Zhou Xing became more confident. "Lin Jin's infidelity has caused me great mental harm. He comes to my house every day to cause trouble, which makes me live in fear. Not only does he not admit his mistake, he even beats me. Look at my face."
Zhou Xing turned to face the door, exposing her red and swollen face to the villagers. "I want him to compensate me for my mental damages and medical expenses, a total of 1,500 yuan."
"Impossible!" Lin Jin refused directly without his father asking. He was planning to take away all their savings!
Village chief Lin also felt that it was a bit too much, so he discussed it with Zhou Yidonggang.
Zhou Yidong shook his head. "No, emotional damage is invisible. If you disagree, just take legal action and see what the court decides."
If we take legal action, won’t everyone know about Lin Jin’s affair?
Village chief Lin could only pull Lin Jin and Lin Jin's father aside to discuss the matter. The three of them started arguing. Village chief Lin was so angry that he wanted to drive Lin Jin's family out of the village. Only then did Lin Jin's father agree.
Then there was the issue of child support. Lin Jin's father insisted that the child was from the Lin family and must belong to Lin Jin.
Zhou Xing was about to agree immediately, but Zhou Yidong spoke up, "With his father's character, can he educate the child well? It's better for the child to live with his mother."
Of course Lin Jin's father disagreed. After a long argument, Zhou Yidong said that unless the Lin family did not ask the woman to pay child support.
Only then did Lin Jin's father and Village Chief Lin understand why Zhou Yidonggang wanted to fight for custody of the child.
Even though I know it, I have to hold it in. Should I give the child to the woman's family to pay for child support? Then I may lose both my money and my child.
She wrote the divorce agreement in frustration, clearly marking all the clauses and terms, and was even unwilling to help Lin Jin hide the reason for the divorce.
Zhou Xing packed her clothes, took the passbook with 3,000 yuan, and went to the town to go through the divorce procedures.
Zhou Xing returned to Zhoujia Village happily.
Zhou Wang picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Zhou wanted to laugh at him for being so good at keeping things in suspense. "I know even without you saying it. She'll definitely be scolded by her mother when she gets back to the village!"
Zhou Wang nodded, "Fifth Aunt is amazing. Guess again."
"Her mother would definitely say she was stupid, that she believed me, that I had bad intentions, that I deliberately asked her to divorce, that I was lying to her."
Zhou Wang opened his eyes wide, "Fifth Aunt, you seem to have seen the scene."
"Haha, how could I not understand what kind of person my aunt-in-law is?"
Zhou Wang chuckled and said, "Ninth Grandma did say that, and Third Grandpa got angry and gave Fourth Aunt a job in the watermelon planting in the fall. She earned tens of thousands of yuan!"
"Is your ninth great-grandmother trying to appease your fourth aunt again?"
Zhou Wang nodded repeatedly, "That's right! Fourth Aunt didn't believe her anymore and insisted on managing her own money. Ninth Grandma was looking through her bankbook at home and was discovered by Fourth Aunt. She then moved out of Ninth Grandma's house and moved into the old house of Great Great Grandfather. She said she wasn't afraid because Great Great Grandfather would protect the younger generation."
Zhou Xing finally grew up smart. If she really listened to her aunt, she would have to forget about growing watermelons next time.
In the afternoon, when Zhou Yidonggang left, Zhou Xiang gave his third uncle 30 kilograms of watermelon seeds.
Zhou Yidonggang didn't bring enough money, so he wanted to think that the ten kilograms were a gift to be used by the villagers to make arrangements for people like Zhou Xing and the elderly and widowed people living alone.
Zhou Yidong accepted it and asked, "Can we make the lake in our village look like your park?"
Zhou Xiang nodded. "It can be built, but it can't be like mine. Wait two years, and we'll go back and build the lake. If you have time, dig and make the lake bigger."
Zhou Yidong was completely relieved, "Okay!"
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Hua returned to school. He needed to report back to school and get an internship certificate before he could go to ZX Company in Beijing for an internship.
On March 1, the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Yu was released from confinement and had a bath. The weather was gradually getting warmer, and Zhou Yuanyuan dared to be brought downstairs to play more often.
Looking at his niece's round and bright eyes, Zhou Xiang decided to keep a portion of the Peiyuan liquid for himself, so that when she became pregnant, she could drink it to nourish the fetus.
Little Zhou Yuanyuan is obviously in good spirits. She cries when she is carried upstairs, and laughs when she is carried downstairs.
Zhou's mother laughed and said that she was a smart girl who knew how to get benefits for herself early on.
Since the child was able to go downstairs and there were many people to take care of him, Aunt Wang planned to resign. Zhou wanted to give her more money as Aunt Wang was really attentive in taking care of the child, and she was old and did not have the energy to continue her work.
After Aunt Wang left, Zhou Yu could take care of the child for a long time by himself, and the blind aunt helped to take over. Zhou's mother only needed to make soup and look after Zhonglan and her daughter, and the workload was still bearable.
Zhou wanted to call Ma Gua and ask him to take the job. Ma Gua was very quick.
Looking at the blueprint, Ma Gua pointed at the large gap in the middle of the floor slab and asked, "Why leave it empty here?"
“Escalator.”
Ma Gua immediately flipped through the next few drawings, which were similar to the first one. "How many floors do you plan to build?"
"Eighth floor. The eighth floor is residential, so this corner," Zhou Xiang pointed to a corner of the drawing, "is also the space for an elevator. It's a direct elevator, and it only stops on the eighth floor."
After Ma Gua looked at the corner of each drawing, he looked at the drawing on the eighth floor. The two discussed for a while, and then Ma Gua took the drawing and left.
"Master Ma Gua, I have an acquaintance who is looking for a job. I asked her to come on the 20th. Then I will tell them to go directly to the back warehouse to find you."
Ma Gua nodded, "Yes! Just tell someone to come find me directly."
"Also, take the demolition waste and wall plaster to Guanjia Village. From the blacksmith shop yard at the north end, all the way to the road in front of my godfather's house, pave it with cement first. When it's almost done, pave it with cement."
Ma Gua was surprised. "Boss Zhou, you're stealing the Highway Bureau's work. That's public property, why would you repair it privately? It's not in this food station, so you can still use it."
"Just think of it as my contribution to the town! Secretly, I visit my godfather more often just for convenience; the old couple are too lonely."
“I don’t understand the way rich people think.”
Ma Gua sighed and left. Ling Ran sat down next to his wife. "Why does Ma Gua look a bit like Uncle Xie?"
"Stop nagging. Go pickle the eggs!" Zhou Xiang pulled him back to his building and threw him into the space.
When Zhou Xiang wanted to pick up Ling Ran again, he saw him grinning, "Wife, those two bitches have puppies again."
Zhou Xiang, who had never paid attention to the gender of Xiao Huang and the others, asked curiously, "Are all three of Xiao Huang's dogs male?"
Ling Ran was stunned by the question, "You don't know?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "I don't know. It's impossible for Da Huang to give birth to a litter of sons, right?"
Ling Ran couldn't answer this question. "The three little yellow ones are all male. I don't know if the one you gave to grandma is male or female."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. The bitch is having puppies. You're happy, but how can Da Huang be happy?"
Ling Ran's face fell, "Da Huang won't let me get close to the bitch anymore."
Zhou Xiang laughed heartily. "It's afraid of you. You took away 12 of its offspring at once. It's a wonder it'll let you get close."
