Chapter 154 They're all pretty lucky.

Sun Guozhu was busy with the procedures for going abroad. The agency fee, visa, medical examination and other expenses, plus the airfare, would cost at least 50,000 yuan. Sun Guozhu's heart was bleeding.

He was busy with the paperwork, unaware that news of his sudden fortune had already spread throughout his neighborhood.

I first heard it from an old lady who collected recyclables.

The old woman was stunned. She no longer cared about the scrap collector who was busy counting the scraps. Her thoughts were racing. She slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "I knew it! Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After being an official for so many years, I knew I couldn't leave nothing behind!"

He didn't care about the scrap metal anymore, quickly sent the scrap collector away, and went back inside to tell his daughter-in-law about it. The news spread like wildfire, and soon everyone in the neighborhood knew that Sun Guozhu had sold his house and was holding a large sum of money.

Shen Jiao has had a miserable life these past few years, living in poverty, and her youthful appearance has faded considerably; she looks much older. Her appearance has aged, and she has also become a fierce and shrewish woman.

Her father died not long after he went inside. Upon hearing of his death, her mother set off firecrackers in the yard. After her older brother divorced, his sister-in-law disappeared, and her brother married a new woman.

After Shen Jiao was released from prison, she had no job and no money. At first, the old woman in the Sun family kept the rice and flour locked in the house. After Shen Jiao tried to break the lock with an axe a few times, the old woman stopped storing rice and flour at home. She would eat one or two pancakes or steamed buns outside every day or go to her daughter's house for meals. In any case, the Sun family stopped cooking altogether.

So Shen Jiao started going back to her own home every day to freeload meals, since her mother was lonely anyway, and she figured she might as well bring some joy to her. Her mother didn't mind, but her sister-in-law next door looked down on her and complained that she was just freeloading. Who did she think she was, this step-sister-in-law?!

The two would get into a fight every now and then.

Shen Dongchuan separated from her parents a long time ago, and later even severed ties with her father. What business is it of yours, her step-sister-in-law, that she eats at her own home? She didn't eat at your house! Calling her "sister-in-law" makes her think she's something special; she's nothing but a piece of trash. From now on, I'll call her a whore!

Her mother isn't even dead yet, and she already thinks her mother's things belong to your family? What a dream! Even if her mother were dead, the house and everything else would still be hers, and it has nothing to do with Shen Dongchuan or you, you whore. Shen Dongchuan has severed ties with the family; what right does he have to claim the house and belongings? She's not afraid of a lawsuit!

Yes, Shen Jiao wasn't just eyeing the Sun family's house and belongings, but also her own. After all, both places belonged to her.

After having dinner at home, she got into another fight with her sister-in-law, wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth, and went back to the Sun family home.

As they turned the corner, they overheard several women talking about Sun Guozhu by the wall, saying things like, "Even a broken boat has some iron," and "Sun Guozhu has made a fortune; he has hundreds of thousands of yuan hidden in his house."

Shen Jiao took off running towards the Sun family.

She stormed into Sun Guozhu's room and ransacked it, but found nothing. Then she rushed into the old woman's room and rummaged through it, even shoving the old woman who tried to stop her to the ground. Old Mrs. Sun was thin and frail, and her legs were weak; Chen Jiao easily pushed her to the ground.

Just then, Sun Guozhu returned carrying a bag.

When Shen Jiao saw the bag behind Sun Guozhu, she immediately rushed up and snatched it.

Would Sun Guozhu grant her wish? Sun Guozhu kicked her, sending Shen Jiao flying. She lay on the ground clutching her stomach, unable to recover for a long time.

Shen Jiao glared fiercely at Sun Guozhu, her eyes filled with venom.

What's in your backpack?

"That's none of your business!"

"I want half! I want half! Then we'll cut all ties, and I'll go with you to get a divorce tomorrow!"

"I only have a few scraps of paper and a few books in my bag. Are you sure you want half of it and then go and divorce me?"

Shen Jiao didn't believe her: "Open it and let me see."

