After the three of them left.

Zhou Liuping took Cheng Jinhao's hand and comforted him:

"Let them sue. At worst, we can give them some pension every month."

"Jin Hao, don't be sad. We are both miserable people. I am better off than you now. I have a grandfather, a grandmother, a father, and a younger brother. You and I are married, and they are your relatives as well."

"Don't say you're a live-in son-in-law. I still have my younger brother Liu Feng! Father won't accept a live-in son-in-law."

"From now on, we will live together."

Everyone was tired, so they quickly went back to the house to rest.

"Cheng Jinhao and I will go back to our new house."

Everyone comforted Cheng Jinhao and went back to their rooms to rest.

More than ten days after the wedding, many people came to ask about the restaurant's prices.

They all thought it was too expensive, shook their heads and left.

Hailong Restaurant has not been in business since Zhou Liuping and Cheng Jinhao got married.

A month later, the restaurant was sold to two bosses from other places at three times the original price.

Zhou Liuping's only business in the county now is the clothing processing factory.

After his honeymoon, Cheng Jinhao will go to the provincial capital to prepare for the opening of the restaurant there.

Zhou Liuping called Hei Niu and asked him what his plans were.

Zhou Heiniu cried.

These days, the restaurant is closed, and he has returned to the factory. He has long felt that Sister Liu Ping and Brother Cheng will soon be out of the county.

He naturally wanted to keep following them, but he didn't know if they were willing to continue to take him in.

Now, Zhou Liuping asked him what he was going to do. He felt that Sister Liuping had no intention of taking him away, so he cried out of grievance.

Zhou Liuping saw Zhou Heiniu crying and didn't answer her question. She just asked directly:

"Hei Niu, your home is in the county town, and your mother is also close to the county town. I would like to ask for your opinion. Do you want to continue to follow me to the provincial capital, or stay and work in the processing plant?"

When Zhou Heiniu heard that Sister Liu Ping was willing to continue to take him with her, he quickly burst into tears and replied:

"Follow...Follow..."

"As long as Sister Liu Ping is willing to take me with her, I will follow Sister Liu Ping forever."

"Okay, then you continue to follow Cheng Jinhao to open a restaurant in the provincial capital."

"Sister Liu Ping, shall we open a restaurant in the provincial capital?"

"Yes, it has been renovated a long time ago. They have almost hired all the staff, and they are just waiting for us to get married so that they can quickly settle down there!"

When Zhou Heiniu heard this, he jumped happily a few times in the room.

"I cried several times in my room, feeling sorry for our restaurant. It was so popular that we closed it and sold it. It turned out that we were going to open a restaurant in the provincial capital!"

"Oh, we don't have that many people, nor that much money. From now on, we will develop in the provincial capital."

Zhou Liuping explained.

Zhou Heiniu thought about the Zhao family and the Cheng family, and nodded sensibly.

"That's right. There are always some shameless people here who want to suck the blood of Sister Liu Ping and Brother Cheng."

"Oh, that's what I mean. Of course there are other reasons, you will know later."

Zhou Heiniu didn't care about anything else. As long as Sister Liu Ping continued to take care of him, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

Zhou Heiniu wanted to tell Cheng Jinhao the good news.

Suddenly he discussed with Zhou Liuping:

"Sister Liu Ping, I might as well just sell my old house. When I have more money in the future, I will buy a building in the provincial capital."

"Don't sell it, wait for it to be demolished!"

"Sister Liu Ping, my dilapidated house is about to be demolished?"

"It will probably take another five or six years. You don't need a house now anyway. You can live in a restaurant in the provincial capital. Save money slowly. When you are 25 or 26 years old, you can consider getting married."

Zhou Heiniu suddenly heard Sister Liu Ping talking about his marriage, and blushed and said:

"I don't plan to marry a wife early. I will wait until I am old enough to marry a wife like Brother Cheng before I marry a wife."

"Silly boy, your brother Cheng is delayed."

After Zhou Liuping sent Zhou Heiniu away, she saw the old woman who cooked for Wu Qingye coming to see her.

"What? No food?"

Zhou Liuping’s first reaction was that there was no food left.

The other party shook his head and said:

"Liu Ping, Wu Qingye has been very clear-headed these past few days. She keeps saying that she misses you and wants to see her son. She has been urging me to come and talk to you. I know you don't like her, so I have been perfunctory. Today she urged me to come and see you again, and even knelt down in front of me. I had no choice but to come and talk to you."

Zhou Liuping nodded to indicate that she understood, and sent the person away.

Zhou Liuping sent someone to take Wu Qingye to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that Wu Qingye didn't have much time left and asked his family to prepare for his funeral as soon as possible.

Zhou Liuping tried every possible way but failed to contact Zhao Chuangen.

Later I learned that Zhao Chuangen's performance troupe went abroad again.

Zhou Liuping went to see Wu Qingye.

For the first time, Zhou Liuping entered the residence that Wu Qingye and Zhao Baoqing had renovated after their divorce.

She looked at the courtyard and found it was well tidy.

There are several kinds of flowers planted in the yard, and they are blooming beautifully.

In the past, the Zhao family raised pigs, sheep, cows, and chickens in their yard, and the whole yard was smelly.

As far as she could remember, she had never planted flowers, because when the sheep and cattle came back, they would be eaten by them if she wasn't careful.

When Wu Qingye heard Zhou Liuping talking to the cook, she knew that Zhou Liuping had really come to see her.

She hurriedly got off the kang and went out to greet him.

"Is Liu Ping back?"

"Get in the house quickly!"

Zhou Liuping glanced at Wu Qingye indifferently, greeted the cook, and walked into the house.

Wu Qingye hurriedly fumbled to pour water for Zhou Liuping.

"Stop busying yourself. What do you want from me?"

Wu Qingye stopped what she was doing and wiped away the tears that had already flowed. She said slowly:

"I may be leaving this world soon, but there are some things I want to tell you."

She raised her hand and slapped herself, lowering her head and said:

"I am not worthy of being a mother, let alone being your mother."

As he spoke, he took out a few letters from under the mattress.

"I wrote to your father in your name and got his reply. I just wanted to see Zhou Chengfu's handwriting and see if he would mention me when he replied to you."

"If he would feel guilty for mentioning me, I would continue to write letters. Naturally, your father would always ask after me every time he wrote back. I wrote to ask for money. Zhao Baoqing knew about this and had read the letter. He thought it was enough to get the money, since it was written in your name anyway."

"I wrote these during this period. I'm sorry. When I think back to many things, I feel that I was not myself at that time. How could I do such a vicious thing?"

"But I know that I did all those things. I was actually sad and regretful before, but later I became numb."

"I have received retribution now, and everyone in the Zhao family has received retribution."

"Liu Ping, I don't have a husband's family now, and my parents' family is the same as if I didn't exist. Please talk to your father and see if you can bury me in the wasteland of Dawo Village after I die."

As Wu Qingye said this, he was about to kneel down to Zhou Liuping.

Zhou Liuping stopped him and said:

"Don't kneel! If you kneel down, I won't agree to anything you ask for."

Wu Qingye stopped kneeling and waited for Zhou Liuping's agreement.

"Eat well and drink water. I will discuss the afterlife with my father and give you an answer tomorrow."

Zhou Liuping talked to her father on the phone, and her father agreed to let Wu Qingye be buried next to the Zhou family's ancestral tomb after his death.

After Wu Qingye received Zhou Liuping's reply, she knew that Zhou Chengfu agreed to bury her in the wasteland next to the Zhou family's ancestral tomb after her death.

She finally felt relieved and died that night.
