Later, seeing that the He family was so poor, the Zhou family gradually added two new quilts and pillows, a wooden cabinet full of grain, a large pearwood round table, matching stools, and so on.
It can be said that most of the furniture and household items currently placed in the He family’s house were added later by the Zhou family.
However, Mingyue had no intention of letting the He family continue to take advantage of them. Even if those things were old, broken and damaged, she would take them all back.
"Okay, your third and fourth brothers are coming back tomorrow, I'll ask them to move as well." Old man Zhou agreed without hesitation. He felt depressed whenever he thought about the heartless guys in the He family who used his family's things and treated his youngest daughter harshly.
He would rather throw those things away for nothing or chop them up for firewood than leave them to those little beasts.
Mingyue thought for a moment and then said, "I still have to thank Aunt Zheng. If it weren't for her and Uncle Liu, I would have gone there yesterday."
Mingyue will find a way to repay Aunt Zheng's family in the future. She brings this up now just to let the villagers of Dagou Village know that the Zhou family knows how to be grateful.
When Old Man Zhou thought of his daughter's helpless appearance, he felt a blockage in his heart, but he only said: "Dad knows, don't worry!"
Liu Hui touched her youngest daughter's slender wrist and quietly changed the subject: "Your hands are not smooth anymore. When your third sister-in-law came back last time, I heard her say that girls in the city use some kind of vanishing cream. It smells so good and smooth when applied on the body. I'll ask your third brother to send you two bottles to use. We can restore our hands."
Mingyue smiled and said yes. Liu Hui pinched her face again and said, "There is no flesh on your face anymore. It hurts your hands. We must replenish it when we go back. Girls look better when they are rounder and fuller."
Nowadays, a girl with a chubby figure is considered blessed, and is proof that her family lives a good life.
Mingyue nodded again and agreed. Although she didn't plan to stay in the Zhou family forever, there was no need to spoil the fun by saying it out loud at this critical moment.
"Your third brother is very successful now..." Liu Hui let Mingyue drink the chicken soup, and then talked about the third and fourth brothers of the Zhou family, chattering about their work in the factory.
Mingyue lowered her head and drank the soup, occasionally responding with a smile.
Watching his wife and daughter chatting and laughing, Old Man Zhou's frown unconsciously relaxed and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Later, as it was getting dark, Old Man Zhou was reluctant to spend money on accommodation outside, so he went home in the dark. Liu Hui stayed behind to watch the bright moon that night.
Liu Hui woke up suddenly several times during the night. She crawled up in the dark to tuck in Mingyue, and sighed while touching Mingyue's face.
Mingyue was awakened several times by her actions and couldn't help sighing in her heart. The original owner did have parents who truly loved her.
But Mingyue just pretended to be asleep and did not let Liu Hui notice that she was awake.
The next morning.
The sky had just brightened, and the mist lingering in the air had not yet dissipated, covering everything with a hazy veil.
At this time, Old Man Zhou was already rushing to the clinic in the dew, carrying a large backpack.
He brought some food to Liu Hui and Mingyue, chatted with the mother and daughter for a while, then asked the doctor about Mingyue's condition, and then left in a hurry.
Today, the third and fourth sons of the Zhou family have to ask for leave to come back. The earlier you go to the market, the fresher and better the things are. Old man Zhou is holding the grain and meat coupons in his hand and is in a hurry to go to the market to buy vegetables and meat.
It was a pity that Mingyue could only eat liquid food now and had to stay in the hospital for a few more days before she could go back. She would definitely miss the family reunion. And there should be a lot of excitement at the He family, which she probably wouldn't be able to see.
But there is still a long time to come, so Mingyue is not in a hurry. The most important thing for her now is to keep her body healthy.
The road must be taken step by step.
Zhoujia Village.
When Old Man Zhou came back from buying groceries, Zhou Sanming and Zhou Siming had already been home for a while. They also learned from their two sisters-in-law the whole story of how their younger sister married into the He family and the sufferings that their younger sister had endured over the years.
The relationship between the Zhou brothers and sisters has always been very good. After hearing all these things, Zhou Laosan and Zhou Laosi were almost angry to death.
Zhou Laosi immediately took a sickle from the main room and went out angrily to settle the score with the He family.
Not only did Zhou Laosan not stop his brother, he also grabbed a hoe and followed him behind the door.
Mrs. Zhou Dasao and Mrs. Zhou Ersao were scared to death by the behavior of the two brothers. Also, because the eldest and second eldest brothers listened to old man Zhou and went to Dagou Village early in the morning to move their younger sister's dowry, there was no one in the family who could stop the two brothers. They were really worried to death.
Mrs. Zhou stood in front of the two brothers, waving her hands anxiously, and urged loudly: "Third and fourth brothers, put your things down. My little sister is still fine now. We don't need to commit crimes for those little beasts."
These are special times and special measures are taken. In order to rectify the social atmosphere, the authorities have made a decision to crack down severely on criminal offenses. Once a crime is committed, the sentence will be very severe. This is no joke.
Zhou Ersao's stomach started to ache again when she got anxious, but she thought she had eaten something bad and didn't care. She just stopped and persuaded them, "Yes, Third and Fourth Brothers, it was the He family who wronged our little sister. Our Zhou family is in the right, so it's reasonable for us to ignore those little beasts in the future. If you hurt those little beasts, won't it give them another excuse to rely on our family?"
But Zhou Laosan and Zhou Laosi would never listen to all this. Their little sister was such a good girl, and yet she was schemed against by the dirty He family. If they, as her brothers, don't seek justice for her, then what kind of brothers are they
"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, please move aside. The fourth brother and I know what's going on." Zhou Laosan's face, which always smiled at everyone, now looked gloomy and a little scary.
Zhou Laosi was a straightforward person and spoke the truth: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. If we don't kill those bastards, we will give them a good beating to avenge my younger sister and my dead nephews and nieces."
The brothers are not fools. Of course they know that they cannot kill people, but beating someone up is acceptable.
After all, considering what the He family did, it is understandable that they were a little cruel. Would the people in Dagou Village really report them
Although public security is strict now, the village has always been a country where officials will not investigate unless the people report it. As long as no one in Dagou Village reports it to the higher authorities, then this matter will be nothing.
Mrs. Zhou came to her senses and felt relieved immediately. She was frightened by the scene of hoes and sickles and her thoughts went astray for a moment.
She stepped aside and reminded them, "Put down your sickles and hoes, or someone will stop you even when you get to Dagou Village."
Zhou Ersao secretly rubbed her belly and nodded in agreement: "Don't be too harsh, or you will be stuck with that family of scabby dogs and can't get rid of them."
Zhou Laosan and Laosi naturally agreed, and then the two brothers hurried out and bumped into Old Man Zhou who was returning home at the door.
