Chapter 42: No Man Will Be Bullied
"Knock knockβ"
As soon as Bai Liu stepped into the door of the hall with one foot, there was another sound at the door.
"Who?" She frowned and went to open the door, subconsciously thinking that it was the Qian family who had gone and returned.
"Zhou Xiangnan?"
The Qian family had already left, and Zhou Xiangnan's face was frosty and eager, panting, as if he had just returned to the village from outside.
"I heard a voice at the entrance of the alley, the Qian family-"
Bai Liu interrupted him and continued: "It's nothing, Aunt Qian has always been a shameless person, and I have already scolded her." β
She didn't want to listen to Zhou Xiangnan repeat what happened again, she had already taught her a lesson, and had already laid the groundwork for the future conflicts of the Qian family.
No, she has already instructed Qian Dashan and his wife.
Now she's not relenting to expand the matter, and it's likely that she and Jelly Bean will be unlucky in the end.
Based on the current knowledge and ideas of the people in the village, they will probably think that Aunt Qian's idea is reasonable.
Zhou Xiangnan nodded after a slight hesitation, he didn't speak, and hesitated in front of the door for a long time.
After waiting and still not speaking, Bai Liu's right eyelid jumped.
She didn't bother to guess what he was thinking: "Thank you for your concern, go back and see the children." β
I didn't go home for many days, and I didn't go to see Fubao and Zhijun when I returned to the village for the first time, and came to care about her.
It's scary to think about.
Bai Liu smiled politely and said that he was about to close the door.
At the last moment when the door was about to close, Zhou Xiangnan suddenly got stuck.
She had to stop her movements and look at Zhou Xiangnan suspiciously.
"I," Zhou Xiangnan had just said the first word, and then stopped.
Bai Liu is the most annoying person, she is not good at facing her directly, but she doesn't want to stand at the door all the time.
If nothing else, it's cold.
"I just wanted to ask you, is there anything inconvenient about your life with Jelly Bean?" Zhou Xiangnan breathed a long sigh of relief after speaking.
Bai Liu was about to laugh when he heard this, there were too many problems in the lives of their mother and daughter, but what did it have to do with Zhou Xiangnan?
They can still ask for Zhou Xiangnan's head-
Wait, is that what she thinks?
"No, no!"
Zhou Xiangnan's eyes lowered, and his voice was light: "Aunt Qian's idea is not alone, it will be more difficult for you and Jelly Bean to live in the future." β
"In the countryside, no man will be bullied by the village people at home."
Shirahiro admits that he has a point, but she will never give in for the sake of fame and temporary stability.
She smiled slowly: "I don't think so, is there a man in the family, or can a man solve all the troubles?" Besides, Jelly Bean is still young, so I don't want to find him a child husband. β
Zhou Xiangnan was slightly stunned, he didn't know if Bai Liu had heard something.
"I don't mean jelly beans, I meanβ"
"Mom, come on!" Jelly Bean screamed in the house, "Are you going to add to the fire, Mom, come on!" β
Bai Liu's heart was relieved, and he immediately turned around: "Jelly Bean, don't move!" β
She closed the door and said to Zhou Xiangnan: "I can handle the affairs of the family and Jelly Bean, thank you for your concern." I won't keep you anymore, Fu Bao and Zhijun miss you, go and see them. β
Without waiting for Zhou Xiangnan to reply, she closed the door directly.
Call~
The skull hurts, is Zhou Xiangnan sick, don't you understand what she means by refusing?
Let's see what the little cub is doing first.
Zhou Xiangnan was defenseless, the door was closed tightly in front of him, and he could even hear Bai Liu locking it from the inside.
The machismo was not angry, but a trace of regret appeared on his face.
There was a good opportunity today, and he should have taken it.
Pity...... But it's still a long time, and it doesn't hurt him to wait.
Zhou Xiangnan stood alone for a while before turning around and going home.
"The second brother is really not afraid of the cold, and he only entered the house now." Zhou Xiangxi's daughter-in-law saw Zhou Xiangnan entering Zhou's house, and couldn't help but be weird.
Zhou Xiangnan glanced at her coldly, and then looked at Zhou Xiangxi.
"Third child, is this what you mean?"
It is impossible for him to reason with his brother-in-law, but he has no scruples about his younger brother.
Zhou Xiangxi is a primary school teacher in the brigade, who pays the most attention to face on weekdays, and is the person who is most like Zhou Xiucai in the Zhou family.
When he heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he looked at his daughter-in-law coldly: "What do you want to say?" β
Zhou Xiangxi's daughter-in-law was most afraid of men, her neck shrank, and she said: "I didn't want to say anything, but the second brother didn't enter the door when he came back just now, so he went to Bailiu's house first." β
The rest of the Zhou family didn't pay attention to it, but they all looked at it when they heard it, with subtlety in their eyes.
The big man went back to the village and didn't enter the house, so he went to the widow's house next door, but she was still a beautiful young widow, and anyone who thought about it felt that something was wrong.
Today is a small year, for people like the Zhou family, who are "heirlooms of poetry and books", they attach the most importance to etiquette, and they are not bad, and their children and grandchildren are all at home.
Zhou Xiangnan said perfunctorily: "I walked to the door just now, and when I saw Aunt Qian next to me embarrassed Bai Liu, I went over and asked. β
His explanation attracted more strange glances, surprises, and jokes.
"I'll go see Fu Bao and Zhijun." He glanced around, and the children were in their huts.
He can not care about other people, but he can't not not respond to Aunt Zhou's questions.
Aunt Zhou chased after him: "Second child, are you in love with Bai Liu?" β
Zhou Xiangnan didn't answer directly, only said: "Mom, I didn't mean anything else, I just happened to be passing by." β
"Mom doesn't believe it," Aunt Zhou pointed to Bailiu's house, "You specify that you have taken a fancy to someone, can Mom still know you?" β
"Back then, you knew what your mother thought, Bai Liu was still lazy to study at that time, and there were no such lazy people in our family...... But now it's okay, it means that you have fate. β
That being said, but in the end, Aunt Zhou didn't look down on Bai Liu before.
Delicious and lazy and bad-tempered, the three brothers in the family, Huang Fenglai can come to the door with a heavy word in the front and back rooms.
They can't afford to mess with such a daughter-in-law.
But who would have thought that Bai Liu would be able to make clothes, and there was a sewing machine that Song Zhiqing bought when he got married, but it was not cheap for their Zhou family.
Aunt Zhou prides herself on being a fair person, and after Zhou Xiangnan and Bai Liu get married, she doesn't want all their money, so let's help the family make clothes.
She had a good calculation, Zhou Xiangnan remembered Bai Liu's attitude, and sighed slightly in his heart.
"Let's talk about it later, I just became the head of the security section, so I'm busy with work first." He returned to the unit after being injured, and the case was just after the investigation.
The previous head of the security section was in prison, and he successfully became the head of the security section.
Aunt Zhou thought for a while and muttered, "Your father is not satisfied with Bai Liu, and you will persuade him when he goes back." β
Zhou Xiangnan smelled the smell of meat next door, and thought of the coarse tea and light rice on his stove, and his face became more and more bad.
His father looks down on greedy and money-spending women the most, but the white willows are all occupied, what should he do if he is caught in the middle?
It would be nice if the two of them each took a step back.
The Zhou family was quiet again, but their eyes looked at each other, and they had their own plans in their hearts.
On the other side, the Bai family also happened to talk about it.
Zhao Jinfang ran into the house from behind and went straight to the hall: "Mom, do you say that Zhou Xiangnan is still interesting to our Bailiu?" β
