Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 17 Black-Hearted Aunt (1)

In order to take care of Zhou Jun more conveniently, the couple always ate in the bedroom.

Zhou Jun saw this scene clearly, and in a panic, he shouted "be careful".

In shock, Li suddenly regained consciousness and steady the table, thus avoiding tragedy.

If she hadn't woken up in time, she might have hit her head on the corner of the table, and a bloody head was inevitable.

After listening to Li's story, Zhou Xiaonan couldn't wait to ask,

"Mom, can Daddy speak normally now? Can I call him Xiaonan?"

Without waiting for Li's answer, he put down the backpack and ran to his parents' bedroom.

Zhou Xiaoxi was also very excited. He quickly bolted the door, placed the wild jujube branch in his hand at the foot of the wall, and followed Li into the house.

The sound of silver bell-like laughter came from the bedroom, adding a touch of warmth to the originally quiet and lonely home.

Zhou Xiaonan was sitting on the edge of the bed, massaging her father's legs and telling him about the interesting things that happened today when they went to the mountains to collect herbs.

It was not a happy story, but the little girl was smart and deleted the unpleasant plot, and only picked out the happy scene where her sister angrily scolded her aunt.

At this time, Zhou Jun could not speak fluently and could only utter one word at a time, as if he had just learned to speak, and he had a lisp.

I guess my tongue is a little stiff because I haven't spoken for a long time.

He half sat on the bed, leaning against the quilt, and listened to his little daughter's chattering quietly with a smile on his face. In the past, he always disliked the children for being too noisy, but now he listened to them like the sound of nature.

The satisfaction of regaining what he had lost has filled his chest, and he is very happy too. Seeing himself getting better, he begins to have hope in life.

During those days when I was lying in bed unable to move even my fingers but my mind could still think, I felt that life was worse than death.

He even hated why he woke up.

But he didn't dare to die, because this orphan and his widowed mother would be eaten to the point of nothing being left!

He never expected that such a close family could be so cold-blooded. Thinking about how he had served the Zhou family wholeheartedly in the past, he felt like his life was a joke!

There was finally hope at home, and Zhou Xiaoxi and his family had a rare happy dinner together.

Although the food she was chewing was a little hard to swallow, it was at least all natural, organic and pollution-free food. She had never eaten so healthily in her previous life.

Alas, this is the only way to comfort myself. !

Not only did Old Man Zhou not have enough food to eat, he also had to endure the shrill noises of his two daughters-in-law, which gave him a headache.

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Old Man Zhou slammed the table with all his strength, and the pain made him see stars.

"Stop it! Big brother, second brother, keep an eye on your wives. If you dare to make any more noise, get out of here!"

After yelling, he felt even more dizzy. It turned out that children are all debts! Old man Zhou was very upset.

"Second brother, tell me. Did you embezzle the ten taels of silver? If you dare to lie, I will not forgive you!"

Zhou Hu is not afraid of his father. He agreed to pay the money because he was afraid that the third brother would drag their entire family into the water. He dare not gamble with the lives of his entire family.

Anyway, I can find a way to get the money back from the third brother's family in the future, so it's no big deal to give it away temporarily.

When the old man was young, he was afraid, there was nothing he could do, because he would really kill people when he beat them.

But I'm already old, and the only thing I can do is speak a little louder. What is there to be afraid of?

He did embezzle the ten taels of silver, but it was originally meant to be given away. He hired the person with his own ability and didn't spend a penny. The silver was his. What was the problem?

Doctor Zhang didn't know anything about the silver. Who could have thought that this matter would be discovered by that little girl Xiaoxi!

That was the truth, but he wasn't stupid enough to tell the truth in front of the whole family.

So he immediately put on an aggrieved look and spoke sadly:

"Dad, big brother, we are a family. I didn't expect you to not believe me! Doctor Zhang has no relationship with us, so why did he come to the village to speak for the third brother without asking for a penny? I have been hiding this from you. He raised the price and wanted twelve taels of silver before he would come to the village."

"For the sake of the overall situation, I had to make up for it myself. I spent so much money all at once, and now my family can't even afford to eat an egg."

After saying this, his eyes turned red and tears welled up in them.

After Zhou Hu's eloquent explanation, everyone fell silent for a moment.

There is some truth in what Zhou Hu said. Who would help others for no reason? Even a fool wouldn't do that.

But if it was Xiaoxi who was trying to sow discord, it seemed unlikely.

How could an illiterate country girl come up with so many twists and turns?

But when I thought about her background, it seemed possible.

When Li picked up the girl from the stream, the little clothes she was wearing and the quilt she was wrapped in looked like they were made of materials that only wealthy families could afford.

Although the children born to wealthy families are not raised by their side, the blood flowing in their bodies is definitely different from that of farmers. They may be born smart and clever.

Thinking of this, Old Man Zhou spoke.

"Okay, it seems like it was all just a misunderstanding. I guess Xiaoxi is holding a grudge against us and is deliberately making trouble here!"

"Eldest brother's wife, stop crying. You don't even have any brains. You were fooled by a girl, and you still have the nerve to cry! Third brother is your brother. Can we just watch him get burned to death? The money has been paid, and the matter has been done. It's not a loss! No one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future!"

When Zhou Hu said that he had added an extra two taels of silver, Old Man Zhou simply wouldn't believe it.

My second son has been fond of being clever since he was young and is the kind of person who never wants to suffer any loss.

Even if he really paid the money, he would never hide it from anyone. He is not that kind of person at all.

As for whether he had embezzled the money, it was hard to verify. Who knew if Doctor Zhang in the city would tell the truth?

He seemed to like the two girls from the third brother's family very much. If he wanted to help anyone, he would help them, so there was no point in looking for him.

The most likely possibility is that Xiaoxi girl is trying to sow discord.

He is truly an ungrateful person!

This matter cannot be let go like this. I haven't even settled the old scores with these three mothers yet, and now something strange has happened again!

Zhou Fu's wife couldn't swallow that anger.

"Father, Xiaoxi is a habitual liar. Now she has the evil intention of stirring up trouble. Are we just going to let it go? If this happens a few more times, won't our Zhou family be torn apart by her? We have raised this little girl who was picked up by the stream for so many years. It's time for her to repay us!"

Old Man Zhou's heart moved, and he instantly understood what his eldest daughter-in-law meant.

But he couldn't be the bad guy, so he pretended not to understand and continued to ask:

"Don't be so secretive when you speak. Tell me clearly how you are going to repay me."
