Chapter 136 135: There is a baby
The three sisters-in-law seemed to have heard something out of the ordinary, and said in unison: "How is that possible!"
"Your aunt said it herself." Mother Zhou curled her lips. "At noon, I was looking for vegetables in the vegetable garden. Li Yinfu deliberately came over to show off her new clothes. I praised her a few words and she told me that."
"What did you say?"
"They say Zhou Huaixing is going to be an official!" Zhou's mother said sourly, "They also say he has met a noble man and is now a liaison officer for the Dongdong Society, helping the higher-ups raise money to unfreeze the treasures.
He also said that when they have collected enough money to unfreeze the baby, in addition to rewarding Huaixing with a large sum of money, they will also give him a house in the city, and their family will have a state-owned household registration in the future. "
Zhao Huifang and Li Qiuyue looked at her in surprise, "What kind of treasure is so valuable?"
Zhang Xiuxiang frowned and said, "Mom, if it's a treasure, why do you have to raise money to get it? Are you lying to her?"
Mother Zhou shook her head: "I don't know. Li Yinfu said that Zhou Huaixing showed them a letter of appointment with a big red official seal. He also said that Huaixing's benefactor was sent by the higher-ups. It was published in the newspaper two years ago. He even showed them the newspaper."
Li Qiuyue exclaimed, "Oh my! So powerful, the first wife will be in great demand in the future!"
Zhang Xiuxiang shook her head. "I always feel that something is wrong here. Why did that nobleman ask Zhou Huaixing to help him raise money? People in the city are much richer than those in the country. Why doesn't he ask them for money?"
"That's right, Xiuxiang is still clear-headed!" Zhou's mother glared at Li Qiuyue, "What's the big deal? Even if the first wife gave birth to an emperor, I wouldn't be jealous!"
Li Qiuyue quickly smiled and said, "Mom is right! What's there to be jealous of?"
"Who are you jealous of?" Yang Chunyan came out from the kitchen and looked at several people with different expressions.
Mother Zhou said, "We are talking about the eldest family's Zhou Huaixing who wants to..."
After hearing this, Yang Chunyan suddenly remembered a major event that happened in her previous life. The police arrested more than a dozen people in the town and the countryside.
The brigade’s loudspeakers were shouting every day that there were scammers in several nearby towns and villages, looking for many ordinary people who wanted to make a fortune.
They were deceived into believing that the people over there had hidden a treasure here before escaping to Wanwan. If they wanted to unfreeze the treasure, they would first need to pay the treasure keeper a fee for unpacking the treasure.
The scammers told the deceived villagers that they were now working hard to raise the "unfreezing funds".
As long as you pay 200 yuan to the unfreezing committee, once they have gathered enough unfreezing funds and successfully unfrozen the treasure, they will return a large sum of money to you.
Moreover, the more money a family donates to unfreeze the treasure, the more money they will get back after they get the treasure!
In the previous life, the second branch of the Zhou family was not only penniless but also heavily in debt, so no one came to the second branch to raise funds, and no one was deceived when the incident happened.
It seems that the eldest wife was defrauded of a sum of money, because the aunt was depressed for a long time and even fell seriously ill. Zhou Huaixing and his wife seemed to have gone to help relatives in other places.
Yang Chunyan recalled this and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, there is no such good thing in the world! Don't believe that pie in the sky will come true. Maybe people have already dug a trap for those who want to get rich."
"Think about it, whether it's in a movie or on stage, do those who try to take advantage of others get any advantage in the end and have a good ending?"
"Chunyan is right!" Mother Zhou felt that Chunyan's words spoke her mind, and she said to Zhao Huifang and the other two, "If the eldest wife asks you to raise money, you three are not allowed to waste the money!"
"I told you that if you try to get a small advantage, you will suffer a big loss. What's more, it's such a big advantage now. Who knows how big a loss you will suffer in the end?"
Zhou's mother said the last sentence while looking at Li Qiuyue.
Li Qiuyue glanced at her awkwardly and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't go."
Zhou's mother said calmly, "Anyway, the money in each room is kept by you. If any of you wants to take advantage of it and make a lot of money, I can't do anything to her."
"Got it. We won't go."
Over there, Zhou Huaian asked Zhou Huaishan to go to Zhou Yiding's house together. When they arrived at his door, they saw that the gate was closed. Through the crack in the door, they could only see that the yard was dark.
"Ding Ding Cat, Ding Ding Cat! Are you back?" Zhou Huaian knocked on the door and whistled.
Dahei called out twice inside and stopped when he heard Zhou Huaian's voice.
"Here I come!" Zhou Yiding ran out of the house, opened the gate and shone the flashlight at him, "Wow! How come your kid is so brave today that he dares to run out after dark?"
Zhou Huaian looked at him with a smile, "My third brother came with me."
"Yiding is back!" Zhou Huaishan also greeted with a smile.
Since Zhou Yiding helped lend them the chainsaw from his old man's unit and helped find the wood.
After the few people had interacted with each other in the mountains for a few days, Zhou's father and brothers felt that he was not as unreliable as the villagers said, and they changed their attitude towards him.
"Third brother, come in and sit down!" Zhou Yiding politely let Zhou Huaishan into the yard and glanced at Zhou Huaian. "I heard from Erchun that you had a fight with the Ye family? I stayed in the mountains, I didn't know anything about your fight."
"Yes, my second brother and Ye Dashuang are in Fangtian Brigade... You bastard, before we even went to look for him, the whole family showed up at our door."
"Good job, that bastard deserves to be beaten!" Zhou Yiding said as he picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for Zhou Huaishan, "Third brother, drink some water!"
Zhou Huaishan took it and sat down, "You guys talk, don't bother with me."
Zhou Yiding was not polite either. He sat down and looked at Zhou Huaian with a smile, "Sister-in-law is still digging herbs to sell?"
Zhou Huaian: "Well! I dug up some chicken blood vine and some stone ginger in the mountains today. I plan to send them to Ning An to sell tomorrow!"
Zhou Yiding: "My old man said that people used to go into the mountains to collect herbs and sell them, but no one has gone since the Little Tail was caught. I heard from the logging team that there are many herbs in the forest farm, but I can't recognize them.
You and your sister-in-law can go to the forest farm when you have time. If you find some good herbs, you will have money to repair your house."
"As expected of a brother, you even think the same thing!" Zhou Huaian slapped him happily, "I came to you to ask you how long you are going to stay in the mountains. I want to take Chunyan to your place to dig herbs."
"We'll have to stay for another month!" Zhou Yiding scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm going to Baima Town for a blind date tomorrow morning. I was planning to go up the mountain right after I get back. If you want to go, we can go together the day after tomorrow morning. I'll call you then!"
"Yes!" Zhou Huaian winked at him, "We've met on a blind date, remember to bring her back for us to see!"
Zhou Yiding looked constipated and said, "You recognize her. She's my third aunt's daughter. She used to bring me here to play."
Zhou Huaian's mind flashed with a girl with a red hairband and an apple face, who looked at him in surprise, "Are you talking about the chili pepper?"
