After Aunt Niu's funeral, Niu Zhu's old house and one acre of land were left. Because Niu Er was the son, he had the right to dispose of it.
Niu Er admitted to being Niu Zhu, and Niu Zhu was driven out.
Niu Zhu stood at the door, staring inside with resentment, the seeds of hatred sprouting in his heart.
Cheng Fangxin patted his head and said, "It's painful to hate someone, man. Think about your grandmother. She would want you to grow up in hatred. If your heart is full of love, hard times will be more painful."
Niu Zhu seemed to understand but not quite.
At this time a woman came over. She looked at Niu Zhu from a distance but did not dare to get close.
Yan Zhi walked up to her and asked, "Do you know Zhuzi?"
The woman hesitated to speak, and finally said in a soft voice: "I am Zhuzi's biological mother."
It turned out that the woman was beaten away by Niu Er. It turned out that she wanted to take Zhuzi with her, but Aunt Niu found out and forced Zhuzi to stay behind.
Over the years, she would occasionally come here secretly, bringing some food and clothes.
But she didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that Niu Er would neglect her.
In recent years, she married an honest man, who was older but treated her well. She did not hide the things she brought from her husband, who opposed her seeing her own child. He even suggested that she take the child to be raised by her family because they did not have any children either.
But Aunt Niu was all alone, and the woman couldn't bear to separate them again. This time, she heard that Aunt Niu had passed away, so she came to see her.
After hearing this, Yan Zhi finally let go of her worries.
She said, there is no mother who would abandon her own child.
"So you came here to take the pillar away?"
The woman looked at Niu Zhu, who looked at her with a strange look in his eyes. She stepped forward and hugged Niu Zhu, crying and saying, "Zhuzi, are you still willing to recognize me as your mother? I have had my own difficulties over the years."
Niu Zhu 꺳 was four years old when the woman left, and 놛 had vague memories. 놛 had a picture deep in his mind, a woman with a bruised face hugging 놛 and crying, crying heartbreakingly.
When Niu Er got drunk and had a temper, he would even beat Aunt Niu, let alone his own wife.
Niu Zhu hugged her and cried, "Mom, Mom!"
When the woman heard the word "Mom", she cried even harder. The village chief persuaded her, and everyone was happy.
Yan Zhi followed suit and started crying again.
Cheng Fangxin couldn't help laughing, staring at Yan Zhi tenderly and said, "You really love to cry."
Yan Zhi wiped her tears and said, "I'm happy for you."
Outside the door, Su Xiaoluo stood there feeding Fatty Orange chicken legs, which made the wolf beast sick.
"Do you want me to stay with you for a while longer?" The God of Plague hates this kind of people the most.
"No, I am a debt collector. Once I have paid off my debts, I will have more time left in this world." Su Xiaoluo said.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. If Aunt Niu could live to be over 100 years old, she could stay in this world longer.
Everything has cause and effect, and everyone's existence has meaning.
At night, the weather was exceptionally cold, with gusts of cold wind. There were lightning and thunder outside, and the Niu family's house had already been overwhelmed.
The door was blown with a loud bang.
The house had been under repair for years and it leaked everywhere, so the accumulated water splashed onto Niu Er's face.
Niu Er was drinking and getting angry. He staggered into the yard holding a bottle of wine.
He pointed to the sky and said, "I'm drinking, and you dare to disturb me! If you have any problem, you can kill me! Damn! What a spoilsport!"
I was the only one left at home, and there was no one to vent my anger on.
He raised his middle finger and shouted, "Fuck you!"
At this moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and Niu Er fell to the ground as if he had been electrocuted. He opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen Aunt Niu's appearance.
"Son! It's time for you to go!"
The next day, people found Niu Er dead. The Niu family was burned to ashes in the heavy rain, leaving nothing behind.
He quickly wrapped himself in a mat and went down to the ground.
——
Several days of heavy rain washed the Acropolis clean, and it still rained.
Su Zhengguo said with emotion: "If it continues like this, who knows where the flood will happen again."
Natural disasters are man-made disasters, and natural disasters are the most unavoidable. Humans are vulnerable in front of nature.
Su Xiaoluo, who was sitting opposite and playing with Fatty Ju, also calmed down at this time and said, "Zicheng and Zixuan should be here soon."
After hearing this, Cheng Ya wiped her hands with her apron, hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and opened the door.
Su Zhengguo smiled and shook his head: "In the past few days, you miss your grandchildren again?"
Su Xiaoluo glanced at the toys that Su Zhengguo had hidden and asked, "Who prepared the toys so early?"
Su Zhengguo glared at Su Xiaoluo and said, "You girl."
While they were talking, Mother Yan and her husband had already sent the child to the door.
Cheng Ya looked around and asked, "Yan Zhi didn't come!"
Since Professor Yan and his wife were hired by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, they were only available on Saturdays and Sundays. Cheng Ya had to take care of the children on Mondays and Fridays.
The old couple now have jobs and seem more energetic than usual.
"Zhizhi has something to do at the newspaper. I heard that the report she wrote was selected and she will be able to become a full-time employee next month." Yan's mother said proudly.
"That report was read to me by Wanwan. It was so well written that it made me cry," Cheng Ya said with emotion.
"Mother-in-law, our Zhizhi has a bad heart because we spoiled her in the past." Mother Yan held her hand, "We were right in the past. We should make an appointment to have dinner together another day. For the sake of the child, we should reconcile if possible."
"Hey, that's what I meant." Cheng Ya agreed repeatedly.
"Then let's make an appointment. Old Yan and I will leave first." Seeing that she had no objection, Yan's mother was relieved.
Cheng Ya saw them off and sighed. When she came back, Zicheng and Zixuan were already playing with Su Xiaoluo.
Cheng Ya walked over and asked, "Zicheng, what has your mother been busy with recently?"
Su Zicheng answered obediently, "My mother works hard, reading and writing every day. I heard from her that she is going to set up an organization to defend children's rights. I understand now!"
"It should be a public welfare." Su Zhengguo also read the report written by Yan Zhi. He didn't expect that there would be so many cases of child abuse in the country.
"This is a good thing, Yan Zhi did the right thing." Cheng Ya said with emotion, but for some reason, she felt empty in her heart.
Although the second brother's family hasn't divorced yet, how can it be justified for them to continue living apart like this?
"Grandma, I want to eat apples, can I?" Su Zixuan asked in a baby voice.
"Of course. I'll peel the apple for you right now." Cheng Ya hurried to the kitchen.
Su Wan came down from the building and said, "Now my second sister-in-law's family, those who were professors are now professors, and those who were reporters are now reporters. It can be said that they have completely turned over a new leaf. In the past, they all looked down on us, and in the future, they will look down on the Su family even more!"
After hearing this, Cheng Ya's hands were so tight that she almost cut her own hand. Su Xiaoluo appeared and took the spoon from her, frowning and saying, "I'll do it."
"Oh, thank you!" Cheng Ya was worried.
At this time, someone knocked on the door again. Cheng Ya walked over and opened the door. It was Fu Yuting and Tang Yutian.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Tang Xiaotian was holding some gifts in his hands.
