"Sister Zhihuan, the things..." Zhu Xiaoxiu didn't come back to his senses until the courtyard door slammed shut in front of him.

"Tell your brother that I'm still a child and can't be the stepmother of three children. Also, I don't like older people. He and I are not suitable. Let him give up on this idea!" Shen Zhihuan said bluntly.

Zhu Xiaoxiu knocked on the door. "Although my brother is a bit old and looks big and strong, he is actually very considerate and loves his wife. He was really good to my deceased sister-in-law. Before, my sister-in-law was pregnant with my nephew and wanted to eat eggs in the middle of the night, but there were none at home, so my brother got up in the middle of the night and knocked on the neighbor's door..."

Zhu Xiaoxiu likes her future sister-in-law. She is not only beautiful, but also reasonable in her words. She is not like those gossipy old ladies in the village who always talk about this daughter-in-law and that mother-in-law.

"Do you want your future man to have another woman in his heart?" Shen Zhihuan opened the door and said to Zhu Xiaoxiu.

"I don't want to!" Zhu Xiaoxiu shook her head.

"That's such a coincidence. I don't want to do that either." Shen Zhihuan smiled.

"My brother really loves you." Zhu Xiaoxiu still had some hope.

"Marriage is a matter between two people. There's no point in being attached to one person. Go back quickly! It's very sunny outside. Be careful of getting a heat stroke." Shen Zhihuan closed the door, not wanting to talk more.

Talking about marriage...

It was not within her consideration.

Watching the courtyard door close again, Zhu Xiaoxiu sighed and went home carrying her bags.

When Mrs. Zhu, who was cooking lunch at home, heard the noise, she quickly put down the kitchen knife and went out.

Seeing that the things in my daughter's hands were taken back as they were, I couldn't help but sigh.

"No one's home again?"

"Someone is here." Zhu Xiaoxiu put the things on the dining table, picked up the ladle, scooped a large ladle of cold water from the water tank, and drank it in big gulps.

The two villages don't seem far away, and it would take at least an hour to go back and forth.

Old Madam Zhu frowned. "Why did you bring these things back? Is it that the mother of the third daughter of the Shen family..."

After drinking the water, Zhu Xiaoxiu scooped another bucket of water into the basin, wet the towel and washed her face.

"No! It was my sister-in-law... Sister Zhihuan asked me to bring it back. She said that she was still a child and couldn't be the stepmother of my three nephews. She also said that she didn't like old people, nor did she like people who had someone in their heart..."

"Someone in my heart? Who do I have in my heart? Are you talking nonsense in front of your sister-in-law?"

Boss Zhu had just seen people cleaning up the slaughterhouse, and because he was worried about something at home, he hurried back. But before he even stepped into the yard, he heard what his sister said, and he immediately became angry.

When he looked again at the things on the table and saw that they were taken back intact, he was immediately furious.

"I didn't say anything." Zhu Xiaoxiu retorted subconsciously.

"You didn't say that. You didn't say that your sister-in-law would say that she doesn't like someone having someone in his heart?" Boss Zhu's face turned pale.

He acknowledged the fact that he had three sons.

Even if people complained that he was too old, he accepted it because he was more than ten years older than the girl.

If you say he has someone in his heart, he will never admit it even if you beat him to death.

If he had someone in his heart, how could he have the nerve to let his sister come to him again and again to cause trouble.

"I told you that you are good to your wife. When my sister-in-law was pregnant with my nephew, she wanted to eat eggs in the middle of the night, but we didn't have any. So you got up in the middle of the night and...knocked on...the neighbor's door..." When Zhu Xiaoxiu said the last few words, her voice was so low that even she could not hear it.

"I'm going to beat you to death, you stupid idiot..." Boss Zhu raised his hand and slapped Zhu Xiaoxiu so hard that she shrank into a ball.

After a while, Boss Zhu slowly lowered his raised hand, and he slapped his thigh angrily.

How could he let this fool deliver things?

Zhu Xiaoxiu shrank her neck and whispered, "Brother, if Sister Zhihuan is unhappy, it's her loss..."

Boss Zhu glared at Zhu Xiaoxiu fiercely, then turned around and went back to the house.

The sound of the door closing scared the mother and daughter at the kitchen door.

"What can I say to you? You usually seem very smart, but just at this moment..." Old Mrs. Zhu poked Zhu Xiaoxiu's forehead.

"My brother has three children and is much older than Sister Zhihuan. If Sister Zhihuan is not happy, what can I do?" Zhu Xiaoxiu pouted.

Sister Zhihuan is so beautiful, it would be a miracle if she is willing to be someone's stepmother!

"Although your brother is a little older than her, what are the conditions of her family and our family? If your brother is still a grown man, can he be interested in her?" Old Mrs. Zhu felt quite resentful.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

How dare a sickly person despise her son?

She doesn't even consider her own worth. Given her family's financial situation, how many people would be willing to take over?

Her son gave her face, but she still acted pretentiously.

With her family's conditions, many young girls with big waists and big butts want to enter her house but can't! "Mom, if a man who has lost his wife and three children wants to marry me in the future, and he is more than ten years older than me, will you agree?" Zhu Xiaoxiu looked at Mrs. Zhu and said.

"He's just dreaming. How can a young girl like me become a stepmother to a child?" Old Mrs. Zhu snorted with her neck stiffened.

"Sister Zhihuan and Sister Zhihuan's mother think so too." Zhu Xiaoxiu said in a low voice.

"...Kid, which side are you on?" Old Mrs. Zhu glared at Zhu Xiaoxiu unhappily.

How could she give birth to such a traitorous person? After sending Zhu Xiaoxiu away, Shen Zhihuan was in a very good mood and took Xiao Weidong to the West Back Mountain not far from Shen's house. This time, she did not dare to go inside with Xiao Weidong. She just dug some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain and went back home.

From a distance they saw the group of educated youth carrying hoes, talking and laughing as they came towards them.

"Third sister, the educated youth." Little Weidong pointed excitedly.

"Don't point at others. It's impolite." Shen Zhihuan smiled and patted Xiao Weidong's hand.

"Third sister, can I become an educated youth when I grow up?" Little Weidong retracted his hand and looked up at Shen Zhihuan.

"Why do you want to be an educated youth?" Shen Zhihuan tried to hold back his laughter.

I’ve heard of people who want to be scientists, doctors, and policemen…

This was the first time she heard of someone wanting to become an educated youth.

"Because the educated youth know everything. Last time the tractor in the village broke down, it was educated youth Chu who fixed it." Little Weidong said with admiration.

"When you go to school and study hard, you will understand everything." Shen Zhihuan smiled and rubbed little Weidong's soft face.

The rice porridge, steamed buns and flower rolls were really not wasted. It has only been a short time, but the little face feels much softer than before.
