Chapter 41 There is still hope.

Later, children were born one after another.

First Xiuwei, then Zhonghe...

Her heart grew cold little by little.

She began to understand that life isn't something you can create by thinking about it, but something you can endure by persevering.

That's just fate.

Fortunately, Lu Xiuye ​​didn't cause any major trouble that night.

Otherwise, Shen Cuifen would regret it for the rest of her life.

She felt quite upset right now.

When the adults in the family have a falling out, it's the children who get hurt the most.

Therefore, this matter must be dealt with quickly and cannot be delayed any longer.

"Mom, if we weren't a burden to you, you wouldn't be living such a miserable life."

Lu Xiuye ​​held Shen Cuifen's hand and shook her head repeatedly.

Her tears fell again, landing on the back of Shen Cuifen's hand.

Lu Xiuwei was also wiping away tears, and the three of them hugged each other and cried together.

"Mom! Let's go get everyone in the village and call them over. Let those two scoundrels be exposed right here and see where they put their faces!"

Shen Cuifen waved her hand.

“No. There’s a small door at the back of Zhou Wenjuan’s house. If we make a commotion, Lu Weidong can slip away immediately.”

That back door faces the back mountain.

The back mountain is densely forested with many mountain paths, which allowed Lu Weidong to escape without a trace.

With many trees and dense branches, and complex terrain, it's easy to lose sight of someone if you're not careful.

If he wants to hide, no one can find him.

"Then I'll just block the back door completely!"

Lu Xiuwei made the suggestion.

She thought blocking the back door was the easiest solution.

Shen Cuifen shook her head again.

She was worried about doing that; the back door couldn't be blocked.

It would be troublesome if someone came in from there.

“Zhou Wenjuan tied up a wolfhound at the back gate. It was very fierce. It would bite anyone who came near, and it only obeyed her commands.”

Shen Cuifen explained in a low voice.

This wolfhound was Zhou Wenjuan's personal guard dog.

It doesn't usually bark, but it pounces on strangers.

The dog leash was stretched out long enough to protect the area around the back door.

Dogs have a limited range of movement, but they are very quick to react and will react as soon as someone approaches.

As long as she pulls the rope, Lu Weidong will have a chance to escape.

When the dog barks, the people inside the house will know that something is happening outside.

At this moment, a more comprehensive idea popped into Shen Cuifen's mind.

She wanted to catch those two people red-handed.

Once you're sleeping in the same bed, neither of you can shirk your responsibilities, and you'll completely lose face!

"Don't do anything yet, I've already thought of a plan. You'll come with me to Grandma's house tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the two sisters had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Although I don't understand what Shen Cuifen is trying to do.

But knowing she had a plan, I could only follow her instructions for now.

Lu Zhongshun squatted down beside his mother and sister, listening to them talk. He frowned and pondered for a while before quietly turning around and running away.

Not long after, he ran back, clutching two things in his hands.

"Mom! Look what I brought!"

He raised the metal clamp in his hand and shook it.

It's obvious they ran all the way back.

Shen Cuifen was stunned.

What are you going to do with this?

This trap was made by Lu Weidong years ago; he originally intended to use it to catch pheasants in the mountains.

He made several with great enthusiasm at the time, and even said that he would use them to supplement his family's income.

It was never used, and later it was thrown away under the bed in the middle of the road.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhongshun secretly kept it.

Lu Zhongshun directly handed the clip to Lu Xiuye.

"Fourth Sister, put it under the window. When that old bastard crawls out, it'll either crush him to death or leave him crippled!"

He said it through gritted teeth.

Zhou Wenjuan's two daughters' rooms are right next to the front door.

Every time Lu Weidong came, he would climb in through the window.

There are no dogs or guards there, and it's easy to come and go.

How did Lu Zhongshun find out?

Because he witnessed it with his own eyes!

That night, he got up to use the bathroom and happened to see Lu Weidong climb in through the window.

He had kept that scene in his heart, and now he finally had a chance to vent his anger.

Lu Xiuye ​​was so angry that she couldn't speak.

But at that moment, she heard what Lu Zhongshun said, and her emotions changed instantly.

The previously taut cheeks relaxed.

Then he burst out laughing.

"I didn't spoil you for nothing! I thought you were just like your two brothers, heartless and carefree!"

Lu Zhongshun scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and chuckled twice.

"I'm not that kind of person!"

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Cuifen expectantly.

"Mom! I've listened to you this time, haven't I? Can you get me some food later? I'm starving!"

Before Shen Cuifen could respond, Lu Xiuye ​​patted her chest.

"Since you're so clever, I'll make it for you!"

Shen Cuifen felt a pang of sadness as she looked at the young Lu Zhongshun.

That little face still had a touch of childishness, but its eyes were already beginning to try to please adults.

Yes, he's only ten years old, an age when he should be carefree...

She instinctively lumped him together with those two ungrateful bastards.

Although they are all his own sons.

But those two big ones had completely broken her heart.

He's only ten years old, not hopeless yet, he can still be disciplined.

Actually, in his previous life, before he grew up, Lu Zhongshun was quite well-behaved.

Although he was mischievous, he only caused minor trouble and never went too far.

It wasn't until he fell in love with a girl that his whole personality went astray.

After all, he was her own child, and Shen Cuifen still wanted to give it a try.

She didn't want to give up easily, even if there was only a sliver of hope.

While Shen Cuifen was distracted, the three siblings had already pried open the clip and placed it under Zhou Wenjuan's window.

No one usually comes to this place, and Zhou Wenjuan likes to get up early to open the windows for ventilation, so there's a high chance she'll step on it.

This clamp isn't likely to kill anyone.

But if you actually step on it, your foot will be useless for several days, and you won't be able to move it at all.

Lu Zhongshun had just put it down when he suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he had remembered something.

He frowned and thought for a moment.

Then he turned and ran away, disappearing in a flash.

When he returned, he was carrying a small half-bucket of pig manure in his arms, panting heavily.

His face was covered in dust, and his clothes were dirty.

He grinned at the three men and casually dumped all the pig manure next to the clamp.

The smell immediately filled the air, making everyone wrinkle their noses.

Looking at Lu Zhongshun's sly and mischievous appearance, Shen Cuifen found herself quite pleased with him.

Although this child has many mischievous ideas, at least he knows how to stand in the right position.

"Sis! Go back and get me some food!"

After emptying the manure, Lu Zhongshun reached out to pull Lu Xiuye.

He stretched out his hand while grinning.

Lu Xiuye ​​immediately shook off his hand and took a step back.

"Don't touch me!"

As she spoke, she tugged at her sleeve.

As soon as Lu Xiuye ​​finished speaking, Lu Guihua glared at Lu Zhongshun and turned to walk home.

Lu Zhongshun wasn't annoyed and remained standing there with a smile.

Once home, Shen Cuifen, unusually generous, rummaged through the cupboard and took out three eggs, as well as a locker of noodles.
