want to eat three."
"good!"
After a lively breakfast, Zhu Hang sent Jiankang to school. Zhou Yu threw the child into the basket and went out for a walk. She couldn't run, so she started with a walk.
Zhong Lan called Wu Haotian and went upstairs with the child.
Zhou's mother told her little girl that Zhonglan's cousin had come and threatened Zhonglan to lend her money, otherwise she would tell her aunt about Zhonglan's current situation.
Zhong Lan did not accept the threat and told her to just go ahead and file a complaint and see if her family would be willing to spend a lot of money to arrest her, after all, she already had a child.
Zhong Ju thought that Zhong Lan must be married since she gave birth to a child, and she also said that she wanted to meet her cousin's husband. Zhong Lan said that her cousin's husband had gone out to work.
"Zhong Ju and Zhong Lan are completely different. They are almost like rural shrews." Zhou's mother finally concluded.
"Next time you meet her on the street, pretend you don't know her. Zhonglan will leave immediately, and don't tell anyone where she's been."
"Yes! I'll tell your dad."
Zhou Xiang decided to stay home for two days before going out to meet people. However, it was difficult to keep a secret in this small town. Just as he finished talking to his mother, his mother-in-law's voice came from outside, "My dear, are Xiang Xiang and Ling Ran back? I saw the car in the parking lot."
Zhou Xiang had no choice but to come out to greet her mother-in-law. When Dong Yunrong saw Zhou Xiang's appearance, her eyes turned red. "Ling Ran, get out of here!"
Zhou Xiang took her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Mom, let's talk inside. Don't be angry or anxious. I will make it up to you in a few days."
Dong Yunrong touched her face distressedly. "You're almost skin and bones. When will you be able to recover? Ling Ran said he would take care of you, but he has taken care of you to this state?"
"It's not his fault, it's me. I can't eat when it's hot. But when I get home, I can eat well."
Ling Ran then came out. He was really afraid of my fist.
This mother-in-law is still here! Over there, the godfather and godmother came again, also feeling sorry for their goddaughter, blaming Ling Ran for not being able to take care of people, and Ling Ran nodded in agreement.
Zhou Xiang felt a little guilty. Why was he so thin? He knew it himself. Wasn't it because he couldn't find any special reason and was anxious? But he let Ling Ran take the blame.
Guan Bo asked his goddaughter who had no appetite to go to the stall to eat cold noodles. Only then did Zhou Xiang think of the problem of her godmother's stall.
"Well! If it's hot and I have no appetite, I'll go eat. Godfather, how many floors does my building have?"
"How many floors? One floor is still under construction! Hurry up and contact Ma Gua. No, hurry up and contact the supply and marketing cooperative."
"What happened?"
"You've squeezed the remaining 12 rooms in the supply and marketing cooperative so tightly that there's no room left. The employees are giving the director a hard time!"
"So, where is the Godmother's stall?"
"It's in Doctor Cao's alley. It's a long alley, perfect for setting up tables. Doctor Cao doesn't even want to charge rent."
"Doctor Cao has received so much benefit from my service, how could he possibly charge you rent? Don't worry, just put it up! It's okay."
Since his goddaughter said so, Guan Bo no longer felt guilty.
"As soon as the promotional video was broadcast, the town's three scenic spots, the park tunnel and the exhibition hall, became very popular. People from all over the province and county came to visit. Some people even paid three yuan to watch the blacksmithing. I practiced twice and sold two kitchen knives for 20 yuan each!"
