Chapter 19: play poor
Chapter 19 Pretending to be Poor
Zhou Yi was surprised by his daughter-in-law's purchasing power, but it also made him firm in his idea of making money, so that his daughter-in-law could live a life of shopping and shopping in the future.
Actually, Zhou Yi wanted to ask Song Xi if there was anything else he wanted to buy, but he thought he didn't have much money, so he didn't ask. If he still lacked something, he might as well buy it next time.
Although the little daughter-in-law's health is fine, he still decided to take her to the hospital for a check-up after a while, so that he can rest assured. After all, how can a person who is almost bleeding out be able to recover in a short period of time?
The two came to the ox cart gathering point outside the commune before four o'clock. The villagers who drove the ox carts were already waiting there. When they saw Zhou Yi and Song Xi coming together, they widened their eyes in surprise, "Zhou Yi, you Is the daughter-in-law alright?"
"Not yet." Zhou Yi helped Song Xi to settle in the bullock cart, and covered the contents of the basket with a sack, "The doctor said that he has recovered a little, but it will take time to return to the previous level. "
"That's good." The villagers nodded, and were sincerely happy for Zhou Yi. This kid finally came to the end of his hardships.
The time was almost up, and the villagers who came to the commune rushed over one after another. Everyone was very curious when they saw Zhou Yi's back basket covered with a sack. But being stared at by Zhou Yi, he withdrew his hand.
As soon as four o'clock arrives, the ox cart will return slowly. It doesn't matter if anyone is late. After all, the ox cart will arrive here in the morning. Do not return to the village.
Song Xi felt a little uncomfortable being bumped, Zhou Yi took her over and let her lean on his shoulder, the aunt who wanted to see Zhou Yi carry the basket at first, was a little jealous, "Zhou Yi, you borrowed so much money to marry your wife Will it be paid off soon?"
The implication is that the money borrowed to marry a daughter-in-law has not been repaid, so where can I get the money to buy things?
"I haven't paid it back yet. Auntie cares so much about our husband and wife. Do you want to help us pay it back? If that's the case, then our husband and wife will definitely thank you very much." Zhou Yi turned back bluntly, really Likes to be nosy.
When the aunt heard Zhou Yi's words, she was afraid that Zhou Yi would really haunt her, so she shut up immediately, not daring to say another word. She was afraid that Zhou Yi would rely on her family and let her family take money.
What does Zhou Yi's marriage to a daughter-in-law have to do with her family?
This daughter-in-law was not married for her family. Besides, her family would not want such a daughter-in-law. She is just a sick child. I don’t know how much it will cost to cure it. In the end, there was nothing left to do with people and money, so only a fool like Zhou Yi was willing to spend the money.
I hope that Zhou Yi will not borrow money from her house in the future, otherwise she will beat Zhou Yi out with a broom.
Although Song Xi was not feeling well, she could still hear the sound of the bullock cart clearly. Hearing that the money borrowed by Zhou Yi to marry his wife hadn't been repaid, he knew that Zhou Yi was pretending to be poor on purpose.
If you let others know that he has more than 200 yuan, some people will definitely doubt the source of the money, and someone will definitely ask him to teach him how to make money.
After all, not everyone is worthy of help. Some people are poisonous snakes. Helping others may harm themselves.
It was getting dark late in summer. When the ox cart returned to the entrance of Ping'an Village, it was only dark but not yet dark. Zhou Yi put his back on his back and helped Song Xi off the ox cart, and asked with concern, " Daughter-in-law, how do you feel? Or, I'll take you back!"
Although there are a lot of things, the little daughter-in-law is very light, and with her, he can still support it.
Song Xi hastily stopped Zhou Yi from hugging her. It was only a ten-minute walk from here to Zhou Yi's house, and she could still hold on. Besides, in this age when men and women are fighting against each other, if Zhou Yi hugged her Going home, there must be someone who wants to be a demon.
There are so many families in a village, so many people, there are good people and there are bad people. She has already lived in the center of public opinion, and she doesn't want to be the talk of others again.
Zhou Yi smiled softly, he didn't want to hug her anymore, but helped her to go home, and when he got home, he sent Song Xi back to the room to rest, and he didn't immediately tidy up the things he bought, but went to the stove first The house boiled the bath water for Song Xi.
Song Xi lay on the bed for a while, and when her body was not so heavy, she sat up and took off her top.
After 'running' outside for a long time today, her clothes were already drenched. Although she had been dried by the hot wind in the evening, the smell of sweat still made people feel uncomfortable.
In this era, there is no comfortable and beautiful underwear like modern times. Almost everyone has no underwear to wear. Even if the family has better conditions, they will prepare underwear for their daughters. It is also a white cotton vest, which is the same size as men wear outside. The vest is similar, but the women's version is shorter.
The Song family doesn't regard 'Song Xi' as a person, so naturally they don't prepare these things for her, and Zhou Yi obviously doesn't understand these things, so naturally he doesn't know how to prepare these things for Song Xi.
As for Song Xi herself, she didn't find a chance to go to the supermarket to get something suitable for this age, so when she took off her top, it was a charming scene of spring exposed.
When Song Xi reached out to grab the clean clothes, out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Zhou Yi who was standing by the door and holding a wooden basin. She stood there in a daze, and when she came to her senses, she quickly picked up the old clothes and held them tightly. on the chest.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll help you take a bath every day, two or three times a day!" Seeing the young daughter-in-law's blushing face, Zhou Yi felt itchy. You know, the weather is hot, and he is afraid that the little daughter-in-law will feel uncomfortable, so he does his best to take care of her , Wipe her several times a day, what else has he not seen?
However, when taking care of her, he was very pious and never overstepped in the slightest. First of all, the little daughter-in-law was not in good health, and secondly, there were some things that he still wanted to wait until the little daughter-in-law was willing to accept him.
"I can do some things by myself now, so from today on, let me do such small things by myself!" Song Xi's cheeks were as red as a ripe apple.
Before she was taken care of by him, it was because she was unconscious and couldn't take care of herself, but now she can take care of herself, and Zhou Yi took care of her again, she resisted and shy in her heart.
Zhou Yi put the wooden basin filled with hot water on the ground beside the bed, put a white linen cloth on the side of the basin, and sat down beside Song Xi, "Daughter-in-law, are you crossing the river and destroying the bridge?"
"Brother Yi, I found that you seem to like being a nanny to serve others." Song Xi raised her eyes in astonishment to Zhou Yi's playful eyes, and she was speechless.
