Chapter 57: Zhou Weixi

Carrying a pile of wooden tools and a bucket, Lin Weiwan looked at the six rural men working in the backyard and put the things into the house.

Ye Jibai came over with a small bundle of firewood and put it next to Lin Weiwan who was building a pot.

“I’ll do the firewood you just got.”

He took the stone from Lin Weiwan’s hand and piled the stones together one by one on the flat side.

All the educated youth here have packed up their things and walked out one after another.

Xu Xiaohong, holding a machete, watched the two people squatting together to build the pot and stove, and her eyes were dark and inexplicable.

She lowered her head and walked over carefully, “Lin Zhiqing, let me help you.”

Xu Xiaohong lowered her head and squatted down timidly, a little embarrassed to squeeze between Lin Weiwan and Ye Jibai.

“No, it will be done soon, thank you Xu Zhiqing.”

Lin Weiwan looked at Xu Xiaohong with a smile. Seeing that the stacking was done, there was no need to ask for a favor.

“Well, I’m going to the mountain.” Seeing that Ye Jibai didn’t even look at her, Xu Xiaohong could only carry the bamboo basket and follow the other educated youth to leave.

Zhou Weixi stood there and looked at the fair-skinned Lin Weiwan, and stopped.

Ye Jibai put the iron pot on the stone pier, pressed it twice, and was relieved when it was stable. He also brought back a bucket of water for Lin Weiwan.

Lin Weiwan sighed as she watched Ye Jibai leave without a trace of fame. The two meat buns were worth it.

Lin Weiwan boiled water for the six people behind the house, added sugar and poured it into the thermos and sent it over.

She just carried the bamboo basket and hatchet up the mountain. There were no dead trees or fallen branches below, so she could only go deeper.

“Lin Weiwan.” Zhou Weixi waited for a while at the foot of the mountain. Seeing her coming up the mountain, he called Lin Weiwan directly.

“What’s the matter? Zhou Zhiqing.” Lin Weiwan looked at Zhou Weixi who was waiting for her on purpose.

His clothes were covered with patches, and his shoes were covered with patches, so that you couldn’t even tell the original color of his clothes.

I wonder what will happen to Zhou Weixi in this life without his own job? Will he still live a comfortable and prosperous life like in his previous life?

Will he still stare at me with disgust from the second-floor window and not open the door when he comes home even though he clearly hears me knocking on the door?

Lin Weiwan couldn’t forget the condescending look Zhou Weixi gave him.

“You should call me Third Brother.” Zhou Weixi frowned. They had already recognized each other as relatives, so why was Lin Weiwan so rude?

Lin Weiwan stared at the skinny and tanned Zhou Weixi and smiled.

“Don’t you want to go back to Hai City to see him? Your mother should have already donated a kidney to save your brother.”

Zhou Weixi wanted to debate with Lin Weiwan, but Lin Weiwan asked instead.

“What do you mean?” Zhou Weixi looked at Lin Weiwan with a dark face when he heard about the kidney donation.

“What do you think? Didn’t you receive the letter from the Zhou family? You can ignore your grandfather, father, mother, and brother when they are in trouble. You are really cold-blooded.

Oh… No, it should be said that everyone in the Zhou family is quite cold-blooded. Don’t you think about why Zhou Weinan signed up to go to the countryside at this time?”

Lin Weiwan asked a heart-wrenching question. It was not enough to open the scar, but it was necessary to apply pepper water.

“Lin Weiwan, don’t be sarcastic. As a descendant of the Zhou family, you don’t care about the Zhou family’s problems and even add insult to injury. Are you a human being?”

Zhou Weixi felt very irritated when he saw Lin Weiwan looking at him with a sarcastic expression. Why did she look at him like that?

“The Zhou family members are so cold-blooded. How can I, who grew up outside, be more humane than you who live in your native families?

Zhou Weixi, if you want to meddle in other people’s affairs, you must stand on your own feet before you preach. You are not worthy in front of me.”

“Your grandfather loved you very much when you were a child. You got lost because you were playing too much. What qualifications do you have to hate the Zhou family?”

Yes, it was hatred. Zhou Weixi could see the hatred in Lin Weiwan’s eyes. Lin Weiwan hated the Zhou family.

“What about you, Zhou Weixi? Don’t you hate the Zhou family? Don’t you hate Zhou Laosi for wanting your kidney? If you don’t hate them, why don’t you go back and take a look?

Look at your grandfather who is paralyzed in bed, look at your mother who is missing a kidney, look at your brother who has kidney disease. You are your closest relatives by blood.

In this Zhou family, how many people don’t hate them? Zhou Rongrong, Zhou Weidong, Zhou Weinan, Zhou Weixi, Chen Suyun, and your grandmother who has to get up early every day to serve the whole family.

Isn’t it the tradition of your Zhou family to be unwilling to face the current life and to blame all the unhappiness on others?”

Lin Weiwan looked at Zhou Weixi with sarcasm, his face livid. Why pretend to be a good person? She knew exactly what the Zhou family was doing.

“Zhou Weixi, if you want to live a peaceful life, don’t create trouble for yourself. I hate you. Of course you hate me.

You don’t know, the Zhou family wanted to occupy the villa after they recognized each other as relatives and moved in. Zhou Rongrong even knelt down and begged me to give up my job.

Your grandfather felt sorry for your fourth brother and came to ask me to donate a kidney to your fourth brother.

Why, when you and Zhou Laoer donated kidneys, you could sign up to go to the countryside and refuse to go home and cut off contact, but I can’t complain or hate you?”

“Even if you are unhappy, you don’t have any loss. If you have the ability, why don’t you help your family? Can you live with it? You are inhuman to treat your relatives so coldly.”

Zhou Weixi once again stood at the commanding heights and looked at Lin Weiwan.

“No, you are wrong. I have been very merciful.”

After saying this, Lin Weiwan left with the bamboo basket on his back regardless of Zhou Weixi’s expression.

Zhou Weixi stared at Lin Weiwan’s leaving figure with cold eyes, and couldn’t say a word he had thought of.

Zhou Rongrong and Zhou Weinan didn’t tell him about this. They only said that Lin Weiwan watched his family go hungry and had to pay sky-high rent.

They only said that Lin Weiwan took at least 700 to 800 yuan to the countryside to take care of his grandfather and grandmother.

Looking at the missing Lin Weiwan, Zhou Weixi felt that even if Lin Weiwan was unhappy with the Zhou family, he was too ruthless.

Many people in the village on the mountain had found dead trees and picked up wood ears.

Lin Weiwan could only carry the bamboo basket and go deeper.

After climbing a whole hill, there was no one around. Lin Weiwan saw a large dead redwood tree.

He quickly took out the hatchet from the basket and chopped at the roots of the tree.

Lin Weiwan swung his arms and chopped down again and again, and soon the tree was cut off.

Looking at the fir tree that was more than three meters long, he could only cut it into two pieces, tie it with hemp ropes and drag it back. Otherwise, it would be heavier to cut it into small pieces.

Just as he was about to chop again, he saw a flash of red in the forest.

Lin Weiwan took out his slingshot, picked up three stones and followed. Less than three meters away, he saw the pheasant pecking at something with its head down.

Lin Weiwan quickly pulled the slingshot tight, and the stones flew out like bullets, and the pheasant fell to the ground.

“Ah…Brother Shi Li, I picked up a pheasant.”
