Shen Baolan was confused and asked subconsciously: "Where are we going?"

"Go to Shen Mingzhu's house and apologize to her."

"I'm not going!"

Shen Baolan rejected the offer faster than her brain could handle it. After she rejected the offer, she realized, "Why should I apologize to her?"

Liu Cuihua looked at her and said, "When you were dating, you caused her to fall into the ditch. You should apologize to her and let this matter be settled."

This is not a glorious thing after all. Only Shen Baolan and Liu Cuihua, mother and daughter, know about it. Shen Dashan and Shen Hao, father and son, are unaware of it.

Even though word has spread in the village over the years that it was Shen Baolan who designed the incident and caused Shen Mingzhu to fall into the ditch, she has never admitted it.

If she doesn't admit it, she didn't do it.

Now that Liu Cuihua has torn off her fig leaf and laid the matter bare, she can't help feeling uncomfortable.

It would be fine if only her own people knew about it, but asking her to go to Shen Mingzhu's family and admit that she had done such an immoral thing and apologize to Shen Mingzhu was absolutely impossible.

"I'm not going!"

Shen Baolan made her attitude clear again.

Liu Cuihua would not indulge her, so she pulled her out and said, "You have to go whether you want to or not. I have already made an appointment with people, and the village chief is waiting there."

When Shen Baolan heard that the village chief was also there, she was even more reluctant to go.

"Brother, brother! Save me!"

She held onto the door frame and asked Shen Hao for help.

Shen Hao loved Shen Baolan since he was a child, and couldn't help but plead, "Mom, Baolan has been at odds with Shen Mingzhu since she was a child. You might as well kill her if you want her to bow to Shen Mingzhu."

Shen Baolan agreed: "That's right, I will never bow to Shen Mingzhu even if I die."

"Okay, then go die!"

Liu Cuihua suddenly got angry and slapped Shen Baolan loudly in the face.

The whole family was stunned.

Shen Baolan herself was also confused and covered her face for a long time, unable to recover.

Liu Cuihua pointed at her and said, "If you are really tired of living, just go to the back hill and find a tree to hang yourself. That will be the end of it. I won't bother to care about you anymore!"

"Look at yourself. You're already 25 years old, and you keep making trouble every day. When will you let people take it easy?"

"Look at Shen Mingzhu. You two grew up eating the same rice and drinking the same water. Why can she live a prosperous life, but you can't just live in peace?"

Shen Baolan burst into tears of grievance.

Of course she wants to live a good life, but she doesn't have the same good fortune as Shen Mingzhu, so what can she do?

"Let me ask you one question: Do you still want to live like this?"

Shen Baolan couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst into tears, "Of course I do. I'm still so young, my Yuanbao is still so small, and I haven't had a good life yet..."

Liu Cuihua stepped forward and grabbed her, "If you've thought about it, come with me to apologize to Shen Mingzhu and put an end to the past. From now on, you two should stay out of each other's way and live your own lives."

Shen Baolan didn't dare not go.

If she dared to say no, Liu Cuihua would slap her in the face.

Shen Mingzhu's house was very lively. In addition to Qin Jinlian and her husband and the village chief Shen Dequan, there were also many villagers who came to watch the fun after hearing the news.

In front of so many people, Liu Cuihua was very frank.

"Jinlian, it was my Baolan who caused your Mingzhu to fall into the ditch. I brought her here today to apologize to your Mingzhu."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of pairs of eyes turned to Shen Baolan.

Shen Baolan was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to bury her head in the ground.

Qin Jinlian and Liu Cuihua had been fighting openly and secretly for their entire lives. This was the first time Liu Cuihua bowed her head in front of her. She felt as happy as if she had drunk iced sour plum soup on a hot summer day.

"Cuihua, your Baolan is so vicious. The water in the ditch is one and a half meters deep. It's God's blessing that my Mingzhu is still alive."

Liu Cuihua didn't say any more nonsense, turned around and pulled Shen Baolan over, "Today, in front of everyone, apologize to Shen Mingzhu, and this matter will be over."

"Come on, don't make me whip you!"

Liu Cuihua showed her power and Shen Baolan had to bow to Shen Mingzhu.

"sorry."

Shen Mingzhu: "Who are you sorry to? Please explain clearly."

Shen Baolan glared at her with red eyes, "Don't go too far."

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "Who is bullying who? Shen Baolan, you have never experienced the feeling of being drowned in your life."

"Shen Baolan, you were wrong in this matter. Please apologize to Shen Mingzhu."

After the village chief spoke, the villagers who were watching the fun also started to criticize Shen Baolan.

Shenjiagou is located in the mountains and forests, with severe water shortages, and most people cannot swim.

Shen Baolan designed to make Shen Mingzhu fall into the water, which is no different from murder.

Shen Baolan couldn't bear the pressure and had to hold her nose and apologize to Shen Mingzhu, "Shen Mingzhu, I'm sorry, it was me who caused you to fall into the water."

Seeing that Shen Baolan admitted her mistake, the village chief turned around and acted as a peacemaker with Shen Mingzhu.

"Mingzhu, it's been a long time since the incident happened, and Shen Baolan has apologized. Let's just forget about it."

Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Baolan and said, "I have witnesses. With everyone's testimony today, I can definitely charge you with attempted murder. But for the sake of our hometown, I will let you go this last time, Shen Baolan. If you offend me again next time, I will not show mercy."

Shen Baolan was so ashamed that she turned around and ran out.

Liu Cuihua ignored Shen Baolan and said to Shen Mingzhu: "Shen Mingzhu, I have fulfilled your conditions. Don't forget what you promised me."

Before Shen Mingzhu could respond, Qin Jinlian became anxious and asked, "What did you promise her?"

Shen Mingzhu nodded to Liu Cuihua and said, "Ask Shen Baolan to wait for me at the entrance of the village. I'll be there soon."

Only then did Liu Cuihua leave.

The village chief and villagers also left one after another.

Qin Jinlian was afraid that her daughter would suffer at the hands of Liu Cuihua, so she pulled Shen Mingzhu aside and asked, "What did you promise Liu Cuihua?"

"Nothing."

"you……"

Qin Jinlian wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, but was shut up by the photos Shen Mingzhu took out.

"This, this is Zilong?"

Qin Jinlian looked at the little baby in the photo and felt both surprised and happy.

"I went to Chengdu in March and asked my eldest brother for a photo of Zilong's first birthday. You can keep it as a souvenir."

Qin Jinlian ran to Shen Jianguo with a smile on her face, "Old man, look how good Zilong looks. He looks exactly like Chaobei."

Shen Jianguo nodded happily.

The old couple was so absorbed in the photo of their eldest grandson that they didn't even notice Shen Mingzhu had left.

When I came to my senses, Shen Mingzhu was gone.

…

At the entrance of the village, under the crooked jujube tree.

Shen Baolan stared at her with red eyes, her face showing humiliation and indignation.

"Shen Mingzhu, you are very proud, right?"

Shen Mingzhu said calmly, "Shen Baolan, you have a good mother. Your mother has been competitive all her life, and she is just as competitive as my mother. But for you, she would rather put aside her face and dignity and bow to my mother, just wanting you to live well." (End of this chapter)
