CH 52

Zhou Shuren saw that Daqian showed signs of waking up, but after waiting for a while, he didn’t move. His eyes darkened, and he said half-jokingly, “Picked him up to use him as a child foster husband.”

Zhulan almost spit out the water in her mouth. If Zhou Shuren had not traveled through time, there might have been a higher chance of him being ignorant of the situation. But now, there was no way he wouldn’t know. Seeing Zhou Shuren winking at her, Zhulan laughed. Even Daqian, who had just woken up, blushed from embarrassment.

Zhulan blinked, “A nǚxù (1) is half a son, and Tong Yangfu (2) is almost like your own son. Tong Yangfu is good, and you don’t have to worry about your daughter being bullied in the future.”

Daqian’s ears were red, and his whole body was red. He was struggling to open his eyes. He knew the voices, it was the good people from the Zhou family.

It was said in the village that Grandma Zhou was a bad mother-in-law, but he knew it was not. Grandma Zhou was kind-hearted. He didn’t expect Grandma Zhou’s house to save him.

He recalled hearing Xuehan’s words when he fainted, and his heart was warm. She was the most beautiful girl in the village, but he is not worthy of her. Even if Grandpa Zhou said Tong Yangfu, he didn’t take it to heart, he heard the joke, and his heart was gloomy.

He was not stupid, but very smart. He knew that his father was going to sell him. He deliberately took a bath in the cold river. He can support himself. When he becomes a slave, he was not free to live and die. If he really encountered a filthy master, he will be finished.

Zhulan saw that Daqian was calm, and was lying still and motionless.

The original body was too simple. She couldn’t even see through a ten-year-old child. She just thought the child was pitiful and it was hard for him to survive because his parents were not decent. Seeing him so calm and composed was very interesting, no wonder Zhou Shuren took a fancy to the child.

Zhou Shuren smiled and nodded when Zhulan looked at him.

Daqian was still immersed in his own world, he really didn’t want to wake up, and he didn’t want to go back to that house. But he couldn’t cause trouble for the Zhou family, so he opened his eyes numbly, and asked in a surprised and careful voice, “Grandpa Zhou, is it you who rescued me?”

Zhou Shuren nodded inwardly, pretending to believe it, “Your grandma Zhou brought you back.”

Daqian got up in a hurry, “Thank you, Grandma Zhou.”

Zhulan thought to herself that her acting skills were really good, and her expression was perfect, “Lie down quickly, what happened Grandpa Zhou will tell you, and I’ll go prepare dinner.”

But Daqian was too afraid to lie down. He knew too well how unscrupulous his parents could be, and he didn’t want to push away the people who were kind to him. Only the Zhou family had secretly been good to him in recent years. Other people either avoided him or bullied him. He anxiously said, “I want to go home.”

Zhou Shuren pressed his fleshless shoulder, “Your parents have come and said they don’t want you anymore, just lie down!”

Daqian had always been good at disguising himself in order to survive, but at this moment he collapsed, “How is it possible? They don’t want money for selling me?”

Zhulan finally understands why Zhou Datie was looking for Daqian. This was to determine whether he was good to sell or not. This was really a father with a black heart. Feeling sorry for the child, her tone is gentler, “Good boy, don’t think about it for now.”

The smile in Zhou Shuren’s eyes grew even stronger. This child’s illness was intentional. It’s very good that he could be cruel to himself. “Listen to your grandma Zhou and rest first. You don’t need to worry about the rest.”

Daqian was completely stupid, what does it mean not to worry about him? Did he not wake up from the dream? Or is he dead? He pinched himself hard, it really hurts, he wasn’t dreaming, and it turned out to be really a little trance.

When Li shi saw her, she suddenly lit up, “Mother, you’re back. Mother, my grandmother asked me to bring a little hen back for you to stew.”

Zhulan, “…the old lady is too polite.”

She was a little scared. Yesterday, she brought back a lot of things to thank. Why now?

Li shi was very happy, “Mother, should I kill the chicken today?”

Zhulan hesitated and nodded. Seeing Li shi go to the kitchen to get a knife, she walked over and asked, “Why is your grandmother thinking of giving me a hen, what’s the matter?”

Li swiftly dealt with the chicken without any resistance, breaking its neck. She then put the chicken down and appeared hesitant at first, before suddenly adopting a resolute attitude.

Zhulan, “…”

So much groundwork has been laid, she felt afraid.

Li shi’s eyes were red again, “Mother, I just realized that you are the best mother-in-law, I shouldn’t spread gossip around, I shouldn’t scold you at my mother’s house. Even if I think only of my own family, my grandmother said, you won’t blame me. This kind of mother-in-law is almost extinct. Please let me treat you as my own mother from now on.”

Zhulan covered her heart, “…”

This was frustrating. If the original owner was here, she could have become furious at this!
