Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Soon, Zhou Xiaoxi's house was full of people, all of them were from the Zhou family. Naturally, Zhou Fu's wife did not show up.

The Zhou family staged a fierce drama of father-son and brotherly love, and others also shed tears.

If outsiders saw this, they would not be able to help but praise the Zhou family for their loyalty and righteousness.

Zhou Xiaoxi found out that he was wrong. This poor and remote area not only produced unruly people, but also dramatic people.

It's a pity that these people were born in the wrong time and space. If they were born in the 21st century, the whole family, young and old, would go to Hengdian to play supporting roles, and perhaps a few "old actors" could be cultivated.

Zhou Jun couldn't speak clearly and could only look at everyone with a stiff expression.

Was he blind before? How come he didn't realize that the Zhou family was so hypocritical? He really regretted it.

I might as well change my name to Zhou and regret it, and remind myself every day how blind I was in the past!

Seeing that everyone was acting endlessly and their real goal had not been achieved, Zhou Xiaoxi spoke up at the right time:

"My elders, my father has just recovered from a serious illness and is too weak to handle so many people. Please be understanding and considerate."

Everyone stopped the performance in embarrassment, and Old Man Zhou acted like the head of the family, shouting at everyone to go home.

The eldest and second sons of the Zhou family, who believed they were closest to Zhou Jun, would naturally stay.

Interrupting the desire of several people to perform again, Li directly asked Zhou Lao for help.

"Father-in-law, you can see that it will take a long time for our Zhou Jun to fully recover. Doctor Zhang told him before he left that he would have to take the medicine for a year or so. Although Sister Xiaoxi can go to the mountains to collect herbs, the ginseng in the prescription can only be bought at the city clinic."

Having said that, Li deliberately paused and looked at the father and his two sons.

Old Man Zhou and his two sons all looked stunned. After going around in circles, the purpose of today was to ask them for money?

The faces of brothers Zhou Fu and Zhou Hu were not looking good. How much money could they save as farmers? Why should they keep giving it to the third brother?

Old man Zhou couldn't help but look at his youngest son.

Although the person has woken up, it seems that he has difficulty even sitting up. Can the third child recover?

This Li was probably deceiving him. The third child might be like this for the rest of his life! A disabled person would only become a burden to the Zhou family.

If this is true, it won't be difficult to make a choice. Old Man Zhou wanted to test it out again.

"Third brother, tell dad, how do you feel now?" As he said this, he put his hands on Zhou Jun's shoulders and exerted force secretly.

Zhou Jun was able to sit steadily with the support of the quilt behind him and by holding on to the edge of the bed with both hands. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that he was struggling.

But after being pushed so hard by Old Man Zhou, his balance was immediately broken, and he fell to one side uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the Zhou brothers were right there and supported Zhou Jun in time.

Zhou Hu immediately understood his father's intention. He was testing the third brother!

Although Zhou Fu couldn't think so much, his subconscious reaction was, "The third brother is very weak."

There was nothing that Zhou Xiaoxi didn't understand as she was so perceptive. It looked like her grandfather was going to act again!

Old man Zhou spoke with a sad face:

"My poor little child, you have such a miserable life! Dad thought you were almost recovered, but I didn't expect you to be so weak."

Then he looked at Li hatefully.

"Mrs. Li, how can you be so tactless! The third son is so weak, and instead of taking good care of him at home, you even called the whole family to torture him. If anything happens to my son, I will never forgive you!"

It turned out to be more shameless than I imagined.

It seems that the old man is in good health and doesn't get sick easily!

So Zhou Xiaoxi responded decisively,

"Grandfather, you tend to forget things when you get old. Aren't you anxious to see my father? Did I misunderstand you? Do you not want to see my father at all?"

"As for why my father fell, wasn't it you who pushed him? So many eyes saw it. Besides, my father is not incompetent, just let him explain it clearly. Why do you always embarrass my mother, a woman?"

Zhou Jun on the side had a bitter look on his face.

"Dad, my body... is indeed still weak. You... don't have to push so hard... I will fall down. It was only... to prevent you from worrying that I, reluctantly, sat up... to meet you all."

Old man Zhou, his sons and his two sons only thought that Zhou Jun was weak, which caused him to speak incoherently. It can be seen that Zhou Jun concealed it very well.

After a pause, he continued:

"If you still regard me as... your son, and don't despise me... because I am temporarily useless, then you can help... them three more. I, Zhou Jun, will definitely pay you back in the future."

Li cried silently on the side. She really didn't want to see the hypocrisy of these three people.

Without giving Old Man Zhou and his two sons a chance to act again, he directly stated the purpose of today.

"Father, today we would like to ask you to help arrange for our eldest or second brother to stay home to look after Zhou Jun. Our family is already broke, and Xiaoxi and I plan to go to the city tomorrow to pawn some things and exchange the money for silver so that we can buy some ginseng whiskers for Zhou Jun and some food."

"Xiaoxi has to take the herbs she collected a few days ago to the doctor at Huichun Hall to see if they can be used. Only the sisters know about this, so Xiaoxi has to go in person."

When Old Man Zhou heard that he didn't have to pay any money, he immediately felt relieved.

It's just ordering the eldest and second brothers around, and it won't cost them anything, so he readily agreed.

He also promised to let the eldest brother take care of it first this time, and if there is any problem next time, he will directly use the second brother.

After making an appointment with Zhou Fu for tomorrow, they went their separate ways.

Zhou Hu returned home and told his wife what happened at his third brother's house and asked her to analyze it.

"Do you think my third brother can recover? Seeing him like that today, it seems like he will never be able to stand up again. If that's the case, won't he be a burden to our Zhou family in the future?"

Wang also agreed with her husband's opinion.

"Even though I was just watching from afar at their house, I felt that my uncle was just trying to hold on. He clearly had a brain injury, and I don't know why his legs and feet are not as agile as before. It would be better if he just died and had no more worries!"

After saying this, he glanced at Zhou Hu and found that he was not angry, so he spoke even bolder.

"In my opinion, this third brother is very evil. He might be possessed by something unclean, just as I guessed at the beginning. Who knows where the ghost that woke up might be from!"

Zhou Hu quickly covered Wang's mouth.

"You damn bitch, do you think your life is too long? If you hadn't been so thick-skinned and spread nonsense everywhere, would the villagers have spread the rumor like that?" After saying that, he was still not satisfied and slapped Wang hard in the face.

"You damn bitch, I'm warning you for the last time. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll divorce you and send you back to your parents' home. Then I'll see if your parents can tear your stinky mouth apart!"
