Shen Banxia didn't pay attention to Zhou Mingjiao's affairs. What she didn't know was that because of her appearance on television, the Zhou family had started thinking about Zhou Mingjiao again.
Perhaps having tasted success with Zhou Mingjiao, Zhou's mother repeatedly wrote to her asking for money, which Zhou Mingjiao initially gave in.
But then more and more came, and she couldn't take it anymore. Not only that, even Zhou's father wrote to her, implying that he wanted money. She was on the verge of a breakdown.
Originally, she only recognized the Su family halfway through her life. Because of these troubles, her family no longer liked her. She had originally planned to ask Shen Banxia for help, but was refused.
Thinking of the strange things that had happened to her when she had tried to bewitch others, she eventually went to the Su family.
In particular, in her dream, she was actually a couple with Su Wenze. Thinking about the days when she could be picked up and dropped off whenever she went out, and comparing it to her current situation, she was unwilling to accept it no matter what.
Remembering something she had discovered before, Zhou Mingjiao returned to Zhoujiazhuang.
The Zhou family's affairs also need to be dealt with.
Shen Banxia learned about Zhou Mingjiao's return to Zhoujiazhuang through a telegram sent by Zhao Di.
She found Zhou Mingqian and asked, "Do you think Zhou Mingjiao came back to Zhoujiazhuang for something?"
"I don't know, but she's a bit neurotic, so don't worry about her. By the way, my dad wants to spend the New Year with us this year, what do you think?" Zhou Mingqian asked his wife for her opinion.
"I'm fine. It's more fun with more people. Besides, my little one is very attached to his grandpa." Speaking of which, the little guy is already five years old. Time flies!
Now that we've entered the 1980s, everything is full of vitality.
She and Zhou Mingqian are also about to graduate, and they both plan to pursue postgraduate studies.
The child is now in kindergarten, with the help of grandparents to look after him, and Sister Liu to help with cooking. The couple also has time to attend to their own things.
Sister Liu was found by my grandmother, and she has been working at home all these years.
In Zhoujiazhuang, Zhou Mingjiao found Zhang Chunhong, who was divorced and living at home.
Once they found a secluded corner where no one was looking, Zhang Chunhong crossed her arms and looked at Zhou Mingjiao with disdain. "What do you want from me? We have no connection whatsoever. What, does the family you're supposed to be related to not like you?"
Zhou Mingjiao's face darkened. Thinking about what she had to do, she took a deep breath and asked, "Zhang Chunhong, do you want to take revenge on Shen Banxia?"
Zhang Chunhong's breath hitched, but she quickly replied nonchalantly, "What did you say? I don't understand."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just tell me if you want to get revenge on Shen Banxia. Now there's a perfect opportunity in front of you. If you miss it, you'll regret it."
Zhang Chunhong gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I won't regret it."
"Fine, if that's the case, then just pretend I never said those things," Zhou Mingjiao turned to leave, counting one, two, three in her mind. Before she even reached three, she shouted, "Stop right there! Explain yourself! What are your plans?"
Zhou Mingjiao said unhurriedly, "Of course it's just what you think. You know, Shen Banxia and I don't get along."
"If that's the case, then why did you come to me? Do you want me to be your scapegoat?" Zhang Chunhong said with a grim expression.
"Zhang Chunhong, you don't actually believe there's such a thing as a free lunch, do you?" Zhou Mingjiao sneered.
"Of course I know that principle, but I also need to know what I'm going to do." Although Zhang Chunhong wanted to get revenge on Shen Banxia, she didn't want to get herself involved.
“It’s very simple. Aren’t the village growing medicinal herbs now? Just find me some herbs.”
"Is it really that simple?" Zhang Chunhong asked in disbelief.
"Otherwise what? Do you think it's that difficult? If I had more time, I wouldn't bother coming to you."
Zhang Chunhong still felt a sense of disbelief, "Why did you come to find me?"
"That's a ridiculous question. Do you think I can't see it? You're jealous of Chen Banxia. Now that you see her so glamorous on TV, you probably want to eat her alive, don't you?" How could Zhou Mingjiao not know? Not to mention Zhang Chunhong, even she herself hates Chen Banxia.
"I didn't," Zhang Chunhong refused to admit.
"Alright, I don't care whether you have it or not. As long as you do what I asked you to do, you will not only get revenge on Shen Banxia, but I will also give you a sum of money after the matter is completed. At that time, you can also buy a house in the county town. It's not a good feeling to be living under someone else's roof, is it? Has your sister-in-law been looking down on you for a long time?" Zhou Mingjiao had inquired about it before coming here.
Zhang Chunhong's face turned ugly. Zhou Mingjiao was right. Because of the divorce and her return to her parents' home, her sister-in-law always felt that she was being taken advantage of and would always speak sarcastically to her mother. Her mother told her to be patient because her sister-in-law was pregnant.
She wouldn't want to stay at home and suffer if she really had nowhere else to go.
Now, Zhou Mingjiao's words gave her a completely different idea, and she was instantly interested.
After the two discussed it, Zhang Chunhong went home.
"Oh dear, big sister, everyone's been so busy at home, and you still know to come back? Tsk tsk tsk, you only came back because it was almost time to eat, didn't you?" Zhang Chunhong's sister-in-law said sarcastically.
"Don't think that just because you're pregnant I can't do anything to you. If you push me too far, I'll make sure that piece of flesh in your belly never comes out," Zhang Chunhong said viciously.
"Ouch, it hurts!" the younger sister-in-law cried, clutching her stomach.
Soon, Zhang Baohua ran out, and his wife hurriedly complained, "Brother Baohua, my stomach hurts so much! My older sister said she's going to make things difficult for me and is going to be mean to the baby in my belly. Waaah, I'm so scared!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," she said, turning to Zhang Chunhong with a fierce look. "Sister, what do you mean by this? My wife is pregnant."
"Young man, why don't you listen to what your wife is saying? Do you think I'm just a freeloader at home?" Zhang Chunhong was also angry.
"Brother Baohua, I didn't."
"Big sister, I think you're just overthinking it. If you're going to treat my wife this rudely, then you shouldn't stay at home anymore," Zhang Baohua said, now that she dotes on her child.
“You, you…” Zhang Chunhong was truly heartbroken. She believed she had never been disloyal to her brother and had always been wholeheartedly for his good. But what was the result?
Once he got a wife, he forgot about his older sister.
Zhang Chunhong made up her mind instantly. Because her father was the village chief, all the medicinal herbs were kept in their house, so it wouldn't be too difficult for her to get the herbs from Zhou Mingjiao.
Zhang Chunhong was the one who collected these things, which made it even easier for her to take them. Since it wasn't a large amount, she could just take out a small amount, and no one would notice.
While Zhang Chunhong was busy, Zhou Mingjiao was being pestered by her mother.
