I don’t know if it was because the original body had deep feelings for Qin Jinlian, but seeing Qin Jinlian crying so sadly, Shen Mingzhu felt a little bit of pity.
So I slowed down my tone and advised, "Mom, please stop crying. If crying can solve the problem, I will definitely cry louder than you."
Qin Jinlian glared at her with red eyes, "It's all your fault, you little bitch. You didn't come back for so long, and when you came back you only knew how to piss me off."
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I'll make amends to you, okay?"
Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan also tried to persuade her in a kind way. With this excuse, Qin Jinlian stepped down and slowly stopped crying. However, she did not even look at her daughter-in-law Du Juan. She obviously blamed the other party for saying something that had touched her heart.
Shen Mingzhu couldn't stand it enough and wanted to say a few fair words on behalf of her sister-in-law.
"Mom, don't blame your sister-in-law. This situation would be unbalanced for anyone. You are also a daughter-in-law. If your mother-in-law treated you differently, you would probably make a bigger fuss than your sister-in-law."
Qin Jinlian looked at her and said, "Since you are so supportive of your sister-in-law, why don't you give her and Chaobei some money? What's the point of just talking about it?"
Shen Mingzhu was speechless. "You are biased and the distribution is uneven, but you want me, a married woman, to clean up your mess. Is there any mother like you?"
"Without my plan for you, do you think you can marry into the city and enjoy a comfortable life? Even if you get married, you are still my daughter, Qin Jinlian. What's wrong with asking you to take some money? Shouldn't you take it?"
Shen Mingzhu didn't want to say anything more. "Okay, then you name a price. Just consider it as buying out our mother-daughter relationship. From now on, I will cut off all ties with this family."
Qin Jinlian was stunned, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried and beat Shen Mingzhu.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you stupid girl? I asked you to give me some money and you actually want to break off your relationship with your family. I really raised you in vain, you have no conscience! You might as well make me die of anger!"
"So you gave birth to me and raised me just to make me a slave and suck my blood? From the time I came home until now, you have never asked me if I am doing well in the Pei family or if I have been wronged. All you ask for is money. You are treating me like an ATM, right?"
"Your Pei Yang is so good at making money. Ren Baolan said that you have made a lot of money selling egg cakes and moon cakes in the city. What's wrong with taking some money out to help your elder brother and his wife? Now that you have a good life, you don't care about your elder brother's life or death, right? Your elder brother loved you so much when you were a child, but it was all in vain!"
Shen Mingzhu sneered, "According to what you said, Pei Yang is really unlucky to marry me. Giving a large sum of money as a betrothal gift is not enough, and he will have to fill the bottomless pit of this family endlessly in the future. Anyway, I am not so shameless. I live in my husband's house and eat and live in my husband's house and take the money from my husband's house to my parents' house. I might as well not live like this anymore. I will divorce and go home to work like a cow and a horse for you for the rest of my life!"
Qin Jinlian was so angry that her lips trembled, and she stared at Shen Mingzhu and cried breathlessly.
In order to stop the mother and daughter from continuing to quarrel, Shen Chaobei hurriedly pulled Shen Mingzhu to his room.
Shen Xiangnan stayed in Qin Jinlian's room and tried to persuade her with kind words.
Although Shen Mingzhu was angry, she was still worried about her stepson. As a result, when she went out, she saw her stepson standing outside the door, looking at her with dark eyes.
Shen Mingzhu walked over, touched his head, and asked in a slow tone, "It's not fun in the countryside, right? Do you want me to take you out for a walk?"
Pei Ziheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Shen Mingzhu knew that this meant he agreed, so she took his hand and walked out the door.
There is a ditch in front of her house, with reeds more than two meters high on both sides of the ditch. It is the season when reed flowers are in full bloom. A breeze blows, the reed stalks sway gently, and the reed flowers as light as clouds dance.
Faced with such a rare spectacle, Shen Mingzhu's mood instantly improved a lot.
The path beside the ditch was very narrow and the road surface was overgrown with weeds, only wide enough for one person to walk.
Shen Mingzhu asked Pei Ziheng to walk in front and she walked behind, and the mother and son walked forward along the ditch, one in front and one behind.
"Be careful and walk slowly."
Thinking of the fact that the original owner had slipped and fallen into this small ditch, Shen Mingzhu said subconsciously.
In her previous life, Shen Mingzhu often went back to her parents' home but never brought him with her. But in this life, she brought him back.
In her previous life, Shen Mingzhu always asked her parents for money, food, and clothes. In this life, not only did she refuse to help her parents, she also had huge quarrels with them.
"Pearl——"
Halfway through the walk, someone called out from behind.
Shen Mingzhu turned around and looked for a long time before recognizing that it was a friend of the original owner named Shen Hongmei.
Shen Hongmei quickly walked over, looking her up and down at her outfit and clothes, with envy on her face.
"Look at you now. You really are a real city dweller. Your skin has become much whiter."
Knowing that the original owner had a good relationship with Shen Hongmei, Shen Mingzhu casually asked about the other party's recent situation.
The two chatted for a few words before Shen Hongmei suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "There's something you don't know yet. On the day you and Shen Baolan went on a blind date, you fell into the ditch because someone had set you up."
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Hiss, it turns out the original owner didn’t stumble.
Shen Mingzhu immediately became interested and asked the other party to explain in detail.
"That morning, just after dawn, my sister-in-law wanted to go to the fields to pick some tender corns to cook at home, but when she went out, she saw Shen Baolan doing something sneaky by the ditch. My sister-in-law didn't pay much attention at the time. Later, she heard that you fell into the ditch when you went out. When my sister-in-law went to work in the afternoon, she went around to the place where you fell into the ditch and found that oil was poured there. Later, she heard that you and the blind date got married, but my sister-in-law didn't dare to tell anyone for fear of causing trouble."
This is very interesting.
What was Shen Baolan's purpose in doing this? Was she simply trying to stop the original owner from going on a blind date, or was she trying to kill the original owner? If it was the former, she would be uneasy. If it was the latter, what kind of hatred or grudge would that be?
Shen Hongmei continued to talk non-stop, "This Shen Baolan is really a piece of shit. She actually used such a sinister method to harm you. You can't let her off easily..."
"Hongmei, thank you for telling me this, but can you please not tell anyone about this for now?"
"Why?"
"I have other plans."
"All right……"
The two people who were whispering did not notice Pei Ziheng standing beside them.
When he learned that Shen Baolan abandoned his father and chose to marry Zhou Hao's father, he was also confused. After all, no matter how you look at it, his father is better and more outstanding than Zhou Hao's father.
It was not until this moment, when he heard about this hidden incident on the day of the blind date, that a guess suddenly emerged in his mind.
Could it be that Shen Baolan had foresight and knew that her father would die early, so she did everything she could to stop Shen Mingzhu from going on blind dates, in case Zhou Shuhuan would fall in love with Shen Mingzhu and refuse to marry her?
Therefore, Shen Baolan also had some "contribution" to his tragic experience in his previous life.
A hint of coldness appeared in Pei Ziheng's dark eyes.
