Chapter 37 Buying Fish
Zhou Ran lowered her head and said hello, and explained in a low voice: "Auntie has misunderstood me. I also want to go back to my parents' home, but I can't come back. Auntie also knows about Ye Sanlang's situation. Wherever we can stay away from, it's us. Take good care of it, even last winter it was almost..."
Zhou Ran's voice was choked with sobs as she spoke. Finally, she seemed to be unable to speak any more. She shook her head, took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
Several women looked at each other with sympathy in their eyes, and even the aunt who was Yin and Yang Zhou Ran stopped saying anything.
Only then did Zhou Ran raise her head, letting a few people see her red eyes, and said to them: "Aunts, while you chat, I'm going home first. I have to rush back to Xiyao Village in a while."
"Yeah, let's go." Several women waved.
After Zhou Ran walked away with the basket on her back, several women started chatting.
"Speaking of it, these two girls from the Zhou family also had a bad fate. They were not liked by Mrs. Zheng at home. Her father finally found a good family for her, but before she got married, Ye Xiucai got into an accident and became a sick man. Let me see, these two girls may become widows one day."
"But why did I hear that the fiancé seemed to be destined for the eldest girl of the Zhou family? It was because something happened to Ye Xiucai and the eldest girl of the Zhou family was unwilling to marry, so the second girl was allowed to marry him."
"It's impossible. If that's the case, would the Ye family be willing? Besides, although Zhou Heng treats his nephew and niece well, the second girl is his daughter. How can he push his daughter into a fire pit for his niece?"
"Who knows this? I also heard from Juanzi's mother. As you know, Juanzi likes to run to Zhou's house all day long."
"Juanzi's mother said that this matter..."
Zhou Ran herself didn't expect that the topic would develop in the direction she wanted without her guidance. It can only be said that there is no airtight wall in the world.
When Zhou Ran arrived at Zhou's house, Mrs. Lin was squatting alone in the yard washing her clothes. After seeing Zhou Ran, Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up, she stood up with a hammer on her waist and said, "You're back, hurry up. Come help me."
In the past, when Zhou Ran was not married, Zhou Ran would always help her whether it was work at home or in the fields. Although she was tired, she could always take a breath.
But since Zhou Ran got married, she didn't even have time to take a breath.
Zhou Ran couldn't help but rolled her eyes. She didn't know what to say to Mrs. Lin. She just worked as a cow and horse in the Zhou family, and she had to drag her daughter along to be owned by the Zhou family. He dislikes his own daughter, but fawns over Zhou Ying, his niece; he dares not resist Granny Zheng and Zhou Heng, but beats and scolds his own daughter.
If there was a reason for Zhou Heng's favoritism and love for Zhou Siqi and his two siblings, Lin was a little confused by Zhou Ran.
However, some people may be born with abnormal brains. It would not be surprising if such people do anything.
When Mrs. Lin saw that Zhou Ran was ignoring her, she said angrily: "Hey, you stinky girl, you can't hear me when I'm talking to you, can you?"
"What are you arguing about? How long have you been lingering on that little bit of work? Why haven't you finished it yet?" Mrs. Zheng said as she came out of the main room and said angrily: "Okay, let's put this work aside for now. You go to Deng's house at the entrance of the village first. Buy a fish, Qi'er wants to eat fish, remember it must be a live fish, dead fish tastes bad and Qi'er doesn't like it."
Mrs. Lin nodded, looked at Mrs. Zheng solemnly and said, "Mom, money..."
"Money, money, I keep reaching out for money all day long!" Mrs. Zheng scolded Ms. Lin, tilting her chin in the direction of Zhou Ran, "I'm going with your daughter. She only went back to her parents' home in more than half a year. I'm filial to you." Isn’t this what this girl should do?”
After listening to Mrs. Zheng's words, Mrs. Lin actually extended her hand towards Zhou Ran, "Didn't you hear what your grandma said? Hurry up and give me more money. Qi'er likes to eat big fish, so I have to buy a big one."
Zhou Ran took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath before she suppressed her urge to explode. She forced out a smile and said, "Mom, I'll go buy it." After saying that, Zhou Ran didn't wait for the two of them to react, and carried the basket on her back again. Out of Zhou's house.
A few women at the entrance of the village had not dispersed yet. Seeing Zhou Ran coming out so quickly, they couldn't help but asked curiously: "Second girl, are you going back now? Why don't you go back after eating at your parents' house?"
Zhou Ran shook her head and said pitifully: "Hello, aunt, I... I won't go back. My father and grandma thought the gift I brought was too light. There was no live fish that my cousin wanted to eat, so they asked me to go to Uncle Deng's house to give more. My cousin buys a big live fish."
Several women looked at each other, and one of them said excitedly: "Your cousin wants to eat fish, and your father wants you to buy it?"
Zhou Ran nodded and whispered a little aggrievedly: "My father likes my cousin and my cousin, but he doesn't like me."
"How could it be possible? You are your father's biological daughter. How could your father not like you? Is it because the gift you brought was too thin that your father was unhappy?" Zhou Ran's cousin said.
Zhou Ran put down the backpack she was carrying and showed it to them.
Several women looked at the cloth, chicken, duck, snacks and wine in the baskets, shook their heads and said: "This is really not a small amount."
Zhou Ran murmured: "Our Sanlang still needs to take medicine. This is already the best thing our family can provide."
"Oh, it's not easy for you kid either."
Zhou Ran smiled sadly and said, "Auntie, I won't tell you anymore. I have to hurry up and buy fish for my cousin. Otherwise, if I'm late, my dad will beat me."
"Your father still beats you?" A woman asked in surprise: "I haven't heard that your father has the habit of beating people before?"
"My father doesn't hit me often. He only hits me once in a while. It's always when I make my cousin and cousin unhappy."
"Ah, this..." Several women opened their mouths in disbelief.
"The aunts were chatting, but I really have to leave." Zhou Ran didn't say any more, and went to Deng's house with a basket on her back. After a while, she came out with a big fish.
Several women looked at the big fish in Zhou Ran's hand and sighed: "Second girl, you are really willing to buy such a big fish."
"Maybe I'm afraid that if I buy too small, I'll make Zhou Xiucai unhappy and be beaten by Zhou Heng."
"possible."
"You damn girl, you just buy fish when you buy it. Why are you still carrying things out? Hurry up and put down your backpack."
As soon as Zhou Ran carried the fish into the Zhou family's yard, Mrs. Zheng rushed over and almost snatched the basket from Zhou Ran's shoulder: "Let me see what you have brought. It's not good if you only bring a few." As for the things on the countertop, get out of here as soon as possible."
After looking at it, Mrs. Zheng said with satisfaction: "It looks pretty good. Okay, don't wait here and pick up the fish quickly. Qi'er is still waiting to eat."
