The Pretty Military Wife

However, Zhou Guoquan has been lazy and greedy over the years, and is one of the people in the team who always slacks off when doing any work.

In the past, he relied on his father being the captain, so everything he did was easy. Plus, when he returned home, his wife took care of him everywhere, and his mother spoiled him. Anyway, in the countryside, his life was the best.

But now his wife is dead, and his mother has to do the housework and take care of several children, as well as his sick father. He is the only one who works and is asked to do heavy work.

So he became dissatisfied and had a fight with the current captain, and then he was no longer assigned any work.

As a result, for a while, the three members of the Zhou family got no work points.

In this way, there would be nothing to eat after the autumn harvest.

Moreover, Zhou Guoquan felt very annoyed listening to the two little girls crying and making a fuss at home every day.

Given their family's current situation, no woman would be willing to marry them.

Not to mention young girls (those who have never been married), even remarried women or widows don't want to marry into their family.

There are two elders above me whom I dare not offend, and three children below me, the youngest of whom is only three or four years old. I came here to be a nanny.

The family's life became increasingly difficult.

Liu Jinxiu had a sudden idea one night. She could use her silly daughter to exchange for a young girl for her nominally dead son. Now, let alone a young girl, she could even exchange her for a second marriage.

So, after discussing with the old man, she asked Zhou Xiaoying to go home and help cook for two days, saying that the old man was sick and the child was young, because she had been feeling dizzy recently.

The Liang family naturally knew about their family’s current situation, but they didn’t expect them to have such evil intentions.

Thinking that the New Year had just passed and it was not the busy farming season yet, the children at home would be taken care of by Liang Jun's mother, and the housework would be done by Liang Jun's mother, so Xiaoying was asked to go back to help cook for two days.

Zhou Xiaoying has been getting better and better in the past two years. She has no problem at all with cooking, doing housework and taking care of children.

Therefore, the Liang family had three laborers who could go out to work, and Xiaoying sometimes went out to work as well. The Liang family lived a smooth life.

But they didn't expect that after two days of going back, when Liang Jun went to pick up Zhou Xiaoying, the Zhou family would not let her go.

And he didn't even see Zhou Xiaoying.

At that time, he said that his father's illness had not yet recovered and Xiaoying had to stay for a few more days.

The Liang family was not unreasonable. After thinking about it, Liang Jun came back.

But from then on, Zhou Xiaoying never returned to the Liang family. And every time Liang Jun went to pick her up, Zhou Guoquan would stop him at the door and scold him. Liang Jun didn't want to argue with him, so he went back.

Sometimes Liu Jinxiu would come out and curse. Anyway, after all the calculations, if they wanted to take Zhou Xiaoying back, they had to ask the Liang family for so much money and rice.

A month had passed. The busy farming season had begun in the countryside, and the rice fields had to be prepared. The Liang family also needed someone to look after the children. Liang Jun came to pick someone up again.

Still no one was seen. Liang Jun got angry this time and tried to force his way in to pick up the person, but was beaten up by Zhou Guoquan and Zhou Dezhu, who had reconciled with him.

It’s not that the Liang army couldn’t defeat them, but because Zhou Dezhu was their father-in-law, the Liang army still had concerns.

But if you don't hit others, when others hit you, they will kill you.

As a result, Zhou Guoquan hit Liang Jun's leg with a carrying pole, cutting off Liang Jun's calf.

This time, someone came to report the news, and Liang Jun's father called two people from the Liang family to carry the person back.

During the busy farming season, no one in the Liang family could work. The main reason was that Liang Jun's leg was broken and someone had to take care of him and take him to the county for treatment. There were two young children at home, so Liang's father took Liang Jun to the hospital, while Liang's mother took care of the two grandchildren.

Liang Jun and his men were thinking at this time that the Zhou family might not let Zhou Dezhu go at first because of his poor health, and later because they might want to keep Zhou Xiaoying at home so that during the busy farming season someone would be there to cook and look after the children, and the others could go out to work.

However, when Liang Jun was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate, one night when it was already dark, a young boy from Zhou's village came to tell Liang Jun:

"Brother Jun, if you don't go, Sister Xiaoying will be carried away."

Liang Jun found out the situation clearly. It turned out that the Zhou family kept Zhou Xiaoying at home, and then Liu Jinxiu took advantage of the market to inquire if there were any families that could marry in exchange.

They want to use this girl as an exchange for a bride.

Moreover, Liu Jinxiu told others that her daughter was easy to give birth to, as the previous family gave birth to two boys in her lifetime.

In the countryside, everyone wants a woman who can give birth to a son. Only by giving birth to a son can someone work and earn work points.

This is their purest idea.

After asking around, it didn't seem so appropriate. The news spread from one person to another, and finally reached another county. It turned out that there was a family with a brother and a sister-in-law who was a widow.

People are telling their family to just marry their widowed sister-in-law, since they are family and shouldn't talk behind each other's backs.

While I was still hesitating, I heard the news. I thought that if my sister-in-law married my brother, I might be criticized by others, so it would be better to find another one.

Moreover, this sister-in-law is an honest person. In this family, she dare not say no. She has a bad fate and is a widow, so she has to listen to the woman in her husband's family.

So after some discussion, the matter was settled.

When people heard that she could have a son, they gave her another five dollars. Of course, this was the betrothal money that Liu Jinxiu wanted.

Zhou Xiaoying had been a little mentally ill to begin with, and although she had gotten better in the past two years, she was definitely not on guard against her father and mother.

She listened to whatever they said.

Of course, Liu Jinxiu and the others were not stupid, and they would definitely not tell Zhou Xiaoying to not have the Liang family's child.

Because Zhou Xiaoying actually thinks about her son every day.

But Liu Jinxiu coaxed and scolded Zhou Xiaoying, so she naturally became timid.

Liu Jinxiu was also afraid that the Liang family would cause trouble, so she asked that family to come and pick them up in the evening.

There is a custom that second marriages can be made at night.

So, the other family came to the outside of the village early in the morning and waited until dark before entering the village to pick up the people.

As they were talking, some children in the village heard them. When they got home and told everyone about it, they knew that Liu Jinxiu was going to do this bad thing.

Liang Jun's family had a good reputation in the area, and Zhou's reputation had long been ruined. Naturally, these people could not watch this go on. So someone came to inform Liang Jun.

Liang Jun was still leaning on a tree branch, and then he brought the Liang family to block the door of Zhou's house. He happened to block the people coming from the other side.

So, it’s chaos!

Liu Jinxiu rushed towards Liang Jun like crazy. She naturally couldn't keep the man who had ruined her plans.

There were not only men from the Liang family who came, but also some women from the Liang family. Two or three women stood in front of Liang Jun and cursed at Liu Jinxiu.

Zhou Guoquan saw that he was going to fail again and be without a wife, so he shamelessly dragged the widow into the house, closed the door and refused to come out, saying that once she entered his house, she was his.

Now, that family also refused to do it.

So, it’s chaos!
