Who does Zhang Shanni think she is? How could a re little girl flick her wrist and manage to slap Shanni’s face? That’s completely a fantasy.
With a graceful lean back, Shanni’s slender body retreated slightly, causing Lin Aihong to crash straight into the door fra that Shanni had just vacated, with a loud "bang", her entire forehead and nose slamming against it—
"Ah~" Lin Aihong, having smacked the sensitive areas of her forehead and nose, instinctively cried out in pain.
"Honghong~" The mont Lin Xii’s younger daughter wrenched her hand away, she was stunned, only snapping back to reality after her daughter’s sequence of actions.
Hearing her daughter’s scream, she hurried forward to support her child and glared at Zhang Shanni, only to be bewildered upon seeing Li Jianfeng standing in front of Shanni.
"Aunt Lin, what are you trying to do?" Li Jianfeng said coldly: "This guest is an honored visitor I have invited. What chaos are you and your daughter causing here? Enough, don’t speak. I do not welco you here, please leave!"
What a case of being given face yet refusing to face up to it. Clearly, he was restraining himself from speaking out and telling them to leave because they shared the sa courtyard. Yet these two, mother and daughter, still had the audacity to co forward and treat Zhang Shanni this way. Wasn’t this blatantly telling him that Shanni shouldn’t have co to his wife’s and child’s rescue?
If he doesn’t get angry and remain silent, he’s no true man!
"Why, if it weren’t for her, Sister Chen might have—"
"Shut up! If it weren’t for my older sister’s tily rescue, would you rather wait until you sent my beloved flying—one..." Li Jianfeng abruptly stopped talking, realizing that the next few words were too frightening to utter; he was scared.
"Alright, today is a day of celebration. Feng’er, take your big sister to see your daughter-in-law," Zhou Daxiang, having heard Lin Aihong’s remarks and unable to bear it herself, not to ntion her son, imdiately instructed her son to leave with the honored guest.
This kind of reckless troublemaker is utterly impossible to reason with.
Zhang Shanni and Li Jianfeng exchanged glances. After Shanni nodded her head, her gaze then shifted to Lin Aihong. She recalled slightly and knew who she was.
Shanni completely disagreed with her accusation: "Um, comrade, according to what you said, should you even be able to stand here right now?"
Lin Aihong was choked by Zhang Shanni’s words. She then realized that both Brother Li and Aunt Zhou looked at her as if they wished they could skin her alive!
"No, I’m sorry, Honghong is just going crazy. Sister Zhou, you’re busy, I’ll take her back for dication," Lin Xii gritted her teeth and yanked her younger daughter forcefully, giving her a look that wished she could smack her. Being her beloved daughter whom she had raised by her side from a young age, she could only humbly apologize to Zhou Daxiang.
At this point, all she could say was that her younger daughter was being deranged. Otherwise, should she actually admit that her daughter was a fool lacking brains? That statent would be even more vicious than saying deranged.
"Wah wah~ I didn’t do it on purpose. Do you have to bully like this?" Lin Aihong has been under considerable ntal pressure lately. Not only did she notice the odd looks from those around her, but she also occasionally heard the malicious curses at her.
What’s more, despite her family’s good conditions and her attractive appearance, the boy she liked didn’t even spare her a glance. How was she inferior to his ugly, rural wife?
But when she finally found an opportunity and approached his class, he refused to respond to her directly. He even said that he had a responsibility to his wife and wouldn’t divorce her to marry Shanni, advising her to give up on him as soon as possible.
Every ti she found him, his unchanging tone infuriated her to the point of explosion.
"Honghong~~" Lin Xii, seeing her daughter shalessly crying and running away in front of everyone, felt a pang in her heart and wanted to say sothing to salvage her daughter’s reputation, but she suddenly realized that Zhang Shanni had quickly moved close to her.
"Aunt Lin, pardon my bluntness," Zhang Shanni said to Lin Xii with an unusually kind intention, as she watched Lin Aihong run away,
"You’d better spend your ti disciplining your daughter instead of trying to salvage her reputation here. After all, how can her reputation be good when she has entangled herself with a married man?" She deliberately lowered her voice for the last sentence so that only the two of them could hear.
Although Zhang Shanni had said she didn’t want to ddle in the fifth family’s ssy affairs, now that she had encountered it, she couldn’t just ignore it. Considering her husband always valued kinship, she decided to do a good deed and accumulate so blessings for him.
"You, don’t slander !" Lin Xii’s face turned pale and then flushed as she sharply retorted after hearing Zhang Shanni’s words.
"Believe it or not, it’s up to you. That man is probably your daughter’s classmate, and he has both a son and a daughter. If I hadn’t happened upon this, I really wouldn’t bother with your troubles."
Zhang Shanni shrugged indifferently, then without paying further attention to the startled Lin Xii, she followed Li Jianfeng down the corridor into the innermost room.
"Xiufang, look who I’ve brought—" Li Jianfeng led the person into the room, slightly sidestepped to reveal Zhang Shanni behind him.
"Ah—Big Sister! You finally ca!" Chen Xiufang was holding her son, trying to put him to sleep when she heard her husband’s words. She looked up and t a pair of smiling, large almond eyes.
Zhang Shanni’s eyes were big and moist; whenever soone looked into her eyes, a sense of affinity would rise in their hearts.
Moreover, Zhang Shanni had saved the lives of Chen Xiufang and her child. The sight of Zhang Shanni filled her with joy; if it wasn’t for her husband supporting her, she would have rushed to Zhang Shanni right away.
"Sister Chen, don’t rush, I’m here now! Congratulations on the birth of your son. This is a little gift for the child, a modest token, please don’t dislike it." Zhang Shanni watched the sparkling look in Chen Xiufang’s eyes when she saw her, feeling a bit more comfortable in her heart.
After all, people in this era seed more innocent, and even with their calculations, these little sches were far more benign compared to the deadly conflicts of the apocalypse.
With this realization, she felt even happier giving her congratulatory gift, pushing it directly into Sister Chen’s hands.
"Oh no, your presence here is already a blessing for my child. I’ll go entertain the guests, you two have a good chat." Li Jianfeng, seeing his wife’s elated face, nodded apologetically to Zhang Shanni and then left the room.
"Sister Chen, please sit down, don’t tire yourself."
"I’m not tired, I’m genuinely happy to see you again after so long. Co, Big Sister, take a seat here. Co and see, this is the little treasure you saved. His formal na is Li Jize."
"Sister Chen, please don’t say that. I actually didn’t do much. The child should be grateful to you, his biological mother, above all, for it was your bravery that brought him into existence. What rits do I have? If I saw a pregnant woman in danger and did nothing, would I still be human? It’s in your belly that the child grew, and in the end, you gave birth to him with your life. I just maintained the most basic conscience and decency."
