Widow Wang couldn't bear it after all, so she stepped forward and helped Cui Yunzhu to stand up: "Yunzhu, the ground is cold and your body can't stand it, so you'd better get up first. Let Old Man Zhang take a look at you. Take good care of yourself and you will be fine after you marry into the Chen family."

After today's commotion, Cui Yunzhu's body really couldn't hold on any longer. She looked at Widow Wang with gratitude and smiled at her.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang."

"Kid, we are from the same village, why are you thanking me?"

Cui Yunzhu didn't expect that Widow Wang would lend her a helping hand. In the past, she had seen her and Zhou fighting and swearing at each other all the time, and she thought that Widow Wang would be happy to watch the fun from the sidelines.

Widow Wang naturally had no idea what Cui Yunzhu was thinking. She just thought of herself as a widow, who was also slandered and teased by those gossipy women in the village, and was often insulted by the old witch Zhou. She just couldn't bear to see Cui Yunzhu's current situation.

The previous second, Zhou was glaring at Cui Yunli fiercely, as if she wanted to tear her apart and eat her.

The next second, after seeing Widow Wang and Cui Yunzhu together, she was furious and yelled: "Well, I was wondering why you, the unlucky star, are so abnormal today. It turns out that you two had colluded to slander my Yunli. You are still pretending here, wanting others to think that I treat you harshly! You are a conscienceless ungrateful person. When you were born, I should have thrown you into the urine bucket and drowned you, so that you would not be scheming against your own mother now."

"Old Zhang, go back to where you came from! I won't pay for this ungrateful bastard's medical treatment. If he can't live, then don't live!"

Zhou turned around to chase old man Zhang, only to find that he had left long ago without her even seeing his shadow.

Now that's good, she didn't drive the person away, it was Old Man Zhang who ran away on his own. Don't accuse her of being cruel if something happens.

"You all saw it. Old man Zhang ran away by himself. Don't accuse me." Zhou was delighted.

"Bah, Zhou Mei! Your conscience has been eaten by a dog. Your mother should have thrown you into the urine bucket and drowned you. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. I think you are worse than an animal."

Widow Wang spat in Zhou's face, looking down on this disgusting thing.

"Yeah, we shouted so loudly as if no one could hear us. There's nothing wrong with our ears."

"Hahaha, do you think Old Man Zhang knew she was going to curse and slipped away early?"

"Is old man Zhang still afraid of a tigress at such an old age?"

"Is this a tigress? Didn't you hear what Widow Wang said? Even a venomous tiger won't eat its own cubs. It's clear that she has a rotten heart."

"Isn't it? Having such a mother, not only has she tortured her own child for so many years, she even wishes she would die. If it were me, I would get married right away and cut off all ties with my family!"

"Why not call the elders of the Cui family to come and see if they still have any shame. Their own daughter has been tortured to the point that she only has a few years left to live. Who would dare to marry their daughter to them?"

Everyone looked at Widow Wang who emerged and rushed forward. They lost all their restraints and started blaming Zhou, one after another, with disdain in their words.

When Zhou heard that no one was on her side and some even wanted to ask the clan leader for help, she no longer dared to be so arrogant and became timid.

There are many families in the clan who have not married women. If the Cui family really has a bad reputation and no one dares to marry into it, she will be skinned alive by them!

"I'm sorry to bother you all today, and thank you all the aunts and uncles for speaking up for me. It's getting late, and everyone has things to do at home, so I don't dare to delay everyone's time because of my affairs."

The purpose of making such a fuss today was achieved. Not only did she avoid being locked up and beaten by Zhou, but she also made many excuses for herself, making everyone understand her situation and winning their sympathy.

Cui Yunzhu felt it was time to wrap up.

As soon as she said this, everyone felt comfortable.

I thought that she was just here to watch the fun and didn't help much. This girl just spoke nicely. It would be okay for her to lend a hand if Zhou made things difficult for her in the future.

"It's important to take good care of yourself. Your mother can't ask you to work even if you're in this condition. If anyone in the village knew about this, they would drown her with a spit."

After leaving a few words, Widow Wang shook her sleeves at Zhou and followed the crowd.

As he walked, he kept muttering, "Don't be afraid of anything happening. From now on, the girl will come to your room every night to see you and lie on the bedside. You don't have to be afraid of being scared."

Zhou was so angry that she was shaking. She pointed in the direction where Widow Wang left and couldn't utter a word.

When she saw Cui Yunzhu walking towards the gate, she raised her chin proudly and waited for her to come up to her and apologize. Who would have thought that she would walk past her and into the house without even looking at her!

Zhou was about to curse, but she swallowed it back when she saw the people who had not yet left. She thought that Cui Yunzhu had not gotten what she deserved today, and she felt much better in an instant.

Cui Yunli had already shrunk to the side, not daring to make a sound, praying that Zhou would never remember her again.

As Cui Yunzhu walked towards her room, she realized that she had not gained anything from this incident. However, her reputation outside was slightly restored.

Everyone had already begun to suspect something about the Xue family, and word had also spread that the Cui family was mean to them and didn't even care about their own daughter's life.

This means that she occupies a very important position in public opinion.

This is the "magic weapon for success in business" that brat Cui Hao often talks about.

Thinking about how she didn't even dare to say a word in the village before, let alone using the fear of gossip to make Zhou restrain herself a little, she didn't even have a friend.

Cui Yunzhu thought about the past and decided to change!

It was worth it that she stood outside for so long today. The cold wind was biting, and she had wounds on her body, so her body had already been pushed to the limit.

As for what she will be like at home in the future, who knows?

Cui Yunzhu plans to learn from Zhou starting tomorrow, learning how she behaves in one way in public and another way behind closed doors. She just doesn't know if they can bear it.

So what shall we do today?

Of course, eat first and then sleep to nourish your body!

Cui Yunzhu went straight to the kitchen without saying anything. Although she had space now, she would definitely be suspicious if she didn't come out to eat something every day.

As expected, there was not even a trace of smoke coming out of the kitchen, and Cui Yunzhu was not surprised at all.

Cui's father has always been like this. He never wants to cook and thinks cooking is a woman's job. He follows the scholar's philosophy of "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen".

Even when Zhou went back to her parents' home, she had to prepare meals for him before leaving, and she had to prepare enough for several days.

Cui Yunzhu had always wondered if his father would starve himself and Cui Xiang to death if Zhou didn't prepare meals for him.

After turning over and over, she found two eggs. She quickly went to the stove to light a fire, added firewood and cooked them all in one go.

She hadn't made a fire like this for a long time, but after working for so many years, it was just a piece of cake for her and was deeply familiar with it.
