Chapter 8

If Song Xi abandoned Zhou Yi, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was heartless and ungrateful.

“You don’t have to worry about my wife’s health. Hurry up and do your work! Don’t get scolded.”

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at Zhou Ping and continued working.

What right did a single person have to point fingers at his post-marriage life?

So what if his wife was not in good health? He was willing to take care of her, okay?

Days passed like this. It was the day before she went to the commune hospital for a checkup.

Song Xi was in a daze when she heard voices outside.

She opened her eyes in confusion and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

She reached for the tea mug on the table beside her and planned to take a sip of cold water to wake herself up.

In the end, when she was not paying attention, the tea mug fell from her hand and fell to the ground.

Zhou Yi pushed the door open anxiously and entered. “Wife, what’s wrong?”

Song Xi was extremely embarrassed and squeezed out an embarrassed smile. “I’m fine. I just woke up and didn’t have the strength in my hands, so I couldn’t hold the tea mug.”

“It’s fine. I’ll do it.” Zhou Yi bent down to pick up the tea jar on the ground and turned to leave.

Soon, a mug of cold water was served.

Actually, he drank well water directly. The hot water at home was specially boiled for Song Xi.

Zhou Yi came in and handed the tea mug to Song Xi.

Song Xi looked up at him and noticed that the middle-aged man behind him was a stranger she had never seen before.

The outline of his face looked a little similar to Zhou Yi’s, but he was more mature than Zhou Yi. It was just that he was older than Zhou Yi and should be Zhou Yi’s relative.

Zhou Yi noticed Song Xi’s gaze and quickly looked away. He introduced, “Little Xi, this is our father. He brought us rice and eggs. I’ll make you rice porridge tonight. This way, your health will recover faster.”

Seeing his second son being so obsequious in front of his daughter-in-law, Zhou Zhongguo felt that it was unbearable.

With his son’s looks, he was really lucky to be able to marry such a beautiful woman.

He reckoned that all his luck in this lifetime was used to get a wife.

It was also because the Song Family was inhumane. Otherwise, no matter how lucky Zhou Yi was, he would not have been able to marry such a wife.

Zhou Zhongguo looked at Song Xi, whose face and lips were pale. His heart ached.

She was indeed very beautiful and had an indescribable aura.

He was a little worried that a farmer like them would not be able to keep such a daughter-in-law.

Seeing that Zhou Yi’s father did not hate her, Song Xi knew that this father-in-law had accepted her. She smiled faintly. “Thank you, Dad. Dad, bring the rice and eggs back. We have food.”

Through the Host’s memories, she knew that people in this era, especially rural people, lived especially hard lives.

Therefore, because she had a stash of savings, she could not bear to eat her father-in-law’s things.

“Just live well with Zhou Yi in the future.”

Zhou Zhongguo said something to Song Xi and turned to leave.

As a father-in-law, it was not good for him to stay in his daughter-in-law’s room.

Actually, most elders hoped for their children to be well. It was the same for Zhou Zhongguo.

Although he did not know how to take care of children and was not close to his two sons, he also hoped that his sons could lead a good life.

Especially now that he was married, he hoped that they could get along well and not get into conflicts every other day. That would hurt their harmony and wealth.

After all, it was rare for a family like the Song Family to throw their cultured granddaughter out.

There must be something going on.

From the looks of it, the problem was not with Song Xi. It was probably with the Song family.

Zhou Yi got the Song Family to sign the severance letter that day. There should not be much trouble in the future.

After Zhou Zhongguo left, Song Xi smiled. “Our father is not bad. Why doesn’t he live with you?”

Although it was her first time meeting Zhou Zhongguo, Song Xi could still feel that Zhou Zhongguo was better than her father from the Song Family.

Her father in the Song Family did not care about her at all.

Grandma hit her, Mom hit her, and Father Song didn’t say a word, as if she was an outsider.

Zhou Zhongguo was even better than her father in the modern world.

Her modern father had cheated on her mom when she was young and they got a divorce after that.

Then, between her and her brother, her father left with her brother and quickly formed a family with his cheating partner.

She followed her mother, and her mother treated her averagely. There was not much deep relationship between the mother and daughter.

However, after she earned money, she still bought sickness and old-age insurance for her mother early.

This way, her mother could receive a few thousand yuan a month after she retired.

If she was sick, the insurance against sickness would reimburse them, so she was not worried about her mother now.

Her family relationship was not harmonious enough, but the business of her supermarket was good. At least the income was a figure she was satisfied with.

Now that she had transmigrated here, she wondered how the modern her was.

Was she dead or ‘mysteriously disappeared’?

She wondered if her parents had fought over her inheritance.

Although she did not have a deep relationship with her parents, she really wanted to visit them in their dreams.

She’ll tell them that she was living well in another world and tell them not to worry and not to make things difficult for her brother for money.

After all, their conditions were not bad now. Without her money, they could still live well.

Zhou Yi was very happy that his little wife could accept his father so easily.

He was afraid that his little wife would not get along with his father and he would be in a difficult position.

His little wife came to his house alone and was already alone. He would definitely prioritize her and not let her suffer.

“My father has a more solitary personality. He likes to be quiet and doesn’t like to live with others.” Zhou Yi reached out and stroked Song Xi’s hair. “Wife, rest first. I’ll make some rice porridge.”

After Zhou Yi left, Song Xi leaned against the bed in a daze. In fact, her consciousness had sneaked into the supermarket.

She wanted to take the salted duck eggs and pickled vegetables, but she didn’t dare.

She had been recuperating at home and had not even left the house. How could she explain these things?

Therefore, it was better to endure it!

When she recovered, she could eat enough.

At night, the two of them sat under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard for dinner.

Song Xi’s was thick chicken porridge. The thick fragrance of chicken mixed with the faint fragrance of rice made her stomach itch.

Song Xi picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat when she saw the wild vegetable soup in Zhou Yi’s bowl. Her pupils trembled.

She did not expect a man like him to eat so little at night. Could it be that he’ll wake up in the middle of the night and drink well water to fill his stomach?

She thought about how she carried such a big supermarket with her and how there were so many delicious things.

However, Zhou Yi was drinking wild vegetable soup here. Instantly, Song Xi felt a strong sense of guilt.

If she did not have a supermarket a few days ago, she could still eat good food with a clear conscience, but now, she really could not do it.

This was the food that Zhou Yi and Zhou Zhongguo had saved.
