The next day, while everyone was finishing their meal, Zhou Mingjiao took out a letter and said, "Sister-in-law, this is from Zhao Zhiqing."
Zhou's mother's radar was immediately triggered: "What message? Why would it be given to your sister-in-law?"
"I don't know. It was Zhao Zhiqing who asked me to give it to my sister-in-law. I don't know anything about it."
Seeing such a blatant and obvious setup, Shen Banxia couldn't help but shake her head inwardly.
However, if I hadn't known in advance, I might have really been in trouble. In this day and age, no matter how big the scandal is outside, in the countryside, if there is any sex scandal, the rumors can kill a person.
Zhou Mingjiao is undeniably vicious.
Zhou's mother questioned sternly, "Shen Banxia, how dare you do this? How can you do this to the eldest brother? Don't you know how he treats you?"
Shen Banxia's eyes turned cold. They really know how to pick their timing, aren't they? They're all looking to make sure Zhou Mingqian isn't around.
Do you really think you're an easy target?
"What have I done to wrong him? What did I do?"
"You're a married woman, yet you're still having an affair with another male educated youth! Our Zhou family can't tolerate a woman like you, you damned slut!" If Zhou's mother hadn't had a last shred of reason, she would have torn her to pieces.
Shen Banxia clapped her hands, "Unclear? Just because Zhou Mingjiao said something casually? Bitch? Isn't she even more despicable?"
"Sister-in-law, I did discuss my studies with Brother Zhao, the educated youth, and I recognize his handwriting."
Zhou's father's face darkened. "Eldest daughter-in-law, did you really do something to betray our eldest son?"
"You guys are really something. You think you can smear me with just a fabricated letter? I really didn't know your Zhou family was such a den of wolves and tigers."
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you—", Zhou's father was interrupted by Zhou's mother before he could finish speaking, "Old man, why are you still calling her eldest daughter-in-law? We can't afford a daughter-in-law like this. When the eldest son comes back, you write out the letter of introduction and let them go get the divorce certificate."
With a thud, the wooden bucket hit the ground. The fish swam out of the water, rolling and struggling. Zhou Mingqian didn't care. He had only heard that sentence as soon as he entered the door. He immediately retorted, "Whoever gets a divorce, I will never get a divorce. Are you taking advantage of my wife while I'm not here?"
Zhou Mingqian immediately stood in front of his wife. If he had known that it was Zhou Mingjiao who made the move today, he would never have gone fishing.
Shen Banxia, who had long since realized that apart from Zhou Mingqian, none of the other members of the Zhou family were good people, was not saddened.
If it weren't for Zaizai, she would have separated from the family long ago.
She gently tugged at Zhou Mingqian's hand reassuringly and whispered, "I'm fine."
Originally, even if Zhou Mingjiao hadn't planned to make a move at this time, she would have already had Zhao Zhigao prepare to come over.
Judging by the time, it should be soon.
Seeing that the grand show she had prepared was about to begin, Shen Banxia cut to the chase, "You have nothing written on that white envelope, how are we supposed to know what's inside? Are you just going to listen to your nonsense?"
Zhou Mingjiao, who already knew the contents of the story, said, "Sister-in-law, I really don't want to see you go astray, so I thought I could persuade you to change your mind with everyone's encouragement."
Shen Banxia sneered, "Don't give me that nonsense. I know what kind of person you are better than anyone else."
“Sister-in-law, since you don’t believe me, I’ll show this letter to Father first.”
"Okay," Shen Banxia said without any objection.
Mr. Zhou took the letter with a livid face, and after reading its contents, the table trembled violently with a loud "thud."
"Shameless."
"Look, sister-in-law, I am you..." Before she could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face by Zhou's father.
Zhou Mingjiao covered her face in disbelief, "Dad, you, you actually hit me? I'm not the one who did anything wrong."
"You still dare to argue with me here? You, I—" Zhou Mingjiao instinctively raised her hand to slap him, but immediately hid behind her mother.
Zhou's mother was completely dumbfounded by this scene. After she came to her senses, she asked, "Old man, what are you doing?"
Mr. Zhou said angrily, "You've raised a good daughter."
Zhou's mother snatched the letter, but although she had received literacy training, she didn't know many words.
"What on this is that made you so angry?" Zhou's mother really didn't understand. Wasn't it about that little bitch Shen Banxia?
"I've lost all face," said Zhou's father, who never imagined that after a lifetime of clarity, he would encounter such a wretched child as Zhou Mingjiao in his old age.
"Mingjiao, look, isn't this about that bitch Shen Banxia?" Zhou's mother handed the letter to Zhou Mingjiao.
Zhou Mingjiao took the letter, read it, and her face turned pale. "No, it's not like that, it's all wrong, it's all wrong, it was clearly..." She stopped abruptly, realizing that she shouldn't have known the contents of the letter.
How could it have turned out like this? Didn't she write that letter herself? Confusion flashed in Zhou Mingjiao's eyes.
"Fourth Brother, go and find Zhao Zhiqing for me, and do it discreetly." Zhou Laosi, who was originally planning to talk about his own affairs, did not expect that his sister had caused such a big problem.
I only knew she disliked her sister-in-law before, but I never expected...
He also figured something out.
Sighing inwardly, I still had to go and call for help.
Zhou Mingjiao immediately came to her senses, "No, we can't go and shout."
Zhou's father's face darkened. "Go there."
Zhou Mingjiao looked at her father pleadingly, "Dad, please, please don't let Fourth Brother go."
Zhou Laosi couldn't help but plead, "Dad, why don't we just let it go? My sister is still young, and she didn't do it on purpose."
“Shut up, it’s all your fault for spoiling him. Look at what he’s done now,” Zhou’s father decided.
Seeing this, Zhou Laosi looked to his elder brother and sister-in-law for help, but they ignored him completely.
Shen Banxia couldn't help but scoff; she wasn't that cheap.
Zhou Laosi had no choice but to look to his mother.
Zhou's mother gradually realized that this letter wasn't addressed to her eldest daughter-in-law, but to her daughter.
But why would the daughter say it was for the eldest son's wife?
“Look, you don’t need to call him anymore, Zhao Zhiqing is already here,” Shen Banxia reminded her.
Zhao Zhigao spoke as he had planned, "Hello, Captain. I came here today specifically to visit you and talk to you about Mingjiao and me. I'm sincere. I think I've passed your test, haven't I?"
Zhou Mingjiao screamed, "You, how did you get here? And, and, there's nothing between us, don't talk nonsense."
Zhao Zhigao smiled and said, "Mingjiao, I know you're embarrassed, but I've thought it through. I can't keep it from your parents anymore; that would be disrespectful to them and to you."
"Aaaaaah, what are you talking about? I have absolutely no relation to you!" Zhou Mingjiao was on the verge of a breakdown.
This was completely different from what she had imagined.
