Shen Banzhong transmigrated into a novel. Her ignorant dutiful father and weak mother, plus three little gold flowers... Her eldest sister married an abusive man, second sister married an old man, ...
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you've worked hard. Here, this is steamed egg that your mother specially made for you, and I even added sesame oil," Zhou's mother said with a smile that made her face full of wrinkles.
Huh? I took it. Hmm, it's fragrant and smooth, tastes good. Anyway, I've been wasting one every day for the past few days.
“Eldest daughter-in-law, look how successful you are now. As the eldest sister-in-law, you should help out your family members, don’t you think?”
Shen Banxia wiped her mouth. "I'm still a barefoot doctor in the village myself. Who can I help? Grandma, you think too highly of me."
Zhou's mother's face darkened.
“Eldest daughter-in-law, are you still trying to hide this from us? I heard from the old man that the hospital director is willing to give you a permanent position and a house. If you don’t want it, you can give it to your younger sister. She just graduated from high school, and if you teach her properly, she will definitely pick it up very quickly,” Zhou’s mother revealed her plan.
“Mother-in-law, you said it yourself, they were giving it to me, and I already refused.”
Zhou's mother looked at him with exasperation, thinking he was a complete idiot, but since she needed his help, she suppressed her anger and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, they've taken a liking to you. If you just talk to them nicely, it should be possible."
"Really? I didn't know I had such a great personal charm. But even so, what makes you think you have that kind of charisma?"
Shen Banxia wouldn't tolerate it.
“You, you are my Zhou family’s daughter-in-law, how can you be so selfish? Don’t you know that in a family, only when everyone is doing well can you be better off?” These words were taught to Zhou Mingjiao by Zhou’s mother.
"I'm sorry, I think you probably don't know me very well. I would never go back to someone I've already refused. I can't just throw away my dignity."
“You, you, I’m your mother-in-law,” Zhou’s mother said, her hands trembling.
She had never seen a daughter-in-law like this before. Don't all daughters-in-law try to please their mothers-in-law and watch their expressions?
But that bitch Shen Banxia didn't care at all about saying she was going to divorce her.
After thinking it over, she felt it was all the fault of that good-for-nothing eldest son. He was so useless, like he had never seen a woman before. He listened to his wife in everything and had no backbone at all.
"I didn't say anything else, but anyway, I'm not going back."
"You, fine, fine, if you're so capable, then get out of the Zhou family!" Zhou's mother was furious; she simply couldn't take it anymore.
Shen Banxia turned around and went straight to the next room. "Aunt Zhu, can you help me move some things?"
Aunt Zhu agreed without hesitation and even called her two dogs, Da Gouzi and Er Gouzi.
When Zhou's mother saw Shen Banxia enter, a smug look appeared on her face. However, her expression quickly darkened when she saw Aunt Zhu and her two sons who followed her in.
"Shen Banxia, what do you mean by this? Do you think I won't kick you out just because you called a stranger over?"
She was very concerned about her reputation, but Shen Banxia actually exposed her family's affairs, which she couldn't tolerate.
Shen Banxia was too lazy to waste her breath on her. "Aunt Zhu, could you please help me move my things from my room to the clinic?" Anyway, there was a room available for someone to stay in there.
As for those fools who dare to mess with me, they'll get a taste of my fists.
Because her grandparents' situation was about to be resolved, she decided to stop hiding herself.
"How dare you, Shen Banxia? Those are Zhou family property. What right do you have to take them away?" Zhou's mother felt that Shen Banxia was simply trampling on her dignity as her mother-in-law.
If we don't deal with her properly today, she'll probably cause a huge mess later.
"I really didn't know that my own dowry had become part of your Zhou family's property?"
Despite her father's wickedness, Shen Banxia's grandparents doted on her to the core.
The elderly couple dedicated their lives to practicing medicine and saving lives, never speaking to anyone except for preparing tickets and money for Shen Banxia's three turns and one radio when she went to the countryside.
Shen Banxia didn't buy everything in such a high-profile way. She bought a watch and a radio. As for a bicycle, the Zhou family already had one. She didn't know how to use a sewing machine herself, and she wouldn't do something like making clothes for someone else.
She mostly swapped out blankets; no matter how nice the exterior looks, it's not as good as the interior.
Even so, many people in Zhoujiazhuang regretted not discovering such a golden egg-like girl for so long.
At first, they laughed at Zhou Mingqian for marrying a useless educated youth, but what happened?
They were the ones who got slapped in the face; people from the city are just different.
Seeing that Shen Banxia had brought out the radio, quilt, and box, Zhou's mother became anxious. She clearly just wanted to scare her, so why wasn't she doing it the way she wanted?
She could have just talked about work properly, but now she's pulled this stunt. How are we going to handle this?
If the eldest brother comes back and finds that his wife is gone, who knows what kind of commotion he'll cause?
Zhou's mother regretted it, but she just couldn't bring herself to apologize to Shen Banxia.
Fortunately, Mr. Zhou returned. Seeing this, he angrily asked, "What are you all doing now? Why have you brought all your things out?"
Shen Banxia was not afraid of Zhou's father. "My mother-in-law wants me to find a job for Zhou Mingjiao, but I feel that I don't have the ability. So my mother-in-law told me to get out of the Zhou family. I, Shen Banxia, am not the kind of shameless person. Since that's the case, I will move to the health clinic from today."
Seeing Zhou's father's face darken, Shen Banxia continued, "Of course, if the brigade leader doesn't agree to me living in the clinic, I'll just move back to my original educated youth settlement. I think no one will object then."
Mr. Zhou rubbed his throbbing temples. “Eldest daughter-in-law, don’t be stubborn. Your mother is confused. You are a member of the Zhou family. This is your home. You don’t need to move out.”
Shen Banxia wasn't the kind of person who could be summoned and dismissed at will. Besides, she also noticed that there was no thunder or lightning outside.
In that case, why not take this opportunity to leave the Zhou family, this vortex?
She was really too lazy to deal with this family. She could tell from the last time that they were all distracted by work, and she was afraid that this time things wouldn't end well.
Normally, Shen Banxia wouldn't care about dealing with them; she was just killing time anyway.
But not now. My body will become heavier and heavier every day. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.
A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Shen Banxia did not want to gamble with the Zhou family's intentions by using her child.
Seeing that Shen Banxia was unyielding, Zhou's father's expression darkened even further.
For the first time, he realized his wife was right; his eldest daughter-in-law was no pushover.
