Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Yaoniang gasped at the same time.
Guanyuan Town was a bitter and cold place, not to mention the numerous displacements on the way to exile, and the poor living conditions in Guanyuan Town.
Even with the bandits and miasma in Yunzhou, whether they can reach Guanyuan Town alive may be a question mark.
When she thought that her family was going to that kind of place, Zhou Yaoniang was the first to cry.
"Mom, I don't want to go to that kind of place!" Zhou Yaoniang immediately expressed her reluctance.
"Good boy, don't be afraid, I won't let you go to that kind of place."
Hearing Zhou's words, Xu Tianyi only said, "Mother-in-law, why don't you give Yaoniang to me? If she marries me, won't she not have to be exiled?"
However, after hearing this, Zhou just glared at Xu Tianyi.
"You are really daydreaming. Do you think our family has reached this point and we have to marry our daughter to you? Stop daydreaming. Even if my daughter wants to marry, she will not marry a toad like you. , she is so beautiful, naturally there will be many people to marry her."
After saying this, Mrs. Zhou only warned Xu Tianyi, "Also, stay away from my family's affairs in the future, and stop prying into our family's affairs, let alone interfere with them, otherwise I will really kill you." Don’t blame me for being cruel if you throw me out.”
After being scolded by Mr. Zhou, Xu Tianyi naturally stopped saying anything.
Mrs. Zhou, on the other hand, directly took Zhou Yaoniang back to her room.
Although Zhou was speaking so firmly and her attitude was still arrogant, at this moment she was actually feeling very unsure.
After all, my sisters are unreliable, and my husband is going to be exiled to Yunzhou. If their whole family cannot be saved, they will all be exiled to Yunzhou.
She could forget it herself. She had lived to this age anyway. If she got through it, she would get through it. If she didn't, that would be it. But her mother-in-law couldn't be left in such a bitter and cold place.
What future is there for a place like that?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help crying secretly.
But when facing Zhou Yaoniang, she had to say to Zhou Yaoniang, "Yao Niang, it's okay. Mom still has a way. Don't worry, Mom will never let you go to that kind of place."
Zhou Yaoniang was frustrated when she heard this and said, "Mom, why don't I marry Xu Tianyi? Maybe he will be the top pick in high school and he can try to make money for you and your father, and our lives will be easier."
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, Mrs. Zhou was a little silent for a moment. She seemed to be considering the feasibility of it. Who would have thought that Ms. Zhou, who had previously said that she would never marry her daughter to that shabby scholar, was actually considering it now. The feasibility of this matter.
Realizing her compromise, Ms. Zhou immediately shook her head and said, "This won't work. It's still too risky. After all, we have only met Xu Tianyi a few times. Who knows what kind of person he is now, so Yaoniang , I can’t promise you this. Let’s try other methods. If we are really desperate, how about we consider this method?”
After hearing what Zhou said, Zhou Yaoniang naturally knew that her proposal was very risky.
What she is doing now is actually gambling on herself.
So Zhou Yaoniang just kept silent.
Then another night of silence.
The next day, when it was dark, Mrs. Zhou pulled Zhou Yaoniang up.
Zhou Yaoniang looked at her mother in confusion, "Mom, why did you get up so early?"
Mrs. Zhou looked at Zhou Yaoniang and then whispered, "We have to go to your grandfather's house today."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yaoniang just said in confusion, "But mother, didn't you say before that if we go back, my grandfather will definitely break your legs?"
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, Mr. Zhou said awkwardly, "I'm exaggerating. Your mother and I are his daughters after all. Now that his daughter and son-in-law are in trouble, he can't ignore it! You go to your grandfather's house then." It’s also good to get out of the limelight.”
Hearing Zhou's words, Zhou Yaoniang said nothing, "Can grandpa take care of our family's affairs?"
After a long time, Zhou Yaoniang said this in a low voice.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou immediately said, "It's impossible for your grandfather to ignore it. You are his only granddaughter."
Hearing Zhou's words, Zhou Yaoniang stopped talking. After the mother and daughter cleaned up, Zhou took Zhou Yaoniang with her and left the Zhou Mansion.
But before leaving, she could only see Xu Tianyi helping the servants in their home.
When the mother-in-law next to Zhou saw Zhou looking at Xu Tianyi, she couldn't help praising Xu Tianyi in a low voice, "Madam, this young man is very diligent. These days, he does whatever he can find."
When Zhou heard this, she obviously didn't buy it. She just snorted coldly and said, "If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing."
After leaving these words, Zhou turned around and walked away.
Zhou's natal family is in a small town near the outskirts of Beijing. Three generations of the family are crowded into a courtyard.
Her mother's family is prosperous, and Zhou's marriage is pretty good now, and her husband-in-law also contributes a lot to her mother's family.
