Chapter 336

When she learned that her husband not only did not come to look for her during the day and night she was away from home, but also continued to have an affair with Widow Liu the next day as if nothing had happened, the mason's wife was heartbroken.

What made her even more heartbroken was that her husband and Widow Liu were tied naked under a pine tree in the center of the village. The whole village knew about his affair with Widow Liu, and now she could no longer hide it even if she wanted to.

"...Why? Why are you doing this to me?"

She fell to the ground, muttering to herself. Her hand with two broken fingers touched the ground. It hurt, but not as much as the pain she felt in her heart.

"Mom, stop being in a daze, Dad is still waiting for you to take care of him!"

Zhou Yaozu complained a few words, and seeing that his mother was still sitting on the ground and didn't want to get up, he simply reached out to pull her up, and the hand he pulled happened to be the one with two broken fingers.

She cried out in pain.

Zhou Yaozu thought she was deliberately making trouble, so he glanced at Widow Liu and said with a deliberately stern face, "Mom, if you keep making trouble like this, don't blame me for not helping you. Dad wants to bring Aunt Liu into the family, but my brother and I disagree. If you keep doing this, we'll have to reconsider it!"

"what?"

"What do you mean?" the mason's wife asked with a blank face. Could it be what she thought?

Zhou Yaozu looked embarrassed. "Mom, you have to understand. Although Aunt Liu's husband is dead, she is from an honest family after all. If she and my dad were seen naked like today, and my dad didn't marry her, she would be drowned by the villagers' saliva sooner or later, so."

He took a deep breath and said, "So we decided to let Aunt Liu marry into the family and let her serve my father together with you, mother, regardless of age."

After hearing what her filial son said, the mason's wife fainted, while her eldest daughter-in-law secretly rolled her eyes, picked up her son and went into her own room, ignoring her mother-in-law on the ground.

Two days later, Chen Dongzhi and the two brothers from the Zhong family came to Yangliu Village as usual. They found a corner where the Zhou brothers often walked and squatted there for the whole morning.

Although they only captured the eldest son of the Zhou family, they barely completed the mission. The three of them withdrew after completing their mission, leaving behind Zhou Guangzong who was beaten to death.

How Zhou Guangzong was discovered later and how things got into chaos in Zhou the Nijiang's family, all these things had nothing to do with Zhong Ruyi.

At this moment, she was hugging Zhong's mother's waist and acting coquettishly. Ever since the child told her that day that this body was hers and there was no difference between the original owner and the unoriginal owner, she suddenly felt a sense of secret joy in her heart that she was not an orphan and was not unwanted by anyone.

"Mom, I want to eat the steamed cake that my sister-in-law made during the Chinese New Year. I haven't eaten it for a long time. I suddenly miss it."

How could Zhong's mother disagree? She agreed without hesitation, "But I'm not as good as your sister-in-law, so don't look down on me for not doing a good job."

Although I feel that my daughter has become more fond of acting like a spoiled child recently, she obviously likes it, and the relationship between mother and daughter is even better than before.

During the period when she was injured, not only Zhong's mother, but also Chen's mother often came over. Zhong Ruyi still had some alienation towards her, but her mother said that after she fainted that day, Chen's mother was extremely brave. She went up and slapped the person who hit her twice, and even tried to hit her with a stone, but fortunately she was stopped by someone.

Now Chen's mother brought over a big bowl filled with freshly stewed pig brains.

As soon as she saw the bowl, she thought of the fishy smell of pig brains. Her heart was pounding and she wanted to shake her head to refuse, but Zhong's mother had already accepted it for her. "Today's stewed brains are ready. Come and eat it, my daughter. Don't waste your mother-in-law's hard work!"

Zhong Ruyi was really touched by her mother-in-law's kindness, but the brain stew she made was not tasty! It was fishy and smelly, and she found it difficult to swallow every time.

But looking at her mother-in-law's expectant eyes, she gritted her teeth and finished it.

She has been recuperating at home these days, and the affairs of the workshop and the fruit trees on the mountain have been left to Li Guihua and Ji Jiang.

Finally, after the bump on her head disappeared, Chen Dongzhi, Zhong's mother and others agreed to let her go out for a walk.

At the entrance of the workshop, the housekeeper sent by Madam Yu was packing canned food. When he saw her coming, he smiled and greeted her, "Miss Zhong, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been recently?"

Zhong Ruyi: "Not bad. Why don't you see Miss Caiyun who came last time? I promised her that I would pick some apples for her when they are ripe."

Hearing this, the housekeeper's eyes narrowed with laughter. Caiyun was his youngest daughter, who had been serving Madam Yu since she was a child.

I guess she mentioned it when she came here with the lady last time. The most important thing is that Miss Zhong was thinking about it and took the initiative to bring it up.

"Thank you Miss Zhong for your concern. The child caught a cold some time ago and has not dared to leave the house recently. I will tell her when I get back. Thank you for your concern."

The people who came had already loaded the carriage with the thousand cans of canned food that the Yu family needed this month. Zhong Ruyi packed two baskets of apples that she had just secretly picked from the space and gave them to the housekeeper, "One basket for Miss Caiyun, and one basket for Madam Yu to try."

The butler accepted it after thanking him with a smile. The carriage rumbled on the road. Zhong Ruyi squinted and looked for a while, then was called back by Chen Dongzhi who came over.

"Why did you come out? Did you take the medicine?"

Zhong Ruyi gets a headache when talking about medicine. It’s not that she is delicate, but the medicine is too bitter. She feels like vomiting every time she drinks it.

The two of them walked slowly home and stayed at home for another two days. She suddenly remembered that Chen Dongzhi had not been out escorting during the days since she was injured. She was a little surprised, "Isn't the escort agency busy?"

Mingmingly, her third brother came to see her a few days ago and said that he had to go to Jixiang Town to escort the goods. She also asked him to help find Boss Wang and tell him that the apples were ripe.

Chen Dongzhi pursed his lips and said, "If I'm not by your side, what if something happens to you again?"

Zhong Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "You idiot, who can get into trouble every day? There are so many people in the village, who can watch me get into trouble? Besides, can't I run away?"

She reached out and pinched the man's face, which was soft and not as cold as she appeared. "You don't have to stay at home to watch over me. Go ahead and feel free!"

"Really?" Chen Dongzhi looked at her, thought about it and said, "Why don't you go back to live with your parents-in-law? I'll feel more at ease if someone takes care of you."

This was a great relationship. Zhong Ruyi was so happy that she agreed without hesitation. On the third day, when her man packed his clothes to go out, she also took some of her own clothes and went back to her parents' home.

On the day Chen Dongzhi went out, he happened to meet Zhong Laosan who came back, and he brought back a Boss Wang and several of his subordinates.

"Hahahaha! I'm here at the right time!" Boss Wang walked forward with a laugh.

The two stood face to face at the door of the workshop and talked for a few words. He then couldn't wait to see how the apples were growing.

Helplessly, Zhong Ruyi could only take the anxious Boss Wang up the mountain.

Ever since the fruits began to bear, Zhong Dabao and Ji Jiang built a thatched house on the mountain and became neighbors with the uncle who raised chickens.

Nearly six hundred fruit trees, with several maturity periods, ensure that fresh apples are available year-round.
