Zhang Dachuan's house is at the back of the village, with only four tile-roofed houses, a dilapidated yard and three old willow trees outside the yard.
He has little memory of his parents, except that they were both killed in a car accident when he was two years old.
Grandma was left alone to raise him.
A year ago, his grandmother passed away due to illness. Zhang Xutao, his distant cousin from the same village, took the initiative to take care of Zhang Dachuan.
Everyone in the village knows that Zhang Xutao is a bad person who loves gambling.
With his character, he took the initiative to take care of Zhang Dachuan, so he naturally coveted the orchard left by his grandma.
Soon, Zhang Xutao, as the only relative in Zhang Dachuan village, successfully obtained the orchard left by his grandmother.
After getting it, he didn't take care of Zhang Dachuan. Instead, he punched and kicked him at every turn, hoping that this fool would die quickly.
Later, he used the money from selling the orchard to marry Jiang Wantong, a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law who was envied by everyone in the village.
When the two got married, it caused a huge sensation in Qianqian Village. Many people from the town and county came here to admire the marriage.
Zhang Dachuan still remembers his surprise when he saw his sister-in-law for the first time when they got married. It was the first time in his life that he saw such a beautiful woman.
Especially those eyes that are like autumn water. Although they are bright and moving, they are full of unwillingness and sadness towards fate.
Zhang Dachuan originally thought that his sister-in-law would despise him as a fool like Zhang Xutao, but he never expected that since he got married, she would take care of him in every possible way, like a biological sister.
After getting married, Zhang Xutao was still as poor as before and lost his house in less than half a year, and he and his sister-in-law were forced to move into the tile-roofed house of Zhang Dachuan's family.
Half a month ago, Zhang Xutao was so jealous of losing that he beat someone seriously in a casino and was immediately arrested and sentenced.
When Zhang Xutao was not at home, his sister-in-law had always worked hard to take care of his daily life. Although the two of them lived in poverty, they could comfort each other like relatives.
It can be said that without his sister-in-law's careful care in the past two years, he would have starved to death in the village.
Recalling all the kindness his sister-in-law had done to him, Zhang Dachuan could not help but secretly decide in his heart that now that he had obtained the inheritance of the Fox Fairy, he must let his sister-in-law live a good life in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dachuan strode towards the house with expectation.
As soon as he reached the door, he heard the sound of rushing water coming from the house.
"Is there a flood at home?"
Zhang Dachuan felt nervous and hurriedly opened the door and went in.
Suddenly, he felt the water vapor in the room rushing towards his face, making it difficult for him to open his eyes.
When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but look ahead with his eyes wide open.
I saw a large bathtub in the middle of the room. The bathtub was surrounded by hot water vapor. In the water vapor, a hazy figure was wiping his graceful body with a hot towel.
Zhang Dachuan recognized at a glance that it was his sister-in-law Jiang Wantong.
Sister-in-law, is she here?
Gulu!
Although the two have lived together for almost a year, this was the first time he saw his sister-in-law take a shower.
No, I have to get out quickly. If my sister-in-law finds me, how will I face her in the future?
Zhang Dachuan was about to turn around and leave.
In his desperation, he forgot that there was a washbasin in front of his house every day for washing his hands.
Bang!
Following a crisp sound, Zhang Dachuan froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
At the same time, Jiang Wantong couldn't care about anything else and immediately hid in the big bathtub and turned around and asked:
"who?"
Facing his sister-in-law's gaze, Zhang Dachuan knew that he could not avoid it, so he rubbed the back of his head and said with an embarrassed smile:
"Sister-in-law, it's me."
Hearing this, my sister-in-law replied nervously:
"It's you, Dachuan, why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
Remembering that she was bumped into by Zhang Dachuan just now, Jiang Wantong couldn't help but blush on her face.
Although after getting along with him for a year, she knew that Zhang Dachuan was just a fool, but after all, Zhang Dachuan was still an adult man.
Thinking of this, she asked softly:
"Dachuan, did you just come back?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dachuan immediately replied:
"Well, I just got back."
The sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief. He had just come back, so he probably didn't see anything and was overthinking it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Zhang Dachuan with concern and said:
"Dachuan, you must be hungry. Just wait a moment, and my sister-in-law will give you a bowl of noodles."
Looking at his sister-in-law's concerned eyes, Zhang Dachuan felt extremely ashamed.
Just when he was hesitating whether to admit his mistake to his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law Jiang Wantong blushed again and said softly:
"Dachuan, you go out first and let me change clothes first."
Zhang Dachuan reacted and quickly replied:
"well."
As he was about to walk out of the house, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door.
At the same time, an old voice came:
"Wantong, are you at home?"
Hearing the sound, the expressions of Zhang Dachuan and his sister-in-law in the room changed drastically.
The visitor turned out to be Zhang Xutao's mother, Feng Cuifen, Jiang Wantong's mother-in-law.
What would she think if she saw what the two people in the room looked like now?
The next second, Jiang Wantong looked at Zhang Dachuan in panic and said:
"Okawa, hurry up, hide in the closet."
Only then did Zhang Dachuan react and immediately hid in a nearby closet.
As soon as he entered the closet, Feng Cuifen opened the door and walked into the room.
Feng Cuifen is short in stature and has a pair of triangular eyes. She is a well-known mean woman in the village.
Seeing the water vapor and the big bathtub all over the room, she suddenly felt dissatisfied:
"This bitch, my son has just been sentenced, and she has cleaned herself up so well. Is she planning to sell her out?"
Although she thought so in her heart, she greeted with a smile on her face:
"Wantong, have you eaten?"
The reason why her attitude was different from the previous one was because she came to Jiang Wantong today with a plan.
Hearing this, Jiang Wantong smiled and replied:
"Not yet, Mom. I'm just about to finish washing and cook. If you're free, you can stay here and eat together later."
Feng Cuifen shook her head slightly and said:
"I have eaten it. I heard that you have been feeling uncomfortable with your stomach recently. I specially got a dose of Chinese medicine from Dr. Li at the village medical center. I have prepared it for you. If you drink it while it is hot, you will definitely be fine."
With that said, Feng Cuifen took out a black medicine jar from her arms, walked to the coffee table, picked up the water cup and poured all the black liquid in the medicine jar into it.
Then he picked up the water glass and handed it to Jiang Wantong.
Facing the pungent black Chinese medicine in the water glass, Jiang Wantong declined politely:
"Mom, my stomach is healed now, you don't have to worry."
Her gastrointestinal discomfort happened three days ago, and it's gone now.
Hearing this, Feng Cuifen's face immediately turned cold:
"It's a gift from your elders, and you can't refuse it. I've drank this medicine before, and it's very effective. I guarantee that you won't have any gastrointestinal problems in the future."
Seeing this, Jiang Wantong couldn't help but brush Feng Cuifen's face, so she had to endure the pungent smell and drink all the Chinese medicine in one breath.
Seeing Jiang Wantong finish drinking, Feng Cuifen showed a satisfied smile.
She said slowly:
"Wantong, I came to see you today because I have other things to do."
Hearing this, Jiang Wantong immediately replied:
"Mom, if you need anything, just ask."
Feng Cuifen nodded, paused, and revealed her true intention:
"Wantong, it's been almost a year since you got married to my Xu Tao. During this year, I've been hoping that you could add a son and a half to the family, but after all this time, there's been no sign of it."
