The captain's wife gets angry whenever she thinks of her two terrible daughters-in-law. Alas, now she just hopes that the third son can be more discerning and find a good wife, and not end up like the eldest and second sons' families, otherwise she is afraid that she will not live long.
Zhou Yunzhou and Jiang Qingwu left the captain's house and started to take the ox cart towards the village entrance. Although it was hot now, it was still a little chilly in the morning. Jiang Qingwu put a small coat and a hat on Little Sun. The little guy lay in Zhou Yunzhou's arms, like a small pendant.
The two of them arrived a little early today. Uncle Li had just arrived at the village entrance in his ox cart. When he saw the young couple coming to ride in the ox cart, he greeted them warmly. Uncle Li also teased the little sun.
After waiting for a while, people who needed to go to the town came one after another to take the ox cart. Zhou Lianhua and Ruan Pingcheng were also going to the town today. Jiang Qingwu smiled sarcastically. This was really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
Zhou Lianhua saw Zhou Yunzhou and Jiang Qingwu on the oxcart and sneered at them, as if she didn't take them seriously. Zhou Yunzhou and Jiang Qingwu ignored her. How could she? A dog can bite you, but you can't bite her, right? Isn't it dirty?
"Wife, did you bring some water for Xiao Taiyang in your bag? It's time for him to drink some water," Zhou Yunzhou estimated the time. Xiao Taiyang would drink some water at this time every day.
Jiang Qingwu took out his bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Zhou Yunzhou, who was feeding Little Sun.
Uncle Li had already started driving the ox cart towards the town. Jiang Qingwu and Zhou Yunzhou were holding Little Sun and teasing him. The other aunts and sisters-in-law were talking about village gossip in the cart, and from time to time they would praise Little Sun for being obedient and not crying or making a fuss.
As for Zhou Lianhua and Ruan Pingcheng, it was naturally Ruan Pingcheng who put on the condescending attitude of an intellectual, while Zhou Lianhua took care of him diligently like a maid. Not only did she give him the eggs in her bag, she also got a white steamed bun from somewhere and gave it to Ruan Pingcheng.
Ruan Pingcheng ate the steamed buns and eggs Zhou Lianhua gave him, and complained that Zhou Lianhua did not bring him any meat. How could he not eat a good breakfast? He wanted to take her back to the city to live a good life. How could he work hard to return to the city without eating well?
When Jiang Qingwu heard these words that even a dog wouldn't believe, she wanted to clap her thighs and laugh. It was the first time she heard such idiotic words from a freeloader. But, Zhou Lianhua, this idiot, actually believed it.
Zhou Lianhua looked at the people on the oxcart, pretending to be moved but shy, and said loudly in a pinched voice, "Hey, Ruan Zhiqing, why are you saying this? It's so embarrassing when so many people are talking. I knew you would definitely take me back to the city."
Jiang Qingwu glanced at Zhou Yunzhou, and when they looked at each other, they almost couldn't help laughing. It wasn't that Zhou Lianhua was unintelligent, she just didn't have much brains, and she even believed such nonsense.
Zhou Yunzhou wanted to beat her to death, and he hated that he was born from the same mother as her. Fortunately, Old Lady Zhou was not kind to him, and he had almost severed ties with the Zhou family. Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed to go out with a sister like Zhou Lianhua.
Several aunts listened and stared at the two of them, just like watching a play. You know what, there are often people like Ruan Zhiqing who live off their money in plays.
One of the aunts couldn't stand it any longer and thought she should remind Zhou Lianhua. She advised earnestly, "Lianhua, you can't just listen to what a man says. You have to watch what he does. Otherwise, you'll be sold and have to count money for him."
Several other aunts who had daughters at home also followed suit and gave some advice, which made Ruan Pingcheng blush with embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Zhou Lianhua could not tell the difference between good and bad words, rolled her eyes at them, and pinched her plump waist to confront her.
"I'm afraid your daughters are jealous of me because they can't find a good match for an educated youth from the city. I'm just lucky and good-looking. That's what educated youth Ruan likes. It's because your daughters aren't as good-looking and lucky as me."
The aunts were so angry that they took your kindness for granted. You, Zhou Lianhua, deserved to be cheated. Old Mrs. Zhou only knew how to be vicious to Zhou Laowu. She raised her own daughter to be such a brainless idiot. It was really hilarious.
The other aunts didn't want to bother with her anymore. Zhou Lianhua was still bullying them, saying this and that. Aunt Zhang was so angry that she slapped her in the face and said, "Watch your mouth! Ask your mother if she dares to talk to me like that."
Several aunts grabbed Aunt Zhang and wanted to give her a few more big hands. Uncle Li stopped the ox cart and said seriously, "It's not safe to ride in this cart. Everyone, please sit still. You, a good, unmarried girl, how can you be so shameless? If you still have trouble, get off and don't ride in the ox cart again."
Zhou Lianhua didn't dare to say anything. Going to town without taking the ox cart would be exhausting. Aunt Li saw Zhou Lianhua's licking dog look and said to Zhou Yunzhou, "Yunzhou, you are ashamed to have such a thing in your family."
Jiang Qingwu had a gentle smile on her pretty face, and she said to the aunts casually, "Aunt, look at what you are talking about. Didn't my Yunzhou family set up a separate family? How can we be a family with others? There is no one in my family who is stupid."
Several aunts understood what Jiang Qingwu meant. This young wife was a smart person, much better than those people in the Zhou family. It was a blessing for Zhou Yunzhou to be separated from the Zhou family.
Zhou Yunzhou simply said, "I only have my wife and my son as my family. I don't recognize anyone else."
Several aunts looked at the young couple with admiration. The only smart son of the Zhou family was driven out by them. The people of the Zhou family deserved to starve to death. They deserved it.
After arriving in the town, Jiang Qingwu and Zhou Yunzhou separated from them. The aunts went shopping in groups of two or three, while Zhou Lianhua and Ruan Pingcheng went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Ruan Pingcheng disliked Zhou Lianhua very much. He thought that Zhou Lianhua, a big, strong country girl, was not worthy of standing with him. She was not worthy of standing by his side, but he needed Zhou Lianhua to provide him with delicious food, so he could only endure Zhou Lianhua and put up with her.
Ruan Pingcheng walked into the supply and marketing cooperative with an expressionless face and an air of pretentiousness. Zhou Lianhua followed him with a forced smile, saying as they walked, "Ruan Zhiqing, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."
Ruan Pingcheng walked up to the counter with the air of a wealthy man, pointed at the items on the counter and said to the salesperson, "I want two pounds of egg cake, two pounds of milk candy, and a bottle of canned fruit."
When Zhou Lianhua heard what he wanted, she clenched the pocket of her clothes that contained the money, and kept calculating in her mind how much money it would cost. The money in her pocket was her mother's money that she had secretly taken. If her mother knew about this, she would be very angry.
The salesperson brought Ruan Pingcheng what he wanted, thinking he was going to pay. But Ruan Pingcheng turned around and called out to Zhou Lianhua, who was standing there in a daze, in a harsh tone, "Come here and pay. Didn't you say you wanted to buy it?"
Zhou Lianhua had no choice but to put on a smile and walked forward to take out the money from her pocket. She reluctantly handed the money and ticket to the salesperson, and also held things for Ruan Pingcheng like a servant.
