Chapter 166

After sending Zhong Ruyi away, Aunt Wu turned around and slapped her daughter again, "Look at you, and then look at her. Although she was a little stupid before, you see she has rented a store in town to do business now. She earns much more than us who work in the fields. I don't ask you to be as capable as her to make money, I just ask you to find a good family to marry."

Zhong Qingqing didn't expect that the girl who just left was so capable, but she was confident that if she had the money to rent a store in town to do business, it wouldn't necessarily be that bad.

She looked unconvinced, "Mom, if you like a girl like this, I can do it too. If you give me money, I will go to the town to do business. I guarantee that I will make more money than her! Mom, I have an idea. If you give me money, I will go to the town to do business. When I make money, I will bring you and dad to the town to enjoy life!"

Sun Huaxiang couldn't help but said, "Little sister, you want to use the family's money to do business, but the money in this family is not earned by you, and you haven't made any contribution to the family over the years. Why do you want it just because you want it?"

Zhong Qingqing's eyes were blazing with fire. "What does it have to do with you? Even though the money in the family is not mine, what does it have to do with you? Mother is willing to give it to me, what do you want?"

“…” Aunt Wu, when did she say she would give it to you?

What the eldest daughter-in-law said was right. The money in this family was all earned by the two sons and herself and her husband through hard work. We can't just give it to her if she wants to start a business.

If she really gave it to him, this family would be over sooner or later. She had long seen clearly that the main reason why her youngest daughter couldn't get along with her two daughters-in-law at home was because of her youngest daughter.

Although they are her own children, she cannot be partial to them, otherwise the two daughters-in-law will become disenchanted sooner or later, and she doesn't know how she will be dealt with when she is old.

Zhong Ruyi didn't know what happened in Aunt Wu's house after she left. When she returned home, her third brother had already returned and was sitting in the yard with a guilty look on his face.

She walked up to him curiously and asked him what was wrong?

Zhong Laosan glanced at his younger sister, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Zhong Ruyi asked him patiently, "Third brother, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go to see Brother Dongzhi? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost when you come back?"

"Alas!" Zhong Laosan scratched his hair with a sad face, "Little sister, when I went to see Brother Dongzhi just now, his face was very swollen. It didn't look like he was fine as you said."

I didn't expect that the third brother was actually worried about this. "Third brother, it will be fine in a few days. It's just a bee sting. It won't disfigure you. If you feel bad about it, just go to his house and help with the chores in the next few days."

"Haven't you ever been stung by a bee before?"

Zhong Laosan shook his head. "I have never been stung by a bee before. If he was stung on the hand, it would be ok, but he was stung on the face, it looks serious."

He was a little scared when he saw it. His eyes were so swollen that only a slit was left.

He looked at his hands again, and they seemed to be swollen too, just like the pig's trotters he ate during the Chinese New Year.

However, he injured his hand and Chen Dongzhi injured his face, so the two are not comparable.

If Zhong Ruyi hadn't gone to see him, she would have been frightened by his words, but she had already sent ice packs and ointment, and she believed that he would be healed in a few days.

She patted Zhong Laosan's shoulder and said, "Third brother, if helping him can relieve your psychological burden, then go ahead. Don't suppress yourself too much. The fact that you feel so guilty shows that you have a conscience!"

So in the following days, Zhong Laosan would run over to help whenever he was free, either chopping wood, fetching water or feeding the rabbits.

Jiang Qin either followed Zhong Ruyi to visit the chicken farm or followed Chen Dongzhi to the rabbit house. After a few days, he became tanned, but he looked energetic and smiled more often.

Chen Dongzhi's face had lost a lot of weight by the third day. It looked horrible on the first and second days.

Now that his face has almost recovered, he dares to come to see Zhong Ruyi.

Behind the house, Zhong Ruyi was watering the seeds sown by her sister-in-law when she heard footsteps behind her. She thought it was Cuicui and the others, so she didn't turn around.

Unexpectedly, the spray bottle in her hand was taken away. She turned around and saw that it was Chen Dongzhi whose face had completely healed.

"Brother Dongzhi, how come you have time to come here? Didn't my third brother say he wanted to go up the mountain with you?"

Chen Dongzhi's eyes were gentle, "Let's go up the mountain tonight."

His face was very swollen a few days ago. Ruyi came to see him several times. She felt very distressed at first, but as the number of times increased, she didn't know why she would suddenly laugh out loud while watching him.

When asked what made her laugh she refused to tell him. He felt depressed and thought that it was because his face was swollen and ugly that she laughed. Although he felt depressed, it was a comfort to see her laughing so happily.

In the evening, Chen Dongzhi took Zhong Laosan and Zhong Laoda, and the three of them went into the mountains. They would be gone for several days.

Each person carried a bag filled with dry food and five water bags filled with water.

"Brother Dongzhi, you three should be careful when hunting in the mountains. If you encounter any danger, run away quickly." She remembered that Mother Zhong had said before that there were tigers in the mountains many years ago.

I haven't heard anyone say this in recent years, but you still have to be careful.

Chen Dongzhi put on his bag and water bag, "Okay, we won't go too far this time, we should be back in about two or three days."

After watching the three people leave, Zhong Ruyi returned to her room. Cuicui was lying on the bed, looking at her with her eyes open. The little girl suddenly asked, "Aunt, when are you going to get married?"

Zhong Ruyi paused, looked at Cuicui who was full of curiosity, and said with a bit of amusement, "I don't know who was crying and shouting that I couldn't get married before? Let me think who it was."

Cuicui sat up suddenly, a little embarrassed and annoyed, "Aunt, why are you like this? When someone asked you a question, you ignored them and even made fun of them!"

Seeing her face turn red with laughter, Zhong Ruyi put away his joking expression and said, "It should be another one or two years, I'm not sure."

If the relationship really reached the point where they could get married, then she could accept it. Anyway, Chen Dongzhi was her type. He was not clingy, but was hardworking and diligent. More importantly, he was good to her, and they both liked each other.

Cuicui looked thoughtful, and Zhong Ruyi asked her what was wrong?

She shook her head. "I thought my aunt would be like Xiaozhu's cousin. I remember Xiaozhu told me that her cousin was going to meet someone else, and then not long after that, her cousin got married. My aunt, I can't bear to leave you!"

"I can't bear to leave you either! My Cuicui!"

The aunt and niece hugged each other, and Zhong Ruyi took out a bunch of grapes from the quilt and handed it to Cuicui.

Cuicui's eyes lit up, "Aunt, why do you still have this fruit? I thought we had eaten all the ones at home."

Zhong Ruyi said without any guilt, "I left this for you specially, don't tell anyone else."

"Aunt, you are so nice!"
