Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 240 Sister-in-law

Zhou Guoqiang gradually realized the benefits of being a village cadre. More and more people rushed to greet him and hand him cigarettes to smoke. Instead of being affected, his business became more prosperous. He received an extra salary every month. He seemed to be unaware of it. Juezhong has also become the number one figure in the village!

The eldest brother, Zhou Guofu, saw that his brother was getting better and better as he got better and better, and felt that he was getting better and better. Isn't his brother's family as good as his own?

Shen Huafeng's thoughts are completely different from Zhou Guofu's. She always feels that her family is being squeezed again. There was a lot of muttering behind his back, which made Zhou Guofu have a headache.

Women’s nagging is really terrible. Why don’t men want to argue with women? Just because replying will lead to more nagging. Therefore, Zhou Guofu wisely chose to turn a deaf ear. Anyway, she was talking alone and no one spoke to her, so she stopped for a while.

However, since the second child has become a village cadre, of course he has to have a better relationship with the couple. Shen Huafeng thinks that he is the most aware of current affairs. Of course, he would not miss the opportunity to get close to Zhou Guoqiang and his wife.

Shen Huafeng visited Zhou Guoqiang's house from time to time, and sometimes helped Zhao Yuzhen when she saw him busy. Sometimes the farm work in Zhao Yuzhen's field is too busy, so Shen Huafeng takes the initiative to help in the field.

Even if he knew that Shen Huafeng was deliberately showing favor to Zhao Yuzhen, he had to accept it. Besides, they were brothers themselves, so if they had any opinions behind their back, they would not reveal it to their faces.

 So, the relationship between the two families became harmonious again.

Since the last time they built a building and caused trouble in the boundary, Zhao Yuzhen and Shen Huafeng's conversation has been tepid and a little cold, and they always feel knotty in their hearts. Thinking about it makes me panic. Even Zhou Guoqiang is a little dissatisfied with the boss Zhou Guofu.

The relationship between the two families has been at such a stalemate for the past two or three years. It was not until Shen Huafeng took the initiative to express his goodwill that it eased.

 Shen Huafeng cooked a few dishes in the evening and asked Zhou Guofu to call Zhou Guoqiang and his wife over for dinner.

Zhao Yuzhen couldn't refuse, so she went with Zhou Guoqiang and Erya to have dinner. After Erya finished eating, she went home to do her homework.

Brothers Zhou Guofu and Zhou Guoqiang drank and chatted. It had been a long time since the two brothers had talked to each other so heart-to-heart. From childhood memories to the present, they sighed when they thought about the passage of time.

 Zhao Yuzhen and Shen Huafeng chatted every now and then. This sister-in-law is certainly different from her brother. People say that brothers are like brothers whose bones are broken but the tendons are still connected. This is true at all. Zhou Guofu and Zhou Guoqiang have put aside that unpleasantness long ago.

But Zhao Yuzhen still felt a little uncomfortable no matter how much she smiled on her face. Shen Huafeng pretended that nothing had happened and kept talking to Zhao Yuzhen. On the surface, the two of them were quite affectionate sisters, but they were worried about what they were thinking in their hearts. It's not revealing anything.

Shen Huafeng sighed: "Xiaoxia didn't come back for several weeks after going to kindergarten. Haizi was also a freshman in high school. After dinner, he hid in his room and didn't know what he was doing. As children get older, things get worse and worse. It’s getting harder to manage.”

Zhao Yuzhen echoed: "Yes, the children are quite mature now, and sometimes I really don't know what they are thinking. My eldest child is already eighteen years old and is about to become a young man. The children are growing up day by day and we are getting older!"

 The sisters-in-law finally found a common topic to talk about, and it was quite speculative.

Shen Huafeng is very proud of her daughter Zhou Xiaoxia. Her beautiful daughter has been admitted to a kindergarten teacher and will graduate in a little more than a year. She will then become a kindergarten teacher by her side. Shen Huafeng is happy when she thinks of this.

