The Zhou family.

When Zhou's mother returned home, she realized that she had originally gone to cause trouble, but ended up slinking back home.

Seeing her daughter secretly heartbroken, Zhou's mother couldn't help but feel a pang of pain. "Jiaojiao, don't be sad. Let me discuss this matter with your father and see what we can do."

Zhou Mingjiao looked miserable. "What can we do now? If he shows that letter to the villagers, I'll have no choice but to marry him."

Zhou Mingjiao has already told her mother about it.

Zhou's mother gritted her teeth, "You know, this Zhao guy is so unscrupulous, wanting to get married one minute and not the next, treating people like monkeys."

"Tell me, how could you have fallen for him back then? And even wrote that letter, leaving evidence against him. What are you going to do now? He'll report you to the Gowei Association. What are you going to do then?" Zhou's mother said anxiously.

Zhou Mingjiao, in a fit of despair, said, "Isn't this exactly what you and Dad wanted? Anyway, you both wanted me to get married soon, so now it's perfect."

"You child, what angry words are you saying again? Your father and I were just worried about you getting into trouble. Later, we were angry that you used your reputation to make things difficult. You should know how your father and I have treated you and your brothers. You didn't even come to your father and me when something happened," Zhou's mother complained. But after all, she was the girl she had loved and cherished all her life.

Zhou Mingjiao shrugged, "Fine, then I'll leave the matter to you and Dad to handle. I just don't want to marry Zhao Zhigao right now. You've both said he's not a good person, so I'll follow your advice."

Zhou's mother choked. If this weren't her own daughter, she would have already taken action.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Shaking his head, he comforted himself, "That old monk said that Jiaojiao is very lucky."

If that's the case, then Zhao Zhigao is not a good man.

Although they say they're from Haicheng, who knows what their family situation is like?

"Alright, Jiaojiao, I'll discuss this with your father tonight. You need to behave yourself lately. By the way, what were you talking about with your aunt last time?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask about work. I've been out of school for so long now, and if I just stay at home and do nothing, my wives won't be happy."

"Do they dare to be unhappy? It's not their place to be in charge of this family."

Zhou Mingjiao nodded listlessly, wondering how her aunt had found out.

At the clinic, after seeing Zhao Zhigao off, Shen Banxia looked at Zhao Di, who was carrying a basket on her back, and waved to her.

"Aunt, what brings you here?"

"This is medicine for Pandi. Remember to make sure she takes it on time," Shen Banxia hadn't forgotten.

Zhao Di lowered her head. "I... I don't have any money. Mother... Mother said it's fine once the fever goes down."

"It's free, my aunt gave it to me," Shen Banxia said. She wasn't a saint, but she always had more patience for children.

"Thank you, thank you, Auntie," Zhao Di said softly. She felt that her mother was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

My mother said that all the money in the family was given to my grandmother, and they didn't have any.

Shen Banxia patted Xiao Zhaodi's head and said, "Go back quickly, don't delay."

Watching Zhao Di run away, Shen Banxia didn't have any other thoughts. For example, since Zhao Di was the female lead in a rebirth novel, she didn't want to build a good relationship with her in advance. Anyway, she just wanted to do her part.

As for the rest, because Zhou Mingqian was away on a business trip, she would try to avoid the household chores of washing dishes and cooking whenever possible.

Anyway, Shen Banxia is a bachelor, so you can keep track of the debt yourselves. Zhou Mingqian will pay it back when he comes back.

When Zhaodi returned home, she saw her grandmother and aunt whispering to each other. She didn't dare to go up and listen, but she could vaguely hear her aunt's name.

After giving Pandi her medicine, Zhou carried a basket on his back and prepared to go out to collect firewood. He happened to run into Zhou's mother, who was on her way to her private plot.

"You brat, what are you doing back at this hour? Where's the firewood? It's so cold outside, why don't you go and gather more? All you do all day is eat for free, you're all such a worry."

Zhao Di shrank her neck, and even the cloth shoes that revealed her big toe shrank back a little.

"Seeing you like this makes me angry. You're so tough you wouldn't utter a sound even if I hit you with a stick. I don't know what your mother taught you, are you mute or something?"

"Grandma, I'm coming back to give Pandi her medicine."

"You're born a lady but have the life of a maid. It's just a cold and fever, why are you taking medicine?" After scolding her, she retorted, "Medicine? Where did you get the money? Did you steal it?"

Zhao Di was almost in tears. "No, I didn't have it. My aunt gave it to me."

"Pah, crocodile tears, she's the only one who knows how to be a good person."

Seeing Zhao Di looking timid and hesitant, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, you always have such a long face, it's bad luck to look at you. Hurry up and go gather some firewood for me."

Upon receiving confirmation, Zhao Di ran away as fast as she could; she found her grandmother utterly terrifying.

Sigh, sometimes she can't help but wonder in her little head why she's not her aunt.

They ate fine grains, wore new clothes, and had an endless amount of pocket money.

Zhou Mingjiao had no idea that her niece envied her; right now, she was trying to find a way to annoy Chen Banxia.

Yes, because of Zhao Zhigao's matter, the person she hates the most now is Shen Banxia.

Suddenly, Zhou Mingjiao thought of someone.

"Thump thump thump," Zhou Mingjiao went straight to the house behind the brigade headquarters.

"Jiaojiao, what brings you here?" Zhang Baohua asked with delight.

"Brother Baohua, could you do me a favor?"

Seeing his beloved girl on the verge of tears, Zhang Baohua patted his bony chest and said, "Tell me, whatever it is, I will definitely take care of it for you."

A flash of disdain crossed Zhou Mingjiao's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Brother Baohua, I really have no other choice. I don't want to get married. I don't want to marry Zhao Zhiqing. I was just discussing academic issues with Diao, but everyone in the village misunderstood. Now, sigh."

"What? Captain Uncle and his gang still dare to arrange marriages?"

Zhou Mingjiao waved her hand, "No, you misunderstood. It was the villagers who misunderstood, so..."

“What a mess! Those people are just gossipy. They’re all jealous of you. Don’t worry, I’ll teach that educated youth a lesson. He’s already in our village, and he still can’t behave himself.”

wooden club!

“Brother Baohua, I don’t want people to say you’re bullying others. Aren’t you really good at catching snakes? See if you can find a non-venomous one. I just want to scare him.”

As for her true purpose, how could she possibly reveal it?

"You're just too kind," Zhang Baohua thought, wishing he could kill Zhao Zhigao, that bespectacled bastard, who dared to covet his goddess.

Zhou Mingjiao smiled. If it weren't for his excellent skill in catching venomous snakes, she wouldn't have bothered to come to see this skinny, monkey-like Zhang Baohua.

Shen Banxia, ​​don't blame me when the time comes.
