Next door, the Wei family is receiving a guest.
Wei Juan's mother enthusiastically served the guests some food. "Cousin, eat some food. It's rare that you still think of coming to see me."
My cousin took a bite of the dish and squinted her eyes. "It's still better in the city! I have a job, I have money, and I can buy meat anytime."
Haha, who would have thought that the old-timer from my village would fall for Wei Juan and ask me to be their matchmaker! I immediately became interested. Isn't that my dear cousin's family? Great! Even without the ten yuan thank you fee, I'd still be willing to act as their matchmaker.
Back then, you, Chen Dani, used your aunt to pressure my mother to snatch my temporary worker quota. You took the opportunity to marry into the county and became a regular worker from a temporary worker.
Not only does she not feel guilty towards me, but she shows off every time she goes back. But what is she showing off for? Isn't it the same as never having a child in her entire life?
What's the difference between adopting someone who is not related by blood and becoming a stepmother?
He had planned to adopt his son into the Wei family, but Old Wei was unwilling. Otherwise, it would be his son who would be enjoying all this now.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Wei Juan opposite him. She was just a little girl who had enjoyed too much blessing and couldn't bear it.
Now, that second-rate guy has planned everything and is waiting to enter the Wei family and take charge! It's like God is helping me. I must do my best to get this done.
After dinner, Zhou wanted to drag his mother into the room and open the bed leg mechanism to show her.
"Mom, here are two large yellow croakers for emergencies. I've hidden the others. There's cash in this desk drawer. You can use it anytime. If you run out, ask me for it."
Zhou's mother was dazzled by the golden color and quickly closed the door. "You're so brave! How could you open it so carelessly? Why did you leave the money like that?"
Haha, how can it be random? They were all taken out from the space, right?
"Mom, you can take whatever you think is safe. It's all in your hands now. Don't be reluctant to buy groceries. We have money at home and we are all growing up, so we can eat a lot."
Zhou Xiang said as he closed the mechanism.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
He pushed her away, picked up the cash, rolled it up in a handkerchief, and planned to find a place to hide it.
After looking around for a while, he couldn't find the right place. "This bed leg has a mechanism, is there one on that leg?"
"Yes, but Zuo Heng used it. Do you always open the machine to get money? It's just in a book. It's all new money, so you can't tell."
"Okay! Find me a book that you don't use often."
"Here! This is it." Zhou Xiang gave his mother a thick book
Zhou's mother took the book, put most of the money inside it, and rolled up a small part in a handkerchief and put it on her body.
Alas! My mother’s mentality of how to get rich hasn’t changed!
"By the way, don't buy the eggs. If you run out, tell me and I'll buy them back."
"Yes, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered it! You've always bought the eggs at home and here, and they're both so delicious. Where do you buy them?"
"It's a special place, and people won't sell it to anyone who isn't an acquaintance."
"It's so mysterious, isn't it just an egg?"
"Yes, it's eggs, but their chickens are different! They're fed with medicinal herbs, so their eggs are very fragrant. Haven't you noticed that no one in your family has caught a cold in the past year?"
"Feeding chickens with medicinal herbs? So this egg has special effects!"
"right!"
“It must be expensive, right?”
"Don't worry about that. As long as it tastes good and works as a fitness tool, that's all that matters."
"I want to pickle some more! But since it's expensive, forget it."
"Pickled? Okay, I'll buy some in the evening. Are 200 enough?"
"That's enough. If it tastes good, continue pickling."
So, when Zhou Xiang went to school in the afternoon, carrying a vegetable basket, it disappeared as soon as he left the Water Conservancy Bureau.
When she met up with Xiao Chunmei, Xiao Chunmei asked her if she wanted to practice singing after school.
"No, let's practice while walking! I have to go back to accompany my eldest brother after school. My eldest brother and my mother are here to accompany us."
"Does your elder brother still need to accompany you?"
"Well! His world is lonely."
Xiao Chunmei didn't understand, but since Zhou didn't want to explain, she didn't ask.
The afternoon was spent quite easily. I daydreamed in class and explained things to Xiao Chunmei after class, and the afternoon passed by in one go.
When I saw Li Li after school, I remembered that I hadn't seen her for two days.
"Huh? Why haven't I seen you these past two days?"
Li Li was furious. "Do you still have me in your heart? If I don't appear in front of you, you will forget me, right?"
Zhou Xiang blinked his eyes. This statement was a bit ambiguous.
He whispered in her ear, "Don't you like Zuo Heng? When did you change your mind and fall in love with me again?" After saying that, he continued walking forward.
Li Li stood there for a long time before she understood what she meant. With a red face, she ran to catch up with her.
"You! You're so, so… that."
"What is that? Don't blush! Just tell me."
"Humph! I won't say anything. You're just talking nonsense. My determination remains unchanged."
"Then think before you speak next time and don't say anything that will make people think too much."
"Okay, you're awesome, I admit defeat. Tell me, do you like my cousin?"
"I just told you to think before you speak, and you're doing it again."
"Don't interrupt, you know what I mean."
"Okay! Your cousin is okay. At least she's not a mean person. You can date her."
"I knew it. She'd snatch everything from me! Even you."
"I'm right here. How can she take me away? Can you please stop being so paranoid? Let go of your prejudices and look at your relationship from a different perspective. Maybe you'll feel better."
"Will it?"
"You try it."
"Okay! If that doesn't work, then it proves that she and I are not compatible."
"Maybe!"
When they were almost at the Water Conservancy Bureau, Zhou wanted to smuggle out a basket and a basket of eggs.
Passing by Wei's house, Wei Juan's mother was seeing off a guest. She was an old woman from the countryside. Hmm! I didn't expect my aunt to be so fast.
Wei Juan's mother glared at her fiercely. "Humph! My family will soon have a son-in-law who is better than Wang Qiao and that Zhou guy."
After passing each other, Zhou wanted to enter his yard, "Mom, I bought eggs."
"Hey! Put it down, I'll carry it."
"good!"
Zhou wanted to put the basket in the yard. There were 200 eggs, weighing more than 20 pounds, and the handle of the basket hurt his hand.
"Where's my eldest brother?"
"I'm going out to play. Zuo Heng and your third brother are taking them with me! Don't worry!"
"Yeah! I'm just worried that he'll be bullied by other kids because he's unfamiliar with the game."
"You! You're always worried about your elder brother."
"My eldest brother loves me, so of course I have to protect him."
In my previous life, I will never forget the elder brothers Feng Yun and Huang Jian who protected me and threatened and bullied me with trembling voices.
Unfortunately, he died of pleurisy when he was in junior college.
This was the diagnosis the doctor gave, but I knew he might have other problems. My mother said he had vomited blood before.
In his previous life, his family was ruined and everyone was struggling for themselves, and no one cared about him because of his low IQ.
