After school, Zhou Jiahe went straight to the department store. It was her first time to visit the department store. The original owner had not been there many times. The oldest memory was when she came here with her parents when she was a child.

The salespersons at the counter were all indifferent. She bought a toothbrush, towel and soap. She wanted to buy other things, but spending too much money would inevitably arouse suspicion at home. She took a look and went back. As for the remaining money, she did not plan to return it.

When she returned, no one was at home. It was obvious that Wu Xiuxiu must have gone to find Lin Aifang.

She walked around the house and felt bored, so she went out for a walk.

Grandma Ge and a few old ladies were picking vegetables and chatting. After Zhou Jiahe greeted them, she squatted beside Grandma Ge to help her pick vegetables.

Grandma Ge looked at her with a look of relief, "Jiahe, did your father beat you after he went back yesterday?"

"No, thank you so much for speaking for me yesterday. Hey, in fact, my father is not easy. Aunt Lin married with a daughter-in-law. I can understand that she treats my sister well. If she doesn't, there will be a lot of things to say, but I just can't help feeling sad."

"Poor child, how can a stepmother be the same as a biological mother." Someone had noticed something was wrong a long time ago, saying that Zhou Jiahe cooked every day, and the daughter-in-law brought by Lin Aifang had never cooked before.

And the clothes Zhou Jiahe was wearing were brand new when Wu Xiuxiu wore them before. How could she not love her own children and love other people's daughters?

But Lin Aifang was indeed capable. She gave Zhou Guohua two sons in a row. No wonder he could listen to her.

"You will graduate from high school soon. After you go to work in the factory, you can apply for a dormitory to live in."

"Oh, I know." Zhou Jiahe responded obediently.

After Grandma Ge and the others said a few words, the topic deviated and they were all gossiping about the other family.

Zhou Jiahe immediately pricked up her ears to listen. She came here specially just to eat melons.

After helping Grandma Ge pick vegetables, she went to help others pick vegetables. When the time was almost up, she followed them back home contentedly.

When Lin Aifang returned with the children, she saw the cold pots and stoves at home, and then saw Zhou Jiahe sitting there smiling at her. She could hardly hold back the smile on her face.

"Jiahe, your dad and I have a hard time at work. You came early this time and cooked dinner. I can't handle it if you just wait for me to cook."

"I know, Auntie. I will definitely wait for you to finish cooking tomorrow before coming back."

Lin Aifang's words were blocked in her mouth. After a long time, she said, "Jiahe, Auntie is not saying anything to you. You are such a big girl, you can't be so lazy and do nothing. You are old enough to get married. If people know about it, who will dare to marry you?"

Zhou Jiahe turned around and blocked Wu Xiu who was about to go back to the house. Xiu, imitating Lin Aifang's look and tone, said, "Sister, I'm not saying anything to you as your younger sister, you are such a grown-up girl, but you don't do any housework, you are so lazy, who dares to want you."

After saying that, she still felt that it was not enough, and looked at the two brothers. Zhou Zihua still had candy in his mouth. When he saw her looking at him, he quickly covered his mouth, "Brother, I'm not saying anything to you as your older sister, but you must open your eyes when you marry a wife in the future. Your mother has told you that you can't want someone like Wu Xiuxiu."
