Chapter 5 'Generous Gifts'
Zhou Jianxiong hugged his wife in his arms, opened the brocade box, took out the hosta, and inserted it into his wife's sideburns.
Bai Huirou touched the jewelry on her head, smiled gently, and held her husband's big hand, "Brother Jianxiong, thank you, I am so happy now, with you, and with him." Bai Huirou and her husband's hand put it on her lower abdomen and stroked it gently.
"It's me who should thank you, Rou'er" Zhou Jianxiong hugged his wife tightly, hugged them, he wanted to have the whole world, have a wife and children, and his life was complete.
"Brother Jianxiong, you said this child is a boy and a girl?" Bai Huirou gently rubbed Zhou Jianxiong's jaw, she and her husband are childhood sweethearts, she was not born yet, she made a marriage contract with the Zhou family, and when she grew up, she married into the Zhou family smoothly, Brother Jianxiong loved her to the bone, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
"Boys and girls are good, boys are like me, I can take him to protect the family and defend the country in the future, if it is a daughter, looks like you, it must be gentle and gentle, that is the pearl of our palm, but the first child, I still hope to be a boy, so that I can take care of my sister, the daughter still has a brother to protect it, but there are many boys in the Zhou family, and it is okay if the first child is a girl, the eldest brother's family has given birth to three sons, our daughter is not short of brothers, but it is still good to have a brother." Zhou Jianxiong touched his wife's belly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"I think so too, I have three older brothers in my family, who have been spoiled since childhood, and I hope that in the future our daughters will be the same as me." Bai Huirou nodded slightly.
"But can your body hold on? Having a baby is hard, and if it's hard, then just this one is enough, and I don't want to get you hurt because of the child. Zhou Jianxiong's face was worried, his wife and brother-in-law were twins, and their bodies were very weak since they were born, if it weren't for the fact that their father-in-law was a doctor, their wives might not be able to grow up safely, that's it, his wife also had asthma, and it was very painful when she got sick, and giving birth to a child was too much of a burden on her body.
"Brother Jianxiong, I want to give you a child, the child is a testimony of our love, I know my own body, I will take good care of myself, I also want to watch the child grow up, and walk hand in hand with you for a lifetime, if I really can't hold on, I will tell you, I hope there are a few children running around in the family, this is my expectation." Bai Huirou sat up and looked at Zhou Jianxiong and said firmly.
"Okay, listen to you" Zhou Jianxiong held his wife's hand.
A few months later, his wife gave birth to a daughter smoothly, Zhou Jianxiong was ecstatic, and carefully hugged his newborn daughter and was reluctant to let go.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, three years later, the wife suddenly became ill, the condition was menacing, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to the house to help take care of the wife, the wife had asthma, after these years of treatment, the condition has been stabilized, as long as the pollen allergens are not contacted, the wife is fine, but I don't know what happened, the wife suddenly became very sick, the father-in-law and the eldest brother worked hard, the wife's condition came and went, and finally died.
In front of the bed, Zhou Jianxiong held his wife's hand, looked at his bloodless wife, with tears in his eyes, "Rou'er, don't go, don't leave me and Ya'er, look at Ya'er, she is still so young, she can't live without her mother." ”
Bai Huirou's eyes were full of reluctance, she looked at her husband and young daughter beside the bed, and said with difficulty, "Brother Jianxiong...... Take good care of your children...... Afterlife...... See you in the afterlife"
"Rou'er......" Zhou Jianxiong cried in pain, but his wife couldn't hear it anymore.
Rouer ...... Zhou Jianxiong woke up from his memories, looked at everything familiar in front of him, cold-blooded like him, and couldn't help blurring his eyes, thirteen years, he didn't want to go home, in addition to having one more outsider in the family, more than that, he couldn't bear the absence of his wife at home.
Zhou Xiya arrived at the small courtyard arranged by the Bai family, this is the best small building of the Bai family, she lived here in her last life, and the things that the Bai family gave her were the most extravagant, and she was cultivated into a waste who only knew how to dress and show off.
"Miss, the Bai clan has left." At this time, Zhou Xiya's maid walked in, she was an orphan rescued by Zhou Xiya on the battlefield, if it weren't for Miss, she might have died a long time ago, and the prosperity in front of her was not as important as Miss.
"We came back and disrupted her calculations, I guess we went back and were in a hurry to find a way, how could she be willing to hand over all the housekeeping rights to me after so many years in the Zhou family, especially when it comes to money." Zhou Xiya gently touched a pot of flower leaves in the room and sneered.
"Miss, let's seize power as soon as we come back, isn't it a startling snake, if the Bai family is on guard, it will not be easy for Miss to use her fists and kicks at home." Jinxiu knew that the young lady hated the Bai family, but she didn't know why, she just thought that the Bai family had robbed the Zhou family of Mrs. Wei's position.
"No matter what I do, the Bai family will guard against me, it is better to declare war in advance, take advantage of the chaos to disrupt her position, I have a chance to find out the situation at home, the Bai family has not only controlled the Zhou family over the years, but also has a status in the clan, it is not so easy to clear, the clan needs my father's backyard to be stable." Zhou Xiya sighed, the Bai family has been deeply rooted in the Zhou family, and it is not easy to uproot it.
"Miss, this is the purse that the Bai family gave me just now, ask me about your preferences, and she said that the maid she arranged for you will come over later." Splendid handed over the purse.
Zhou Xiya took it and opened it to see that there were two big pearls inside, which were quite valuable, "She is generous, hmph, she is looking for a maid to come over, and she is also here to spy on me, and those maids will be handed over to you when they come, give me a good training." Zhou Xiya threw the purse back to Jinxiu.
"Miss, since you know that they are here to spy on you, why do you want to stay, just send them away, isn't it more dangerous to stay around?" Splendid puzzled.
"It's dangerous, but if you use it well, it can play a greater role, use them to spread some false news, and you can confuse the Bai family even more, when the time comes, you can take a good look at them, don't let them touch my diet and clothing, the Bai family will have some medical skills, lest she do anything else."
Jinxiu frowned, it seems that the Zhou family is not so safe, but it is in danger.
"Miss, you still have to have your own talents by your side, it's better to buy two more maids to serve, the slaves are afraid that they won't be able to keep an eye on you."
"No, I know the people in my heart, and I will take them when the time comes, and the people who buy them can't be trusted." Zhou Xiya shook her head.
Jinxiu nodded, since the young lady has an arrangement, then she will follow the instructions.
"Go and destroy this pot of flowers for me, and if anyone asks, say I don't like this flower?" Zhou Xiya pulled off a leaf.
"Miss? This flower? "It's winter, but it's hard to see such a good flower, and it's a pity to throw it away.
"This flower is a good pot of flowers alone, but look at what it is put together, do you see that pot of bauhinia chrysanthemum, these two pots of flowers together, it will produce toxins, and if you contact these flowers for a long time, people will become delirious, irritable and manic." No matter how poisonous the flower is, it can't compare to the poison of the human heart, the Bai family is really willing to pay the capital, for her to find out all the flowers, it's hard for her to raise this flower so well in the winter.
"My God, how could it be" Jinxiu covered her mouth in surprise, such a beautiful flower was actually poisonous.
"See, you must not take the Bai family lightly, go and dispose of it." Zhou Xiya walked into the house, and she also wanted to see what 'generous gifts' the Bai family had prepared for her.
