Chapter 14: Indifference
Zhou Xiaoan fell asleep under Mrs. Wang's muffled curses, and after a long time, he was hit on the head and woke up.
Zhou Xiao'an opened his eyes violently in pain, and nine-year-old Zhou Feng stood on the side of the bed with the math book that was placed next to his pillow, seeing that Zhou Xiao'an woke up, and smashed it with the book.
Zhou Xiaoan blocked the book and pushed her to the bed opposite.
The two beds were only half a meter apart, Zhou Xiaoan didn't use any strength, just pushed her to sit down, but Zhou Feng cried loudly.
Zhou Feng is the eldest daughter of the second brother Zhou Xiaozhu's family, nine years old this year, and the eldest granddaughter of the Zhou family.
Zhou Xiaozhu and Ma Lan married before their eldest brother Zhou Xiaoshui, and their children were half a year older than their eldest daughter Zhou Yan.
Zhou Xiaoan touched his head and felt a little dizzy and stuffy, the gauze on it had not been removed, and there might still be blood stains, this kid was not small, not only was he not afraid of blood, but he also dared to smash it.
As soon as Zhou Feng started crying, Ma Lan immediately rushed in, "Dabao! What's going on?! Who bullied you? ”
Ma Lan gave birth to two daughters, and instead of giving the nickname Dabao and Erbao, Zhou Yan, who manages Zhou Xiaoshuo's family, calls Yan Yatou, and secretly steps on the eldest family.
There were two people in the house, Zhou Xiaoan and Zhou Feng, what Ma Lan meant by asking this was obvious, Zhou Yan hurriedly complained, "She beat me!" Pointing at Zhou Xiao'an's nose, he didn't even call his aunt.
Ma Lan immediately exploded, rushed over at Zhou Xiaoan, and scolded her, "You are a dead star!" After the scourge of the mother-in-law's family, he came back to the mother-in-law's family......"
Zhou Xiaoan didn't bother to pay attention to the mother and daughter, but he couldn't follow them, so he had to put on his shoes and go to the ground and stand next to Zhou Feng, "I have hepatitis, did your mother tell you?" Tell you the truth, did I hit you? If you dare to lie, I'll infect you! ”
Of course, Ma Lan has to say that she dares to say more about chasing wind and shadows, not only to her daughter, but now the entire miscellaneous hospital knows that Zhou Xiaoan has hepatitis.
Zhou Feng was reminded by Zhou Xiao'an, and also remembered about the contagion, and the unevenness and anger just now turned into a cold sweat, and he was so frightened that he crawled down from the other side of the bed, and ran away.
Zhou Xiaoan looked at Ma Lan, Zhou Feng looked at it and let people be gunslingers, she couldn't see such an obvious thing, she couldn't see it, she was really shrewd!
"Dabao didn't go to see the croquettes, why did he remember to come to me in the house?" Today, Xiao Nian, Zhou Yuehai came back again, and the family moved out all the things for the New Year, and several children outside clapped their hands and shouted croquettes, and she heard them in the house.
A person has two taels of oil a month, and four taels of meat tickets often queue up for half a night and can't buy anything, usually I can't see a little oil star at all, and I haven't been back for a few years when there is such a big thing as croquettes at home, Zhou Feng doesn't look around like other children, why do you come to the house?
No one instructed her, could she think of Zhou Xiao'an sleeping in the house at this time?
Ma Lan also came back to his senses a little, glanced at Zhou Xiaoan hatefully, and walked out angrily.
After a while, Zhou Feng's sharp cry and Ma Lan's scolding were heard, followed by a burst of foul language and finger scolding, and after a while, Zhou Yan's cry of being beaten also sounded......
Sister-in-law Zhao Yindi's family is rural, and she has never had a city hukou or a formal job. She is so strong, but she is not qualified to compete with Ma Lan, she is always bullied by her, and she has been holding her breath all these years.
Ma Lan's mouth is poisonous and unforgiving, hooking Zhao Yindi's fire, and catching Zhou Yan is a beating.
