Chapter 11: Zhou zhi

On the other side of the village, zhou zhi who was collecting pig weed sneezed twice .

"Sister zhi ? Are you okay ?"

Zhou zhi smiled As she nodded at her youger Sister zhou zi , who looks like a 5 years old yaya instead of an 8 years old child .

Their life is truly hard .

Zhou zhi eyes watered a bit . She can't wait for the day her father separates from the old house .

Yes , she was awake when her mother talked about their cousin Lin Lin proposal.

Their cousin who has it worse , thought of leaving the family and struggle on her own instead of suffering endlessly in this house .

She can't help but admire her .

They are the same too but they never thought of this point. It was a given thing to live such a life for them but since that night something inside of zhou zhi changed .

She no longer wants to beg for food .

She no longer wants to get beat up for not doing the work of her cousins .

She no longer wants to be treated like a cow,

She no longer wants to be looked down upon,

She no longer wants to be cursed at ,

Made fun off ,

See her mother being humiliated

Her father fighting not to divorce just because,

Just because ,

She's a girl .

Girls are not bad . Girls are good too .

Girls are as good as boys .

Girls are nice .

Girls are sensible .

Girls are ...

Zhou zi who was at the side saw her sister looking absently while her tears are spilling down her face , felt her eyes start stinging too.

"Thithterrr ...wuwuwu "

Zhou zhi snapped out of her thoughts by her sister who was now crying on the ground to finally realize that she was crying too .

She must have scared her .

"Zhou zi , zhou zi don't cry . Shush shush "

"Wuwuw .. But but sister is crying too "

"No no I'm not , some sand got in my eyes so stop crying "

Zhou zi looked at her smiling sister then nodded and wiped her face.

Zhou zhi smiled at her cute little sister who Now has snot falling on the ground.

"Let's go back for lunch , en ?"

"Yes!"

Zhou zhi took her sister hands in hers and carried the basket of pigs weed to the farm before going home .

She mustn't let these feelings control her .

She must try to have a better life in the future , just like her cousin for her family.

She must be strong for them .

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

In front of the big mulberry tree , zhou ha stood waiting for her mother for two hours.

Her mother refused to take her with her to butcher li's house for reasons she didn't know.

She can't understand how that woman thinks but one thing she's sure off , her mother is scheming for their sake .

If she succeeded in getting rid of those two girls , then the third room will be theirs .

Then her mother will surely get started with helping with Zhang li .

She can't wait till she has Zhang li to herself.

He is simply wasted on that bitch .

He is best suited to herself.

Not only is he in the army , with an allowance and national coupons . He also lives on his own. She will be her own boss in her bridal home .

She must hurry up .

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

Everyone was scheming, thinking and getting their business done while huang Lin is in her own world .

Lin Lin spent those days speaking with her siblings about various topics and fattening them up .

Other than that , Zhang li kept pestering her every minute of the day .

He will do her work for her , wipe her sweat , poor her some water and give her buns and food every few hours .

He is simply spoiling her too much .

"Say zhang li , what do you do in the army ?"

Zhang li eye's sparked when he heard that she was interested in his job but he didn't show it or so he thinks .

Of course, Lin Lin saw the obvious change in his mood , smiled at how cute he was .

"Well we do different types of tasks "

"Emm , what are the advantages of this work for you ? Did you join because of love of the job or for the pay ?"

"Well , we get to learn more skills , travel around ,know different people and make relations so even if you retire you can still have influence outside . I didn't join totally because of the pay , I guess it's because of both"

Lin Lin nodded her head at Zhang li who was still digging a hole , which was her work but he couldn't see her suffer so he took over .

This days she started liking the guy more and more . He is very attractive, attentive and selfless. All of his attention is solely hers .

She can feel his love for her .

Although, she is touched. She can't say that she likes him for sure . She also needs to know if she can trust him with her future before diving deeper .

"Zhang li , say , if I ever do something I shouldn't do , I mean something against the law what will you do ?"

Hearing her words, Zhang li stopped and looked at her deeply . He had a feeling that something changed about this little fiancé of his but he couldn't pin point it yet .

However, he started loving her even more .

She is simply too adorable ah .

And then suddenly she asked him what will he choose between; his country or her ?

"Well , if I can stop you I will try but if it's already done then I will do my best to protect you of everything and anyone that will try to hurt you . I promise you ."

Lin Lin was shocked at his answer. She thought that he will definitely choose his country so why did he choose her . Does he love her that much ?

"Yes , I love you that much and I would rather die protecting my beloved than causing her pain and living on like nothing happened "

Did she just say that out loud ?

"Yes you did "
