The family of Cao lived at the foot of the mountain in Changliu Village. It is said that their ancestors were county magistrates, but now they have fallen into poverty and become farmers. There are only two sons in the family, and the eldest daughter-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the Cao family in Aunt Zhou's words. Aunt Zhou wiped her hands and said while serving the rice: "It seems that her surname is Du, just like you. She has been married to our village for more than ten years, but she has never given birth. Some time ago, her brother brought a baby girl to her and she has grown up very well."

Du Wanchun felt something was wrong and asked quickly: "Is her name Du Damei?"

Aunt Zhou nodded, "Yes, that's her name."

At this time, Aunt Zhou suddenly found something wrong, "Wanchun, could she be your aunt? I remember your father gave your stepmother's child to your aunt to raise, is she?"

Du Wanchun nodded and looked out the door, "My aunt got married early, and I don't know which family she married to. I heard you say that just now, I guess it's the Cao family."

The Cao family lives at the foot of the mountain, far away from the village, so they don't go to Pingheli and the families in their village very often.

Aunt Zhou also met Du Wanchun's aunt because she often went to the mountain to pick flowers recently.

Du Wanchun's aunt stayed at her husband's house all day and didn't know she was married. If she knew she was married to Zhou's family, she would have come to find her long ago.

Aunt Zhou sighed and said, "Your aunt has a hard life and is often bullied by her mother-in-law. I will take you to see her next time I go up the mountain."

Du Wanchun nodded.

At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Zhao also came.

They went to Wang's house, subdued Wang Qiu completely, and returned home with a smile.

Aunt Zhou took a look and guessed that the matter should be settled, so she quickly served them food.

After lunch, the bricklayer He Quanyi came to Zhou's house with tools and prepared to measure the foundation for them.

Seeing that the old house was going to be replaced with a new one, Aunt Zhou smiled from ear to ear and quickly welcomed him into the house.

After He Quanyi measured the foundation, he discussed the layout of the new house with Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou was born rich and well-informed. She had a lot of insights into the layout of the new house, which surprised He Quanyi.

Fortunately, He Quanyi was a smart man. He soon agreed with Aunt Zhou on the house building. A few days later, he brought the house to dismantle and lay the foundation.

As He Quanyi came and went, the villagers soon knew that the Zhou family was going to build a house. They were all very moved. They didn't expect that this lonely widow would turn things around with her family.

Except for the Chen family and the Meng family, most of the villagers were people who had suffered. Although they were a little stingy on weekdays, they were not troublemakers. When they knew that the Zhou family was building a house, they didn't say anything except feeling and envy. At most, they would take a few more glances when they passed by the Zhou family.

However, the Meng family, especially Aunt Meng, who was originally sitting at the table eating, fell off the chair when they heard the news.

"What? What did you say? The widow's family is going to build a house?" Aunt Meng got up from the ground. Her butt was still hurting from the crocodile bite last time.

Uncle Meng nodded with a sad face, "Yes, I just went to see, their family is ready to lay the foundation."

Aunt Meng stood up suddenly and wanted to go out, "I'll go take a look too, I don't know if this widow Zhou has used some tricks to make so much money."

Uncle Meng pulled her back and said sternly: "Okay, don't always care about other people's families, now let's talk about our family's affairs."

Aunt Meng was stunned, "What can happen in our family?"

Uncle Meng raised his beard and said arrogantly: "I want to take a concubine!"

"Take a concubine?" Aunt Meng almost lost her footing, "Why, are you still thinking about the widow of the Zhou family?!"

Uncle Meng shook his head and said: "Who said she is you, it's Jiang Meizi from the neighboring village, she wants to be with me!"

Aunt Meng was so angry that she almost vomited blood. That Jiang Meizi was from the same hometown as her. They used to walk together often, and now she comes to her house every few days. Unexpectedly, she hooked up with her family's man.

She pointed at Mr. Meng and cursed: "You are still not honest at your age, and you are always thinking about taking a concubine. I tell you, I will never agree even if I die!"

Mr. Meng was not like before. He stood up and slammed the table hard, saying angrily: "I tell you, this time, whether you agree or not, I will take her in."

Mrs. Meng started to throw a tantrum, slapped her thigh, and cursed in a sharp voice, "If you want to take her in, wait until I die!"

"No need to wait for you to die, I'm going to divorce you now

. "Mr. Meng waved his hand and turned away.

Mrs. Meng stayed where she was. She didn't expect that she had been targeting the Zhou family, but she was wrong. The one who deserved to die the most was her old and dishonest man.

She was so angry that she trembled all over. She turned around, went into the house, picked up a kitchen knife and rushed out.

Soon, a scream came from the Meng family.
