Chapter 1240: Marriage Recovered Through Fraud (6)
Du Xiaoling was finally persuaded by Shi Chu to sleep with her father and brother. Now that Du Zhou had returned home, she could be lazy now. After all, she was not their biological mother, and they should be closer to their father.
Thinking this way, Shi Chu went back to sleep with peace of mind.
The next day, when Shi Chu got up, she found that Du Zhou and the two children had already gotten up. Du Xiaoling saw that she had just come out, so she pulled her eyes and made a face, saying to Shi Chu, "Auntie is so lazy, we've been up for a long time!"
Shi Chu pinched her little face and said, "Auntie used to get up early to make breakfast for you. Now that your father is finally back, I must take a good rest. Otherwise, I will be exhausted from working too hard."
She spoke so confidently that Du Xiaoling was fooled at once. This kind-hearted little darling immediately looked at her with a worried look on her face: "Then Auntie, you should take a good rest and don't get sick. If you are sick, you will need injections and bitter medicines..."
"Okay, I'll listen to Xiaoling and take a good rest." Shi Chu said while touching her head with relief.
At this time, Du Zhou, who had finished listening to the two people's conversation, looked at Shi Chu with a somewhat indescribable expression. Although he had a better impression of her yesterday, it did not mean that he could forgive her for threatening him to marry her. Therefore, he could not help but remind her: "Wan Cao'er, you'd better not forget why I married you back. You should be content. At least taking care of the children is better than being a slave in your mother's house."
Shi Chu couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. This man really never forgot the original owner's coercion on him. He was very vindictive. But this was done by the original owner Wan Cao'er. What did it have to do with her? She would not feel guilty. If she wanted to be lazy, she would be lazy. As a nanny, she had a few days off every month.
After the family had breakfast, Du Xiaoling and her sister continued to stick with Du Zhou. Shi Chu finally had some long-awaited free time, so she went out happily.
Although Duzhou became a truck driver, he did not move to the city. His family still lived in the village. Perhaps it was because he was away from home all year round. If he lived in the city, it would not be safe to leave his wife and children at home. Only in the village, everyone is familiar with each other, and he can ask for help when he has problems. It is safer and more comfortable.
There are no secrets in the village. How could the original owner, a skinny girl who could not read a word and was treated as a slave by her parents at home, marry Duzhou, a handsome man who was a truck driver with a decent job in the city? Everyone knew the reason clearly.
Therefore, every time she went out, she would meet all kinds of looks. Some young women were jealous of her or envious of her for marrying well; while the older women looked down on her, thinking that she was scheming and not a good woman, and would definitely not be good for Duzhou's two children.
Shi Chu always ignored their looks. After all, it wouldn't bother her and she would leave here in a few years. However, if they meddled in her affairs and came to her to be sarcastic, Shi Chu would not swallow her anger but would fight back without any hesitation, which made those people even more angry and resentful of her.
At this moment, some blind people came up to her and tried to make trouble: "Hey, Wancao'er, Duzhou is back. Why don't you stay at home to take good care of him and have a baby as soon as possible? Why do you go out alone?" As he said this, he glanced at Shi Chu, as if he was looking at something.
Shi Chu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Come out to buy meat. You said Duzhou is back, so I have to make some delicious food for him. By the way, how long have you not eaten meat? I see that you are pale and thin, and your children are all skinny. It must be difficult for you to even eat enough, right? Oh, how pitiful..."
After Shi Chu finished speaking, she sighed and looked like she sympathized with her. When the man heard what she said, he became so angry that his sallow face turned red and his eyeballs almost popped out from glaring at Shi Chu.
"Wan Cao'er! What are you so proud of?! If you hadn't used dirty tricks to force Duzhou to marry you, would you be so proud now? Bah! You have the nerve to show off in front of me?" The man cursed angrily, "I'll see how long you can be so proud!"
"Don't worry, I can be proud all my life." Shi Chu replied in a very angry tone.
The man was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He couldn't scold Shi Chu, so he had to walk away cursing. Shi Chu smiled kindly and glanced at the people who were watching the fun in twos and threes nearby. He felt lonely as snow. Haha, there was no one he could fight!
"This Wan Cao'er is so arrogant..." When Shi Chu walked away, she could still hear the village women whispering to her behind her.
"Who made her marry Duzhou? Look, she has only been married to the Du family for two or three months, but she has already kept her body clean and fair. She no longer looks dry, yellow and withered like grass before. She is like a different person. She dares to speak loudly. When she was at her parents' home before, she didn't even dare to breathe. She really married well..." someone said enviously.
"Humph, it's all her plan. She has evil intentions. It's a pity that Duzhou was blackmailed by her..." Another jealous person shouted sourly.
Even though Duzhou has been married once and has two children, he is still very popular in the village. Many people want to introduce their sisters/daughters/nieces to him. Who would have thought that this popular girl was snatched away by a woman who looks like a gray weed? How could these people not be resentful? If it was a woman with better conditions, they would not be so angry.
Shi Chu listened to these people's sour words and thought that the original owner's only resistance had found a very good way out for herself, but she failed to seize this opportunity to change her fate.
The original owner herself was not a brave and rebellious person. The only marriage she got by fraud had exhausted all her courage in her life.
In the original world, the original owner forced Duzhou to marry her. The original owner's parents received a large sum of money, so they became more and more greedy and set their sights on Duzhou, the son-in-law with a high income. Of course, they would not ask Duzhou for money themselves. They went to the original owner, crying, suppressing, and using all kinds of means to ask the original owner for money.
The original owner was foolishly filial and had long been accustomed to being asked to do whatever her parents wanted and being a supportive brother. Therefore, she obediently racked her brains to get money from Duzhou to support her mother's family.
Later, her parents were still not satisfied. They thought that if Duzhou didn't have those two children, the original owner could get more money from him. So they had bad intentions and tried their best to persuade the original owner to get rid of the two children, saying that those two children were not hers and could not be on the same side as her. It would be safest for her to give birth to her own biological children.
