Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man

Chapter 41 The Tribulation of Rain

After listening to what Li Cuilan said, He Yuzhu knew that He Daqing was being rude, so he quickly walked to the side of He Daqing's bed and urged him anxiously, "He Daqing, get up quickly, and ask the people in the yard to help you go out and look for rainwater while everyone is still asleep."

He Daqing leaned on the bed, his eyes looking at his nose, and spoke in a cold and slow tone: "Zhu Zi, I don't have the ability to teach Yu Shui. As the old saying goes, 'One failure makes you wiser.' Yu Shui gets lost every other day, and no one can stand such a torment. In my opinion, even if she is found this time, she may get lost again in a few days. The last time we found her, we asked her how she got lost, and she pretended to be stupid. I think Yu Shui is just a deliberate prank. Instead of being tortured by her repeatedly, it is better to let her perish like Yu Shui..."

"He Daqing, hurry up and get up! You act like nothing happened and you don't want to leave it alone. You are not afraid that I will come to find you in the middle of the night, but I am. Get up quickly..." He Yuzhu lifted the quilt covering He Daqing and urged him anxiously.

"Well, you've brought your mother out, so how can I not give her face? We, as living people, cannot cause trouble for a dead person!" He Daqing put on his clothes reluctantly and went to the yard to ask for help.

The whole courtyard was busy again, but unfortunately nothing was found. A few days later, He Yushui got lost twice in a row, and some people in the courtyard were dissatisfied and complained to He Daqing.

"He Daqing, even though you are the head of the courtyard, you can't make things so difficult for everyone! Just tell me, it's only been a few days and your He Yushui keeps getting lost. As a father, you can't take good care of him!"

"Everyone, we're all tired after a long day. It's late at night and we still have to go to work tomorrow. He Daqing, don't call us for your He Yushui's affairs in the future..."

He Daqing listened to some people's complaints, and his old face instantly turned red. He kept saying nice things to everyone, and when everyone left, he went back to the backyard without looking back. He Yuzhu saw that everyone in the yard had dispersed, and turned around and ran to the "Security Management Committee".

A few days later, He Yuzhu went to the "Security Management Committee" again for He Yushui. The relevant person in charge still took it seriously as always. Because they were worried that it was Xiao Tete who did it, they made a phone call to make arrangements on the spot.

He Yushui was lying on Qin Huairu's shoulder before she fell asleep, and when she woke up, she was already in an unfamiliar environment. When she opened her eyes, she saw two people younger than her, staring at her curiously, and she almost screamed in shock.

One of the little girls saw He Yushui wake up and shouted happily: "Brother, sister-in-law is awake, come and see." The little boy next to her grinned at He Yushui.

The young cowherd with a cane walked to the bedside and looked at He Yushui blankly, and said straight to the point: "My name is Zhou Ergou, and you will be my wife in the future. What's your name?"

He Yushui was already in primary school, and she already knew what the word "daughter-in-law" meant. She just couldn't figure out "How did I become this man's daughter-in-law for no reason?"

Zhou Ergou saw He Yushui standing there in a daze without saying anything, so he told the two children beside him, "Gousheng, Gouxian, you two must take good care of your sister-in-law. She is the daughter-in-law that the fairy sister gave me. If she gets lost, I won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law, so I will throw you two into a mass grave."

"Brother Ergou, we will help you look after your wife, so give us some of the cornmeal porridge you have in the evening. If you dare to bully us and make us work for nothing, we will go find our parents." Zhou Gousheng, who was younger than He Yushui, negotiated the terms with Zhou Ergou.

"Okay, I agree. I'll give you a mouthful of porridge each tonight." The lame Zhou Ergou had no choice but to agree to his younger brother and sister.

When He Yushui heard Zhou Ergou mention the Fairy Sister, Qin Huairu's figure appeared in her mind, because in her heart, "in the whole courtyard, her sister Qin is the most beautiful." But she couldn't believe that "Sister Qin, who was so good to her and whom she regarded as a mother, would give her away casually."

Zhou Ergou saw that his young wife was in a daze and thought she was really sick, so he turned around and went out to call his parents. Zhou Gousheng and Zhou Gouzan saw that their brother had left, and they curiously surrounded He Yushui and asked her all kinds of questions.

He Yushui was just carsick, and after she vomited everything in her stomach, she had a nap. After the two children made a noise beside her, she felt better and better except for being very hungry.

When Zhou Ergou brought his parents back home, they saw He Yushui chatting with his younger brothers and sisters in high spirits. When Zhou Ergou's father saw a girl of unknown origin in the house, he thought, "Zhou Ergou said he picked up a dying girl and brought her home, so he asked them to go home and ask them to call a doctor..."

Zhou's family had a total of 6 children, Zhou Ergou was the second child and a disabled person, so he was not well-received. Zhou's father mistakenly thought that his son was teasing them on purpose, and he was immediately furious. He picked up the door bolt and hit Zhou Ergou. Zhou Ergou was hit and ran out with a limp.

Mother Zhou stared at He Yushui with unkind eyes and said impatiently: "Whose child are you? Why did you come to our house for no reason? Go away quickly and don't cause any trouble to our Zhou family."

