Chapter 120
When he saw Zhang Guixiang, he greeted her. Seeing that the package was big, he delivered it to Zhou's house before leaving.
"Oh, your son has sent back another package." A neighbor passing by said enviously when he saw the postman carrying a large package to Zhou's house.
Zhang Guixiang's mouth corners turned up and a smile appeared on her face.
"They are always thinking about me and my old man. I told them not to waste money like this. The postage is so expensive."
How could the neighbors not know that she was happy?
"How is it a waste? Your two sons are so filial, unlike the one in my family who still asks his parents for money at home."
In fact, the children in the family work in a factory and hand over all their wages to the factory. He says this with a smile on his face.
"Hey, having children around has its advantages, they can help with anything."
Zhang Guixiang and her neighbor boasted to each other and both were very happy.
After seeing the neighbors off, Zhang Guixiang closed the yard, opened the package, and saw that it contained supplements such as Cordyceps sinensis.
She kept muttering that they were all precious things, and her smile deepened.
After locking the things carefully in the cabinet in the room, Zhang Guixiang went to wash her hands and opened the envelope.
She had read Mang a few years ago and studied it seriously, so she knew quite a few characters.
Since I joined the factory and became a manager in the canteen, I thought that I was an official no matter how big or small, so I studied more carefully in private. Now I can recognize almost all the characters that can be used.
Just reading a letter is no problem at all.
But when Zhang Guixiang opened the envelope, she thought it was a letter about trivial matters, but when she saw the contents, her face froze.
After reading the entire letter, his brows frowned and then relaxed, with a very complicated expression.
Old Man Zhou is responsible for closing the door and will be back a little later.
When he came back, he wondered why the yard door was closed. When he came in, he saw the unpacked package and the letter in Zhang Guixiang's hand. He walked over happily with a smile on his face.
"Xiaozi and the others have sent things back again. These kids are useless to us at home, and they always send things back."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Zhang Guixiang was glaring at him with the broom in her hand. Old man Zhou backed away in fear.
"What are you doing? I didn't do anything."
Could it be that the two children knew that he had hidden his own pocket money for buying alcohol and wrote it in the letter?
Seeing that Old Man Zhou looked guilty, Zhang Guixiang became even angrier and chased him with a broom in hand.
"You didn't do anything? You dared to pretend that Zhou Ying's child was mine, and kept it from me for more than 20 years, and you haven't done anything? Are you going to heaven?"
With a loud bang, Old Man Zhou was so shocked by these words that he stood still. He looked at Zhang Guixiang guiltily and let the broom fall heavily on him.
"You know?"
"No, no one knows about this except me. How did you know?"
Zhang Guixiang gritted her teeth and waved the broom a few more times.
However, worried that the neighbors might hear the noise, he held back his anger, grabbed Old Man Zhou's ear, dragged him into the house, then closed the door tightly and threw the letter at Old Man Zhou.
"How do I know? Zhou Xiao wrote to me and told me!"
"You are a good brother. Something happened at your brother-in-law's house, so you brought your nephew home and pretended he was your own child."
"You are so kind and great. Those years were so chaotic. Couldn't you have thought about your family? How dare you do such a thing?"
Zhang Guixiang was extremely angry and kept complaining about her grievances.
Old man Zhou quickly read the letter. Since Zhou Xiao already knew about it, why was he still hiding it from him?
"Xiaoying's family was in such a situation at that time that we couldn't take the child with us. I originally wanted to raise Zhou Xiao in a child-bearing dual-income family in the city."
"But you know that one of the twins is gone. She was bleeding heavily and was rushed to the city hospital overnight."
"I thought at the time, if the child came back to life, you would be able to get better."
"Later, you found out that the child was not dead and was really saved. It would not be okay to let the child die again, so I kept Zhou Xiao."
Old man Zhou described what happened at that time in detail. He did think about bringing Zhou Xiao in to raise him, but no matter how much he loved his sister, he also had to think about his own family.
If it weren't for this accident, Zhou Xiao would now be an adopted son in a dual-income family in the city, rather than the son of the old Zhou family.
As Old Man Zhou spoke, Zhang Guixiang rubbed her head as she thought of those things.
It seemed that he was sent to the hospital, but she was so sad at the time that she thought her son was really alive.
When they felt better, they figured out that the child was Old Man Zhou who ran back to replace their son.
Thinking of this, Zhang Guixiang was so angry that she kicked Old Man Zhou twice again.
"Then when I recover from my illness, you won't explain it clearly, so I have always misunderstood that Zhou Xiao was born by you and the woman outside."
Old Man Zhou huddled in the corner. "How could I dare to tell you about the Xi family's situation? It was a different world back then. It's only in the past few years that things have changed. I wanted to talk to Zhou Xiao about it, so that he could at least know his life experience."
"Xiaoying and her family haven't contacted me for so many years. I'm afraid they didn't make it. I also wanted Zhou Xiao to build a cenotaph for his parents, but there have been so many things going on in the past two years that it's been delayed until now."
This is unreliable. Zhang Guixiang's anger was rising rapidly, and her blood pressure seemed to be high.
After kicking Old Man Zhou hard a few times, Zhang Guixiang sat down and patted his chest.
After so many years, she felt awkward about Zhou Xiao for many years. But when she realized that Zhou Xiao was not the son of old man Zhou's other woman, she was not so angry anymore.
Now that I know that Zhou Xiao is my sister-in-law's child, I recall the days when my sister-in-law lived in luxury, and how the scene changed beyond recognition overnight.
Zhang Guixiang sighed, what a cruel fate.
But her sister-in-law's family used to be very good to the Zhou family. She and her sister-in-law became pregnant one after another, and Zhou Ying would send her a copy of whatever she had.
Zhang Guixiang did not lack nutrition during her pregnancy, and Old Man Zhou was also arranged to work in the county. It was only after Zhou Ying cut off ties with them that Old Man Zhou voluntarily resigned.
Before the Xi family left, they found a way to send a few small yellow croakers to the Zhou family.
It was thanks to these small yellow croakers that the family was able to survive and raise three children during the years of famine in the village.
Zhang Guixiang resented that Old Man Zhou took her sister-in-law's son and raised him as his own son, but she said people should remember the kindness.
Especially considering her attitude towards Zhou Xiao over the years, Zhang Guixiang blushed.
"It's all your fault, you old man! If I had told you earlier that Zhou Xiao was my sister-in-law's son, would I have treated him like that?"
Old man Zhou allowed the old woman to beat and scold him, but if it happened again, it would be better if fewer people knew about this kind of thing.
He was in a state of panic for several years, fearing that his family would encounter the same misfortune as the Xi family.
But she couldn't throw her nephew Zhou Xiao away, so she could only worry and feed the child at the same time.
Zhang Guixiang was in poor health after giving birth, and she regarded Zhou Xiao as her spiritual support. She woke up in shock after taking the child away and started looking for the child everywhere. He didn't dare to say anything.
