325 The Zhou Family’s Worry

Zhou Fangfang went to work in the neighboring Stoneback Village, which surprised the villagers.

Shi Lichun’s niece from Stoneback Village had set up a company. This news was already known by all the villages.

This was because many people would recommend children of their relatives after hearing that this company was recruiting people.

Zhou Fangfang’s parents had only given birth to her, and her parents were older. Her father’s two brothers had been keeping an eye on their family without a son. Naturally, Zhou Fangfang’s family was bullied.

The village believed that they would definitely have no descendants in the future.

Zhou Fangfang’s eldest uncle and brother-in-law were waiting to eat her family’s extinction.

Although they did not press her, they have been urging the matchmaker to come and try to marry Zhou Fangfang off as soon as possible since she was 15 or 16 years old.

However, Zhou Fangfang said that she would not get married and would stay at home. If the man was willing to be their live-in son-in-law, she could meet him. If he was unwilling, then they would forget it!

This was the era when the country had the tightest grip on family planning policies. A single-child policy was adhered to in big cities.

However, in the countryside, it was more common to have two or three children. However, if one took a closer look, one would realize that there were very few people in the family who had two or three children.

Who would be willing to be a live-in son-in-law unless it was absolutely necessary?

This was a matter of losing face and dignity.

As for the men who were willing to visit, they were all old bachelors. Of course, Zhou Fangfang looked down on them.

Although Zhou Fangfang was 22 years old today, the threshold of her house had almost been trampled by the matchmaker.

If Zhou Fangfang hadn’t gone out of the village to work, it was really possible.

The Zhou family had been indifferent for six years. This made his uncle and brother-in-law, who were staring at his family’s property, stomp their feet in anger.

From time to time, the aunts would come to the Zhou family to scold them. They scolded them for not dying at their age and for dragging their daughter down and occupying the Zhou family’s property. Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were so angry that they almost fought with them.

However, they were old and did not have a son. If they fought and were injured or crippled, it would be their daughter who would suffer.

Therefore, they could only avoid these relatives.

As soon as Zhou Fangfang returned home with her parents on the electric scooter, she noticed an old lady in her seventies standing at their door. As soon as she saw them return, she began to mock them.

“Aiyo, the university student from our village is back. Why? Have you found a job? Hehe, if you ask me, why would a girl like you need a job? Getting married is the right way.”

Aunt Zhou said sarcastically, “Other university students work in big companies in big cities. Why did you come to our small village to work? ”

“Hmph, with your standard, I reckon that even a small country company won’t want you! Hehe, you should hurry up and get married. After you get married, you can vacate my Zhou family’s house and land. My third great-grandson is about to be born, and there’s almost no place to stay at home.”

After that, she was blatantly showing off, saying that her family was prolific.

Zhou Fangfang turned off the electric scooter and retorted calmly, “Aunt, what do you mean by your Zhou family’s house and land? The house was built by my parents after they got married. The land was given to our family when my grandparents were still alive. Therefore, neither the house nor the land is yours. It’s none of our business if you don’t have space in your house. If you can’t live in it, then use your money to rebuild it.”

Aunt Zhou snorted and said, “Hmph, your parents don’t have a son. In the future, these things will belong to my family. Zhou Fangfang, you’re a girl. You can’t support your family at all. You’ll get married sooner or later. Also, did your parents teach you the rules? How dare you talk back to your elders!”

Zhou Fangfang pursed her lips and said, “This rule is for educated people. Aunt, what do you think?”

She was scolding Aunt Zhou for being ill-mannered.

“Zhou Fangfang, you’ve become so eloquent after a short trip out of the village. You actually dare to educate your elders.” Aunt Zhou put one hand on her waist and pointed at Zhou Fangfang with the other. She shouted angrily, “Everyone, come and take a look. Zhou Fangfang is actually educating her elders.”

The entire family was lively. The villagers watched it every day, but they still felt that it was entertaining.

They were there to watch the show, but no one spoke up for the Zhou family’s parents.

That was because most people in the village could not afford to offend Mr. Zhou’s brothers.

Mr. Zhou said angrily, “You don’t even act like an elder. Should we be bullied by you? Let me tell you, as long as I’m around, don’t even think about bullying my daughter. ”

“Don’t you want my house and land? ”

“Alright, from today onwards, the two of us will stay at your house and let your sons take care of us. If we fall sick, they will have to fork out money and work hard to take care of us. If we die, they will have to bury us.”

Aunt Zhou’s face darkened when she heard that. She said angrily, “Why should my son support you in your old age? You two old things don’t have a son, but you’re fantasizing.”

What double standards!

“Then why should my family’s house and land be given to your family?” Father Zhou retorted sharply in anger. “Since you’ve obtained my family’s house and land, shouldn’t you support us in our old age? Didn’t you say that if I don’t have a son, they’re my sons? Isn’t it only right for a son to take care of his parents?”

They were old and could fall sick at any time. There were many things to spend money on.

Who would be willing to spend this money on them?

“Oh, when you wanted our house and land, your son said that he was my son. If it came to taking care of us, he wouldn’t be my son anymore. Sister-in-law, even if you want to snatch our house, your table manners are too ugly.”

Mr. Zhou said angrily, “I’m telling you, if you want my house, you can ask the village committee and hire a lawyer to ensure a fair process. I’ll give my house and land to your family, but your son has to pay us for our retirement every month. When we fall sick, he has to fork out money to take care of us and do our best to take care of us. If your son can do it, I’ll give you my house and land. How about it? Do you dare?”

All the suppressed anger exploded at this moment.

So what if he didn’t have a son?

Without a son, did he deserve to be bullied and robbed of his property?

What would happen to his daughter in the future?

Aunt Zhou looked at Father Zhou’s aggressive expression and then at the house. His arrogance instantly made her timid.

She said loudly, “Dream on. How much are your house and land worth? To think you still want my son to support you in your old age? Pfft, in your next life!”

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou were so angry that they laughed.

The surrounding villages were also amused.
