Chapter 952: Past and Present Life of Xu Zilan
A Dream of Nan Ke - Xu Zilan.
Being nearly fifty years old and having four children, Xu Zijin stayed in the hospital for half a month before Lu Hanzhou was willing to let her leave.
"Wife, I'm going to go through the formalities. Dad and Mom will be here soon. If the kids make a fuss, I've prepared the milk powder."
——My fairy mother-in-law.
Xu Zijin sighed.
Her son found his destined person when he was over fifty years old, and he had four twins. Mother Lu seemed to be decades younger.
In fact, she really looks decades younger.
In the tea during these days, Xu Zijin gave her spiritual pills to drink.
Not only her, but also the brothers and sisters of the Lu family, she gave them all. In a few days, each of them will become younger.
Looking at her man's straight waist, straight back, and black hair, Xu Zijin's eyes and face were full of love.
"Okay, go ahead. The kids are well behaved."
"These are our little babies. You know how well behaved they are."
"Hmmmm."
Lu Hanzhou nodded repeatedly. His four children were all there to repay his gratitude, so there was no need to worry.
While many of his comrades were congratulating him, Lu Hanzhou also heard many sighs, asking how he had four children at his age?
What to do in the future?
By the time his children grew up and got married, he would be nearly eighty years old.
The house, the car, and the bride price will overwhelm him.
Lu Hanzhou would not explain that he had a fairy-like wife and his wife’s space was filled with a lot of treasures.
Not to mention four children, even forty children would not be a burden to the two of them.
"Then I'll go pay the bill first."
"OK."
Lu Hanzhou went to pay the bill, and Xu Zijin was about to pack up. Just when he was halfway done, the door rang...
"Honey, you're back so soon?"
No one responded to her.
Just then…
"Second sister..."
This affectionate call of "Second Sister" is not something Xu Zilan could utter in this world.
Xu Zijin's heart trembled when he heard this: "Zi...Lan...?"
"It's me!"
The thin figure at the door with white hair and a haggard face is none other than Xu Zilan in this life.
“Second sister… Second sister… Wuuuu…”
Xu Zilan threw herself into Xu Zijin's arms and cried loudly: "That's great, second sister, I can still see you, that's great!"
This is……
Hearing this, Xu Zijin was even more shocked: "Zilan, you...you..."
Xu Zilan hugged Xu Zijin and nodded continuously: "Yes, yes, second sister, it's what you thought. I'm back."
"Second sister, I'm back."
Xu Zijin's heart beat faster: "When did you come back?"
"Half a month ago, I passed away over there. When I opened my eyes, I hit my head here and woke up after a few days of coma."
Very good!
That’s great, I have a new sister and a little more family love in my life.
Back to the early 1980s, although the two sisters were not close in the first twenty years, in the following decades, they became closer than real sisters.
Xu Zijin took out a banknote and wiped away Xu Zilan's tears: "Don't cry, it's good that you're back. We still have decades to go in the future."
After hearing this, Xu Zilan looked disappointed: "Second sister, I'm afraid my body... can't be hijacked for much longer... it's empty."
"I only believed you were back after hearing from my eldest sister that you gave birth to quadruplets."
"I came to see you because..."
Xu Zijin understood that Xu Zilan came here not just to visit.
From his hometown to the imperial capital, it is a full 1,500 kilometers. In this life, Xu Zilan has never even left the city.
"You want to find out about Zhou Jianyong's situation, right?"
Xu Zilan nodded honestly: "Yes, I have no chance with him in this life, but I want to see him."
No chance?
That's not necessarily the case.
Xu Zijin took a deep breath and said, "He had a very bad life... because of injuries, his legs were disabled."
"After coming down from the battlefield, he returned to his hometown."
"My parents passed away early. In order to take care of my younger brothers and sisters, they spent all their wages on the family and never married."
Disabled in both legs, never married...
Hearing these four words, Xu Zilan's heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.
I covered my face with my hands, tears streaming down my face.
After a long while, Xu Zilan finally calmed down: "Second sister, where is he now?"
"In his hometown, living with his older brother and his family."
After his rebirth, Xu Zijin found out everything about his two brothers-in-law.
Perhaps it was really destined that they would not have a good life in this life.
Especially Zhou Jianyong...
Lu Hanzhou went to see him specially. Not only was his health very poor, but his family conditions were also poor.
Seeing that he was very sad, Lu Hanzhou secretly fed him some spiritual pills and also recruited his nephew into the army.
Even so, he was not happy because of his disabled legs.
Live with Zhou Laoer?
Hearing this, Xu Zilan's heart twitched...
Having lived together for too long in her previous life, Xu Zilan knew every member of the Zhou family well.
Among the sisters-in-law in the Zhou family, Zhou Laoer's wife is the most cunning.
Although this person is not bad enough to harm others or do all kinds of bad things, he has a lot of little thoughts.
Can Zhou Jianyong live a good life if he lives with the second brother's family?
I'm afraid that every penny of that little salary had been taken away by his sister-in-law, right?
The more Xu Zilan thought about it, the more her heart ached.
I also miss the man who has loved me all my life...
But she knew that she could no longer take care of him.
"Second sister, my body won't last much longer. I just wanted to fulfill one wish."
"I haven't done well in my life. I can't take care of him anymore."
"I still have some money here. Please help me find a way to give it to him secretly. Tell him not to let anyone know about this money."
Xu Zijin knew that Xu Zilan's health was really bad in this life. Years of working so hard and exhausting herself caused her health to be extremely poor.
But, isn't she here?
"Please sit down. There is a disposable cup over there. Pour me a glass of water."
Thinking that her second sister wanted to drink water, Xu Zilan immediately obeyed and quickly poured the water.
"Here, second sister."
"It's warm water, just right for drinking."
Xu Zijin did not take it, but took out some spiritual pills that he had prepared long ago and threw them into the water.
"This is the latest product from abroad. It can repair human body functions."
“Although we cannot say that it has the effect of rejuvenating people, it can indeed make people look a lot younger.”
"Look at my full head of black hair. Is there a single white hair?"
Xu Zilan was so excited on the way here that she completely neglected to look at Xu Zijin's appearance. When she looked up...
"Second sister...really?"
"Will my body really get better after eating this?"
Xu Zijin nodded: "Am I not a living example? Drink it, and you will be better in two months."
Xu Zilan's hand holding the water began to tremble: "Second sister...how much does it cost?"
"I have more than 30,000 yuan on this card...I wonder if it's enough?"
Xu Zijin glared at Xu Zilan and said, "What's the point of paying me? Do we still have to talk about this?"
"It's a lot of money, more than 200,000 per pill."
"When you are well again, continue to open your 'Duowei'. This is my investment!"
With a "wow" sound, Xu Zilan burst into tears.
Crying my heart out...
Xu Zijin understood her feelings and did not try to persuade her. He just let her cry to vent her frustration.
"What's the matter?"
"Who are you? Do you know my wife?"
As soon as Lu Hanzhou came in, he found an old woman hugging her wife and crying bitterly, and he immediately became anxious!
Xu Zilan had almost cried enough, and when she heard Lu Hanzhou's voice, she immediately wiped away her tears.
Then, he raised his head and drank all the water in the cup in one gulp: "Second brother-in-law...it's me..."
"Zi Lan?"
Lu Hanzhou was dumbfounded: "Wife...she..."
Xu Zijin nodded towards her husband: "Yes, it's what you think."
Oh my god.
Lu Hanzhou wanted to ask God if this world was real...
But he was very happy.
Happy for Zhou Jianyong.
Lu Hanzhou knew very well how loving the couple were in that world.
Zhou Jianyong has never married and has disabled legs. He has worked hard for half his life, but now happiness is coming!
Thinking of this, Lu Hanzhouqing said excitedly: "Zilan, Jianyong will have someone to rely on for the rest of his life. He has had a hard time in the past ten years."
Hearing this, Xu Zilan burst into tears again: "Second brother-in-law, I will go find him in two months."
"I'll scare him now."
Two months?
Lu Hanzhou knew that his wife had given Xu Zilan the spiritual pill.
That's right, they have been closer than real sisters all their lives, and Xu Zilan obeys her second sister's arrangements in everything.
If his wife doesn't give the spiritual pills to his cousin, then she is definitely not his wife.
"Okay, I'll have someone accompany you then."
"Before you go, I will tell him that you are the one I introduced to him."
"He is a first-class combat hero. He could have been admitted to a medical nursing home for recuperation, but his brother refused..."
Of course I won’t.
Xu Zilan knew that his second brother's wife would never let him go...if he left, he would lose his money.
"Then...even if I go...what if they still refuse to let him leave?"
"You know his second brother's wife..."
I just know it, so I say it.
Lu Hanzhou narrowed his eyes and said, "His connections are still in the old unit. I'll find a way..."
"I have a solution!"
Lu Hanzhou's eyes immediately fell on Xu Zijin: "Wife, do you have any good ideas?"
In another dozen years, no one in China will be able to bully anyone!
As the economy takes off, revolutionary education must be given even greater attention.
Correctly guiding the thoughts of the next generation is the real great cause.
Xu Zijin immediately said: "I want to establish a patriotic education team."
"Establish multiple patriotic bases and carry out patriotic education in primary schools, middle schools, high schools and even universities across the country."
"Now there are documentaries in many countries. I reassembled them and made them into a special collection."
"Shoot some more footage of our border guards working hard on the border."
“Then we will form a team of lecturers to tell stories of soldiers bravely killing the enemy on the battlefield.”
"I want them to know that the life they have today is the result of the sacrifices of countless martyrs."
“It’s not that the years are peaceful, but that there are people who are carrying heavy burdens and moving forward.”
"History cannot be forgotten. We must let the next generation remember history and not forget the national humiliation."
This plan made Lu Hanzhou's blood boil: As expected, his wife is the most qualified military wife, no matter which life.
"Okay, I agree!"
"I will find the members of the lecture group, and I will also apply to the state for funds for the lecture group's travel."
Xu Zijin doesn't have to worry about money. Not to mention the huge amount of treasures in the space, the several million in cash... can last for a long time.
"No need to apply, I have no shortage of money."
"We'll discuss the specific plan when we get back. Let's be discharged from the hospital first."
right.
