"Bang!"
Upon hearing Miao Xiaohua's words, Zhou Shuixian was momentarily dazed, and the bamboo basket she was carrying on her shoulder fell to the ground.
"Sister Narcissus, are you alright?"
Seeing Zhou Shuixian squatting on the ground picking up packets of medicinal herbs into a bamboo basket, Miao Xiaohua rushed forward and asked:
"Sister Narcissus, don't be afraid. Everyone in our workshop knows what kind of people your ex-husband's family is. Don't worry, we're all on your side!"
Ignoring the medicinal herbs on the ground, Miao Xiaohua squatted down beside Zhou Shuixian and anxiously asked her questions.
Colleagues who heard the commotion came over and helped pick up the herbs on the ground, all saying they would help Zhou Shuixian.
Hearing what everyone said, Zhou Shuixian, who had been frightened by the Wang family, finally came to her senses. With red eyes, she nodded and got up to walk outside.
She really tried very hard to suppress her fear of the Wang family.
However, life in the Wang family was like a torment in purgatory, deeply imprinted on Zhou Shuixian's soul.
It's still quite startling to hear that at first.
In particular, right now, he doesn't have parents or a younger brother to support him.
Fortunately, she listened to Ruan Miaomiao's advice and, after starting work at the factory, subtly began to tell her colleagues about her and the Wang family's affairs.
At that time, Ruan Miaomiao reminded her that the Wang family would definitely not be able to find another daughter-in-law in a short period of time. After comparing with other women, they would find that the women outside were not as good as Zhou Shuixian, and they would definitely come back and keep bothering her.
Rather than waiting for the Wang family to ruin her reputation and use it to blackmail her, she should tell the truth herself and gain the sympathy of her colleagues.
At the very least, when people see two people having a conflict, they will always tend to side with the person they know well.
Now, most of Zhou Shuixian's colleagues in the factory support her.
Moreover, thinking about the hard life Zhou Shuixian had endured in the Wang family, they all wanted to stand up for her.
At least at this moment, Zhou Shuixian is an employee of the Provincial Chinese Medicine Factory. If outsiders come to her territory to bully her employees, wouldn't it make other factories laugh at them?
"Oh dear, now that your daughter-in-law is successful, she's abandoning her husband and children! She doesn't want her husband anymore, and she doesn't want her son either!"
When Zhou Shuixian arrived, Li Chunmiao was shouting at the factory gate, making such a commotion that it attracted a lot of onlookers.
The moment Li Chunmiao saw Zhou Shuixian after the factory gate opened, she secretly pinched her precious grandson, Wang Dabao.
As Wang Dabao burst into tears, Li Chunmiao also started wailing:
"Narcissus, how cruel you are! Da Niu only said a few harsh words, and you abandoned your man and child to run away to the provincial capital."
Forget about Da Niu. Even though he's your man, an adult can still cook for himself.
But Da Bao is still so young. You left before he was even out of confinement. If your sister-in-law hadn't had enough milk, he would have starved to death.
"Narcissus, Da Bao is your own flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy! How could you be so heartless!"
When Li Chunmiao said this, Wang Dabao was being choked and cried loudly, while Wang Daniu stood there with his neck hunched and his eyes red, looking like a simple and honest man.
To outsiders, this appearance resembled that of an honest and simple farming family encountering a shrewish wife.
In particular, Zhou Shuixian has grown up to be fair and delicate, and her demeanor is quite different from when she was in the Wang family. People subconsciously sympathize with the weak and unconsciously lean towards Li Chunmiao's family, criticizing Zhou Shuixian instead.
"Oh my, you woman, you're supposed to be an employee of a Chinese medicine factory, how could you abandon your husband and children like that? How heartless of you!"
"That's right! Look at this chubby, adorable child. How heartless must a mother be to not want her child?"
"Comrade Narcissus, you can't look down on men from the countryside just because you have a job. Chairman Mao said that one should never forget one's roots. Your husband and your son are your roots."
"You're abandoning your husband and children like this; your moral character is seriously flawed. Doesn't your factory do any screening when hiring?"
"No way! How can such a vicious woman work in a traditional Chinese medicine factory? I'm going to report her, I'm going to report her by my real name..."
...
Old Wang was overjoyed to hear the onlookers speaking up for him.
However, when they heard that Zhou Shuixian was going to be reported, they immediately became nervous: they only wanted to control Zhou Shuixian, not to take away her job.
Li Chunmiao immediately put on a pitiful look and looked at the person who had just spoken up for her, thanking them repeatedly, her withered lips opening and closing as she tried to explain:
"I'm an old woman, I'm practically buried up to my neck, all I want is to see my children living peacefully and harmoniously."
But, Narcissus, the thought of you and Da Niu fighting like this makes my heart ache. I wouldn't be at peace even if I died.
Listen to your mother, live a good life with Da Niu and Da Bao, and let the family be together, okay?
I promise, Da Niu will never speak harshly to you again!
Mom, please…
Wang Daniu echoed Li Chunmiao's words, choking back tears as he spoke to Zhou Shuixian:
"Wife, I was wrong. I promise I'll take good care of you and Da Bao from now on!"
Those nearby, seeing this, urged him on even more enthusiastically:
"Oh, sister, just say yes! What couple doesn't argue?"
Isn't it true that arguments in bed are resolved before they even get out of bed?
Besides, your man didn't do anything terribly wrong; he just said a few harsh words. You have a son; for the sake of the child, you shouldn't make a scene!
"Yes, sister, look, your mother-in-law and husband have both admitted their mistakes. They value you so much. You should know when to stop and live a good life with them."
