Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Boasting Backfired

"Nothing much." Shen Jianhua didn’t look too good, and he wasn’t in the mood to talk, so he bypassed the Zhang Family daughter-in-law and went home.

The Zhang Family daughter-in-law became even more curious and grabbed hold of Shen Mianmian, who was also planning to leave.

"Mianmian, tell your aunt, what happened?"

"Maybe Siyu didn’t get the Most Improved Award, so she’s not very happy!" Shen Mianmian shrugged, showing her helplessness.

"Siyu didn’t get the Most Improved Award?" The Zhang Family daughter-in-law seemed to have heard major news. She gripped Shen Mianmian tighter, afraid she would leave before finishing her story, "How could that be? Wasn’t it said that the award was Siyu’s? How did that slip away?"

That day, Zhou Lanfang said it so surely at home, she thought it was something already notified by the school, so how did it change?

Shen Mianmian blinked, "Boasting backfired."

The Zhang Family daughter-in-law: "..."

So the Most Improved Award wasn’t settled after all, it was Zhou Lanfang who got happy too soon!

She felt very vindicated. That day, Zhou Lanfang was so smug that she could hardly stand it, and now she had shot herself in the foot. If word got out, people would laugh to death!

The Zhang Family daughter-in-law’s mouth curved into a scornful smile, and she casually asked, "So who got the award then?"

"Me."

"What?"

"I got it."

"You got it?"

"Mhm." Shen Mianmian nodded, speaking in a calm tone, "I got it."

The Zhang Family daughter-in-law: "..."

She suspected there was something wrong with her ears. Shen Mianmian got it? How could that be possible?

Whenever Shen Mianmian’s test scores came out, Zhou Lanfang would parade around the village with the report card, proclaiming how Shen Mianmian had come in last place again—everyone in the village knew!

But just now, Shen Mianmian said that she got the Most Improved Award; who would believe that!

Shen Mianmian saw her expression and took out three yuan from her pocket, "Auntie, I’m not just saying this; I have the money right here in my hand."

"Did you really get it?" With the money right there, the Zhang Family daughter-in-law had to believe it, "Mianmian, well done! Your mom says you’re not good at studies, that’s all nonsense, right?"

How could she have gotten the award with poor grades?

To be honest, she was quite happy it was Shen Mianmian who got it, as she just couldn’t stand seeing Zhou Lanfang’s self-satisfaction.

Her niece hadn’t even gotten into college yet, and Zhou Lanfang was already so arrogant—if her niece did get in, it would be unbearable.

Shen Mianmian’s eyes flashed, as she feigned helplessness and sighed, "It would have been better to give it to Siyu. Look, I got it and not a single person at home is happy about it."

Before Shen Mianmian mentioned it, the Zhang Family daughter-in-law hadn’t noticed, but with the reminder, it seemed true enough.

This Zhou Lanfang, her favoritism was way too blatant.

She always thought Shen Mianmian was much better behaved than Zhou Siyu, always quiet and not running from house to house, with less scheming.

"Mianmian, don’t be sad if your mom’s head is muddled; just study hard, and you might do better than Siyu in the future."

"Mhm." Shen Mianmian nodded, "Auntie, I should head back now."

Only then did the Zhang Family daughter-in-law notice that she was still holding onto Shen Mianmian’s arm. She let go with a sheepish smile, "Then you go on back!"

As soon as Shen Mianmian left, the Zhang Family daughter-in-law couldn’t wait to get back home and spread the news.

When Shen Mianmian got home, Shen Jianhua and Zhou Lanfang were in the middle of an argument, and Zhou Siyu was wailing like there was no tomorrow in the room.

The two were arguing fiercely; Shen Jianhua broke a stool and finally quieted down the tantrum-throwing Zhou Lanfang.
