After two years like this, the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant.
It was a good thing that the eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, but the eldest son started to cause trouble.
He said that he was going to be a father soon. How could he continue to live in a mud house? He wanted Zhang Fugui and Li Huiru to build a brick house for him.
Zhang Huiru gave Li Fugui and Zhang Fugui the money. They made up their minds and married off Lao Wu and Lao Liu.
However, the problem was that Lao Wu and Lao Liu's betrothal gifts were not as good as the construction price of a brick house. Coincidentally, they heard that a widow was looking for a son-in-law. Zhang Huiru and Li Fugui immediately went to discuss the price. They wanted to send Lao San to be the son-in-law.
It was shameful enough to be a son-in-law. Zhang Huiru and Li Fugui wanted Lao San to be the son-in-law of a woman who was nine years older than him. How could Lao San be willing?
But he didn't want Zhang Fugui to scold him, and Li Huiru was crying and wiping her tears. She kept saying that he was disobedient and unfilial, and the villagers who didn't know the inside story also looked at him with strange eyes. Zhang Laosan had no choice but to become the son-in-law of the family.
Zhang Laosan's wife had two children. His son was nine years old and his daughter was six years old. Both of them had already started to remember things. They looked down on this stepfather who came to their home. The widow also yelled all kinds of things and despised this Zhang Laosan who only knew how to farm all day long.
Zhang Laosan was a man of few words. He would not argue with others when they looked at him like that. He just worked harder in the field.
Lao San thought that since he had already come, he would treat other people's children as his own. After two years, he would also have a child. Then, he would have a complete family.
Lao San's wish soon came true. The widow was pregnant. After knowing that he was going to be a father, Lao San was overjoyed. Whether it was at home or outside, he took care of everything. He even cooked his own meals, saying that he wanted the widow to take care of the baby in peace.
However, Lao San didn't get the reward for his efforts.
The widow still looked down on him. She even aborted the child when he wasn't paying attention.
When he found out that his child was gone, Lao San went crazy. He questioned the widow, but the widow was even fiercer than him. She said that he didn't have the ability and only knew how to farm. How could he raise the child?
Her words sounded dignified, but in reality, she was looking down on him and was unwilling to bear his children.
Zhang Laosan was not good with words. His face turned pale after being scolded. But after that, he could only grit his teeth and continue working.
In the blink of an eye, his stepson and stepdaughter had grown up. However, Zhang Laosan had to prepare betrothal gifts and dowries for them. When the two children had established their own families, the widow was old and died just like that.
After the widow died, her son directly sent Zhang Laosan to live in the utility room. He didn't even let him eat at the table. Zhang Laosan had spent all his money on his stepson's marriage. In order to make a living, he could only help people herding cows and collecting pigweed in exchange for a small amount of money.
A few years later, someone found Zhang Laosan's body at the foot of the mountain. It was said that he fell while herding cows on the mountain and died from excessive blood loss.
Zhang Laosan's tragedy originated from his parents. The widow added fuel to the fire, and the widow's son and daughter were the last executioners.
After Zhang Laosan died, his relatives thought that it was shameful for him to be the son-in-law of another family. No one was willing to come. His stepson didn't acknowledge his existence at all. He just buried him and was done with it.
Fox had always been grateful to Zhang Laosan for saving his life. He hoped that Jiujiu could change Zhang Laosan's fate. He hoped that Zhang Laosan would be rewarded for his kindness.
After reading Fox's memory of Zhang Laosan's life, Jiujiu couldn't help but sigh.
She thought that such a person only existed in TV dramas. However, the reality was more melodramatic than TV dramas. It made her feel more wronged.
Zhang Laosan was an honest man. He was filial, diligent, and even kind. He treated everyone well, but others didn't treat him well. Even his death was so pitiful.
He was an old man who fell down from the mountain. He didn't want to die, but because no one found him, he could only feel that he was losing blood little by little. Then he died just like that.
Jiujiu sighed. Even if Fox didn't ask her to, she wanted to treat Zhang Laosan well.
The task asked Fox, so Jiujiu naturally turned into a fox. However, because it was inconvenient for a fox to do the task, Jiujiu directly asked Little White to turn her into a human.
However, when a fox turned into a human, it was a fox spirit.
Fox's leg was injured by a bear trap. Even if Zhang Laosan let her out, it was inevitable that it was a little inconvenient for her to walk. It was fine if she walked slowly, but when she walked, it was obvious that there was something wrong with her leg.
It was the first time that Jiujiu became a cripple. It was quite refreshing for her. However, after the novelty, she was irritated because the feeling of walking was too uncomfortable.
Jiujiu used the gold hidden by Fox to exchange for a large sum of money. Then, she went to the hospital for surgery to make her leg look normal.
The fox's legs were a result of not treating them in time, resulting in one leg being longer than the other. If Jiujiu wanted both legs to be the same, she would have to break the bones that had already grown and reconnect them.
Not many people could endure this kind of suffering.
However, Jiujiu gritted her teeth and endured it. However, because the surgery took a long time, it was almost a year when Jiujiu could almost walk normally.
Recently, a major event happened in Zhang Fugui's village.
It was more sensational than the opening of the college entrance examination. The first college student in the village was admitted. A girl settled in the village.
If it was an ordinary girl, it might not have caused such a stir. However, that girl was not only beautiful, but also rich. She immediately built a brick house on the east side of the village. After the house was renovated, there were even people who drove cars to deliver things to her.
What did they send? They sent some relatively rare household appliances, such as televisions and refrigerators. There were even rare things that they had never seen before.
On the first day that the girl moved in, the villagers went to watch as if it was the New Year. The people who went were even more amazed after seeing the rare items. After seeing the girl, many young men who were not married directly stared at her because the girl was too beautiful.
With a height of 1.6 meters, even if she was wearing loose clothes, one could see her curvaceous figure. Not to mention the white oval face and the pair of fox eyes that seemed to be able to discharge electricity. Just a glance could make one's body numb. Not to mention, the village chief said that the girl came from the city. It was said that she was injured some time ago and came to recuperate.
