Chapter 61: Laughing at those who have nothing, hating those who have something

"Sister-in-law, come visit when you have time." Jin Xiuzhen didn't even go out the door, shouted in the outer room, and then snorted coldly, slamming the door shut, "I've never seen such a wicked person."

With a "squeak," Li Jiutang drank a sip of wine, "That old thing Zhou Banghua was smart for a lifetime, but he found such a stirrer as a daughter-in-law. I really don't know if God doesn't like him."

Zhao Quan sighed: "It is indeed suspicious that Zhou Andong suddenly brought home a large color TV."

Jin Xiuzhen said unhappily, "Regardless of whether it makes people suspicious, Zhao Guifen, as an aunt, reporting everywhere is not something a human can do!"

Li Jiutang picked up a peanut and tossed it into his mouth: "She just can't stand to see others doing well. More precisely, she doesn't want the second son's family to live better than hers. She mocks those who have nothing and hates those who have something. Zhou Andong bringing home a color TV has made her feel unbalanced and unhappy."

Zhao Yulan didn't go to work today. Jiang Yuyue didn't dare to come out, and only found an excuse to run out after lunch, going directly to Gu Bing's office at the winery.

"Brother Bing, isn't my brother-in-law here with you?"

Gu Bing leaned lazily against the chair and stretched, "He asked for leave and went back to Tanghezi."

"Ah?" Jiang Yuyue was stunned, "Is he coming tomorrow?"

Gu Bing asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Yuyue hesitated for a moment, "My dad wants to buy liquor, the ***-type."

"Is that it!" Gu Bing said, "You could have just told me, why find him?"

Jiang Yuyue said with a smile, "It's just a bit embarrassing."

Gu Bing also laughed, "Since you call me Brother Bing, I have to handle this for you. Besides, you did an advertisement for the liquor, and we didn't even give you advertising fees. Not to mention buying, even if you wanted it, we would have to give it to you."

Wild rabbit and pheasant plus potatoes were stewed in a pot for more than half. After it was stewed, Zhou Andong also connected the TV antenna, turned it on, and tuned it to the provincial channel, which was rebroadcasting the "Lulu, Woman and Well" from last night.

"Just watch this."

Yuan Liying hurriedly said, and then a smile appeared on her face, "I heard this TV series is very good."

"I'm back!" Zhou Anbei ran into the house, and was stunned when he saw Seeing Jian Qiu.

"My brother, Zhou Anbei." Zhou Andong glanced at Zhou Anbei. He didn't know where this kid had gone, his body was full of dirt, and there was a big tear in his sleeve.

"Xiao Bei, call her Sister Qiu!"

Seeing Jian Qiu smiled and reached out, "Hello, Xiao Bei!"

Zhou Anbei's face turned red, and he shook hands quickly, "Sister Qiu."

"Oh!" Zhou Andong teased, "You even know how to be shy."

Zhou Anbei's face turned even redder. Yuan Liying hurriedly relieved her youngest son, "Where did you go wild again? Look at you, go wash up, we're eating soon."

Zhou Anbei turned and went to the outer room, "Went to catch sparrows."

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Anning woke up, rubbed her eyes and ran over. She didn't even pay attention to Zhou Andong's call, stood in front of the TV and jumped and shouted, and was finally caught by Yuan Liying and put on the kang. Then she entangled with Seeing Jian Qiu. I don't know how they hit it off, but these two women, one big and one small, were sticky for the whole afternoon, and Seeing Jian Qiu didn't leave until it was dark.

Zhou Andong sent Seeing Jian Qiu out, "It's so late, eat dinner before leaving."

"My mom is here, I must go home for dinner, otherwise she will nag again." Seeing Jian Qiu shook her head, and then smiled, "This meal can be remembered, come over and eat when you have time, don't be unwelcoming then."

Zhou Andong said, "Since Director Jian gives me so much face, how could I not welcome you."

"Good, it's a deal." Seeing Jian Qiu got into the car, "I'm leaving."

Zhou Andong waved, "Drive slowly!"

Watching the 212 disappear at the end of the alley, Zhou Andong didn't return to the house, but lit a cigarette and wandered aimlessly. It's time to think about what to do.

Wandering around the village for an hour or so, the sky gradually darkened, and Zhou Andong walked home. Suddenly, a thin woman appeared in front, knocking on a back door.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The back door opened, and the woman said, "Sister, is there any rice at home? Borrow me a bowl."

"No, go look at another house." With a bang, the door closed.

The woman turned silently and walked to another house, knocking on the back door, "Brother Tan, is there any rice at home?"

"No, no!" Another bang, the door closed.

The woman knocked on more than a dozen houses, but didn't borrow a bowl of rice. She seemed to have lost her soul, walking in the cold wind, and without paying attention, she fell to the ground, and the bowl in her hand was smashed to pieces.

Time seemed to have stopped. After about ten seconds, the woman wailed loudly.

Zhou Andong walked over silently, squatted down, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

The woman stopped crying immediately, turned over and stood up. She didn't look at Zhou Andong, but hurriedly tidied her clothes and her meticulously combed hair. Thinking she had tidied up, she looked up at Zhou Andong.

"You... are you Zhou Andong?"

Zhou Andong nodded, "Is there no rice at home?"

The woman was silent. Zhou Andong didn't say much, "Follow me."

The woman didn't hesitate and followed behind. When she arrived at Zhou Andong's house, she didn't enter the yard, but stood at the gate. No matter what Zhou Andong said, she wouldn't enter the yard.

"I, I am an ominous person, I can't enter your yard."

"Alright, wait here." Zhou Andong sighed, entered the house and asked, "Mom, how much rice do we have left?"

Yuan Liying asked, "What for?"

Zhou Andong said, "I met Liu Yahang's wife."

Yuan Liying was stunned, and then reacted, "Her family ran out of food again."

Zhou Andong nodded. Yuan Liying didn't say anything, got off the kang and put on her shoes, found two plastic bags, one filled with three or four pounds of cornmeal, and one filled with two pounds of sorghum rice.

"She is a pitiful woman, but our family can only give her this much." Yuan Liying gave the rice and cornmeal to Zhou Andong, and found a small basin, filled it with the rabbit meat, chicken meat, and potatoes stewed at noon, "Give her two children something to satisfy their cravings."

Zhou Andong said, "Aren't you afraid she will bring disaster to our family?"

Yuan Liying rolled her eyes, "If God had eyes, your dad wouldn't have had a car accident."

Zhou Andong laughed, took the things and went out of the house, "Xiao Bei!"

Zhou Anbei came out of the side room, "Brother, what's up?"

Zhou Andong said, "There is a roe deer in the snow pile, take it out."

"Okay!" Zhou Anbei found the roe deer in the snow pile and carried it to the gate.

Zhou Andong handed the rice and the small basin to the woman, and took out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket, "Here is ten yuan, take it."

"I don't want it!" The woman refused without hesitation.

"If you don't want it, how will you spend this New Year? If you don't think for yourself, you have to think for the two children." Zhou Andong stuffed the money into the woman's pocket.

With a "thud," the woman knelt down to Zhou Andong. This startled Zhou Andong, and he hurriedly helped her up, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

The woman's tears flowed down, "Dongzi, your great kindness, sister-in-law will never forget it in this life."

Zhou Andong said, "Brother Yahang will be out soon."

The woman smiled miserably, "He was sentenced to eighteen years."

"Believe me, he will be out in less than half a year." Zhou Andong looked up at the sky, "Because, the sky is about to change." ===== CHAPTER 62 =====
