Chapter 113 A Complete Escape

She was willing to risk losing face to fight for her son.

Shen Cuifen raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that it was like a perfect pillow for someone who was sleepy.

She was just wondering how to bring up the matter of splitting the money when Yang Juanhua brought it up herself.

Although the old lady was stubborn, she wasn't stupid; she actually managed to think of this.

However, it's too late no matter how smart you are.

They were just discussing in the main room how to bring up the matter of splitting the money, and they were struggling to find a reason to do so.

Lu Jianguo was always afraid of being accused of being greedy, so he refused to bring it up first.

But Shen Cuifen knew that if she didn't take the money, she would never have another chance.

Well, Yang Juanhua has conveniently brought the conversation right to her doorstep.

A hint of smugness flashed across Shen Cuifen's face.

She glanced at Lu Jianguo without making a sound.

"Okay! Let's split it then!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Juanhua and Lu Jianguo were both stunned.

Both of them opened their eyes wide at the same time, their mouths slightly agape, their faces filled with disbelief.

point?

Did you agree so readily?

This is no small matter!

Even Lu Zhonghe and Lu Zhongping, who were still sleeping in the house, jumped out of bed as soon as they heard the words "split the money".

The two of them almost simultaneously threw off the covers and ran barefoot to the kitchen.

These two brothers usually act like enemies whenever they meet.

But when it comes to money, they immediately put aside their grudges, get dressed, and rush to the kitchen.

The two of them stood together, a rare occurrence, standing side by side behind Lu Jianguo and Yang Juanhua.

Lu Zhonghe moved to the left, and Lu Zhongping moved to the right, just enough to sandwich the old man in the middle.

However, this road seems a bit strange.

Everyone else was standing facing Shen Cuifen.

He kept tilting his head and staring at Lu Jianguo.

There was a faint red mark on his neck, left from the argument last night.

He remembered clearly that his father had almost beaten him to death with a stick last night.

Just because he talked back, Lu Jianguo rushed up and tried to beat him to death.

If Shen Cuifen hadn't stopped him, he probably would have been in the hospital long ago.

In fact, Lu Jianguo was already harboring resentment, but he didn't dare to vent it on Shen Cuifen.

He felt like he was being roasted over a fire.

On one side are his mother and son, and on the other side are his wife and another son.

He couldn't afford to offend anyone, yet everyone was pressuring him.

Now that he sees the kid glaring at him, he raises his hand and slaps him.

"What are you looking at!"

He was filled with suppressed anger.

He pointed at Lu Zhonghe's nose.

"You've gone too far! You dare glare at me like that?"

I almost got killed by this bastard last night, and he still dares to look at me like that today?

If it weren't for the presence of so many people, he would have loved to kick the brat a couple more times and teach it a lesson.

You dare not provoke Shen Cuifen, but you can still be dealt with?

He felt he had finally found a target to vent his anger on.

No matter how capable a wife is, she wouldn't turn against her husband for the sake of this unfilial son, would she?

Besides, it's only natural for a father to beat his son.

"Ouch……!"

Lu Zhonghe let out a scream, clutched his neck, and almost fell to the ground.

The slap landed right on the red mark from last night, and the pain made his vision go black.

"It hurts so much! It hurts so much! I wasn't looking after you! It's all your fault! You made me sleep against the cabinet last night, and I got a stiff neck. I can't even turn my head, and you still hit me!"

Lu Zhonghe covered his head and complained aggrievedly.

Shen Cuifen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Zhongping laughed so hard his shoulders shook.

"Oh my, Zhonghe's neck is really crooked, it looks like a crooked-headed chicken!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Jianguo gritted his teeth and finally put his hand down.

"Why didn't you explain that clearly before?!"

Did you ask me?

Lu Zhonghe retorted, sticking his neck out.

"They've been yelling about splitting the money since they walked in. Who gave me a chance to speak?"

Lu Zhonghe was in so much pain that tears were welling up in his eyes, but now was definitely not the time to argue with Lu Jianguo.

But my head was hurting so badly that I had to stand with my body tilted to one side.

This morning, Shen Cuifen and Lu Jianguo were going to split the money.

This money was the family's savings accumulated over many years, and Lu Zhonghe was afraid that Lu Jianguo would pocket it all in the blink of an eye.

If it all falls into Lu Jianguo's hands, he might just turn around and use it to help Zhou Yangyu!

Lu Zhonghe knew very well that Lu Jianguo had long harbored feelings for her and had provided her with considerable financial assistance over the years, both openly and secretly.

"Alright! Stop bickering like this, father and son. Since we've brought up splitting the money, let's settle the accounts clearly!"

Shen Cuifen slammed her hand on the table, her tone resolute.

Shen Cuifen reached into her pocket.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on her hand.

She slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out a yellowed piece of paper.

Lu Jianguo stared at the paper, his eyelids twitching suddenly.

He was startled, and his fingers involuntarily curled up.

I felt like I recognized this piece of paper, and my heart skipped a beat.

Shen Cuifen deliberately slowed down her movements and flipped the item over to take another look, clearly trying to make everyone anxious.

"Weren't we supposed to be splitting the money? What's with pulling out this old piece of paper?!"

Yang Juanhua was the first to lose her temper, glaring at Shen Cuifen with a face full of impatience.

Shen Cuifen ignored her completely and unfolded the paper directly in front of Lu Jianguo.

“Well, this happened several years ago.”

Shen Cuifen's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

“Back then, the kids couldn’t afford their tuition, so Lu Jianguo and I went back to the Shen family to borrow the money. We wrote an IOU here. Today we’re settling the accounts!”

Lu Jianguo's eyes widened instantly!

He suddenly took half a step back, almost bumping into the bench behind him.

He panicked and looked around frantically, immediately trying to deny it.

"I've never seen this IOU! This...this is fake! Don't try to argue about this, let's divide up the money in the house first, and hurry to town to get the divorce papers done!"

His demeanor made Shen Cuifen feel nauseous.

She stared at Lu Jianguo's guilty expression, and disgust welled up in her eyes.

"You don't admit it? Fine."

She gave a cold laugh.

“Let’s go to the police station right now. The police can tell the difference between the handwriting and the fingerprints just by looking at them. Don’t try to be clever!”

"This matter must be settled today!"

Her gaze swept over everyone in the room.

"From this day forward, we're severing all ties, and neither of us owes the other anything!"

Shen Cuifen's eldest and second eldest brothers exchanged a meaningful glance.

The two clenched their fists and approached Lu Jianguo step by step.

When Lu Jianguo saw this, his heart jumped into his throat.

He had no choice but to raise his hands and wave them to show weakness.

"Wait! Don't do it! I just remembered... that score! But that happened years ago, why bring up old grievances now? Is that really necessary?"

Shen Cuifen rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"It's written in black and white, clearly and distinctly, and it even has your own fingerprint on it. Now you're asking us if it counts?"

Shen Yonglin spoke with a cold face.

"You two borrowed the money together, and you didn't hesitate when you signed the agreement. Now that something's happened, you're trying to renege on the debt by yourself?"

His gaze swept over Lu Jianguo with a sharp, piercing intensity.

"This debt will have to be repaid by both of us!"

"Even if you want to get a divorce now, my Shen family must uphold justice. We can't let people gossip and say that my Shen family is bullying an orphan and a widow. We will never tolerate someone like you who reneges on their debts!"

Shen Yonglin spoke each word with a sharp, penetrating force, striking Lu Jianguo's heart.

"I'll waive my sister's share out of family considerations. But that doesn't mean you can get away with it!"
