The days passed slowly, and at the end of the month, Zhou wanted to go back to school to take the midterm exam.
On the way home, Aunt Wang stopped him and asked, "Zhou Xiang, your sister is dating someone, right?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "No!"
"Don't lie, who is that young man who often helps her at her stall?"
"He's the son of my mom's classmate. He's from the countryside. He didn't get into college and couldn't find a job. So, seeing that my second sister's clothing business was doing well, he came here to learn from her."
"Is that really the case?"
"real."
Aunt Wang didn't hear any special gossip, so she left in disappointment.
Zhou Xiang was worried. Was this brother-in-law from his previous life destined to be his brother-in-law?
If my second sister's marriage couldn't be broken up, what about me? Would I have to repeat the two marriages of my previous life?
Zhou Xiang returned home with a grim look on his face.
Because there is only the 29th day of August, Zhou Yu can only rush to the market day in September when the night shift is over.
Today is October 26th, the 13th day of the ninth lunar month. After Zhou Yu finished his night shift, he immediately set up his stall. At half past ten, he closed it and went home to cook.
Zhou Yu, who was very tired, saw his sister's grim expression and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you do well on the test?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "No, it's your business. Aunt Wang asked me if you were dating someone."
Zhou Yu paused with the spatula in his hand, then threw it away in frustration and sat down on a small stool.
"I'm also very annoyed! I can't chase him away. He helps sell clothes, and now many people think he's the stall owner."
Zhou Xiang picked up the spatula and started stirring the food in the wok. "I told Aunt Wang that he was learning business from you. But if we keep delaying this, this excuse won't work. He's just demonstrating what it means when a woman is afraid of a clingy man."
"Give me some advice, what should I do?"
"Unless you have a partner."
"But I don't want to talk about it yet! I'd be so happy if I could make my own money!"
"I told you to stop setting up a stall, and you refused. I told you to find a partner, and you still refused. Why are you asking me? Aren't you very opinionated?"
"It's all my fault, Mom. Associating with a classmate like that has left me at a loss."
Zhou Xiang threw the spatula away and said, "Yes, it's all someone else's fault. You're not at fault. Your whole family is worried about you, and you still don't get anything good."
Zhou wanted to go back to the south room, but his second sister refused to listen and couldn't act tough outside.
Zhou Yu was irritated by his sister's action of throwing the spatula. He shoveled out the messy vegetables in the pot, added water to the pot, stopped frying the vegetables, and left them aside.
Sitting on the bench, I started crying.
Zhou Niao looked at his elder sister, then looked outside, and decided to go see his younger sister.
Father Zhou saw the mess on the dining table with the uncooked dishes, and then looked at his crying eldest daughter.
"Go cry."
Then wash the pot and cook.
Zhou Yu felt even more sad when his father treated him like this. He ran to his eldest brother's kang in the south room and cried.
Zhou Niao, who was quietly accompanying her younger sister, saw her crying so sadly and stepped forward to comfort her: "Okay, why don't you just stop setting up the stall? He doesn't dare to come home."
"Big brother also understands?"
"It's a very simple truth!"
Zhou Yu stopped crying. His elder brother understood the truth, but he didn't. Doesn't that mean he is dumber than his elder brother?
Anyway, I've paid my sister back and made a few hundred bucks! I won't pick up the clothes once they're sold.
"Then I'll go to another market and sell all the clothes. I won't sell any more. The weather is getting colder."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"Well, thank you, big brother."
"No thanks, go wash your face!"
Zhou Xiang listened to the conversation between his eldest brother and second sister, and suspected that his eldest brother's intelligence had improved. Perhaps, his eldest brother had a promising future.
After another long night shift, Zhou Yu took out all the stock at home.
Zhou wondered if his second sister would come back to cook because she was trying to sell off the goods, so at half past ten, he went to the kitchen and started busying himself.
Zhou's father didn't say anything when he got home. Although his eldest daughter had many shortcomings, she worked so hard and so diligently that he really couldn't criticize her.
So I prepared lunch with my little girl.
It was not until twelve o'clock that Zhou Yu and his mother returned home.
"Sold out?"
Zhou Yu nodded happily, "I'm selling them off, and the prices have been lowered a lot."
"That's great. If you want to do it, you can do it next spring. Business is always available."
"Didn't you see that Zhang Lian's face changed when he heard me shouting 'big sale, clearance sale'?"
Zhou Xiang glanced at her sideways and said, "Don't be too proud. Be careful of cornered people. That's what you said."
"Uh." Zhou Yu choked, "Okay! I'll pay attention."
Zhou's father concluded, "Okay, get back to work. Winter is coming soon, and your brother running back and forth, don't you feel bad? Hurry and apply for a dormitory."
Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I've been applying."
After dinner, Zhou Yu went to catch up on his sleep as he was extremely tired.
Zhou's mother asked her daughter, "Do you think he will give up?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "Maybe I did before, but now I've worked for my second sister for two months for nothing. I'm even more unwilling to accept this."
"What will happen?"
"Maybe I'll go to my second sister's workplace to bother her."
"Alas! Maybe you're right. Zhang Lian can do this, his father must support him. I really have a bad eye. Don't judge a book by its cover!"
Zhou Yu, feeling like he had gotten rid of a burden, went to work happily, but came back with a pout after get off work.
"Hate it, that Zhang Li'an actually waited for me on my way to work."
Zhou's mother and her little girl looked at each other.
"Then what!"
"I scolded him and he left. Before, when he was setting up a stall, I couldn't scold him in the street. This time, there were fewer people on the street, so I didn't give him face."
Zhou Xiang just wanted to hold his forehead with his hand. With his second sister's IQ, maybe his eldest brother would catch up with her in a few years.
Zhou's mother was also helpless. Her daughter was a bit smart except when it came to business. But other than that, it was hard to describe.
Zhou Yu came back from get off work several times in a rage.
The Zhou family had no other options. They couldn't send someone to accompany her to work, could they? How long could they do that?
In this way, more than half a month passed in Zhou Yu's unhappiness.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of Zhou's courtyard. Zhou Xiang heard the whimpering of Rourou and Qiuqiu, and immediately came out of the space.
As soon as the door was opened, Zhou's mother came in with a man, who was holding his second sister who was crying softly in his arms.
"Put it on the kang in the inner room."
After putting his second sister down, Zhou Xiang finally saw clearly that the man was Zhu Hang.
"Mom, you stay with my second sister."
Zhou's mother nodded. She recognized the man and her daughter was dating him.
Take Zhu Hang to the kitchen and pour him a glass of water.
"What happened to my second sister?"
"I was drinking at a friend's house and passed by the substation when I heard a woman screaming for help. Out of curiosity, I went to take a look. It was really just curiosity. Luckily, today was the 16th. I recognized the woman as your second sister, so I rescued her from a man. I'm sure the man didn't succeed; she was frightened."
