Chapter 8 The Shadow Behind

As soon as the flower hall came out, the sun had already risen high. Only then did Song Keren have the opportunity to look at the yard of the Zhou family, or find a good route to escape by the way.

The Zhou family is not a rich family. It should be said that it is still a big step away from a well-off family. Mr. Zhou's daily task is to eat, sleep and eat. The problem of food and clothing of the family falls on the eldest Zhou Ke and the second Zhou Yong.

The Zhou family has several mu of land in the village, which is mainly cultivated by Zhou Ke. In another half-dead grocery store, Zhou Yong, a man with a moustache on his lips, is being take care of.

This is the only official income of a family.

Of course, men, women and children of this family can't rely on this thing alone. Therefore, under the leadership of old lady Zhou Tang, the women in the whole family want to be red every day and earn some money to subsidize the family.

Of course, these are not enough to support a big family. Zhou Tang used to be a lady of a large family and brought a rich dowry. Although most of them were thrown into the gambling table by Zhou Guangyi's father, Zhou Tang's husband. But in the past few decades, Zhou Tang has used his life to protect his private money. It was not until his father died that Zhou Tang was relieved and relaxed his hand covering his pocket.

When life could not go on, Zhou Tang took out a dowry pawn or two. It can always live the hardest days, so this week's family has spent decades in this kind of poverty.

Song Keyen tried to write down everything in the yard while everyone was doing what they should do.

The Zhou family's yard is a typical large tile house in Guanzhong, with three rooms in the west and three rooms in the east. In the center is the flower hall and Zhou Tang's bedroom.

Behind Zhou Tang's bedroom is a row of small houses without windows. The outermost side is the kitchen, where Zhou Zhang fights every day. Next to the kitchen is a warehouse and a firewood house. Next to the firewood house, there is a small hut.

The Zhou family rarely went to the hut, and most of the excretion problems were solved in the toilet behind the bed. However, as a veteran farmer for a while, a hut for storing feces is an indispensable place. Every morning, the daughters-in-law of each room line up to dump the toilet in the hut.

After seeing the hut, the next one is naturally the bedroom.

Zhou Guangyi and Zhou Zhang live in the first room in the west, opposite their daughter Zhou Xiaomei's bedroom. Next to Zhou Xiaomei's bedroom is the old and lush room of the Zhou family.

Opposite Zhou Mao's house is the room of the eldest brother and Zhou Heng, and opposite Zhou Heng's house is Zhou Yong and Zhou Fang's house.

In the past, it was the muddy wall and main gate.

It should not be difficult to get out of such a small and crowded yard. Song Keren couldn't help but feel complacent. Some people are unhappy with this complacency.

When Song Ke was planning an escape route in the yard, Zhou Mao smiled at her back, and then raised his leg and pushed the door and got into Zhou Xiaomei's room.

When it comes to handsome men, Song Keren in this family has a fancy to Zhou Mao. Zhou Mao is a first-class handsome man both in ancient and modern times!

Zhou Mao has a angular face, and on this eyebrow, two sword eyebrows seem to be drawn. At that moment, the eyes embedded in the eyelids were bright and clean. Under the tall bridge of the nose is a thin and ruddy mouth. When his mouth smiled, the corners of his mouth were always habitually picked to one side, looking like a bad boy.

Compared with Zhou Mao's handsomeness, Zhou Jia's face seemed to be sat down at birth. She stood with Zhou Mao, and no one would think that they crawled out of the belly of the same mother. Even Zhou Guangyi occasionally doubted whether her mother-in-law had a history of being unfaithful to her.

A Chinese-character face, coupled with a pair of small triangular eyes, a big mouth with a flat nose, a circle of freckles on the cheekbones under the eyes, and a big black mole at the corners of the lips, how many matchmakers have forced such a girl to run away?

When Zhou Mao entered Zhou Jia's house, Zhou Xiaomei was worried about her marriage. Her third brother is married for the second time. She is eighteen and a half years old. How many matchmakers have been hired? Are you destined to be a boudoir in this life?

Today, Zhou Xiaomei is particularly unhappy. First, her third brother is married again, and second, her third sister-in-law is a beauty. Both of them have violated Zhou Xiaomei's taboo. On the one, she can't see others look good, and on the other, she can't see others live a good life.

When Zhou Mao came in, Zhou Xiaomei was sitting at the table poking her head and sulking. Next to it was a purse that had just been twisted, embroidered with a pair of butterflies and a vulgar flower. Zhou Mao looked at the color of the purse and knew that it was embroidered by three Zhou Heng.

Seeing that his little sister was angry, Zhou Mao immediately showed a proud bad smile, which was almost the same as his dead grandfather. At a glance, I knew that it was a prodigal blank and a bellyful of bad water.

Zhou Mao has another habit, which is to sow discord and add jealousy. Take the pain of others as happiness and your own happiness. Of course, an important thing to do when you see new people coming, that is, to sow discord.

