Seeing Ding Rumei's indignant expression, Zhou Dawei nodded. He hadn't expected this stupid woman to be so easy to fool.
The key point is that he's quite good-looking.
He started making plans in his mind.
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at like that, Ding Rumei kept a distance from him.
"Since that's the case, I can't very well not help you. I'll go in and call someone for you. You wait here for a bit, and once she arrives, the two of you can leave together."
First, call out Song Zhaodi. We can settle any grudges between the two of them later. It would be best if those two disgusting things got out of here together.
At that time, Song Zhaodi was teaching Shuying how to plant green beans in the courtyard.
Looking at the crooked seedlings that Shu Ying had planted, Song Zhaodi couldn't help but chuckle.
“These things are different from seeds. After the beans grow, you need to build a trellis for them, preferably with long bamboo poles, so that they have enough space to grow. If you bury the soil too shallowly, the roots won’t be able to go down. When we bury the soil, we have to water it, and then the roots will be exposed again when the water washes over them.”
Shuying's face was almost covered in mud. She studied very hard, but she just didn't have any talent for farming.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why our crops were different. Yours stood up immediately, while mine lay crookedly here. I never knew there was so much to learn about farming. The working people are truly great."
Song Zhaodi wore a gentle smile, as if she were looking at her own younger sister. Shu Ying was diligent and inquisitive, and in her eyes, everyone seemed to be equal.
"It's not about being great or not, it's just that diligence can make up for lack of talent. You'll understand it over time. Everything is learned through practice."
After she finished speaking, the smile on her face froze for a moment, and her eyelids began to twitch.
Seeing the change in her expression, Shu Ying washed her hands with the nearby water pipe and carefully asked, "Sister Song, what's wrong? You don't look well at all. Are you feeling unwell?"
Song Zhaodi waved her hand and propped herself up on the ground with one hand: "It's nothing, my eyelids just suddenly started twitching, and I felt like something bad was about to happen."
Shu Ying was amused by her: "Sister Song, you believe in these things too? Actually, your eyelid twitching is probably just because you haven't rested well. The muscles in your eyes are pulling on the nerves and twitching. Don't worry about it too much. You've probably been tired these days. Once Xie Zhiyan is discharged from the hospital, you should get some rest."
When Song Zhaodi met Shu Ying's gaze and saw her adorable expression, she couldn't help but chuckle.
There shouldn't be anyone in this world who wouldn't like a girl as lovely as Shuying.
"Look at the two of you, you've made a mess of the yard. You've turned this nice little yard into such a dirty place. Oh, right, Song Zhaodi, you should hurry up and pack your things and leave. Your man is waiting for you at the door."
As the two were talking, someone came in from outside to ruin the atmosphere. Ding Rumei didn't see the displeasure in Shu Ying's eyes at all.
“Your husband has already told me everything about your situation. It’s not that I want to say anything to you, but your in-laws are already so old. How could you sneak out just because your husband didn’t wash the dishes? You’re such a grown man, and you don’t even know how to think about others. You’re so selfish. You shouldn’t have gotten married in the first place. Your husband has been looking for you for days. If he hadn’t run into me, the sentry wouldn’t have let him in even if he had talked himself hoarse.”
Song Zhaodi's smile froze, and the showerhead in her hand clattered to the ground. All the color drained from her face instantly.
Shu Ying stood up from the ground and grabbed her arm with one hand.
"Sister Song, don't worry. Since I was able to bring you out of the train station back then, I can make sure you completely break off your relationship with him. I'll handle this matter. Even if he grows three heads and six arms, he won't be able to take you away from me."
Seeing Song Zhaodi's reaction, Ding Rumei felt a surge of schadenfreude.
"If you ask me, you should go back and apologize to your man. Why can't you talk things out instead of running away? A woman who's always thinking about running away is bound to get beaten. Now that you're married, think about your man. How important is a woman's reputation? If the villagers don't know, they'll think you eloped with another man."
Shu Ying gave her a cold look, and Ding Rumei immediately shut up.
Shu Ying held Song Zhaodi's hand and comforted her earnestly, "Sister Song, you just rest at home. I want to go out and see what other trouble he can cause. Even if the sky falls today, I'll hold it up for you."
She was about to leave after she finished speaking when Song Zhaodi grabbed her arm.
“Yingying, I know you mean well, but this matter has nothing to do with you. Zhou Dawei is a complete scoundrel. If you offend him because of me, he might do something utterly despicable. I can't let you get involved. Since it's my own business, I'll handle it myself.”
Anyway, he had wanted to cut ties with this man for a long time.
Even though they haven't received their divorce certificate, they are still legally married.
She had to escape from that world; her fate had to be in her own hands. She could be timid and cowardly, but she couldn't be a coward for the rest of her life under Shu Ying's protection.
Shu Ying had no obligation to protect her.
Tuantuan had just fallen asleep when Li Qingqing heard about it, and the two of us rushed over before we left.
"Sister Song, you don't need to worry about what happened today. I'll go with you."
Shu Ying glanced at Ding Rumei out of the corner of her eye and gently comforted her, "Tuantuan is still asleep. We can't leave the house unattended. You stay here and keep watch. I'll send someone over to tell you if there's any news."
Li Qingqing paused, realizing that Shu Ying was worried about Ding Rumei, and instantly understood.
"If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. I'll take care of things here at home, so don't worry."
After she finished speaking, she carried the child and went straight into the house.
Ding Rumei originally wanted to go upstairs to take a look.
Shu Ying is the daughter of a capitalist. Even though she is now down on her luck, there should still be many good things in her house.
If Huang Meiling really does send her back to the countryside tomorrow, at least she can make a good profit from Shu Ying.
She had originally thought that since no one was home, she would have time to look for those good things, but unexpectedly, Shu Ying dragged Li Qingqing over again before leaving.
Her expression was somewhat unnatural: "These city folks are so cunning, they're treating me like a thief."
This time she truly realized that Shu Ying had never considered her part of the family.
