Chapter 41 The Embarrassed Wang Paner
Chapter 41 The Embarrassed Wang Paner
After the Shen family's house burned down, the Shen family had no choice but to move into the old house of the Shen family. Although the old house had been abandoned for a long time, the villagers helped together and repaired it a bit, so it was suitable for living in.
However, because most of the bedding and clothes were burned, it was really inconvenient these days. This time when she came to the town, Wang Sufen gave her all the cloth and cotton coupons in the house, just to make some preparations before winter came.
Shen Anan happened to exchange the bills she had on hand to make up the amount, but it was still too little for a whole family, so she could only think of a way later.
If she didn't get any cloth coupons when she signed in recently, she would probably have to consider going to the black market again.
……
……
When she arrived in the village, Shen Anan did not rush back to the Shen family, but went to the Xia family first.
Xia Chunmei had previously given her a handkerchief embroidered by herself, and also took her to her secret base to pick a lot of mushrooms, so when she went to town today, she also brought a small gift for Xia Chunmei.
Xia Chunmei was very surprised to see Shen Anan: "Anan, why are you here? I was afraid that your family was busy these days, so I didn't dare to look for you. Come in and sit down."
Shen Anan quickly shook her hand: "No, I don't dare go back late now. My mother can go directly to the police station to report the case."
"I happened to be in town today, and when I saw this scarf, I thought it would suit you very well. Chunmei, try it on and see if you like it."
The scarf is made of rayon, with a red base color and a diamond pattern on it. It is surrounded by a beige edge, which looks simple and generous.
Xia Chunmei couldn't let go of the silk scarf that Shen An'an stuffed in her hand. After a moment, she said hesitantly, "An'an, this is too expensive. I can't accept it... I..."
"Aren't we friends? Isn't it normal for friends to give each other gifts? I'm still waiting for you to take me to the secret base to pick mushrooms again!" Shen Anan winked playfully.
"Let's go next time it rains. I know a forest with wood ear mushrooms!"
"That would be great..."
As the two were talking, there was suddenly a burst of shouting and cursing mixed with crying from the yard next door.
The Xia family's yard is next to Wang Paner's house, and the sound just now came from the Wang family's yard.
"Oh, this old lady Wang is really too much!" Xia Chunmei sighed deeply with a bit of sympathy on her face.
"What's going on with the Wang family? It looks like quite a big scene!" Shen Anan asked curiously. She didn't expect that Xia Chunmei's house was right next to the Wang family. It seemed that it would be convenient to inquire about the situation of the heroine's family later.
"It's because Wang Pan'er always gives things to Duan Zhiqing that Mrs. Wang is always unhappy. A few days ago, Wang Pan'er beat Wang Xiaobao for some reason."
"That's like tearing out Wang Po's heart. The next day, Wang Po went to find matchmaker Qian and wanted to marry Wang Pan'er off. She even said that as long as the bride price was high, she would marry her even if she had missing arms and legs."
"Hey, listen to me, is this something a mother would say?"
"Chunmei, how do you know so much about this?" Shen Anan was a little confused.
Xia Chunmei moved closer and whispered, "We have a fight almost every day these days. Our yards are next to each other, so it's hard for us not to know about it."
"Don't you think Mrs. Wang is being too extreme?"
In the original book, Wang Pan'er made a lot of money from the black market after her rebirth. Wang Po always supported her for the sake of the money. Later, after Duan Hongzhe returned to the city with the help of the original owner's family, Wang Pan'er followed him. This did not happen.
With such a family, it is understandable that Wang Paner wanted to change her fate after her rebirth, but she chose the wrong method. If a man is reliable, even a sow can climb a tree.
Xia Chunmei felt like a huge rock was pressing down on her chest. "An An, do you think we girls are just money-losing goods? Have we lived for more than ten years just to get a dowry for our family?"
Shen Anan didn't know what to say. It was because the whole Shen family doted on her. Her situation was different from that of other girls in the village. Now, no matter what she said, she would feel like she was talking without any worries.
Since ancient times, women in China have been in a disadvantaged position. Even though people’s minds have been liberated now, concepts are often the hardest to break. Even in modern times, many women are trapped in the predicament of their original families.
Seeing that Xia Chunmei was getting a little too stubborn, Shen Anan could only advise her: "Don't get carried away. People like Wang Po are still a minority, and this is not the old society. As long as you can stand on your own feet, there will always be a way..."
Before he could finish his words, the door of the Wang family next door suddenly opened, and a slightly plump figure fell out and fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
Shen An took a closer look and saw that this was Qian the matchmaker who had gone to the Shen family to propose marriage to Shen Yuanjia!
"You old witch, get out of here now. Whoever wants to marry the son of the Du family can marry him. I won't marry him anyway!" Wang Pan'er stood at the door with a broom held high, gesturing and cursing.
"If your family doesn't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go. It was your mother who clearly agreed to the marriage, so what right do you have to hit people! For someone like you, you should just be happy that you can get married!" Matchmaker Qian recovered and couldn't help but point at Wang Pan'er and cursed her angrily.
"Get out of here right now! Otherwise I'll beat you up every time I see you! Ah..."
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind Wang Pan'er, grabbed her hair and dragged her backwards. While dragging her, Wang Po pinched her with her hands.
"You money-loser, who gave you the guts? And you even dared to hit someone! I'm telling you, don't even think the Du family's son is a fool. Even if he's dead, you still have to marry him!"
"Ahhhhhhhhh..." Wang Pan'er struggled like crazy. Po Wang didn't catch her for a moment, and she broke free.
"I'll see who dares to force me. If you make me angry, I will take you to death with me!" Wang Pan'er picked up the axe for chopping wood in the yard and held it in front of her, saying viciously.
Granny Wang looked at the axe in front of her and lowered her voice involuntarily, "I... I am your mother, and you must listen to me..."
"You are destined to be poor! I don't care anymore. A shrew like you deserves to be unmarried!"
Qian the matchmaker outside the door swallowed her saliva, got up and said a few harsh words before leaving in shame.
Wang Pan'er felt like all the strength had been drained from her body. Ever since she hit Wang Xiaobao in a fit of rage last time, Mrs. Wang had hated her. Now she actually wanted to marry her off to a fool for a betrothal gift of 500 yuan!
She didn't live her life again just to be sold by Mrs. Wang again!
She also wants to marry Duan Zhiqing and live a good life!
Wang Pan'er was about to put down the axe and go into the house when her eyes suddenly caught sight of Shen An'an and Xia Chunmei standing outside the door, looking at her with sympathy.
Wang Pan'er's mind went blank for a moment, and the extreme shame was about to overwhelm her!
She was in a mess, her hair had just been messed up by Mrs. Wang, and she was holding an axe, looking like a crazy woman. This scene was actually seen by Shen Anan!
Shen Anan, why is she so high and mighty? Why is she held in the palm of the Shen family's hand? Why... do you sympathize with me?!
"Oh!"
Wang Paner suddenly rushed forward and slammed the door shut.
Shen Anan felt a little embarrassed after watching the heroine's drama for some unknown reason, although she didn't mean to do it. She actually agreed with Wang Paner's courage to resist, and Wang Po's behavior was really disgusting.
But it looks like they are standing here just to watch the fun, so they should just go home quickly.
"Chunmei, I'm going back first. I'll come and play with you when I have time!"
"Okay, thank you for the scarf, I really like it!"
In the Wang family yard, Wang Pan'er kept closing the door and did not move for a long time. The cursing words of Mrs. Wang seemed to be in her ears but also seemed to be very far away.
She was trembling, with only one thought in her mind!
She must make sure that Shen Anan will never be so proud again!
