CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 094 BYPASS, LIFT THE FOOT AND GO [333 VOTES+]

——————

"Zhang Shanni!"

Zhang Shanni looked at the village girl blocking her path; the moment she appeared abruptly, Zhang Shanni instantly knew from the original host’s memory—it was Zhang Baonni.

The original host’s second older sister.

"..." Hmph, Zhang Shanni simply couldn’t be bothered with her and walked straight past, lifting her foot to leave.

For such irrelevant trash, she has always been too lazy to even give a facial expression.

"Zhang Shanni, what kind of attitude is this!" It was the first time Zhang Baonni had been ignored like this; she felt so nauseated inside, immediately turned around, grabbed her arm, and yelled angrily.

There was no one else on the narrow path.

The day after her husband left was Zhang Shanni’s first day going to help weed at the Xie Family’s Field.

However, she was blocked in the afternoon just after leaving home in the morning.

Disgusting creature, just because she sees I am without a man to protect me! Hmph, I alone can destroy you! When Zhang Shanni passed by her second older sister, her mind was active with simple thoughts, like just by twisting her neck, she could knock her out!

Luckily, there were no outsiders around because Mr. Xie and Zhou Xiuhua had paired up and gone home first. Seeing the hefty task, Zhang Shanni decided to stay and continue working.

Perhaps, the original host’s body was still not bad, and she had secretly been enhancing her physical fitness. Although she had worked all morning, she didn’t feel very tired and had a nap after going back at noon. She resumed work when the sun was less fierce after 3 PM.

The weather at the end of September meant that even at seven in the evening, it was still slightly light out.

Her originally great mood soured upon seeing Zhang Baonni, who approached her like she smelled blood.

Her mood was off, why should she let others be pleased? But actually killing her would be too troublesome! Just because this wretched woman is the original host’s second older sister, this identity alone could tie her to suspicion.

"Sigh~~" A gust of wind came, scattering Zhang Shanni’s careful thoughts. Seeing the other still being unreasonable in her presence, she immediately retorted coldly—

"Tch, this is my attitude, and what are you even supposed to be?" Zhang Shanni dodged the spit flying towards her, slightly lifted her chin, looked Zhang Baonni up and down with a scornful expression on her face.

"You, vile woman! You think marrying someone means you can escape from your birth family? I’ll stand in for our mother, and properly teach you a lesson, let you understand the hierarchy!" As Zhang Baonni spoke, her fleshy arms swung directly and aimed for Zhang Shanni’s discernibly more attractive, delicate features due to the slight tan.

To her, how Zhang Shanni looked, as her own elder sister, how could Zhang Baonni not know!

It was precisely because she did know, that she felt even more jealous and angry—

Moreover, in the Zhang family, she had always been honored, whereas the little sister opposite her was always considered the most humble little servant in the family!

It wasn’t surprising that Zhang Baonni thought this way; after all, she had always believed this from childhood, a belief instilled by their mother Lin Zhaodi over the years to them, the first three siblings.

Who is Zhang Shanni? She is a woman who returned from the apocalypse, noticing her intention, she just raised her hand, blocking the elbow of the hand that was trying to slap her face, and without any courtesy, swung her hand back in a full slap!

Her life’s creed: An eye for an eye!

In her previous life, she had no choice but to submit as circumstances overpowered her, biting her teeth in acceptance.

Now, to back down? No way.

"Slap" echoed suddenly between them.

"Ah~" Zhang Baonni covered her left face in pain, the stinging sensation instantly transmitted to her brain, making her instinctively cry out in pain, one hand immediately covering the injury, a reaction sparked by the pain.

"Who are you calling a slut? Who do you think you are to lecture me? This is just a little lesson for you, dare to provoke me again, and I won’t be as polite as I am now!"

Shanni simply slapped back with the usual force, yet Baoni’s face was already swollen, turning red and purple with five distinct fingerprints appearing.

"Hisss, you slut, I, I won’t let you go!"

