Chapter 37 Family Affairs

Taxis do not go into the village, but fortunately, Zhou's family lives not far from the entrance of the village, and Zhou Jiayi walked for about ten minutes before she saw Zhou Jianping's car parked on the side of the road.

There were many people on the street, some were sitting or standing in front of their homes, and some seemed to be standing in front of Zhou's house, and Zhou Jiayi vaguely heard the voice of her mother Li Qiumei.

As soon as Zhou Jiayi approached, the people around her all made way for her, everyone knew that the girl of the Zhou family was famous for her sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and it didn't matter if you were an adult or an elder when she spoke, she could talk back ten words if you said a word, but it was not easy to provoke. Of course, there are also people who give way purely because they want to watch a play.

There was a man sitting on the ground, who looked older than Zhou Jiayi's grandfather, his clothes were covered with dust, and Zhou Jianping was standing on the side, talking to him.

Zhou Jiayi's aunt Zhou Jianfang seemed to be wiping her tears, Li Qiumei was holding her with one hand and her daughter Xu Jingfeng with the other, and frowned in surprise when she saw Zhou Jiayi coming back, "Yiyi, come here." ”

"Yiyi, why are you back?" Zhou Jianping raised his head when he heard this, frowned and asked, obviously not wanting his daughter to know some things at home.

"I'll come back and see what's going on." Zhou Jiayi intuitively felt that this was not a good thing, and the people on the ground were obviously sloppy, so she asked, "Dad, who is this person?" ”

It was this question that hurt the old man sitting on the ground, and he reprimanded him very dissatisfied, "Zhou Jianping, how did your old Zhou family discipline their children, deliberately or what, you will never sue me, your family Yiyi has a bad memory?" ”

Zhou Jiayi supports her forehead, dare to love or do you know? But why couldn't she remember who this man was?

She glanced at the people around her, and when her eyes fell on Zhou Jianfang, she suddenly remembered that this old man was none other than her cousin Xu Jing's grandfather.

Zhou Jiayi vaguely remembers that when she was in the first year of junior high school, Xu Wenjing's father had an accident when he was working on the construction site, and only Grandpa Xu, Zhou Jianfang and Xu Jingjing, who had just entered the first year of high school, were left at home. It is always inconvenient to live like this, and occasionally it will cause some unclean gossip, so Zhou Jianfang moved back to her parents' house with her daughter, and went back regularly every month to change the bedding for the elderly, clean the yard, and buy some things.

Most rural people make a living from farming, Zhou Jianfang has no savings, and after moving back to his parents' house, it is equivalent to cutting off the source of income, and the original construction site lost a lot of money, but Grandpa Xu said that his son's life money should be kept for his granddaughter to go to college, and he was afraid that Zhou Jianfang would take it to remarry, so he refused to give it, and Zhou Jianfang didn't ask for it, because he also had to support his daughter to go to school, so he worked in a glass factory not far from the village.

Every household in the countryside is close to each other, and if there is something going on in a family, especially if there is a disturbance at the door, the whole street will come out to see the excitement, not only to see, but also to discuss. It was these people's discussions that made Zhou Jiayi understand the whole thing.

Zhou Jianfang has been widowed for three years, according to the rural saying, it can be regarded as worthy of her dead husband, some people see that she is diligent and kind, although she has a child, but Xu quietly will go to college after graduating from high school this year, and she will be able to work in a few years, so she has the idea of introducing her to someone.

It's not a matter to always live in her mother's house, although her younger brother and daughter-in-law didn't say anything, but for Zhou Jianfang, the water splashed out by her married daughter, and then she always has a feeling of being under the fence, she does not reject remarriage, and her daughter also supports her, so she met a few times under the introduction of the people in the village.

This matter somehow reached Grandpa Xu's ears, and he felt that Zhou Jianfang took his daughter to remarry, and no one gave him a pension, so he ran to Zhou's house to make trouble.

Zhou Jiayi studied in high school in Meizhen in her last life, and there was no summer vacation yet, and the family had a heart to hide it, so naturally she didn't know that there was such a thing, but she remembered that until she was reborn, her aunt did not remarry, and after her cousin was admitted to a university in Pinyang City, she went there to work with her, because she had no education and was old, she could only do work like nanny and cleaning, which was very hard, probably because of overwork, and later had a few serious illnesses.

My aunt is a good person, when Li Qiumei was sick and hospitalized in her previous life, she obviously didn't have any money, but she still took out all the money she had saved and took care of it in the hospital herself. With this, Zhou Jiayi felt that she had to help her aunt.

"Dad, Mom, aren't you tired after standing at the door for so long? Let's go inside and rest for a while and drink some water. Of course Zhou Jiayi would not face the old man Xu head-on, she smiled, dragged Zhou Jianping who was explaining, and whispered to Xu with a smile, "Sister quietly, when will your college entrance examination scores come out?" ”

After all, it was his grandfather who came to make trouble, he rolled on the ground so disregarding his image, so many people watched, Xu quietly also felt very embarrassed, and was asked by Zhou Jiayi with a smile, but he was relieved and said, "I guess it's only been a few days." ””

Zhou Jianping felt that it was not good to leave people outside, but his daughter held on to herself, so she had to whisper: "Yiyi, you go into the house first, and your mother and I will deal with the things outside." ”

"It's you who listen to me, we don't need to deal with this matter outside." Zhou Jiayi smiled and said to Old Man Xu: "If you really don't have a stool at home, wooden beds, and other things, the open space in front of our house, you can sit and lie down if you want, we will definitely not stop you." ”

"Listen! And there is no royal law anymore! A little girl bullies people like this, and dares to say that it is not taught by adults, do you old Zhou family look at the old man and I am alone and easy to bully, so it is so harmful! Old man Xu's right hand kept hammering on the ground, quite a bit of a crying posture.

