Shen Baolan told Liu Cuihua about her unhappy life in the Zhou family in a very exaggerated way, hoping that Liu Cuihua would stand on her side and support her ideas.

However, Liu Cuihua is a typical rural woman, and what her daughter said was not a problem at all in her opinion.

"Go out to the village and see which daughter-in-law didn't go through this? After many years of being a daughter-in-law, she eventually becomes a mother-in-law. When I first got married, I lived a worse life than you! You at the Zhou family at least had no worries about food and drink. When I married your father, I worked in the fields during the day and took care of the old and the children at night. I was so tired that I couldn't even have a bowl of soup. I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I wanted to tear the cotton wool and eat it. Let Ma Sufen say whatever she wants. Why do you care about her? How many years can she live? Wouldn't it be a relief if you grit your teeth and wait her out to death?"

Shen Baolan didn't want to live with Zhou Shuhuan, not just because of the conflict with Ma Sufen.

"Mom, the dream I had was fake! Zhou Shuhuan can't become a rich man, so why should I live with him?"

Liu Cuihua stared at her daughter blankly, her mouth open but no sound came out for a long time.

At first, when her daughter told her that it was a dream, she refused to believe it.

Who would take dreams seriously?

Later, her daughter personally took her to the Pei family to verify it. She gradually believed it and began to look forward to this matter.

As time went by, her expectations for her son-in-law Zhou Shuhuan grew stronger and stronger.

She hopes that her son-in-law can become rich soon so that she, as the mother-in-law, can also benefit from it and live a good life.

Even in her spare time or before going to bed at night, she would still fantasize about living a good life in the future.

First build a few bright brick houses, then find a beautiful and capable wife for your son, give birth to a bunch of kids, and eat big pork elbows for every meal at home. The elbows must be stewed until they are soft and tender, and melt in your mouth with one bite, greasy and fragrant. How wonderful such days are.

But now.

Pop.

Her dream was shattered.

The brick house is gone, the daughter-in-law is gone, the little grandson is gone, and I can no longer eat pork elbows every day.

Liu Cuihua's heart was like a piece of tender tofu dropped on the ground, shattered into pieces.

"How come it's fake? Why is it fake?"

Liu Cuihua was in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.

Shen Baolan understood Liu Cuihua's reaction too well. It was the same feeling she had when she heard Pei Yang say that he would leave in April.

It was like being struck by thunder from the sky, and the soul was gone.

"In my dream, Pei Yang didn't come back. He would have died outside next month, but he came back."

"I asked Pei Yang, and he said that he would not leave until April this time. He would not die outside."

"If Pei Yang hadn't died, Zhou Shuhuan would naturally not have become successful."

Liu Cuihua was almost confused. "If Pei Yang doesn't die, then so be it. How can you be sure that Zhou Shuhuan won't become successful?"

"If Pei Yang doesn't die, then the dream I had is fake. If the dream is fake, then how can Zhou Shuhuan become a wealthy man like in the dream?"

Liu Cuihua sat on the edge of the kang for a long time before she spoke.

"Nier, just accept your fate, stop struggling, give birth to the baby, and live a good life with your son-in-law."

"Why should I accept my fate? Pei Yang should be my man!"

Shen Baolan's words were so shocking that Liu Cuihua almost jumped up.

She leaned out of the window to look while covering her daughter's mouth tightly.

"You want to die? What are you talking about? Aren't you afraid that someone will hear you and spit on you and drown you?"

Shen Baolan shook off Liu Cuihua's hand and said, "I can't swallow this."

"If I hadn't had that dream, I would have married Pei Yang a long time ago. Now I would be the one enjoying the good life and wearing the gold bracelet."

"I can tolerate everything else, but I can't tolerate Shen Mingzhu riding on me! From childhood to adulthood, how am I not better than her? When I think about the fact that I personally handed over such a good man like Pei Yang to her, I want to slap myself twice."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly slapped twice on the face.

