Before Zhou Yuan arrived, many people already came to visit Zhou Xiu’s house.
Zhou Xiu’s grandfather is an elder of the clan in the village. He married into his husband’s family and is the grandson of the patriarch’s family. There are many people who have good friends with both families.
Zhou Xiu was in confinement, and there were a few girls sitting in the room chatting with her.
When Zhou Yuan arrived, the people inside were discussing him.
Zhou Xiu chatted and asked, “Do Lan Lan and Qiao Yin really need to gossip about other people’s marriages?”
Zhou Qiaoyin smiled and said, “Cousin Xiu, my family is helping to watch over her. As for Lan Lan, she has a very high vision. I don’t know what kind of husband’s family she will find in the future as there are many who are willing to marry her.”
Zhou Lanlan was displeased, “Zhou Qiaoyin, if you don’t talk, no one will treat you as dumb. What kind of husband’s family I find has nothing to do with you.” She hoped that next year her brother would be admitted as a scholar and she would find a better one.
Zhou Qiaoyin replied, “It has nothing to do with me but it is just that my cousin Xiu asked, so I just answered casually. What are you being so angry for? I’m not wrong.”
“You—” Zhou Lanlan turned around angrily, she pouted and said to Zhou Xiu, “Cousin Xiu, look at Zhou Qiaoyin, she is looking for trouble and talking nonsense.”
Zhou Xiu had no choice but to be a peacemaker, “Okay, Lan Lan, Qiao Yin, you two are really hot headed today- every time you see each other you quarrel, for my sake, please stop arguing.”
The two stopped quarreling.
Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi, as well as Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang’er are also here at this moment, they just sat and watched them quarrel.
Zhou Xiu changed the subject, and said to Zhou Qiu, “Yuan-ger is married, and Yuan-ger married to another village so we will see each other less in the future.”
Before Zhou Qiu could speak, Zhou Qingqing said in a strange tone, “Cousin Xiu, Zhou Yuan married in the county, how could it be bad?”
Zhou Xiang’er covered her mouth and said with a smile, “Qingqing, what kind of county man is he? He married a poor man who only has a dilapidated house in the suburbs. From which county is this person? He doesn’t even have any land.” Some people in the village have also seen Wei Cheng’s house.
Zhou Muzi was very angry when he heard this, but this is Zhou Xiu’s house after all, so it’s not good to start quarrel with others, and Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang’er, the more they quarreled with them, the more they would go too far.
There is still a child sleeping in the room, too much noise will wake the child up.

Compared to Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang’er, she has a better relationship with Zhou Yuan.
The reason was because Zhou Yuan was white, tender and cute when she was young, and she often played with Zhou Yuan when she was young. Furthermore, the relationship between the two families is closer than that of Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang’er’s family.
Zhou Xiang’er thought she was right, and continued to speak, “Zhou Yuan only got married since he was so old, so he didn’t get to be picky if someone wanted him. Marrying at an older age, it’s not easy for a ger to get pregnant, and I don’t know if he can still get pregnant.”
This sentence is vicious.
Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi are Zhou Yuan’s good friends, how can they tolerate it?
This is also the moment when the bedroom door opened—
In the light, everyone in the room saw Zhou Yuan enter the room from outside the door.
“Cousin Xiu, I’m here to see you.”
Zhou Yuan listened to them outside the door, but he was not angry- not only that, he maintained a gentle aura with a smile on his face, “Muzi, Xiao-Qiu, you are also here.”
With a robe made out of solid colors, his slender figure and handsome face, Zhou Yuan’s temperament was gentle and kind.
Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi were happy to see their friend, “Yuan Yuan, you are back!”
Zhou Xiu was also very happy. Last time Zhou Yuan got married, she was pregnant and she couldn’t go attent. Now that he is here, she is very happy.
“Yuan-ger is here. Sit down quickly. It’s been a long time. Your skin seems to be much fairer, and you look much better than before.”
Zhou Qiu and Muzi also found that not only was his skin fairer, but also his complexion had become ruddy, which seemed to make him look better.
Zhou Qiu deliberately joked, “Cousin Xiu, you don’t know but before Yuan Yuan married Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng often bought delicious food for Yuan Yuan, and he was super nice to Yuan Yuan. Since Yuan Yuan’s complexion is better, it must be due to Wei Cheng.”
Zhou Muzi also said, “That’s right, both Xiao-Qiu and I have benefited from Yuan Yuan’s honor, and we both got a few boxes of pastries.”
Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang’er were blushing now, no one knows whether it was because they were caught talking behind another person’s backs on the spot, or they were blushing from jealousy when they heard Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi’s words.
Zhou Xiu smiled and said, “It seems that Yuan-ger married very well.”
