Zhou Xiaolan tried to stay in the back as much as possible. Since the incident, her family has never given her a kind look.
But can you blame her? What kind of people were the men her family introduced her to before?
If she really marries into their family, she will be the only one who suffers in the future, while her family will benefit and won't care about her.
He Ping'an was a choice she had no other option but to accept. It didn't matter that his family was poor, as long as he was ambitious and liked making money.
She would then go to several surrounding villages to exchange for some goods, and then have He Ping'an sell them on the black market.
After doing this for a few days, my income was already half of He Ping'an's salary, and that was even with the two of us splitting the profits.
Originally, she wanted to slowly rebuild the feelings she had lost and clear up the misunderstandings so that she and He Ping'an could be mutually attracted, which would be even more perfect.
But the family couldn't wait any longer. This time, for some reason, they contacted Liu Qingshan, the bald-headed man who had previously come to annul the engagement, and even agreed that the betrothal gifts could be given slowly, and that they could bring the person to his house after issuing a certificate.
Rather than being sold off cheaply, it's better to find a way out on your own.
So when He Ping'an came to pick up his things, she secretly poured the sedative she had obtained from the village veterinarian into a cup...
It wasn't that she didn't want to take the opportunity to make something happen and solidify the matter, but the drug was too potent, and He Ping'an fell into a deep sleep from which he could not wake up. She could only rely on Bai Ailian's impulsive nature to make the whole courtyard aware of the matter.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Ailian saw a man in her daughter's room, she couldn't sit still any longer and immediately grabbed He Ping'an and dragged him out.
Even if they realize it afterward, they can only continue to make trouble because the neighbors on both sides have seen it.
Go ahead and make a scene. She thought that by making a big fuss, the He family would have to give her an explanation. If she could also separate He Ping'an from the family, then her plan would be even more perfect.
Who knew that the two families would start arguing and eventually even come to blows.
She had only just recovered a little, and she didn't want to suffer any more undeserved misfortune. In a panic, she ran into the Hua family's house. At first, she really wanted to find a place to hide, but later, for some reason, when she saw that familiar courtyard, the fire of jealousy in her heart was ignited.
She always felt that the courtyard should belong to her. Seeing Li Lijuan's attitude as the owner, how could she not be angry?
Besides, they're both women, so why is Li Lijuan able to live such a good life?
She gets everything she wants, while she herself becomes increasingly miserable.
The instant I opened the door, a sudden impulse struck me, and I tightened my grip...
Besides, according to the neighbors, she's fine and has safely given birth to her child.
Which woman doesn't go through childbirth? She's just a bit more delicate, so why did she have to make such a big deal out of it?
They had been hiding at home, thinking that the Hua family would definitely demand compensation from them again. Who knew that the other party would be so ruthless, leaving them no way out.
Thinking of the stain on her file, Zhou Xiaolan clenched her fists. She would settle the score with them slowly later. Anyway, she was having a hard time, and no one else could stay out of it.
“等一下你跟你妈妈去何家，”周进发一进屋，就冷声说道，他不是不想把这死丫头痛揍一顿，只是家里现在艰难，到时候要是打伤了，又得拿钱来医治，“让他们家给两百块钱聘礼，三转一响也不能少，否则你也不用嫁过去了，到时候我直接去告他们。”
“Yes, he came out of his sister’s room, but a lot of people saw him.” Zhou Xiaojun said angrily. He had really lost face these past few days, and he felt like everyone was laughing at his family. He Ping’an was the culprit behind all this, so how could they act like nothing happened?
"And it has to be done today, or don't blame us for being impolite."
It was clearly a fight between two families, so why is it that only the Zhou family is the one who suffers?
They didn't even consider that it was Zhou Xiaolan who rushed in, and it was Zhou Xiaolan who injured people. She should be the culprit.
As for the He family, it's not their turn yet. Little do they know that the Li family is already sharpening their knives and will surely deal with them eventually.
Bai Ailian also felt this made sense, and directly dragged Zhou Xiaolan to the He family.
This is going to be interesting. Everyone who was still in the courtyard followed behind.
They also wanted to know how these two cases were ultimately resolved.
Since her embarrassment at Tianda Compound, Bai Ailian was not as flamboyant this time. When she saw the He family eating, she went in and closed the door behind her.
The neighbor, ready to gossip, was speechless.
"You're eating so early today, it seems your family is living a comfortable life."
Just then, a sound came from inside the house. I wondered what she meant by closing the door.
Everyone pricked up their ears at the same time...
"What are you trying to do now?" He Laicai put down his bowl, it seemed that this meal could not continue.
"What do you think we could be here for? To continue discussing what happened the day before yesterday."
"What, you slept peacefully in my house all night, are you trying to shirk responsibility?"
"Don't talk nonsense, nothing happened that night." He Ping'an stood up nervously and pointed at Zhou Xiaolan, saying, "You should tell your parents what happened that day."
Don't think I didn't know just because I was asleep. The problem definitely lies in that cup of tea you served me earlier.
After several days of discussion, they decided that they absolutely could not accept this matter.
Who are the Zhou family? They're a bunch of scoundrels. Plus, Zhou Xiaolan is so vicious that she could hurt a pregnant woman and even drug He Ping'an. With a woman like that in the family, will they ever have a peaceful life?
“Don’t talk nonsense, you brat,” Zhou Jinfa glared at him, his eyes full of threat. “Everyone saw you run away from our house that day. Only you know what you did to my daughter that night.”
If your family doesn't take responsibility, I'll have to go to the song committee. If you didn't have ulterior motives, why would you come to my house?
He Ping'an couldn't find the words to refute, and looked helplessly at his parents.
He was truly blind before, unaware of Zhou Xiaolan's true nature.
Now that he's being entangled with a woman like this, how is he supposed to live in the future?
Xie Shengnan gave him a calm look, then put her hands on her hips and retorted, "My Ping An can't just sneak into your house in the middle of the night without a sound, can he? It was clearly your Zhou Xiaolan who couldn't stand being alone and tricked my son into going there."
Don't forget, there are many female refugees here too. We haven't even come to your house to claim our losses, yet you have the nerve to come knocking?
The audience outside the door was utterly astonished, as the two sides went back and forth, each trying to pin the blame on the other.
And both sides are damnably right, they don't know which side to take...