Zhou Xiaoan had no interest in the chaos outside, of course she knew who instigated it, but she didn't expect Ma Lan to find it. For so many years, the family has been coaxed by her, and it's not just about pretending to be delicate and pitiful.
Zhou Xiaoan lay back on the bed, looked at the sky and decided to lie down for a while.
She thought about it carefully, if she was the original Zhou Xiaoan, Zhou Feng's matter today would either be stubborn and not speak and let Ma Lan bully, or she would push back hard, making Ma Lan even more angry, and in the end, she would suffer a big loss.
Similar things have happened in the past, and every time Zhou Xiaoling came forward to help her mediate after she was bullied.
But after the mediation, the family's opinions on Zhou Xiaoan have become bigger and bigger, and over the years, Zhou Xiaoan has offended almost everyone in the family in a daze, and only has a better and better relationship with Zhou Xiaoling.
Don't look at Zhou Xiaoan's sullen and stubborn temper, in fact, she is a person who attaches great importance to family affection in her heart.
Therefore, it is better to care for Zhou Xiaoling, a sister who is intimate and protective of her, even more than Zhou Xiaoquan.
The salary can be spent by her, the clothes can be worn by her, she supports her unconditionally in everything, and even willingly married into the Han family in order to recuperate for her.
Zhou Xiaoan's eyes sparkled in the dim room, she couldn't control the things before, in the future, if anyone dares to treat her as a fool, then don't blame her for being polite.
After a while, Zhou Xiaoling walked in with a smile, holding a small bowl in her hand, and there were three fried balls in the bowl, "Second sister, eat it while it's hot!" What I asked for from my aunt, you are not in good health, you have to make up for it. ”
Ma Lan's voice scolding the child came from outside the door, "I'm going to kill you?" Do you want to make a face?! That's for the guests! If the guests haven't eaten yet, you're embarrassed to eat?! There are old and young people in this family, so you are shy and eat and drink for nothing......"
Then Zhou Yan cried and shouted to eat the balls, and finally barely calmed down in Wang Lamei's shouting, but Ma Lan's uneven muttering was still heard from time to time.
Zhou Xiaoling's eyes were shining again, she bit her lip, and smiled reluctantly at Zhou Xiaoan, "Second sister, you can eat." You're hurt, you need to eat something good. It's useless for me, I want to make it up to you and make you wronged......"
Zhou Xiaoan really didn't know what to say, and he didn't bother to say it, so he picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
The meatballs have just been fried, although there are only shredded radish and flour, and there are few seasonings, but the noodles are just right, and the heat is just right, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and it is quite delicious.
Zhou Xiaoan ate the balls seriously, didn't look at Zhou Xiaoling, and after eating the three small balls, when he looked up, his face was already full of tears.
"Second sister, the second sister-in-law didn't say that you had hepatitis, and she didn't even let people say a word of explanation, and she was shouting everywhere in the front yard and back yard. Tomorrow I will ask my aunt to explain to my brother-in-law, don't let their family misunderstand you, or your life will be even more difficult when you go back......"
Zhou Xiaoan didn't react, he didn't even have an expression on his face, put down the dishes and chopsticks and put on his shoes and went to the ground.
"Second sister, why did my uncle go to the hospital to see you first, and he didn't even go home......"
Zhou Xiaoan didn't wait for her to finish, she had already walked out slowly, when there was no such person as Zhou Xiaoling in the house.
She is really not good at being false and wronged with others, and she is tired and panicked for her when she sees Zhou Xiaoling crying. I can't help but be like a sister in the wind forest, don't cry and vomit blood for a while, and then rely on her.
Zhou Xiaoling pinched her handkerchief and was stunned for a moment, seeing that Zhou Xiaoan was really gone, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, the sad grievances on her face faded like the tide of worry, and quickly turned into indifference.
She got up casually and went to wash her face on the basin stand, took out a bottle of alabaster from the small wooden box hidden under her bed, wiped it carefully, combed her hair again, walked to the door, put on a face that had been wronged but forced to smile, and walked out.
