Shen Banxia looked at the mother and daughter who had come over, and after listening to what they had to say, she simply replied, "I'm busy."

Zhou's mother immediately turned hostile, cursing, "You unlucky bastard, I kindly invited you back for dinner, and you're too busy?"

“I don’t want to go to your place and almost lose my life every time. If I hadn’t been lucky last time, who would take responsibility for the loss of both my baby and myself?” Shen Banxia was never one to compromise her principles.

Moreover, everyone has already broken off relations; they're just maintaining a facade of civility.

Besides, what good could Zhou's mother possibly have? It's impossible. Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious!

A hint of guilt flashed across Zhou's mother's face, but she quickly retorted confidently, "It wasn't me who pushed you. Wasn't that that damned Xiuzhu? She's already locked up, and I heard she's going to be sent to a farm for 're-education' later. Doesn't that appease your anger?"

Shen Banxia laughed in anger, "Old lady, you really know how to talk. You think I'll calm down? Tell me, why don't you let that Li Xiuzhu push you and see?"

"Ahhh, you heartless bastard, you're cursing me?" Zhou's mother was old and couldn't stand such words.

"Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you."

This was what annoyed Zhou's mother the most. Otherwise, if her niece-in-law from her maternal family came to see Chen Banxia, ​​she wouldn't bother calling her for dinner.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. When your man comes back, tell him not to forget who raised him," she said, and then pulled Zhou Mingjiao away.

On the road.

"Mom, why are you walking so fast? I haven't even talked to my sister-in-law yet!"

Zhou's mother was really afraid of her eldest daughter-in-law's mouth, and besides, she couldn't understand any of her talk about giving alms or not.

Unlike the second and third daughters-in-law, this daughter-in-law was not afraid of being sent back to her parents' home.

He's a complete scoundrel. In the end, it's all Zhou Mingqian's fault for being incompetent; he can't even control his wife.

"Why are you looking for her?" Zhou's mother asked curiously.

Zhou Mingjiao was at her wit's end. She secretly tried to get information out of Liu Zhe, but he was a capable man, and she didn't think she could fool someone like that.

She was unwilling to give up the benefits that were within her grasp.

Isn't this just setting their sights on Shen Banxia?

Everyone says Shen Banxia is a good doctor, so she thought she could ask her for some pills and then say that her friend was her sister-in-law.

Whether it will be useful or not is another matter; it's none of her business anyway.

“Mom, don’t you know? Liu, the educated youth, often brings us things. Now, he’s planning to give me a job. Then his father found out, and it brought up the time I saved him, and how I lied to him before,” Zhou Mingjiao explained simply.

Zhou's mother was happy that her daughter would have a job, but when she heard what was said next, her smile turned into a comical expression.

A smile that wasn't quite a smile, a cry that wasn't quite a cry.

"How could this be? I thought it was Liu Zhiqing who wanted to marry you. Why didn't you say so before?" Zhou's mother really didn't know what to say.

“I don’t know either. At first, I thought he liked me too, didn’t I? Mother, you know, there are so many men in the village who like me, how was I supposed to know he was blind? Later, when he talked about saving someone, I thought, didn’t I give him water to drink? That’s pretty much the same as saving someone,” Zhou Mingjiao said confidently.

"Who knew there was some kind of medicine inside? Mother, where am I supposed to find the medicine?" Zhou Mingjiao was almost in tears.

Why can't you just take a good look at yourself? If there were no water, wouldn't you die of thirst too? Why do you have to be so fussy?

Even Zhou's mother didn't dare to agree with these words against her conscience.

However, Zhou's mother never felt that she was wrong about her youngest daughter's matter. "In that case, we'll say that your friend is your sister-in-law. As for the pills, let your father ask for them. No matter what, we are still her parents-in-law. If we don't give them to her, we'll be unfilial, and she'll be drowned in spit."

Zhou Mingjiao was still a little uneasy. "But I don't think my sister-in-law is the kind of person who cares about what others say. Besides, the villagers are all opportunists. Now that my sister-in-law has medical skills, everyone is trying to curry favor with her."

“Don’t be afraid, your father is in charge of assigning tasks, so they won’t dare to offend him,” Zhou’s mother was proud of this.

"But wouldn't that mean my sister-in-law would take the blame? If she doesn't cooperate and it gets out, Liu Zhe's father will definitely not let me off the hook."

"Don't be afraid. Even if they find out, your dad is still the brigade leader. They won't dare to offend him."

Zhou Mingjiao was dumbfounded. When did her mother become so "naive"?

“Mom, that’s not true at all. I’ve heard about it. Liu Zhe’s father is very capable. It seems that even the county’s big boss has to listen to him.”

"What?!" Zhou's mother exclaimed anxiously. "How could this happen? Good heavens, the most powerful man in the county, isn't that equivalent to the county magistrate of the past?"

Even more powerful than the county magistrate! Good heavens, what kind of important person is he?

What should we do? What should we do? How did Jiaojiao manage to offend such a powerful person?

If it weren't for her most beloved little daughter, she would have given her a good beating. How could she have caused such a big mess?

"No, no, this blame really has to be placed on your sister-in-law, otherwise our whole family will never have a good life."

Zhou Mingjiao had the same plan, "but the key issue now is that my sister-in-law simply won't listen to us."

"I think you should let your older brother talk to him about this. Doesn't your sister-in-law listen to him?"

Zhou Mingjiao was almost in tears. "My older brother doesn't like it either. He will never speak up for me." Now she had the idea of ​​making Shen Banxia take the blame, but it was difficult to carry it out.

"He will talk to you. As long as he doesn't want anything to happen, don't worry. Let your dad talk to him."

"Okay," Zhou Mingjiao said, her tears turning into a smile. "Mom, you're still the best."

When Zhou's father found out about this, he immediately scolded Zhou's mother, "You, you're really going to drive me crazy! Mingjiao is young and doesn't understand things, but you're so old and still don't understand anything!"

Zhou's mother was completely bewildered by the scolding. "Old man, you... I didn't say anything wrong."

"You still have the nerve to say that? Yes, it's fine to make Shen Banxia take the blame, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you offended Zhou Mingqian...?"

"We can tell him about that, and if he doesn't want anything to happen, he'll definitely listen to us," Zhou's mother thought.

"What if he gets angry and tries to drag us all down with him? What will we do then?" Zhou's father dared not gamble.

"No way? He can't be that crazy, can he? Won't he die in the end?" Zhou's mother still couldn't believe it.

However, Zhou's father dared not be careless.
