"Okay," Zhou Xiang forced his eyes open wide, not blinking to prevent the moisture from turning into water droplets. A pill appeared in his hand. "Just take this, and your life will be the same as before. Your food, lodging, and everything else will be the same as Dad's."
"What is this?" Mother Zhou was surprised and leaned back unconsciously. Could it be that her little girl wanted to...
"Don't worry!" Zhou Xiang understood the fear in his mother's eyes. He was such a vicious person in her eyes. He laughed at himself and said, "No matter how cruel I am, I can't poison my own mother. After killing you, won't I have to pay with my own life? I value my life more than you do."
"Then why did you give me this?"
"Just decide whether you want to eat it or not?" Zhou Xiang lost his patience. "I don't mind your threats. After all, Comrade Lao Jiang knew about Zhuang Zhou's dream of the butterfly, and he kept silent, didn't he? Comparing them, I think you're not as good as him!"
Mother Zhou stared at the pill for a long time before taking it. She hesitated for a while in her hand, then made up her mind and put it in her mouth.
The pill melted as soon as it entered my mouth. After a while, I felt no discomfort in my body and smiled.
Watching her own mother take the pills and seeing her various reactions, Zhou Xiang felt as if her heart was being pinched. She never expected that one day, she would actually drug her own mother.
She stood up and opened the door, and saw Ling Ran looking at her worriedly. She raised her hand and handed him the main medicine, "I have already taken two doses of the main medicine, you take this one."
Ling Ran's eyes dimmed slightly as he looked at his mother-in-law who became resentful and frightened after hearing this. He lowered his head and swallowed the main medicine from his lover's hand, and the effect of the medicine was immediately activated.
"Let's go!" Zhou Xiang went downstairs first and said to his father, "We should go back."
"good!"
Zhou's father sent his daughter and her family to the door, and only went back into the house when the five-member family could no longer be seen from their backs.
Seeing that his wife was already tidying up the living room and her expression didn't change much, he ignored her. As long as she didn't act like a great contributor to the Zhou family all day long, it would be fine.
The family of five returned to the Ling family. After Ling Ran left his children to his parents, he took his lover back to the room.
As soon as he closed the door, Ling Ran hugged his lover in his arms, gently patting her back, silently comforting her.
Zhou Xiang just lay there quietly, thinking of nothing, just leaning like that.
After a long while, she finally spoke softly, "When I first came back, I didn't hide my sudden change because of my disappointment in my miserable life. My mother noticed it. She helped me a lot in the beginning and believed in me wholeheartedly, hoping that I could support this family.
I don't know when she started to change, even if she took all the credit for my success, I wouldn't be sad, and I wouldn't let her take any pills,
You know what? She said she wanted to live with me, using the excuse that she supported me in the past. I asked her if she was my biological mother. She said that if she wasn't my biological mother, she would have strangled me to death when I came back. Her tone was full of jealousy.
I agreed to it, on the condition that she take the pill and live her life as usual, but she thought I was going to kill her. Haha, in the end, her determination to live a good life with me overcame her fear.
"I've already started the effect of the drug, don't be afraid," Ling Ran lowered his head and gently kissed his lover's head. He put a little force on his hands and hugged his lover tightly. "I think she must have changed after she learned about Jiang Weizhong five years ago. She thought Jiang Weizhong was an experimental subject. The guilt of missing the appointment with the seven-year-old Jiang Weizhong corroded her heart. After four years of fear, she probably thought that if she could do it again, she would definitely protect her brother. So she envied your good luck in having a second chance.
Of course, this is just my guess. Since she has taken the pill, let her live with her father-in-law! Aren’t the eldest brother and the third brother planning to demolish and rebuild the Zhou family? It’s just right. "
"Hmm!" Zhou Xiang murmured. He couldn't really ask his parents to live apart, could he? He'd be making a fool of himself. Suddenly remembering something, Zhou Xiang looked up. "Our parking lot will also be renovated. Why don't you propose to Mayor Zhang that we build a large paid parking lot? Those private minibuses can also be regulated."
"Yeah! Let's talk about this after the sixth day of the New Year. Let's go out! Mom and Dad must be worried."
"OK!"
Originally, her son and daughter-in-law went straight upstairs after returning from her parents' home. Dong Yunrong was very worried. She even asked her grandson questions but didn't get any useful information. She felt that the demolition and reconstruction of the building and the fact that her father-in-law would have to live there were not big deals and would not affect her daughter-in-law's mood. When she was about to ask her clever granddaughter, she heard the sound of people coming down the stairs.
Seeing that it was his son and daughter-in-law coming downstairs together, and their complexions had returned to normal, he stopped worrying and said, "Think about it, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Eat something light. You've been eating too much meat and fish these past few days. I'm sure the teacher is tired of it."
Professor Chu, who was playing chess with Ling Quan, nodded repeatedly when he heard this. "Right, right, right. Let's have something light to cleanse our stomach. There's too much fat in our intestines, especially tomorrow morning. I want to drink millet porridge."
"Okay," Dong Yunrong narrowed her eyes and smiled. Professor Chu opened his mouth to order, which showed that he didn't treat himself as an outsider. "Make two cold dishes tonight and add two drops of sesame oil."
"That's great. Just cut the tender core of the cabbage into thin strips, smash a few cloves of garlic, add some salt and vinegar, and it will be quite appetizing." Professor Chu became interested and continued to order.
Dong Yunrong looked at her daughter-in-law. Is it that simple?
Zhou Xiang nodded to her mother-in-law, "Do you have mung bean vermicelli at home?"
"Yes, it's in the cupboard!"
"Okay, I'll make the cold dish that the teacher ordered." Zhou Xiang decided to add some vermicelli and shredded cabbage to the cold dish.
Dong Yunrong felt relieved. She was really worried that she would not be able to entertain Professor Chu well.
The cabbage and vermicelli salad in the evening was the most popular. Professor Chu praised it while eating, "Next time I'll buy mung bean sprouts to mix with it. You mixed the cabbage salad with the bean sprout and vermicelli salad into one dish."
"It doesn't matter if it's mixed into one dish or two, as long as it's delicious and appetizing, it's fine. But it's too cold, so please eat less."
"Well," Professor Chu obediently stopped picking up the salad, "Then you can make mung bean sprouts next time. The blanched mung bean sprouts can be made warm."
"good."
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Xiang and his family went to Guanjia Village with gifts to wish their godfather and godmother a happy new year.
Guan Bo and Aunt Guan welcomed their goddaughter into the home with smiles on their faces, and they loved the three treasures very much.
"Godfather and Godmother, I'm sorry we didn't come to pay New Year's greetings last year. It was really wrong."
"What are you talking about!" Aunt Guan held her goddaughter's hand. "You had just returned at that time, and there were too many things to deal with. Later, I heard that your family had split up on the sixth day of the New Year. I wanted to go and see them, but then two elderly people passed away. Why should we care about all this? As long as you are all well, that's all that matters."
"That's also my fault. I'll punish Ling Ran by having a few more drinks with my godfather later."
"Okay, that's a good idea." Guan Bo responded readily.
"Get out of here," Aunt Guan scolded her husband in dissatisfaction. "Ling Ran doesn't drink at all. He can only drink with you. You just want to take advantage of this opportunity to have a few more drinks."
