I just want to live a happy life

Zhou Yong and Li Qiuju kicked open the door where Zhou Kerou was sleeping, and then stood there motionless.

There was no one in Zhou Kerou's room and her belongings were gone.

After searching outside for a while and not seeing anyone, he had to accept the fact that Zhou Kerou had stolen the money from home and ran away.

So the two of them went to find the village chief.

The village chief frowned and looked at the two men with a stern face: "How could this person disappear out of nowhere? Did you look for him somewhere else?"

Li Qiuju was anxious, of course not because of Zhou Kerou, but because of the money she took away. That was her life. She saved for several years and only had 200 yuan.

As a result, all her money was taken away by that dead girl. When that dead girl comes back, she will make sure she is in trouble.

Li Qiuju thought hatefully in her heart.

"We have searched everywhere that girl went, but we can't find her. Village chief, what should we do?"

The village chief didn't have a good face towards these two people. He had seen Zhou Kerou several times. She was very skinny and had endless work to do every day.

He also advised them to treat the child well, but the two of them always agreed but never listened. He thought that now that Zhou Kerou had disappeared, they didn't want to be abused anymore.

What's going on with this couple? How come they are so different even though they were born to the same mother? The two brothers are both promising, but Zhou Yong is still hanging around in the village.

Before, I relied on my parents and brothers, and now I rely on my wife and children.

Now is not the time to criticize them. Let’s find the child first. What if he encounters danger?

The village chief mobilized the villagers to look for him, but they couldn't find him after a whole day. They had no choice but to report to the police.

After the police arrived, they found out the reason for Zhou Kerou's disappearance. It turned out that she was beaten and ran away with the money.

After knowing the reason, every villager present despised them.

Even with the help of the police, they still couldn't find him.

Zhou Jianguo and Ma Xiaohua, who occasionally returned to the village, found out about this. Seeing that they were only worried about money and not the children, they were very disappointed and never cared about them again from then on.

After returning to the city, the two elders told the eldest and third sons about this matter, hoping that they could find the girl Zhou Kerou.

Although there were conflicts in the past, Zhou Kerou was her niece after all, so she agreed.

Qingyue was secretly paying attention to everything that happened in the village, she knew everything.

It was miserable for Zhou Kerou to be treated like that by her parents, but what did it have to do with her?

She knew Zhou Kerou's current situation, but she didn't want to find her back. If she found her back, she might live under her nose, which she couldn't stand.

Things were not as developed as they will be in the future, so it was not easy to find someone. And with Qingyue covering her up, she was not able to find him in the end.

Qingyue has been busy with her career, but after getting on track and having reliable and trustworthy people to manage her, she has more personal time.

She will learn new things, spend time with her children, travel with her husband and children, and live a fulfilling life.

Later, when the child grew up, he took over Zhou Yan and her career.

She and Zhou Yan also let go and let him do it on his own. Yangyang was not stupid and had studied for so many years. With her and Zhou Yan's guidance, he took charge of the situation quickly.

And under his leadership, her company and Zhou Yan's company were also slowly moving forward.

After that, the couple relaxed and had time to think about where to go for fun.

Once, after arriving in a city, Qingyue felt thirsty during the tour, so Zhou Yan got off the car to buy her some water.

She sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside. There was a cool breeze blowing, which made her feel particularly comfortable.

When people passing by saw Qingyue, they couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Although Qingyue is now over 40 years old, she has been using her homemade skin care products to maintain her appearance. She lives a comfortable life and now looks like she is just 30 years old. Every move she makes is elegant and charming.

There was not a single wrinkle on her face. She had her hair tied up today with a delicate hairpin, wore retro clothes, and had exquisite makeup on.

She has become accustomed to the surprised looks some people give her.

At this time, Qingyue's attention was focused on a woman not far away. The woman was wearing tattered clothes and rummaging through garbage in a trash can.

She took a few bottles out of the trash can and put them in a bag next to her, then limped in one direction carrying the bag full of plastic bottles.

"Wife, what are you looking at?" At this time, Zhou Yan came back with a bottle of water in his hand.

Qingyue took it and saw that the bottle cap had been unscrewed. She drank a few sips of water and then said, "It's okay. I think the scenery here is pretty good."

Zhou Yan placed the water on the small table beside him, took Qingyue in his arms, held Qingyue's hand with one hand, and said gently: "If you like it, then we will stay here for a few more days."

Qingyue smiled and did not refuse: "Okay."

The car started moving. Qingyue and Zhou Yan sat in the back seat and drove farther and farther away. The two talked intimately and soon the car drove away.

When Qingyue saw the woman, she realized that person was Zhou Kerou.

Earlier, after learning that Zhou Kerou's life was miserable, she had not paid any attention to her, but she did not expect to see her here.

Zhou Kerou had no idea that the people sitting in the car passing by her were her third uncle and aunt.

As usual, she carried the bottles she picked up to the recycling station, and she only sold the big bag of garbage for three dollars.

These three dollars were her food expenses for two days. She couldn't eat well and could only barely fill her stomach.

The place where she lives now is built with broken bricks and tiles. It can neither shelter her from the wind nor keep her out from the rain, and she can only barely get by.

Not long after she ran away from home, all the money she had was stolen.

She finally found a job, but the salary was low and the work was very tiring. She thought that was miserable enough, but one day when she went out, she was hit by a car. Not only was her face disfigured, but her leg was also lame. No place was willing to hire her, so she had no choice but to pick up garbage for a living.

She also thought about going home. She knew that her eldest uncle's family and her third uncle's family were very wealthy and they probably wouldn't mind supporting her.

But for some reason, she failed every time, as if someone was stopping her. She tried many times and gradually gave up.

After so many years of hard life, she has developed many illnesses. She doesn't want to die, but can only live in pain with her sick body.

What she didn't know was that her parents weren't living well either. Their two sons were spoiled when they grew up. They stopped going to school after elementary school and just muddled through the days. They had to be supported by Zhou Yong and Li Qiuju, who could only keep doing odd jobs to support their two sons who did nothing.

The two sons either beat or scolded them, without the slightest sign of filial piety, and had no intention of making progress after seeing their parents working so hard.

Zhou Yong also thought about looking for his elder brother Zhou Feng and Zhou Yan, but who would take care of a person who can't do anything and is just lazy and eats a lot? They are not doing charity.

Moreover, Zhou Jianguo and Ma Xiaohua have passed away, and they have gradually stopped communicating with Zhou Yong.

There was no other way; they had to grit their teeth and persevere as their two sons had not yet married to give them grandchildren.

There were no houses there, only those built in earlier years. Other families in the village had already built brick and tile houses, but they were still living in houses made of mud.

Even though they are old, they cannot stop. No matter how hard or tiring it is, they have to work because they can't bear to be cruel to their son.

Until they could no longer work, Gangdan and Tongdan kicked them out of the house without any hesitation and left them to fend for themselves.

Throughout their lives, this family can only live in pain and poverty, and this is what they deserve.
