Chapter 65: The Bottom Line

"The eldest aunt has been honestly cured by the milk these days, and the milk can't find anything wrong for a while. Besides, if the milk treats the eldest aunt for no reason, she will offend the second sister, but the milk is still counting on the second sister to marry into the Xu family to help the family in the future, and she can't offend the second sister too much.

The fourth aunt is slippery and doesn't leave her hands, and the milk can't find fault if she wants to, and the fourth uncle is not as obedient as the second uncle, if the milk lets the fourth uncle beat the fourth aunt, if the fourth uncle doesn't fight, the milk is faceless, why do you beat our family? The second aunt is the most comfortable, today the sixth girl has a fever again, looking at the faces of the second aunt and the eldest sister, it seems that there is a little strange milk, and the milk grabs the handle. Zhou Chen's analysis was straightforward.

"If our mother is here, the milk must find our mother to smash the raft first......" Zhou Yang said in disappointment.

"Yes, our mother is skillful and capable, she catches her at home and abroad, her temper is good, and she doesn't talk back when she is scolded, and our dad listens to the milk again, our mother is scolded by the milk, and our dad beats our mother a few times, and our mother won't say anything. Other people compare with our mother, they can't work, they can't give birth to a son, they can't do anything, they don't dare to be angry, and they have to listen to everything. Zhou Chen said with some sarcasm.

Zhou Yang was silent, put his face on Zhou Wanwan's hair and rubbed it slowly. The three siblings listened to the noise coming from the open doors and windows of the East House, and quietly watched the sky getting darker and darker outside the window. These words made them understand the calculations and selfishness of the Zhou family more clearly, and they also realized more clearly that in this family, after the only mother who thinks about them leaves, the only thing they can rely on is each other.

In fact, Zhou Wanwan felt that there was another reason why Zhou Chen didn't know about Mrs. Zhou's stubble with Li Guizhi's mother and daughter today, that is, Zhou Ping's marriage.

Zhou Ping's visit to the Makeng seems to have passed, but Zhou Wanwan knows that Wang Fengying and Mrs. Zhou will never stop there. It is very likely that the matter of the change of relatives has been brought up recently, or has been quietly carried out without the knowledge of everyone.

In order to control Li Guizhi's mother and daughter, Mrs. Zhou must rectify them recently and make them completely obedient. Completely deprive them of the right to speak, so that the matter of changing relatives can proceed smoothly. After all, this is the new China. Freedom of marriage, if Zhou Ping really resists desperately, Mrs. Zhou still has no choice, arranged marriage is illegal, really poke out. Mrs. Zhou had to be arrested and imprisoned.

Therefore, Zhou Wanwan is sure that Mrs. Zhou will win today's game. Li Guizhi's mother and daughter will definitely be rectified very badly.

The dinner of the Zhou family was postponed for a long time before it was served, and the rabbit meat stewed with potatoes and sorghum rice and vegetables were mushy leaves, which were delicious foods that were not available for the New Year. Although each person was only given one or two pieces of meat, and even Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan only had potatoes and no meat in their bowls, this was the first time they had eaten meat in three or four years, and everyone was looking forward to it.

As Zhou Wanwan expected, the excited Zhou family did not include Zhou Chunxi's family. Li Guizhi and Zhou Ping were kneeling on the ground, both wearing their heads, half of Li Guizhi's face was swollen and deformed, it seemed that Zhou Chunxi finally started beating her.

Zhou Chunxi sat at the kang table with his head drooped, without saying a word, and the meat in the bowl did not move, probably reserved for his wife and daughter who had not received a mouthful of meat.

Just after the fifteenth, the moon was white and bright, shining through the open window, and the expressions on everyone's faces were clearly visible. Zhou Chunfa's family was happy. flattered Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou took a spoon to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter on the table like a queen, as if what she was holding in her hand was not a meal lacking oil and salt, but the fate of everyone.

Zhou Lan has been lying on the North Kang. Quietly, Zhou Wanwan suddenly felt a little worried, afraid that Zhou Lan would not be able to survive. After all, this incident had never happened in a previous life, and if Zhou Lan died of illness because of his own reasons, Zhou Wanwan would still be unhappy in his heart. After all. Zhou Lan has never offended her in her previous life or this life, if she wants to take revenge, she will definitely go to the main master, and she will never want to implicate the innocent.

Zhou Yang quietly put the two pieces of meat he had allocated into the bowl of his younger brothers and sisters, Zhou Chen wanted to push, but was stopped by Zhou Yang with a look. Zhou Chen didn't make any more noise, chewed the meat piece by piece and fed it to Zhou Wanwan. Zhou Wanwan especially didn't want to eat these two pieces of tasteless meat, but the brothers wouldn't agree, so many pairs of eyes at the dinner table were watching, so they could only barely eat, and they looked forward to the rain soon, so they could go and catch rabbits to eat.

