Chapter 467 Shen Xue is on guard against us.
Shen Xue was full, and she walked out with her son without looking back, leaving Zhou's father and mother staring at the broken bowl on the table with dark faces.
Daya said softly, "Grandpa and grandma, please sit down. Daya will go wash the dishes."
The child can't even speak clearly. Zhou's mother couldn't bear to let such a young child work. She was not as cruel as Shen Xue.
"Leave it there, I'll wash it."
Zhou's mother cursed and went to take a bath. She saw Daya started to clean the chicken coop with a broom again.
"Daya, your brother doesn't have to work, what do you do?"
She finally realized that Shen Xue treated Zhou Jin as a treasure and Daya as a weed.
After all, this child is his son's daughter. Isn't Shen Xue being too harsh on Daya?
"Grandma, my brother and I are different. Mom said that I was born to take care of my brother and the family. I can't be ignorant."
"What's the difference? You and your brother are twins. If he doesn't work, you can't work either.
If your mother scolds you, you throw a tantrum and roll on the ground. "
Shen Xue didn't like this child, and Wang Fanghong began to feel sorry for the child. During the time she was here,
She had to teach Daya well, and see how this child would irritate Shen Xue.
Let her also have a taste of being childish by herself.
"If I don't obey, my mother will beat me, not give me food, and even sell me to someone else.
Daya must be sensible. As long as Daya is sensible, mother will smile at her. "
Daya is not even as tall as the broom. It is not easy to pick up the broom. After holding it for a while, my hands feel weak.
I need to put the broom down for a while, and then continue working. It's cold.
Daya's body was shaking while she was working, and her teeth were chattering when she spoke.
"Daya, where are your thick clothes?"
"Daya doesn't have thick clothes and it's too cold in the winter. It would be better if Daya just stayed on the kang every day."
Mother Zhou: "..."
The child wouldn't listen when she was told not to work, and Zhou's mother ignored her. She was doing it for the child's good, so it didn't matter if the child didn't know what was going on.
The couple drank two mouthfuls of corn porridge but it was not enough to fill them up. Now they felt completely exhausted.
Wang Fanghong began to search through boxes and cabinets for food. After searching for a long time, she found half a potato.
The potatoes were still sprouting. Wang Fanghong looked incredulous, "Why is there no food at all?"
In her impression, no matter how poor the countryside is, there shouldn't be no food. This family is so poor that even mice have to take a detour.
Zhou's father was also quite surprised. He thought that Shen Xue was out and he and his wife could have a good meal.
Now that they have nothing, won’t they be hungry all the time?
They have jobs in Kyoto, and their monthly salary is decent.
He didn't know whether his family members had enough to eat at every meal, but he and his wife did.
I don’t know how many years it has been since I last felt hungry. It feels so bad.
"Look around. There must be food there. Look in the yard too. They have cellars in the countryside. If that doesn't work, take the chickens out of the coop..."
Father Zhou was just about to kill the chickens in the coop if all else failed, but when he turned around, he saw that the chickens in the coop were gone.
"Yes, yes, let's find the cellar. Shen Xue must have put the food in the cellar."
Otherwise, how could there be no food at home? Wang Fanghong didn't believe it.
Wang Fanghong searched for a long time and almost turned over the ground in the yard. She finally found the cellar.
There was nothing inside, which made Zhou's father and mother's faces turn green with anger.
"His father, Shen Xue is on guard against us."
The house was clean and there was no food. It was obvious that Shen Xue had always been on guard against them.
This country woman smashed all the cupboards in their house and ate all the delicious food, but they didn't say anything.
Now that they were here, Shen Xue was on guard against them everywhere. Wang Fanghong was furious.
She had never seen such a daughter-in-law. She and her husband were willing to come to the countryside to give them face, but Shen Xue still didn't know how to appreciate it.
The Zhou family would not recognize such a daughter-in-law.
How could Zhou's father not know that Shen Xue was on guard against them? He was also furious.
"We'll go out and chat with our fellow villagers later, so that everyone can know how Shen Xue usually shows respect to us."
"I have to go out for a walk."
The couple went out for a walk, sharing candy with everyone they met and introducing themselves as Zhou Jingchen's parents.
"Hey, it turns out to be Zhou Zhixiao's parents. I was wondering if you didn't look like country folk. Are you here to see your grandchildren?"
Wang Fanghong forced a smile, "Yes, I was thinking about my son, daughter-in-law and two twin children, so I took a leave to come and see them.
Fearing that they would not have a good life, my child’s father and I usually lived frugally.
As soon as I got my salary, I would send them money bills, hundreds or even dozens of dollars at a time, just to make their lives better in the countryside.
Who knew they were living such a hard life? My child's father and I came here.
Shen Xue couldn't even cook a decent meal, the corn paste was as thin as water.
We adults can bear being hungry, but how can the two children bear it? I really feel sorry for them."
After Wang Fanghong finished speaking, she tightened her belt. Since she had said so, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Shen Xue was unfilial to her parents-in-law.
Wang Fanghong was waiting for everyone to blame Shen Xue.
The aunts and wives looked accustomed to it, saying, "Their lives are indeed hard.
Especially your son, as a mother, you should care about Zhou Zhiqing.
As for Shen Xue, well, let's not talk about her. She married Zhou from your hometown.
You, the parents-in-law, must not bother with her. Shen Xue is prone to sleepwalking at night!"
Father Zhou, Mother Zhou: "..."
Why is it different from what she imagined?
The parents-in-law came all the way to see their child, but they didn't even have a decent meal.
Not to mention a decent meal, she can’t even get enough to eat. Is Shen Xue doing the right thing?
What's wrong with these peasants? They help their relatives but not others?
"Hey, how can we, as elders, argue with children? We are just worried that they are not living a good life."
Wang Fanghong has the image of a good mother-in-law.
Everyone comforted her with a few words, "We are all parents now, we have children,
With your help, they can always make ends meet."
Although Shen Xue was a rather unreliable girl, no one said anything in front of Zhou's father and mother.
After all, they had watched Shen Xue grow up. If they said something bad about Shen Xue in front of her parents-in-law,
Then they would have to think that the girls in their Shenjiaba Brigade are not good.
Saying that Miss Shen Xue was sleepwalking was to remind them not to mess with Miss Shen Xue casually.
Zhou's mother couldn't continue chatting with them, so she started asking about Shen Xue's family.
This time we came here to visit our in-laws, but we don’t know where their home is.”
A kind-hearted elder sister pointed in the direction of the Shen family, "Go straight from here until you reach the big rock. There is a turn and a little further ahead is the Shen family."
