Chapter 9 : chi lan

Later at night , second uncle's wife chi lan turned to her husband and said

" husband , today mom was absent minded during the meal. Don't you think that something bad happened? "

Second uncle zhou er frowned when he remembered his fierce mother sighing during dinner .

"Chi lan , what do you think happened?"

"I don't know but it must be something to do with zhou bai . She must be worried about him. I heard that matchmaker Ming fai came in the morning after we went to the fields.

Maybe she didn't find any good match for him"

"Yeah maybe "

"But .."

"But what ?"

"I can't help but think that something is wrong with Lui zan . She was smiling smugly during the dinner not caring about anything else "

"You must be thinking too much . Let's sleep"

Chi lan pursued her lips watching her husband go back to sleep .

This dumb men cares about sleep more than anything else . Even her .

(Zhou er , waifu wants some attention XD )

But she truly can't ignore her gut feeling , telling her that , lui zan that serpent is hiding something from everyone.

(I'm thinking about changing her name to serpent lol 😂)

She must find out about it as soon as possible.

This lui zan is her nemesis since she married in the zhou family .

However, it got worse in the past few years .

The reason is simple ; each one of them wants to get the third room to themselves.

Don't talk about huang Lin and her siblings , the old man loves them too much and the old women will get the room to her son zhou bai once it's empty .

But , Zhou San , the third uncle , has two girls and no boys .

Making him the best target for them.

Ones she manages to get them out of the room , she can keep it to herself for her son zhou wan earlier on or he won't have a room in the future to marry into just like zhou bai .

Back in the first room , lui zan was smiling widely . The corners of her mouth stretching from side to side while telling her daughter zhou ha about her next move .

"Wow Mother , you are really viscous! "

"Hahaha , of course I'm. How do you think I survived in this family for so long? Definitely not by being soft ! "

"En , you are right . I will follow your steps mom "

"Good daughter. Now go to bed , mother have a huge task tomorrow morning "

"En , good night mom "

"Good night zhou ha "

********************************************

The next morning

Lui zan disappeared with zhou ha early in the morning .

Chi lan who was following her every move frowned when she didn't see the two .

" mom , where did Lui zan go to early in the morning for ?"

Peng shi who just sent her daughter in law to figure out a way to make money for the price bride almost said the truth out loud.

She couldn't tell anyone about this just like Lui zan said until they have the money in their hands .

Instead , she shouted at chi lan

"You only care about gossip early in the morning ! You worthless bitch !

I sent her to ask for some food from her family, why don't you go back home to bring some food too ?"

Chi lan shut her mouth immediately after .

How can she ask her family for food?

They can barely feed themselves.

Her family isn't like Lui zan who have two brothers in town working in the factory ah .

This was one of her sore spots.

That must be the reason why Lui zan was smiling yesterday.

She was showing off her family support for her.

She better not open her mouth again .

Chi lan escaped as fast as possible before the old woman open her mouth again.

Short chap because I wanted to put the other half in a chap on its own . It feels more meaningful that way .
