Chapter 004: Going to the Post Office to Withdraw Money
Luo Xiuxiu became even more excited when she heard this, "Why am I worrying about nothing? She has so much money, maybe she didn't take out all your father's money at that time."
In the past, this family had always been managed by Zhou's father.
The day after Zhou's father was buried, Luo Xiuxiu went home and made a big fuss.
Liu Rong was required to divide up all of Zhou's father's savings, otherwise she would keep it all for herself, and then find a partner and take the money belonging to their Zhou family to someone else's home.
Liu Rong was already saddened by the loss of her husband at the time, and she couldn't stand Luo Xiuxiu's humiliation of her.
Without saying a word, he took out all the money and divided it into five parts in front of all his uncles and relatives.
A total of three thousand dollars.
The two sons took the lion's share, with each receiving one thousand.
The remaining thousand was divided between her and her two daughters.
She kept five hundred. Although her youngest daughter was engaged, she had not yet married, so the dowry money must be left for her. Therefore, three hundred was given to Zhou Yueyi, who was in charge of it. Although her eldest daughter Zhou Zhengmei was married, because she got married early, the family did not have much money to prepare a decent dowry for her. So Liu Rong decided to give the remaining two hundred to Zhou Zhengmei.
Zhou Zhengmei didn't want to take the money, but before she could say anything, Luo Xiuxiu started making a fuss. She complained that Liu Rong got too much for herself, that the dowry given to Zhou Yueyi was too much, and that Zhou Zhengmei, who was already married, shouldn't take the money.
At this time, Zhou Nanxu, who had rarely been at home, started talking and asked Luo Xiuxiu whether her family should not get a share of the thousand yuan. After all, the eldest son was already married, and he had not yet started a family. Logically, he should get a larger share.
Luo Xiuxiu had taken advantage of Zhou Nanxu in this matter, but the most important thing was that Zhou Nanxu's eyes were so terrifying at that time that she unconsciously followed his heart.
In the end, Zhou Nanxu's 1,000 yuan naturally returned to Liu Rong's hands, and Zhou Yueyi's 300 yuan was also in her hand. Although Zhou Zhengmei took the money in front of everyone, she gave it to Liu Rong after everyone left.
Although Liu Rong was a stepmother, she had never treated her and Zhou Zhengfu badly, let alone abused them.
She and Zhou Zhengfu were not the only ones in the village who had a stepmother. The two siblings naturally compared the lives of other stepmothers after they came into the family with the lives they and Zhou Zhengfu led.
In the eyes of the brother and sister, Liu Rong is not their biological mother but is better than their biological mother.
The frustrated Luo Xiuxiu didn't dare to make trouble with Zhou Nan, but she couldn't avoid making trouble with Zhou Zhengfu when she returned home.
Unfortunately, Zhou Zhengfu was like a mute person. He just let her throw tantrums and curse at him without saying a word, as if he didn't hear anything.
But Zhou Zhengfu is different now. Not only will he fight back against her, he will also tell her to get out with just a few words.
He came right away, "Luo Xiuxiu, are you done yet? If you think this family is unbearable, just go back to Luojiatun."
Zhou Zhengfu stood up and dressed as he spoke. After he was ready, he bent down, picked up Zhou Dabao who was sleeping on the kang, wrapped him in a quilt and walked out of the room.
Luo Xiuxiu was left alone on the kang, crying and howling as she watched the father and son leave. "Zhou Zhengfu, you heartless dog, do you also like that vixen? Oh my god, why is my life so miserable..."
"father."
Zhou Dabao, who was woken up, stretched out his chubby little hands to rub his sleepy eyes and called out in a baby voice.
"Now that you're awake, get down and stand on the ground. I'll light a fire and cook." Zhou Zhengfu put Zhou Dabao on the ground.
As soon as Zhou Dabao's short legs touched the ground, he pouted and looked at Zhou Zhengfu, tears in his eyes, "Dad, I want to go find my grandma."
From the time he was born until now, it can be said that he was brought up by Liu Rong. He eats and sleeps with Liu Rong, so he is the one who is most attached to Liu Rong in the family.
The one he feared the most was his mother, Luo Xiuxiu. She would often scold her grandmother with a ferocious face, and sometimes she would also scold him.
Although he didn't quite understand why she was scolding, he was afraid whenever he saw his mother's fierce face.
Zhou Zhengfu wiped the tears from his son's face, sighed, and patiently explained, "Grandma and my aunt are going to the market. You can go find me when I come back."
From the separation of the family to now, he has been the one taking care of Zhou Dabao, even when he goes to the fields.
Liu Rong not only raises her son well, but also teaches him well.
The child is at the age when he learns from others, and he doesn't want to leave the child at home and let Luo Xiuxiu teach him the wrong things.
After so many years of noisy marriage, Zhou Zhengfu felt particularly tired.
He agreed to the division of the family without even thinking about it.
Just because Rong Mei was able to stand up for Liu Rong and beat Luo Xiuxiu, Zhou Zhengfu completely agreed to divide the family and let Liu Rong live with his brother's wife.
At least this sister-in-law will treat my mother better than Luo Xiuxiu.
He has been tolerating Luo Xiuxiu's behavior over the years, thinking that after she vented her anger with him, she would not have the energy to find fault with Liu Rong again, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be eased and more harmonious.
After his father passed away, there were only two brothers, him and Zhou Nanxu, in the family. His younger brother had been in the army for many years and would choose to stay in the army to continue his studies. This meant that he was the only one left in the family. Moreover, he was the eldest. As long as Liu Rong did not remarry and leave the Zhou family, he would have to take on the responsibility of providing for Liu Rong in her old age.
Now that Rong Mei, the sister-in-law, has stepped forward, facts have proved that the decision to split the family was right, and Liu Rong is now living a real life.
Without any worries, Zhou Zhengfu would naturally not allow Luo Xiuxiu to continue doing this, even though divorce would have a bad reputation.
Dabao lost his mother when he was young, but Luo Xiuxiu refused to change.
It is better not to have such a mother. If you have one, you will have to worry about her teaching your son the wrong way. As for whether his reputation is good or not, it is nothing compared to this kind of life.
This side of the county.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rode for nearly an hour before they reached the market.
After breakfast, it was almost eight o'clock.
It just so happened that the county post office opened at 8 o'clock and the big market did not end until 12 o'clock, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law planned to go to the post office to withdraw money first, and then go shopping after withdrawing the money. This way they didn't have to carry large and small bags of things around, and they could arrange their time well.
So the two of them came out of the morning market again and rode their bikes straight to the post office.
The timing was perfect. As soon as I arrived, the door of the post office opened.
Rong Mei stayed outside to watch the bicycle while Liu Rong went in alone to get it.
This has been going on for several years and it is something that Rong Mei is very familiar with. Naturally, she would not worry that Liu Rong would not do such a thing.
He found a less conspicuous corner and propped up the bicycle's legs. The bike instantly became taller, and Rong Mei sat on the back seat.
He kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the gate, waiting for Liu Rong to come out and start the car at any time.
