It turns out that everything was Su Qingzhi's conspiracy!

With red eyes, Shen Zhiyu suddenly rolled up his sleeves, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

"Today I'm going to kill you, you vicious woman!"

He roared as he lunged forward, his hands reaching straight for Su Qingzhi's neck.

"Stop!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a man standing outside the courtyard gate, carrying a hoe.

Shen Cunpu is back!

"Second brother, what are you trying to do?"

Shen Cunpu walked in slowly.

"Big...Big Brother?"

Shen Zhiyu, who had been so aggressive, was stunned by the sudden voice. His face turned pale, and he subconsciously shrank back. "Ahem...hehe...I was just playing with my sister-in-law."

As he spoke, he forced a stiff smile.

He dared not look Shen Cunpu in the eye.

He didn't know how long Shen Cunpu had been standing outside the courtyard, nor how much of what Shen had said had he overheard.

If Shen Cunpu found out that I had secretly released snakes...

That's it, this matter is completely over!

Shen Cunpu silently put down the hoe in his hand.

Then, he walked over to Su Qingzhi and looked her over to see if she was injured anywhere. After confirming that she was unharmed, his expression softened slightly.

Then, he turned back coldly to look at Shen Zhiyu.

"You're trying to make a move on your sister-in-law again?"

Shen Cunpu's tone was icy.

"Don't forget, you were bitten by that snake a couple of days ago and almost died. If it weren't for your sister-in-law disregarding past grievances and getting you medical treatment and medicine, you'd probably be lying in your coffin by now!"

"No! She caught that snake herself and put it in my room!"

Shen Zhiyu hurriedly tried to explain, his face turning red with embarrassment.

Su Qingzhi gave a cold smile.

"Second brother, second brother, we all know the truth. Where did that snake come from, and who brought it into whose house? Everyone knows the answer. Since you've done it, stop talking nonsense. You're harming others, and you're harming yourself too!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyu was speechless. His face turned from red to green and then to white. He was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

He glared at the two of them fiercely, gritted his teeth unwillingly, and whispered to Shen Cunpu, "Brother, I...I want to..."

"Are you trying to ask me for money?"

Shen Cunpu interrupted him.

"elder brother……"

"Using money to start a family?"

"I actually..."

Shen Cunpu launched into a series of questions, each one more stern than the last.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his lips parted a few times, but he remained silent in the end.

He had never been afraid of Shen Cunpu in the past, and he didn't even take his sickly older brother seriously.

But now the situation is completely different.

It seems that ever since Su Qingzhi entered the Shen family, everything has been quietly changing.

Shen Cunpu had undergone a complete transformation for some unknown reason.

He was full of energy, like he'd been injected with chicken blood.

His physical recovery changed his entire demeanor.

Shen Zhiyu saw all of this.

This made him afraid to even breathe loudly, lest he be caught by Shen Cunpu and reprimanded.

At this moment, Shen Cunpu stared at him coldly, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"If you want to get married, I won't stop you."

“However,” his tone turned serious, “I don’t object to you trying to start a family. But there’s one thing I must make clear to you: you absolutely cannot ask your sister-in-law for that money.”

He said, word by word, "You know that all the money and household affairs are managed by Mom. That's the rule in our family."

"If you really want the money, then go to your mom and have a serious talk with her. If she agrees, we won't have anything to say."

His tone suddenly became stern.

"But if I find out again that you're causing trouble for your sister-in-law, playing any tricks, or plotting something nefarious, then don't blame me!"

The courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Shen Zhiyu lowered his head, but his eyes couldn't help but drift to Shen Cunpu's hand.

That tightly clenched fist looked particularly hard in the sunlight.

A scene from his childhood suddenly flashed into his mind—.

That year, he was playing around and broke his older brother's favorite pen. As a result, Shen Cunpu punched him to the ground and taught him a lesson: "If you don't listen to reason, I'll beat you until you learn your lesson."

He shuddered, his heart pounding with anxiety.

That deep-seated fear is now even stronger than it was when I was a child!

It surged from the soles of my feet up my spine, as if my whole body had gone limp.

He stood there, his legs wobbling, and he lost his balance.

She sat down on the ground with a thud.

Head bowed, face full of dejection, he didn't even have the strength to argue.

"Be more disciplined from now on."

Shen Cunpu said calmly at the end.

"Don't mess with your sister-in-law all the time. If you dare to have any more funny ideas, don't blame me for being ruthless."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Cunpu grabbed Su Qingzhi, who had been standing silently to the side, and his tone became much gentler.

"Come on, let's go inside."

The two walked through the familiar path in the courtyard.

The wooden door slammed shut behind us with a bang.

Shen Zhiyu sat on the ground, grinding his teeth for a long time before finally slowly standing up.

He angrily flicked the sleeve in his hand, turned around and walked towards his room.

But he had already made up his mind.

"I'm determined to marry Liu Yuelan! If you won't give me money, I'll earn it myself!"

He walked and thought, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Anyway, I'm no longer the Shen Zhiyu you used to be, who could be manipulated at will."

Back in his room, Shen Zhiyu paused, then turned and walked to the corner.