Long-term plans cannot be drawn up in a short period of time!
Lu Hanzhou was wondering why his parents hadn't arrived yet, when Father and Mother Lu came in...
"Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Sibao, grandpa and grandma are here to take you home."
Seeing that Lu's mother, who is in her seventies and is as energetic as a young person, Xu Zilan sighed in her heart: The blessed are the blessed!
No matter sooner or later...
After drinking some spiritual pills, there wasn't much change in Lu's appearance, but her whole spirit and energy were completely different.
Especially when he speaks, he is full of energy.
In fact, the Lu family didn’t drink many spiritual pills. At most, they could repair the body, but they wouldn’t make people look much younger.
"Hello, father-in-law and mother-in-law."
When she heard Xu Zilan's greeting, Mother Lu realized that there was someone in the ward.
"Zijin, this is..."
Xu Zijin immediately introduced: "Mom, this is my cousin Zilan, my best cousin."
"I just arrived from my hometown."
When Lu's mother heard this, she nodded happily: "Okay, okay, you are so thoughtful to come here from such a long distance."
"Don't call them mother-in-law or father-in-law, call them uncle or aunt."
How far is this?
Xu Zilan thought, let alone in the country, I would come even if it was abroad.
"Hey, uncle and aunt, hello."
“Okay, okay!”
Mother Lu laughed. The Lu family had a blessed daughter-in-law, and everyone related to the daughter-in-law must be a blessed person.
Xu Zilan lived in the military compound for five days.
In the past two years, Lu Hanzhou got to know Professor Niu from the Military Industry Research Institute and developed several new weapons together with him.
These weapons have played a very important role in enhancing military strength.
The country gave him a generous reward, and three months ago he was promoted to chief of staff of the military region.
And coincidentally, the house they were allocated was the one Xu Zhenzhong once lived in...
"Second sister, this is really fate."
After touring the house, Xu Zilan entered Xu Zijin’s oversized bedroom.
Xu Zijin also felt that it was fate.
The house has just been vacated. If it had been a few months later, she would not have been given the house.
"My dad is gone, but my stepmother is still here."
Xu Zilan was surprised: "You are almost eighty, right? Are you in good health?"
Xu Zijin nodded: "That's good. I'll be eighty next year."
"Anya said that when her aunt turns eighty, she will come and live with her for a while."
Talking about the people who became sisters in the previous life, Xu Zilan sighed with emotion: "If only Xu Yu was still alive."
Yes, if Xu Yu were still alive, the sisters would be reunited.
Xu Zijin sighed: "There is no such perfect thing in the world. It is already a blessing from God that we can meet again."
Yes, yes.
People need to be satisfied and contented to be happy.
Xu Zilan nodded: "Second sister, didn't Yulan leave any children behind?"
Xu Zijin shook his head sadly: "No."
Thinking of Yulan, Xu Zilan was in a bad mood: "Second sister, that man..."
"Dead."
Dead?
Xu Zilan was surprised: "When did he die?"
"Less than a year after Magnolia died, she fell into the reservoir and fed the fish."
Who cares whether it is real feeding of fish or fake feeding of fish?
In the era without surveillance...
Xu Zilan clapped her hands: "This is called retribution!"
"What a good death, what a wonderful death! I hope Yulan will give him a good beating in the underworld!"
I think so.
Xu Zijin knew his sister-in-law's temperament very well, and she must have awakened before she died.
"Let me tell you, Zhu Chuan and Li Shanshan also divorced a long time ago."
"The two of them have no children. It is said that Zhu Chuan is infertile."
What?
If Zhu Chuan is infertile, then whose children did the pair born by Yulan in the previous life belong to?
Xu Zilan opened her mouth and said, "It should be Li Shanshan who can't have children, right? At that time, she couldn't get pregnant either."
Xu Zijin smiled and said, "I don't know about that. Anyway, Zhu Chuan has changed his job and returned to his hometown in this life, so I don't know the specific situation very well."
"I was thinking, maybe it's fate."
"If the destiny of life and death has not arrived, there will be no happiness."
yes.
Without destiny, how can there be happiness?
Xu Zilan sighed more and more in her heart, and cherished this hard-won opportunity even more...
"Second sister, I'm going to go back tomorrow. I'll come over after everything is arranged at home."
Xu Zijin knew that there was a lot of trouble at Xu Zilan's home.
Although she was divorced from Sun Zhigang and had an ignorant daughter, it was her daughter who pushed her when she knocked her head this time.
"The child is grown up now, don't worry too much, just let her be."
"Everyone has his own destiny."
"We should take more care of what our wishes ask us to take care of, otherwise, we should not take care of it."
Xu Zilan knew who her second sister was talking about.
Her heart ached when she thought of her ignorant, disobedient and conscienceless daughter.
"Second sister, I want to break off the mother-daughter relationship with her."
Xu Zijin opened his mouth: "You..."
Xu Zilan had a sad face: "That ungrateful person, other than sucking what she wanted from me, she never treated me as her own mother."
"She was awarded to her father anyway. It's better not to have a daughter like her."
All right.
Children are debts, it just depends on who pays whom back.
Xu Zijin sighed deeply: "Do whatever you want. The first half of your life was so hard, so you can live the second half as happily as you want."
"But will she agree?"
She had no choice but to disagree.
Today's Xu Zilan is no longer the good-for-nothing Xu Zilan, but Mr. Xu who once had billions of assets.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Xu Zijin laughed when he heard this: "Haha, I had forgotten about our Little President Xu."
Xu Zilan blushed: "Second sister, compared to you, I am just a bowl of pickled vegetables!"
How could that be?
How could Xu Zijin not know his cousin's abilities?
"Go early and come back early."
"Okay, I bought a flight for the afternoon, and will leave after lunch."
"Um."
Hearing that Xu Zilan was leaving, Mother Lu was very reluctant to let her go: "Oh, you've only been here for a few days?"
"Zilan, you and your second sister haven't seen each other for many years, right?"
"It's not easy to come here, why not stay a little longer?"
Xu Zilan smiled and said, "Aunt, I'm going to go back and take care of some things. I'll come to the capital after I'm done."
"My second sister and I are closer than real sisters. My parents are gone now, so I plan to rely on her for food in the future."
My daughter-in-law is a capable person.
Lu Ma heard that she had written many books and made many movies, which was not something that ordinary people could do.
Her daughter-in-law is the first daughter-in-law of the Lu family.
"Okay, I can see that Zijin likes you too."
"She's far away from home in this imperial capital, and her family is far away. If you could come and keep her company, she would be happy."
"Zilan, auntie is waiting for you in the imperial capital."
This fairy grandmother... is so nice.
The Zhou family’s parents-in-law were also very nice, but unfortunately they passed away early in this life.
——You have enjoyed a lifetime, Xu Zilan, and it’s time for you to be satisfied.
"Okay, I will definitely come."
Xu Zilan waved her fist. In this life, she would not be too far away from her second sister. They would live together for another fifty years.
At 2pm, Lu Hanzhou sent a car to take Xu Zilan to the airport. Before boarding the plane, she called Xu Zijin and said, "Second sister, I'm boarding the plane right away."
"It's a very smooth journey. You wait for me in the imperial capital."
Xu Zijin responded on the phone: "If you encounter any difficulties when you get home, remember to call me."
"I will."
Xu Zilan knew that no matter what life she was in, the only person she could rely on was her second sister.
I put down the phone and was about to turn it off when it rang again: "Mom, where have you been?"
"I couldn't find you for so many days, and your phone was turned off when I called you. What's wrong with you?"
"Grandma is sick, please come back quickly, I still have to go to work."
"I'm telling you, if this affects my work, don't blame me for not taking care of you when you're old."
The voice on the other end of the phone was that of my daughter Sun Yingying, cold and heartless...
Retirement?
——Will you provide for my old age?
——You only know how to pry open my oxygen tube!
Xu Zilan felt it was a good thing that she didn’t have this daughter in her previous life.
Now, hearing these cold and heartless words that only blamed and ordered her around, her heart ached.
"What does your grandma's illness have to do with me? She's your grandma, not my grandma."
Sun Yingying on the other end of the phone was startled when she heard this voice...
"Mom...Xu Zilan?"
"No need to deny it, I just said that."
"Sun Yingying, you've taken a lot from me over the years. It's okay if you don't want to support me in my old age. Just return the money to me."
What?
Her mother asked her to pay back the money?
Sun Yingying got angry and hung up the phone with a "beep"...
Xu Zilan took a deep breath and turned off her cell phone. The boarding notice had already been given over the broadcast.
She's used to it.
The daughter in my life has always been like this.
If you disagree, turn off the phone.
Xu Zilan put away her phone and slowly walked towards the boarding gate...
Sun Yingying, who turned off the phone, had a gloomy expression on her face: "Dad, she said this is not her grandma and she refused to come."
Sun Zhigang was equally destitute in this life.
After being laid off, I couldn't find a suitable job and had to do odd jobs here and there.
He knew that he could no longer order Xu Zilan around, and the two of them had already left.
Hearing this, his face also became extremely ugly.
"Yingying, when she comes to you, make her pay for the caregiver, otherwise don't let her come to see Guibao."
Guibao is Sun Yingying's son. Hearing this, she nodded solemnly: "Well, Dad, I will definitely let her pay the money."
"good."
Finally, a smile appeared on Sun Zhigang's face...
Xu Zilan had no idea that the father and daughter had already made a plan. It was already 7:30 in the evening when they returned to the city.
She bought this small house after she divorced Sun Zhigang.
Although the house is small and located in the suburbs, it is very clean.
After eating a bowl of noodles on the way, Xu Zilan didn't plan to cook dinner. She turned on the water heater to boil water for a bath.
"Mother!"
Just as I was about to sit down for a while, the door rang and Sun Yingying's voice came from outside.
Xu Zilan's eyes sparkled as she opened the door: "What's the matter?"
Seeing her at home, Sun Yingying got angry: "Mom, you're back, why don't you go to the hospital?"
"Why should I go to the hospital?"
Sun Yingying: “…”
Xu Zilan asked again with a gloomy face: "She has a son and a daughter, why should she ask me to serve her?"
"Is she too nice to me, or am I born to serve others?"
Sun Yingying pursed her lips and said, "You are going to help me. I have to work and take care of the children. Can't you help me?"
