Wang Yanmei held her daughter's hand tightly.

"Don't lie to me!" Wang Yanmei was trembling all over. "Qingzhi, if it really doesn't work out, we'll refund all the money for the subsequent orders after we ship out the bayberries we ordered this time. We won't sell bayberries or vegetables anymore. Don't hide it from me. I've heard from your third aunt. If you don't handle this matter well, you might end up in jail."

"Mom doesn't ask for anything else, as long as you and Zijun are safe and healthy. There is still some money left from selling bayberries, and we are also keeping the money you transferred to me and your father before. I have discussed it with your father, and you can use this money to find a good husband in the future."

"If something really happens, I will go and confess. Your father is still strong and capable, and he can earn money to support your brother's education. You are still young, and I am the only one in our family..."

Wang Yanmei had not received much education and could not understand many words. She was almost scared to death just by hearing what her third aunt said about going to jail. She clicked on the Weibo post sent by her third aunt and took a look.

The comments were full of insults, and some even said that food safety was compromised and the death penalty would be necessary.

Wang Yanmei felt a chill in her heart when she saw this.

I never thought that selling vegetables a little too expensive would cause such a big problem.

"Mom, no." Xu Qingzhi interrupted her mother's wild thoughts.

Her hand was tightly held by her mother. She could feel that her mother's hand was cold and trembling. Her mother was really scared.

Xu Qingzhi listened to her mother as if entrusting her with her last words, and her heart choked for a moment, "Mom, there's nothing wrong with the crops I planted. Don't worry, it'll be fine."

"Are you really okay?" Wang Yanmei still didn't believe it.

"Yeah." Xu Qingzhi nodded.

Wen Shanshan beside her also quickly said, "Auntie, it's not that serious, don't worry. Besides, that person is spreading rumors, even if something happens, it should be that person who gets into trouble."

Wang Yanmei now believed it halfway.

On the way back, she had thought of all the worst-case scenarios and her back was still sweating.

Of course she knew there was nothing wrong with her own food, but she felt that the vegetables and bayberries were so expensive. Even though they tasted good, she still felt uneasy and worried that something serious might happen.

Wang Yanmei finally said with concern: "Qingzhi, if anything happens because of selling vegetables and bayberries, you must not hide it from mom."

"Okay, Mom." Xu Qingzhi replied.

Wang Yanmei remembered something. "Oh, right, I called a few people to have a drink today so that we could pick the fruits faster. The new daughter-in-law of the frog seller heard me and asked if I could come and help. I saw that she looked like someone who could do it flexibly, so I asked her to come as well. When you were a kid and didn't know how to read, you played rubber rope skipping with her."

Xu Qingzhi had no objection to this: "Mom, you can make the decision on these matters."

Wen Shanshan was very excited. She heard about her new daughter-in-law being abused yesterday and was so angry that her head hurt.

Usually when I see this kind of help post on the Internet, she is a professional forklift chasing people in the comment section! Now, knowing that the other party has just come, she can no longer bear it. If the other party does not divorce, she will use the forklift to fork away her heart.

The aunts who were picking bayberries just came out of the house, wearing gloves and using tools to pick bayberries.

Wen Shanshan spotted the youngest one among them. There was a dark blue bruise under the left corner of the woman's eye, which was particularly obvious.

"Auntie, I'll go and play with you guys." Wen Shanshan took the initiative.

Wang Yanmei smiled kindly like an elder. She probably guessed what she was thinking and did not stop her. "Okay, Shanshan, then you should be careful."

"Qingzhi, I'll go then." Wen Shanshan subconsciously turned around and told Xu Qingzhi.

It’s like when a child wants to go out and play with friends, he always has to tell his parents before leaving.

Xu Qingzhi waved his hand: "You go."

"Ah?" The woman was stunned, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

"My name is Wen Shanshan, what's your name?" Wen Shanshan introduced herself generously.

Although the woman felt a little confused, facing such a generous girl who seemed to have no ill intentions, she replied: "My name is Xia Liannan, Xia for summer, Lian for lotus, and Nan for pumpkin."

"Then I'll call you Lian Nan, and you can call me Shan Shan."

Xu Qingzhi was lying on the recliner, listening to this conversation, he couldn't help but admire that Wen Shanshan really had some social gene in her.

Xia Liannan smiled politely, still a little overwhelmed, and replied, "Okay."

The two of them went to the mountain to pick bayberries together.

Wen Shanshan is a talkative person. During the two hours of picking bayberries, she never stopped talking, and Xia Liannan would also chat with her.

Although they were chatting, Xia Liannan was very serious about picking bayberries. Because she was young, she moved quickly, had good stamina, and had good eyesight. She picked a lot of bayberries, and most of them were good.

Wen Shanshan had understood the man's personality until they finished picking and went down the mountain. Seeing that the time was right, she whispered, "Do you want a divorce?"

"Ah?" Xia Liannan was stunned. Was the question so direct? "Don't you want a divorce?" Wen Shanshan looked at her expectantly.

Xia Liannan looked around. The aunties who were picking bayberries were walking in front, and there were only the two of them behind. She had a hunch that the girl in front of her was different from the other villagers. At least she would not spread rumors to harm her.

She carefully expressed her inner thoughts, "I want a divorce, but I have to earn enough money for the bride price and return the money to their family before they will let me go."

Wen Shanshan clenched her fists. "I can tell from chatting with you that you are a very independent girl with your own ideas. So, I'll pay you and you can pay me back slowly later. Let's get a divorce first."

It was only a few hundred thousand dollars, and she still had some change in her piggy bank.

Xia Liannan was frightened and waved her hands quickly: "No, no, no, no."

"What's wrong?" Wen Shanshan frowned.

"No, thank you. I have my own ideas."

Wen Shanshan didn't say anything more. "Okay, if you encounter any problems in the future, you can tell me. I might be able to help you. After all... Girls help girls!"

Xia Liannan smiled knowingly. If she had met such a kind-hearted girl a few days ago, she might have agreed immediately and would have been willing to work like a slave for her as long as she could escape from that family of domestic violence.

But since last night...

She didn't know what happened. When the man came back drunk from his friends' house and wanted to attack her again, she actually pushed him away and her strength suddenly increased a lot.

When the fist came towards her, she reached out and grabbed it, leaving a purple finger mark on the opponent's arm, making him scream in pain.

She got up in the morning to cook porridge for breakfast, but accidentally burned it.

The man wanted to hit her again, and she subconsciously kicked him, knocking him several meters away.

The man felt like she was possessed by a ghost and now he dared not touch her.
