The early morning sun has already risen very high, and the sunlight shines through the window into the house. A man and a woman are sleeping with their necks crossed on a mahogany carved canopy bed. The quilt is casually draped around their waists, revealing their fair bodies.
Mother Zhou swept the floor with a broom reluctantly. While sweeping the leaves, she looked at the room opposite eight hundred times, but no one came out.
"Ahem..." She cleared her throat loudly and moved under the window.
In the room, Zhao Yuan woke up drowsily, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes filled with anger.
This damn old woman doesn’t know how to calm down early in the morning.
She cursed secretly in her heart, and her face showed her emotions unconsciously. The man behind her was also awakened and put his arms around her waist. Zhao Yuan's eyes moved, and she put a pair of lotus-rooted arms around his neck. She was so charming that Zhou Shui'an seduced him.
Hold her in your arms and make love.
The two lingered for a long time. Mother Zhou couldn't stand it any longer, so she stretched out her hand and knocked on the window.
"Anzi, is Ayuan awake?"
"... wake up!"
There was a rustling sound in the room. Zhou Shui'an opened the door first and came out with a slightly unnatural look on his face, "Mother."
Zhao Yuan's cheeks were red and the corners of her eyes were charming. Anyone with a discerning eye would know what the two of them had just done in the room.
Zhou's mother felt a little annoyed, but Zhao Yuan was her niece, so she suppressed the annoyance.
"Mom, let me sweep the floor for you." She hurriedly stepped forward to take the broom from Zhou's mother and glanced at Zhou Shui'an.
"My husband has to go to the shop. Why don't you go and make breakfast for him first, so as not to make him hungry."
A Yuan was thinking about him, Zhou Shui'an was worried, and looked at her lovingly. Zhao Yuan lowered her head shyly, picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor.
Zhou's mother had already cleaned the yard, leaving only a small dirty area, but she swept it for a long time.
Zhou's mother entered the kitchen, and the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She was used to being pampered and used to being the hands-off shopkeeper. She had only been doing housework for half a month and she couldn't hold on any longer.
She also wanted to let Zhao Yuan do the work, but Zhao Yuan was also someone who couldn't carry her shoulders or pick things up. Not only did she almost burn down the kitchen while cooking, she even scratched her hands when washing dishes, which made Zhou Shui'an extremely distressed.
My mother didn't dare to ask her to do any work.
After all, she is the niece she has loved since she was a child. She is not an outsider like Shen Yingxue. She cannot be beaten and scolded at will.
But thinking that Shen Yingxue was staying at her parents' house and didn't know when she would come back, Zhou's mother became so angry that she cursed loudly.
"That little bitch Shen Yingxue stayed at her mother's house for more than half a month without even knowing she was coming back. All the work at home was done by me. You are such a heartless bitch. Why did I marry such a lazy wife like her!"
"The Shen family has good food and good food. My sister will definitely not be willing to come back. She just feels sorry for my mother and husband, who thinks about her all day long." Zhao Yuan fanned the flames on the side, and as expected, Zhou's mother became even more angry.
"Bah! If you dare, she will never come back in this life!"
"Mom, don't say that. If my sister is really cruel and remarries, then my husband..." Zhao Yuan covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock, as if Shen Yingxue had remarried someone else.
"This flirtatious bitch, if she hasn't come back for so long, I'm afraid she stole someone behind Anzi's back. Her charming appearance can't help but confuse the men outside!"
Zhou Shui'an couldn't stand listening to Zhou's mother's scolding, so he frowned and defended Shen Yingxue.
"Mom, please stop saying a few words, Yingxue is not that kind of person..."
"Why not? Which big man in our street hasn't been seduced by her? If I hadn't kept a close eye on her, she would have run away with them long ago!"
Zhou's mother couldn't see her son protecting his wife, and would rather cuckold Zhou Shui'an than slander Shen Yingxue's reputation.
Zhou's mother was very confident in what she said. Although Zhou Shui'an didn't believe that Shen Yingxue would do this, he still had a grudge in his heart.
"Mom, it's not a problem for Yingxue to stay in the Shen family all the time, otherwise..." Zhou Shui'an wanted to say something to take her back. Although his concubine was in his arms, Ayuan was charming but clingy, and he also missed being gentle and considerate. He has a wife, and he only feels at ease when she is under his nose.
Zhao Yuan's body stiffened slightly. They had only been sweet for half a month when Zhou Shui'an changed his mind. Her eyes became cold and her nails dug into her flesh, but she smiled gently and generously.
"Yes, mother, my sister has been gone for so long and her anger has gone away. Let's ask my husband to bring her back."
She gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart but spoke generously. Zhou Shui'an squeezed her hand and Zhao Yuan smiled tenderly at him. Zhou Shui'an fell in love with her thoughtfulness even more.
"Bah! Why does that little bitch have the dignity to be angry? A hen that doesn't lay eggs should die outside!" Zhou's mother said viciously, but she still agreed with Zhou Shui'an to pick her up. After all, she really didn't want to do the work at home anymore.
Zhou Shui'an didn't go to the shop after dinner, but turned around and came to Shen's house. He even changed into a decent robe, which made him look like a human being.
Mrs. Zhang was lighting a fire in the house. When she heard a knock on the door, she put down the fire stick and walked out slowly.
"Here, who is it?" He kept knocking, as if calling a ghost.
Zhou Shui'an was panicked when he heard Mrs. Zhang's voice, his face was embarrassed, and his throat was trembling.
"Mom, it's me, I'm here to take Yingxue home."
Mrs. Zhang paused in opening the door, pushed the bolt in again, raised her eyebrows and glared, and asked sternly.
"What were you doing earlier? Get out of here and get as far away as possible!"
"Mom, please let Yingxue come out. After all, she is the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. How can she live in her parents' house every day and tell her what others will think of her."
Zhou Shui'an couldn't open the door because he was in a hurry.
"Bah! What's wrong with my daughter living in her parents' home? You, the Zhou family, bully others and don't allow her to go back to her parents' home? I'm afraid of dirtying my mouth when I tell you all the nasty things I did, but I still have the nerve to ask my daughter to go back. Go ahead and live your mother’s spring and autumn dreams!”
Mrs. Zhang's loud voice made Zhou Shui'an's face turn red and his neck thickened when he scolded her, and he hesitated and didn't know how to refute.
Shen Yingxue heard the commotion and came out. Seeing Mrs. Zhang blocking the door with anger on her face, she asked doubtfully.
"Mom, why don't you open the door? Who is outside?"
"It's me Yingxue!" Zhou Shui'an shouted excitedly when he heard his wife's voice.
"I'm here to take you home, please ask your mother to open the door for me!"
Shen Yingxue's eyes brightened and she looked at her mother eagerly.
Mrs. Zhang glared at her angrily, "Go back to your room."
This good-for-nothing, her heart ran away after the man said a few words.
"Mother..." Shen Yingxue hesitated, unwilling to leave.
Knowing that she was still behind the door, Zhou Shui'an felt hopeful and apologized.
"Madam, I know I was wrong. I regret how I made you sad these days. Yingxue, just forgive me and come back to live a good life with me. I can't live without you at all. Yingxue, can you come back? ?”
He burst into tears as he spoke, and every word was filled with regret, and Shen Yingxue softened her heart.