"Why should I help you?"
Sun Yingying was confused by the question: Is my mother possessed by an evil spirit?
[In the past, she never asked. As long as I asked her to go, she would never say no. 】
What’s going on today? 】
"Mom, just because I'm your daughter, isn't that okay?"
"no."
"You are just my daughter, you are not my mother, you didn't give birth to me or raise me, so you don't deserve it."
Faced with such an ungrateful person, Xu Zilan didn't want to be polite anymore.
Sun Yingying was annoyed by the scolding: "Then you really don't expect me to support you in your old age, right?"
"If so, just say it!"
hehe.
Xu Zilan sneered twice: "You provide for me in my old age, that is your duty and responsibility!"
"I gave birth to you and I raised you. If you dare not support me, I will let the government find you to support me!"
"go out!"
"Don't come to me anymore if you have nothing to do."
Sun Yingying had never been scolded like this by her mother since she was a child. She looked at Xu Zilan hatefully and said, "Then you try it!"
"If you want to sue me, just go ahead and sue me!"
"I will sue you! You still owe me 100,000 yuan. If you don't pay me back within three days, I will sue you."
What?
Sun Yingying was dumbfounded!
She stared at Xu Zilan, looking left and right, as if she didn't know her: "Are you still my mother?"
Xu Zilan's expression was cold: "I don't want to be your mother either. If I can stop being your mother, I definitely don't want to be your mother."
"Let's go. I need to rest."
"I hope you can return the money to me at this time three days later. You wrote me an IOU at the beginning."
Hearing this, Sun Yingying was almost angry to death.
Why did she write this IOU in the first place?
Three years ago, the couple wanted to buy a house. The house was in a good location, in the city center, and the price was not low.
In order to get her mother to give her money, Sun Yingying thought of a way to borrow money...but she didn't expect her mother to actually ask her to pay it back.
"I have no money! You can sue me if you want!"
With a bang, Sun Yingying slammed the door and left...
Xu Zilan had a cold gaze as she stood at the window, watching Sun Yingying's back as she got on the bicycle... and she didn't look away for a long time.
In the past, she devoted her heart and soul to her daughter.
But what about in the end?
Finally, her own daughter told her to die quickly so that she would not be implicated, and asked the doctor to remove her oxygen tube...
Xu Zilan went back to the kitchen to take a shower. Sun Yingying returned to the hospital and was furious: "Dad, she refused to come!"
Sun Zhigang was stunned: "You went to call her in person, but she refused to come?"
Sun Yingying's face turned pale and she said angrily, "She said that grandma has a son and a daughter, but she didn't give birth to her and raise her, so why did she ask her to come?"
Sun Zhigang has four brothers and sisters, and he is the eldest.
There are many brothers and sisters, but who has time?
"Then did you tell her that she should pay for the caregiver?"
When Sun Yingying heard this, she realized that she had completely forgotten it.
"Don't mention it!"
"Not only did she refuse to pay, she also told me to return the 100,000 yuan I used to buy the house to her within three days."
"She also said that if I don't return it to her, she will sue me!"
It's really dark!
Sun Zhigang wanted to strangle Xu Zilan to death: "She has to pay back the money she gave to her daughter. Is she a human being?"
"Didn't you tell her that if she dared to ask for money, you wouldn't provide for her in her old age?"
"Nowhere did I mention that!"
Sun Yingying became even more angry: "She said that I was born and raised by her. If I dare not support her, go and sue me!"
"Dad, look what a selfish person you married!"
——How should I know?
Sun Zhigang thought that he was not used to farm work when he first went to the countryside, but if he didn't do it, he would have nothing to eat. It just so happened that Xu Zilan was the daughter of the production team leader...
"Let her sue, and see if she knows which way the court door opens!"
At this time, Sun Zhigang thought that Xu Zilan was just saying harsh words, and he believed that she was just a country girl who didn't know how to complain.
He had no idea that the current Xu Zilan was no longer the same Wu Xia A'mon as before!
Four days later, Sun Yingying received a summons from the court just after she arrived at her workplace...
"Xiao Sun, what's going on? Did you do something wrong?"
When the older lady in the office handed the subpoena to Sun Yingying, her face was full of curiosity.
Sun Yingying burst into tears and ran out of the office with the subpoena. When she reached a deserted place, she called Xu Zilan and asked, "Mom, do you really not want me as your daughter anymore?"
"I'm telling you! If you don't withdraw the lawsuit, you'll never be allowed to enter my house again!"
"I'm not planning on going in again. Get your money ready and we'll see you in court!"
"Wow"
Sun Yingying cried.
She immediately called her uncle and said, "Uncle, I don't know if my mother is possessed by some evil spirit."
"She actually went to court to sue me!"
Boss Xu had known about this for a long time, and he also knew that his niece was not a good person.
But her own sister had protected her before, so it was useless for them to say anything.
Now that sister Ben has come to her senses, they naturally have to help her.
"You said you wanted to borrow money at the beginning, and this money was borrowed by your mother from several of our uncles."
"To pay back the money, your mother worked in the coal mines for two and a half years."
"She is in such a bad condition now because she was exhausted there. You say you won't pay her back?"
Sun Yingying thought, if I am exhausted, then I am exhausted. I am almost fifty years old anyway, I can die if I want to.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to pay it back, but I don't have the money to pay it back."
When Boss Xu heard this, his voice turned cold: "You don't have the money to pay back? Didn't your man buy a new car last month?"
“You have no money and you want to buy a car?”
"You know, your mother doesn't even have a bicycle!"
"Yingying, check your conscience and decide whether you should pay back the money!"
"If you don't pay it back, then just wait for the court to seal the house."
Since her uncle refused to help, Sun Yingying had no choice but to continue looking for Xu Zilan: "Mom, I am your biological daughter."
"Do you really want the court to seal my house?"
Xu Zilan was unmoved: "What does sealing your house have to do with me? I don't live there!"
"Besides, you have more than one house, so just seal it off!"
She has more than one house, but this one is in the school district and it’s big!
Sun Yingying was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Mom, what do you want in exchange for letting me go?"
"You said, as long as you can afford the conditions, I will agree to it."
"I really don't have any money."
Xu Zilan was unmoved: "Then see you in court."
"mom!"
Sun Yingying roared: "Are you really going to force me to death? What on earth do you want so much money for!"
"Won't your money be mine in the future?"
"Why do you have to take it back?"
What's hers is hers?
Xu Zilan thought it was ridiculous. Is it just to end up like this that people give birth to children?
"Who said that what's mine is yours?"
"Sun Yingying, your last name is Sun, and you won't be able to support me in my old age."
"Don't worry, my money will never be your money!"
"If you have money, bring it to me. If you don't have money, I'll see you in court in a few days!"
Faced with Xu Zilan's toughness, Sun Yingying wanted to kill her: "If you accept this money, I will sever the mother-daughter relationship with you!"
Xu Zilan smiled.
She wanted to say: I'm so scared.
"Then let's go to court and let them do justice!"
After that, she turned and walked in...
A few days later, Xu Zilan got what she wanted.
She remained indifferent as she listened to Sun Yingying's resentful scolding.
Holding a current account passbook, she wrote her name on the letter of severance of mother-daughter relationship after confirmation by the bank staff...
"You don't even want your own daughter. You won't have a good ending!"
Xu Zilan looked at Grandma Sun calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Then you'll see who will have a worse end!"
"Sun Yingying, you were the one who insisted on severing the mother-daughter relationship with me today. It's no use regretting it now."
Sun Yingying sold her newly bought car. She picked up the car last month for 120,000 yuan, but she sold it for 110,000 yuan just to pay back the 100,000 yuan.
At this moment, she wanted to kill Xu Zilan...
"Even if you die in that shabby house and rot and get maggots, I won't collect your body!"
Is it possible that no one will collect her body?
Xu Zilan knew that even if she didn't have children in the future, she would still have people who loved her and a bunch of nephews and nieces.
"Don't worry, there are a lot of people in my Xu family who want to collect my body."
"Sun Yingying, just call me by my name from now on. I don't want to have anything to do with you!"
Sun Yingying was so angry that she was shaking all over. Today she became famous and the whole unit knew that her mother didn't want her anymore.
"You can just keep talking tough, I will see what happens to you! Don't come crying in front of me then."
After saying these words and waving her hand, Sun Yingying left with the Sun family.
"Lan Zi, what are your plans now?"
After the Sun family left, Xu Wu hurried over and asked his sister.
Xu Zilan naturally had plans in advance.
"Fifth brother, I want to sell the house I live in."
"Selling a house?"
Xu Laowu was stunned.
Xu Zilan nodded: "Yes, my second sister knows a specialist at the Imperial Capital Hospital, and she said my disease can be cured."
As soon as Xu Laowu heard this, he understood: "You want money for medical treatment?"
Xu Zilan nodded: "Well, I don't know how much money it will cost, so I want to sell this house as well."
"When I come back, I'll go back to the countryside and work on the tea plantation with you."
Xu Laowu nodded: "Okay, if you want to go back, go back. You can still have a room and a meal at home."
Her eldest brother and fifth brother are really the most reliable.
Half a month later, Xu Zilan's house was sold. She called Xu Zijin and told him about what was happening at home.
Then he said, "I will first inspect the place where I built the pig farm before, and I will specialize in raising black mountain pigs in the future."
Today's pigs are all feed pigs, the meat has a fishy smell and has no taste of meat at all.
Decades later, someone invented a pure plant-based pig feed.
The pigs raised with it grow fast, taste like local pork, and are green and healthy.
Why choose here?
Because that area grows large areas of raw materials for plant-based pig feed, but no one has figured it out yet.
Xu Zijin nodded: "Okay, go ahead and do it. It would be best if you could buy all those hills."
"If the money is not enough, I will call you."
Xu Zilan smiled and said, "That's enough. The land is not in the city. It's a barren mountain in the countryside. It won't cost much."
"There is a tea plantation over there too, and I am planning to lease it as well."
"Fifth brother said that he would come with me to work together, as well as Xu Hui from eldest brother's family."
Among his uncle's seven sons, the most capable one is Xu Laowu, who is a very smart guy.
If he hadn't lacked education, he would have become a talented person.