After hearing Shen Huafeng talk about how her Xiaoxia was doing, Zhao Yuzhen naturally did not show weakness and began to praise her daughter Zhou Xiaoyun: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be polite when speaking in front of this family. Among the several children in my family, the eldest daughter is the oldest." It goes without saying that we have good grades and are sensible and capable. We have never been bothered by renting a house in the city to study. Now Xiaobao and Daya only go home once a week, and Dabao only goes home once a week. Come home. I have been looking forward to it all day long, when the children come back, it will be great to have a lively and happy family together!"

 When it comes to Zhou Xiaoyun and Shen Huafeng, I have to sincerely praise them a few words.

By the time he got home in the evening, Zhou Guoqiang was tongue-tied and could hardly speak. The boss, Zhou Guofu, also drank too much and was probably not much better than him.

Zhou Guoqiang's biggest problem is that he likes to talk non-stop when he is drunk. Zhao Yuzhen was so annoyed that she had a headache and urged him to go to bed.

Zhao Yuzhen thought to herself that Zhou Guoqiang should not be allowed to drink anymore in the near future. He would have to sleep until the next day when he was drunk, and sometimes he couldn't wake up in the morning. Drinking would affect his work!

Zhou Fang heard that her second brother had become a village cadre and was happy for her brother. She got on her bicycle and went to Zhou Guoqiang’s house.

Zhou Guoqiang and Zhou Fang have always had a good relationship. Zhou Guoqiang was very happy to see Zhou Fang here. After the brother and sister chatted for a while, Zhou Guoqiang answered the phone and went out to deliver meat. Before leaving, Zhou Guoqiang asked Zhou Fang to have dinner at home at noon.

Zhou Fang refused: "Okay, I just came back to take a look. My second sister-in-law is already busy selling meat at the vegetable market. It would be embarrassing to ask her to come back to cook for me. I'd better go home. I have to I’m cooking for Xiaolei to eat!”

 Zhou Guoqiang was busy going out, so he had to go home with Zhou Fang.

Zhao Yuzhen only heard about Zhou Fang's arrival at noon and complained about Zhou Guoqiang: "You are the same. It's rare for the child's aunt to come here. Why don't you leave her here to have a meal before leaving?"

Zhou Guoqiang was also helpless: "You are at the market, and I have to go out to deliver meat. There is no one at home, how can you let me keep her to eat? I have said it a long time ago, let's just remove the stalls in the market. It’s so busy that I don’t even have a housekeeper at home.”

Erya raised her hand and said: "I can look after the house."

 Zhou Guoqiang stared: "Don't you need to go to school?"

Erya giggled, that’s what she said, she really didn’t want to look after the house.

Zhao Yuzhen immediately shut up when she saw Zhou Guoqiang brought up this troublesome issue for her. Anyway, she was reluctant to stop the pork business in the market. In this half day, I can sometimes make dozens of dollars, sometimes more than a hundred dollars!

Zhou Guoqiang also had nothing to do with Zhao Yuzhen. No matter how hard she said it, she didn't agree. In fact, the business just based on the wholesale pork business was already very impressive, but she couldn't bear the wasted money every day and refused to stop the business.

What else can Zhou Guoqiang do? Let her do it. She just wants to make more money!

Zhou Xiaoyun, Xiaobao and Dabao’s three children are all studying in the city, and the monthly living expenses are increasing, which is not a small amount. Besides, when children get older, they have to buy better clothes and shoes than before, and money is needed everywhere. No wonder Zhao Yuzhen would rather work harder and continue the business.

 Zhao Yuzhen is actually thinking very long-term. Dabao will graduate in more than a year, and then he won’t need to bear the burden from his family. But with such good grades, Zhou Xiaoyun is still sure to go to college. The tuition fee will be a lot of money, and now he has to save money for his children.

 There is also Xiaobao!

 So, if you don’t make money well, what will happen?
