Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

After instructing Erniu to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters, Zhou Rong took Zhou's father and mother into their bedroom and locked the door.

Seeing her daughter's actions, a bad premonition came to her mind, and Zhou's mother asked, "What happened?"

Zhou Rong said bluntly: "I want to divorce Yang Jinlin."

Zhou's father suddenly jumped up and asked with a dark face: "How did he bully you? I'm going to beat him to death!"

Zhou Rong: "He said that our marriage was arranged by our parents and that it did not comply with the new marriage law promulgated by the state. He asked us to dissolve our marriage and go our separate ways."

Father Zhou: "Bullshit! I'm going to ask him and that old bastard Yang Kaiyun right now. We signed a marriage certificate at the beginning, and there were so many witnesses. It was clearly consensual. How come they said it was an arranged marriage?

If you were so reluctant, why did that bastard marry you seven years ago and have three children with you?

Over the years, the Yang family has borrowed so much money from our Zhou family in the name of in-laws, and has not paid back a single cent. Are they trying to take advantage of us for free?

I must make them give an explanation, otherwise I will chop off their entire family!"

As Zhou's father was about to go find a suitable weapon, Zhou Rong quickly grabbed him.

"Dad, don't be impulsive. Listen to what I have to say first."

Father Zhou said angrily: "What else is there to say? This marriage cannot be divorced. I don't agree!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhou's father, Zhou Rong could only look at Zhou's mother.

Mother Zhou sat on the edge of the bed, patted the seat next to her, and said softly, "Come and sit down, and listen to her finish her words. You are old, don't shout about fighting and killing all day long."

Upon hearing this, Zhou's father sat down obediently, with a cold face and no words.

Seeing that his father had calmed down, Zhou Rong said, "The reasons just now were superficial. Yang Jinlin was worried that we would not agree to the divorce, so he deliberately used the national policy to scare us.

In fact, Yang Jinlin fell in love with the daughter of a high-ranking official and wanted to climb the social ladder. Our family background couldn’t help him, so he could only think of divorcing her and remarrying. "

Zhou's mother said: "It is said that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse is born to dig holes.

Those who can become high officials are all capable, and the children they give birth to must be smart. Just based on Yang Jinlin's family background, why would anyone choose him? Is there some other unknown reason?"

Zhou Rong had to reveal some of the plot in the book, saying: "As far as I know, the other party is a widow who has been living in the countryside. She was often beaten and scolded by her late husband. Her life was very difficult. Her life became better after her father became a high-ranking official.

She is three years older than Yang Jinlin and has two teenage children. From this point of view, Yang Jinlin is worthy of her.

The most important thing is that Yang Jinlin is good at saying sweet words, which made her lose all the smart brain inherited from her parents. She only wanted to marry Yang Jinlin, and her parents could not persuade her to stop. "

Zhou's mother asked: "Who told you this?"

Zhou Rong said calmly: "I guessed based on what Yang Jinlin said.

When he first proposed divorce, I refused to agree and even knelt down to beg him not to abandon me and the child.

But it was no use, he was determined to get a divorce. If he didn't, not only would he lose his future, he might also lose his life.

I didn't believe it, so Yang Jinlin told me the truth about the other party, hoping that I would understand him and help him."

Mother Zhou grasped the point and asked angrily, "You actually knelt down to beg him? Is our daughter of the Zhou family so spineless?"

Zhou Rong sighed and could only take the blame for the original owner.

"Of course the daughter of the Zhou family has backbone. She is afraid that the divorce will bring discredit to Zhoujiawan and that you will be sad. She reacted in a hurry."

Father Zhou continued, "There has never been a divorced woman who married out in Zhoujiawan, only widows whose husbands died. When you got engaged and married to Yang Jinlin, the clan leaders were all witnesses. Divorce involves Zhoujiawan's reputation, and they will not agree to it.

If I had known this would happen, I would have asked Erhua or Sanfu to join the army. As long as they could come back alive, they would definitely be able to get a job, and Yang Jinlin, that brat, wouldn't dare to bully you like this."

Mother Zhou patted Father Zhou's arm and said in feigned anger, "What are you talking about! It's not that easy to earn merit at the cost of one's life!

Aren’t there enough people from our Zhoujiawan who went to the battlefield? How many of them came back alive?

Your fourth brother has lost a leg, and you still want our second and third children to die? They are all my flesh and blood. The sixth child is gone, and none of my other children must be harmed!"

Father Zhou hurriedly pulled Mother Zhou's hand and coaxed her, "I said the wrong thing in a moment of haste, don't take it to heart, your children are also my children, how can I not feel sorry for them?

Isn't it because of that stinky boy Yang Jinlin that she was pissed off? She thought that if there was an official in our family, her daughter wouldn't be forced to divorce. "

Mother Zhou groaned and asked Zhou Rong, "You brought the child home today. Are you here to discuss with us whether to get a divorce and listen to your father and I's opinions? Or have you already made up your mind and just came back to let us know?"

Zhou Rong admired his mother's intelligence so much. In the original book, she was also a "top-grade cannon fodder" and a person with extraordinary wisdom.

Zhou's mother was originally a young lady from a wealthy family in another province. Her mother was a concubine. Because she was beautiful, she was very much liked by the master of the house.

Later, when she became pregnant with her second child, the first wife was worried that giving birth to a boy would affect her status. She also didn't want the child to compete with her son for the family property when he grew up. So she bribed the midwife when she gave birth, resulting in two deaths.

Without the protection of her mother and as a girl, under the instigation of the eldest wife, the master of the house began to dislike the young Zhou's mother, and she was often bullied by her brothers and sisters.

When he was twelve years old, he ran away from home because he was scolded for no reason by the eldest wife and felt wronged. As a result, he met a human trafficker and was sold to a brothel.

Relying on her intelligence, Zhou's mother disguised herself as a little beggar and ran away from there when no one was paying attention.

After many twists and turns, she arrived in Qingping County. In order to make a living, she concealed her background and worked as a maid in the home of a wealthy local man named Zhang.

The mistress of the house liked her very much because she was smart and organized, so she kept her by her side to serve her.

Zhou's mother gave herself a pseudonym, "Wu Ya". The mistress of the house thought the name was not nice, so she renamed her Yuying and taught her to read, write and embroider.

Zhou's father has five brothers, and he is the third oldest.

The family only had a few acres of land, which they rented from the clan leader. It was not enough to support so many people. At the suggestion of Grandpa Zhou, he went to the county to find a job to reduce the burden on his family.

Later, with the introduction of someone, he became a long-term worker in the wealthy family of Zhang.

Zhou's mother was a cold person. Apart from serving the mistress of the house, she didn't like talking to people. She and Zhou's father had no interaction at first.

As she grew older, Zhou's mother became more and more beautiful, and Mr. Zhang wanted to take her as his concubine.

Mother Zhou didn't want to end up like her mother, who was doomed to be a concubine, so she rejected Mr. Zhang's kindness and made her position clear to the mistress of the house.

The mistress of the house gave Zhou's mother a gold bracelet as a reward.