Now with Xu Zilan leading him, his future will be different.
Xu Hui is a college student who studies agriculture. He will be a good helper in the future.
"Okay, go ahead and do it. I'll let your second brother-in-law take care of Zhou Jianyong's situation."
Xu Zilan was happy: "Thank you, second sister. I'll go find him when I'm settled and feeling better."
"Okay!"
Half a month later, the pig farm was completed.
Xu Zilan handed it over to Xu Laowu and Xu Hui to take care of, and after giving them some instructions, she set off...
When Xu Zilan came to Zhou Jianyong’s hometown again, she was in a trance for a while.
It's still so backward here.
The cement road that once covered the village road is now full of potholes, and half of the farmhouses built against the mountain are still mud houses.
However, the house of the second son of the Zhou family is a two-story flat roof... Was it built with Zhou Jianyong's hard-earned money?
Xu Zilan felt very uncomfortable when she thought of this. The man she loved most had become someone else's ATM, working like a slave for others.
She had heard of Zhou Jianyong two years ago.
He also knew very well that if Lu Hanzhou had not come specially to deliver the medicine, he would probably be old, thin and disabled now.
Although she won't dislike it, she will feel distressed.
"Who are you?"
On Tuesday, daughter-in-law Zhu Xiaomei was drying clothes at the door and was curious when she saw Xu Zidang walking towards her house.
When Xu Zilan met her former sister-in-law again, she felt complicated. This Zhu Xiaomei was very different from that Zhu Xiaomei.
He is less than fifty years old, but his hair is already completely white and his face is tanned by the sun due to hard work.
Although Xu Zilan looked very old more than a month ago, she was not a farmer after all, so her skin was not that bad.
Now she has a rosy complexion, her clothes fit her well, and her hair is dyed black. She looks very different from more than a month ago.
Standing in front of Zhu Xiaomei, she seemed to be a dozen years younger.
"Excuse me, does Zhou Jianyong live here?"
A woman... and a pretty one at that, looking for her uncle?
Zhu Xiaomei asked back with a vigilant look on her face: "Who are you?"
Xu Zilan pursed her lips and said, "I am the aunt of his comrade-in-arms. My name is Xu Zilan, and I am from the province of Xi."
Comrade's cousin?
Zhu Xiaomei became even more curious: "Then why did you come to my house?"
Xu Zilan bit her lip and said, "I used to be his girlfriend...but I...feel sorry for him."
"When my family found out that he was going to the battlefield, they locked me up... and my mother even threatened to commit suicide... I had no choice but to marry according to her wishes..."
"I have six older brothers and one younger brother. My parents love me very much. I had no choice... I was afraid that my mother would die because of me, so I never came to see him again."
"Now my parents are gone, and I'm divorced..."
Both parents are gone, and she comes here to find her ex-lover after divorce... It sounds quite sympathetic, but Zhu Xiaomei feels like she is facing a formidable enemy!
"You're already married, how dare you come to see him? He's already married, so go back quickly."
Xu Zilan: “…”
——Is this what it means to lie without feeling embarrassed?
"No, I have inquired about it. He is not married. I have come here and I must meet him."
Zhu Xiaomei was annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am his wife, and he is not married, so who am I?"
"Get out! Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xu Zilan: “…”
——If a person has no shame, he can be invincible?
Just when Xu Zilan was shocked by Zhu Xiaomei's shamelessness...
"Sister-in-law, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
"You are my sister-in-law, please stop talking nonsense!"
The moment the voice came out, Xu Zilan saw a tall figure. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, he was still sitting upright.
The old military uniform was washed so much that it looked bleached and even had a few patches on it, but it was otherwise clean.
The same crew cut for thousands of years, and the lips are always clean...
In an instant, Xu Zilan's blood began to flow backwards: It's him!
No matter how difficult life is, he still maintains the dignity of a soldier!
"Jianyong, I'm Zilan, don't you recognize me?"
Zhou Jianyong knew who Xu Zilan was; it was clearly written in Lu Hanxun's letter, but he didn't expect her to be such a young and beautiful woman.
He thought she was just a poor woman who met the wrong man.
He even thought that it was someone his battalion commander wanted him to take care of.
But I never thought... it was this beautiful woman in front of me with tears in her eyes and an excited expression!
Does a woman like this really need his care?
"Zi Lan, you shouldn't have come. I'm not good looking in this state."
"Sister-in-law, there are guests coming in. Don't you know to pour tea and bring chairs?"
It was as if they were old acquaintances, and their conversation made it impossible to tell that they had never known each other.
Zhu Xiaomei's face had already turned red with embarrassment, and she ran away immediately after hearing this.
She ran better.
Xu Zilan stepped forward, looked at Zhou Jianyong infatuatedly, and squatted in front of him: "Brother Jianyong, do you believe in dreams?"
Can dreams be believed?
Zhou Jianyong's face twitched: "Comrade Zilan..."
"You don't believe it?"
Xu Zilan's eyes were filled with tears: "But I believe it!"
"I always have a dream, and I keep dreaming that I married someone very early and lived a happy and fulfilling life."
"In my dream, he loved me very much and let me take care of everything, but he rushed to do the housework. We also had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and they both got into the best universities."
"My son became a doctor and my daughter became an entrepreneur."
"I once thought it was a dream. After all, how could such a good thing happen in the world?"
"But when I saw your photo at my second brother-in-law's place, I thought it wasn't a dream, but something that happened in our previous life."
"Your face...I can draw it with my eyes closed...Don't reject me. Marrying you is my only wish in this life."
In order to make Zhou Jianyong understand her behavior and even accept her, Xu Zilan has been trying to find a solution all the time over the past month.
She knew Zhou Jianyong very well: no matter how hard or tiring the life was, he would not be willing to drag others down.
Zhou Jianyong on the side was already stunned.
He didn't believe in such a dream. As a revolutionary soldier who had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
But looking at Xu Zilan's excited face, he found that he could no longer say the words to chase her away.
"But I am a cripple, follow me..."
"Don't say that!"
Xu Zilan quickly interrupted Zhou Jianyong, looked up and stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "You are not a cripple, you are a hero!"
"You have no legs anymore, so I will be your legs from now on."
"Zhou Jianyong, stop saying bad things about yourself."
"In my heart, don't say you just lost your legs. I'm happy as long as you're alive."
"I came to you, you should know my purpose: I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life!"
"If you don't mind that I've been married before, marry me, okay?"
The deep affection in Xu Zilan's eyes made Zhou Jianyong's heart beat faster. It was not that no one introduced him to someone after returning home, but he never knew that the affection in a woman's eyes could be so strong.
He is a man, what is disabled is his body, not his manly heart.
But Zhou Jianyong knew that the women introduced to him by others were not attracted to him, but to his heroic status... In layman's terms, they were attracted to his salary.
No one has such deep affection in their eyes, and no one can make him feel true love.
This pair of affectionate eyes made Zhou Jianyong, who had lived for fifty years and remained calm, make the first impulsive decision in his life: "Okay, I'll marry you!"
In an instant, Xu Zilan's blood rushed backwards: He agreed?
"Zhou Jianyong, say it again!"
"Zi Lan, I will marry you and I will love you in the future!"
“Wuwuwu…”
Holding Zhou Jianyong's pair of artificial legs, Xu Zilan cried out like a young animal, but these were tears of joy.
"Thank you, Zhou Jianyong, thank you!"
Zhou Jianyong was a little flustered by Xu Zilan's behavior: "Get up quickly. If anyone needs to thank you, it should be me."
Xu Zilan shook her head and said softly, "Let me hold you for a while. Holding you makes me feel at ease."
"That's great. I can really marry you, Zhou Jianyong. I'm so happy."
"I've been living here before I came. Mingtian is a good day. Shall we go register?"
"I brought my ID card and household registration booklet with me."
Happiness came so suddenly that Zhou Jianyong was stunned.
In this mountainous area, it is difficult for a normal person to marry a wife even if he spends all his money.
And he is an old man over fifty years old and a disabled person, but he can marry a wife without spending a penny?
His future daughter-in-law was so reasonable, Zhou Jianyong didn't want to wrong her: "Zilan, this is too hasty."
"Wait till I get ready. I'm going to give you a proper wedding."
What’s the point of having a good wedding?
It was just a show for others.
How many celebrities have grand weddings, and how many couples stay together till old age?
Having lived two lives, one happy and one rough, Xu Zilan really doesn't care about these things at all.
She cares about people.
Of course, Xu Zilan is not a love-brained person and would not give up everything for someone she knows nothing about.
Because she has known him for so long, she doesn't care about anything else as long as she has Zhou Jianyong.
Looking up and looking at the man in front of her who has loved and cared for her all her life, Xu Zilan had only sincerity in her eyes.
"Jianyong, I don't want a wedding, I just want to be with you."
"Besides, we don't have much time. My second sister's lecturer team will start training soon, and we have to rush to the imperial capital within a month."
"Let's go get the certificate tomorrow, and treat our family to a meal the day after tomorrow, okay?"
Zhou Jianyong wanted to say no.
How could he marry such a good woman so easily?
Since you want to marry her, you have to give her enough face.
But, she was right, and he couldn't resist that look.
Finally Zhou Jianyong nodded: "Okay, Zilan, you will be the boss of our family from now on!"
very nice!
This man trusts himself so much!
Pulling Zhou Jianyong's hand, Xu Zilan buried her face in his palm...
"Thank you. I'm so happy."
What a silly woman! She is so naive at her age.
Zhou Jianyong felt a little sorry for the woman next to him.
To be honest, as a man, I have seen too many useless promises.
How many men say all kinds of lies to women in order to deceive them, but change their attitude completely once they get married.
Reaching out his other hand and stroking Xu Zilan's head, Zhou Jianyong swore in his heart: If I betray her in this life, I will be struck by lightning and live alone for the rest of my life.
An hour later...
"What? You're getting married tomorrow? No! I don't agree!"
At the dinner table, Zhu Xiaomei jumped up when she heard the news.
Zhou Jianyong looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, I don't know when I will need your approval to get married!"
"I am just informing you, not asking for your opinion. Whether you agree or not is none of my business."
"I will be going to the imperial capital soon. The army asked me to join the lecture group to give patriotism education to the children."
