Cao Maizi chuckled and said, "It was just too warm yesterday, so the weather changed today. Oh, where did Shenzi and Huzi go to the county town? I asked them, but they wouldn't say, and they still haven't come back."
Whether the matter will be resolved or not is still uncertain, so Su Xueli didn't say anything, and said perfunctorily, "Maybe Tiger wants to find some other business opportunities and wants Ming Shen to go with him. Sigh, two grown men, we don't care about them."
Cao Maizi chimed in, "That's right, those two brats are running off to the ends of the earth and she doesn't even care. Kid, soak your hands in hot water and wash your face first, then Mom will go cook. What do you want to eat?"
Su Xueli said, "Mom, don't we still have some meat left over from the offerings? Let's slice some and stew it with vermicelli and cabbage. It'll smell amazing with just a steamed bun."
Cao Maizi laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, I'll go stew it right away."
Su Xueli soaked her hands, which had frozen into carrot shapes, in hot water, then washed her face. Her in-laws had also finished cooking in the kitchen, and the three of them enjoyed a warm meal together.
Meanwhile, Wei Mingyue was having dinner with Lin Meizhi in her room.
Lin Meizhi was off work today, so Wei Mingyue came from her older sister's house to discuss countermeasures with her. Yes, to discuss countermeasures.
“Sister Meizhi, let me tell you, your situation is extremely dangerous. My brother is being really nice to that country bumpkin now. He actually kicked me out of the house because of her, and even said she's the mistress of our house. Haha, it made me laugh out loud.”
Lin Meizhi almost bit her chopsticks in half when she heard this. She had listened to Wei Mingshen's words and obediently waited for him to divorce his wife and marry her, promising that they would never be separated again. But... the more she thought about it, the more she hated and feared him!
After finishing the last bite of her steamed bun, Wei Mingyue wiped her mouth and said, "Sister Meizhi, we can't just sit here and wait to die. We have to take the initiative. Think of a way. You point and I'll go."
Lin Meizhi's lips turned blue. "If I had a way, I wouldn't have let your brother marry her in the first place."
Wei Mingyue shrank back and said, "Yes. But are we just going to watch that country bumpkin take my brother down?"
"Then what do you suggest we do!" Lin Meizhi grabbed a steamed bun and threw it on the ground.
"Ah!" Wei Mingyue exclaimed in surprise.
She subconsciously got up from the stool to pick up the steamed bun, but Lin Meizhi kicked it away.
Wei Mingyue stared timidly at the steamed bun, too afraid to touch it.
Lin Meizhi's eyes were blazing with fury, her face contorted in a grotesque expression; her beautiful face now looked utterly terrifying.
"Sister Meizhi, don't be like this. We'll find a way. I don't believe we can't beat a country bumpkin," Wei Mingyue whispered to encourage her.
Lin Meizhi bit her lip and nodded: "You're right. How could I, Lin Meizhi, a daughter of an official family, lose to a rude and uncouth village girl? Humph, what a joke."
Wei Mingyue fawned, "That's right, that's right. She's not even in the same league as Sister Meizhi. She's like a firefly trying to compete with the moon. You can't even compare to her!"
Lin Meizhi's sense of superiority was boosted by the praise, and her previous sense of defeat disappeared. She arrogantly thought that Wei Mingshen only had her in his heart, and that he was living with that country bumpkin out of necessity. He was doing it all for his parents, because he was so filial.
But what if... what if she uses any means necessary to get pregnant with his child? Then it won't be so simple.
Yes, this matter needs to be resolved quickly, decisively; she can't take it anymore.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she stared at Wei Mingyue and asked, "Mingyue, tell me the truth, based on your feelings, does your brother love me more or her more?"
Wei Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "I think he still loves you more. I saw with my own eyes how much you loved each other back then. My brother is truly devoted to you. He's only with Su Xueli now because of my parents' sake and his sense of responsibility, since she's his wife now."
You know, my brother may be stubborn, but he's also a responsible person. He should at least show her some respect.