He Yushui lost her mother when she was young, and was not welcomed by people in the courtyard. When she met outsiders, she was quite inferior. In the past, she dared to yell at people at home, but she didn't even dare to raise her head when she walked out of the He family's gate.

He Yushui didn't understand what was going on. Seeing Zhou's mother's unfriendly attitude, she was immediately scared and trembled, not daring to say a word. Zhou Ergou in the yard anxiously replied to his mother: "Mom, keep her! Look, I'm 14 years old, and I'm going to get married in a few years. Look at me like this, that healthy girl will come to me..."

Poor parents, Zhou Ergou may not please the old couple, but he is her flesh and blood after all. She was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Zhou Ergou, you can keep her. If her parents come and something happens, and they want to eat peanuts, you can go by yourself, don't let our Zhou family get involved. Also, we don't keep idle people in our Zhou family. You have to do the laundry, cooking, and go to cut grass for pigs with Gousheng and Gouzan. Nothing can be left out..."

"Mom, don't worry! I will keep an eye on her." Zhou Ergou happily assured his mother when he saw that his mother had given in.

"Old man, let's go! There's still a lot of work to do in the fields!" Zhou's mother urged Zhou's father to go out. Zhou Ergou saw his parents going to the fields, looked at He Yushui who was in good spirits, and left without saying a word.

In the evening, the setting sun cast its golden afterglow. Zhou Ergou returned to Zhou's house early. As soon as he got home, he urged He Yushui to cook corn porridge. He Yushui blinked her big, kazilan eyes and stared at him without saying a word.

In this village, the adults work in the fields while the children from each household do housework at home. Even Zhou Ergou's two younger brothers and sisters who are younger than He Yushui learned to cook corn porridge early on.

Zhou Ergou has been living in this village. Because he is disabled, he has few opportunities to interact with outsiders. He doesn't know that not every child can cook like Zhou's child. When he saw He Yushui ignored him, he imitated his parents and beat He Yushui. Fortunately, he knew that He Yushui was his future daughter-in-law, so he only beat He Yushui black and blue, but didn't kill her.

Zhou Ergou saw that He Yushui was crying and motionless after being beaten like this. He was worried that his parents would drive away this freeloader daughter-in-law when they came back, so he pulled He Yushui away and let her watch him while he started to make corn porridge himself.

As the sun set and the night fell, the Zhou family returned home one after another. The six children and Zhou's parents just filled up the old eight-immortal table. When Zhou's mother brought the corn paste to the table, the six children rushed to eat it. By the time Zhou's parents finished beating the paste, the bed was already empty.

Zhou Ergou looked at He Yushui who was sitting on the small stool at a loss, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he left a mouthful of porridge in the bowl for He Yushui. When he handed the porridge to He Yushui, He Yushui turned her head away in disgust. Zhou Ergou saw that she was so ungrateful, and drank the porridge in one gulp in anger.

After the Zhou family finished dinner, Zhou's mother asked He Yushui to wash the pots and bowls. Fortunately, He Yushui had done it at home. Although she didn't wash it very clean, she still passed the test. At night, the six brothers and sisters of the Zhou family squeezed on a big earthen kang. He Yushui wanted to be stubborn and not get on the earthen kang, but she was tired and hungry and was beaten by Zhou Ergou. In the end, she bowed her head to reality and squeezed next to Zhou Gousheng and Zhou Gouxian.

The next day, after the Zhou family went out, Zhou Ergou asked He Yushui to wash clothes and do housework, but He Yushui didn't know how to do it! In the courtyard, as long as He Daqing was not around, she dared to bully Li Cuilan, who she thought was an outsider. Li Cuilan also thought that He Yushui was still young, so she basically helped He Yushui secretly.

As expected, He Yushui spent the whole day under Zhou Ergou's beatings. It's not Zhou Ergou's fault that he likes beating people, because there are many children in the Zhou family, and when the children get into trouble, his parents don't say anything nonsense, and their education method is to use fists and feet, so Zhou Ergou followed suit and used it on He Yushui.

He Yuzhu in Sijiu City, seeing that He Yushui had not been found, went to the "Security Management Committee" every day to ask. The staff of the "Security Management Committee" were also puzzled: the notice had clearly been sent out in the system to the villages around Sijiu City, so how come there was no feedback at all?

What they didn't know was that the village where the Zhou family lived had already been checked. The village cadres knew the situation of every family in the village, and knew the Zhou family's difficulties very well. It was not easy to feed a family of eight with the harvest from the Zhou family's land. At that time, the old society had just passed, and the countryside still valued boys over girls. Thinking that the Zhou family would not raise an unrelated girl, they relied on their inherent thinking and did not go to the Zhou family to check immediately.

When the Zhou family was having dinner, He Yushui could not snatch food from the six children and had to go hungry; if he did not do the housework well, he would be beaten and kicked by Zhou Ergou; when he was sleeping at night, he would be pushed off the earthen kang if he was not careful... He Yushui was trained in this way in the Zhou family, and before long, He Yushui no longer looked like a human being.

That day, He Yushui was beaten by Zhou Ergou again because she didn't cut enough grass for the pigs. This time, she didn't resist, but fell straight to the ground...