"My household registration and organizational affiliation will be transferred there, and I will only come back once a year at most."
"I have done enough for you over the years. I hope you will be content. Otherwise, I will not care about you anymore."
Chun Yazi is Zhou Er’s son. Lu Hanzhou enlisted him in the army at the end of last year.
Zhou Laoer has one son and two daughters, and his son is Zhu Xiaomei's sweetheart.
Zhou Jianyong's threat immediately made her very angry: "Brother, why are you so careless?"
"You two haven't seen each other for so many years. Do you know what her purpose is this time?"
What kind of purpose can it have?
Is it just for his monthly salary of several thousand yuan?
Moreover, if she really had an ulterior motive, how could such a small amount of money fall into her hands?
Zhou Jianyong may not trust anyone, but he will not fail to trust Lu Hanzhou.
Without this mentor in his life, Zhou Jianyong knew that he would have gone home to farm like many of his comrades-in-arms.
Although he lost both legs, he never regretted joining the army.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Jianyong looked at this unsatisfied brother and sister and slowly said, "I don't need to know."
"But no matter what her purpose is, I don't care."
"After we get married, we'll leave."
Zhu Xiaomei was so angry that her liver ached.
She never dreamed that someone would compete with her for a disabled person!
If it weren't for the fact that her uncle had been giving her a lot of money every month over the years, she would not have kept such a disabled person to take care of.
"Okay, okay, go ahead, go ahead."
"If you want to leave, take Juan with you! I won't support outsiders!"
outsider?
She said Juan'er is an outsider?
Instantly, Zhou Jianyong felt a chill all over his body: "Who do you say is an outsider? Second brother, is Juan'er an outsider?"
This look frightened Zhou Laoer so much that he trembled all over: "Brother, don't listen to this woman's nonsense!"
"Juan'er is my niece, and my eldest sister died to save Chun'erzi. She is my daughter! How can she be an outsider?"
"Xiaomei, stop talking nonsense!"
What?
The sister-in-law in the previous life...died to save her nephew...! ! !
Xu Zilan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart...How could this happen?
At this moment, she no longer wanted to think about anything else and blurted out: "Jianyong, take her away."
Zhou Laoer and his wife: "..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianyong turned around and looked at Xu Zilan in surprise: "You... really agree?"
Of course!
Xu Zilan exhaled heavily and nodded: "I agree, but the child's father...can he agree?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jianyong's voice was colder than ice: "He is not qualified. He is lucky to be able to get out of prison in this lifetime."
What?
In this life, my sister-in-law’s husband was a labor camp prisoner?
Xu Zilan felt a little complicated: "Jianyong, let's adopt her."
"The child cannot have a father who is a labor camp inmate, otherwise she will not be able to join the army or take the civil service exam in the future."
That's a good idea.
It would certainly be good to be able to provide my niece with a good background.
Zhou Jianyong was really excited now: "Zilan, really? Do you really want us to adopt her together?"
Xu Zilan looked at Zhou Jianyong and nodded solemnly: "Of course, Jianyong, I know you can't let go of the child because you are a kind person."
"If you can't let go, then don't let go."
"It's just one child, right? We can afford to raise him."
"Don't worry, I can make money."
Why would he worry?
With such a daughter-in-law by his side, he can only enjoy happiness for the rest of his life.
Zhou Jianyong held Xu Zilan's hand, his face full of gratitude: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The two of them were like an old married couple, completely forgetting that there was another couple at the dinner table.
The children are all in school and only the adults are at home.
Zhu Xiaomei wanted to vomit when she saw the affectionate look between the two. She cursed inwardly: Shameless old vixen!
——Shame on you!
Xu Zilan naturally understood what was in Zhu Xiaomei's eyes.
But she was too lazy to pay attention to her because she already knew what kind of person Zhu Xiaomei was.
The only unexpected thing is that Zhu Xiaomei is so good at pretending!
In her previous life, she pretended to be a good person, and those who tried to curry favor with her never knew what face was.
Now, the true colors are revealed!
After dinner, Xu Zilan entered Zhou Jianyong’s room.
Although the room was simple, it was clean and tidy, and the quilt on the bed was still square.
This man really likes cleanliness, just like in his previous life!
Seeing Zhou Jianyong still using the old wheelchair, Xu Zilan was surprised: "Jianyong, hasn't the wheelchair that my second sister sent you arrived yet?"
Zhou Jianyong nodded immediately, then pointed to the corner and said, "Here we are, here we are. I will change them when I am ready to leave."
Why wait?
Xu Zilan said, "Let's put it on today. We're getting married tomorrow, so let it get some of the good luck."
Zhou Jianyong thought this was a good idea and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Xu Zilan smiled.
It was the same in his previous life. No matter what Xu Zilan wanted to do, Zhou Jianyong would always say: I'll do whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say.
This sentence is very simple, but it is very difficult to achieve it in your lifetime.
Walking over, Xu Zilan was about to open the box, but Zhou Jianyong stopped her.
"I'll be here in a bit. You can take a rest on the bed. You must be tired after sitting in the car for half a day. You can sleep here tonight."
Xu Zilan flew to the provincial capital last night, and took a bus from the provincial capital to the county at six o'clock this morning, and then hired a car to take her here. It took five hours.
But she is not tired.
Hearing this, she stopped: "I sleep here, where are you sleeping?"
"I'll just sleep in the living room. There's a bamboo bed there, so it'll be cool to sleep on."
The living room is cool, but here in the countryside, mosquitoes bite my eyes at night. How can I sleep?
Xu Zilan naturally refused.
She came this time for no other reason than this one person.
Besides, she had slept with him for decades, so they were not really strangers or meeting each other for the first time.
They are an old married couple.
"No, you can't sleep in the living room. You sleep here too."
Sleep together?
Zhou Jianyong blushed and his heart beat fast. He had never even held hands with a woman in his life...
"No, no, you just arrived today, you can't let people gossip about you."
gossip?
Xu Zilan doesn't care about these things.
"We're getting married tomorrow, what's wrong with sleeping together?"
That being said...
Having grown up in the countryside and returned to the countryside for more than 20 years, Zhou Jianyong knows all too well how gossipy rural people are.
"Zi Lan, I'm afraid of what others say about you. I don't want anyone to say anything wrong about you."
What are you afraid of?
The two have been together for nearly eighty years, and Xu Zilan has no sense of unfamiliarity with Zhou Jianyong.
If she didn't have to take care of household chores and take care of her health, she would have run here without even having to stay a minute.
"I'm not some big flower girl, nor am I a little girl of seventeen or eighteen."
"Jianyong, I'm not afraid of what others say, and I never want to be separated from you."
"Besides, we won't live here in the future, so who cares? Live your life to the fullest."
"Unless you don't really want to marry me."
How is that possible?
Even if it weren't for the honor of being introduced by his battalion commander, he would not let her leave.
A woman asked him to sleep with her, why was he, a grown man, being so shy?
Zhou Jianyong felt uneasy.
Having a woman who treats me sincerely makes my life worthwhile!
"Okay! I'll do as you say."
Hahaha...Xu Zilan was happy. This man said he would listen to her, and he really listened to her.
"Jianyong, if it's not because of work or if we have to separate, you have to sleep with me in this life."
certainly.
With such a lovely wife, what else would he not want?
"Zi Lan, sit here."
Zhou Jianyong pointed at the bed and Xu Zilan came over and sat down.
She looked at him curiously: "What's wrong? Do you have something to say?"
Zhou Jianyong smiled, pulled out the drawer and reached in to touch it, and a "click" sound came from inside.
Zhou Jianyong reached out and took out an envelope, and handed it to Xu Zilan...
"for you."
"What's this?"
"bride price."
Xu Zilan's face twitched: It's so thin, it must be only a thousand yuan, right?
——This man... really doesn't know how to take care of himself!
As soon as she opened the envelope, Xu Zilan was dumbfounded: there were ten certificates of deposit inside!
Each ticket has a different amount, the earliest one is less, but the later ones are all over 100,000...
"Where did you get so much money?"
Zhou Jianyong said softly: "I have a soldier who is from Guangdong Province. I was injured just to save him."
"After he was discharged from the army, he started doing odd jobs here and there, and later he returned home and started a factory."
"He asked me to invest, so I borrowed some money from a few of my comrades and invested it in him. These are the annual dividends."
"Most of my salary was used to support my family, but I didn't let them know about this."
Fortunately, you are smart!
If Zhu Xiaomei knew about this, would she still let him go?
That's a fantasy!
It must be said that Xu Zilan knew Zhu Xiaomei too well. At this moment, she was scolding Zhou Laoer in the room...
"You have no brains. If we let him go, who will give us money in the future?"
"No, Big Brother must not leave, and even if he leaves, he cannot get married@"
Zhou Lao Er certainly didn't want his eldest brother to leave, but...
"Xiaomei, Big Brother has sacrificed for this family for more than 20 years. We can't suck his blood anymore."
"He's already in his early fifties, and it's really not easy for him to get married."
"Don't go and say anything more. You know his character very well. That's not something you can control."
"If you piss him off, he really won't care about Chun Yazi anymore."
"Don't worry about the money. I'll be out working in a few days."
"The salary for working on a construction site is quite good now. Working 25 days a month can earn you over 2,000 yuan."
More than two thousand, that’s earned day by day.
Zhu Xiaomei was so angry that her liver ached.
But there was nothing she could do. She knew that even if she threw a tantrum she couldn't stop Zhou Jianyong from getting married and leaving.
She had no choice but to transfer her anger to Xu Zilan, and in less than half a day, she became famous throughout the village!
When he woke up after sleeping for an hour and a half, Zhou Jianyong had already installed the new wheelchair and was sitting on it.
As soon as she woke up, a cup of herbal tea was handed to her.
"Drink some water. I made some jelly for you. I put it in the water tank to cool down. I'll go get it."
Xu Zilan took the water and drank a few sips, then stood up: "I'm going to wash my face."
It is mid-June now and the weather is already hot, but the temperature in the mountains is several degrees lower than outside.
However, it was still hot at noon.
Seeing the sweat on her forehead, Zhou Jianyong nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
This house was built with Zhou Jianyong's money, so there is no threshold on the first floor, making it convenient for him to come and go in his wheelchair.
