Shen Banxia had no idea about Zhou Lao Er and his wife's affair. She was not the kind of woman who would passively wait for others to make a move.

After Zhou Mingqian returned, she directly told him about Zhao Di's visit, "Even if Zhao Di doesn't think so, I also think that matchmaker Wang is strange. Besides, didn't you investigate? The Li family is inherently sexist, and this plan to marry their daughter to your fourth brother seems very suspicious. What's more, what if Li Xiuzhen is threatening to kill herself?"

“You’re right. I’ve spoken with the neighbors, and they originally planned for Li Xiuzhen to marry the factory manager.”

"What? That explains why she married your fourth brother. However, this means that Li Xiuzhu and her parents have fallen out. In that case, why would they give her their job and money? If it was Wang the matchmaker's doing, does Li Xiuzhu know something she shouldn't know?"

Thinking back to her past life, she also enjoyed watching melodramatic TV shows in her spare time.

"Hmm, it seems that Wang the matchmaker is indeed acting strangely. I think this kind of thing should be handled by professionals. Isn't Su Yu good at this kind of thing? I'll write a letter to him later."

"Let me do it."

"good".

Shen Banxia thought of Zhou Mingjiao. She had escaped from the poisonous snake that time, but hadn't she been beaten up yet? In that case, she might as well use her notebook. It would be a good deed anyway.

That way, there won't be a situation where I can't write anything anymore.

After the couple discussed the matter, they went to sleep peacefully.

The next morning, Zhou Mingqian took the letter and got up before dawn.

Shen Banxia didn't get up until dawn. Looking at the soup and porridge simmering on the coal stove, as well as the boiled eggs, she looked at her already showing belly and said, "Baby, your dad is so good, isn't he?"

The little bean in my belly: ...

After getting up, Zhao Di told her parents directly that she wouldn't tell anyone.

At that moment, Zhou Lao Er slapped Zhao Di across the face, while Li Er Ya stood by without watching.

Hearing the commotion, Zhou's mother came out. After hearing what her second son and his wife had to say, her anger flared up. "Well, you traitor! You're eating my Zhou family's rice bowl, yet you're still eyeing your aunt. Do you want to get out like her? Huh?"

Li Erya became anxious, "Mother-in-law, Zhaodi didn't mean it that way, she just hasn't figured it out yet."

"How dare you say that? You worthless wretches who can't even lay an egg! It's all your fault that your second son is childless. I finally found an opportunity for you to go and see the world, but all you do is drag me down."

Li Erya was unaware of this matter. She had actually wanted to see a doctor a long time ago, but since the family had not yet separated and she had no money, she was still in debt.

She didn't dare ask her mother-in-law for money at all.

She felt that her mother-in-law was right; she was a sinner in the Zhou family. She was incompetent and couldn't give her second brother a son, so she wouldn't even have a son to break the pot in the future.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pat Zhao Di, "Don't argue with me, can't you just talk to her nicely? Do you think our family would harm you?"

"I don't".

Zhou's mother immediately picked up a bamboo stick and said, "I'll teach you to say no, I'll teach you to not talk, I'll beat you to death."

In her fury, Zhou's mother showed no mercy whatsoever.

Zhou Zhaodi ran away, but Zhou Lao Er caught her. "You're still running?"

Zhou Zhaodi was in despair. Looking at Li Erya, she cried out, "Mother, it hurts so much, it really hurts so much, please save me."

The bamboo sticks would strike my body, leaving red welts with each strike, each one cutting deep into my flesh.

Seeing this, Pandi quietly ran away.

Village clinic.

"Aunt, Aunt, please, please go and save my sister! She's going to be beaten to death!" Pandi ran breathlessly.

"Don't cry, what happened, Pandi?"

Pandi pressured her older sister, who refused to speak up and was subsequently beaten. She is still being beaten and is afraid of being beaten to death, so she came to ask for help.

Shen Banxia really didn't expect that the Zhou family would be so shameless.

Following Pandi to the Zhou family, Zhou's mother was still whipping her with bamboo sticks, while Zhou Lao Er was holding Zhaodi.

Why didn't anyone cry or shout?

Shen Banxia sensed something was wrong and snatched the bamboo strip from Zhou's mother's hand.

"Which one of you is going to die? I'll beat you to death, I—".

Before she could finish speaking, she was startled by Chen Banxia's sharp gaze and couldn't help but swallow hard. "You, I'm your mother-in-law. If you, if you dare to hit me, you, you, you..."

Shen Banxia ignored her, pushed Zhou Lao Er away, and pulled aside Zhao Di's hair. Zhao Di had already fainted.

She didn't dare delay and pried open her mouth, but she couldn't swallow.

"Pandi, bring me a bowl of warm water."

Zhou Lao Er then realized that Zhao Di had actually fainted. No wonder she hadn't cried earlier, and why was her face so pale, just like a dead person he had seen before.

Looking at his sister-in-law's serious expression, Zhou Lao Er's hands trembled uncontrollably. "Sister-in-law, is my Zhao Di alright?"

"roll".

Just then, Pandi's voice came, "The water's here, Auntie."

Shen Banxia held Zhao Di in one arm and put the pills into the bowl with the other. She then pried open Zhao Di's mouth and said, "Pandi, you feed Zhao Di."

Just as she was about to vomit, Shen Banxia lifted her chin at the right moment and finally swallowed it.

Zhou's mother couldn't help but step back, "This, this, this brat is definitely faking it."

Shen Banxia’s cold voice rang out, “You all better pray that Zhao Di doesn’t get a high fever tonight, otherwise, every single one of you will be sent to jail.”

Zhou's mother's face turned pale instantly.

Zhou Lao Er lowered his head, looked at his hands, and slapped himself twice on the face.

Li Erya's face was covered in tears. "Zhaodi, wake up! I won't force you anymore. I was wrong. I should have stopped you. Waaah, how could this happen?"

Shen Banxia didn't even glance at her. It's said that mothers are strong, but Li Erya was able to remain unmoved while watching her mother-in-law beat her daughter.

After Zhao Di swallowed the life-saving pill, she carried the person on her back and called to Pan Di, "Pan Di, support your older sister from behind."

"Okay," came the timid voice, startling the little girl.

Zhou's mother panicked, "Where are you going to take her?"

"If you want her to die, then stop her."

Zhou's mother immediately dared not stop her.

Zhou Lao Er wanted to recite it, but was told to "get lost."

Shen Banxia had never seen a father like him before; he was simply unworthy of being human.

Upon arriving at the clinic, Shen Banxia led the people to the treatment room. "You all wait outside. Pandi, keep an eye on them and don't let them come in and disturb me."

“Yes, I know Auntie,” Pandi’s voice was full of determination.

Shen Banxia dared not be careless at this moment. She wasn't lying; if she couldn't make it through the night, she was afraid...

They waited and waited, but Wang the matchmaker never arrived.
