Chapter 93 Joy and Sorrow are Incompatible

The two of them went into the bedroom and took the contents of the safe out again to look at them.

Finally, Wu Peng had access to Yao Fanghua's little treasure chest. He picked up one item and beamed with joy, his mouth never closing. He was much happier than when he looked at the other boxes of stuff. What a little rich girl! She really knows how to hoard things.

Wu Peng sat on the floor and put the items back into the safe one by one. "The safe is too small. Is there anything else hidden there?"

Yao Fanghua laughed angrily, "What else do you want? Isn't this enough for you? If you had more, would you still be worthy of me? I'll spend my whole life surrounded by gold and jewels!"

Wu Peng chuckled, "I was just asking a question out of the blue, why are you making such a fuss? You've already told me everything, I'm just overjoyed."

"Shall we get our marriage certificate tomorrow?"

"I'll go to my workplace tomorrow to get a marriage certificate. After I get the certificate, we'll go for a medical check-up."

Wu Peng smiled and nodded repeatedly, "I have all my documents and materials ready. I am now a resident of Gangcheng, and I have already inquired about the necessary documents and prepared them in advance."

"Is your Hong Kong identity legal? Is it recognized by law?"

"Are you kidding me? Are you discriminating against me again? I am a legitimate Hong Kong citizen. Although I paid for it, it is an absolutely legitimate and genuine Hong Kong identity, and all my documents are real."

Yao Fanghua nodded. Any identity was fine, as long as it was this person and legally recognized. As long as the money and belongings were in her hands, that was all that mattered.

Wu Peng carried all the boxes to the bedroom. With so much stuff in the house, he felt he couldn't sleep without keeping an eye on it.

Yao Fanghua slept on the bed, while he and Lao San slept on the floor. Hmm, there were also five boxes and a safe in a hidden compartment on the floor.

With the lights off, the two talked on and off the bed, occasionally punctuated by a dog's whimper. The third brother's snoring disturbed his conversation with Hua Hua, so Wu Peng kicked the dog awake, and the third brother whimpered and went back to sleep. Later, Wu Peng simply chased it out of the bedroom; finally, the world was quiet, and he didn't need that damn dog's company anymore.

Yao Fanghua: "Aren't you going to ask me where the things came from?"

"Where did it come from? Didn't you say you dug it up from the mountains?"

"You believe it?"

"I believe you, I believe whatever you say."

"Well, anyway, I'm really on a roll. Oh well, when good fortune comes, there's no stopping it. There's nothing wrong with telling you, I'm just worried you might be narrow-minded."

"Tell me about it. Today, I'm feeling incredibly carefree. Forget about boats, the whole earth could sail through my heart."

Yao Fanghua grinned. Indeed, she could sense that Wu Peng was unusually cheerful today. Look at the upturned corners of his mouth, he looked so content, as if his life was about to be fulfilled.

“I dug up a box of gold and a box of jade and emerald jewelry from that courtyard house I bought.”

Wu Peng's half-closed eyes snapped open, and he sat up, his eyes wide. "No wonder you wanted to sell that courtyard later. I was the one who sold it to you! I lost a fortune!!!"

Yao Fanghua chuckled.

Ha, she knew it! What could possibly cross the Earth? Missing out on a treasure, letting it slip through her fingers and end up benefiting someone else—if she were in her shoes, she think she'd be so upset she couldn't eat. If someone took advantage of her like that, please, please don't tell her. So, forget it, forget it, she'd better not tell him that she got the treasure map from Wu Peng. She'd be doing him a favor.

"You're still laughing!"

Seeing Yao Fanghua laughing half-covered by the blanket on the bed, Wu Peng lay back down. What a close call! Luckily, Yao Fanghua was with him; otherwise, he would have missed out on a fortune. To unknowingly miss out on a treasure, handing over wealth to someone else—it's like someone else stumbled upon his incredible bargain! How frustrating! How regrettable! How heartbreaking!

"Get the marriage certificate, get the marriage certificate right away. I can't sleep if I don't get the certificate."

...

Meanwhile, at the Shen family home, Shen Dongchuan was choking Liu Yunyun, trying to kill her. It was one thing for him to know, but quite another for everyone else to know. He rarely returned to this home; he had other women and children outside.

"You just keep hitting him, you're such a coward. You don't even dare to make a loud noise when you hit someone. What, are you afraid your father next door will find out? Afraid he'll punish you if he finds out? Afraid he won't leave you any of his money?" Liu Yunyun couldn't help but sneer, looking at Shen Dongchuan with disdain.

Shen Dongchuan's anger surged, and he unconsciously increased the force in his hands.

"You feel ashamed now? You feel ashamed now that everyone knows? It's your sister who made you ashamed! Look at how promiscuous your sister is, not only does she sleep with other men, but she also tells her lover about your relationship as a joke. Pshaw, which one of you surnamed Shen is any good!"

"Oh, right, you're keeping a whore on the side. Did the woman you slept with in the brothel serve you well? Ha, you even got her to have your child. As expected, a bastard likes a bastard. You can't change the baseness in your bones."

How old are those two little brats again? One's four? And the other was just born last year? Heaven is truly blind; you actually had a son. I wonder if he's even yours.

"You're talking nonsense! She isn't!"

"No? You're hilarious. Everyone knows how many people she, a widow, had to serve to make ends meet, and she only managed to find a sucker like you. You don't mind that, but you look down on me? You don't deserve it!"

"If I die, you'll be the murderer, the first suspect! Go ahead and strangle me, you'll be in jail, and that bitch can go back to her old ways,"

Shen Dongchuan was furious, his face flushed. He vented his anger but didn't dare make a sound, fearing that Shen Gongming next door would come over and pinch Liu Yunyun repeatedly—her neck, chest, and thighs. He searched the house inside and out, but found nothing except a dozen or so yuan in loose change and a little money in her bankbook. Finally, he took off the silver bracelet from Liu Yunyun's arm and left.

Tch, Shen Dongchuan is really desperate for money. He's the poorest person in the entire Shen family. Ha, this silver bracelet is hollow, yet he doesn't seem to mind.

She had no money at all; she relied entirely on Shen Gongming for support. If Shen Gongming refused to give her any, she wouldn't take it either. Both of them understood that they couldn't protect her, and she didn't want to let Shen Dongchuan and that bitch outside benefit from her.

Even Lan Juan, she was holding back Shen Dongchuan and looked down on that prostitute.

Liu Yunyun touched the aching spots on her neck and body, lying motionless on the bed. It was better that things had come to light; it was just a little humiliation, a bit of pointing fingers and scolding, but she wouldn't die or go to jail. She wasn't afraid of anything. If Shen Gongming was dismissed and then took her away with money, then she would keep the child in her womb. If he could really leave with a large sum of money, then Shen Jiao would have done her a favor.

Shen Jiao, whom Liu Yunyun had mentioned, was not at the Sun family's residence at the moment. She didn't dare go back and went directly to the small building where she was meeting Qi Dongming.

Unable to find Shen Jiao or anyone to vent his anger on, Sun Guozhu smashed things all over the house, completely destroying his and Shen Jiao's bedroom.

Sun Baoshan was a mix of joy and anger. He was happy that Qi Dongming was finished, but angry that Qi Dongming had slept with his son and daughter-in-law. But it didn't matter; his son could get a divorce. Most importantly, Qi Dongming was finished. Within seconds, Sun Baoshan was only filled with joy and even started drinking.