Especially the new wheelchair, which is electric, and Zhou Jianyong has no difficulty using it.
The two of them quickly entered the kitchen and washed their faces. Zhou Jianyong handed Xu Zilan a bowl of jelly: "It's made with burnt grass jelly, it's refreshing and detoxifying."
Xu Zilan had eaten a lot of this kind of jelly in her previous life.
However, it was not Zhou Jianyong who did it, but his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Thinking of this, Xu Zilan asked Zhou Jianyong: "How did your older sister die?"
When talking about his older sister, Zhou Jianyong felt very heavy.
"Her man was her elementary school classmate. His family was better off than the Zhou family at the time, so her parents decided to let her get married."
"But that man is not a good guy. He plays cards, gambles, steals things, and beats women. He does everything."
"When I returned home in 1985, she was already married and pregnant with our first daughter, but that beast knocked her out."
"The baby was six months old and fully formed."
"Because she suffered this time, she was treated like a cow in the man's family and her health has been poor ever since."
"My mother was afraid that she would not be able to have children, so she was kicked out by her husband's family. She tried many folk remedies for her, and it was not until seven years later that she got pregnant with Juan'er."
"When the beast saw that she gave birth to another daughter, he beat her every day, but she didn't even come back to complain."
"Once, her ribs were broken, and her mother-in-law came to inform us because she was afraid she would die."
"I did something to make him catch up, and the police station arrested him."
"His mother was afraid that he would go to jail, so she came to me to plead for mercy."
"I put forward a condition. His family must give Damei 500 yuan and divorce. If they don't agree, he will spend the rest of his life in jail."
"So the eldest sister brought Juan'er back to her parents' home."
So that's how it is. Xu Zilan became curious again: "Then why did this man go to jail again?"
Zhou Jianyong's face was cold: "After the divorce, the beast couldn't find a wife, so he came to pester my elder sister again."
"My eldest sister was so scared that she didn't dare to go out."
"God has eyes. He might have lost so much money playing cards that day that he beat the man who made money into a vegetable."
"If you don't have money to give to others, you will have to spend the rest of your life in jail."
Xu Zilan took a deep breath and said, "God is merciful. It's a pity for your elder sister."
yes.
Zhou Jianyong sighed: "She is one year younger than the second brother, but she is much more sensible than him."
"After returning to the village, he lived with me in the old house. At that time, this new house had not been built yet."
"Eight years ago, there was a flood in the village. Chun Yazi accidentally fell into the river, and my eldest sister jumped in and rescued him."
"She was a good swimmer, but the water was too heavy and she never came up."
"For so many years, my father's health was not good, and he passed away because of this."
——This Zhu Xiaomei is actually such an ungrateful person?
Xu Zilan retracted her feelings about Zhu Xiaomei in her previous life: "What grade is Juan'er in now?"
"In the second year of junior high school, children in the mountains start school late, at the age of eight, while here they have to go to primary school for six years."
"Don't worry, Zilan. Juan'er is a very sensible child. You will like her."
The second year of junior high school, so the second half of the year will be the third year of junior high school.
Now that she's going to school in another place, it seems like she needs to find someone to tutor her.
Xu Zilan knows her sister-in-law too well. She is smart, studious and grateful. With Zhou Jianyong's guidance, she will definitely be a good person.
"I believe she is a good child because she has an uncle like you."
Is he that good?
Zhou Jianyong was a little proud: "Zilan, I didn't study much, I learned a lot from the battalion commander."
"The battalion commander is my benefactor. I cannot repay his kindness in this life. I hope there will be an afterlife."
Xu Zilan knew that the battalion commander he was talking about was Lu Hanzhou. They had gotten used to it and didn't want to change their words.
Because in their hearts, Lu Hanzhou will always be their brother and their benefactor.
"My second brother-in-law is great, so you are great too, but my second sister is also great."
"My second sister is not only educated, but also very beautiful."
"I have seen her."
Um?
Xu Zilan blinked: "Have you seen her?"
Zhou Jianyong explained: "Didn't you say that my second sister was Captain Yang's ex-wife? Of course I have met her, but that was more than 20 years ago."
Yes, yes, yes, Xu Zilan forgot about this.
"I had forgotten all about it."
Zhou Jianyong smiled and said, "Captain Yang is also a very nice person. As a young master, he is not arrogant at all."
"I heard that he married a very beautiful wife, and everyone went to see him secretly."
"But we heard that Captain Yang and his wife have a bad relationship because they have to take care of their widowed sister-in-law."
"I even told our battalion commander at the time that Captain Yang was good in everything except that he had no sense of boundaries."
"You can take care of your sister-in-law, but don't forget your wife. Sister-in-law and wife are two different things."
"I didn't expect Captain Yang... that this would be the result."
"If the battalion commander can marry your second sister, then she must be very, very outstanding, otherwise the battalion commander would not settle for marrying her."
——Of course my second sister is excellent!
Xu Zilan chuckled and said, "When you meet my second sister, you will know how outstanding she is!"
"Although she is nearly fifty, she looks as well-maintained as a young girl."
"That's nothing. She is a guest professor for many well-known people and she is also a well-known writer."
"She has published many novels, and several of them have been made into movies. In Q Province, few people don't know her name."
I see.
Zhou Jianyong finally understood why his battalion commander married a divorced woman, the widow of a former comrade-in-arms: because she was too outstanding!
"Some of our comrades didn't understand at first. Now I am even more eager to see my second sister."
Xu Zilan said with a smile: "You will be able to see her soon. You will definitely like this sister-in-law very much."
That is, how could his battalion commander's vision be wrong?
As a military wife all her life, Xu Zilan understands the feelings of soldiers very well.
This is when she thought of something: "Jianyong, don't you know that your battalion commander has a secret?"
Zhou Jianyong shook his head: "What secret?"
"Allergic to women! That is, if he doesn't meet the right woman, he will be allergic as soon as he touches her."
Zhou Jianyong: “…”
——Is there such a disease in the world?
"Does this mean that Second Sister is destined to be the battalion commander?"
Xu Zilan nodded: "Yes, just like I am your destiny!"
"I always think about that dream. Maybe if I had met you earlier, you wouldn't have been hurt."
"Then, we will live happily together, have children, and you will have a smooth career."
Yeah?
Zhou Jianyong thought: How great would it be if that were true?
"Although we didn't meet earlier, I am very satisfied that we can meet now."
"Zi Lan, I will treat you well, believe me."
Xu Zilan smiled: "Of course I believe it. If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't have come."
very nice!
Zhou Jianyong's eyes were wet. He had been discouraged before, but now he didn't think it was a big deal!
As long as I have this woman by my side for the rest of my life, nothing can compare to it.
After leaving the kitchen, Zhou Jianyong insisted on buying an old hen to kill for Xu Zilan to eat, so she had no choice but to push him out the door.
There are several families living around the Zhou family. Now the real busy farming season has not started yet, so there is no one in the farmland.
After climbing a small slope, the two arrived at a big house. Under a big tree in front of the door, there were several old people and women sitting.
As soon as they saw them, everyone's eyes immediately shot over...
The women were talking to each other cheerfully, but when Xu Zilan and Zhou Jianyong approached, they stopped talking immediately.
This look made her feel a little strange.
"Yongzi, who is this?"
Zhou Jianyong immediately introduced her according to the words Xu Zilan had written: "Jinzi, this is my partner. We are going to register for marriage tomorrow."
ah?
Is this true?
The person Zhou Jianyong called aunt opened her mouth wide: "Brother Yong, are you guys so anxious? Didn't you say we just met?"
"This marriage is for the rest of your life, don't you want to think about it again?"
Zhou Jianyong smiled and said, "Jia Zi, we haven't just met."
"She and I have known each other for thirty years. Her second sister is the wife of my battalion commander."
"It's just that her parents didn't want her to marry a soldier, saying that soldiers were too risky, so we haven't seen each other for many years."
"Now her parents are gone, and she's divorced a long time ago. She couldn't let me go, so she came here to look for me."
It turns out there is such a fate.
Why is it different from what Zhu Xiaomei said?
But no one asked.
The sister-in-law nodded: "So that's how it is? Your wife is from the city, right?"
Zhou Jianyong nodded: "Yes, she used to have a job, but she was laid off due to the factory restructuring and will soon receive her pension."
It’s different if you have a pension.
What rural elderly people envy most are those who have pensions.
Jinzi looked envious: "Great, great, Yong brother, your blessing has come."
"By the way, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Jianyong explained the purpose of his visit: "It's her first time here, there's no food at home, and it's too late to go to town now."
"I want to buy a chicken to express my feelings."
The old man nodded immediately: "That's right, that's right, I'll go get it for you right away."
No one knew where Zhu Xiaomei and Zhou Laoer had gone. Anyway, no one was home. After catching the chicken, Zhou Jianyong started to get busy...
"It's still an old hen laying eggs, you see."
It is true.
When Xu Zilan saw the egg seeds in Zhou Jianyong's hand, she immediately took a bowl to put them in. The two of them talked while they were busy.
"Jianyong, did you have a feeling just now that many people already knew me?"
Who is Zhou Jianyong?
He became the deputy battalion commander of the Tiger Battalion in his twenties. If nothing unexpected happens, the position of battalion commander will be his.
"Don't bother with these people. Some of them are just petty."
Xu Zilan knew who some people were without asking. Who else could it be other than Zhu Xiaomei?
"I didn't expect she was this kind of person."
Zhou Jianyong smiled and said, "If she is not this kind of person, then what kind of person could she be?"
"In the past, in order to get me to follow them so that I could receive the 1,500 yuan I gave her every month, she tried to please me. She was known as a virtuous person in the village."
"She thought she was pretending well, but I couldn't see clearly."
"But who am I? What kind of person am I that I can't see clearly?"
That is, if Zhou Jianyong can't even see clearly, he is not worthy of being regarded as the successor by his second brother-in-law.
The two chatted and laughed as they stewed the chicken. It was now exactly 4:30 in the afternoon.
It gets dark late now and people in the countryside eat late, so the chicken is just cooked by the time dinner starts.
As they were going to register tomorrow, Zhou Jianyong found his military officer ID and household registration booklet and put them together with Xu Zilan's.
"Jianyong, take this money when we leave and take it to the capital. I want to buy two houses."
