Peasant girl who traveled through time: I brought an earth with me

Chapter 29 Inferiority
"No problem, it's just a simple effort. Why do you bother? We are all neighbors, so there is no need to be so polite."

Mrs. Zhao waved her hand and said with a smile: "Hey, this is not a valuable thing, it's just a little food. If you agree to help, I really don't know how to thank you. You help my Xiaomei dress up." , I can finally feel more at ease.”

Zhong Chuchu smiled: "As long as I can help."

Mrs. Zhao also laughed, and suddenly thought of something again. She glanced around, then lowered her voice and said, "Have you heard about Zhou Xiantao recently?"

"No, what happened to her?"

When she heard the name, her mind suddenly thought of the girl who pestered Qin Ye that day.

"She disappeared. Her neighbors said she seemed to have eloped with someone!" Zhao said with a gossipy look.

"Elope? With whom?" Zhong Chuchu's strong desire for gossip was suddenly aroused.

Seeing that she was also interested, Mrs. Zhao winked.

She immediately understood and turned sideways to let Zhao in.

The two of them were sitting in the courtyard, and Ms. Zhao couldn't wait to share the gossip she just heard with Zhong Chuchu.

"The Zhou family is not a good person, and Zhou Xiantao is really pitiful! You know the woman named Xiao Cui that the Zhou family picked up a few days ago, right?"

Zhong Chuchu thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the case.

"Xiao Cui said that she fled from famine and suffered a lot along the way. In order to thank the Zhou family for their kindness, she was willing to make a baby for Zhou Pinggui."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao showed a look of disdain on her face.

"Bah, what the hell, a mud-legged woman, her family is very poor, and she still imitates the rich to take concubines! Xiaocui said that she is 28 years old this year. I think she looks average, but the filthy smell on her body makes her Zhou Pinggui is obsessed with five things and three ways."

Zhong Chuchu: "."

"Can Mr. Zhou agree?"

Mrs. Zhao curled her lips: "It's okay not to agree. Xiaocui said she was pregnant and even invited a doctor. The first pulse said she was carrying a boy!"

Zhong Chuchu understood that Zhou Pinggui only had a daughter like Zhou Xiantao. The old lady of the Zhou family almost went crazy thinking about her grandson. She heard that she had to burn incense and worship Buddha on the 15th of every lunar month, asking the Bodhisattva to bless her to have a grandson.

"Then what does this have to do with Zhou Xiantao's elopement?" she asked doubtfully.

"Hey, this Xiaocui is also a ruthless character. When she first arrived at the Zhou family, she always acted like a little fudi and called each other sisters with the Zhou family. But since she got pregnant, her true nature has been revealed."

"Not only did the Zhou family serve her in turn, he also persuaded Zhou Pinggui to marry Zhou Xiantao to a family. The other party was an old man in his 40s. I heard that the other party had just lost his wife and was a bad gambler."

"I was given twenty taels of silver as a bride price, and Xiao Cui said that I would save this money for my son to use for his studies in the future! Tsk, tsk, with just one sentence, the whole Zhou family was coaxed into submission."

When Zhao said this, she still couldn't bear it.

She is also the one who has a daughter and can understand this sadness best.

Zhong Chuchu also fell silent, and the two of them sat quietly without speaking.

After a while, Mrs. Zhao stood up, patted herself and said, "Forget it, we can't care about other people's affairs, but with this girl Xiantao running away like this, I don't think the ending will be too optimistic."

"Yes! Not to mention the lack of household registration and difficulty in moving forward, just because a man takes her to elope regardless of her reputation is not worth entrusting her to." Zhong Chuchu agreed.

"Whether Zhou Xiantao comes back or not from now on, her reputation will be completely ruined."

Mrs. Zhao nodded, who said it wasn't the case?

The two talked again, and Mrs. Zhao went back home. Her family was getting married in the future, and now there were a lot of things going on, so she had to rush back to do some work.After Mrs. Zhao left, Zhong Chuchu was just sad for a second. Life did not allow her to be sad in spring and autumn. She had to work hard to make money to support herself and her two children. There was also an exquisite pagoda with unknown floors waiting for her.

I don’t know when I will earn enough money to be able to find a place with beautiful scenery to lie down.

But the reality is cruel. There is still a pile of dirty clothes waiting for her to wash at home.

The two boys in her family are already well-behaved, but they are young and have lively and active natures engraved in their bones, so their clothes get dirty very quickly.

Now that the weather is cold, every time I go to the river to wash clothes, I always feel that my hands are frozen and I can't feel anything. It's uncomfortable to think about that feeling.

But there is no way. Washing clothes at home wastes too much water. The water tank at home is bottomed out and I have to go out to fetch water. It is also very troublesome.

Why don't you take your dirty clothes to Blue Star for washing? The temperature there is moderate and there is no winter at all. You can just take them out to dry after they are washed.

Just when she was thinking about these things, Lin Xiuer's crisp voice came from the door.

"Sister Auntie, are you at home?"

Zhong Chuchu opened the door quickly and saw Lin Xiuer with two pigtails standing at the door of her house carrying a large bag of things.

"Why are you here?" she asked while letting her into the house.

"My grandma asked me to come over and give clothes to the big and little babies." After Lin Xiuer finished speaking, she glanced at the things she was carrying.

"Oh, come in and sit for a while. I'll ask the two boys to come over and try it on to see if it fits."

Lin Xiuer hesitated at the door for a while, then followed in.

I have to say that the clothes sewn by Mrs. Lin are very good, with fine stitching and a perfect fit.

The cotton-padded coat feels very thick, and the cotton plug inside is bulging, which makes people feel warm at first glance.

The dress Xiaobao is wearing also has a little lion embroidered on the front. Although it is not very delicate, it looks ugly and adorable, quite cute.

The front of Dabao's clothes was embroidered with the word "福" in red thread. The font was round and looked very festive.

One look at these two pieces of clothing and you can tell that the person who made them put a lot of thought into them.

Zhong Chuchu felt very satisfied. Even modern clothes of various styles still looked very rustic in comparison, but it was a warm cotton coat that contained the deep love and care of the elders for the younger ones.

Dabao was wearing new clothes and jumping around in the courtyard, his happy lips never letting go.

He hasn't worn new clothes in years.

"Mom, this dress is so warm. You won't feel cold at all this winter." Dabao said with a proud look on his face.

Xiaobao keeps touching the little lion on his chest and looks like he can't put it down.

"Mom, little lion, Xiaobao likes it."

Zhong Chuchu laughed, looking at the bright smiles of the two children, she felt her whole body became happy.

But when she accidentally saw Lin Xiu'er standing aside, the little girl showed a trace of envy and some inferiority complex in her eyes.

Only then did she realize that Lin Xiuer was now a 16-year-old girl, but she was still wearing a white washed cotton coat.
