After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

Finally, Su Huaili, Zhou Yancheng, Zhou Shimu and Zhou Shiye went to chop wood.

Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shiruo went to look for some grass to cover the roof.

Shi Qingxiao looked at the roofless wall, turned around and said to Zhou Yanshao and others: "Brother and sister-in-law, you have worked hard today. If we are to build the roof, just a few of us will be enough."

In other words, they don't need to come to help tomorrow.

Zhou Yanshao smiled and said: "Brothers and sisters, there is no need to be polite."

Mrs. Li raised her chin slightly and looked at Shi Qingxiao, "Brother and sister, you're welcome."

I will send more good things in the future, but Mrs. Zhou and her husband were watching, and she did not dare to speak too frankly, otherwise she would be thought to be a greedy person.

When Shi Qingxiao saw Li's expression, he smiled and said nothing more.

Chu Xiaorong couldn't bear to stay here longer, so she said goodbye with a smile.

Mrs. Li glanced at her lightly and politely asked her husband to take her mother-in-law home first. She still had some things to do.

Zhou Yanshao didn't think much, held Mrs. Zhou's hand and went home.

Mrs. Zhou glanced at Mrs. Li. She found that the eldest daughter-in-law was looking at the little girl Chu intentionally or unintentionally. She didn't know what she was thinking. She didn't want to interfere too much in the affairs of her daughters-in-law, as long as she didn't offend or hurt her. At home, she wouldn't care what they did.

Zhou Rushan also followed his grandmother home.

Chu Xiaorong was in a good mood, and even the steps under her feet had a pleasant atmosphere. She talked to Brother Zhou's mother today. Aunt Zhou also seemed very kind and had a good attitude towards her. As long as she shows up more, If you do more to please Aunt Zhou, the marriage will be stable.

She will not be angry with her mother-in-law when she marries into the Zhou family.

She seemed to have seen her wonderful life in the future.

Chu Xiaorong thought of Brother Zhou's handsome face and couldn't help but lower her head shyly.

Mrs. Li remembered the route Chu Xiaorong took when she left. There was only one small road here, and she quickly caught up with Chu Xiaorong along this small road.

Her attitude was cold, "Miss Chu."

Chu Xiaorong turned around when she heard the sound and saw that it was Li. Her eyes widened in surprise, "Aunt Zhou, I don't know where you are going? I am very familiar with this place and I can show you the way."

Li's eyes were indifferent, "No, I came to you to tell you something."

Chu Xiaorong's heart pounded instantly. She was so excited that she didn't notice Li's cold eyes. She subconsciously straightened her back and raised her ears.

Mrs. Li was afraid that she was overthinking something and causing embarrassment, so she asked one more question. She was afraid that she would be too tactful and the other party would not understand what she was saying. She said bluntly: "You came back with my son today. You I've known him for a long time, are you interested in him?"

When Chu Xiaorong heard such straightforward words, not only her face but also her ears turned red, but her skin was a bit dark so you couldn't tell.

She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into Mr. Li's eyes, and twisted her clothes unnaturally with her hands.

She never expected that Aunt Zhou would ask her about this in person. After all, she was still an unmarried girl. No matter how courageous she was, she was still very nervous when facing her mother who liked her husband.

Seeing her shy look, what did Mrs. Li not understand?
She was not wrong about it, nor was she wrong about her suspicion. This shameless girl just had evil thoughts about her precious son!

Thinking of this, Ms. Li became very angry. She took several deep breaths to resist slapping Chu Xiaorong. She said calmly: "My son is a well-educated and well-educated man. There have been many girls from other families who have shown interest in my son, but I have never looked down on him."

"Miss Chu, I am not belittling you. I am telling you clearly that the girl my son will marry in the future must be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be able to manage the inner house. She must also be fair, tender and beautiful."

Chu Xiaorong looked at herself, is she worthy?

She is short, ugly and dark. If her little grandson is born with the appearance of Chu Xiaorong, where will she cry?
No one in the Zhou family is ugly, and she herself is very good-looking, so she doesn't allow an ugly girl to enter her house!
Ms. Li felt that these words were said more tactfully. Considering that she was still a girl, she did not say more vicious words. I hope she could understand and then stay away from her son!
She already gave her a lot of face by saying these words to her alone.

The shyness on Chu Xiaorong's face had not faded away when she heard Li's words. Her face instantly turned white again and her body was shaky. She raised her head and looked at Li in disbelief, with a few tears in her eyes. She felt extremely wronged, "Auntie, what did I do not do well enough? I..."

