Zhou Xiang immediately put down his chopsticks. "After you finish eating, go to school. Ride your bikes to No. 1 Middle School to ask for leave for me. Then go to Wu Haotian and the others and tell them not to let my second cousin come back no matter what."
"Okay!" Even though Zhou Hua knew that his sister could handle it, he still followed her out worriedly to see what was happening.
Seeing the woman bent over and struggling in the hands of the uncle, my eyes couldn't help but turn red. In this society, the weak are always the ones who get hurt.
Zhou Xiang never expected that his great uncle could be so cruel. Could it be that all members of the Zhou family inherited the gene of beating their wives?
Or maybe, incompetent men like to beat their wives to show their ability?
"My uncle has become more powerful. He used to fight in Zhoujia Village, but now he comes to the county town to fight."
"Think about it, stop talking nonsense, where is that unfilial son Zhou Chao?"
"How should I know where my second cousin is?"
"Don't pretend, I know he came looking for you."
"Then go inside and look for her! Let go of the aunt first. Look back, they're looking at you for your jokes, not your bravery."
Zhou Yiwen turned around and saw that the people around him were indeed all smiling, so he pushed the person in his hand aside.
Zhou Yong took it and grabbed his stepmother's arm.
Haha, the whole family is here! Including my third cousin.
"I'll go in and look for it."
"If you rummage through my things and damage them, I'll go back to Zhoujia Village and ask my great grandfather to take action."
Zhou Yiwen paused for a moment after hearing this. "Okay, I'll be careful. Third brother, come with me."
Zhou Yue excitedly followed his father. Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Go away! You'll be late for work."
"Oh! Really! Hurry up, hurry up."
"Yeah! I forgot I have to go to work."
"I haven't had time to eat breakfast yet!"
The crowd hurriedly dispersed, revealing Wei Juan and her mother behind them, and the happy smiles on their faces.
Zhou Xiang narrowed his eyes, thinking that this matter might be related to them, haha, just wait and see!
"Brother, why don't you come in? You are so proud of yourself for letting others laugh at you."
Zhou Yong pushed his stepmother into the yard.
"Third brother, hurry up and go to school, you're going to be late."
"good!"
Zuo Hengzhouhua pushed his bicycle out and left without even looking at the people in the yard.
"That's Xiao Sanzi, right? He doesn't know how to be polite and doesn't know how to call me."
"Inherited from the Zhou family."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yong's eyes widened and he looked ferocious. "What do you mean?"
"Stepmother, she is also a mother. The grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising a child. Do you think she eats and uses your family's money, but you were not raised by her?
Wrong, as long as she cooks and does housework, she is supporting you. How dare you say you haven't eaten the food she cooked? Foolish and ignorant, you have an obligation to support her, just like you should support your eldest uncle. Do you have the right to say that my third brother is impolite?
Zhou Yong released his hand and said, "I, I listen to my father."
"Haha, you're still stupid. He asked you to kill someone, and you went? Can't you tell the difference between good and evil?"
"Okay, think about it, girl. Don't mock your cousin. It's my fault that I didn't ask him to go to school."
Zhou Yiwen walked out of the house and just heard Zhou Xiang's last words.
"Reading? Have you read?"
"Yes."
"It's all in vain."
"You dead girl, if you keep talking in a sarcastic way, don't blame me for beating you up."
"Why don't you try to hit me? If you dare to move, it means you don't respect my grandfather, your fourth uncle."
"You! Aren't you just relying on the fact that your family got out of the countryside?"
"Are you blaming Grandpa for being incompetent?"
"Okay, I can't argue with you. Where did you hide your second cousin?"
"I didn't see him. Maybe he couldn't stand your abuse and ran away."
"Impossible. Someone told me that he was seen here at the Water Conservancy Bureau."
"Really? Who told you? No one in Zhoujia Village knows I live here, including my grandfather."
"Someone went to the village, found me, and told me that you have a house here and have made a fortune. There are men coming in and out of your yard all day long. Your second cousin must be one of them."
"Uncle, are you saying that? Don't you think it's weird? There are men coming in and out of my yard all day long. Can't you hear how unpleasant this is?"
"This is the original words. If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have noticed it!"
"Your brain is burnt out by alcohol. If I had said that before, would I have survived? No wonder someone took advantage of you and brought you here. The Zhou family's treatment of the Zhou family is a huge joke to everyone."
"Uh, I was wrong. I was just confused for a moment, wasn't I?"
"Are you ever not confused?"
"Oh! I can't give up that drink!"
"I'm telling you, no matter what excuses you come up with, it's useless. Today, you've brought shame to Zhoujia Village and even dragged me down with you. I won't let this go."
"What do you want?"
"What can I do? I will go back and tell my great grandfather, second grandfather, third grandfather and fifth uncle. It's their business how to deal with you. As a junior, I am only suitable to complain."
After saying that, he ignored the three grown men and helped his aunt into the kitchen.
"Aunt, come here, wipe your face and eat. Don't pay attention to them. I'll go back with you later."
It’s time to go and see Zhoujia Village and see how ignorant it can be.
Zhao Hedi took the towel that Zhou Xiangtou had washed and wiped away the tears and sweat from her face.
Zhou Xiang went to his room, took out a comb, and gently combed her messy hair.
After combing off a lot of hair, Zhou Xiang rubbed it up and threw it into the stove.
Alas! I can blame everyone, everyone, and my aunt, but I just can't bear to blame this poor woman.
Everyone says that there must be something hateful about pitiful people, but Zhou Xiang couldn't find that in his aunt.
My mother said that my eldest aunt was a real lady from a noble family, but unfortunately the world changed and my eldest aunt married a farmer. Her husband died of illness when my second cousin was five years old.
The widow couldn't live in the village with her son, so she was arranged to marry the uncle of the hall.
But her gentle temperament seemed to be engraved in her bones, and could not be erased by the difficult and hard rural life.
Perhaps, because of this, the gossipy women in the village started stirring up trouble out of jealousy.
Perhaps, because of this, the uncle felt inferior and used violence to cover up his vulgarity.
For the sake of her son, she endured it again and again. When her bottom line was touched, she fought hard, as if she had married her son off regardless of the consequences in her previous life.
It was as if she had grasped the slightest possibility in this life and asked her second cousin to escape from that wolf's den overnight.
She was both weak and strong, and it was impossible to persuade her. Every time she escaped to the market town and talked to her mother, she would burst into tears and say that this was her fate, a woman's fate.
Zhou Xiang pushed the porridge, steamed buns and boiled eggs in front of her.
"Eat it! Trust me! At worst, I can take you out and you won't have to live with your uncle anymore."
