Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Chapter 167 A relative comes to visit

Both thieves were caught, which made people feel relieved.

And with the courtyard wall, people who don't want her to come in, such as matchmakers, can no longer enter their yard at will.

Their yard suddenly became much quieter, and Zheng Qingming and Lixia came back to eat at noon.

But the quiet days had not lasted for two days before someone came to the house again.

The people who came this time were more or less related to their family.

Zheng Xiaoman served tea to the old lady sitting in the house. The old lady glanced at her, and there was no smile on her serious face.

Zheng Xiaoman thought that this old lady's face could probably scare a child to tears.

Ever since the old lady showed up, their little Chun Ya has been hiding behind her and dared not come out.

Children are most sensitive to people's emotions. Chun Ya must have sensed that this old lady was not a good person.

Zhou Chunfeng didn't know what expression to use when facing this old lady who claimed to be her husband's aunt.

It is said that Old Man Zheng’s family was not originally from Wangjia Village. He also fled here with his father to escape famine.

At that time, many people were fleeing famine, and many relatives were separated along the way.

The old lady said that her father and Old Man Zheng’s father were cousins. When her family fled here from famine, they settled down in other places.

But I haven’t seen the other party come to my house for so many years, so why did he suddenly come to recognize me as a relative?

But at this moment, Old Man Zheng had gone to the town to deliver vegetables, so Zhou Chunfeng could only entertain him well for the time being.

We have to wait until he comes back to discuss the matter of recognizing his relatives.

This old lady looked a little older than Old Man Zheng, and her hair was already half white.

Her hair was combed neatly and tied behind her head with a silver hairpin, without a single strand of hair out of place.

The clothes she was wearing looked almost new, without even a patch on them, which showed that her family was well off.

The old lady doesn't look like Old Man Zheng, and her face is very serious.

From the moment she came in till now, I have never seen her smile.

At this time, the old lady was also looking around the Zheng family's house. Although there were nothing valuable in the house, it was still relatively clean.

She took a sip of the tea in the cup. She heard that her eldest nephew's family made a lot of money, but she didn't know whether it was true or not.

After drinking a cup of tea, the old aunt asked, "What is your father doing in town? When will he be back?"

Zhou Chunfeng said, "Dad went to town to deliver something. Judging from the time, he should be back soon."

Old man Zheng leaves home for town at ten o'clock every morning and comes back around eleven o'clock.

It's almost time to go back.

Here, Zheng Dashan waited for Old Man Zheng at the entrance of the village and told his father about the sudden visit of an old lady to his house.

Old Man Zheng frowned and searched his memory to see if there was such a person.

Old Man Zheng's father seemed to have a cousin, but the two families did not interact much.

His cousin was a capable man. When he was young, he did some small business and made some money, so he and his family moved to the city.

Later, my hometown suffered a disaster and everyone started to flee the famine. Many people I knew were eventually separated from me.

He was only a few years old at the time and had no impression of this cousin, let alone the children of his cousin. How could he remember them?

Later they settled in Wangjia Village and never contacted each other again.

But considering his cousin's ability, he shouldn't have a bad time no matter where he goes.

It’s just that this person, with whom I haven’t had any contact for so many years, suddenly came to my door. He definitely wouldn’t believe it if I said there was no reason.

The father and son drove the ox cart home. After entering the house, Old Man Zheng looked at the old lady in front of him.

But he really had no impression of it. Did his uncle have a cousin older than him?

When the old lady saw Old Man Zheng enter the room, she finally showed a smile on her face for the first time since she arrived here.

"You are Xiaofeng, right? I am your cousin Xiuhe, do you still remember me?"

Old man Zheng’s full name is Zheng Qingfeng, and no one has called him Xiaofeng for many years.

When Old Man Zheng heard the name Xiuhe, a vague figure appeared in his mind.

He could no longer remember the other person's appearance, but he vaguely remembered that there was such a cousin who once gave him candy and cakes.

Old Man Zheng couldn't match the old lady in front of him with the blurry figure.

But this person knows his nickname and his cousin's name, so it can't be fake.

He walked to the stool beside the table and sat down, then he said, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for many years."

The old lady's eyes were red. "Yes, it has been many years. Ever since the disaster in my hometown, we have not seen each other for forty years."

Old man Zheng felt somewhat sad, "Is my cousin okay?"

"My father is no longer with us. He was injured when he was fleeing from the famine. After arriving here, his health has not been good. He was sick for more than ten years and then he passed away."

Old Man Zheng nodded. His parents were also injured while fleeing the famine and passed away early.

Her mother miscarried the baby she was pregnant with at the time and was also injured, and she never gave birth again.

The old aunt had already learned from Zhou Chunfeng that Old Man Zheng's parents were no longer around, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Old Man Zheng asked again: "Where did you settle down later, cousin?"

The old lady sighed and said, "We ended up in the town. I didn't know our two families were so close. It was only by chance that I found out that your family ended up in Wangjia Village."

It was just a coincidence that her son-in-law was from the next village.

Recently, Wangjia Village has been making a fuss about collecting poultry and acorns, and all the nearby villages have heard about it.

It didn't take long to find out that the Zheng family was the one behind this matter.

These people had found out everything about the Zheng family's financial situation, and when the old lady's son-in-law brought it up, she asked a few more questions.

I heard that they came here to escape famine, and their names matched the ones she remembered.

The old aunt asked her son-in-law to inquire carefully, and only then did they confirm that the Zheng family was their relatives.

The old lady looked at Old Man Zheng and asked, "I heard that you have two boys in your family? Where is the eldest brother's family?"

Old Man Zheng gets annoyed when he mentions his elder brother's family. "The elder brother's family lives in the village. We and the children have separated and are now living on our own."

The old lady frowned, "Why did you separate the two children? Then who will take care of you?"

Old Man Zheng said: "The child's mother and I are both in good health and can still work in the fields without their care.

When the day comes when we can no longer move, we will come to my second son’s home to live with him.”

Zheng Dashan nodded beside him, "Yes, we will take care of our parents in their old age."

The old aunt frowned even more tightly. With the eldest son still alive, how could she let the young ones take care of her in her old age?

But before he could say anything, Old Man Zheng changed the subject, "Cousin, did you come here by yourself today?"
