"If you don't marry him, who else can you marry? Huh? Now you have a reputation for being unable to have children, what decent family would want to marry you?" Zhou's mother was so angry that she was practically on the verge of exploding.
How could she have such a stupid daughter?
Shen Banxia was also speechless. What did Zhou Mingjiao do to deserve becoming the protagonist of the beloved novel? With her bottomless IQ.
Or is it that she really needs everyone to pamper her, to bring her everything and everyone she needs directly to her?
Zhou Mingjiao didn't care about any of that and was still smug. "Now, Zhao Zhigao has decided to break off the engagement with me. Now, you can't force me to marry someone else, can you? Besides, I told you long ago that it wasn't written down at all, but you just didn't believe me."
Shen Banxia could hardly bear to look at him.
Zhou's mother felt dizzy and lightheaded, and couldn't help but curse, "You, you idiot."
Zhou Mingjiao looked aggrieved. Was this what she wanted? She was forced into it by them.
“Mother, if you hadn’t forced me back then, would I have come up with such a plan? Anyway, the words have already been spoken, and Zhao Zhigao is prepared to break off the engagement. There’s no point in you saying anything now.”
Zhou's mother clutched her chest, "What a tragedy! How could I have given birth to such a blockhead like you?"
Zhou Mingjiao didn't care at all.
Shen Banxia shook her head. It is said that those who are favored are fearless. Isn't Zhou Mingjiao a perfect example of this?
She knew that no matter how much she made a fuss, her parents would be the ones to give in in the end.
Thinking back, if Zhao Zhigao hadn't threatened Zhou Mingjiao with those letters last time, Zhou's parents wouldn't have pressured her like that.
After all, nothing else matters more than life, right?
Shen Banxia was too lazy to watch it, since the ending hadn't changed much anyway.
Thinking of the little field mouse that went out to forage for food, Shen Banxia thought of its autumn and winter storage, and then thought of Zhou Mingqian who had been leaving early and returning late recently. She really had become a bit decadent, and all she did all day was watch the show.
"Sister Xia, Sister Xia," Chen Banxia looked at Gou Dan, "What do you want from me?"
"Sister Xia, someone asked me to give this to you. Hehe, she also gave me a piece of candy," a note was handed over, and the other hand showed a White Rabbit milk candy.
"Hehe, Sister Xia, I'll share half with you."
"You little rascal, Sister Xia doesn't want you," Shen Banxia said, patting Gou Dan's little head.
"Hehe, I'm off then, Sister Xia."
Shen Banxia nodded and cautioned, "Don't go to the back mountain alone."
The bouncy little dog waved its paw and said, "Okay, Sister Xia."
Shen Banxia opened the note, which was both unexpected and not entirely unexpected.
Looking at Li Hua, who was carrying manure alone, he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
“You’ve come,” Li Hua said, adjusting his glasses. “Do you know? You and your mother look very alike.”
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Shen Banxia clenched her fists, her heart far from calm.
"Do me a favor, and I'll tell you everything you want to know."
"Li Hua, do you think you still have the right to negotiate?" Shen Banxia didn't want to be led by the nose by her.
Li Hua remained calm and unhurried, slowly watering the vegetable garden with a manure ladle.
“If you want to know about your mother, you can only do as I say,” Li Hua seemed to have a strong sense of confidence.
This is completely different from the shy female educated youth she once was.
"You're wrong, I don't want to know."
"If you didn't want to know, why would you be here?" Li Hua maintained his air of complete control.
"If you want to know the answer, come a little closer." Before the words were even out of their mouth, a series of slaps followed, one, two, three, four, five, six.
"This is the answer."
Li Hua was stunned.
When I came to my senses, my face hurt, and my whole body felt like it was on fire.
Looking at Shen Banxia's wicked smile, Li Hua couldn't help but shiver.
It seems she has offended someone who is not to be trifled with.
Remembering her parents' instructions, Li Hua forced herself to speak, "Shen Banxia, hello, you're very good. It seems you really don't want to know anything about your mother?"
Shen Banxia spread her palms and blew away non-existent dust. "Hasn't the answer already been told to you? Or rather, you didn't feel it very clearly just now."
"You, do you really not care at all about your mother's background? Don't you want to know if she has any relatives left in the world?"
Shen Banxia gave her a cool look and said, "I don't want to."
“You—” Li Hua had never encountered such a troublesome person before.
Damn it, who said Shen Banxia was weak, easily bullied, and easy to coax?
“My mother is your mother’s sister,” Li Hua said, changing her approach.
Shen Banxia laughed and pointed to her head, "Li Hua, is there something wrong with you here? I think you shouldn't be suffering here. You should go to a mental hospital."
"I'm not lying to you, I'm telling the truth."
"Sorry, I don't believe a single punctuation mark of yours."
Li Hua was dumbfounded. Was Shen Banxia out of her mind?
Shouldn't most people be overjoyed to hear news about their mother?
Moreover, doesn't she want to find out about her mother's background?
"See for yourself," Li Hua said, pulling out her trump card.
Above them was a serious, meticulous old woman with her hair tied up, and a young girl who looked eight parts like Shen Banxia, except that the girl's eyes seemed to hold an unyielding sorrow.
Shen Banxia felt a sharp pain in her heart.
That was her mother when she was young; she recognized her at a glance.
But why does she look so sad?
