Chapter 35 No, who wants you?
After Xie Zhizhi finished speaking, she left with Wen Jinzhou.
Guo Hong happily saw the two of them out.
As they were almost out of sight, Xie Zhizhi remembered something and quickly added, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to wash his clothes for him; the child can wash them himself."
Xie Zhizhi thought: I almost let my child live a comfortable life because of my carelessness.
Zhou Xie was still happy that he didn't have to collect scraps anymore, but the next day Xie Zhizhi packed him up and took him out of the house.
Xie Zhizhi told him to pack his clothes, and Zhou Xie was even a little happy, "Did Dad and Mom come to pick me up?"
Xie Zhizhi bent down and smiled at him like a wolf aunt, shaking her head slightly, "Your mom and dad didn't come to pick you up!"
"But your aunt has found you a new place to stay. You can stay there from now on!"
"A new place to live?" Zhou Xie's small brows furrowed.
Xie Zhizhi smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
Then he suddenly straightened up, his smile fading. "Alright, let's go!"
Zhou Xie originally didn't want to spend a single second with Xie Zhizhi, but now...
He followed Xie Zhizhi carrying the package. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped, frowned, and asked Xie Zhizhi, "Did you sell me to someone else?"
After he finished speaking, his lips trembled, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Xie Zhizhi mercilessly exposed his lie: "No, kid, do you think you're in high demand?"
"Is it really that easy to find a buyer?"
"No, who wants you?"
“You’re so old now, you remember everything. Not only can other people not tame you if they buy you, but you’re also so lazy, always thinking about eating meat,” Xie Zhizhi said with great disdain. “Do you think everyone is a sucker like me?”
Zhou Xie stopped crying and started staring at Xie Zhizhi's back with wide eyes, like a frog. Bad woman, nobody wants her.
Xie Zhizhi was still complaining from the front, "Tsk, I paid money to send you to be raised by someone else for a while."
“You’ll have to ask your parents for it later!” Xie Zhizhi added.
Zhou Xie immediately objected upon hearing this, "You were the one who insisted on leaving me here, but you didn't take me with you and sent me to someone else's house. Why should my parents give you money?"
Xie Zhizhi shook her finger with her back to him, "No, no, no, I only kept you because your parents owe me money. It wasn't for no reason."
"There's a reason for that, so of course your parents should pay for the expenses you incurred."
Zhou Xie hated her even more; when he grew up, he would beat her to death.
They bullied him and even wanted his parents' money; they were absolutely wicked.
Although Zhou Xie hated Xie Zhizhi, he could only accept his fate.
Who told Xie Zhizhi to be a bad person!
Otherwise, he might start crying and making a fuss.
When Xie Zhizhi led Zhou Xie to Guo Hong's place, Guo Hong was wiping her child's bottom.
She has a child who is a little over two years old and can't squat to use the toilet yet. He poops in a spot not far from the front door of the house, and after he's done, she shovels it up with a shovel and throws it in the toilet.
She had just finished wiping the baby's bottom, so she hadn't had time to clean up the poop yet.
Zhou glanced at it and covered his nose in disgust.
Xie Zhizhi reacted calmly and greeted Guo Hong naturally, "Sister-in-law, this is my nephew, Zhou Xie."
"Zhou Xie, call her Auntie!"
Zhou Xie didn't even take Xie Zhizhi seriously, so how could he possibly care about outsiders? Therefore, he simply ignored Xie Zhizhi's words.
Guo Hong could tell from her cold eyes whether this child was someone who needed to be disciplined.
So she patted her child's bottom, telling him to go play somewhere else, and then smiled as she took the things from Zhou Xie's hands, saying, "Okay, don't worry, I'll take good care of the person who brought them here."
"We'll give him whatever we eat at home, so he won't go hungry."
But he definitely won't get away with it.
Xie Zhizhi liked Guo Hong very much because Guo Hong was a smart person; she didn't need to explain herself, and Guo Hong understood what she meant.
So Xie Zhizhi happily gave Guo Hong the fifteen yuan she had brought, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you with the rest, sister-in-law."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. I've already taken your money, why would I say it's troublesome!"
Xie Zhizhi waved her hand, "It's my duty," and then turned to leave!
Guo Hong politely said, "Commander's wife, shall I see you off?"
Xie Zhizhi waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that it wasn't necessary. "Sister-in-law, don't be so polite. You go ahead and do your work!"
"Then I won't see you off!"
"Um!"
Even after Xie Zhizhi had walked a distance, she could still hear Guo Hong's loud voice: "You, go and shovel that shit."
Zhou Xie protested, "Why should I shovel it?"
"Aren't you disgusting?"
"That wicked woman gave you money, and you still expect me to do chores for your family?"
Zhou Xie saw it clearly; Xie Zhizhi had given him money, so there was no way he would do it.
If that wicked woman Xie Zhizhi dared to hit him, would this woman who took his money also dare to hit him?
Guo Hong was indeed not someone to hit, but afterwards she ignored him.
They didn't even greet him.
She just stared at him coldly.
Zhou Xie lost his toughness.
Zhou Xie even considered going inside to sit down, but he wasn't sure if he should go in.
He just stood there, looking so lifeless.
I've been standing here all morning!
Guo Hong cooked lunch.
But even though she scooped out the noodles by hand, served them to the child, and then ate them herself, she still didn't call out to Zhou Xie.
Zhou Xie's stomach started growling.
He now thinks collecting scraps is not so bad, at least he can have sesame seed cakes for lunch.
It seems Xie Zhizhi isn't so bad after all. At least when he picks up a lot of things, Xie Zhizhi will buy him a meat pie.
Zhou Xie prepared to go back to find Xie Zhizhi, as he was feeling really unwell from hunger.
Just as he was about to move his foot, Guo Hong, who had finished eating, called out to him, "Come here!"
As the sound rang out, Guo Hong placed a bowl of white noodles on the small table by the door.
"Have a meal!"
"So lazy! He doesn't even know to serve the food when it's ready. He's just an idiot in our village!"
"Your parents are such freeloaders. They gave birth to a stupid son, but instead of supporting him, they've brought trouble to your aunt."
"If I were your aunt, I'd throw you as far away as possible, you're such bad luck!"
Guo Hong's mouth is like a machine gun; she launches into a barrage of insults as soon as she opens her mouth.
Zhou Xie wasn't so hungry anymore after being scolded by her.
But after Guo Hong finished cursing, she stared at him with fierce eyes, and Zhou Xie could only walk past her in humiliation.
I was mainly hungry.
Seeing him sit down, Guo Hong said again, "After you finish eating, wash all the dishes. Don't be such a grown man, you don't even know how to do chores. You think you're some kind of young master."
Zhou Xie gripped his chopsticks tightly and remained silent.
Guo Hong ignored him and went to sleep with her youngest son.
Zhou Xie ate the bland noodles, still wanting to escape.
But he didn't know where to escape to.
Looking for Xie Zhizhi?
Will they be sent back anyway?
Should we look for his parents?
But where are his parents?
Zhou Xie felt some resentment towards his family.
Xie Zhizhi, that wicked woman, wants money, so just give it to her!
Let's switch him back first!
Look at the state I've become.
——
Xie Zhizhi no longer cared about Zhou Xie's situation after leaving Guo Hong.
Although she didn't know exactly what Zhou Xie would face, Xie Zhizhi thought it wouldn't be pleasant.
After leaving Guo Hong, Xie Zhizhi went back to rummage through her own money.
When she arrived, her mother-in-law, Wu Caifeng, lent her thirty yuan.
After arriving there, Zhou Lin had Wen Jinzhou give her fifty dollars.
