When Zhou's mother came into the house after the argument, she saw the eggshells on the floor and her heart sank.
When I returned from the chicken coop, I exclaimed, "You wretched Zhou Mingqian, you've stolen my eggs again!"
Shen Banxia looked at Zhou Mingqian and said, "Look, your dear mother is calling you. Go now."
Seeing Shen Banxia's smiling face, Zhou Mingqian resigned himself to his fate and went out.
He used the same old excuse: "Mom, didn't you promise to give my wife an egg every day?"
Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Mingqian with a sullen expression, "Eldest son, do you think I'm stupid? Can't you even count?"
"Hehe, Mom, isn't it because my body is weak and I need to take some supplements?"
"You bastard, I didn't even get to eat any eggs, and you, you spendthrift, have squandered them all!"
Seeing that his mother looked like she was about to search the house, he asked, "Mom, do you think I'll leave anything behind?"
"A dog's belly can't hold two ounces of oil."
Zhou Mingqian, seemingly unfazed, said, "Mom, we've already finished eating. Should I check to see if there's anything left?"
"Get lost! Can you be any more slovenly?" Zhou's mother really didn't want to talk to this brat anymore.
Zhou Mingqian didn't care about his mother's disdain.
Just as the mother and son were joking around, a familiar voice came from outside.
Shen Banxia, who was originally inside the house, immediately found a perfect spot.
Well, it turns out it's my uncle and aunt, followed by Zhou Mingjiao.
It really happened in the blink of an eye.
Zhou's mother, who had initially calmed down, suddenly started to argue, and even stopped calling her sister-in-law "Sun Xiulan," saying, "Did you come here specifically to see me make a fool of myself?"
Sun Xiulan felt utterly wronged. When she arrived at the train station, no matter how she explained, the train wouldn't listen. She hadn't gotten a letter of introduction herself, so she couldn't leave at all.
After she hurriedly went back and got the letter of introduction, her old man also returned.
After learning what had happened, the elderly couple immediately started arguing.
In the end, he was still worried about his brotherhood, so he rushed back immediately.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry," Zhou Qiancheng said, bowing slightly.
Zhou's mother had no objection to her brother-in-law, saying, "Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you."
As for Sun Xiulan, he didn't even want to look at her again.
Uncle Zhou smiled wryly, "Sister-in-law, this is really your sister-in-law's fault."
Zhou's mother didn't want to talk anymore. She said, "Should we just pretend we didn't hear it and let it go like that?" But that was impossible.
“Brother, every time we come to the city to visit you, we bring the best things from home, and we’ve never asked you for any help. This time, we thought that since Jiaojiao is all grown up and you know more people than we do, we thought we’d help introduce her to someone. But we never expected this…”
Mr. Zhou was also feeling bad. Had he really made the wrong choice back then?
"It turns out that in Sun Xiulan's mind, we were all poor relatives who were just trying to freeload off her. Even the matchmakers pretended to talk about free love, saying things like, 'If you don't want to introduce someone, then don't introduce them. Don't say those things to annoy people.'"
Looking at the old man's increasingly dark face, and remembering the harsh words he had spoken when he arrived, Sun Xiulan felt as if she were being unjustly killed.
She doesn't want to be laughed at when she's old.
“Sister-in-law, I admit you’re taking advantage of me, but I don’t agree with the matchmaker’s excuses. You know I treat your Mingjiao like my own daughter.”
"Oh wow, it seems there's more to this than meets the eye," Shen Banxia muttered, rubbing her hands together furtively.
"Mother, please don't blame Aunt. I begged her to say that."
Zhou's mother felt like she was hallucinating. "What, what did you say?"
"Mother, I don't want to marry into the provincial capital. It's too far away. I don't want to leave you," Zhou Mingjiao said with a look of deep emotion and reluctance.
Seeing her mother-in-law's softening attitude, Shen Banxia couldn't help but purse her lips. Only her mother-in-law would believe such words.
But did Zhou Mingjiao just reject her true love like that?
So, can they still be an enviable couple?
If not, then having the script in one's hands becomes somewhat of a waste.
Perhaps sensing Shen Banxia's thoughts, the script came with its own repair and adjustment function.
Shen Banxia was completely bewildered. What did it mean to have built-in repair and adjustment capabilities?
However, Shen Banxia was not in a hurry and focused on letting things take their natural course.
After all, the most important thing, the baby, has already made a good start.
The next patient also got off to a good start.
Speaking of this, Shen Banxia was filled with anger. After saving Su Yu by a twist of fate, she was eagerly waiting to save the next person.
Who would have thought that the damned script on the screen would suddenly display a text message: the first patient can be randomly selected, but from the second patient onwards, a specific patient must be chosen, otherwise the merit points will be invalid.
That's absolutely outrageous! He opened the door for something so outrageous!
Otherwise, Shen Banxia wouldn't have directly said that the person was sick in the state-run restaurant. Wouldn't that have been asking Qing to get beaten up?
She was planning to ask someone for a favor.
As her thoughts returned, although Zhou's mother showed signs of softening, she still lost face in front of her sister-in-law.
"Mingjiao, if you really don't want to, your father and I won't force you. We're not unreasonable."
After saying that, he looked at Sun Xiulan.
Sun Xiulan smiled awkwardly; her sister-in-law was really petty.
She never expected that the conversation would turn to the topic of poor relatives freeloading.
She wouldn't have come if the old man hadn't threatened to divorce her if she didn't apologize.
He also harbored a hidden resentment towards Zhou Mingjiao.
However, considering that she was his niece whom he had doted on for many years, he didn't say anything more.
