"Director, that's wonderful! You're finally awake!" The man couldn't help but cry tears of joy; his life had finally been saved.

The man nodded slightly and looked at Shen Banxia, ​​"Thank you for saving my life."

Shen Banxia waved her hand, "It's not worth it. I've only seen similar situations before."

She then noticed that the man in front of her was excessively handsome.

She has delicate features, fair skin, and red lips and white teeth.

But his eyes were cold.

Zhou Mingjiao subtly stepped in front of Shen Banxia, ​​saying, "Wife, we should go back now, or we'll miss the train."

"Okay," the purpose of coming to the county town has been achieved, and saving people was purely accidental.

But feeling the presence of the little one in her belly, Shen Banxia felt that saving the person was worthwhile.

The man gave his henchman a wink, and the henchman immediately stopped the couple from leaving.

The two men's faces turned cold at the same time. Seeing that there was a misunderstanding, the follower quickly tried to make amends, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to thank you and find out where you live so we can come and thank you in person."

"It was just a small favor." These two men in front of him were clearly not to be trifled with, especially the word "director" that the henchman used. Obviously, the man was Su Yu, the famous director of the Revolutionary Committee in the county.

Even though Shen Banxia doesn't go to the county town often, Su Yu's reputation for being ruthless, heartless, greedy, and beautiful as a flower has already spread far and wide.

If she knew this person's identity, Shen Banxia might actually think about it.

Although she would have to deal with this person in the future, she wasn't in the mood right now. Firstly, she hadn't gotten any good deals, and secondly, she could sense Zhou Mingqian's dislike for Su Yu.

Although she didn't know why, she disliked what her own man disliked.

As for the plans, we'll discuss them later.

"That's not how it works. You did save our director, and we're not the kind of people who would forget kindness," the henchman said, not wanting to get entangled. After all, the director hadn't given any instructions.

In his view, why bother talking to these peasants? Shouldn't they feel honored to have saved their director?

Still making excuses here, they don't even know that if their boss just slips out a few good things, it'll be enough to make these two peasants live comfortably.

If it weren't for the fact that the director treated that woman quite well, he would have been impatient long ago.

"I don't expect anything in return for my kindness, and besides, I didn't do anything at all," Shen Banxia said, then pulled Zhou Mingqian away.

The henchman was about to stop him, but Su Yu waved his hand and stopped him.

After leaving the state-run restaurant, Shen Banxia and the other person did not discuss what had just happened on the street.

After returning home, Shen Banxia felt that "it's still more comfortable to lie down." She realized that she was becoming increasingly decadent. In her previous life, when she was alone, she always felt that she had inexhaustible energy.

Thinking of that man from earlier, she thought, "By the way, do you know this guy named Su Yu?"

A look of disgust flashed in Zhou Mingqian's eyes. "That means he's not a good person. You should stay away from him in the future."

"What did he do to offend you?" Shen Banxia asked, a little curious.

If it were simply because of their reputation, their husbands wouldn't usually say such things, since the couple's reputation in the village isn't good either.

"That person is not averse to either meat or vegetables."

Okay, Shen Banxia understands now; she really didn't see it that way.

"Zhou Mingqian, you're getting bacteria growing in the house! What did the doctor say?" Zhou's mother came home early to cook.

"You need to replenish your nutrition and get plenty of rest," Zhou Mingqian echoed the doctor's words.

"Isn't what you're saying nonsense? Everyone knows that, but whose grain comes from the wind? Alright, don't cause me any more trouble. Go and earn work points tomorrow."

Zhou's mother felt that if she hadn't given birth to him herself, he might have thought that he had been switched at birth.

The second, third, and fourth brothers are all diligent, but he, as the eldest brother, not only doesn't act like one, but also spends all his time being lazy and shirking his responsibilities.

Even when their grandparents gave them money, they bought a bunch of random things.

Zhou's mother shook her head, no longer wanting to think about this sad thing.

In the evening, before it got completely dark, the whole family sat down for dinner.

Sweet potato porridge, boiled green beans, stir-fried chili peppers with pork cracklings, and a loofah soup.

Zhou Mingqian's face turned green as he looked at it, and he couldn't help but say, "My goodness, I can't even see a speck of oil in your soup, and there aren't even any pork cracklings for each person."

"Even food can't shut you up. Eat if you want, or get out if you don't," Zhou's mother said, not one to indulge her.

"I won't go into details, but my wife is pregnant, and the doctor said we should pay attention to nutrition. One egg a day isn't too much, is it?"

"Pah! You can eat my food, but you still eat an egg every day? Do you want to fly to the moon? Get out of here! If you're not going to eat, get off the table!" Then, looking at Chen Banxia, ​​he said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, don't think you're so great just because you're pregnant."

Shen Banxia let it go in one ear and out the other, very Buddhist-like.

Over the years, she has come to understand one thing: the more you pay attention to your mother-in-law, the more she gets worked up.

“Mom, don’t pick on the weak. My wife hasn’t done anything wrong. If it weren’t for her taking pity on me, I would still be a bachelor. You should be grateful to her for that. My grandma asked you to find me a wife. You’re not capable, but I found one myself. Aren’t you going to treat her well?”

At this point, Zhou Mingqian's voice choked up. "You know what the doctor said about me back then, and what others said about me, but my wife didn't look down on me at all."