Mrs. Li raised her hand to interrupt her, "You did a very bad job indeed. I have never seen a girl who is so obsequious as you. Since ancient times, parents have made the final decision on marriages. How can you be a single husband like you?" From home?”

"You came over to help. Our family should be grateful to you, but we just didn't do it right."

"Forget it, I'm not your mother, so I won't tell you so much. Even without these things, you can't be the daughter-in-law of my Zhou family."

Mrs. Li dropped a few words and saw Chu Xiaorong's tears welling up crazily. She curled her lips, showing no shame at all for bullying the girl's family.

Fortunately, she discovered it and stopped it in time.

Otherwise, her son will be seduced. He is young and energetic and cannot bear his temper. Who knows whether her son will be moved?
If she was moved and begged to marry Chu Xiaorong, she would really be pissed to death!
It's really useless to just cry here after saying a few words. She still wants to be her granddaughter-in-law of Zhou's parents. It's a beautiful idea.

Her daughter-in-law has to support the family's appearance.

Ms. Li didn't want to talk to Chu Xiaorong anymore, so she turned around and left.

Chu Xiaorong felt extremely uncomfortable. She had thought about many consequences, but she had never thought about this one. Her dream was shattered, and she was punished mercilessly. The other person was the mother of her beloved husband. Who could not be sad?

She covered her cheeks with her hands, not daring to cry, and cried silently. Her throat hurt from crying until the end.

Chu Xiaorong returned home in despair.

When her mother, Mrs. Tao, saw her daughter like this, she rushed over to her in distress, "Rong'er, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Tell your mother, and she will help you get revenge!"

Chu Xiaorong threw herself into her mother's arms but said nothing, crying even more aggrieved.

Mrs. Tao felt so distressed that she had to coax her gently for a long time before she could piece together a complete story from the intermittent words in Chu Xiaorong's mouth.

To put it simply, her daughter fell in love with a husband, who was also interested in her, and then she went to the other party's house to help, but the other party's mother did not agree with the marriage and humiliated her.

Mrs. Tao held her daughter's face and wiped away the tears in distress, "Rong, you shouldn't go to other people's homes alone like this. Others will only look down on you if you cling to her eagerly."

"Listen to me, don't think about it anymore. That husband's mother humiliated you so much. He must be a difficult person to get along with. Even if you really get married, your life will not be easy."

"There is an evil mother-in-law pressing down on your head. Even if you and that husband are in love, they will become enemies in the end. It's not worth it."

Chu Xiaorong cried even more sadly.

It was the first time that she took such initiative, and she got along well with Brother Zhou. Why did she meet such an unreasonable woman?

She was once a lady from an official family, and she also learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was not proficient in it. She could definitely do well in taking care of the inner house if she studied hard, but Aunt Zhou humiliated her because she was dark and ugly.

She can't take it!
Chu Xiaorong felt that the sky above her head was dark, and she was unwilling to accept it.

How could a good person like Brother Zhou have such an unreasonable mother?

Two sisters, Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shiruo, went into the mountains to look for weeds. As soon as they entered the mountains, they saw herbs. Zhou Shitang immediately squatted down to dig. It was very convenient for her to carry a basket on her back when she went out.Then, not long after digging, I heard a familiar voice.

The two of them were stunned at the same time, then quietly moved to look towards the source of the sound. Then they saw Li and Chu Xiaorong, and then heard their conversation.

The two sisters didn't go out either. Miss Chu definitely didn't want others to know about this happening.

After the two left.

Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shiruo looked at each other, as if they had taken a big bite of melon.

Zhou Shitang squatted on the ground, stunned, "Auntie is really not polite at all. She just said that Miss Chu is dark and ugly."

Zhou Shiruo was also shocked, "I knew my eldest aunt was very eloquent, but I didn't expect her to be so...well, to the point, cold and ruthless."

The eldest aunt didn't seem to say anything unpleasant, but she was a bit too straightforward, and the girl's family would definitely not be able to stand it.

Zhou Shitang nodded, "Auntie's eyes are quite sharp. She noticed something fishy in just one day."

She has no objection to Miss Chu, and she will not interfere in her eldest brother's marriage. Those are matters that should be worried about by Ms. Li.

Zhou Shiruo was surprised, "I wouldn't have known that Miss Chu was attracted to my eldest brother if I hadn't said anything. My eyes are too sharp."

Zhou Shitang's thoughts suddenly diverge, he raised his eyes, looked at Zhou Shiruo, and came to the conclusion, "So, sister, don't go to the man's house in the future. Not only will they not be moved, but they will also look down on you."