Zhou Jianyong understands buying a house, but what he doesn't understand is: "Why buy two? Isn't one enough?"
Xu Zilan smiled: "My second sister said that the housing prices in the capital are rising now, and asked me to buy two houses if I have money. I will definitely make a lot of money."
Buy a house to make money?
Zhou Jianyong had never heard of this before: "Okay, you decide. You are the boss of our family anyway."
"If the money is not enough, I will ask Song Bing to pay half a year's dividend first."
Xu Zilan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Okay, if it's really not enough, I'll tell you."
"Actually, I have some money, but I plan to use it as start-up capital."
"I plan to build a pig farm in the city, partner with others to start a meat processing business, and raise pigs myself."
"You don't have to watch over me every day. I'll follow you when you go out."
“If we don’t go out to give lectures, we’ll raise pigs.”
Zhou Jianyong was very happy that his future daughter-in-law had a plan: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
The two were talking happily, and although their voices were very low, Zhu Xiaomei still heard them attentively.
"His father, do you think your eldest brother still has a lot of money?"
Zhu Xiaomei came in late and only heard the last few sentences.
Zhou Laoer had just come back from checking the water in the fields. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Don't you know exactly how much Big Brother's salary is?"
"Since returning to his hometown, he hasn't been able to earn any money other than his salary. Can you please stop being suspicious?"
Does she have it?
Zhu Xiaomei was not convinced: "Just now that woman was saying that she wanted to open a pig farm. How can you open a pig farm if you don't have money?"
"You know Mr. Zhang from Qianxian Village, right? He spent nearly 50,000 yuan to open a pig farm."
Zhou Laoer still didn't believe that his eldest brother was rich: "It's possible that my future sister-in-law is rich. You can tell from the way she's dressed that she's a job."
"Okay, stop thinking so much and go cook."
"Hey, is there chicken tonight?"
"Future sister-in-law, brother is so good to you. Our family hasn't eaten chicken for several months."
It’s not a festival, it’s not a festival. Who in the countryside would kill chickens for food?
Xu Zilan glanced at Zhu Xiaomei coldly: "I am his future daughter-in-law, and I will spend my whole life with her."
"He's not nice to me, so how can he be nice to you?"
"I think he was too nice to you in the past, so nice that you even thought you were his wife."
"If it weren't for Jianyong's sense of boundaries, the two brothers would have been stabbed in the back by others long ago!"
"you……"
Zhu Xiaomei was so angry that her face turned black.
Xu Zilan would never indulge her: "What's wrong with me? Did I say something wrong?"
"Who is so shameless as to say that a younger brother's wife is the eldest uncle's brother's wife?"
"Do you really think that being shameless will make you invincible?"
"Zhu Xiaomei, please do some good for your children, and don't let others point fingers at your children's backs!"
Zhu Xiaomei was so angry that her face turned blue: "I have no shame, do you have any?"
"I've only seen a woman come to me on her own initiative!"
"How are you better than me if you are having an affair without a matchmaker?"
They are having an affair without a matchmaker?
Xu Zilan heard it and said loudly:
"You are wrong! We were not in an affair without a matchmaker, but were separated by our parents."
"Besides, our matchmaker is too high for you!"
"My second brother-in-law introduced us to each other. Do you know who he is? He is the chief of staff of the Imperial Capital Military District. Your county magistrate would bow and scrape when he sees him!"
"I warn you not to cause trouble. Your son is in the hands of my second brother-in-law."
"If you make me angry, your son won't be able to join the army and will be made a labor camp prisoner!"
Zhu Xiaomei was really scared, her son was her weak spot.
He glared at Xu Zilan hatefully, then turned and left.
"I really don't know how she became like this. We are from the same village, and she used to have a good reputation in the village."
Why else?
For money!
How can I not feel resentful when the money I earned for free is about to be lost?
Xu Zilan smiled and said, "The ancients were right: a thousand miles of kindness can turn into a bushel of hatred."
"You're so nice to them!"
"Over the years, you have taken on the responsibilities of your parents as the eldest brother and nurtured their ambitions."
"If she doesn't have the money anymore, will she change?"
That’s right, Zhou Jianyong agreed very much with what Xu Zilan said.
In recent years, his parents are sick and his younger brothers and sisters are weak, so he has no choice but to shoulder this responsibility.
In the first few years after he returned home, matchmakers came to his house to propose marriage to people because he was paid by the government.
Later, when we saw that he was either sending his younger brother's wife to school or marrying his younger sister off, no matchmaker came to his house anymore.
When was it that your younger brothers and sisters would ask you for money whenever they were short of money?
Zhou Jianyong forgot.
Anyway, if his younger brothers and sisters need help, he will give them what he can afford with his salary.
In the past, he would have used part of the extra money, but after hearing what his sister-in-law said to his nephew, Zhou Jianyong became a little "stingy".
The old saying that one should marry a virtuous woman is really true.
Perhaps she was really scared, Zhu Xiaomei obediently went into the kitchen and cooked dinner.
Xu Zilan would not snatch it away, but she would not tolerate such a shameless person.
In the evening, Zhou Laoer's youngest daughter came back, and his eldest daughter was also attending junior high school in town.
The younger daughter, Zhou Xi, is pretty, with a cute little round face and big eyes.
But because she had no good feelings towards Zhu Xiaomei, Xu Zilan was neither cold nor enthusiastic towards her and gave her a bag of candy and a skirt.
But the little girl was very excited and kept calling "Auntie, Auntie".
Both of Zhou Laosi and Zhou Laowu's two younger brothers are married, but they have gone out to work. Only Zhou Wumei and her husband have not gone out.
It’s just that she married far away and didn’t come today.
After dinner, Zhou Jianyong took Xu Zilan to visit his uncle’s and aunt’s homes.
When they heard that Xu Zilan's brother-in-law was a high-ranking official in the imperial capital, they all congratulated him.
Especially since the family had two bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes, Uncle Zhou was very happy!
"Don't worry, don't worry, uncle will definitely help you with this matter."
"I will go to town a day in advance to arrange the meat you want to order, and I will pick it up early the next morning."
"We have vegetables at home. If you don't have enough, go to my garden and pick as much as you want."
After leaving his uncle's house, Zhou Jianyong sighed deeply: "Zi Lan, you are the one who sees things clearly."
Xu Zilan knew what he was talking about, he was talking about the etiquette of smoking and drinking.
Zhou Jianyong joined the army at the age of seventeen. In his previous life, he only knew how to work hard and had no idea that there were shortcuts in the world.
Now that he insisted on hosting two banquets, the elders of the Zhou family had to be in charge, and naturally one had to bring gifts when inviting the elders.
"One who eats from others is soft-hearted, and one who takes from others is not willing to return the favor. This saying is applicable to everyone in any era and any place."
"I didn't really understand these things before, my second sister taught me."
Zhou Jianyong heard this and said, "I really want to meet my sister-in-law soon. We haven't seen each other for so long. She must have changed a lot."
That’s for sure!
I've lived two lives, how could I not have changed a lot?
Xu Zilan chuckled twice: "I guarantee you won't recognize her."
That should be it.
Zhou Jianyong thought, although Captain Yang's family members were very beautiful, that was nearly thirty years ago.
Everyone will grow old.
The two of them walked back home while talking. Zhou Jianyong wanted to boil some hot water for Xu Zilan to take a bath, but he didn't expect that the pot was full of hot water.
He guessed that it was his second brother who burned it.
"My second brother is actually an honest man, but his vision is not very good."
Xu Zilan smiled when she heard this: "You have good taste."
Zhou Jianyong said proudly: "Of course."
Of course not.
Xu Zilan smiled secretly: If I hadn’t forced you to marry, you wouldn’t want to marry.
The Zhou family’s bathhouse was the kind found in rural areas, located outside the house on a concrete floor together with the pigpen.
Worried that Xu Zilan might be scared, Zhou Jianyong waited outside the door...
"It's okay, go take a shower. I also grew up in the countryside, so I'm not that delicate."
But Zhou Jianyong refused, and Xu Zilan followed his lead. It was not until she finished taking a shower and went into the house that Zhou Jianyong went to take a shower.
"Come up and sleep, what are you sitting for?"
Seeing that Zhou Jianyong was reluctant to go to bed, Xu Zilan blushed: Am I too proactive?
Xu Zilan was lying on the bed wearing a pink pajamas. She had just taken a shower and looked as delicate as a little girl against the pink pajamas.
Zhou Jianyong swallowed his saliva with a "gulp" sound, took a few deep breaths, then went to bed and quickly turned off the lights.
This action made Xu Zilan speechless: This old virgin... was scared by me!
The only sounds in the rural night were the chirping of summer insects and the squeaking of electric fans, but neither could compare to Zhou Jianyong's heavy breathing.
Seeing that he was about to fall off the bed, Xu Zilan took the initiative to act like a female hooligan. She waved her hands and raised her feet, and half of her body lay on Zhou Jianyong...
"Zi Lan..."
Zhou Jianyong's breathing became heavier...
"Jianyong, do you still think I'm too proactive?"
“No, no, no…”
Zhou Jianyong quickly denied: "I... I'm afraid that my imperfect body will make you regret it..."
With a "click", Xu Zilan turned on the light, sat up, and her eyes fell on Zhou Jianyong's legs.
After taking off the prosthetic legs, my right leg was completely gone below the knee, and only half of the thighs were left...
Xu Zilan touched his legs, leaned down and gently pressed her face against his: "Zhou Jianyong, listen carefully, I will say this for the last time: As long as you are alive, it's fine!"
"It's not a disability, it's a symbol of bravery."
"The real disability is not the body, but the mind. People like Zhu Xiaomei are disabled."
"Don't ever say that again, got it?"
It is not defective, it is a symbol of bravery... These words brought tears to Zhou Jianyong's eyes.
Although everyone knows that he is a war hero, how many people call him a cripple behind his back?
Only this woman told him: the real disabled person is the one with a disabled heart, and he is a hero.
Zhou Jianyong sat up and pulled Xu Zilan into his arms: "Thank you, Zilan, tomorrow is our wedding night, I won't treat you casually."
This man...she has really good taste!
In the room, two hearts were pressed together, and outside the window, Zhu Xiaomei cursed angrily: Shameless vixen!
