no longer ordinary friends

Zhou Guohua always claims to be the head of the family, but in fact he has no opinions at all. His first reaction is: "Old woman, it's over."

He held up the fly swatter and walked towards the counter in a panic.

Cai Mei was in a bad mood and impatient after being quarreled by Cai Lan and Jiang Li's mother all afternoon: "Shouting? What's the end of your old woman? What time is it? I haven't made dinner yet, and I've been wandering around in the store, arguing." No way, which man is like you? Go away and don't touch me. "

Having been a husband and wife for decades, Zhou Guohua has long been used to her bad mouth, which comes in from the left ear and comes out from the right ear, and he still has to worry about Jiang Xianghuai's so-called man's dignity. He lowered his voice: "The boy from the Jiang family said to the TV station, He wants to join our family."

Cai Mei didn't respond yet, He Yanming, who had just squeezed out from the crowd, almost spit out the water in his mouth. He choked for a long time, coughing non-stop, but he still asked anxiously, "What? Jiang Xianghuai wants to get married?"

This is something He Yanming can't understand.

Those who marry in Nanri County either have too many sons in the family, or the family is a little poor and cannot afford a wife, or there may be other reasons, but more or less people will talk behind their backs. He reminds me that he is the only child of He Kailun's family and must be responsible for passing on the incense. If he dares to marry, his father can break his legs.

"Jiang Xianghuai is the only son in the family, right? He is also a native of Beicheng, and his social status is not bad. He is also barely decent-looking. There is a car in Beicheng. Why can't he think about it?" He Yanming slammed his mouth.

Zhou Guohua snorted coldly: "It's because we are good friends, what do you know, go away."

He Yanming deliberately said: "It's not a fairy. I used to pretend to be a Bodhisattva when I was a child, so I really think I am a Bodhisattva?"

Zhou Guohua raised the fly swatter and was about to clean him up, but he dodged nimbly, still muttering: "Grandpa, I'm going to have dinner at Zhou's house tonight. I saw you bought a lot of crabs today."

"Eat shit."

Just as Zhou Zhicheng entered the canteen, Jiang Li's mother grabbed her, with a little force, her nails pinched the flesh on her wrist, and it hurt a little.

Jiang Li's mother murmured loudly: "Zhou Zhicheng, we Jiang Li regard you as a true friend, you and your brother play with us Jiang Li like this, do you have any face?"

She looked at her neighbors and said, "Everyone, please take a look. This is your trusted lawyer Zhou. He often goes to the Women's Committee to promote it. He talks about protecting women and bullying women together with her brother."

Just as I was talking, a boy came over with a schoolbag on his back. It was Jiang Li’s younger brother. He just came back from school in a nearby Pugao school. He is better now than when he was a child. His mother went crazy when he was a child. After reading a little book, when you reach puberty, you will know shame.

When he saw this scene, he gritted his teeth in embarrassment, and quickly walked over to grab his mother: "Mom, there are so many people, what are you doing?"

"What's wrong with the crowd?" Jiang Li's mother yelled, "I just want to be in a crowded place and make the Zhou family lose face." She stared at the five-good family sign on the door of Zhou's shop, and said ironically: "It's a good family with five poisons!"

Zhou Zhicheng stared at her indifferently, and said in a low voice, "Auntie, it's your business that you like to yell in public, but have you considered your children? According to you, married daughters, As long as Jiang Li marries far away, no matter how embarrassing you are in Nanri County, it has nothing to do with her, but what about your son? But who knows you, who would be willing to marry their daughter into your family? Don't say it After getting married, is there any female classmate in your son's school who doesn't know his mother?"

What Jiang Li's mother cared about most was her son, and she got angry when she heard it. Her son was worthy of a dragon and a phoenix, even a fairy.

But the moment she was about to scold back, she inadvertently saw her son's disgusted and hateful eyes, and her heart shivered for a moment.

How could he look at her like that?She obviously treated him with all her heart and soul, wishing she could give him the flesh of her body, and never let him suffer a bit since she was a child.

Zhou Zhicheng said coldly: "Auntie, you want money, how do you want to solve it, what's the use of you making a fuss now? You should know Li Li too, if you really offend her, you will stop I can't contact her anymore, she is no longer the second child of the Jiang family."

