"I'm laughing at you, not at me."

Qin Jinlian was so angry that she stared blankly. Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of the gold bracelet on Shen Mingzhu's wrist.

"Did Pei Yang buy this bracelet for you?"

"Otherwise, I can find a wild man to buy it for me?"

"Can't you just talk properly? Did you eat explosives?"

"If you were woken up by someone while you were sleeping, you would probably be even angrier than me."

Qin Jinlian pursed her lips, "Well, can you lend the bracelet to your second sister-in-law to wear for a few days?"

"cannot."

Shen Mingzhu pulled down her sleeves with a cold face to cover the bracelet on her wrist.

"What's the big deal if I lend it to your second sister-in-law for two days? Will you lose a piece of meat?"

"I won't lose a piece of meat, but this bracelet is definitely a meat bun thrown at a dog. I can't pick it up after throwing it away."

Qin Jinlian tried to persuade her, "Just wear it for two days, I promise I will return it to you, okay?"

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "Mom, do you believe this? How about this, if you dare to swear on the lives of Dad and my elder and second brothers that the gold bracelet will be returned to its original owner in two days, or they die suddenly within three days, I will lend it to you."

Qin Jinlian was so angry that she almost jumped up. "You little bitch, what are you talking about on New Year's Day?! Is your conscience eaten by a dog? You actually cursed your father and your brother with such vicious words, do you want to piss me off to death?"

"So you admit that you never intended to return the bracelet?"

Qin Jinlian didn't respond, "What sin have I committed to give birth to such a cruel daughter like you?"

"I married into the Pei family with nothing. It was not easy for my husband to buy me a bracelet, but you tried every possible way to trick him into giving it to me. Do you really treat me as your daughter? Do you treat me as a money-making tool?

Have you ever thought about how I would explain to Pei Yang and my elder sister-in-law if I gave you the bracelet? Do you think Pei Yang's money came from the wind? People happily bought me a bracelet during the Chinese New Year, but I took it back to my parents' home. I don't know if you have the face to see Pei Yang, but I have no face to do such a wicked thing. "

Qin Jinlian was so angry that she just stared blankly and could not speak.

After a while, she began to wipe her tears and complained, "Do you think I want this? It's your second sister-in-law. She insisted that Xiangnan buy her a gold necklace, otherwise she would not give birth to a baby."

"Then don't give birth!"

"How can that be possible? Your second brother is already 25 years old this year. Others of his age would have children who are already old enough to help with cooking."

"My family is so poor that we don't even have an extra room. How can we raise the baby? Who will raise it?"

Qin Jinlian wiped her tears and said, "Just give birth to the child first. We can always raise him. We were so poor before, but dad and I still raised you three siblings."

Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she didn't want to talk.

Seeing that she was angry, Qin Jinlian didn't dare to mention the gold bracelet again.

"How much money did you bring back this time? I've discussed it with your dad. We can help your second brother collect some money to buy a gold necklace for your second sister-in-law. You have to subsidize it."

"You bought a gold necklace for your second sister-in-law, who hasn't even laid an egg yet. What about your eldest sister-in-law? She at least gave you a granddaughter. She didn't fight or compete, and she just kept to her duty. So she deserves to get nothing, right?"

Qin Jinlian said, "We are talking about your second sister-in-law now, why are you bringing up your eldest sister-in-law? If you can't stand it, why don't you buy it for her?"

"If she remarries and becomes my daughter-in-law, I will buy her not only a gold necklace, but also a gold bracelet, a gold ring, and gold earrings. I will buy her all four pieces. Mom, I really don't understand what you are thinking. You are the flesh and blood of your hands. How can you be so partial to your second brother and his wife? If you are unhappy in your later years and your eldest brother and his wife are unfilial to you, I think you deserve it. It's your own fault! Because you are partial, your eldest brother and his wife are disappointed with you!"

"Then what do you want me to do? Am I going to watch your second brother die without anyone to take over? You only know how to blame me. If you were willing to lend a hand, would I have to be so embarrassed? Who am I doing this for? It's for this family. Your second brother loved you so much that he broke his leg while picking sour dates for you. Have you forgotten that?"

The more Qin Jinlian spoke, the more she felt wronged, and tears streamed down her face.

To be fair, the two brothers Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan were really good to the original owner.

In rural areas like Shenjiagou, the status of girls is extremely low. Girls from other families have to help work in the fields at the age of five or six, but the original owner was raised with delicate skin and tender flesh, all because of her two brothers who supported her.

Shen Mingzhu took a breath and said, "Don't cry poor and pitiful in front of me. As a daughter, I will not shirk my filial duty to you and dad, but don't try to take advantage of me for other things."

Hearing her say this, Qin Jinlian slowly stopped crying.

"How much I get depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I get more. If someone makes me feel bad, I get nothing."

Seeing that she was serious, Qin Jinlian immediately stood up and said, "Well, then go to sleep. I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he really turned around and walked out.

Shen Mingzhu lay down in a bad mood and prepared to go back to sleep, but she was so upset that she couldn't fall asleep. She could only stare at the wooden rafters of the roof with her eyes open and slowly calm down.

——

Qin Jinlian stepped out of the eldest son's room and saw her grandson Pei Ziheng riding alone on a wooden carriage, but her granddaughter Daya was nowhere to be seen, so she walked over.

"Ziheng, where's Daya?"

Pei Ziheng raised his dark eyes and said, "She is in the ditch."

Qin Jinlian was stunned, then her head went blank and she rushed out the door screaming.

"Daya! Daya!!!"

Staring at Qin Jinlian's panicked back, Pei Ziheng's mouth curled up evilly.

The shrill scream startled Shen Mingzhu who was lying on the bed. She quickly turned over, put on her clothes and ran out of the room.

Seeing her stepson sitting alone on the wooden carriage, rocking leisurely, Shen Mingzhu hurried over.

"Ziheng, what happened just now? Where's Daya?"

Pei Ziheng turned around, his face calm and composed, "Daya is playing outside."

Shen Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "What was grandma shouting just now?"

"have no idea."

Pei Ziheng shook his head, his expression innocent and confused, "She asked me where Daya was, I told her, and she suddenly ran out screaming..."

As he was speaking, Qin Jinlian ran back angrily, glaring at Pei Ziheng as if she wanted to eat him, and raised her hand to hit Pei Ziheng in the face.

Shen Mingzhu quickly blocked Pei Ziheng behind her.

"Mom, what are you doing!?"

"Mingzhu, get out of the way. I'm going to teach this little bastard a lesson today!"

Shen Mingzhu desperately stopped Qin Jinlian, "What's the matter? Explain it clearly."

Qin Jinlian was furious, "Ask him yourself!"

Shen Mingzhu didn't dare to let go, fearing that Qin Jinlian would attack Pei Ziheng in anger, so she had to ask Pei Ziheng to go find Pei Yang.

Pei Ziheng also obeyed, jumped off the wooden carriage and ran away.

Qin Jinlian wanted to chase after him, but Shen Mingzhu grabbed her hand.

"Mingzhu, let go!"

"I won't let go."

Turning back to see Pei Ziheng had disappeared, Qin Jinlian was so angry that she pushed Shen Mingzhu away.

“Dad! Dad!

Pei Yang was telling the Shen family father and son, as well as the villagers of Shenjiagou, about his past experiences on the battlefield. When he heard his son calling him, he subconsciously turned around and saw his son running towards him with his short legs, his hair standing up.

"Dad! Grandma beat Aunt Mingzhu!"

What? My wife was beaten? Pei Yang turned around and ran to Shen's house. Shen Jianguo and his sons looked at each other and hurried home.
