On the second day, Madam Liu took the initiative to tell Family Head Zhou that she would leave the little girl and the Madam Su to stay at home often. Furthermore, for the sake of the Zhou Clan's face, it could be said that Zhou Sanlang had a filial piety. This was still much better than making those people think that Zhou Tianyi's family members could not tolerate his birth and that they had replaced him.
Although Madam Liu's words were harsh, she could not do anything about it. Other than Zhou Sanlang, the other great glory of the Zhou Clan was the chastity memorial archway of the Madam Liu. He couldn't afford to offend these two, nor could he afford to offend them. Furthermore, Madam Liu was saying all sorts of things for the sake of the Zhou Clan. Naturally she agreed.
Madam Liu also said that according to her previous thoughts. If Zhou Sanlang came back, he felt that he wouldn't want this useless wife, and he didn't want this direct daughter either. He might as well pass it to her. As an old woman, she was still able to support the mother and daughter pair.
As for this matter, Family Head Zhou could not make the decision. Zhou Sanlang's wife and children, even if he was the Patriarch, he couldn't act without thinking. However, in order to avoid trouble in the future, this was the best solution. As a result, he gained a bit more respect for the Madam Liu who helped him solve all his problems.
With the patriarch's respectful attitude towards Madam Liu, the other Zhou Family clansmen all knew who was right and wrong. It was true that Zhou Sanlang was a High Scholar. They did not dare offend him, but they knew that with Zhou Tian's family's influence, if they could treat their wife that they had requested for, what did they count as? How could he possibly want them if there were benefits? When it came to being good to others in the clan, the Madam Liu was much stronger than them. Everyone knew who they were on.
We have a plan on where the mother and daughter will live." Madam Wang still had to continue punishing Old Lady Zhang. Ever since the day Old Zhang had woken up, Madam Wang had been washing clothes and grinding rice for the elderly in the clan. Although it was hard to say, those old people would not make things difficult for her. At most, it was just a few nagging words from a few grandma and sister-in-law, such as' being a woman's sister-in-law, a daughter-in-law, 'or' an aunt ', that couldn't be so mean. How could they be so cruel to their sister-in-law and niece?
In comparison, life in Chow Dalang was even more difficult. Zhou Tian didn't plan to help them this time. He paid for the medicine for the girl last time. This time, Madam Wang actually knocked the outsider unconscious. Whether it was pushed or not, it was her doing. This matter would require Chow Dalang to pay for it himself. If not for Madam Wang's mother who was even more unreasonable and a rogue brother, Zhou Tian would have wanted to bring his son to the Wang family to ask for money.
Chow Dalang worked as a farmer for half a year, and for the rest of the year, even the coldest month was during the new year to rest. The rest of the time he had to do odd jobs in the city. Although Zhou Tian had control over all the money in the land, he would still leave it for Zhou Sanlang to read and rush the exams later. However, Chow Dalang still had the heart to keep the money for himself. This time, the Zhang Clan had asked for a full five taels of silver. It could be said that he had asked his grandfather for permission from his grandmother, and after borrowing a circle, he had finally borrowed one tael of silver.
Even though Zhou Tian beat his eldest son up for this. But if they gave it to him, they wouldn't be able to come back. Zhou Tian and had always doted on their younger son, and now, their eldest son's nose was even more so than his face.
Not only that, the Chow Dalang was also responsible for the Zhang Family's firewood and water vat for the next half year. As a result, there was less time for odd jobs. This was increasing poverty. In his heart, he naturally hated his wife. Of course, he did not forget about the Madam Su and his mother. Originally, he had thought that having a sister-in-law like her was rather pretty. But now, he also felt disgust towards her.
The end of the year came in the blink of an eye.
Half a year ago, under the nourishment of the Spirit Spring, Su Xinyu did not leave any bruises on her wounds. With the meticulous care of Madam Liu and Madam Su, her face became a lot more round. Of course, the Spirit Spring s and the food in the space were the most basic ones. But Su Xinyu knew that at least, the Madam Liu had given him all the delicious food at home. Different from her own mother being in the Madam Su, the Madam Liu could be said to have no blood relationship with her, so this position was even more precious.
Su Xinyu was not someone who liked to stay at home. She had been here for a long time, and had come to understand the constraints that this era placed on women. Although in the countryside, there weren't that many rules. But since the age of nine or ten, girls can't always run outside. She had to learn how to make a woman red at home, how to cook, and how to learn from three to four virtues. In short, she would only have three to four years left to run all over the mountain. She had to get a better look at the scenery in this short period of time. Going up the mountain had become one of her favorites.
One of the main reasons why she liked to go up the mountain was because the mountain was very rich. Eat on the mountain, the villagers will also pick up the mountain at the season. Furthermore, every village had hunters. Therefore, even though she was young, the lass boys around her age would often gather firewood, dig up wild vegetables, and pluck wild fruits together on the mountain. However, Su Xinyu would usually act alone sometimes, so she wanted to use the means of "wild animals" to give some of the ingredients in the spatial space for Seventh Grandmother and Mother to eat. Using Spirit Spring s to water the food was something that the people around them did not have.
There were more than a dozen children that went up the mountain with Su Xinyu early in the morning. The largest eleven or twelve, the smallest was Su Xinyu. Although Su Xinyu was the youngest and also a little girl. But all the children in the village liked her. With an adult's intelligence and the legendary "natural culinary skills" that was passed down in the Madam Liu, the small snacks that she brought out had long captured all of these children's mouths. Not to mention that there was also the Tian Gouzi who was protecting her and taking care of her.
"Brother Gouzi, I'll give you half of these pine nuts. "It's delicious." Su Xinyu was grateful to the Tian Clan. She always remembered that on the first day she crossed over to this world, the Gou Zi had helped him. Therefore, if there was anything good to eat, she definitely wouldn't forget the Tian Clan members.
Dogman grinned and said, "Go ahead and eat. Just eat the delicious food. "
"Seeing Dogman blushing, the bald boys on the sides started to heckle him." Oh, oh, oh! "Dogman is blushing ~ ~ Doggie misses his wife ~ ~"
The children here, even though they were only six or seven years old, already knew many things. Gou Zi was so angry that he chased after those rascals and started beating them up. It made the adults in the village want to laugh when they saw them.
Of course, Su Xinyu would not take these things seriously. After all, she was already over twenty years old, how could she be interested in a child this young?
Just then, someone ran towards Su Xinyu. Little girl, your father sent you a letter in the capital. The Village Chief wants you to hurry over! "
