Chapter 41 The Embarrassed Wang Paner
After the Shen family’s house burned down, the Shen family had to move into the old house of the Shen family. Although the old house had been abandoned for a long time, with the help of the villagers, it was roughly repaired and could be lived in for the time being.
However, because most of the bedding and clothes were burned, it was really inconvenient these days. This time when she came to the town, Wang Sufen gave her all the cloth and cotton coupons in the house, just to make some preparations before winter came.
Shen Anan just happened to exchange the bills in her hand to make up this amount, but it was still too little for a big family, so she could only think of a way later.
If she signs in recently and doesn't get any cloth coupons, she'll probably have to consider going to the black market again.
…
…
Arriving in the village, Shen Anan did not rush back to the Shen family, but went to the Xia family first.
Before, Xia Chunmei gave her a handkerchief embroidered by herself and took her to her secret base to pick a lot of mushrooms, so when she went to the town today, she also brought a small gift for Xia Chunmei.
Xia Chunmei was very surprised to see Shen Anan: "Anan, why are you here? I was afraid that your family was busy these days, so I didn't dare to look for you. Come in and sit down."
Shen Anan quickly shook her hand: “No, I don’t dare to go back late now, my mother can go directly to the police station to report the case.”
"I happened to be in town today, and when I saw this scarf, I thought it would suit you very well. Chunmei, try it on and see if you like it?"
The scarf is made of rayon, with a red base color, a diamond pattern on it, and a beige border around it, making it look simple and elegant.
Xia Chunmei couldn't let go of the silk scarf that Shen An'an stuffed in her hand, and after a moment she said hesitantly: "An'an, this is too expensive, I can't take it...I..."
"Aren't we friends? Isn't it normal for friends to give each other gifts? I'm still waiting for you to take me to the secret base to pick mushrooms again!" Shen Anan winked playfully.
"Let's go next time it rains. I know of a forest that has wood ear mushrooms in it!"
"That's great..."
As the two were talking, there was suddenly a burst of shouting and cursing mixed with crying from the yard next to them.
The Xia family's yard is next to Wang Paner's house, and the sound just now came from the Wang family's yard.
"Oh, this old lady Wang is really too much!" Xia Chunmei sighed with a bit of sympathy on her face.
"What's going on with the Wang family? This battle looks quite big!" Shen Anan asked curiously. She didn't expect that Xia Chunmei's house was right next to the Wang family. It seemed that it would be convenient to inquire about the situation of the heroine's family later.
"It's because Wang Pan'er always gives things to Duan Zhiqing that Mrs. Wang is always unhappy. A few days ago, Wang Pan'er beat Wang Xiaobao for some reason."
"This is really heartbreaking. The next day, Wang Po went to find matchmaker Qian and wanted to marry Wang Pan'er off. She even said that as long as the bride price was high, she would marry Wang Pan'er even if she had missing arms and legs."
"Hey, listen to me, is this something a mother would say?"
"Chunmei, how do you know so much about this?" Shen Anan was a little confused.
Xia Chunmei came closer and whispered, "We have a fight almost every day these days. Our yards are next to each other, so it's hard for us not to know about it."
"Don't you think Mrs. Wang is going too far?"
In the original book, Wang Pan'er made a lot of money from the black market after her rebirth. Mrs. Wang always supported her for the sake of the money. Later, after Duan Hongzhe returned to the city with the help of the original owner's family, Wang Pan'er followed him. This did not happen.
With such a family, it is understandable that Wang Paner wanted to change her fate after her rebirth. It’s just that she chose the wrong method. Men are so reliable that even sows can climb trees.
Xia Chunmei felt like a big rock was pressing on her chest: "An An, do you think that we girls are really money-losing goods? We have lived for more than ten years, is it just to get a dowry for our family?"
Shen Anan didn't know what to say. It was because the whole Shen family doted on her. Her situation was different from that of other girls in the village. Now, no matter what she said, she felt like she was talking without any pain in her waist.
Since ancient times, women in China have been in a disadvantaged position. Even though people’s minds have been liberated now, concepts are often the hardest to break. Even in modern times, many women are trapped in the predicament of their original families.
Seeing that Xia Chunmei was getting a little too stubborn, Shen Anan could only advise her: "Don't get carried away. People like Wang Pozi are still a minority, and this is not the old society. As long as you can stand on your own feet, there will always be a way..."
Before he could finish his words, the door of the Wang family next door suddenly opened, and a slightly plump figure fell out, fell to the ground, and cried out in pain.
Shen An calmed down and took a look. Isn't this Qian the matchmaker who went to the Shen family to matchmake for Shen Yuanjia?
"You old witch, get out of here. Whoever wants to marry the son of the Du family can marry him. I won't marry him!" Wang Pan'er stood at the door with a broom held high, gesticulating and cursing.
"If your family doesn't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go. It was your mother who clearly agreed to the marriage, so what right do you have to hit people! People like you should just be happy that you can get married!" Matchmaker Qian recovered and couldn't help but point at Wang Pan'er and cursed her angrily.
"Get out of here right now! Otherwise I'll beat you up every time I see you! Ah..."
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind Wang Pan'er, grabbed her hair and dragged her backwards. While dragging her, Wang Po pinched her with her hands.
"You loser, who gave you the guts! And you dare to hit someone! I'm telling you, don't say that the son of the Du family is just a fool, even if he is dead, you have to marry him!"
“Ahhhhhhhh…” Wang Paner struggled like crazy. Po Wang didn’t catch her in time, and she actually broke free.
"I'll see who dares to force me. If you make me angry, I will take you to death together!" Wang Pan'er picked up the axe for chopping wood in the yard and held it in front of her, saying viciously.
Granny Wang looked at the axe in front of her and lowered her voice involuntarily, "I... I am your mother, you must listen to me..."
"You are destined to be poor! I don't care. A shrew like you deserves to be unmarried!"
Qian the matchmaker outside the door swallowed her saliva, stood up, and after saying a few harsh words, she left in shame.
Wang Paner felt like all the strength had been drained from her body. Ever since she beat Wang Xiaobao in a fit of rage last time, Mrs. Wang had hated her. Now she actually wanted to marry her to a fool for a dowry of 500 yuan!
She lived her whole life again, not to be sold again by Mrs. Wang!
She also wants to marry Duan Zhiqing and live a good life!
Wang Pan'er was about to put down the axe and go into the house, when suddenly her peripheral vision swept outside the door. Shen An'an and Xia Chunmei were standing at the door, looking at her with sympathy.
Wang Paner's mind went blank for a moment, and the extreme shame was about to overwhelm her!
She was in a mess, her hair had just been messed up by Mrs. Wang, and she was holding an axe, looking like a crazy woman. This scene was actually seen by Shen Anan!
Shen Anan, why is she so high and mighty, why can she be held in the palm of the Shen family's hand, why...sympathize with herself! !
“Bang!”
Wang Paner suddenly rushed forward and closed the door tightly.
Inexplicably, she watched a big drama played by the heroine. Although Shen Anan did not do it on purpose, she felt a little embarrassed. She actually agreed with Wang Paner's courage to resist. Wang Po's behavior was really disgusting.
But it looks like they are standing here just to watch the fun, so they should just go home quickly.
"Chunmei, I'm going to go back first. I'll come and play with you when I have time!"
"Okay, thank you for the scarf, I really like it!"
In the Wang family's yard, Wang Pan'er kept closing the door for a long time without moving. Mrs. Wang's cursing words seemed to be in her ears yet seemed very far away.
She was trembling with only one thought in her mind!
She must make sure that Shen Anan will never be proud again!