Halfway through eating, Shen Yufen suddenly covered her mouth and ran out, and as soon as she ran to the door of the outhouse, she heard the sound of retching.

"What's going on?" Zhou Chunlai immediately threw down the bowl and followed.

Mrs. Zhou stared gloomily at Zhou Chunlai's panicked back, and Zhou Hongying dropped her chopsticks, "This still doesn't let people eat, it's disgusting!" He shouted at Zhou Chunlai again, "Look at your useless appearance!" My mother cried like that and I didn't see you in a hurry, you made your daughter-in-law an ancestral board! ”

Zhou Chunlai and his wife were silent at the door of the outhouse, and what answered Zhou Hongying was Shen Yufen retching violently again.

After a long time, Zhou Chunlai returned to the East House by himself and folded the rice of the two into a bowl, "Mother, Yufen can't smell the vegetables, I'll bring the paste to her to eat." After speaking, he didn't care about Mrs. Zhou's face, and left directly.

"Oops! Wouldn't this old fourth daughter-in-law be there? Wang Fengying patted her thigh and said.

Mrs. Zhou's gloomy face improved at this time, and she glared fiercely at Li Guizhi's mother and daughter who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a weird manner: "What can you do if you have it, don't give birth to another money-losing goods." I'm afraid that those who are stinky and shameless will only lose money and be demons in their lives! ”

Li Guizhi's mother and daughter, who were kneeling on the ground woodenly, remained motionless, with a posture of resignation to be beaten and scolded.

This night, Zhou Wanwan woke up several times in a half-asleep night, and each time he was disturbed by Zhou Yang or Zhou Chen. When one of them woke up, he came and touched her head or her little hands and feet, and made sure that she slept well and had no fever, and then went back to sleep for a while, and then he woke up and touched again.

Zhou Wanwan has been pretending to be asleep soundly, she knows that the two brothers are afraid that she will be frightened and not at ease. But can you two schedule a shift? It's really disturbing to sleep when two people take turns to disturb from time to time...... Zhou Wanwan complained happily in her heart.

This night, although Zhou Wanwan was disturbed and woke up several times, she felt very warm and safe, like in the sweetest dreamland. Zhou Yang saw that his sister was still smiling sweetly in her sleep, and finally relieved and woke up Zhou Chen and asked him to come and see it. The two silly brothers quietly smirked at their sister for a long time before they fell asleep peacefully.

At the breakfast table the next day, Li Guizhi sat blankly and with bruises and swelling on one side of his face. Holding the dying Zhou Lan in his arms. Zhou Lan had a fever all night and the fever did not subside, and seeing that there was more air in and less air out, she might not be able to do it immediately.

Zhou Ping was holding a damp cloth next to him to give Zhou Lan a cold compress, and he couldn't control his tears. She has been crying all night, and now her eyes are swollen into a slit, not much better than Li Guizhi, who was slapped by Zhou Chunxi a few times yesterday.

"Why are you crying early in the morning? Howling? Throw it out when you're dead! Stinky girl, it's a money-losing thing to feed up! Mrs. Zhou scolded Zhou Ping with a sharp voice.

Zhou Chen hugged Zhou Wanwan and let her lie in his arms. Gently touching her hair, Zhou Yang also sat over without saying a word, blocking his younger siblings behind him. They all remembered that Zhou Wanwan was thrown away, no matter how long it was, it was a pain that the three brothers and sisters couldn't mention, looking at Zhou Lan today, it was like seeing Zhou Wanwan at the beginning, and they had mixed feelings for a while.

Zhou Wanwan could feel the emotions of her brothers, and she herself was a little unhappy, although this incident was deliberately caused by Mrs. Zhou. But if it weren't for Shen Guodong coming to find him, there would be no follow-up. Zhou Lan suffered such an unwarranted disaster, after all, it still had something to do with herself.

No matter how indifferent Zhou Chunxi's family was when he was thrown away, it had nothing to do with the young Zhou Lan. Zhou Wanwan will not let the innocent Zhou Lan pay for her parents, so she can't stand idly by.

The grievances are clear and do not hurt the innocent, this must be her bottom line. She knew her demons all too well, and if she didn't control them, she could go to an unimaginable situation, when her hands were stained with the blood of innocents. is no longer qualified to talk about a happy life, so even for the sake of peace of conscience for herself and her brothers in the future, she has to save Zhou Lan.

