Chapter 21
Zhou Feng had no good reason to stop her eldest brother's family, and her sister-in-law was not good enough, but she was right. She was not Zhou Zhaodi's biological parents. Even if she wanted to help Zhaodi again, the most she could do was stop them.
She couldn't stop her. Liu Minzhi, a grown man, couldn't catch his sister-in-law and could only watch her being taken away.
Unable to protect her niece, Xu Xu had to go out and live alone. Zhou Feng was now depressed.
Zhou Feng felt unwell in the afternoon and lay down in the room to rest. Cheng Xu took over the responsibility of cooking at noon the next day, and Liu Sibo helped light the fire.
"Auntie is still sleeping?"
Cheng Xu wanted to make hot and sour potato shreds. There were no pickled peppers at home, so she used chili peppers and vinegar to make them. The knife skills in her hands were so smooth that Liu Sibo didn't even blink.
"Mom is still feeling uncomfortable. She lies in bed and ignores everyone. Dad even calls her and ignores everyone."
Cheng Xu knew that Zhou Feng was feeling uncomfortable, so she didn't go to Zhou Feng's side to make her feel worse. She could only let Liu Sibo explain the situation to her.
"You have been watching Aunt Zhou at home these days, treating her like pistachio and making her laugh."
Liu Sibo patted his chest and assured, "Sister, I'm sure."
Hot and sour potato shreds, stir-fried lotus white, cucumber and preserved egg soup, the three dishes were quickly prepared. There was also a small bowl of meat sauce that Liu Sibo had not eaten before, and the rice was sweet potatoes and rice.
Cheng Xu put a little bit of each dish for Aunt Zhou and asked Sibo to bring it to the room: "Bring it to Aunt Zhou to eat first."
When Liu Sibo came out of the room empty-handed, Cheng Xu looked at him expectantly: "How is it? Do you want to eat?"
"After eating a little bit, mom said to put the bowl inside and wait until she gets hungry to blow on it."
Cheng Xu relaxed and just wanted to eat.
Liu Minzhi sat at the dining table and asked the two of them to sit down and eat: "Let's all eat. Don't worry. She just feels uncomfortable. I will watch it."
Then he asked Cheng Xu about repairing the house: "If you want to go out to live, I won't stop you. Come back when you are hungry or scared. If you don't want to come back, I will send Sibo to you."
"Now that the busy farming season is over, you can find someone in the village to help you rebuild your house. Don't worry about these things. I will help you find someone."
Cheng Xu didn't understand this either. She only knew that asking villagers to help build a house required wages and food. If she wanted to finish the house as soon as possible, she wanted to find a few more people. She had to do the cooking alone. Maybe, she would like to ask Sister-in-law Yang and Aunt Hao to help again.
"Uncle Liu, please help me find a few people. I don't know how to repair a house. I will only take care of the money and cooking. I plan to ask Sister-in-law Yang and Aunt Hao to help." In Aunt Zhou's current situation, she also I don’t want to trouble Aunt Zhou, so three people are enough.
"Uncle, you can call a few more people so that we can finish the job as soon as possible."
"it is good."
The matter of living alone has been settled, and she will go out to live as soon as the house is repaired. Cheng Xu has also settled one thing on her mind. Now she is waiting for the beautiful boy to come to the village.
