Qian Mingjuan lay at home for half a day, feeling hungry and thirsty, but no one came back.
Even Zhao Chunyan, who went to call her mother-in-law, was nowhere to be found.
Thinking of her younger brother, she felt a surge of irritation.
She had looked for all the good girls in the team, but they were all snobs with extremely high standards, and they didn't even like her younger brother, who was from the city.
"Knock knock knock..."
A knock sounded on the door, and Qian Mingjuan craned her neck and called out, "Come in."
"Sister, how are you?" Qian Mingxiu sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) with concern.
Qian Mingjuan grimaced and cursed, "Song Miaoxin is too cruel. She pushed me down the steps. No wonder she's a jinx to her husband. Maybe she'll bring misfortune to her children in the future."
"Stop talking," Qian Mingjuan interrupted her. "If Song Miao finds out about this, you'll probably get another beating."
Qian Mingjuan muttered, "You're my own sister, what's there to hide? Anyway, I won't say it in front of outsiders."
Qian Mingxiu reminded her, "Words can be dangerous, so you should be careful what you say. Have you forgotten how many work points you lost last time for spreading rumors about educated youth?"
"Alright, you've said that so many times, I'm sick of hearing it." Qian Mingjuan was very unhappy to hear it.
Qian Mingxiu sighed and said, "Sister, remember this: our mother is in jail, and our father doesn't care about anything. If something happens to us, no one will stand up for us."
Qian Mingjuan blurted out, "Then there's also a younger brother."
Qian Mingjuan snorted and said, "You argued with others today, why didn't Chen Rui speak up for you? Instead, he just watched the show from the sidelines. He's obviously unreliable. You should stay out of his business from now on."
Seeing her sister's serious expression, Qian Mingjuan remained silent for a while before saying, "Once he gets married, I won't interfere anymore."
Her father doesn't care about anything, and she's still too young to understand things, so we can't just let things drag on like this.
Qian Mingxiu scoffed, stood up and said, "Fine! But sister, you also need to take care of your own life. You and your brother-in-law can't only have one daughter."
Given her sister's disregard for her in-laws' family, she was a little worried that her sister would be kicked out of the house.
It's safer to have more children.
Qian Mingjuan nodded and said, "I know, it's just that I can't get pregnant. I was going to ask about this today, but I got tricked by that brat Yunling."
Qian Mingxiu almost rolled her eyes.
Ever since her younger brother came back, her older sister has been like a gunpowder adrenaline pumping, able to argue with anyone.
Anyone with eyes can see that Chen Rong won't marry someone from the village; she's just playing with Chen Rui.
But her sister insisted that Chen Rong wanted to marry Chen Rui, and would often act as a wicked mother-in-law to break them up.
Qian Mingjuan grew angrier the more she thought about it. Yunling, that wretched girl, usually seemed so quiet and unassuming, but today she suddenly jumped out and bit her.
They even tried to gouge out her eyes, spouting nonsense and smearing her reputation; they were utterly despicable.
She's practically on par with that bitch Chen Rong.
"Sister, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I still have chores to do at home," Qian Mingxiu said.
Qian Mingjuan came to her senses and said, "Help me to the restroom."
With her sister's help, Qian Mingjuan managed to use the restroom.
The thought that this was still a week away made me want to strangle Song Miao.
She limped back into the house, and just as she was about to go in, she heard loud laughter outside.
She turned around abruptly and saw her mother-in-law and some other people from the team who loved to watch the excitement.
"Mingjuan, how are you?" Zhang Lanhua asked with a mocking expression.
Qian Mingjuan rolled her eyes and said, "It's still better than you. At least my man is honest and upright."
Zhang Lanhua: "..."
That damned Zhao Wen, he always embarrasses her.
