Chapter 38: The quality of childbirth should be emphasized
As soon as Ran Lijuan finished speaking, someone hit her on the back with a stick!
Ran Lijuan bared her teeth and cursed, "Who is blind?"
"Me!" Zhao Lanxia was using the wooden end of the shovel. Her remaining rationality prevented her from using the other end, although she really wanted to beat the man to death.
"Zhao Lanxia, are you sick? Why did you hit me? I tell you, if you really beat me to the point of making me sick, I won't forgive you!" Ran Lijuan pointed at her nose and cursed angrily.
"I'm going to hit you! You're allowed to talk nonsense here and ruin my daughter-in-law's reputation. This beating just now is to remind you to be more polite. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll just use this shovel to dig your rotten mouth off!"
This was the first time that the villagers had seen Zhao Lanxia behave like this. In their impression, she was a person of honest temper who never got angry when dealing with others.
"To be honest, no one in the Shen family is a good person!" Ran Lijuan yelled in dissatisfaction.
"What you said is correct, but you should add, besides my daughter-in-law!" Zhao Lanxia clenched the shovel with a fierce look on her face.
Ran Lijuan had just failed to gain any advantage from Wang Shufen, and now she was humiliated by Zhao Lanxia. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
"Your daughter-in-law opened a dance hall in the county, which is not a legitimate business. Maybe she is using the reputation of the store to give herself the opportunity to mess around!"
Old Xu was originally planning to persuade his wife not to really fight, but when he heard what Ran Lijuan said, he immediately became furious and raised his hand to push Ran Lijuan hard, "You crazy woman, if you say another word, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"Ouch!" Ran Lijuan fell to the ground in embarrassment. Looking at the aggressive posture of the old Xu couple and their eyes that seemed to want to kill her, she was scared.
Ran Lijuan looked around for her man. When she saw his wife being bullied, why didn't he stand up to protect her?
"Old Song!" Ran Lijuan's voice was mixed with anger and a hint of barely perceptible fear. Old Song was pushed to the front timidly.
When Ran Lijuan saw how cowardly he was, she wished she could die right there!
"Your wife has been beaten! As a man, why don't you show some appreciation?!"
Ran Lijuan yelled angrily, "You! Beat them up! If you don't help me vent my anger today, we will get divorced! I won't live with you anymore!"
Old Xu took the shovel from Zhao Lanxia and stood in front of his wife, "Old Song, your wife is a jerk, are you planning to do something stupid with her?"
Old Song frowned and glared at Ran Lijuan impatiently, "Stop embarrassing yourself here. Come back with me when you've had enough!"
Ran Lijuan was shocked, "What did you say?" She was so scared that she didn't dare to speak just by saying this? How cowardly!
"I don't care about you anymore!" Old Song picked up the farm tools and turned away, not caring about Ran Lijuan who was sitting on the ground.
"Come back here!" Ran Lijuan shouted at the top of her voice for a long time, but the "coward" ignored her.
"Alright, Lijuan, you were wrong in the first place, just apologize to Lanxia and forget about it."
"Yes, your daughter-in-law is shameless, but that doesn't mean she can't be regarded as a representative of other people's daughters-in-law."
"You are not jealous that the daughter-in-law they married is better than the one you married, right?"
"..."
Everyone around was talking, and Ran Lijuan knew that this group of people were just fence-sitters, indecisive.
Wasn't there a lot of discussion just now? Now that they see that the Xu family is "standing up", they put all the blame on her!
Ran Lijuan's face turned blue and white, her hands hanging at her sides were clenched into fists, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Zhao Lanxia! Just because I can't beat you now doesn't mean I won't be able to beat you in the future. My family is prosperous, and my sons and grandchildren will support me in the future! I want to see if your Xu family can still survive in the village in the future!" Ran Lijuan threatened.
"No wonder your daughter-in-law couldn't keep the baby in her belly. You are such a bad person! You have done so much evil." Zhao Lanxia scolded Ran Lijuan without any hesitation, "Tsk, I was wrong. The baby in your daughter-in-law's belly is not yours. Your son is so cowardly even though he was cuckolded. So what if your family is prosperous? You will just have a few more losers in the future!"
Zhao Lanxia then added, "By the way, I have good news for everyone. My daughter-in-law is pregnant. When it comes to having children, it's not the quantity that counts, it's the quality that counts!"
"My son Muchuan became a platoon leader in the army thanks to his military merits. After he retired, the army arranged a 'iron rice bowl' for him. His salary is the highest in our village!"
"Now my daughter-in-law has opened a shop with her own ability. Is Qingli like Shen Fu? Or her poor mother who died as an educated youth?"
When Zhao Lanxia said this, everyone suddenly realized that Shen Qingli and Shen Weiwei were not born of the same mother.
Shen Qingli's mother was a female educated youth from the city. She was beautiful and educated.
Shen Weiwei's mother had a bad reputation when she was young. It's unclear who Shen Weiwei inherited her immorality from!
After hearing this, Ran Lijuan regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
How come such a good daughter-in-law became someone else's? !
"Lanxia, congratulations, you're going to be a grandmother soon!"
"Is Qingli Huai a boy or a girl?"
"I like both boys and girls," Zhao Lanxia said with a smile. "Everyone should come to the wedding later!"
"I will definitely go,"
"..."
Zhao Lanxia glanced at Ran Lijuan lying on the ground and snorted.
Ran Lijuan had no mood or face to continue working in the fields, so she returned home in a huff.
Now she could understand why Wang Shufen fainted from anger!
She felt dizzy.

The second day of the nightclub's opening was indeed the day with the highest customer flow, and Shen Qingli was responsible for "keeping accounts" at the counter.
Around 6 pm, more and more customers came to the store.
Zhao Lanmei was too busy to receive guests by herself, so Shen Qingli thought that she had to hire someone else!
"Qingli, the table over there wants two more bottles of beer! The guests over there want a fruit plate, and the other side wants melon seeds and peanuts." Zhao Lanmei hurried over to the counter and said.
Shen Qingli first recorded the bill for two bottles of beer for Zhao Lanmei. The fruit plate needed to be cut on the spot. Wu Wei went to deliver the melon seeds and peanuts, so she had her hands free to cut the fruit plate.
A few minutes later, the fruit plate was cut and sent over.
The central area of the store is for dancing, and other places have sofas and tables for guests to take a short break.
"Hey? Little sister, sit down and keep your brother company!"
Shen Qingli looked at the man who was obviously drunk, "Comrade, you are drunk! Are you here with friends or by yourself?"
"I'm not drunk. I can drink quite a lot." The man chuckled and said, "Come and sit down!"
