Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Picking a Fight

“Mom, Mom, look… aren’t these little flowers beautiful? I’m giving them to my beautiful mom… Do you like them, Mom?” With big, sparkling eyes full of joy, Yang Qingwen asked, her chubby little face beaming with a wide smile as she hopped from the ridge into the field, holding a handful of tiny wildflowers in her chubby little hands, white with yellow, small and fuzzy. She presented them to Wang Pandi like a treasure.

Wang Pandi, who was watering the newly planted radishes and mustard greens in the field, looked up and smiled at her adorable daughter dressed in a red jacket and wearing a little bear fleece hat, “Thank you, sweetie, I really like them.”

Wang Pandi took the small wildflowers from Yang Qingwen’s hand and placed them in the nearby bamboo basket, planning to put them in a vase on the window sill once they got home. There weren’t many flowers in winter, and since her daughter had picked them, she might as well use them to add some color and value to their small home.

“Mom, let me help you water,” Yang Qingwen had long been curious about the ladle in Wang Pandi’s hand. Children are naturally curious and want to try everything, and she thought watering looked like fun. Unfortunately, Wang Pandi never allowed her to handle water, especially in winter.

As expected, Wang Pandi paid no heed to her offer, “Thank you, sweetie, but Mom doesn’t need your help here. Be good, go play on the side, Mom will finish soon.”

With that, she picked up the bucket and sped up her watering.

Yang Qingwen pouted with disappointment, then went back to picking wildflowers. Since Mom liked them, she could pick more for her.

Wang Pandi quickly watered the few remaining patches and looked at the sky—it was just the right time to go home and prepare dinner. She found Yang Qingwen, and the mother and daughter happily hurried back home.

“Hey, Sister Pan Di and sweetie are back…” Zhang Hongfang was standing leisurely by the roadside, cracking sunflower seeds with her finger, her face sporting a big smile, but her eyes were unfriendly, “Sister Pan Di, I don’t mean to criticize, but Brother Yang is such a capable director, and yet after marrying him, your family still lacks this little food, why bother suffering to cultivate those three plots of land? Look… you’ve frozen sweetie’s face, tsk tsk, what’s the point…”

Wang Pandi gave her an annoyed look; the land was allocated by the factory, just three plots, perfect for growing some scallions, garlic, and small vegetables. Why shouldn’t she plant them? Unlike her, who was too lazy to do anything and had her man and stepson handle everything.

Besides, sweetie’s face was rosy not from cold but from playing with excitement, and she was dressed warmly.

However, none of this needed saying to her.

“Hongfang, aren’t you going home to cook? The sky is getting dark, hurry home…” Wang Pandi didn’t want to waste words on her and simply grabbed Yang Qingwen intending to leave.

“Hey, don’t leave, I haven’t finished speaking…” Zhang Hongfang was clearly prepared, reaching out to block Wang Pandi.

Wang Pandi frowned impatiently, “What do you want to say? I’m not interested. I’m not like you, with a stepson to command, I have to hurry back to cook, move aside…”

“Hehe… Sister Pan Di is angry…” Zhang Hongfang noticed her displeasure and seemed particularly happy, “Not only do I have a stepson, I have a son, and now I’m about to give birth again. Look at my belly, it’s definitely another son.”

After marrying the divorced Qin Ming, she quickly got pregnant and had a son. Originally spoiled, having a son increased her confidence, and she became even more spoiled, no longer doing housework at home.

“I heard your sister Wang Miaomiao gave birth to twin sons, right? Tsk tsk, look at their fate, you and she share the same mother, why is there such a gap between you?” Zhang Hongfang, gloating, looked at Yang Qingwen with some jealousy, “Just a girl, no matter how well dressed and fed, will eventually belong to someone else…”

“My family’s affairs are not for you to meddle in, mind your own business,” Wang Pandi originally didn’t want to respond to her, but her sarcastic comments about the child lit her fire. The child is her reverse scale, and not having a second child is her concern. Zhang Hongfang hit every sore spot she had.

“Oh, can’t I say it? Did I say anything wrong?” Zhang Hongfang, seeing her anger, became even more reckless. She hated the Wang Family, wishing for them to be downtrodden and inferior.

But, every member of the Wang Family was living well. So far, the only thing she could boast about was that Wang Pandi hadn’t given birth to a son.

At this moment, if she didn’t seize the opportunity to stab her, when would she?

“You’ve been married to Director Yang for so many years without doing anything beneficial, isn’t this holding back Director Yang? He’s in his thirties, right? Tsk tsk…” Zhang Hongfang’s face was full of mockery, her eyes venomous, “Yang Family must be regretting deeply by now. I’m telling you, if you have any decency, step down quickly and let someone else in, otherwise being thrown out will be ugly…”

“Enough, move aside, my family’s affairs don’t need your interference, just take care of yourself.” Wang Pandi was genuinely infuriated, dragging Yang Qingwen to bypass her and walk ahead.

But Zhang Hongfang was gloating, sided her body to block her, who knew there was a small pit behind her, in one sideways step, her foot twisted and she fell backward, sitting down heavily, clutching her belly and crying out, “Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much, my belly…”

“Help, Director Yang’s wife hit me, oh, help, Wang Pandi is killing a pregnant woman…” Zhang Hongfang was already sweating from the pain but didn’t forget to slander Wang Pandi.

“What nonsense, I didn’t hit you, I didn’t even touch you.” Wang Pandi was stunned by her shamelessness.

“There’s only you and me here, if it wasn’t you who pushed me, how could I have fallen down? You can’t deny it, if anything happens to my belly, this is on you. Ouch… it hurts so much…” Zhang Hongfang had already thought about it, this suffering couldn’t be in vain. Even if it’s not her fault, she’ll claim it was. This time, she would definitely pinch a profit from them.

Wang Pandi was anxious as could be, wasn’t she being framed?

Just then, people began arriving one after another, “What’s going on? Hurry and get her to the hospital…”

“I was pushed down by Wang Pandi, she’s trying to hurt me, harm the son in my belly, you snake-hearted woman, you will never have a good end…” Zhang Hongfang felt liquid come out from under her, was she giving birth?

“Quick, quick, save me, I’m going to give birth…” she finally started to panic a bit.

People around had already found a flatbed to carry her; a few women scrambled to lift her into the cart to transport her to the factory’s clinic.

All along the way, she continued to berate Wang Pandi.

The women exchanged glances, some sneaking a look at Wang Pandi standing still there, each harboring their own thoughts.