"Stop talking about Second Sister!" Jiang Li's younger brother blushed and clenched his fingers tightly, "Mom, go home!"

He was uncomfortable being watched by the pointing eyes around him, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, so he shook his face and left without waiting for his mother.

Cai Lan is a person who doesn't think it's a big deal, and she will say something when she sees everyone: "Yo, your son has a temper, even his mother dares to yell, I think you will be kicked out by your daughter-in-law when you are old."

Jiang Li's mother stared at her fiercely, and pouted her: "No wonder your granddaughter was returned." After speaking, she quickly caught up with her son.

Zhou Zhicheng sighed inwardly, and went to Zhao Yanjia's side.Lu He sat in the middle, full of momentum, Zhao Yanjia and Ye Bai were his two errand boys.

The old man who runs a hardware store in the town is asking: "My son works in the city, and now he is going to divorce my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law is going too far. Hey, you must not think why they divorced?"

Lu He was expressionless, only staring at him with black pupils, not answering his words.

On the contrary, Zhao Yanjia imitated Zhou Zhicheng's usual appearance, and asked softly with a smile, "Why, Uncle Feng?"

Uncle Feng was furious: "I'm waiting here to hold my grandson. My daughter-in-law got pregnant by accident because she wanted to get promoted, so she aborted the child behind my son's back. Only after beating my son did I know, my poor grandson , When my son told me, I burst into tears, how could that woman be so cruel, she killed a person, and it took less than two months!"

Lu He: "So what do you want to ask? If it is related to inheritance and gift, although the fetus has some civil rights and quasi-personality, but because the fetus was not born, his rights did not exist from the beginning."

Uncle Feng was confused: "What are you talking about?"

Ye Bai didn't like Uncle Feng's flirtatious tone when talking about women, so he coldly translated Lu He's words: "He said, this is not a human life, and a fetus is not a complete person legally."

Zhao Yanjia felt that Ye Bai, a native village girl, could not talk and behave better than him, the eldest young master. He quickly squeezed out a smile, and before Uncle Feng got angry, he comforted him: "Uncle, don't be angry, what do you want to consult?" Woolen cloth?"

Uncle Feng blew his beard and stared: "My son is going to divorce my daughter-in-law now. Because the child is gone, he is very sad, so he wants to ask my daughter-in-law for divorce compensation. Can you help him?"

It was the first time for the three of them to hear such a request, and they were silent for a while.

Uncle Feng said: "Don't think that only women will be sad when they lose their children, and men will also be hurt."

This is true.

"My son said that my daughter-in-law's self-abortion means that his rights have been violated, and he can demand compensation."

The people next to him also thought it made sense. It would hurt a good child to just disappear like this.

Cai Mei glanced at Uncle Feng: "Old Ghost Feng, your daughter-in-law earns two or three times as much as your son, right? Are you sad to compensate? I think your son is greedy for money and wants others to give him more money! This couple You are an old man who always meddles in the matter between the two, and you messed up the family. It is wrong for her to have an abortion secretly, which hurts the relationship between husband and wife. However, she must be more sad than your son, and her body is also injured. A woman like this Xiaoyuezi is terrible, and I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don't sit well."

Cai Mei and Zhou Guohua have a good relationship because Zhou Guohua takes good care of others. When she gave birth, he took care of him personally. He borrowed money even if he had no money. He made all kinds of nourishing soup for her to drink without letting her touch it. Cold water, a little bit of cold wind.Childbirth is a hurdle for a woman. No matter how well she takes care of her, she feels that her body is not as good as before.

Uncle Feng's face turned red: "Why can't I ask for compensation? It's protected by law."

Lu He said: "Normally speaking, the court will not support your son's claim for childbirth loss. Men and women do have the right to bear children in law. However, because the whole process of natural childbirth is borne by women, so, Women have the absolute right to make decisions about reproduction, and a man cannot use his reproductive rights to challenge women's right to make decisions about reproduction."

Zhao Yanjia immediately concluded the translation: "Uncle Feng, that is to say, your daughter-in-law's miscarriage does not infringe your son's reproductive rights, because the law stipulates that your daughter-in-law has the right to freely decide whether to give birth. She can have an abortion if she wants to. Your son wants to If you want compensation, you will basically not get a penny.”