There were two crisp slaps, and Shen Baolan was stunned.

Liu Cuihua glared at her, "What do you think I did? Of course I woke you up! Are you still asleep? Do you think marriage is like a child playing house, marrying whoever you like today and marrying someone else tomorrow if you're not happy?

Don't the Zhou family have a mirror? Otherwise, I'll pee in front of you and look at you. Look at what you look like now. You have a big belly and are as fat as a pig. Not to mention that Pei Yang looks down on you, even the old widower at the village head despises you!"

Shen Baolan's head was buzzing from the scolding.

Of course, she knew that she was not as pretty as she was when she was a girl, but was this what her mother said? Could this be an enemy? Liu Cuihua spoke harshly, "Give up this idea as soon as possible and live a good life with Shuhuan, do you hear me?"

"I won't!"

Liu Cuihua raised her hand to hit him, but Shen Baolan leaned forward and said, "Hit me, hit me, hit me to death! There's no point in living like this anyway."

Liu Cuihua glared at her stubborn daughter, with her hand raised for a long time without falling. Finally, she slapped her thigh in anger.

"What sin have I committed to deserve such a stubborn temper? Are you looking for death?!"

Shen Baolan wiped the tears from her face, her expression revealing a resolute look.

"Mom, just wait and see. I had the ability to snatch Shen Mingzhu's marriage away, and now I have the ability to snatch Pei Yang back!"

Liu Cuihua was confused and asked, "How are you going to rob it?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm sure I can think of a way."

Liu Cuihua's eyes went dark and she almost fainted from anger.

——

There are not many entertainment activities in the countryside. After dinner when it gets dark, people basically go to bed.

Country people are not particular about foot washing. The whole family shares one basin for washing feet. Pei Yang did not mind and washed Shen Mingzhu's feet happily. While washing, he deliberately stepped on Shen Mingzhu's tender white feet with his big feet. Shen Mingzhu glared at him several times, but he did not restrain himself. Instead, he became more presumptuous and secretly hooked the soles of Shen Mingzhu's feet with his toes. Shen Mingzhu was so angry that she wanted to push the man's head into the basin to wash it.

After washing his feet, Pei Yang asked Shen Mingzhu expectantly, "Which room shall we sleep in tonight?"

No wonder the dog man looked so excited since he had dinner. It turned out that he was thinking about good things.

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "You and my elder brother, second brother and my father will sleep in the east room."

Pei Yang was stunned. "What about you and Xiao Heng?"

"Of course we will sleep in the north room with our sister-in-law and Daya."

“…”

Pei Yang was unwilling to give up and asked her again, "Which room did you sleep in before?"

Shen Mingzhu pointed towards the west room.

Pei Yang took a look and couldn't help wondering, "Isn't that your second brother's room? You and your second brother sleep in the same room?"

"My second brother used to sleep in the side room next to mine. Last year, he got married, so we connected the two rooms and made a new house for him."

Pei Yang remained silent.

the next day.

After breakfast, the two sisters-in-law invited Shen Mingzhu to go to the market.

Thinking that there was nothing to do at home, it would be nice to go to the market for a stroll, so Shen Mingzhu readily agreed.

As soon as Shen Mingzhu left the door, Qin Jinlian, Shen Jianguo, and the two brothers of the Shen family called Pei Yang to the east room to talk.

Pei Ziheng glanced in the direction of the east room, then turned to Daya, who was sitting in the wooden carriage with a silly smile, and said, "Let's play hide-and-seek. You go hide first, and I'll come find you. I'll count ten times."

After saying that, he covered his eyes and started counting without waiting for Daya's response.

Daya jumped off the wooden carriage clumsily, looked around, and ran to the woodshed with her short legs.

After counting to ten, Pei Ziheng put down his hand, turned around and walked straight towards the east room without even looking at the woodshed.

I am not feeling well, so I will only update once today and twice tomorrow :)