"Huh?" Zhou Jiayi was puzzled, "Do you know Wang Fa?" Then I really want to tell you, you said that my aunt wants to support you, that's what no king's law is! Let me tell you, a daughter-in-law has no legal obligation to support the elderly. ”

"You are talking nonsense, what daughter-in-law of ten miles and eight towns dares not to support the elderly!" Old man Xu pointed at Zhou Jianfang, "If she dares to remarry, I will go to court to sue her!" ”

"You go, you'll know if what I'm saying is true or false as soon as you go." Zhou Jiayi smiled, "Do you know that it is illegal to interfere with the freedom of marriage, and with your current behavior, I am really worried about you!" ”

Old man Xu knew that the girl of the Zhou family had a good mouth, but it was the first time that he was really choked and speechless, he stared at Zhou Jiayi angrily with a pair of eyes.

Zhou Jiayi, who was reborn, had already upgraded the number of quarrels from strong words to sentences, and she smiled, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that my aunt and sister quietly have the right to inherit the property left after my uncle's death, how much money did they lose in the first place?" Aren't you all in your own pocket, should we divide the money first, and then talk about maintenance? ”

When Old Man Xu heard this, he didn't dare to look at Zhou Jiayi anymore, got up from the ground, and asked Xu quietly, "Quietly, my good granddaughter, grandpa is all for your good, this has a stepfather, there is a stepmother, grandpa is afraid that you will suffer after your mother remarries!" ”

Xu Wenjing is not a little girl anymore, since her father's death, she has seen too much of people's warmth and coldness, so she said with a very clear attitude: "Grandpa, what kind of life my mother wants to live is her own business, and I will not and cannot interfere." ”

Old man Xu didn't expect his granddaughter to be on his side, so he was so angry that he pointed at Xu quietly and scolded her for being a conscienceless thing!

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back first, our two families haven't been in contact for a few years, so don't talk to relatives at this time." The "exchanges" in the countryside refer to the mutual movement of relatives during the New Year's holidays, and since Zhou Jianfang returned to his parents' house to live, this contact was naturally cut off.

Old man Xu really couldn't think of anything to deal with, so if he didn't think of anything to do, people didn't seem to eat it, so he had to say angrily: "I'll come again!" ”

These words reminded Zhou Jiayi of the classic lines in a hit domestic cartoon a few years later, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the onlookers went home, Zhou Jiayi took her cousin's hand and urged the family to enter the house.

"Yiyi, is it true that you say I don't have to support the elderly?" Zhou Jianfang saves money every month, and in addition to giving his daughter living expenses, he also has to give some money to Old Man Xu.

"What I said is true." Zhou Jiayi said seriously: "You don't believe it, let Sister Quiet check it on the Internet, not only you, but also Sister Quiet, her grandfather did not fulfill his obligation to support Sister Quiet, and Sister Quiet doesn't have to support him, the inheritance issue I just said, if you really go to the court to sue him, you will definitely win the lawsuit." ”

"You don't have to go to court." After all, Zhou Jianfang is a native of the countryside, "I don't want the money, I just hope that he won't come again, and he has quietly finished the college entrance examination, otherwise it will affect the child more!" ”

"I'm not afraid of him coming, I'm just worried, if you get married again, he will go to someone's house to make trouble." Li Qiumei said with a frown.

Zhou Jianfang thought about it, "I'm not in a hurry to get married, and there is no suitable person now, I think that after quietly applying for the volunteer and getting the admission letter of the school, I will follow her to work in Pinyang, the university is not as good as high school, and the tuition fee for a year is a lot of money, so I have to save it quietly." ”

The family did not disagree with her idea, and Li Qiumei also asked Xu Jingjing which schools she had applied for, saying that she could let Zhou Jianping send their mother and daughter to when school started.

Since her aunt's idea of remarrying is not so firm, Zhou Jiayi has a new idea, but she still has to discuss it with Lulu.

"Ask your aunt to help cook?" Lu Junyuan mentioned to Zhou Jiayi before that if the two of them go to school at the High School Affiliated to Qinda University, they will inevitably rent a house near the school to live, and they may have to ask an aunt to cook at that time, originally he planned to hire a part-time worker, after all, he doesn't like to live with strangers, but after hearing this, he thought about it carefully, "It's not impossible, I'll rent a house for her to live in nearby when the time comes." ”

Zhou Jiayi guessed Lu Junyuan's thoughts in hindsight, and said a little apologetically: "I didn't think it through, I haven't told my aunt about it yet, you don't have to be too reluctant, if you think it's not suitable, forget it." ”

If it was put on someone else, Lu Junyuan would definitely refuse in one bite, but since he agreed after thinking about it, he must have his own reasons, "Fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, besides, I'm a capitalist, not only will I have to work hard for your aunt to cook for us, but she will also be responsible for the company's employee food, and it will not be a loss to help rent a house." "What's more, there is an elder to follow, so Zhou's father and Zhou's mother can rest assured that Congee Congee will go to school in Pinyang with him.

Lu Junyuan's abacus clanged, and sure enough, after his final exam, Zhou Jianping and Li Qiumei did not object to him and Zhou Jiayi going to Pinyang.