Zhou Shiruo nodded frantically, "My parents make the final decision on marriage. Of course we can't do anything outrageous. You must also remember this lesson."

Zhou Shitang couldn't help but said: "Sister, if, I mean if, if one day in the future you fall in love with a husband, but your parents don't agree, how will you choose?"

"Okay, you Tangtang, you dare to laugh at me about this kind of thing." Zhou Shiruo slapped Zhou Shitang on the shoulder in embarrassment.

Zhou Shitang turned aside and said, "Be serious, I am serious."

Zhou Shiruo glared at her angrily, "My parents are more accurate than me in judging people. Of course I listen to my parents."

"What about you, how would you choose?" Zhou Shiruo asked.

Zhou Shitang thought about it carefully and said, "I don't know. What if my parents are mistaken? Unless there is evidence."

Zhou Shiruo: "Dad is smart all his life, how can he be confused?"

Zhou Shitang shrugged, "Let's not talk about this anymore. We quickly dug up herbs and continued to look for tall and strong weeds."

The two wandered around, dug up some medicinal materials, and dug up a pile of weeds. They tied them into a big bundle and carried it on their backs, holding a lot with both hands.

The two sisters went to fetch water when they got home. They used a lot of water today and there was no water in the water tank.

Zhou Shiruo turned around and asked, "Are you still taking a medicinal bath today?"

Zhou Shitang shook his head, "I won't take a dip anymore. I'm not too tired. I'll take a dip later when I'm very tired."

Wu Yongwei hadn't come over in the past two days, and she didn't know if he would come again. She only had two ingredients for bathing at home, so she had to save them.

The two came back from fetching water and saw some weeds growing in the vegetable garden, so they pulled them out.

Shi Qingxiao also went out, and she brought back a pile of reeds.

When Zhou Shitang saw the reeds, he jumped over and touched a handful of reeds. They were fluffy and felt good to the touch. "Mom, where did you dig this reed?"

Shi Qingxiao put down the reeds, "I went to a river and there were a lot of them there. I saw these furry ones and dug them back out because they thought they could keep me warm. But it's still very hot now and I can't use them for the time being. They are used to build the roof." It should be possible.”

Zhou Shitang touched his chin and nodded, "Yes, reed roots also have the function of clearing away heat and detoxifying."

Shi Qingxiao was surprised, "Wouldn't it be a waste to use it to build the roof?"

Zhou Shitang: "Isn't there a lot over there? Pull it out after you've used it. This mountain is huge and there are many medicinal materials for clearing away heat and detoxifying, so it's not a waste."

Shi Qingxiao: "You are right, the top priority is to cover the roof first."

Su Huaili took the Zhou family and his son to chop wood, and met Su Bo'an on the way.

The meeting between two rivals who had been bitter enemies for many years was full of excitement and sparks bursting out of their eyes.

Several juniors did not dare to stay with them any longer and fled the horrific scene.

Su Bo'an sneered, "You have been so majestic for so many years, have you ever thought about today's ending?"

Zhou Yancheng is unobtrusive at home, but he is still very calm and indifferent in front of outsiders, especially in front of Su Bo'an.

He smiled slightly, "Of course I've thought about it, so it's not too surprising and I can still live my life."

"Your son's craftsmanship is pretty good." Zhou Yancheng couldn't help but praise him.

Su Bo'an looked proud, "I don't even know whose son it is."

He knew that his son was busy in the Zhou family, but he never thought of stopping him.

When my son grows up, he has his own ideas. He can do whatever he wants. Just don't do bad things and insult his family. He doesn't care about anything else.

Zhou Yancheng looked at Su Bo'an's old face with a complicated expression, "You really don't regret teaching us those martial arts?"

Su Bo'an snorted coldly, "I'm not crazy about teaching you. I won't regret it. I have lived for so long and I have never done anything I regret."

Zhou Yancheng said oh and stopped talking.

Su Bo'an didn't want to talk to Zhou Yancheng and walked away.

there.

Zhou Shiye glanced at the two elders, stretched out his hand and poked Su Huaili's arm, with an expression on his face as if he was watching the fun, but it was not too big a deal, "Do you think they will fight?"

He later learned that the Su family was the one who had a grudge against his father. He wasn't sure what the grudge was, but he often heard his father scold Uncle Su when he was at home.

Su Huaili was not sure, "There shouldn't be a fight, right?"

The fight was a disaster. How could Uncle Zhou's arms and legs beat his father's?

It's still scary when dad gets angry.
