The main reason Shen Banxia came to watch the excitement was because the check-in system had been quiet for a while, so she tricked Xu Wenzhu.
Unexpectedly, before she could even say much, the other person had already come looking for Zhou Mingjiao.
However, after listening to the whole story, Shen Banxia realized that Xu Wenzhu was about to go out just now because Zhou Mingjiao had given Su Wenze a pair of shoes.
She even thought that what she said had worked. She had just said it casually. She didn't have time to gossip about Zhou Mingjiao and Su Wenze to Aunt Zhu.
The two continued their standoff, with Zhou Mingjiao firmly stating that she had no other feelings for Su Wenze, but Xu Wenzhu didn't believe a word she said.
The good thing is that, despite their attacks, they didn't actually start fighting.
Shen Banxia couldn't help but yawn as she watched. It was the same old story, the same thing over and over again.
"Tsk tsk tsk, they can't even argue properly, it's really boring to watch."
When Shen Banxia heard the familiar voice, she turned around and saw that it really was Aunt Zhu.
Good heavens, no wonder he's the most well-informed person in Zhoujiazhuang.
Wherever there's gossip, Aunt Zhu is there too.
Also, if you really find it boring, why are you listening so enthusiastically while eating sunflower seeds?
Of course, Shen Banxia was also fortunate enough to get one; she planted quite a few sunflower seeds in her own plot of land.
While cracking sunflower seeds, Aunt Zhu complained, "You think Zhou Mingjiao is treating people like idiots? In our area, when an unmarried woman gives shoes to an unmarried man, isn't the meaning clear enough?"
"It's only because Xu Zhiqing is stupid that she could get caught up in this. It's really true, how could she chase after a man like that? You don't know, men are all like that, they're so shameless. The better you treat them, the less they'll appreciate it," Aunt Zhu said, almost unable to bear watching.
Shen Banxia nodded while cracking sunflower seeds.
The situation had reached a fever pitch, and it looked like a fight was about to break out when Zhou's mother suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking at Xu Wenzhu with disdain. "Hey Xu Wenzhu, how can you be like this? Don't think you're so great just because you're from the city. You can't bully people like this, coming here to insult us. Do you think we're really afraid of you?"
If the old man hadn't warned her not to fight anymore, she would have definitely taught Xu Wenzhu a lesson today.
Xu Wenzhu retorted, "If your daughter hadn't been eyeing someone else's man, would I have come here?"
Zhou's mother was so angry she almost laughed; she was determined to get to the bottom of this today.
"Hey Xu, who is my daughter eyeing? Why are you so disgusted by her?" Zhou's mother couldn't let this educated youth ruin her daughter's reputation; how would she ever get married?
"He's got his eye on my Wenze brother, and he's even going out of his way to give him shoes. Isn't that just asking for trouble? Huh?" Xu Wenzhu shouted angrily.
Zhou's mother's heart skipped a beat. No wonder her daughter said she wanted to learn how to make shoes a while ago, and didn't say anything even when her hands were pricked by needles. It turned out that she wanted to make shoes for other men.
What did my daughter say back then? She wanted to make shoes for herself and her dad.
Zhou's mother was already getting angry, but after all, she was her daughter whom she had spoiled. "Xu Zhiqing, you can't just say things like that. I asked Jiaojiao to deliver those shoes. Su Zhiqing went to great lengths to answer Jiaojiao's questions and such. We country folk know how to be grateful. We may not have anything else to offer, but making a pair of shoes is no problem for us. How come you say such hurtful things?"
Zhou Mingjiao was worried that her mother would let something slip. Indeed, she used the same excuse, otherwise Su Zhiqing would not have accepted it at all.
Looking at Xu Wenzhu with a smug expression, he said, "Don't think everyone is like you. Brother Su has already made things clear, but you're still clinging to him."
Xu Wenzhu couldn't stand this, and roared, "I didn't! You don't understand at all. Uncle Su and the others have already agreed!"
Now it was Zhou Mingjiao's turn to feel a pang of anxiety. She was confident that she could win over Su Zhiqing, but she was actually not confident about Su Zhiqing's family.
Xu Wenzhu's words still left a mark on her heart. Although her father was the brigade leader, the gap between him and Su Zhiqing's family was still too big.
He forced himself to speak, "I have no say in your affairs. I just did what I was supposed to do. The innocent will clear themselves."
"Pah!"
Zhou's mother was displeased. "You, Xu, an educated youth, you're supposed to be from the city, but I think you're the most uncultured one. Even I, an old woman, know that nowadays, free love is valued." Fortunately, the old man liked to read the newspaper at home, so these words came out of his mouth easily.
Xu Wenzhu knew this all too well, but she also knew that Wenze didn't like her yet.
I thought that chasing after him to the countryside would change his attitude, but now, it hasn't softened at all.
For a moment, Xu Wenzhu was confused. If Wenze really liked that bitch Zhou Mingjiao, should she let go or what should she do?
Xu Wenzhu has begun to reflect on her actions, a rare occurrence for her.
Just then, Su Wenze arrived and immediately accused Xu Wenzhu, "What trouble are you causing now? Aren't you embarrassed enough?"
Xu Wenzhu seemed not to hear her, and simply asked, "Brother Wenze, did what I did make you feel ashamed again?"
Su Wenze just kept talking to himself, "Can't you just relax for once? I'm already exhausted and don't want to clean up your messes anymore." Working is tiring enough, but when he heard someone calling him to say that Xu Zhiqing had caused trouble again, he couldn't help but feel exhausted.
Xu Wenzhu lowered her head and said, "I understand," before leaving with her head drooping.
For a moment, Su Wenze was stunned because he didn't hear her rebuttal, but he quickly lost interest and apologized to Zhou Mingjiao and her daughter.
Zhou Mingjiao magnanimously said that she had nothing to do with it, but she felt uncomfortable inside. Didn't Brother Su say that he had nothing to do with Xu Wenzhu?
Why is it always Xu Wenzhu who apologizes after she gets into trouble?
She always felt that something was wrong with this feeling.
Shen Banxia shook her head as she watched, and Aunt Zhu next to her chimed in, "This Su Zhiqing is really muddleheaded. If he doesn't like her, he shouldn't give her hope. He's acting like she's his girlfriend, handling things for her and even apologizing. How can she forget him like this? It's just a sin."
Shen Banxia couldn't help but nod. "Yeah, isn't this a scumbag?"
Don't say it was asked by someone's parents; this isn't something Xu Wenzhu can't handle.
Shen Banxia increasingly felt that love was something she shouldn't get involved in, and that it was better to be alone, with no one interfering.
Soon, Shen Banxia stopped paying attention to the love and hate between the three of them. The check-in system beeped, and hearing about the good stuff, her eyes lit up.
"Auntie, take your time looking at it. I have something to do back home."
