C7 The Courage of the Eldest Sister-in-law

Zhou Heng did not stop his footsteps, but he heard the sound of Lee Wanning placing her chopsticks on the table heavily.

When he turned around, he saw Lee Wanning glaring at him. "You don't want to acknowledge me as your sister-in-law, do you?"

Zhou Heng glanced at his big brother. After a long while, he slowly said, "No."

"Alright, I'll tell you what we need to do today and what we need to do in the future."

Hearing Lee Wanning's words, Zhou Qu felt strange and said, "Isn't this the way it is now?"

"Yes, but not either."

As Lee Wanning said this, she stood up and said, "I can understand that your family used to be filled with men, but now that I've come, this family needs to have a family. I just looked at it in the kitchen and there's still something edible left. Don't go hunting today, let's come today … "Great Sweep!"

In Zhou Qu's mind, he didn't really understand what it meant by "clean up", but Lee Wanning didn't give him the chance to refuse.

After breakfast, Lee Wanning covered her nose and mouth with a piece of cloth to prevent dirt from entering. Afterwards, she had them bring out everything in the room.

Zhou Qu went to the river to fetch water. Zhou Heng helped to get rid of the things that Lee Wanning had piled up for hundreds of years.

Zhou Huai was still hiding in his room. Lee Wanning thought it was probably the worst house. When she forcefully pulled him out, it was no different from a rubbish dump.

Lee Wanning didn't allow Zhou Huai to refuse and directly cleaned up everything inside. At that time, Zhou Huai almost fought with his life on the line.

Lee Wanning looked at him and said, "You are already seventeen. You can hide in the house for the rest of your life, but I will not raise you for the rest of your life!"

There was no doubt in Lee Wanning's words, which made Zhou Heng angry. However, since Zhou Qu was obedient to Lee Wanning, and since he had listened to his brother since childhood, no matter how angry he was, he could only suppress it.

However, it had to be said that after a day of hard work, the entire room had become completely new.

It was still the same house, but it felt different.

They had something Lee Wanning had prepared in the morning. It looked like rice and a little meat. Lee Wanning was already tired, but she still struggled to get up and made a meal.

Before this, Zhou Family were always cooked by the two men, Zhou Qu and Zhou Heng. They were both prey brought over from the mountains by Zhou Qu, so they would casually cook or roast for a meal.

In the evening, Lee Wanning picked up a hare and asked Zhou Qu to pull out its fur, plus she told Zhou Heng to go to the neighbor's house to get some chili to simmer together.

Wild vegetables were fried and fried with fat. They were all wild vegetables, yet people could smell their fragrance from afar.

In the evening, when Lee Wanning served the two dishes, Zhou Heng and Zhou Huai's eyes were almost completely glued to the plates. However, they did not start eating first. Only Dai and Lee Wanning started to eat after picking up their chopsticks.

"This... "Delicious." Zhou Heng's initial reaction was even greater, but after he looked at Lee Wanning, his words became like this.

Zhou Qu also said, "It's really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious dishes before."

Lee Wanning smiled and then looked at Zhou Huai, "Third, when your brother comes up the mountain tomorrow, you go with him and help me pick some mushrooms and wild herbs."

Hearing Lee Wanning's words, Zhou Huai's face suddenly changed. Zhou Heng had already said, "I will go."

Zhou Qu also said, "I can do it myself. I'm familiar with this mountain, I can do it by myself."

"No." Lee Wanning said firmly, "You two are still busy with your own things. Third brother, like I said, you can't possibly be a cat in that house for your whole life. Are you even a man?" Your big brother has been on the mountain for so many years and has never seen anything happen, yet he still goes up every day.

Hearing Lee Wanning's words, even Zhou Qu felt that it was too much. Just as he was about to go and pull Lee Wanning away, Zhou Huai gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

Hearing this, Lee Wanning immediately laughed and said, "That's right."

That night, Lee Wanning had already cleaned up a latrine and came out. She boiled a bucket of Zhou Qu's water and spilled it all over. She felt all the nerves in her body relax.

Aside from the roof, all the houses in Zhou Family were made of wood. In order to prevent them from getting naked, Lee Wanning had also made curtains in the surroundings, and the door was also locked. Like this, Lee Wanning still did not feel much security.

The water cooled down quickly. Lee Wanning poured the water and walked into the room with wet hair. She saw Zhou Qu sitting at the table.

Lee Wanning sat down beside him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lee Wanning said as she wiped her hair. Zhou Qu looked at her for a while before turning his eyes away and said, "Nothing, I just feel like this house is suddenly a little strange."