"What?" Uncle Feng was furious, slapped the table and stood up.

On the one hand, he felt embarrassed, and on the other hand, he was angry at the conclusions these people said. Wasn't there any compensation for killing his precious Jinsun?

He was trembling with anger, and before he left, he turned his head and cursed: "Young man doesn't understand the law, don't hurt others."

Lu He is now very indifferent to this kind of evaluation, and raised the corner of his lower lip lightly, as if he was satisfied that he could still annoy the client.

Zhao Yanjia rubbed the stiff smile on his face a little speechlessly, wasting his emotions!

Ye Bai glanced at him: "Stop pretending to be gentle and smiling, it's kind of disgusting..."

While talking, another person sat down to consult.

Zhou Zhicheng didn't bother them, and walked to the kitchen at the back. Seeing that Grandpa was making crabs, he said something more: "Zhou Bingcheng said he would be back tonight."

Zhou Guohua only said: "Got it." Looking very calm, he said to Zhou Zhicheng, "Then you go and sweep the land master in the yard."

Zhou Zhicheng couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Xianghuai stepped into the old courtyard of Zhou's house, and at a glance, he saw Zhou Zhicheng was cleaning up the fallen leaves in front of the Landlord with a broom, and then brought out a soft cushion from the house and placed it in front. The melon and fruit offerings on the case had been replaced There was a new one, Zhou Zhicheng's favorite chocolate, and after God finished eating, it was her turn to eat.

Back then he asked her: "Have you ever asked Tiangong likes chocolate?"

She affirmed: "Of course, when I was a child, I played the role of Guanyin. The Bodhisattva is like me. She also likes to drink Coca-Cola, but she doesn't like Pepsi."

Zhou Zhicheng in front of him washed his hands clean, knelt down and offered a stick of incense to the land master, with his back straight, his face peaceful, his eyebrows slightly lowered, and he muttered silently.

Jiang Xianghuai stood at the threshold and watched quietly for a long time.

The bright moon hangs high, the courtyard is silent, the incense burns thinly, and the smell slowly drifts over.

It is said that the moon is bright in his hometown, but he feels that it is brighter in a foreign land. The world worships Buddha to seek peace of mind, and his little Bodhisattva is right in front of him, and he alone offers incense. Just one look can calm his heart.

After a while, he walked over: "What day is today?" He thought it was the festival here.

"No, it's just Zhou Bingcheng's ordinary Good Friday." Zhou Zhicheng replied, "When we grow up, Grandpa hasn't used this trick for many years."

Zhou Guohua doesn't beat his grandchildren, Cai Mei scolds a few words loudly, he has the courage to say a few words on behalf of the children, and then they are scolded together, usually doting on the two little ones, eating and drinking are trivial matters When Zhou Zhicheng was young, none of the neighbors in the neighborhood knew that his family had a precious granddaughter.

Nanri County has various complicated customs when a son is born, but when Zhou Zhicheng was born, Zhou Guohua also went through the process in full accordance with this custom.

On the day of his birth, he gave small red envelopes to neighbors in the neighborhood. On the [-]th day of his birth, he held a small banquet for relatives and bought all kinds of gold jewelry. On the full moon, he even cooked red eggs and steamed red rice cakes. In the past, he also held a moon wine and invited a troupe to perform. Those who didn't know thought he had another grandson.

Zhou Guohua doesn't care how other people treat their grandchildren differently, he loves them all anyway, but his parents leave a pair of children in their hometown and let the two elders take care of them. The child made a mistake, so he must be educated, he After much deliberation, I decided to let the land lord educate me.

Whoever made a big mistake should kneel in front of the land master and reflect on himself.

"Grandpa thinks this is very sincere?" Jiang Xianghuai was thoughtful.

"Of course, no matter how big a mistake I make, if I kneel down, God and grandpa will forgive me." Zhou Zhicheng went to get his phone, wondering if Zhou Bingcheng had replied to the message.

Jiang Xianghuai subconsciously wanted to touch his own knee, and he didn't know how long he would have to kneel.
