The two Luo brothers were forced off the ship and were very unwilling. They yelled at Sheng Jingheng, "Nephew, come and buy us tickets!"

Shengjing Heng didn't even turn his head, and took Pearl up to the second-floor cabin.

Pearl frowned slightly. "They actually followed us."

Sheng Jingheng wiped her hands, "Ignore them, they're a bunch of parasites."

Pearl felt sorry for him, "I never imagined you had such a hard childhood."

She had such a strange relative when she was a child, who only cared about money and not about people.

Therefore, she understood Sheng Jingheng's feelings.

Shengjing Heng didn't feel bitter.

"Actually, I was quite happy when I was a child."

While their parents were alive, they loved them dearly; after their passing, the Sheng family continued to love them. Life was still very happy.

Except for the moment his parents died, when he felt lost, helpless, and desperate.

But Mrs. Sheng stayed with him through it all.

Even Mr. Sheng would take him out to play after get off work to distract him.

Grandma Sheng always took him with her when she went to banquets.

She might complain, but she actually loves him quite a bit.

If other elderly people said he was a jinx to his parents, Old Mrs. Sheng would argue back, saying that they were being old-fashioned.

Although she was afraid, she never said she wanted to drive him away.

So, apart from the time when his parents passed away, Sheng Jingheng's childhood was still quite happy.

As for the Luo family...

He really hated the Luo family who would come to extort money from him every now and then.

In particular, Granny Luo actually took advantage of Mrs. Sheng's absence to go to the school to pick him up and take him back to the village so that she could negotiate with Mrs. Sheng for money.

At that time, Granny Luo told the teacher that she was Grandma Shengjing Heng.

The teacher didn't suspect anything and put it in.

When Sheng Jingheng saw her arrive, he ran away to find the security guard.

Fortunately, the security guard was from the compound and knew about his family's situation, so he immediately notified Grandma Sheng to come and rescue him.

Grandma Sheng arrived carrying a stick.

They started fighting as soon as they arrived.

"You child trafficker, extortionist, old thief, you dare to steal my child!"

They were yelling and hitting each other, and they even yelled at the teacher.

Pointing at Granny Luo, he said to the teacher, "How dare you mistake such an ugly old woman for my grandson's grandmother?"

"If you admit your mistake again next time, see how I teach you a lesson!"

The teacher was also terrified.

He repeatedly promised that he would not make the same mistake again.

Pearl laughed when she heard this, "Our grandma is so capable!"

Are you going to start fighting right away?

Sheng Jingheng laughed, "Absolutely. Her fighting power is top-notch."

She wasn't there just now, otherwise there would definitely have been a fight.

However, with all the guests present, it wouldn't be appropriate to make a ruckus.

But from now on, let her do the beatings in places where no one is around.

Pearl chuckled, "You could say you've turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise."

It is a blessing to have such a wonderful family as the Sheng family.

Unlike her.

She and her brother have only ever encountered bad people since they were little.

In particular, her brother has been influenced by other relatives' children and has started gambling like other boys.

The family was already in debt, and his gambling only made things worse.

They lost so much that they had nowhere to even settle down.

Especially when I saw my younger sister beaten up at a relative's house, her face bruised and swollen, and the relative even tried to argue that my sister had fallen down on her own.

After that, her brother cheered up and started working hard to earn money.

Unfortunately, fate was unkind, and her brother died from overwork.

She didn't even get to see him one last time.

Sheng Jingheng hugged him, "I hope my brother-in-law can be reborn into a better family in his next life."

Pearl wiped away her tears. "Actually, he left me a will, and there was a thousand yuan inside, which he said was for my dowry. He also told me not to cry, saying that he was relieved."

In the past, Pearl might not have recovered.

Now she is stronger inside and can understand that her brother may have truly been liberated when he closed his eyes.

I hope he can be born into a happy family in his next life.

Sheng Jingheng kissed her forehead, "This trip is to clear your head and let go of all the bad feelings from the past. I hope we can both start afresh when we come back."

Pearl nodded and embraced him.

The Luo brothers watched the ship sail away, cursing angrily.

"What is that?!"

If they weren't short of money, what would be so great about a dilapidated ship?

Back when the Luo family was wealthy, they traveled on large ships and ate a lot of good food.

Now that they're broke, even a ticket seller looks down on them, which makes them furious.

"This Sheng Jingheng, don't think you can get away with it just because you ran away."

"Yes. We must ask the Sheng family for money."

The two brothers went back to find Granny Luo and the others.

Granny Luo reluctantly hailed a taxi and followed Sheng Yueqing and the others the whole way.

As it turned out, Sheng Yueqing seemed to have discovered something and first went to wander around the place where the children were playing.

Then I went to the mall for a stroll.

Let's go wander around to other places.

They didn't return to the factory until the fuel was almost gone.

The Luo family members sat in the car and told the driver to hurry up and catch up.

The driver, seeing their tattered clothes, seemed a bit unsure of their situation. "Are you sure you have the money to pay the fare?"

Don't be unable to produce it later.

Granny Luo slapped the chair, "Don't look down on people, hurry up and chase after them."

At worst, we can make Sheng Yueqing pay.

The driver refused to leave, saying, "Pay first, then I'll chase after them."

Otherwise, he won't get the money and will lose a fortune.

Having no other choice, Granny Luo could only take out five yuan, saying, "Pay five yuan first, and I'll pay the rest when we get there."

If we hadn't taken such a long detour, we wouldn't have needed to spend this much money.

Granny Luo felt a pang of regret, but she had no choice but to give it to her.

The driver took the money, assuming they had the funds to pay the rest, and continued chasing after them.