Baoni, seeing the fierce look in Shanni’s eyes, no longer dared to rush forward mindlessly to slap her—previously, the original character was hesitant to openly resist because they were family and she was the younger sister.

The main reason was the original character’s hopeful expectations of parental affection, hence she felt kinship towards her siblings, but unfortunately, her family always sided with Baoni, never standing up for her fairness, making the original character even more timid.

Shanni completely despised the original character’s disposition.

But you can’t blame the poor girl, can you? In a small backwater village, could you really expect her to have mature thoughts? Especially in today’s times which are still so backwards, there isn’t even a single household in Qingfeng Village that owns a television!

Remote, isolated, and backwards—the villagers’ ideologies are indeed conservative and old-fashioned.

"..." Shanni twitched her mouth, looking at the silly country girl in front of her. Clearly, the other party had not picked up on the implications in her words yet still dared to provoke her?

Shanni couldn’t be bothered to waste words, only hearing her words, silently moved forward and elbowed her forcefully—knocking her off the dirt path and then swiftly leaving.

Can’t kill her, staying here is just pointless, ugh, so annoying!

"Ah—" Baoni screamed in pain: anyone hit by an elbow to the chest and falling straight to the ground would cry out in pain!

Shanni glanced at the figures appearing out of the corner of her eye and sneered, not looking back as she walked away.

"Ah ah ah~~ It hurts, it’s killing me!" Baoni, abandoning all image, rubbed her chest while screaming, even sitting down on the dirt road, dirtying her trousers without care!

Baoni was only a little over a year older than Shanni, at the age of nineteen right now, her body had grown quite a bit, but still occasionally experienced pain from development, especially a few days before her monthly cycle, her chest would always hurt for a couple of days.

This horrible timing, just the day before her period is due, her chest was stiff and throbbing with pain; Shanni’s elbow, as forceful as an adult man’s, made it hurt so much she wanted to rip open her clothes to see if it was bruised! She couldn’t care less about the pain on her face, just tearfully rubbing her chest.

Seeing Shanni’s figure moving further ahead until almost out of sight, Baoni’s face contorted with anger!

This damned slut, thinks after getting married her maternal family can’t control her anymore?! Just wait! If she doesn’t make her mom stir up trouble at her in-laws, then she won’t carry the Zhang surname anymore!

At that moment, Baoni had forgotten that she had sought out Shanni for the issue of those two handfuls of items given to her as a "dowry!"

Feeling the throbbing in her chest and seeing the women who came out due to her screams, she didn’t care anymore, hurriedly stood up, completely embarrassed, and returned to the Youth League cadre in Shanglin Village.

What Baoni didn’t know was that because she was elbowed by Shanni, and when she went back and got intimate with her Youth League husband that night, it led to another scene—her scholarly husband backhandedly slapped her hard, symmetricalizing both sides of her face.

This caused a huge scandal within the Youth League, and she didn’t dare show her face or cause trouble for a whole week.

Shanni, uninterested in dealing with her original family’s relatives, after returning home and seeing her in-laws were not yet back, went straight to her room to wash her face, changed out of her work clothes, and headed straight to the kitchen to cook.

Without a strong labor force in the family, she and her father-in-law had been working all day, while her elder brother-in-law only came to water the plants in the morning and afternoon before leaving without having a few words with their parents, or even barely acknowledging her, his new sister-in-law, with a nod as if merely exchanging greetings.

That mournful look on his face made Shanni really speechless. His mother-in-law’s failing health caused him more grief than his own mother, his sorrowful appearance, to anyone who saw, was displeasing—let alone how twisted it would make her in-laws feel!

Realizing this, Shanni simply couldn’t be bothered with this confused elder brother-in-law anymore, and buried herself in her work.

Tsk tsk, seems like big sister-in-law’s mother is really failing.

Shanni noted how much thinner her brother-in-law had become, with sunken eyes, and silently made a judgment about the displeased expression on her in-laws’ faces, which she also found difficult to comfort.

In contrast to Shanni’s speechlessness upon seeing Jingwei, her husband was just as speechless back at home.
