When Zhou saw her daughter getting emotional and calling out Arita Daiki's name, she was quite frightened and hurriedly grabbed her hand tightly, saying, "No, don't talk nonsense. No one hit me. I bumped into something myself."

"Mother, how could you have kowtowed like this?" Du Mingxian was genuinely heartbroken. No wonder her mother died less than half a year after her marriage in her previous life; she was probably tortured to death.

Moreover... she married into the same village, but because of the Wu family's messy affairs, she didn't even have time to go back to her parents' home for a single visit.

She deserves to die.

Not wanting to cause trouble, Zhou could only keep reassuring her, "It's really nothing, don't worry, Mother is really fine."

"Mother, if you don't tell me the truth, I'll go ask them right now." Du Mingxian was prepared to go all out; at worst, she would lose her reputation, but killing a few people was still easy.

When Zhou saw that Du Mingxian had let go of her hand and was about to go out and cause trouble, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, saying, "No, don't go, Mingxian, don't go."

Du Mingxian turned around, her eyes fixed on Zhou Shi. "Mother, tell me, what happened? And let me check if there are any other injuries on your body?"

"Don't be impulsive. I've already told you that our house isn't soundproof. Speak softly, or someone might hear you."

Du Mingxian felt a pang of sadness, but still looking at Zhou Shi, tears welling in her eyes, she nodded gently, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhou dared not let go of Du Mingxian's hand, and could only say, "It's my fault for being useless. If I had given you a younger brother or sister, things wouldn't have turned out this way. This is not your father's fault."

Du Youtian did a great job!

"Mom, let go of me, I'm going to pick vegetables."

"No, wait for me. Let me knead the dough, and we'll go together. I'm worried about you going alone."

Seeing Zhou's reaction, Du Mingxian didn't want her to worry, so she nodded gently in agreement and waited.

Zhou let go of Du Mingxian's hand, her eyes fixed on her. Then she quickly kneaded the dough and took her daughter to pick vegetables.

While cooking, Zhou Shi never let Du Mingxian out of her sight. Now that Du Mingxian had calmed down, she knew she couldn't act rashly.

First, if you want to take your mother away, you must get her consent. Also, at this point, without a household registration or travel permit, you will find it very difficult to move an inch.

Furthermore, she currently has no way to settle her mother, so her mother has to wait at the Du family's house. If things escalate today, her mother will be the one to suffer after she leaves.

This matter requires careful consideration.

Because there was meat, I made a stir-fried pork with green beans, scrambled eggs with cucumber, cold eggplant salad, and stir-fried greens. Although there were only four dishes, this was the best hospitality in the village, a very good meal, especially since it was all made with white flour noodles.

Stir these vegetables into the noodles, and they taste quite good.

The portions were large, and everyone got their share. Perhaps it was because Ling Silang was there today, or perhaps because Old Man Du couldn't bear to lose face and had instructed Old Woman Du beforehand, so the food was distributed quite fairly.

After dinner, Zhou went to wash the dishes, and Du Mingxian helped her. They quickly finished washing the dishes, and the two of them went back to their room.

Du Mingxian forced Zhou to take off her clothes to show her her injuries, saying, "Mother, I have some medicine here. I'll apply some to your wounds right now."

"No, this medicine is from the Ling family, isn't it?"

"Mother, I am now the daughter-in-law of the Ling family. What belongs to the Ling family is mine. It's okay if I use it. You don't need to worry."

"No, there's really no injury. You don't need to see it, and you don't need any medicine. Put the medicine away."

Du Mingxian disagreed, and Zhou Shi was unwilling to apply the medicine, so the two were at an impasse.

Du Mingxian threatened, "Mother, if you don't treat my injuries, I'll go find Du Youtian right now and ask him what's going on. If you two can't get along, just get a divorce. I don't care about you."

"Don't talk nonsense. What's wrong with you, kid? Is divorce something you can just talk about? Don't you care about your reputation?"

Upon seeing this, Du Mingxian knew that persuading her mother to divorce would be extremely difficult.

"Mom, let me see your injury so I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I'll still worry about you when I get home."

Having no other choice, Zhou could only gently take off her clothes to show her daughter.

There were several spots on her back and arms, but none on her legs. After Du Mingxian finished looking at her back, Zhou hurriedly put her clothes back on. Actually... the spots on her stomach were the most serious.

Du Mingxian didn't specifically turn to the front to look, but she could guess what her mother was thinking just by looking at her movements.

She used to be an assassin, so she had a lot of medicine on hand. However, she couldn't take out the packaging. If she were to apply medicine to her mother, she could use it directly. But now that her mother didn't want it, she couldn't leave the things behind. She could only come back when she had time.

"Mother, you must take good care of yourself."

"Do not worry."

Du Mingxian pointed to a cabinet on the side, "There are two packs of pastries I bought for you in the cabinet. Keep them for yourself and don't let him find out."

“You’re always causing trouble. We have plenty of food and drink at home, why did you buy these things? You brought them back for your grandparents, why did you secretly put them in the cupboard?”

She didn't even notice when her daughter had put it in the closet for her.

Du Mingxian went ahead, and when Zhou went to the kitchen first, she quietly went into the house and took out what she had taken out of her spatial storage and put it in, just so no one would know.

"Mother, this is something I prepared especially for you. Everything inside is of good quality. Don't give it to anyone else; eat it yourself."

"Take it back."

"mother."

Seeing that her daughter was about to get angry, Zhou could only nod gently, "Alright, alright, Mother will stay, Mother will stay."

"Mother, you must take good care of yourself. If anything happens, send someone to tell me. No one loves your daughter more than you, Mother. If anything happens to you, I will have no one to love me in this world, understand, Mother?"

"Okay, okay." Zhou's eyes were filled with tears as she held her daughter's hand tightly. "Live a good life with Silang at your husband's house and get along well with your family. Don't worry about me, I will take good care of myself."

"Yes, I feel more at ease knowing that you said that, Mother."

The two talked inside the house for a while, then went out to the main room. Dahe Village was far away, so they had to leave early.

As soon as I entered the main room, I heard Du Mingwei and the others chatting and laughing.

“I, Mingwei, am the most blessed. Da Niu, you are the most blessed to marry Mingwei.”

"Yes." Wu Daniu was also very pleased with himself.

When Du Mingwei saw Du Mingxian enter, she first glanced at her with disdain before speaking, "I noticed that Mingxian walks in the same way as before she got married. Could it be that your husband is impotent?"