My heart found a home. I slept well that night with my head resting on Zhou Jianyong's arm, and my face was flushed when I woke up.
After breakfast, a car came to the door.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
A man in his early forties got off the car and greeted Xu Zilan as soon as he saw her.
Zhou Jianyong immediately introduced: "This is my comrade's younger brother Shao Feng. He runs a chicken farm in the town."
You are your own boss, no wonder you have a car.
Xu Zilan extended her hand generously: "Hello, I'm sorry to have troubled you today."
"It's not hard at all. I'm very happy to be able to do something for Brother Jianyong."
"Sister-in-law, our brother Jianyong has helped me a lot over the years. I was worried that I could not find a way to repay him. Fortunately, you are here!"
Shao Feng, you are talkative, worthy of being a boss.
Along the way he talked about many things about Zhou Jianyong...all good things.
[Living Lei Feng.] 】
Along the way, these three words were the only ones in Xu Zilan's mind.
It’s easier to get things done when there’s someone around.
After registering, the two went to the Civil Affairs Section of the township government.
Upon hearing that Zhou Jianyong was coming to get married and was going to adopt his niece, the Civil Affairs Section immediately called the County Civil Affairs Bureau...
"I will submit your application tomorrow and notify you when the next batch comes out."
The adoption process is a bit complicated, but that's a good thing, the government supports it.
The two returned to Zhou's home and took the wedding candies they had bought and distributed them door to door. In half a day, everyone in the village knew that they were married.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you, thank you."
When she got home, Xu Zilan's face was sore from laughing: "You have such great connections here. I'm so tired!"
Zhou Jianyong felt a little guilty: "I was not thoughtful enough and shouldn't have dragged you into this."
Xu Zilan laughed: "I am tired, but I am happy!"
"very nice!"
"Zhou Jianyong, you are mine for the rest of my life!"
Zhou Jianyong was also very excited: "Zilan, I will take care of you from now on."
"Yeah! I love you too!"
Three days later, Zhou Jianyong set up two tables at home, and the food was so sumptuous that people still marveled at it years later.
Everyone was in high spirits, except Zhu Xiaomei, who looked gloomy.
"Mom, she's a very nice person. Why are you so angry?"
Her eldest daughter, Zhou Xi, is seventeen years old this year, the same age as Zhou Juan, but is already in the third year of junior high school and will soon take the high school entrance examination.
Xu Zilan also gave her a bag of snacks and a beautiful dress she had never seen before, and she was so happy that it felt like New Year's Day.
But she really didn't understand, wouldn't it be good for her uncle to find someone to live with?
Why is mom so unhappy?
Zhu Xiaomei glanced at her eldest children and angrily scolded them, "You have no sense of propriety. You were bought off by such a small thing?"
Zhou Xi was puzzled: "Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean by bribery?"
I won’t say any more. If I continue, I’ll vomit blood.
Zhu Xiaomei regrets now, regretting letting Zhou Jianyong take her niece Zhou Juan away.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Mom will give you a task."
"It's done. I'll buy you two more beautiful skirts than this one later!"
Task?
Zhou Xi opened his mouth: "Mom, tell me, what is the mission?"
"Go tell Zhou Juan that you two have a good relationship and she will listen to you."
"Tell her not to go with your uncle. She won't have a good life with her stepmother."
What?
Zhou Xi was stunned!
"Mom, I heard Huanhuan say that it was you who asked Uncle to take Juanjuan away. Now you're asking her not to leave. What do you mean?"
Zhu Xiaomei glared at her eldest daughter and said, "Is it okay if I am wrong? If she leaves with you, your uncle won't give her a penny."
"Without the money your uncle gave you, how would you afford to go to high school?"
"Also, if she leaves with you, your uncle's money will be hers, and you won't get a penny."
As soon as these words fell, Zhou Xi looked at his mother as if he were a stranger: "Mom, why are you like this?"
"Uncle has taken care of our family for so many years, and you have been preventing him from finding a wife. Isn't that enough?"
Zhu Xiaomei was annoyed!
Is there something wrong with this child's brain?
"I am not doing this for you guys?"
"If your uncle gets married and has children, do you still want to go to junior high school?"
"I've always been thinking about you. What? Do you think I'm bad now?"
"Are you going?"
"If you don't want to go, don't go to high school! I don't have the money to send you!"
How could this be? How could this be?
My eldest aunt lost her life trying to save my brother, but my mother doesn't want her to live a good life!
Zhou Xi and Zhou Huan have been close to Zhou Jianyong since they were young. Starting from the first grade, Zhou Jianyong has been guiding them with their homework.
She couldn't stand it, so she went straight to Zhou Jianyong...
"Uncle, you have to be careful of my mother. I'm afraid she will do something to Juanjuan."
Zhou Jianyong's face was darker than ink. He took a deep breath and said, "Xixi, uncle was right about you."
"Shu, tell your sister that you two just keep reading. Your uncle promises to send you wherever you finish your studies."
"When you graduate from college, come to the capital to find your uncle, and he will definitely arrange a job for you."
Zhou Xi liked her uncle, and she nodded vigorously: "Okay! Uncle, I will go to the town to serve dishes during the summer vacation, and I will make my own money."
What a good boy! He deserves all his teachings over the years.
Zhu Xiaomei likes sons, and having one is not enough, so she secretly gave birth to a second child.
When she saw it was a daughter, she hid again. Finally, the third child was a son, and the family planning office forced her to get a sterilization before they gave up.
She doesn't like daughters, so these two daughters are just weeds.
If Zhou Jianyong hadn’t come back, the two sisters would have had no idea of going to school.
Zhou Xi was a very smart girl. After looking for Zhou Jianyong, she went to look for Zhou Juan.
"Don't listen to my mother, just follow me. Besides, this lady looks like a very good person."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one will bully you."
Zhou Juan would definitely not stay. After her mother was washed away by the river, only her uncle loved her...
"Sister, you have good grades, study hard."
"My uncle said that we will live in the capital in the future. You should try to get into the capital to go to university."
"I can't bear to leave you, I must take the exam."
Zhou Xi also liked her cousin. She nodded vigorously: "I promise you, I will definitely go to the imperial capital to study at university!"
The two little girls held hands tightly together. This handshake lasted a lifetime...
Half a month later, all the procedures were completed and Zhou Juan had her summer vacation.
The family of three got up early and were about to set off.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please come back and visit us when you have time."
Zhou's younger sister also came. She was reluctant to let her elder brother and sister-in-law go.
But she couldn't go with him.
Zhou Jianyong looked at her and said, "Remember what your sister-in-law told you. When she's done, you can go over there."
Zhou Xiaomei nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it."
Zhou Jianyong was leaving, and many people from the clan came to see him off. With everyone's instructions, the family set off...
One year later, in An City, J Province, today is the opening day of the 'Duomei' brand company established by the largest Junfeng breeding farm in An City.
Junfeng Farm is a miracle.
Their pig farm monitors the entire pig-raising process every day, and professional personnel conduct inspections every month from the time the piglets enter the pens.
——Their pigs don’t eat any feed, they are fed entirely with plants.
All the food he feeds is green vegetables grown by Junfeng himself, all without any pesticides.
Their pigs eat healthier than humans.
Therefore, the braised pork they cook is fragrant, soft, glutinous and sweet.
Nowadays, most of the pork in Anshi comes from Junfeng Farm.
Many people have also heard that this breeding farm is not only in Anshi, but there is also a larger and more advanced one in the imperial capital.
So today I heard that the 'Duowei' meat store is Junfeng Farm's own brand, and the company's entrance was crowded with people early in the morning.
When the company opened, it not only gave out free meat samples, but also held various raffles.
The grand prize is ten recruitment places.
Everyone knows that the wages of workers at Junfeng Farm are comparable to those of civil servants, and once you get in, you get an annual salary of 50,000...
"Hurry up, the lottery will start soon!"
Mrs. Sun was very anxious because her eldest son had not found a good job for a year and the only jobs he found were cleaning or sewer cleaning.
He is a high school graduate.
If he were to join this big company, he would definitely have a bright future with his cultural background.
Sun Zhigang squeezed in with sweat all over his forehead: "Mom, I'm waiting for Yingying and her husband. The more people we have, the greater our chances."
Isn’t it?
Granny Sun nodded: "Hurry up and stand up. The company will cut the ribbon soon, and then there will be a lottery."
"If you win the lottery, your life will be guaranteed for the rest of your life."
That's it!
Sun Zhigang found out everything clearly, Jun Feng’s salary was the highest in the city!
If the farm wasn't in the countryside, he would have asked them if they were hiring.
"knew."
Sure enough, not long after the Sun family members stood still, a host came on stage: "Hasn't everyone always been curious about who the president of Junfeng is?"
"Now, let me introduce to you the founder of Junfeng Farm and Junfeng Multi-Flavor Meat Products: Ms. Xu Zilan!"
"Next, please welcome President Junfeng to the stage!"

Xu Zilan?

The entire Sun family was stunned: it must be someone with the same name! It must be!
At this moment, Xu Zilan came out wearing a red haute cheongsam.
Coming out with her was Zhou Jianyong, who had just been fitted with the world's most advanced prosthetic limbs. He was pushing a baby stroller.
Behind them, there was a beautiful, tall girl in a princess dress...
"Our CEO Xu didn't come alone today. Her whole family came with her!"
"This gentleman in military uniform is her lover, first-class combat hero Zhou Jianyong!"
"Behind them is their niece and their beloved adopted daughter, Miss Zhou Juan."
"Now I would like to introduce to you the lucky couple in this stroller!"
"The future successors of Junfeng Enterprise: Zhou Kaixuan and Zhou Jinxiu, let us welcome this one-month-old twin boy and girl with warm applause!"
Twins, boy and girl?
Her mother, at her old age, actually gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl... She really won't recognize herself anymore!
——With billions of assets, she doesn’t have a penny to lose!
Sun Yingying felt a sweet sensation in her throat and spat out a mouthful of...
"Yingying! Come on, Dad, Yingying is vomiting blood!"
Sun Yingying's man yelled, but Sun Zhigang was already stunned when he saw the fifth-class family on the stage... His eyes went dark and he fell to the ground...
(End of the play)
(My dears, this time it’s really over.)