“Cousin Xiu, don’t listen to Xiao-Qiu and Muzi.” Zhou Yuan took out the brocade bag from his arms and handed it over, “Cousin Xiu, I bought this for the baby.” Seeing the baby sleeping in the cradle, he walked over and bent half his knees and looked, “What a cute baby.”
“Yuan Yuan, you have spent a lot of money. I thank you for the baby.” After Zhou Xiu took it, she thought it would be a gift of ordinary means so she opened it, took it out, and saw a pair of exquisitely crafted small bracelets, “Yuan Yuan, these are too precious- no, your cousin can’t take it.”
Everyone in the room has seen it, how can they not see that the small bracelet is well made, and the price is definitely not cheap.
“Cousin Xiu, this is for the baby, you can’t refuse it since it’s for the baby.”
“This…” Zhou Xiu also likes it very much, if her baby were wearing it, he must look very cute.
Zhou Muzi and Zhou Qiu also persuaded Zhou Xiu to accept the gift, “Yuan-ger, we also thank you for the baby.”
The relationship between Zhou Qiaoyin and Zhou Yuan is very ordinary, and they have never been tit-for-tat but now she also praised him, “The little bracelet is so cute, there are little animals engraved on it, and there are bells hanging on it. I have never seen such an exquisite little bracelet, cousin’s baby would definitely be cuter wearing it.”
Zhou Lanlan looked at it, but felt that it was an eyesore, and she thought to herself, Zhou Yuan is so generous, isn’t Wei Cheng very poor?
Zhou Qingqing and Zhou Xiang’er were even more jealous, jealous that Zhou Yuan is rich, Wei Cheng treats Zhou Yuan so well and is willing to buy such a valuable thing for Zhou Yuan’s cousin.
The door opened, and Zhou Xiu’s mother-in-law came in with something.
“Sister Xiu, Yuan-ger brought a lot of brown sugar. Finally, there is brown sugar for you to nourish your body. I cooked eggs with brown sugar for you. Thank Yuan-ger later.”
“All of you also drink a bowl of brown sugar water, thank you for coming to see sister Xiu.”
Zhou Xiu’s mother-in-law was very happy. Before, the family tried to find a way and asked someone to buy brown sugar. But if they want to buy some, they’ll have to wait for the goods to arrive next month. They would have finished confinement by next month, so it was not appropriate to buy it.
Her daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby boy for the family, and the whole family was happy, and they all wanted to confine themselves and hope for another fat baby to be added to the family next year.
Thanks to Zhou Yuan bringing a lot of brown sugar, they didn’t need to worry about nourishment- when she saw Zhou Yuan bring a big bag of brown sugar, she felt extremely grateful.
Everyone in the room was surprised that Zhou Yuan came with brown sugar.
Zhou Xiu looked at Zhou Yuan gratefully, “Yuan-ger, you brought brown sugar and bought a small bracelet for the baby. I really don’t know how to thank you.”
Zhou Xiu’s mother-in-law heard what her daughter-in-law said, and asked, “What small bracelet?”
Zhou Xiu showed the small bracelet in her hand to her mother-in-law, and told her that the small bracelet was given by Zhou Yuan. Her mother-in-law, as the daughter-in-law of an elder of the Zhou clan, had seen many good things- she immediately knew that the small bracelet was not cheap. She immediately said: “No, how can we take such a valuable thing from Yuan-ger, Yuan-ger quickly take it back.”
He already bought a lot of brown sugar and the brown sugar would cost a lot of money.
Zhou Yuan said, “Auntie, you should keep it, how can I take it back when it’s for the baby, this is my blessing for the baby.”
When she heard that it was a blessing for the baby, Zhou Xiu’s mother-in-law hesitated, and finally had no choice but to follow.
She also enthusiastically kept the people at home for dinner.
As for Zhou Xiang’er, Zhou Qingqing, and Zhou Lanlan, they were in no mood to eat so they all went back.
Zhou Yuan left with Zhou Muzi and Zhou Qiu after eating.
The three friends also hadn’t seen each other for a while so they had a lot to say to one another.
The three of them walked towards the house slowly, chatting while talking.
Zhou Qiu was still being asked by her family to hurry up her marriage.
After Zhou Muzi married Li Hu, Li Hu treated him very well. Later, after Li Hu’s younger brother got married, his sister-in-law stopped working, and all the housework fell on Zhou Muzi.
Zhou Qiu also told him to tell Li Hu several times, but what can be done, Muzi’s mother-in-law valued the second daughter-in-law, disliked Muzi, and disliked Muzi’s poor family.
It’s good to be able to get by, and Li Hu loves and protects him.
