"If I hadn't bullied her before, it would have been fine. Now that she's started to act like a spoiled child, she'll definitely take revenge when she gets the chance. The three of us are all grown up now. If Grandpa asks us to go home and get married, Mom can immediately find someone, ask for a gift, and marry us off.
Isn't our mother looking for a farmer? She asked us to stay here so that we can find one in the county town. We should just stay quiet."
After hearing what her elder sister said, Zhou Xing stopped arguing. Zhou Li was only 12 years old and felt that this matter was far from her, so she just did whatever her elder sister said.
It was almost one o'clock when lunch was finally ready. Everyone sat around the octagonal table, and Zhou Xiang started to give them some eye drops again.
"It took three of us to prepare the meal until one o'clock, and half of it is still braised. If only one person cooked, grandpa wouldn't have lunch until the evening. No wonder aunt-in-law sent all three of you here! So that's how it is!"
The old man didn't say anything, and the three sisters didn't dare to refute him. Father Zhou tried to smooth things over, "Eat, eat."
Zhou Xiang looked at his eldest cousin and asked, "Are you turning a deaf ear to Grandpa's words?"
Seeing that his grandfather let Zhou Xiang do what he wanted, Zhou Ying had no choice but to leave the table. Zhou Xing was angry and was about to speak.
The old man picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let's eat!"
Zhou Xing could only swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth and poked at the food on the plate angrily.
"Second cousin, the way you pick up the food is so ugly. How can anyone else pick up that dish? You should pay attention to hygiene, okay?"
Zhou Xing was so angry that she put down her chopsticks, stood up and ran out.
"Grandpa, you should teach him a lesson. He doesn't care about hygiene and has no manners. He dared to throw the chopsticks and run away. If it were me, I would have been beaten eight hundred times. He has been spoiled and doesn't know what is good for him."
After saying that, she happily ate the food. The old man looked at his granddaughter who was eating happily. She had a very vicious mouth. However, Zhou Xing was really not good enough. She was not as steady as Zhou Ying, nor as obedient as Zhou Li.
"Okay, I'll teach you a lesson later. This is too unruly."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "That's right, if she were to marry in the countryside, it would be fine, but if she were to marry in the county town, such behavior would be a disgrace to our Zhou family!"
She sows discord with all reasonable reasons, putting others down and secretly elevating her family. Wow, this little granddaughter has become so powerful!
Zhou Yu ate quietly, watching his sister's every word and action. His sister had changed. Her words could make people angry to death, and she didn't have to pay with her life.
Zhou Niao happily picked up some food for her sister, "Eat it, sister. You are too thin."
Zhou Xiang also picked up a piece of meat for his eldest brother and said, "Brother, this is the pork belly you like. Next time Zhou Ying and the others accuse you of stealing meat, you beat them up. Humph, grandpa can't tell right from wrong anyway."
Zhou Niao looked at Zhou Xiang aggrievedly, "My sister is still the best. She knows everything, but grandpa doesn't know yet and still wants to beat me."
Zhou Xiang raised his head and looked at the old man with a smile.
Zhou Li was already staring at Zhou Xiang in amazement. Was she a monster? How did she know?
The old man looked at Zhou Li with a sullen expression, "Who stole the meat that time?"
Without her elder and second sisters, Zhou Li became timid, and the old man's imposing manner frightened her into confessing everything.
"The three of us ate it all. My second sister said that my cousin wouldn't argue, so it was just right to blame him."
Zhou Xiang laughed, "You're so talented. It's a bit of a waste of talent to serve Grandpa here!"
After saying that, he continued to eat, worried that there would be a commotion and he would not be able to eat.
He even put some food into the second sister's bowl and said, "Eat quickly, you won't be able to eat anymore."
Zhou Yu really admired his sister, as she had ruined both days of dinner.
Zhou Xiang picked up some more meat for his brother, "Eat quickly, there's a lot of meat."
Seeing Zhou Xiang's expression, the old man smiled and said to Zhou Li, "Don't eat anymore. Go inside and call your two sisters to kneel in the yard together."
Zhou Li put down her bowl and chopsticks and went out.
The old man looked at Zhou and thought, "Are you satisfied?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "You shouldn't ask me. I only care about my family. What these people will look like in the future has nothing to do with me.
I'll go back and tidy up the house first. It will probably take at least a month! During this time, you have to keep an eye on my big brother. If he gets bullied by those so-called relatives again, don't blame me for being heartless."
Zhou Xiang emphasized the word "relatives".
The old man nodded, "Don't worry! I will definitely punish them severely this time."
While people continued eating in the house, three people knelt obediently in the yard outside.
As soon as Zhou Li came back to the house and started talking, Zhou Ying knew that something bad had happened. His grandfather valued both education and character. After his second sister cheated on him and his sister and dragged him and his sister into it, he was worried that this day would come.
So when I heard my younger sister say that grandpa punished her by making her kneel, I immediately pulled my second sister out and made her kneel.
After Zhou Xiang finished his meal, he came out to see what was happening. Seeing the three of them kneeling obediently, he squatted beside them and asked, "How does it taste? Imagine how my eldest brother felt when he was wrongly accused of stealing meat."
Comparing the two, you feel better because my elder brother was wronged and you deserve it.
Zhou Xing, you don't have to stare at me. I have hundreds of ways to deal with you. I can even ask you to go back home immediately. Do you believe it? If you don't believe it, just try it. "
Zhou Ying held down his second sister and said to Zhou Xiang, "Please forgive others when you can."
Zhou Xiang laughed and said, "You know that too? But you only use it on others, why not on you?
I was so small, and my legs were bruised by the goose. Did you spare me? Are you worthy of me calling you cousin?
I would rather be relatives with pigs and dogs than with relatives like you, at least they won’t hurt people.”
"You hate us!" Zhou Ying said affirmatively.
"Yes, I hate it. Even if others treat me like this, I won't hate them. You are bullying the weak me in the name of your relatives.
When I was chased by a goose and couldn't run anymore, when the goose was twisting the flesh on my leg with its beak, I told myself that one day, when I found the opportunity, I would return it to you. Now I'm returned to you, so how is it? How does it feel? As I said before, you deserve it.
Zhou Xing was unconvinced, "This is just the first time for you. You won't have another chance in the future."
"Are you going to insist on not making mistakes? If there's no opportunity, I'll create it, understand? Grandpa values study the most. As long as I study hard and show him my certificates of merit frequently, who do you think he'll favor?"
"You, you are a scoundrel and shameless!"
"Same here, I learned this from you."
Zhou wanted to get up and go back to the house. Zhou Xing pounded the ground angrily. Zhou Ying looked at his little cousin's back in deep thought. Zhou Li opened her mouth wide and looked at her cousin with hatred.
Zhou wanted to go into the house and saw that everyone had finished eating, so he prepared to leave.
Zhou Niao grabbed Zhou Xiang and called her sister, refusing to let go.
Zhou Xiang patted the back of his hand soothingly, "I'll go back and fix the house. After the first lunar month, I'll come pick you up and take you home. You'll live at home from now on, okay?"
"How many days will it take to pass the first lunar month?"
Zhou wanted to pull him to the calendar hanging on the wall.
