Zhou Xing raised her hand and touched her forehead, feeling bitter in her heart. Her mother had never defended her like this. Zhou Xiang's words were unpleasant, but she always defended her.
"Zhou Xiang, can I really come back?"
Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to my third uncle and second grandfather later. Women in our Zhoujia Village, as long as they don't make any mistakes, must ask for justice if they are bullied by their husband's family.
If they can't live together anymore, they will divorce and come back like ordinary villagers. The women in Zhoujia Village will not compromise.
If your mother doesn't accept you, you can ask the villagers to build you a house. When you make money, you can also build a house in the new village and marry a son-in-law. As a woman, as long as you can endure hardship, you don't need to rely on men. "
Zhou Xing listened and felt that life was really beautiful, more beautiful than she had ever imagined.
"Zhou Xiang, I, I apologize to you. I was the one who let you down before."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "I don't accept apologies. It's better for you to go against me. Okay, if you want to cry, just keep lying there!"
After saying that, she stood up and returned to the middle of the dirt road. Ling Ran pulled her hand, but she shook it off. What kind of pulling and tugging was that?
Zhou Xing smiled, it was great that she could start a new life.
She got up and followed the three people in front of her into the old village.
The fifth uncle also heard what Zhou Xiang said to criticize Zhou Xing and thought it made sense. Zhoujia Village is no longer the Zhoujia Village of the past. The girls who are married out of Zhoujia Village cannot be asked to compromise in their husband's family.
On the way, my fifth uncle asked someone to call Zhou Yidonggang.
Zhou wanted to go back to his second grandfather's house and tell him what had just happened.
Second Grandfather nodded, "Yes, we didn't think of this before. In ancient times, if a daughter was wronged after getting married, her parents would help her seek justice! Since Zhou Xing's husband has a woman outside, then divorce him. Zhoujia Village will accept this wronged and divorced daughter back home.
However, we will not accept anyone who has made a mistake themselves."
"Yes! We have to make it clear. Don't make a mistake and then try to come back to avoid disaster. It's impossible. Zhoujia Village cannot let others point fingers at us."
Zhou Yidong came over, and Second Grandpa explained the situation to him. He nodded, "Okay! I'll include this in the village rules and announce it publicly."
After saying that, he stood up and shouted outside: "Zhou Xing, come in."
Zhou Xing walked in hesitantly.
Zhou Yidong asked, "What do you think? Are you still going to get by?"
Zhou Xing shook her head. "He was caught in that woman's bed. That woman's husband comes to our house every day to make trouble. Even if this matter is resolved, I don't want to live with this man anymore."
"So, what are your plans for compensation?"
Zhou Xing didn’t understand. She didn’t know how to ask for compensation.
Zhou Xiang glared at her in frustration, "How much savings do you have at home? You can take half of it, and then ask him to compensate you for cheating on you and beating you up. The amount you ask for should be something he can afford. You're asking for an exorbitant price, and he can't afford it. He's definitely being a scoundrel."
Zhou Xing found her target, her eyes lit up. "I have 3,000 yuan in savings at home. I want 1,500 yuan. Can I ask him to pay 1,000 yuan?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Of course, you can ask for more, and bring your brothers with you.
Humph! Men become bad when they have money. In other villages, three thousand yuan is considered a lot of savings. Third uncle also wants to warn the men in the village that if they dare to do bad things outside, they will not be eligible to participate in the planting. If the offense is serious, they will be asked to stay in the old village. "
Zhou Yidong nodded, "Yes! We're going to add two more village rules this time. Okay, Zhou Xing, let's go now without further ado. Your facial injuries are the best proof."
Zhou thought, "Hurry up and bring more people with you. If you meet someone on the road, don't be embarrassed and tell them directly. Let other villages know how we in Zhoujia Village protect our married daughters."
Zhou Xing happily followed Zhou Yidong out. Zhou wanted to remind her, "Zhou Xing, you should be looking sad at this moment."
Zhou Xing paused, then continued talking to Zhou Yidong. Intermittent crying sounds could be heard from outside.
Second Grandpa chuckled, "Zhou Xing! You seem to understand things now that you're married. Alas! You were taught the wrong way by your aunt."
Zhou Xiang declined to comment. His aunt was only thinking about the wealth that could cost her life.
When his father came back, Zhou Xiang said he wanted to go back, but his second grandfather tried to keep him.
Zhou Quan secretly told him that his daughter was making trouble in the park in the town!
A smile immediately appeared on the second grandfather's lost face, thinking that she didn't want to eat in her hometown because she had something to do, which was not what he thought.
Xiao Feihu left Zhoujia Village, and Ling Ran was holding the basic outline of Zhoujia Village that he had just drawn.
The construction of the food station is still going on. Ling Ran visits the site every day and discusses with Xie Lin how to carry out the subsequent work.
Xie Lin was already familiar with the work process of digging the river channel and building the river embankment, so Ling Ran let him take charge and he accompanied his little girl every day.
Dong Yunrong also came to see the river construction. Seeing that her son had some free time, she brought up the engagement with Zhou's mother.
Zhou's mother didn't care. She was marrying a son-in-law. Dong Yunrong didn't feel reluctant, and she wouldn't refuse.
The two mothers discussed it and realized that it was already the 20th, the 21st day of the lunar calendar, so the only options were the 26th or the 28th.
Finally, they chose the 25th, the 26th day of the lunar calendar. Zhou didn't expect the two mothers to be so anxious, as it was only a week away from May Day.
Ling Ran was grinning from ear to ear. Zhou wanted to retort, "You're marrying me, shouldn't you be more reserved like a woman?"
Ling Ran was not ashamed, "I hate getting married."
Dong Yunrong expressed her helplessness towards her son. She had already let it go a long time ago. Ever since his domineering nature was revealed, she had given up hope on him.
She is very grateful that someone is willing to adopt her son, and she hopes to have a grandson or granddaughter soon.
Mother Zhou watched the interaction between the two and felt relieved. Ling Ran was indeed suitable to be the little girl of this world.
The date was set, and with only five days left, the two mothers hurriedly went about arranging their own tasks. The two parties involved had no self-awareness at all and still stuck together every day.
No, it was Ling Ran who clung to Zhou Xiang unilaterally. Zhou Xiang urged him to go back to help, but he insisted that his family didn't need him and that his parents could handle everything.
People are like dog-skin plasters, once you stick to them, you can’t get rid of them!
Many people in the town knew that the two were about to get engaged, and that Ling Ran was betrothing Zhou Xiang. When they saw the two, they joked, "Ling Ran, shouldn't you be shy and hide at home?"
Ling Ran glared at the person who said this, but the person was not afraid. He had seen Ling Ran being docile in front of Zhou Xiang many times. When Zhou Xiang was around, Ling Ran couldn't jump up and down. If Zhou Xiang was not around, he still wouldn't dare to say this.
Zhou wanted to pull Ling Ran away, "Okay, I was just joking, don't get carried away."
Ling Ran obediently followed Zhou Xiang back to Zhou's house. The man lowered his head and smiled secretly, for he had finally gotten his chance.
