Chapter 38 I have a husband, you don't.
Neither of them realized how silly they were. One of them straightened his back and went downstairs to buy breakfast.
After finishing his steamed bun in one go, he slung his big bag over his shoulder and headed out.
They all lead fulfilling lives.
Zhou Xie was also very fulfilled.
Zhou Xie had only been with Guo Hong for three days when he was already taught how to steam buns.
Even so, Guo Hong scolded him, "Look at you, a child this big. If you were in our area, leading cattle and sheep, planting rice seedlings, wouldn't you be able to do it all with ease?"
"If you walked like a millstone, I would have kicked you into a ditch long ago."
Zhou Xie had lost the toughness he had when he first arrived, and he pouted as if he was about to cry.
Guo Hong then yelled, "Cry, cry, cry! What are you crying for?"
"Are you even a man?"
"Tell me, how did your parents give birth to such a coward as you?"
"She cries and whine all the time; it's an eyesore."
Zhou Xie pouted, held her breath, and held back her tears, which welled up in her eyes but wouldn't fall.
Guo Hong immediately yelled, "Go sweep the floor! Don't be such a grown man, you don't even know how to do chores!"
Zhou Xie didn't dare to quit, because Guo Hongzhen dared to withhold his food.
She doesn't even dare to talk about Guo Hong's man, yet she dares to curse her own man.
Zhou Xie behaved himself.
But every night when he lay in bed, he would secretly wipe away tears, wondering why his parents hadn't come to pick him up yet.
Xie Zhizhi had no time to care about his feelings.
Xie Zhizhi bought a bunch of beads at the market, and then she sold more styles of hair ties and hair clips.
Of course, my daily income has also increased.
They sell at least thirty yuan every morning.
Xie Zhizhi was very satisfied.
Then Xie Zhizhi began to study jewelry such as earrings, ear pendants, and brooches.
With Xie Zhizhi's business booming, Wei Guihua and Xie Hongchao finally couldn't wait to go see their son.
Wei Guihua kept repeating in Xie Hongchao's ear, "I've been having dreams these past two nights, dreaming that Xiao Xie is sitting there crying."
As Wei Guihua spoke, she couldn't help but wipe away tears.
Xie Hongchao was still confidently shouting, "That good-for-nothing only dares to be tough for two days. She wouldn't dare to treat Xiao Xie badly forever."
Despite saying that, the couple still decided to go see their son.
Xie Hongchao went to see his son mainly because he felt that several days had passed and Xie Zhizhi should have behaved herself by now.
There might be a step missing.
Once they leave, Xie Zhizhi might obediently return the house to them.
It was almost 10 o'clock when the couple finally arrived at the military base by car.
This couple hasn't worked for almost two years; they've become so lazy that their bodies have become sluggish.
I slept until 7 a.m., ate breakfast lazily, and didn't leave until almost 8:30 a.m., so I didn't get to the military base until almost 10 a.m.
They didn't have the guts to force their way into the army base, so they had to obediently go to the communications room and say, "We are Commander Zhou and his wife..."
The comrade on duty in the communications room glanced at them and said, "I remember you!"
"Commander Zhou hasn't returned yet, and my sister-in-law went out early this morning; she's not at home in the dormitory."
"went...went out?"
After hearing this, Wei Guihua started wiping away tears and complaining to Xie Hongchao, "You said she wouldn't dare to treat Xiao Xie badly all the time, look at this, look at this."
Wei Guihua assumed that Xie Zhizhi had left early in the morning to take Zhou Xie to collect scraps again.
As for whether Zhou Xie might go to school...
Wei Guihua had secretly gone to the school these past two days; she knew that Zhou Xie hadn't gone to school yet.
Xie Hongchao hadn't expected Xie Zhizhi to be so brave all this time. His expression turned somewhat grim as he asked the comrades in the communications room, "When is she coming back?"
The comrade in the communications room only glanced at him and said, "Your wife is a free person. She is free to come and go as she pleases, and we have no right to interfere with her daily whereabouts."
Xie Hongchao "..."
It's as if I said something, but it's also as if I said nothing at all.
But he dared not ask any further questions.
They could only pull Wei Guihua to a shady spot, then take off their cloth shoes, sit down on the ground, and say, "We'll wait for her here. I don't believe she won't come back."
Wei Guihua was worried about her son, so she was naturally willing to wait.
Then the two of them sat down in the shade.
Xie Zhizhi had no idea that the two were waiting there. By the time she finished selling her goods and took the bus back with her bags, it was already past midnight.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the military base, she heard a piercing voice, "Xie Zhizhi!" Wei Guihua shouted loudly.
Then he quickly slipped on his cloth shoes, nudged Xie Hongchao who was almost asleep, and ran towards Xie Zhizhi.
When Xie Zhizhi saw the two of them, she felt no fear, only surprise.
If these two don't come soon, she'll think she's misjudged the situation.
She thought that Zhou Xie, the "root of the Xie family," was going to be stuck with her.
Thank goodness, they still came.
You didn't make a mistake, you didn't make a mistake.
Xie Zhizhi: Gamblers never have a good ending.
Upon seeing Xie Hongchao and his wife, Xie Zhizhi stood there happily waiting for them.
Xie Zhizhi: I'm definitely having some good fortune lately.
Look, not only are the jewelry pieces selling well, but even Zhou Xie's "money-losing" products, which were almost a liability, are being "sold."
Wei Guihua ran up to her, looked behind her, and asked, "Where's Xiao Xie?"
"We want to see Xiao Xie!"
Xie Hongchao also ran over in his slippers, saying, "Even if Xiao Xie is adopted by you now, we are still your biological parents. It's not too much to ask that we visit him."
Xie Zhizhi nodded, indicating her understanding, "It's not excessive, but..."
Wei Guihua immediately tensed up, "But what?"
Xie Zhizhi kindly asked her, "Are you late?"
"What do you mean?"
"What did you do to Xiao Xie?" Wei Guihua said, reaching out to grab Xie Zhizhi.
Xie Zhizhi nimbly dodged aside and pointed to the sentries a few steps away, signaling them not to get excited and not to try to earn a third-class merit.
Wei Guihua glanced at the sharp-eyed sentry and calmed down.
"What exactly did you do to Xiao Xie?"
Xie Hongchao also tensed up, "Xie Zhizhi, don't joke around. Xiao Xie is the root of our Xie family. If anything happens to him, I... my whole family will fight you to the death!"
Xie Zhizhi smiled and comforted them, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, what are you thinking? I'm still counting on my children to take care of me in my old age!"
Xie Hongchao immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Xie, you've raised him, he'll definitely be filial to you when you get old."
Xie Zhizhi nodded, "Yes, I don't have any money, but raising him would cost money, so I sent him away so I could go out to work and earn money!"
"Sent them away?" Wei Guihua screamed like a screaming chicken.
"Well, I need to make money and I don't have time to raise him, so I have to find someone else to take care of him!"
"Where...where was it sent?" Xie Hongchao was dumbfounded.
"I have a distant aunt..."
Before Xie Zhizhi had even finished weaving, Xie Hongchao stamped his foot in disbelief, "Xie Zhizhi, what happened to you?"
"Do you ever tell the truth?"
"You don't have any distant aunt."
"Oh, I have a distant aunt..."
Xie Hongchao stomped his foot again, "Xie Zhizhi, are you out of your mind?"
"We're siblings. What relatives do you have that I don't?"
“I have a husband, you don’t,” Xie Zhizhi answered swiftly.