When everyone ignored the newcomers, he was throwing an olive branch. Being a good person and being a good person is the principle of Zhou Mao's life. Why do you have to let the new third sister-in-law appreciate him? Otherwise, won't his beautiful skin be wasted?

"I said, who is messing with our young lady again? If you don't hurry to finish today's work, let grandma know for a while, and it's time to say mother again!" Zhou Mao sat opposite Zhou Xiaomei with a bad smile.

Zhou Xiaomei immediately became disgusted with the fourth brother's words, waved her hand and frowned and said, "Go, you go and play!" Don't hang around in front of me all the time! I'm annoyed now!"

"Hey..." Zhou Mao smiled, turned his eyes, and stretched out his hand to play with the crushed purse.

"I know how you feel. Do you think I'm not uncomfortable? The third brother has been married twice! But what about me? I'm also young. Which one did my grandma or my parents give it to me? Isn't it just that the third brother has good grades? The gentleman of the college praised him a few words, and now he can't find the north!" The fourth brother of the Zhou family said angrily and picked up the purse and looked back and forth.

Zhou Xiaomei gave him a white look and angrily grabbed the shredded purse from Zhou Mao's hand.

"You are so eye-catching! If you have the ability, you can also learn from three! They are the first to go back to the exam! If you want me to say, it's a waste of money for your parents to go to school!" Zhou Xiaomei said coldly.

Zhou Mao's facial features immediately twisted together, and he squeezed his eyebrows and looked up and down at Zhou Xiaomei.

"Hey... don't pretend to be high here! Who in our family regards us as our own? You are still good to your third brother! A fool!" Zhou Mao said.

"Get out!" Zhou Xiaomei was angry.

"Don't be angry. Dad and grandma don't like us. Can we still not live? Not to mention anything else, grandma gave her second sister-in-law a hairpin that day and didn't give it to you. Are the palms and backs of hands full of meat? If you want to give, everyone has a share. Why is there only the second sister-in-law, but not yours? Zhou Mao raised his head and said.

This word was like a needle and suddenly pierced Zhou Xiaomei's heart. Zhou Xiaomen stood up, grabbed Zhou Mao's hand, and pulled him up vigorously.

"Get out, if you don't treat yourself as a human, I still regard myself as a human! If others chew their tongues, keep it slowly and don't have to tell me. I don't want to listen either. My room is dirty and I can't keep you as a clean person!" Zhou Xiaomei said angrily and pushed Zhou Mao out of the room.

Zhou Mao made Zhou Xiaomei angry. Over there, Zhou Miao and Zhou Fang sat in the room, sitting on the female red and looking out of the window.

"Hey! Did you see that the fourth brother made his little sister angry again. Look, someone has been pushed out again! This old four likes to sow discord every day! I'm afraid that others will say that he is not as good as the third brother!" Zhou Miao looked at the window excitedly and said.

Zhou Fang took a glance and lowered his head to sew the last stitch.

"That's what he does. He likes to mess with his little sister when he has nothing to do. Wait a minute, the little sister should complain, and the third brother has no good fruit to eat!" Zhou Fang said ambiguously.

Zhou Fang put down the soles of his hand and stretched out his waist. Zhou Miao's ambiguous blink of eyes, on her long face, the pair of eyes are like glass balls, always spinning around.

"My little sister came back to be fooled. Now that the third daughter-in-law married, can our mother-in-law scold him like that? Hey hey..." Zhou Miao asked.

"Have you forgotten the daughter-in-law who died before? If it hadn't been for my mother-in-law's shameless scolding, she would have vomited blood! Hey... he is also an unlucky person! Just put up with it!" Zhou Fangshi said.

"Cough..."

Zhou Miao and Zhou Fang were shocked that the voice was not made by them. The root of the wall is low, there is a person!

Song Keren was very bored in the room, and Zhou Heng recited Zhuangzi with a high and low sound. Song Keren didn't sleep all night. At this moment, his eyes seemed to have been filled with water, and they sank one after another. Zhou Heng's endorsement was like a ghost fire in her ear. She heard it for a while, but she couldn't hear it for a while.

Song Keren leaned against the head of the bed, intermittently drowsiness, like a cold. Zhou Heng is not a personal man. He is a student of Confucius. He only knows how to study sages all day long. If it were another man, her daughter-in-law would fall asleep and shut up obediently. Zhou Heng was a high-ranking competition.

Song Keyen wanted to lose something to smash Zhou Heng fiercely, but she was too lazy and just wanted to lean like this. Suddenly, someone shouted under the window, "Third sister, my father-in-law is going to wake up. Go and prepare the salt water!"

Zhou Heng's voice suddenly stopped, and Song Keren sat up from ** in a hurry.

"Ah, ah, what, I'll come!" Song Keyen said in panic.