Lee Wanning smiled and said, "It's because you're not used to losing so many things at once. Let me tell you something. If you want to improve the quality of your life, the best thing is to throw things away regularly. Those useless things can be thrown away a long time ago.

As Lee Wanning said this, she felt that someone was looking at her with a strange expression. That gaze made her pause for a moment before she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, I just felt that …" "Previously, the matchmaker in the village told me to marry her. I never agreed because I was afraid my two younger brothers would suffer. Now …"

"You're regretting it now, aren't you?" Lee Wanning said with a smile.

Zhou Qu shook his head and said, "I'm glad. If I agreed at that time, I wouldn't have been able to meet you."

Lee Wanning only realized that the man in front of her was praising her after a while. She giggled and then said slowly, "Alright, the day has just begun. You still have to get up early tomorrow. Go to sleep."

Zhou Qu nodded and then laid down on the bed.

That was a bed specially made for his marriage. It was very spacious, but Zhou Qu only slept on the side in a very small area. He even felt like he was about to fall off the bed, making a huge space for himself.

Looking at the man in front of her, Lee Wanning felt that her decision was completely rational.

The next day, when Zhou Qu woke up, he found that Lee Wanning had woken up and was cooking in the kitchen.

Seeing that she had woken up, Lee Wanning said, "Go and wash your face first. Dinner will be ready in a moment."

Zhou Qu looked at the person who was busy in the kitchen and suddenly remembered that when Aunt Lee came to his home that day, the village told him about the bad things that happened to the Li family's girl. At that time, Zhou Qu actually wanted to break the engagement, but thinking about how this girl's reputation was already like this, he casually took advantage of it.

However, what he did not think of was that the person that others spoke of as a bad person turned out to be a treasure.

Lee Wanning noticed that Zhou Qu was just standing there, but she slowly walked over and said, "What are you doing? "Are you not feeling well?"

Zhou Qu finally came back to his senses and said, "No …" "No."

Just as Zhou Qu finished his sentence, Zhou Huai slowly came out of the house.

He was wearing the clothes Lee Wanning found in Zhou Heng's room yesterday. After cleaning up, he finally looked like a spirited young lad.

Lee Wanning took a basket from the side and said, "Don't worry, your brother is very powerful. In this world, men need to have some scars to look good. Look at your brother, you must want to become a man like him, right?"

Yesterday, because of Lee Wanning's fierce look, Zhou Qu really thought that Lee Wanning treated Zhou Huai as a burden. But now, it seems that wasn't the case.

Zhou Huai slowly nodded his head at Lee Wanning's words.

Lee Wanning smiled and said, "You are brothers. I think you can do it. Bring me some good food today, I'll cook some good food for you tonight!"

Zhou Qu had already washed his face. Just as he was about to come over to say something, he heard Zhou Huai slowly say, "Okay …" Sister-in-law. "

Zhou Huai rarely spoke. After that, Zhou Qu even thought that Zhou Huai had become mute. Now that he heard Zhou Huai's voice, his jaw dropped.

Lee Wanning, on the other hand, didn't think much of it. She placed the cooked food and the dried rations she had prepared earlier into a bag and said, "I can't take care of you at noon today. You two must eat on time, understand?"

Zhou Qu nodded, "Alright."

After the two of them left, Lee Wanning ate her own meal. Then, she walked in front of Zhou Heng's room, knocked on the door and said, "Wake up, the sun's shining on your buttocks!"

When Zhou Heng woke up, Lee Wanning told him to wash the bowl. She took out all the bedding and prepared to wash it by the river.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but ask as he looked at her small body, "Why are you washing this for?"

"Dirty!" Do you know that there will be mites in there all year round that don't wash and don't bask in the sun? "Forget it, you don't know either. If you have the strength, then help me move these things to the river."

"I don't want it. As a man, if I go to wash my clothes, it would be a joke."

Lee Wanning found it strange and asked, "Then how did you wash your clothes before?"

"Big brother said that we just need to dry ourselves a little bit …"

Lee Wanning felt like vomiting.

Even though Zhou Heng refused it in his heart, but under Lee Wanning's coercing, he still helped her bring the bedding to the river bank.

When the two of them walked over, the people who were happily chatting suddenly stopped talking and even moved to the side.

Lee Wanning was already used to their peculiar gazes, so she directly squatted down and began to wash her clothes.

At that moment, a voice called out. "Second brother, this elder sister-in-law of yours is quite capable. I'll have you help me wash my clothes the next day."