"Why should I show it to you, you bitch! If you dare lay a hand on me again, I'll cripple you!" Sun Guozhu turned and went into the house to help his mother.

Then, Shen Jiao, who was behind him, sinisterly drew a fruit knife from her waist and stabbed Sun Guozhu.

Hearing the noise, Sun Guozhu turned around abruptly and grabbed Shen Jiao's wrist, which she was about to stab. He used all his strength, wishing he could crush her wrist. The fruit knife in Shen Jiao's hand fell to the ground. However, Shen Jiao seemed to feel no pain at all and even smiled strangely. The fruit knife in her other hand had already been plunged into Sun Guozhu's stomach.

Sun Guozhu's face was contorted in pain, his eyes filled with terror. "Bitch, bitch!"

"Why can't you learn your lesson?" Shen Jiao pushed the fruit knife further in. She had scared the mother and son by waving the cleaver around back then.

Sun Guozhu clutched his stomach with one hand, and before he collapsed, he grabbed Shen Jiao's neck hard with the other. He was determined to make this bitch take his place, even if it meant his death.

As Shen Jiao's veins bulged from being choked, she lost consciousness and pulled out a fruit knife, brandishing it repeatedly, intending to stab Sun Guozhu again.

In just a few moments, in the blink of an eye, this turn of events occurred. Grandma Sun was terrified. She rushed over, snatched the fruit knife from Shen Jiao's hand, and stabbed the struggling Shen Jiao. If anyone was to be killed, it would be her; her son's life wasn't worth it.

"Son, let go, let go! It's not worth risking your life!" Grandma Sun told her son to let go while running outside to call for help. She had to get her son to the hospital as soon as possible.

"Murder! Shen Jiao has murdered someone! Please help my son!"

When the neighbors rushed in after being called, they saw Shen Jiao and Sun Guozhu lying in pools of blood.

"This, this can't be moved! Call the police immediately, call an ambulance right away!"

Grandma Sun took out the money she had on her, knelt down before her neighbor, and begged him to hurry up and find an ambulance.

The police and ambulance arrived at almost the same time. By then, Sun Guozhu and Shen Jiao were bleeding profusely and had both passed out.

As soon as the police arrived, Grandma Sun shouted that Shen Jiao was trying to kill her son, that she had killed Shen Jiao, and begged the police and doctors to save her son quickly.

Without having to worry about anything else for the time being, the police followed the ambulance to the hospital.

Grandma Sun kept praying for the Bodhisattva's blessing the whole way.

Both survived after being rescued; they were both very lucky.

Grandma Sun was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. She was happy that her son had survived, but also resentful that Shen Jiao hadn't died.

How could she not be dead? How could this scourge not be dead? I really want to take a knife and give that bitch another stab. After learning that Shen Jiao was also alive, Old Lady Sun gritted her teeth.

She's not dead, but the hospital is asking Grandma Sun to pay Shen Jiao's medical bills.

Grandma Sun naturally refused and wouldn't pay no matter what.

The hospital said they wouldn't treat her if she didn't pay, and Grandma Sun laughed, "Treat me or not, it's up to you."

Finally, the hospital had no choice but to contact the police who were present.

The police said that Grandma Sun had stabbed someone, and if she didn't pay the medical bills, she would definitely be arrested.

Old Lady Sun choked back a sob, "Arrest me! Arrest this old woman right now! Don't punish that slut, throw her out! I'll pay with my life!"

The police officer was exasperated and tried to reason with him, saying, "You injured someone, how can you not pay for their medical expenses? Besides, you're family."

"Who's related to her? She's a jinx, a worthless slut. She hurt my son, shouldn't we ask her for my son's medical expenses? If you make her pay for my son's medical expenses, I'll pay for hers!"

Finally, Shen Jiao's biological mother arrived. Grandma Sun spat at Shen Jiao's biological mother and told the hospital to go to this biological mother for medical expenses, since she was certain that Shen Jiao's biological mother would not pay a single penny.
