"you……."
"What's wrong with me? I'm fine! Much better than you. Things change over time, so what? Are you feeling aggrieved? Are you dissatisfied? Do you want to eat me up? Put yourself in my shoes and think back to my past. Well, I should feel worse than you do now. Okay, hold back all your dissatisfaction and go buy some groceries and cook. I want braised pork."
At this time, the old man's door opened and Zhou Jun walked out with an expressionless face.
When Zhou Ying saw his elder brother, he seemed to have found his backbone and immediately stepped forward to complain.
Zhou Jun waved his hand, "Go ahead! Do as she says and buy some more good food."
Only then did Zhou Ying realize that something was wrong with his elder brother. His elder brother, who always had a smiling face, no longer had a smile on his face.
Zhou Ying, who had always been afraid of her elder brother, could only pick up her basket and go out to buy vegetables.
Sitting down next to Zhou Xiang, Zhou Jun looked at his little cousin basking in the sun, as if everything was under control. It was as if he saw his grandfather from decades ago, who was able to plan and strategize, and was extraordinary.
He sighed deeply. His mother's lifelong pursuit was the so-called good things in his grandfather's hands. She ruined all five of his brothers and sisters, but he didn't get what he wanted.
My grandfather once said that other people's things are always other people's, but the knowledge you have learned is yours. At that time, I was brainwashed by my mother and thought that I could get the wealth in my grandfather's hands without working hard, and I just had to please my grandfather.
Does it mean that our efforts have been in vain?
Zhou Xiang felt uncomfortable being stared at by his eldest cousin. He stared with his big round eyes and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhou Jun suddenly laughed heartily, no longer the protective smile he had before.
"Well, look at how amazing our little cousin is. She actually defeated the entire city and may even defeat the entire province in the future. I'm really proud of her."
That's right! I just misunderstood. My little cousin is from Grandpa's branch, so if one branch prospers, all prospers! If this branch really prospers in the future, I can also benefit from it back home. I can't let my eldest and second sisters ruin this blood relationship.
Zhou Xiang rubbed the goose bumps on the back of his hand and rolled his eyes at Zhou Jun. "Did you take the wrong medicine? Talking like this suddenly is very alarming, okay?"
Zhou Jun rubbed her head. In fact, if you put aside your prejudice, your little cousin is still very cute, although she is a bit harsh.
"We are a family, and that cannot be changed under any circumstances."
Zhou Xiang slapped the hand off his head and said coldly, "No, it can be changed. As long as I step on you all, you will be the soil, and I will be the white cloud. How can white cloud and soil be one family?"
Zhou Jun stared blankly at her eyes. The hostility in them was so obvious. If killing was not illegal, she would probably kill her entire family, right?
How could this happen? What on earth had happened to make this little girl hate her family so deeply?
Zhou Xiang took a deep breath to calm the hatred that suddenly emerged in him. Yes, it was hatred.
In my previous life, I didn’t go to my grandmother’s house right away. I stayed at my grandfather’s house for a month.
Although there are still many things to do, at least mentally it is still relaxing. However, the aunt-in-law feels that she has suffered a loss. Her eldest nephew just passed away, and now her youngest niece has come. The second branch will have endless troubles.
So my aunt came in person and kept nagging my grandfather for a few days. My grandfather left two kilograms of meal tickets from the company cafeteria and followed my aunt back to his hometown.
I had to eat two taels of rice every day and swallow it dry. Fortunately, the staff in the cafeteria felt sorry for me and gave me some vegetable soup to soak the rice in.
Aunt He Qin even gave herself two taels of vegetables. Her relatives were not as good as strangers.
After finally making it to the weekend and returning to town, my mother came to find my third uncle and aunt after she found out. They didn't agree to eat together and asked me to eat alone.
My mother wanted to buy dozens of coal briquettes from my third uncle, but he was unwilling and told us to go buy them ourselves.
Haha, the Coal Construction Company will only issue an invoice if you buy at least 500 coal briquettes.
What’s even more amazing is that when my grandfather returned to his hometown, he gave all his coal briquettes to my third uncle’s family.
Then I carried a week's worth of coal briquettes in a snakeskin bag to school. With my small body, the journey from the station to the Coal Construction Company took nearly an hour, and my hands were covered with blisters from carrying the coal.
In just two weeks, my family was defeated by my aunt and my third aunt, and completely disappeared from the old man's sight.
The old man came back two months after he went to his grandmother's house.
How can I treat someone who has completely trampled my family into the mud as my own? Is it because he is thick-skinned?
Zhou Xiang's thoughts were interrupted by his father, "Xiang Xiang, your grandfather is calling you."
Zhou Xiang hid the anger in his eyes, walked into the room, looked at the old man pretending to be kind on the bed, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Quan looked at his father's eyes and helped his little girl sit down on the stool beside the bed.
"Think about it. Chat with your grandfather for a while. I'll go help with the cooking."
When the door was closed, Zhou Xiang no longer hid his impatience.
"Chat? Can you speak?"
The old man nodded and uttered a word unclearly, "Yes!"
Zhou Xiang chuckled softly, and after laughing for a while, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Then let's chat! I'll keep you company."
Seeing the vicissitudes and anger in his granddaughter's eyes, Mr. Zhou gave up the question he had originally planned to ask and asked instead: "Why do you hate?"
"Before asking others why, why don't you ask yourself why you are so cruel? Isn't my father your biological son? Why can't we feel any family love from you? Why can your father's and grandfather's love be given to the third and first wives, but the second wife is treated like a poor picked-up child?"
Mr. Zhou remained silent. Could he say that he disliked his second son because his wife disliked him?
The second child was born beside a dry riverbed. His wife almost died during childbirth. There was war at the time, and the second child was always crying and making a fuss. The family of four was almost arrested.
My wife always says that the second son is a debt collector.
Gradually, that dislike seemed to be imprinted in his bones. No matter how much the second son did, his wife and he would not even look at him. They thought that it was his blessing that he did not starve to death.
Later, when my third child was born and many places in the country were liberated, I took the opportunity to join the army. Sure enough, a year later, the country was fully liberated and I was transferred to a good unit.
My wife thinks that all the good luck is brought by the third child, and she loves him very much.
Because the eldest child was the first child, he was smart and very much like me, so I favored him. Unfortunately, he was killed in the mountain blast.
The second son seemed redundant. He was eighteen years old, and his wife and he didn't worry about his marriage. He actually ran away from his hometown. It happened that the food company was recruiting workers, and he was recruited with his junior high school education.
His wife was also introduced to him by his colleague.
