Chapter 1 The envy of all people turned into pity

In Qijia Village, two daughters-in-law of Shui Jinzhu's family sat on the kang and chatted while sucking their shoes.

Water Jinzhu has four children.

The eldest son is a daughter named Shui Baihe. She is already married.

The second and third brother are both sons. The second brother is called Shui Daxi. He married a wife named Zhao. They have one son and one daughter. The son is called Dunzi, and he is five years old this year. The daughter is called Juanzi, and he is four years old this year.

The third brother's name is Shui Erxi. He married a wife named Jia. The two now have only one daughter. They are named Meizi. They are two years old today.

The fourth child is a daughter named Shui Lianhua. She is sixteen years old this year. She has not been married yet, but she has been engaged.

Jia rubbed his hair with a needle. "Sister-in-law, have you seen it? Grandma gave Lianhua a silver bracelet."

There are three brothers in Shui Jinzhu. After his father died, his mother decided to split up the family. Shui Jinzhu was the boss. After the separation, his mother kept following him. His two younger brothers were called Mercury Pill and Water Copper Pill.

Zhao knew that her younger brother and sister were a little petty. "See it. Shui Lian will marry Zhou Dalang in a few months. Zhou Dalang is a juren, and grandma must have thought that if Shui Lian became a juren's wife, she would be bare and not good-looking, so she gave Lianhua a bracelet."

Jia clasped his lips. "When the Zhou family's eldest son becomes an official, what bracelet does Lianhua want to bring? Why do you have to bring a bracelet from her parents' home? Although our family doesn't have to go hungry, our family doesn't have much money? Don't you want to send Dunzi to school next year?"

"It's nothing if Dunzi went to school two years later. Grandma also wanted Zhou Dalang to help our family in the future."

"My grandma, even if she doesn't give Lotus bracelets, Zhou Dalang will help us. I heard from the villagers that Zhou Dalang was like a cat when he was a child, thin and small. If Lotus didn't see him protecting him, he wouldn't even dare to go out of the door."

Zhao laughed as soon as he heard this. "Don't mention when I was a child, even after I got married, Lianhua fought several fights for Zhou Dalang and the wild boys in the village."

"Really? The Zhou family's Dalang is twelve or three years old?"

"Well. Even though he was thirteen at that time, he was not as tall as a nine-year-old lotus, nor was he as fat as a lotus."

The Zhou family Dalang is now as tall as a lotus. "This Zhou family Dalang is really broad-minded but not long-term."

"Who said no? Lin Zi's uncle stopped teasing him in just a few years. A few years ago, when Lin Zi's uncle saw Zhou Dalang, he insisted on lifting Zhou Dalang up and shaking it a few times. For this matter, Lianhua's stick has been raising him and running around the village."

Jia also heard about this. "Lin Zi's uncle is just tall and not brainy. Look at Lianhua, I have known that he is good to Zhou Dalang since I was a child. Not only is he good to him, but he also asked him to come to our house to propose marriage early." When Lianhua was ten years old, the Zhou family came to propose marriage. At that time, Zhou Dalang had not yet passed the exam for scholars.

Zhao frowned. "My brother and sister, just say this to me. You can't say that when you go out. Back then, Zhou Jiafei came to our house to propose marriage, but Lianhua asked them to propose marriage. At that time, grandma didn't want to promise the lotus to Zhou Dalang. If the Zhou family hadn't come to the door again and again, and later invited their patriarch out, grandma wouldn't agree."

"Luckily my grandma agreed. Otherwise, such a good son-in-law would be someone else's family. Also, sister-in-law, what I said just now was not what I said, but what the villagers said."
