When Zhou Mingjiao got home, she hugged her mother and cried, "Waaah, Mom, my sister-in-law bullied me! You have to stand up for me! I tried to warn her out of kindness, but instead of being grateful, she scolded me."
"Well, she's really gone too far! Does she really think she's something special just because she's a barefoot doctor? Humph, when your father comes back, tell him to get Chen Banxia out of there. Does she really think she's indispensable? If it weren't for your older brother's incompetence, my Zhou family would have long since given up on having a daughter-in-law like her who's both weak and lazy," Zhou's mother said with deep resentment.
"That's right, that's right. She's supposed to be an educated youth, yet she has no basic manners," Zhou Mingjiao thought Shen Banxia was truly hateful.
"Mother, tell me, how can we separate my eldest brother from her?" Zhou Mingjiao really hated Shen Banxia.
She felt that her status at home was declining after Shen Banxia became pregnant.
It wasn't like this at all before.
"Ugh, your older brother's stubbornness got the better of that bitch Shen Banxia. Otherwise, you'd see how I dealt with her," Zhou's mother said through gritted teeth.
It's said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are naturally incompatible, and she and Shen Banxia are definitely not a good match.
But that slippery one, not only was protected by the boss, but she herself was also prone to fainting if she made even the slightest noise. After several attempts by others to persuade her, she simply couldn't bear the embarrassment and gave up.
Now, instead of causing trouble for Shen Banxia, she's causing trouble for my daughter.
At this moment, Zhou's mother also considered sending Chen Banxia away.
In the past, someone as disrespectful to her mother-in-law as her would have been divorced long ago.
"Mother, you should think of a way!" Zhou Mingjiao felt that Shen Banxia seemed to know who she liked.
"How about we wait until she gives birth?" Zhou's mother finally considered this point.
"Mom, do you think it's possible that the baby in your belly isn't my older brother's child? After all, the doctor said so back then."
"Bullshit! If Shen Banxia dares, I'll tear her apart alive!" Zhou's mother couldn't stand it.
"I was just making a hypothesis," Zhou Mingjiao quickly added.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We'll discuss it when your father gets back," Zhou's mother said, already having an idea in mind.
Shen Banxia was busy writing medical records, unaware of the schemes being plotted at home.
After Zhou Mingqian returned from gathering herbs, he said, "Madam Zhou is here. I plan to perform surgery on her in a while."
"So fast?"
"Yes, they went to the capital, so it seems they've made it confirmed."
"My wife is amazing! Did the little guy bother you today?"
"No, he's being very good." He hasn't had morning sickness since he started experiencing it at the beginning, but he hasn't vomited since he gained merit points.
"That's good, otherwise I'll deal with him when he gets out," Zhou Mingqian said, feigning a threat.
The couple were very affectionate, and when they got home, their uncle and aunt were also there.
"Banxia is good; she's promising," Uncle Zhou praised.
"good".
Uncle Zhou was clearly taken aback and paused for a moment before quickly responding, "Are you sure you can handle it?"
"No one can guarantee that."
Uncle Zhou seemed a little dissatisfied, but things were indeed as his niece-in-law had described.
Aunt Zhou said directly, "Banxia, you must treat him well. If it weren't for your old leader, your uncle would be dead by now."
"Why are you saying all that?" Uncle Zhou originally wanted his niece-in-law to do more, but after all, no one can say for sure.
He didn't want to put his niece-in-law in a difficult position.
"I still stand by what I said: as long as they are my patients, I will do my best." In her past life, although others said she was greedy and heartless, no one ever denied that she was not conscientious in her work.
"Banxia is a good one," Uncle Zhou praised.
Seeing Shen Banxia being praised by everyone, Zhou Mingjiao felt extremely uncomfortable, as this should have been hers.
“Sister-in-law, you’ve only trained them for such a short time. Aren’t you afraid of ruining their health? What if they blame Uncle and the others?” Zhou Mingjiao brought up the same old topic again.
"I'm the one who should be worried, aren't I?"
"Sister-in-law, I was just reminding you. We're family after all, and it wouldn't be good if you were held responsible," Zhou Mingjiao said, still not believing that Shen Banxia was a good doctor.
In her opinion, it was just a coincidence that Gou Dan's fever subsided so quickly; it was just a lucky coincidence.
"Thank you very much, but I can handle it myself, okay?"
"Stop being sarcastic, I was just trying to be nice," Zhou Mingjiao cried again.
Shen Banxia has a headache, oh, the tap!
"Eldest daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you being a little more accommodating? Isn't your sister doing this for your own good?" Zhou's mother said with heartache.
“Yes, Mingqian’s wife, as the eldest sister-in-law, you should be tolerant of your younger siblings, shouldn’t you? This is the most basic manners of being a person,” Aunt Zhou added.
Shen Banxia laughed angrily, "Ha, do you think I don't know whether you're being kind or not? I'm just afraid that if something goes wrong, you'll all be implicated. I'll put it out there today: I, Shen Banxia, will take full responsibility for my actions. Of course, don't bother thanking me."
Shen Banxia neither takes advantage of others nor lets others take advantage of her.
So what if she's the perfect older sister-in-law in a two-dimensional novel? She's a living, breathing person with flesh and blood and feelings. She's not going to follow the path of a script.
"You, you, old man, look at her, is this how a daughter-in-law should act? Zhou Mingqian, are you out of your mind?"
"Bang!" A fist slammed on the table. "Mother, I think you really think I'm dead. You've all ganged up on my wife. What did she do to you? Yes, I used to slack off at work and didn't get enough work points, but Mother, isn't what I gave you enough to feed my wife and me?" Zhou Mingqian's eyes were bloodshot.
Zhou's mother couldn't help but take two steps back. "Eldest son, are you... are you blaming me?"
"I wouldn't dare. I just feel sorry for my wife. What did she do to make you scold her in front of the whole family? Didn't I tell you before that if you have any problems, you can come to me? I'm your own daughter. You can hit me or scold me as you please, just don't bother my wife. Didn't you promise me that?"
Ever since he started processing herbs to sell, his mother had given him a share, and his father knew about it. But what about now?
"And you, Zhou Mingjiao, you're the troublemaker of the whole family. You're only free if you cause some trouble every day, aren't you? Huh? Did my wife dig up your ancestral graves?"
For a moment, Shen Banxia wanted to laugh. Was this how someone could be so ruthless that they hurt themselves too?
However, seeing how wholeheartedly he protected her, Shen Banxia felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey, and sat there peacefully, not wanting to affect the man's performance.
The Zhou family was dumbfounded.
Uncle Zhou had no idea how things had gotten to this point. Why was his nephew so angry?
A hint of guilt flashed in Zhou's mother's eyes.
