At the beginning of April, Shen Mingzhu's TOEFL scores were released.
The scores were excellent, enough for her to apply for an MBA at Cambridge University.
In the following period, all she needed to do was wait for the offer from Cambridge and the visa procedures.
As winter gave way to spring, Shen Baolan's leg injury finally healed, but she was left with a permanent disability, becoming a lame person, and the villagers all called her "Lame Granny."
Compared to when she had just been sold, Shen Baolan had lost much weight, her cheeks sharpened, wearing her blue homespun clothes, she swayed in the breeze like a kite, with only her belly slightly bulging.
She was pregnant.
The Yang family was particularly pleased and treated her much better, switching from one meal a day to two, and even giving her eggs or game to eat every now and then to supplement her nutrition.
But what the Yang family didn't know was that the child in Shen Baolan's belly wasn't actually Yang Fei's.
