Zhou's mother didn't care about any of that. She rolled her eyes and said that she had heard that Zhou Pandi had not only spent half a month in jail, but had also been fired from the textile factory.

If we don't grab some now, we might not have any left later.

“I raised you all these years, and instead of taking care of your mother, you're arguing with me about these things. You're such an ingrate, I've wasted my time raising you.”

Zhou Pandi got angry as soon as she heard this. There were many sisters in the family, but she was the most conscientious. Since she got married, she had always thought about her family and visited them the most frequently.

She would share any good food or useful items she had with her and rush to send them back.

Now, she couldn't even get a sip of water in return. Tears welled up in Zhou Pandi's eyes, and her shoulders trembled.

"Mom, do you have any conscience? How could you say such a thing? If it weren't for me, given the state of the Zhou family, it's questionable whether we'd even have enough to eat!"

Zhou's mother turned her head and spat.

"Pah! You're just spouting nonsense. You really think you're the pillar of the Zhou family? I raised you, and you expect me to repay your kindness? You're really something else. I think you've really gotten carried away after just a few days as a worker."

Zhou Pan opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, her mother chased her out with a broom.

"From now on, I am no longer your mother, and I am no longer your son. I will pretend I never had a daughter like you!"

Tears welled up in Zhou Pandi's eyes as she stared at the Zhou family's gate for a while before angrily turning and leaving.

snort!

She wasn't even given a sip of water; she doesn't have a mother like that!

The moonlight hung high in the sky, its pale light bright but not dazzling, evenly illuminating the path ahead for Zhou Pan to see.

Hao Ren locked the door from the inside, so they couldn't go to the Zhou family's house. Where could they go?

Zhou Pandi looked up and casually glanced around, then her gaze suddenly fixed on something, and she slowly lightened her steps, walking along the corner of the wall.

"Zhenjun, I truly love you. If, if your parents really can't accept me, I... I'm willing to follow you without any official status."

Touched by what he heard, Qiao Zhenjun gently stroked Miao Fengying's delicate face. The moment he touched her, Qiao Zhenjun felt completely overwhelmed.

The feel of it... Even with his mind wandering, he didn't forget to verbally agree with Miao Fengying, "I like you too, Fengying."

"Don't worry, if they don't accept you, I'll go home and steal my household registration book, and we'll register and get a marriage certificate. I've decided on you for the rest of my life."

Miao Fengying's eyes lit up, and she became even more delicate and frail, clinging to Qiao Zhenjun as if she were hanging on him. "Zhenjun, you're such a man..."

Zhou Pandi hid on the other side of the wall and couldn't help but touch the goosebumps on his arm. How cheesy! What a real man! He's shameless!

Wait, Fengying?

Why does this name sound so familiar?

Zhou Pan thought to herself for a moment, then her eyes widened suddenly. Wasn't this Fengying Miao Fengying?

The girl that Wu Mingxia's second son has been pursuing relentlessly lately.

Zhou Pandi became inexplicably excited, pressing her ear against the corner of the wall, wanting to continue listening.

She heard a rustling sound of clothes being taken off. Zhou Pandi's eyes widened in surprise. She blinked, and then a soft moan mixed with a cry of pain reached her ears.

this...?!

The two are...

Zhou Pandi blushed as she listened, then, after a while, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes. She was clearly not a virgin; she had probably slept with men countless times before, let alone been a child for the first time.

Less than a minute later, when no sound could be heard, Zhou Pandi chuckled. This one was useless too.

"who!"

The next second, Zhou Pandi covered her mouth and quickly left along the corner of the wall.

After a rustling sound of clothes being put on, Miao Fengying emerged from behind Qiao Zhenjun, tears streaming down her face.

Qiao Zhenjun looked around but didn't see anyone. He turned and hugged Miao Fengying to comfort her, "It's okay, you must have misheard. Nobody's here, nobody's here."

Miao Fengying revealed her face, tears streaming down her cheeks, and said anxiously, "No, there's someone, I'm sure I didn't mishear, there's someone...someone..." (laughs).

She didn't dare say the rest; if she did, Qiao Zhenjun would definitely be furious.

Laughing? What are you laughing at?

Should we laugh at his incompetence? Or at his short stature?

Miao Fengying was anxious, but Qiao Zhenjun didn't take it seriously. "Alright, stop crying. I will definitely take responsibility for you. I'm going home now. If they don't agree, I won't let them sleep and I'll make a huge scene."

After saying that, he kissed Miao Fengying on the forehead and turned to leave.

Miao Fengying watched the person leave, then grabbed her collar hard. A hint of disgust flashed across her face, but the anxiety in her eyes was genuine.

There's never been anyone here before, so why is there someone here today? And they even overheard us.

After thoroughly examining the area, I found nothing and could only angrily return home.

Meanwhile, Qiao's parents had no idea that their son had cooked the rice again.

"I wonder if our son has been drugged. He hasn't come home for so many days. Has he made up his mind to marry that woman?"

Qiao Jianguo slammed his hand on the table and said irritably, "He wants to marry me? No way!"

Others may not know about Miao women, but this couple certainly does. For example, their wife's brother was once extorted by Miao mother.

This isn't just about extorting money; Jia Hua was also thinking about how her brother had been stalked by Miao's mother.

It turned my brother's house upside down and almost caused a death.

Thinking about this, she gave Miao Fengying a cold look.

If Miao's mother is no good, then what good is Miao Fengying? She's a womanizer and her reputation is ruined.

If her son marries a woman like that, he'll have the words "green-haired turtle" tattooed on his forehead.

Qiao Jianguo glanced at Jia Hua's expression and didn't dare to say that he knew Miao's mother was indecent, especially since the object of her indecent behavior was himself.

When Qiao Jianguo saw Qiao Zhenjun leading Miao Fengying home, his vision went black.

As the saying goes, "What kind of vine bears what kind of fruit." Seeing Miao Fengying standing in front of him, touching his son's groin and leaning on his shoulder, he knew in his heart that this Miao mother's daughter was no good either.

"Dad, Mom, I'm home."

Qiao Zhenjun returned home excitedly, beaming with joy, which made his parents' hearts skip a beat.

"So what if you're back? Why are you shouting?"

Qiao Jianguo didn't speak kindly and immediately made a derogatory remark.

Qiao Zhenjun realized he was getting too excited, so he calmed himself down and said slowly, "What about the household registration book? I need to take care of something."

Qiao Zhenjun thought about it all the way and decided to act first and inform them later. By then, the marriage certificate would be issued and they wouldn't be able to object. They would have no choice but to accept Fengying as their daughter-in-law.

Qiao Jianguo instinctively became wary. "Household registration booklet? What do you need a household registration booklet for?"

Jia Hua and her husband stood on the same side, staring at Qiao Zhenjun and said, "That's right, you've graduated and gotten a job at the factory, but you still need your household registration book to do anything."