Therefore, the Zhou family is actually a well-off family in this town.
However, the Zhou family has been in a miserable state these past few days because their son-in-law has been imprisoned and their youngest son has lost his official position and received a beating.
Zhou also dared to go home after hearing that her brother had been released from prison.
Otherwise, like her parents' precious son, she would really get beaten when she goes back.
Now that her brother is out, she can naturally go back to her parents' home as an excuse to see her brother.
However, even so, even if she went back this time, she didn't bring less things home, but her family still didn't have a good look when they saw Mrs. Zhou coming over.
Her sister-in-law was sitting on the doorstep teasing her little daughter. When she saw Mrs. Zhou coming, she immediately said in a sinister manner, "Hey! Our lucky star is back."
Mrs. Zhou didn't dare to argue when she saw this. At this moment in the Zhou family, she completely lost the same attitude of telling the truth in her own family.
Even though her sister-in-law was sarcastic, Mrs. Zhou could only laugh along and said, "Sister-in-law, my little brother is feeling better. I came here specially to see him."
Upon hearing what Zhou said, the sister-in-law continued, "Is he better? Are you asking if he is better? I can only say that he is not dead yet!"
After saying this, the sister-in-law ignored her. Then she just picked up her daughter and said, "Nanny, let's go! Let's go inside and play for a while! Let's not get killed by some people." .”
Even though the other party said this, Ms. Zhou couldn't show her face. She just held her daughter's hand, and then silently took her daughter's hand into the door of Zhou's house.
When Mrs. Zhou walked into the house, almost all the Zhou family members saw that Mrs. Zhou was back.
If it were in the past, they would have immediately run over and talked affectionately around Mrs. Zhou. After all, Mrs. Zhou would bring many benefits to her parents' family every time she went back. However, today they clearly saw Mrs. Zhou, but they all just treated her as if she didn't. Seeing Zhou's general.
Zhou could only approach her mother in embarrassment, "Mom, Yaoniang and I are back to see you and dad."
At this time, Zhou's mother was sowing the soybeans with a dustpan in the yard, her face covered with dust. Zhou's mother did not mock Zhou, but she just gave a lukewarm hum.
Seeing her mother's appearance, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but ask again, "Mom, is my brother okay now?"
However, when asked about her brother, Zhou's mother stopped talking.
When Mrs. Zhou was at a loss, Father Zhou in the room immediately rushed out with a broom when he saw Mr. Zhou coming back. "You still have the nerve to ask your brother! If it weren't for you, your brother Will those bad ideas turn out like this? You still have the nerve to come back and ask if your brother is okay. You are really going to piss me off."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou's father just raised the broom and rushed towards Zhou's direction.
If Zhou hadn't been able to hide quickly! Father Zhou's broom was probably going to fly into Mrs. Zhou's face.
At that time, Mrs. Zhou naturally did not dare to continue holding Zhou Yaoniang's hand. After all, Zhou's father's target was her, and Zhou's father wanted to pounce on her. If she did not let go of Zhou Yaoniang's hand, her father would continue to pounce on Zhou Yaoniang. Yaoniang will definitely be implicated as well.
Zhou Yaoniang was obviously stupid at this moment. Her mother shook her off, and she just looked dumbfounded.
Obviously she didn't expect that what her mother said was not an exaggeration at all, nor did she expect that her grandfather's family, who used to be kind to her, would act coldly or even indifferently when they saw her like this.
At this moment, her mother was running around the yard because of her grandfather's beating.
"Dad, you can't hit me like that! I am a mistress of the house now, and I am Yao'er's mother. If you hit me like this, where will my face be in the future!" Mrs. Zhou only shouted loudly.
Zhou's father was not polite at all, "Do you still remember that you are a matron? Why don't you look at the things you do now, do they look like things that a matron does? Your brother has also lost his job now, and his life is... You are still lying on the hospital bed, you are specifically trying to harm your family!"
Not wanting to hear Zhou's father's words, Mrs. Zhou immediately expressed her grievances, "Dad! I never thought that such a thing would happen to my brother! If you beat me like this, who should I blame! My husband is still in prison now." It’s in!”
After saying this, Mrs. Zhou felt aggrieved. Father Zhou chased for a while, but he seemed to be tired of chasing her.
Then he just said coldly, "Okay, don't say anything, just come in. Go see your brother and then come back and tell me your grievances."
Zhou actually felt better after hearing that her father was at least willing to say a few words to her.
After all, no matter how angry his father was, now that he had spoken out his words and vented his anger, it meant that his father actually still had some sympathy for him.
As long as she says a few nice words now, maybe her father can put this matter behind him.
As for the others, she looked at her mother.
Although my mother's face didn't look very good, she didn't even pay attention to herself just now.
