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, ...
Aunt Zhu comforted Chen Banxia, "Banxia, why don't you just come and stay at my house? It's not convenient for you to go to the clinic alone, especially since you're pregnant."
"Aunt Zhu, thank you for your kindness, but there's a room over there that's also reserved for resting, so I'll move in there." These days, housing isn't spacious, so how could she bother Aunt Zhu's family?
"You know, I don't know what kind of trouble Mingqian will cause when he comes back. They are bullying people too much. I never realized Wang Cuihua was so muddle-headed."
Shen Banxia didn't want to say more.
The Zhou family could only watch as Aunt Zhu and the others helped move their belongings away.
Although Zhou Laosi didn't like his sister-in-law being too selfish and not sharing any good things with the family, he couldn't help but say, thinking of his elder brother, "Mother, why don't we call my sister-in-law back? Otherwise, it might be difficult to explain if my brother comes back."
Zhou's mother raised her eyebrows and said, "Hmph, why bother calling someone as heartless as her back? As for your older brother, I'm too lazy to even talk to him. If he doesn't listen to me, then he can leave with me too."
"Huh? Does that mean we're going to give it to my older brother and the others?"
These words struck a nerve with Zhou's mother. "What division of the family? I'm telling you, it's impossible, unless I'm dead."
Separation is impossible; if the eldest doesn't listen, he/she can pack his bags and leave.
She refused to believe that she couldn't control the eldest son and his wife.
Zhou Laosi shrank back, not daring to provoke his angry mother.
Meanwhile, at the clinic, Aunt Zhu, a kind-hearted woman, said, "Banxia, sit down and let me help you tidy up."
"Aunt Zhu, we really owe you a lot today. My husband and I will thank you properly when Zhou Mingqian comes back." It wasn't that Shen Banxia was being sentimental; her pregnancy had indeed taken its toll on her energy.
Lately, she has been feeling hungry all the time, and no matter how much she eats, she still feels unsatisfied.
Shen Banxia knew that the food intake was still not up to par.
But given the current situation, Shen Banxia can't go too far, so she can only sneak in some snacks at night, like peanuts and melon seeds.
After seeing Aunt Zhu and the others off, Shen Banxia lay back on the bed.
Hmm, we should get some newspapers to paste on the walls, otherwise the mud will keep falling off. As for the rammed earth floor, Chen Banxia thinks it would be better to replace it with some blue bricks.
The roof was still thatched. Thinking about the weather later on, Chen Banxia felt that there were a lot of things to worry about.
There was no firewood, no pots or pans for cooking. Although Chen Banxia didn't regret moving out, she was still a little restless because she had to start all over again.
Just as she was thinking about preparing the meal, a large basket on her back called out, "Banxia, come here quickly. This is noodles that I asked Gou Dan's mother to make especially for you. Eat it quickly, don't let it clump together."
"Aunt Zhu, you, you..." Shen Banxia really didn't expect that this was still the stingy Aunt Zhu.
"Don't say no. What kind of relationship do our two families have? Eat up. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the baby in your belly."
"Thank you," Shen Banxia said, feeling that language was sometimes so inadequate that she didn't know what else to say.
While we were eating, they even added two poached eggs. "Aunt Zhu, you're going to spend too much money."
"What are you talking about? Don't mention the expense. You saved my life. If it weren't for you, I would still be here. What's wrong with eating some noodles and eggs? Oh, and I left two bundles of firewood for you and Da Gou outside. Also, this is the earthenware pot I use for boiling water. You can make do with it for now." As she spoke, she took out some vegetables and salt.
Before Shen Banxia could refuse, he shouted outside in a flurry, "Big Dog and Second Dog, hurry up and get that earthen stove set up!"
A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and Chen Banxia's restless heart was instantly calmed.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhu. I don't know what I would have done without you," Shen Banxia said sincerely.
If you ask her to treat illnesses and save lives, she'll do it without hesitation, but when it comes to these tedious household chores, she's a complete mess.
"We're all family, let's not talk like that," Aunt Zhu waved her hand. If she wasn't worried that Shen Banxia would look down on her, she would have loved to adopt her as her daughter.
As darkness slowly fell, Aunt Zhu said, "Banxia, why don't I stay here with you tonight?" She was really worried.
Shen Banxia couldn't trouble others like that; she had already helped so much.
"No need, Aunt Zhu, I can manage."
After seeing Aunt Zhu and the others off, Shen Banxia realized that, putting everything else aside, the next meal would be a big problem, as she couldn't cook.
Looking at the dusty earthenware pot, Shen Banxia thought it best to cook some porridge first.
Aunt Zhu is truly meticulous; she not only prepared the dishes but also the rice, which looks like at least five pounds.
I'm really indebted to this person.
Meanwhile, Aunt Zhu looked at the malted milk powder in the basket on her back and sighed, "Oh dear, Banxia, why did she put this good stuff in here?"
Dog Egg stared longingly at her, his eyes fixed on her, and Aunt Zhu's heart softened instantly.
Never mind, I'll just send Banxia some rice next time.
As for Shen Banxia, she thought she should still go to the county town tomorrow.
The iron pot is a big deal. Although I don't know how to cook, I still need to eat when Zhou Mingqian comes back. Who should I go to exchange some industrial vouchers for?
Most of the family's money was taken out of the family by Zhou Mingqian.
One moment they were thinking about going to the county town to buy some peach shortbread, the next they were thinking about preparing food, and also about getting the food from the Zhou family for their work points.
Perhaps it was because she was in a different place, but Chen Banxia tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Feeling the flashlight under her pillow, Shen Banxia prepared to get up and write things down, otherwise there would be no order to it.
The flashlight was turned on, and Shen Banxia froze.
Damn it, I can't move! That writhing, black and red stuff slowly crawling towards me... ahhhhhh...
Shen Banxia screamed inwardly, thinking that her voice was so loud that it would surely wake up the people nearby.
But she had no idea that, in her extreme fear, she had lost her voice.
Not a single sound was made.
Her heart was racing. Shen Banxia tried to move her hands and feet, but they wouldn't obey her commands. It was as if all the blood in her body had frozen.
My mind raced. What was going on? How could there be a snake?
Ahhhhhh, I'm going crazy, God help me, this isn't scientific, this isn't normal, let's get out of here!
But the snake was still flicking its tongue, slowly moving towards Shen Banxia little by little.
Shen Banxia's whole body stiffened, and her pupils dilated.
Damn it, what's going on? She's not afraid of anything, except this soft, boneless thing.
Ahhhhh, don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! Help! Is anyone there?
Shen Banxia frantically cried for help, but there was no sound at all. She realized that the voices were getting closer and closer, and Shen Banxia closed her eyes in despair.
Heaven is going to destroy me!!!
