My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Chapter 137 Zhu Xiaomei is still alive

Boss Zhu, who was pretending to leave, turned around and looked at his mother with a gloomy look.

He didn't know whether his mother's words were within his expectations or beyond his expectations.

"Mom, we are your children." Boss Zhu squeezed out these words from his throat.

Mrs. Zhu said, "You are my children, but I now rely on the Si family for my livelihood. This is my home."

Zhu Laosi actually didn't quite agree with his elder brother's behavior, but when he heard what Zhu Pozi said, he couldn't help but feel sad, as if he had been abandoned by his mother.

He saw Xiaoxiaer, who was held in Mrs. Zhu's arms, looking at them curiously with her big black eyes.

He couldn't help but think of his own Si Ya. Although Si Ya was not as pretty as Xiao Xiaer, she was also so well-behaved when she was a child. She was his first child.

"Mom, how could you do this? You treat Xiaoxia'er better than your own granddaughter..."

Mrs. Zhu's hands began to tremble, and she unconsciously used some force. Xiaoxia felt uncomfortable, so she arched her back in Mrs. Zhu's arms. Mrs. Zhu came to her senses and quickly hugged her.

"Puff, puff!" Xiao Xiaer spit at Zhu Lao Da and Zhu Lao Si, making their faces covered with saliva.

Zhu Lao Da took a step back in disgust, but Zhu Lao Si did not move. Children love to drool and spit. His Si Ya was the same when she was a child.

But at that time, with so many children in the family, even if they had separated and had to work during the day, the sisters-in-law would send their children to his house. Mother had too many children to take care of, so Si Ya was mostly held by Dachun.

Unlike Xiaoxia now, her clothes were clean and fresh, and her face was not chapped by the wind like other children in the village.

He saw a box of ointment in his mother's arms. He wiped Xiaoxia's saliva and applied a little of the ointment on her chin, so that her chin would not be red and swollen.

This kind of meticulousness and consideration was something I had never experienced when Si Ya was around.

Boss Zhu said coldly, "Mother, you are so cruel to your own sons? Mother, don't forget how Daya and Siya died! Don't you have to pay for their deaths?"

"How do you want your mother to compensate you?" The second sister was almost pissed off by this shameless Boss Zhu.

She now completely understood what her elder sister said. Aunt Zhu was stupid, and the real bad guy was Boss Zhu!

Boss Zhu said with a gloomy face: "The porridge shop is for me and my fourth brother. We will not pursue the matter of Daya and Siya anymore."

At this time, several curious villagers came over.

Aunt Zhu rushed to Boss Zhu. When she heard what he said, she was surprised at first, but then she became happy. Men are smart. Is he still afraid that his mother-in-law will not give them the porridge?

Mrs. Zhu was disheartened and handed Xiaoxiaer to her second sister.

"Mrs. Zhu, please don't do anything rash." The second sister refused to take the child, fearing that Mrs. Zhu would do something stupid after Xiaoxia'er was gone. "I... I have something else to do, Mrs. Zhu, you have to help me take care of the child."

Aunt Zhu sneered: "She's just a little girl, aren't you afraid that she will harm your daughter?"

The second sister was furious and said, "Mrs. Zhu is not that kind of person..."

"Tong girl." Granny Zhu was very calm and put Xiaoxia'er in her arms. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Even without them, I still have the second and third brothers. Life is so good now, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

The second sister was skeptical, but after all, she was her own daughter, so she quickly hugged her.

When Aunt Zhu heard this, how could she, with her hot temper, tolerate it?

She immediately started yelling, "Of course your life is better now. You're such a cruel person! You killed your two granddaughters... Oh no, don't forget, you also killed your two daughters. What a sin!"

These are the pains in Mrs. Zhu's heart, but her son and daughter-in-law don't care at all and keep opening these scars again and again.

Mrs. Zhu's face was pale and she was shaking all over.

The second sister was anxious and asked the villagers, "Where is my eldest sister? Why didn't they come? Where are the second and third brothers Zhu?"

It's impossible for him not to know about what happened later. But why didn't the eldest sister, the younger sister, and the other two brothers of the Zhu family come?

A woman said, "A respectable-looking couple came in, saying they were looking for someone, a woman named Zhu Fujiao... Isn't she the only family with the surname Zhu in our village?"

"Zhu Fujiao?" Second Sister frowned. "I've never heard of her."

But Mrs. Zhu was shocked: "Zhu Fujiao, that was my old name."

When she came to Songji Village with her son and daughter, everyone called her Aunt Zhu. As the children grew up, she gradually became Mrs. Zhu, and no one called her by her name.

The woman continued, "Oh, they say they are your relatives outside. The couple also said that you have four sons and four fields."

Mrs. Zhu hesitated and said, "The elders and their family weren't called that before. They only called themselves Tian after they came to Songji Village... Who is that person?"

Si Muyan came in with a middle-aged woman who was nearly 30 years old. The woman glanced around and looked at Mrs. Zhu. Her eyes fixed on her and she couldn't help but shed tears.

This woman looks somewhat similar to Mrs. Zhu, and her eyebrows, eyes, and nose look exactly like Zhu Laosi's.

Granny Zhu asked tremblingly, "Are you...my little sister?"

"Mother, my mother!" The woman rushed forward and knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu also knelt down and hugged her, crying bitterly: "You are still alive? Still alive! Wuuwuwu."

"I'm still alive, mother, I'm still alive."

The Zhu family's daughter had returned, shocking the villagers. She had been lost for only six years, and now, twenty-two years later, she had been found.

"Zhu Meihua is still alive? She's so lucky! She fell off such a high cliff and still managed to survive."

"That's right. My husband helped look for her back then. He said she must have fallen to her death and then been dragged away and eaten by wild animals in the mountains."

"Oh, and many people say that it was Mrs. Zhu who pushed her daughter over on purpose and didn't want to raise her. Now it seems that's not true. The six-year-old girl already remembers everything. If it was her mother who pushed her over, she would definitely not come back to recognize her relatives even if she was still alive."

"It's all hearsay. When Mrs. Zhu was young, she loved plum blossoms."

……

Si Muyan asked her second and youngest sisters to comfort the crying mother and daughter. She didn't care about the Zhu family's affairs and went out to talk to Zhu Meihua's husband.

Zhu Meihua's husband's surname is Zhao. He is a merchant in Yuanjiang, mainly traveling around the country to trade goods.

Boss Zhao explained, "It's Chinese New Year, so we shouldn't have come to disturb you. It was just that Pan'er fell ill on the way, which delayed us. Otherwise, we would have arrived a few days earlier."

Pan'er is Zhu Meihua's current name.
