Chapter 638: Chapter 639 Sister Like Mother 56_1

Could it be that someone is really looking to start a new Chapter in their life? But in the original host’s memories, there was no such affair.

If there had been any signs, the villagers would have been abuzz long ago; it’s impossible that there would have been no whispers at all.

Huang Man was certain she hadn’t misread the situation, Zhao Mei truly appeared to be smitten.

Could it be that Zhao Mei’s man wasn’t from this village but from another?

That would make sense, as it would keep the villagers from knowing and prevent any rumors from spreading.

Huang Xin had even made a pact with Zhao Mei, stipulating that if she remarried and brought money into it, or spent the money on another man, her passbook would go to Huang Xin.

Now, Zhao Mei, with her mind and eyes solely on money, surely wouldn’t make such a mistake unless she found a man as good to her as Huang Zhiqiang.

But are such men easy to find? In the nearby villages, there was only one Huang Zhiqiang, no one else.

It wasn’t until Huang Man had finished bathing and stepped out of the bathroom that she remembered something: if Huang Xin and Huang Li Na really had decided to tread an unsavory path, and Zhao Mei used this as a pretext to remarry and take the money with her, it might actually allow her to complete her mission successfully.

What Huang Man was contemplating now was whether to expose this affair early to set the three of them against each other.

But after considering it, she decided to let it be; why should women make things difficult for other women?

Zhao Mei, also carrying her change of clothes to the bathroom, saw Huang Man and remembered something, "By the way, have your high school exam results come out yet?"

"They’ll be out soon, what about it?" Huang Man didn’t think Zhao Mei was just asking casually, there had to be something up.

She hadn’t thought to ask about the results when she came back for the winter break, why would she care about the college entrance exam now?

"A friend from the old days, his child also took the college entrance exam, and he told me you did very well at No. 1 High School."

Zhao Mei knew that Huang Man’s grades were good, but for a countryside kid, no matter how good their grades, could they compare with city kids?

Yet unexpectedly, the truth was a slap in the face; Huang Man’s grades were indeed very good, and Zhao Mei thought of what the other person had mentioned and was actually somewhat tempted.

She thought it was just a matter of lending a hand, and with Huang Man’s grades being so good, she would surely be willing to help.

In that moment, Huang Man could feel the full weight of Zhao Mei’s calculating intentions, "An old friend, huh? I thought it was a former lover of yours."

"So concerned about my college entrance exam, more than my own mother would be. Is it because he also has a daughter who, just like me, is taking the exam this year?"

"Just thinking of getting hold of my admission letter?" Stealing a college entrance examination admission letter at this time and changing someone’s fate was quite a common occurrence.

Zhao Mei truly hadn’t expected that just by asking Huang Man whether the college entrance exam results were out, she would get so much in response.

What frightened her even more was, "No, no, no, we are just ordinary friends."

Zhao Mei’s pupils had dramatically constricted and her expression was one of panic—Huang Man noticed all of it.

She was speechless; was today really the day to teach the Huang family a lesson?

"You’re a woman, he’s a man. You claim it’s innocent, but who knows if you’ve both already rolled around in bed together."

Again satisfied with Zhao Mei’s trembling reaction, she reached out to touch her face and gently patted it, "You really are bold."

"Not only thinking of taking your man’s compensation with you, regardless of what Huang Xin and the others think."

"But you also want to take my admission letter?"

"Go back and tell your man not to set his sights on me, or else he shouldn’t think I won’t lose my temper."

"Otherwise, get ready to eat free meals behind bars."

Huang Man’s actions became increasingly exaggerated, "If Huang Xin finds out about this, what do you think will happen?"

"And if outsiders find out that you not only cursed your man to death but also landed your second man in jail to eat free meals, how do you think they will talk about you?"

"That’s true, you usually don’t hold back from talking about others, now when the same words are used to describe you, how does it feel?"

"Thinking about it, you really are a jinx, whoever marries you is doomed to have no good luck."

"If they’re not dead, they’re locked up for re-education."

"I, I didn’t do anything," Zhao Mei’s legs went weak, and she could say nothing but that.

"Back then, for the sake of Huang Xin and the others, you schemed against me, treated me poorly, and now, for your lover outside and his child, you actually dare pull such a stunt."

"Really, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll actually think I’m easy to bully."

Huang Man glanced around, "Right, the yard is overgrown with weeds, go pull them all out, making sure to remove them roots and all."

"Don’t even think about leaving. It doesn’t matter, even though I don’t know who your man outside is, as long as we confirm you have someone on the side, everyone will help to find out."

"I think Huang Xin would be the most enthusiastic about this matter." With just a word in front of Huang Xin, there will surely be volunteers.

Weeding, cleaning up all the weeds in the yard before Huang Man gets up, of course, Zhao Mei was not pleased.

"You can choose not to do it. Otherwise, I don’t know whether I can stop myself from speaking out."

"After all, you’ve been so calculating against me, if I don’t fight back, won’t people think I’m just a pushover?"

"Really, both of you are such a headache," Huang Man said in a displeased tone, "Are you going to do it or not?"

Zhao Mei felt so wronged, but she was helpless. Right now, she really couldn’t afford to let things get exposed, so reluctantly, she went to weed.

Poor her, she hadn’t picked up a hoe to do such work in many years. She was completely out of practice, either hitting her foot or failing to dig out the roots.

She just wanted to casually dig out the grass that caught her eye and call it done.

But she didn’t dare. In case her work failed Huang Man’s inspection, she would have to redo it under the sun, and her skin would surely get darker.

Thinking of her skin, which was already not very fair, if she continued to torment it like this, what difference would there be between her and the village women outside?

Zhao Mei cursed in her heart as she continued to weed. Huang Lina, who found watching television rather boring, decided to go to bed.

After all, shopping everyday was really exhausting, and more importantly, while there were plenty of beautiful clothes, she had no money to buy them and could only look.

The feeling of just window-shopping without buying was truly uncomfortable. At this moment, Huang Lina was thinking that once she had money, she wanted to buy pretty clothes, sparkling jewelry, and designer bags.

Then she would absolutely outshine Huang Man, making her seem like a mere maid. After all, Huang Man used to just be a country girl; how had she changed so much now?

Huang Lina, feeling unhappy, prepared to take a bath when she suddenly discovered Zhao Mei weeding in the yard. "Why are you weeding?"

It was unbelievable, she had never seen her do any work before, yet there she was, working, and at night no less.

"That’s because you don’t weed." Zhao Mei replied irritably, would she be toiling so hard now if this person would just do some work?

So, it was her responsibility again? "You do nothing but laze around at home all day. If you don’t work, who will?"

Huang Lina retorted sharply and then huffily went to take her bath.

Inside the house, Huang Xin shivered, sighing that all three people in the house were more than he could handle, sigh.
