"You damn girl, you’ve learned to threaten people now, have you?" Zhou Lanfang cursed with hands on her hips, "Doing a bit of work and earning that little money, you think you’re something special now, huh?"
Though she said that, she didn’t lift the quilt again.
It was good that she hadn’t been fired, four yuan wasn’t much, but it was enough for several pounds of meat a month.
If she didn’t let the little bastard work, the bastard would have more time to study, and that wouldn’t do.
The little bastard not eating dinner was just fine for her, she could stir-fry that half piece of cured meat.
Zhou Lanfang huffed and walked out with her hips swaying, but Zhou Siyu kept staring at Shen Mianmian without moving. Her sharp eyes caught a strangulation mark on Shen Mianmian’s neck.
She was certain, these marks hadn’t been there last night.
Shen Mianmian had been missing all morning, her voice was hoarse, and now she was injured, all these thoughts suddenly excited her.
Could it be... Xu Haiyang had succeeded?
"Sister, what happened to your neck?"
Zhou Siyu couldn’t wait to verify.
She wanted to know if Shen Mianmian had really been ruined by Xu Haiyang. If that were true, Haiyang would surely cling to Mianmian and wouldn’t give her peace, and then who would care about studying?
Perhaps, before this term was over, she would show a bulging belly.
During the New Year’s visit home, she had heard about something. Xiaohuan, from the house next to hers and only fifteen, had a growing belly. At first, her family thought she had just gotten fat and didn’t take it seriously. By the time they realized something was wrong, the baby was already nine months along and about to be born.
Shen Mianmian was sixteen this year, a whole year older than Xiaohuan.
"You don’t know?" Shen Mianmian, who had just been ready to sleep, opened her eyes again to look at Zhou Siyu, "I thought you knew."
"Sister, why are you talking so weirdly today?" Zhou Siyu asked sheepishly.
Could it be that Shen Mianmian knew something?
That wasn’t very likely, was it?
She didn’t have the power of foresight, and Xu Haiyang wouldn’t be so foolish as to tell her about it, right?
Could it be... the shock was too much for her, and she had a mental breakdown?
Looking at her darting eyes and how her hand kept unconsciously clutching at her clothes, Shen Mianmian let out a cold laugh internally, "Is there?" The source of thɪs content is 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
She utterly hated Shen Mianmian for acting , as if she were teasing an idiot.
Since she couldn’t draw out any words from her, she might as well ask directly, "Sister, did something happen to you?"
"Indeed, something did happen, but it turned out alright," Shen Mianmian hinted, "Siyu, be careful these days. I’ve heard someone is looking to trouble you, saying you didn’t handle something well they asked you to do."
Zhou Siyu’s face went pale, and her eyes filled with panic, "What are you talking about? Who’s looking to trouble me? I haven’t offended anyone, have I?"
Despite her words, her hands were tightly clenching her clothes, obviously very anxious.
Shen Mianmian noticed her subtle movements and a swift hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, she had indeed intended to scare Zhou Siyu.
The fact that Xu Haiyang had been caught was something no one else knew. This could scare Zhou Siyu for a good few days at least.
"I’m just kindly reminding you, believe it or not, it’s up to you."
Shen Mianmian turned her body to face the wall and settled down to sleep properly.
Zhou Siyu stood by the bed for several minutes, utterly panicked inside. She had no appetite even for the meat at night and tossed and turned without sleep, waking up the next day with panda eyes.
Shen Mianmian, understanding everything yet revealing nothing, finished breakfast in good spirits and went to the Lu Family with Xiaocui.
The medicine she bought yesterday was very effective; her throat wasn’t hurting anymore.
