Chapter 1288: Li's Extra 2
Because of this, the sister-in-law acted very arrogantly in front of her. How could she look down on her?
She had no confidence until her eldest son Zhou Mai was born, and then she felt better.
By the time her daughter was born, Li's mood had improved a lot, but as luck would have it, this daughter turned out to be stupid!
In fact, boys and girls are the same in the Zhou family. Her first child was a boy, and this time it was a girl, which was just right. But she didn't expect that the child would become more and more abnormal as he grew up. He was obviously fat and handsome, and looked better than other children born in the same months in the village, but he had a fatal defect.
Huang was unwilling to accept this. How could such a beautiful daughter be stupid? She took the child to the temple to burn incense.
Then, he returned happily, "The master told us not to worry, this child will be blessed in the future. He said this child's destiny is extremely precious and must be suppressed through hardship. This is a good thing!"
The family was skeptical. They were not as devout as Huang was. They thought that this was probably a monk saying this to comfort her. After all, they had given her incense money for so many years, so how could he not say something nice?
Although Li had some doubts in her heart, she was more happy. No matter what, her mother-in-law gave her hope that the child would get better one day and become rich in the future!
The child grew up day by day, two years old, three years old, six years old...
There's no sign of improvement at all.
Every time the villagers saw Zhou Guo, they would smile and call her a little fool. Although they didn't mean much harm, Li still felt heartbroken.
Her fair and pretty daughter, if she wasn't a fool, would be prettier and smarter than anyone else in the village. Why is God so unfair? Is there an end to this deadline?
Zhou Dacai always comforted her, "Don't worry, she's so young. Didn't mom tell her that the master said she would be rich and prosperous for the rest of her life? Compared to a lifetime, these few years are nothing."
If he could be stupid for a few years and then have a lifetime of wealth, he would be happy.
Li could only nod.
She was originally a capable person who could handle both internal and external affairs, with an unyielding character in her bones. Although she was extremely sad inside, she remained calm on the surface and did what she had to do.
But since she had no family to begin with, and her daughter was like this, and her father planned to raise her at home for the rest of her life, Li became even more low-key, working as much as she could on weekdays and never competing with her sister-in-law.
Seeing her give in so much, Xu decided to stop while she was ahead. After all, they were family.
Over the years, the family's financial situation became worse and worse. By the time Zhou Guo was seven or eight years old, there was no meat on the dinner table for a long time.
Li was feeling anxious. She was afraid that someone would blame all this on her daughter, saying that she was unlucky and had brought ruin to the family.
"Bullshit! Our child is fine, fair and pretty. The master said she has good fortune ahead of her! Your child is normal, but he looks so awful, with a small nose and eyes, and a toad face. He's so ugly I can't even eat. He's destined to never get married and have no descendants!"
Huang came back from outside angrily. After walking a few steps, she heard people cursing outside, so she went out and started cursing again.
Xu, who was in the house, came out to watch the fun. When she heard the conversation between the two sides, she couldn't help but jump up and down and curse at each other, saying that they were bullying others at home. This was too much.
Li was busy playing mahjong in the yard. She was deeply moved when she heard her mother-in-law and sister-in-law defending Zhou Guo. After all, they were a family and should stand together to deal with any problems.
The two of them finished their quarrel soon and went home refreshed. Over the years, they had no idea how many times they had quarreled with others about this matter. They had even started to curse at each other.
Greetings to all generations of ancestors.
Huang looked at Li, who was quietly playing mahjong, and sighed, trying to comfort her: "It's okay, don't take it to heart. Our family has been declining year by year since before Guoguo was born. If you put it that way, her brothers and sisters all had their share; she just happened to catch up!"
Mrs. Xu nodded, "That's right, our Guoguo will be very rich in the future. When she gets well and becomes successful, she must not forget her brothers and sisters."
After all, I still have some awe of gods. Although I don’t believe in them completely, what if they are true?
Li smiled and said, "I know, mother, Guoguo will be fine."
Then he said to Xu: "They are brothers and sisters, they are family. Who else should we help if we are family?"
Li felt that it would be a good idea to keep waiting like this. As long as the family was together, what difficulties could not be overcome?
But things did not go as planned, and a disaster struck in the blink of an eye.
The boy's father and uncle were captured, and the family had to abandon their old house and flee north with the villagers.
They went from being ordinary citizens to refugees.
In troubled times, human life is like grass, worse than dogs.
Mrs. Li didn't even have time to worry about her daughter, but she unexpectedly recovered that very night! !
Eight years had passed, and on the eve of the escape, Li didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.
But she soon had no time to think so much. The children's father was not there, and there were so many things to pack up on the way to escape. They had to pack them up as soon as possible. She had to bring food to the children so that they could survive this escape.
When the escape began, the daughter she was most worried about was not only able to take care of herself, but also take care of her younger siblings, and even take care of her and her family.
Looking at her busying around, acting like an adult child, Li was in a daze many times, wondering if this was still her daughter?
Huang said proudly, "Well, Master, what you said is right, right? But you didn't believe me. I told you this child is extraordinary. I guess he must have learned a lot over the years, but he just can't speak. Otherwise, look, he doesn't look like he's been stupid for eight years. He has clearly learned a lot since he was a child. He knows everything and is even more eloquent than his uncle."
Mrs. Li couldn't help but nod. "Yes, mother, you are so right. She seems to know everything. She doesn't need to be taught anything. She even knows things that we can't. What do you think is wrong with this child?"
Huang slapped her thigh and said, "That's what I said. I remember when she was little, you said several times that the child would be well. We didn't take it seriously at that time. Maybe it was true at that time, don't you think?"
Li was stunned, and she remembered that there were several times when Zhou Guo's eyes were like those of normal people, not empty, but bright and lively. However, every time she told her family about it, the child became silly again and no one believed her.
Old Man Zhou said, "Why think so much? As long as the child is well, it's fine. She knows everything now. Isn't it better than you trying so hard to teach her from scratch? After all, she's your own child, she didn't fall from the sky."
