When it was time for lunch, Mingyue did not go out to eat. Instead, Liu Hui packed the food and brought it into the house.
Liu Hui placed the food on the dressing table for her daughter. She looked a little excited and said excitedly, "I just secretly watched for a while. Your second sister-in-law really touches her belly all the time and doesn't eat as much as before. Also, she didn't eat spicy food before and loved sweet things. But today, she didn't even taste the sweet and sour poached eggs on the table. Instead, she took several chopsticks of green peppers. It must be that the baby in her stomach is picky!"
Before Mingyue could respond, she continued, "Sour boy, spicy girl, your second sister-in-law is probably pregnant with a girl. But it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, our family doesn't care about that. Your second brother and sister-in-law have been looking forward to this baby, but they have been looking forward to it for too long, and finally the goddess Guanyin has opened her eyes."
"It seems I have to find a time to ask your second sister-in-law to go and burn incense for the goddess Guanyin. By the way, let your eldest sister-in-law go with you to worship. Your eldest sister-in-law is also feeling very sad. She has heard a lot of gossip from outsiders over the years..."
Liu Hui talked on and on. She had no idea what to think and just talked about whatever came to her mind.
Mingyue knew that the eldest and second Zhou brothers had not given birth to babies, and that Old Man Zhou and Liu Hui were under a lot of pressure. Liu Hui had been looking forward to having a grandchild for a long time, and now she just wanted to find someone to talk to.
So Mingyue didn't interrupt her, but just ate and occasionally agreed with her.
However, Liu Hui guessed wrong about one thing: Zhou Ersao was pregnant with two babies.
In the original owner's previous life, Zhou Ersao's belly suddenly grew bigger, and then her family realized that she was pregnant. They quickly took her to get a check-up, and found out that she was pregnant with twins. This made the Zhou family very happy, and they wanted to worship Zhou Ersao, for fear that she would get hurt.
At that time, the five children of the He family had been living with the original owner in the Zhou family for more than two months. Because the original owner's miscarriage was classified as an accident, the Zhou family felt sorry for the five children of the He family. In addition, the Zhou family had no children, so the Zhou family treated them as their own children and gave them whatever they wanted.
But since they knew that Zhou Ersao was pregnant, the atmosphere in the Zhou family changed. Family members always paid more attention to Zhou Ersao's mood and the reaction of the baby in her belly. The whole family revolved around Zhou Ersao.
In fact, this is understandable. Zhou Ersao has been looking forward to having a child for so many years, and the Zhou family has been waiting for this child for so many years. The child is finally here, and they are rare twins. Shouldn’t the family be more nervous and concerned!
But the five young children of the He family felt disappointed. They were dissatisfied with the reaction of the Zhou family, dissatisfied that they were no longer the center of attention, and dissatisfied that the baby in Zhou Ersao's belly had taken away their love. Then they planned a drama to make Zhou Ersao have a miscarriage.
After all, they were the biggest beneficiaries when Zhou Mingyue had a miscarriage. Having tasted the sweetness, they are now just repeating the same old tricks!
However, they never expected that Zhou Ersao would die, leaving three lives behind.
Seeing the blood-stained soybeans on the ground almost made Zhou Erming go crazy.
He Dadong and his men were very crude in their work, with no means of concealment, and the truth soon came to light before the Zhou family, in an act so cruel that it terrified them.
Five half-grown children wanted to kill the baby in Zhou Ersao's belly just because they were jealous of the attention Zhou Ersao received at home. How horrible!
Zhou Erming immediately took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen and wanted to kill the five little beasts. Old man Zhou's eyes turned red, but he didn't say a word to stop his second son.
But at that time, the original owner stood out and blocked the He family. At that time, she could no longer tell whether she didn't want her second brother to commit a crime, or she didn't want He Dadong and others to get hurt.
Anyway, the final outcome was that the original owner and the He family were driven out of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family said they would never have anything to do with her again. This time, even her parents who loved her the most did not stand by her side. Facts have proved that the original owner was indeed wrong.
The original owner probably really came to his senses, so he wanted to compensate the Zhou family.
Thinking of this, Mingyue put away her wandering thoughts. Now she is still relying on the Zhou family for support, and the road to compensation is long!
At this time, Liu Hui sighed suddenly and suddenly mentioned Zhou Chengming: "Didn't Chengming also have lunch at our house at noon? Speaking of which, he is also quite pitiful! Don't look at him as being lazy all day long, in fact, he has no choice. The wife his father married later was so treacherous, no wonder people say that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather..."
Zhou Chengming's mother died when he was nine years old. Less than two months after his mother passed away, his father welcomed his stepmother into the family, who brought a six-year-old boy with her.
Then, Zhou Chengming's life became difficult. He was asked to do all the housework, and he was not well fed or clothed every day. Although he still lived in the same house, he was a complete outsider, watching the three of them laughing and talking happily.
If it were just like this, it wouldn't be a big deal. At least he grew up safely.
But...
Liu Hui shook her head and said angrily, "Your Uncle Tiegen is so stupid. He took such good care of other people's sons, spent a lot of money to marry that Yang guy, and built a new house. It's bad enough that he owes a lot of debts, but he also let Chengming be dragged down. He didn't even think about the fact that Chengming is three years older than Yang Tao, and he doesn't even have a wife! Once the girls outside find out about how much debt his family owes, who would be willing to marry him? And your Uncle Tiegen has been in debt since the last time..."
Yang Tao is the son brought in by Zhou Chengming's stepmother. He got married the year before last, and the girl is from the town. The girl from the town has high requirements and is very clear about them. She wants a betrothal gift of 360 yuan, a complete set of three turns and one ring, and a new house to live in.
But how could an ordinary rural family afford such a sum? Not to mention that Yang Tao was not Zhou Tiegen's biological son, and he had an unmarried brother, Zhou Chengming!
To be honest, after hearing about this, the people in Zhoujia Village all believed that Yang Tao's marriage was doomed.
Unexpectedly, there really are such stupid people in this world. Zhou Tiegen had to beg for money from everyone and borrowed money from everywhere, finally scraping together the money for his stepson.
Then, the new house was built and the stepson got married, but all of Zhou Tiegen's illnesses from years of overwork suddenly broke out at once. The illness was like a mountain falling on him, and in an instant he couldn't even get out of bed.
When the woman Zhou Tiegen married later heard the news, she immediately said she would go to take care of her son and daughter-in-law, and moved directly into her son's room without even saying a word to bring Zhou Tiegen a meal.
Zhou Chengming had no choice but to hold his nose and take care of his father.