After breakfast. The Zhou family went to work in the production team. The summer rush has begun, and the corn, soybeans, millet, millet, and sorghum in the field have all separated into four leaves one after another, and they have to start hoeing the grass for the first time. In the spring and summer, the field management and water and fertilizer in this season determine the harvest of the year, and the production team leader has held several mobilization meetings in the field. Emphasizing that all employees must go to the ground in the summer, and two days of work will be deducted if they are missing one day!

In this case, the pregnant Shen Yufen also had to go to the ground, Zhou Chunlai wanted his daughter-in-law to rest at home for a few days, but Shen Yufen stopped her. went to tell Mrs. Zhou, but she could only be scolded back in a gray manner, and she had to be held for a long time to talk about stealing and playing tricks, and she couldn't do it.

Li Guizhi and Zhou Ping don't want to take care of the sick Zhou Lan at home, Mrs. Zhou's scolding in the morning was not for no reason, she just prevented the two of them from asking for a day off.

If she doesn't agree, Zhou Lan will die on this day again, and she will inevitably have a bad reputation as a grandmother, so she will scold them to death first, so that they will dispel the idea of stopping work, and they will not dare to mention it, and Zhou Lan will have nothing to do with her at that time.

Zhou Chen's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the injuries on Zhou Lan's body, he took Zhou Wanwan to the West House and told her to stay away from Mrs. Zhou and stay in her own house. When she saw the shadow of Mrs. Zhou, she hid it, and she must not be caught. If Mrs. Zhou wanted to beat her, she would have to run fast, and she would cry if she couldn't run.

Zhou Chen also quietly told Zhou Wanwan that he had gone to Zhang Sanneck's house on Front Street early in the morning, Zhang San's neck and his mother did not go to work in the production team, and was at home all day, Zhou Chen gave her two sparrows and begged her to listen more to the movements of the Zhou family. If she heard Zhou Wanwan crying, she would come over to take a look, take her to Zhang's house first, and wait for the two brothers to come and pick up their sister after work.

Only then did Zhou Wanwan know what Zhou Chen was going out to hunt sparrows for early in the morning. Fortunately, she had to follow and cooperate with him to release some from the space, and he only hit two, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do this backup plan.

Zhou Yang silently dressed Zhou Wanwan, tied her shoes, checked it carefully, and touched her little head again and again, with a heavy face.

Zhou Wanwan knew that the eldest brother was not worried about himself, but he was helpless. In the countryside at that time, it was too normal for a child to be beaten twice by his parents, that is, Zhou Lan was pinched like that by Mrs. Zhou, and none of the Zhou family felt that it was too much, it was natural to beat their own children, and there was no need to find a reason, and no one felt that it was wrong. Therefore, no matter how worried their brother is about his sister, there is nothing they can do. Whose child has not been beaten, and who will blame the old man for being beaten because the child has been beaten? It's just incomprehensible.

Even if the old man is heavy, injured, or even disabled, it is for the good of the child! As a junior, you can only accept it, you can't resent it, and you have nowhere to be reasonable.

Zhou Wanwan also knows that our national conditions, even decades or even hundreds of years later, this kind of thing is a social problem, and we have not yet found a suitable solution. Therefore, now the two brothers are so worried and helpless, because Mrs. Zhou will really be ruthless to her, and at her age, there is no room for resistance.

Fortunately, Zhou Wanwan is not an ordinary child, although she doesn't want to provoke Mrs. Zhou, she is not afraid of her at all. So after the Zhou family left, she still came to the East House to see Zhou Lan.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou is relatively normal today, and she is not mad at the few granddaughters who stayed at home. Zhou Ling and Zhou Xia are like cats and mice when they see Mrs. Zhou now, and they hurriedly find their own work after eating. Zhou Lan lay alone on the North Kang, silent, not concentrating, not even breathing.

Zhou Wanwan took advantage of the eggplant seedlings in the back garden when Mrs. Zhou went to the back garden, put down a square stool, and climbed up the north kang to see Zhou Lan.

Zhou Lan's face was pale, without a trace of human color, lying quietly on the kang, her small body under the thin quilt was so thin that she could hardly see the outline.

It was the first time Zhou Wanwan saw a dying child so closely, and the first visual impact made her a little unbearable. She was afraid that she would not have time, so she didn't even dare to do a physical examination, so she fed Zhou Lan a few mouthfuls of spiritual spring water first. At least these few mouthfuls of water can ensure that Zhou Lan does not lose her breath immediately, with her current state, death is possible in every minute......

Zhou Wanwan took one of Zhou Lan's hairs and used her consciousness to do a physical examination in the space, and the results were similar to the original self-examination, which were all complications caused by severe malnutrition. Zhou Lan is not even as good as Zhou Wanwan now, at least Zhou Wanwan is not so frightened and has a high fever all night. (To be continued.) )
