Ye Li and Jiang Xi returned to the courtyard and suddenly found a wall in the middle of the courtyard. This wall happened to be located in the open space between Ye Li's house and Aunt Liu's house.
"What's going on! Who put up a big wooden board in the middle of the yard? It's blocking the way!" Jiang Xi immediately shouted in the middle of the yard upon seeing this.
This large wooden board not only blocked some of the sunlight into Ye Li's house, but also blocked half of the sunlight into Jiang Xi's house.
"What are you shouting about? This board is just temporarily placed here. I'll have it removed in two days." Aunt Liu came out of the house impatiently. She glanced at Ye Li and Jiang Xi and went back to the house. This was the fifth person to protest today, but they were all dismissed by Aunt Liu.
"Aunt Liu! Can't you move this thing away today? It takes up too much space!" Jiang Xi said as he kicked the big wooden board and found that it was still standing quite solid. It must be partially buried in the soil.
"I know, I know!" Aunt Liu responded unhappily.
Ye Li and Jiang Xi returned to the house. Aunt Liu stretched her head and looked outside again. She felt that the wooden board she had erected was quite straight.
"Mom, will our method work? I estimate that it will be demolished in two days." Zhang Sui asked worriedly.
"It absolutely can work! The master said so. As long as this wooden board stands in this yard for 49 days, your luck will turn and you'll be able to find a very good job! And I can guarantee that you'll give birth to another boy for my Zhou family!" Aunt Liu's words were so blunt that Zhang Hui blushed.
...
...
"Mom, what does 'with a penis' mean?" Zhou Zhou heard the conversation between the two and asked in confusion with her big eyes wide open.
"It's a boy! Zhou Zhou, you will have a younger brother soon. You must take good care of him then." Aunt Liu explained to Zhou Zhou.
But when she heard what Aunt Liu said, Zhou Zhou's face immediately darkened. She turned around and ran back to her room without saying a word, then slammed the door shut.
"Hey, little brat! What's wrong with you today?" Aunt Liu didn't expect Zhou Zhou to get angry when he heard her words.
"Mom, it's okay. It's getting late, isn't it time to cook?" Zhang Hui said as she urged Aunt Liu to cook.
"Oh, that's right. Zhou Xuan should be back for dinner in a while. Oops, there are no vegetables today. I remember I bought two cucumbers, but how come they are gone?" Aunt Liu originally wanted to chop some cucumbers, but who knew that there were no vegetables left in the kitchen.
"I saw Zhou Lin eat it this morning." Zhang Hui answered casually.
"Ah! She's still eating these two cucumbers! Just let her eat them. She didn't even think to buy some. She's so old, what's the point of being a lazy lazy kid at home? Zhang Hui, do you have a suitable candidate? Introduce a husband to Zhou Lin and marry her off quickly, so that she won't always eat secretly at home!" Aunt Liu was very dissatisfied with the fact that Zhou Lin was living at home.
"That's great. I'll think about it now. I'll try to find a good family for my sister-in-law and let her marry into one and live happily!" Zhang Hui became interested when she heard this. This was also a way to drive Zhou Lin out of the house.
"Okay, then you pay more attention." Aunt Liu was very satisfied with Zhang Hui's answer.
"Oh, what are we having for dinner today? There are no vegetables..." Aunt Liu was too lazy to go out to buy more vegetables. She glanced at Zhang Hui, hoping that Zhang Hui could go out to buy some.
But Zhang Hui acted as if she didn't hear anything. She just lowered her head and was thinking about how to knit a sweater for Zhou Zhou.
Seeing that Zhang Hui had no intention of going out, Aunt Liu had no choice but to carry the basket and go out to buy vegetables.
I met an old acquaintance, Aunt Lu, on the road. I just wanted to say hello to her, but it made me angry.
"Aunt Liu, why do you come out to buy groceries by yourself? Where is your daughter-in-law? She doesn't work, so how come she doesn't know how to buy groceries and cook for the family?" Aunt Lu asked with a smile.
"Hey, Zhang Hui said she wanted to help me with the work, but I just couldn't bear to let her go. She's my new daughter-in-law." Aunt Liu was not happy in her heart, but she defended Zhang Hui. Because she knew that if she said something bad about Zhang Hui, it would spread quickly in the compound.
These aunties and sisters are like messengers. No gossip escapes their ears.
"A new bride! How long have they been married? Do you know our old lady Daju's family? Her new bride took care of all the housework the next day, and she's still working!"
As soon as Aunt Lu said this, Aunt Liu felt unbalanced. As the saying goes, comparison is the worst.
"What's so good about that? We marry a daughter-in-law to love her! I don't need a nanny. I'm nimble and can do anything!" Aunt Liu could only bite the bullet and find a way out.
"Hahaha, you're right! Your Zhang Hui is lucky to have such a good mother-in-law like you! Okay, go buy some groceries, I have to go home too." Aunt Lu said and left.
But Aunt Liu felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly. She glared at Aunt Lu's back as she left. She said to herself, "Mind your own business! Why are you always staring at other people's families when your own family is just living its life?"
After venting her anger, Aunt Liu walked out quickly with the basket on her shoulder.
At this time, Zhang Hui, who was at home, had no idea that Aunt Liu was dissatisfied with her laziness and gluttony.
She took out a bag of melon seeds from her room, put them on the table and started eating them.
"I want to eat melon seeds too!" Xiaohu came back from school. He saw Zhang Hui holding melon seeds in her hand and reached out to take them.
Zhang Hui slapped Xiaohu's hand away and told him to wash his hands.
"It's so troublesome. I have to wash my hands after eating melon seeds!" Although Xiaohu complained, he still did it obediently.
"I've washed it! Can we eat it now?"
But who knew that before Xiaohu even stretched out his hand, he was scolded by Zhang Hui.
"Look at your washed hands! They are not clean at all! Go wash them again!" Zhang Hui didn't even raise her eyelids and asked Xiaohu to continue washing his hands.
"I washed it very clean!" Xiaohu was anxious. He didn't care what Zhang Hui said. He rushed over and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and held it in his hand.
Zhang Hui looked into the courtyard and found no one there, so she reached out and pinched Xiao Hu's thigh.
"Ah! It hurts! Why are you still pinching me?" Xiaohu was pinched so hard that he couldn't help but scream.
"Where did I pinch you? You bumped your head against the corner of the table. Don't blame me for everything!" Zhang Hui said and glared at Xiaohu.
"I'll tell my grandma! You pinched me!" Xiaohu rubbed the place where he was pinched aggrievedly and rushed out of the room.
At this time, Ye Li happened to pass by the door. Zhang Hui's face immediately changed and she shouted outside the door: "Xiao Hu, you must wash your hands before eating! Otherwise, you will get sick."
But at this time, Xiaohu didn't listen to Zhang Huier's call at all. He just threw the melon seeds in his hand on the ground and ran away crying.
"Child, I just asked you to wash your hands, why are you crying? Alas... It seems that I still can't get into your heart. But it doesn't matter, I will definitely be a good mother to you!" Zhang Hui chased out and acted like a good mother to Ye Li.
