Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Zhou Jun thought he had seen through Zhao's character. His mother-in-law was selfish and strong-willed. If he continued to argue, it would only end up alienating the couple.

After all, Xiaoxi was not their biological child, and there would always be a layer of separation. She was too wild, and she might abandon them if she got a chance one day in the future. She was untrustworthy.

After repeated consideration, Zhou Jun made a decision in his heart.

He really had to go back to Huaihua Village. He was almost recovered now, and his father would be very happy to see him, so the land and house would be returned to him.

As the saying goes, a house of gold or silver is not as good as a thatched house of one's own. Huaihua Village is where he was born and raised, and it is his roots.

As soon as he had taken care of Huaihua Village, he would immediately bring his wife and daughter over. How could Xiaonan, a girl, show up in public all day long? A woman should stay at home and take care of her husband and children.

As for that girl Xiaoxi, if she doesn't want to, let her do what she wants.

He and Li are still young. If they work hard, they can at least have another child. Having a son will make their life complete!

After collecting his thoughts, Zhou Jun's tone became much calmer. He looked at Zhou Erniu and patiently persuaded her:

"Don't be afraid, Erniu. Your uncle will take care of everything. I won't leave you out here alone. Go wash your face and pack up. We'll be back soon!"

Tuesday girl asked timidly:

"Uncle San, how are we going to get back? If we walk, we won't be able to get home before dark."

Zhou Jun's eyebrows relaxed.

"What's so difficult about this? Isn't your Grandpa Liu here? Can't we just ask him to use the donkey cart?"

Zhao rolled her eyes, it was so funny. She wanted to see if Old Man Liu would agree!

……

Of course Old Man Liu ignored it!

Zhou Fu had compensated him with thirty taels of silver. Although the donkey was found, he and his family's donkey had suffered so much that the money would definitely not be returned!

But is Huaihua Village a reasonable place? Pah!

"You don't have to say anything! Zhou Jun, I find you really funny. Why should everyone accommodate you? I just don't want to, old man. Why are you nagging here? If you want to leave, leave quickly. I have to clean up the house!"

Old man Liu found an abandoned house at the foot of the mountain at the west end of the village, planning to settle down there.

When Li Shoucai saw that Old Man Liu had two donkeys, he thought that a lot of work in Dali Village would depend on him in the future, so he wished that he could settle down here.

So they only collected two taels of silver from Old Man Liu as a fee for the land, and the land deed had already been written to him without any delay for a single day.

Old Man Liu was cleaning the house with great enthusiasm when Zhou Jun came over with Erniu.

He hadn't heard about Zhou Erniu's ridiculous behavior, otherwise he would have chased her out with a broom.

Zhou Jun never expected that Old Man Liu would refuse to send them off!

He suppressed his anger again and patiently advised:

"Uncle Liu, I won't let you go to Huaihua Village for nothing. Just tell me how much you want to pay, and I'll double it, how about that?"

Old man Liu stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhou Jun with a half-smile.

"You are very generous. This money was earned by your wife and daughter, right? You don't feel bad if it's not earned by you. Back then, your two daughters braved the wind and sun to go to the mountains to collect herbs for you, just to save some money. I never saw your good niece help them!"

Zhou Erniu didn't expect that the conversation would bring her back to herself. She looked at Old Man Liu with some grievance.

"Grandpa Liu, it's not that I don't want to help Xiaoxi and Xiaonan. But at that time, they were nowhere to be seen all day, and I had no way to help them!"

Humph, full of lies! Who in the village doesn't know that the two sisters spend all day in the mountains collecting herbs?

He was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them and continued to pick up a table leg to repair it.

Zhou Jun and Erniu looked at each other, both feeling very depressed.

Why is this old man Liu so stubborn?

In desperation, the two had to leave Dali Village on foot.

Zhou Jun also thought about it. At worst, he could go to the city to ask Xiaonan for help. She was his own daughter, much more filial than Xiaoxi!

……

These two days Zhou Xiaoxi has always felt that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't remember what it was.

Just as she was crocheting a rabbit with everyone, she suddenly raised her head!

Li was shocked and kept stroking her chest with her hand.

"Xiaoxi, what happened to you? You scared me so much that my heart almost jumped out of my chest!"

Zhou Xiaoxi smiled apologetically.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll be out for a while."

After saying this, without waiting for Li to say anything, he immediately put down the half-hooked rabbit ears in his hand and trotted out of the house.

Li chuckled and shook her head, but a woman next to her had an enviable look on her face.

"Sister Li, your Xiaoxi is such a good girl. I wonder what kind of man will be worthy of her in the future!"

Li Lanxiang couldn't help but interrupt.

"If you ask me, Sister Xiaomei, you must not worry. Xiaoxi will definitely be a very lucky person in the future. Maybe one day she will be able to take you out of Dali Village, or even to Shancang County!"

Li was stunned. She had never thought about this before.

"I am a country woman with little experience, and I have never thought so far. I just hope that our Xiaoxi can live a comfortable life in the future and not suffer so much."

Speaking of this, I was suddenly touched and almost cried.

"Our little girl Xiaoxi was like this rabbit when she was little, with bright eyes and white skin. She has suffered so much following me in the countryside over the years. Especially after her father got sick, she was exposed to the wind and sun on the mountain all day, and her little face was sunburned. If she could be well taken care of, I wonder how beautiful she would be."

Li Lanxiang quickly comforted him softly.

"Sister Xiaomei, don't be sad. Your life is getting better and better. Xiaoxi won't have to work so hard in the future. By then, you can raise her back if you put in a little more effort. After all, she is still young."

Li felt even more sad after hearing this. The man in her family who didn't live up to her expectations was just a fool! After more than half a year, she finally recovered and thought she could count on him to help the family.

But he was afraid that others would think he was incompetent, so he was always in a bad mood. He had to make the whole family unhappy instead of enjoying a good life. He must be mentally ill!

Zhou Xiaoxi was running as fast as he could towards Old Man Liu, but happened to meet Li Shoucai halfway.

"Grandpa, where are you going?"

Because she was so anxious, her voice unconsciously became a little higher.

She was breathing heavily and her face was red, which Li Shoucai found a little funny.

"Xiaoxi girl, why are you in such a hurry? I came to talk to Brother Liu about pruning the pear trees. It was you who told me that he was good at this! God really helped me. He stayed here directly with us, hahahaha!"

Zhou Xiaoxi wanted to cry but had no tears. She had just wanted to find someone who would definitely not show up to tell a lie, but who would have thought that God would deliberately slap her in the face!

Seeing that the lie was about to be exposed, Zhou Xiaoxi had no way to stop it!

She opened her mouth wide, looking at a loss. Li Shoucai, who was standing next to her, could feel her nervousness.

"Xiaoxi girl, could it be that Brother Liu didn't allow you to pass on the things he taught you?"
