"You clearly have good medicine that could help my broken leg heal faster, but you held back and wouldn't give it to me until my father came to beg you, and then you gave me just a tiny bit. Shen Yanming, where is your conscience? Has it been eaten by a dog?"

Li Zhaozhao's expression was extremely ferocious, like a demon, as he pointed at Shen Yanming's nose and cursed: "If it weren't for your selfishness, my leg would have been healed long ago! If I had gone out with the group, what would I have done? Wouldn't I have gotten ten or eight space stones?"

Li Zhaozhao's logic shocked everyone present. However, the Li family members wholeheartedly agreed, feeling that Shen Yanming had wronged them.

Ji Kangyong rubbed his hands together, ready to go up and give Li Zhaozhao a good beating. But Qin Yiren held his hand tightly and gently shook her head.

This is the Shen family home; let's leave it to that couple to handle. They shouldn't take over.

Shen Yanming closed his eyes and sighed, "Do you know how many people died in Suzhou this time?"

"Don't you dare mention that to me! Aren't you living a perfectly good life? They deserved to die, but I'm lucky, I'm not afraid!"

Shen Yanming had nothing to say, and pointed to the door: "Go back, and don't come back again!"

Give me a space stone and I'll leave!

"Get lost! Don't make me say it a second time! Li Zhaozhao, you've lost all your dignity, haven't you?"

I thought he'd become more assertive after that farewell. But who knew he'd only gotten worse.

"I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving! Ah, Old Shen, have pity on me and give me a space stone! Your nephew is growing up, and I need to build up his fortune!"

Shen Yanming, unable to bear it any longer, picked him up and threw him outside. But Li Zhaozhao, clinging to the ground, said with a sinister expression, "Don't think I don't know your secret! If you didn't have the supplies, would your two kids have grown up so well?"

"Make me go out and work! I've never seen you and Qiao An work! Shen Yanming, if you don't meet my demands, I'll expose your secrets and let everyone come and rob your house!"

A flash of murderous intent crossed Shen Yanming's eyes, but it quickly vanished. He said lightly, "Whatever!"

After saying that, he threw Li Zhaozhao out the door.

Seeing that the other party was so unforgiving, the Li family dared not cause any trouble and slunk away.

Once the door closed, Shen Yanming returned to his original position, rubbing his forehead, looking exhausted.

Bi Qiaoan got up to massage him, while simultaneously releasing her consciousness to monitor the Li family's movements.

They're being naive. Do they really think they're still as afraid of being known as they used to be?

They're both already on Li Zongmeng's radar; at worst, they'll be imprisoned in the capital and never come out again. It's not like they'll be killed.

Besides, the whole family can live in seclusion. If they stay away from worldly affairs, no one can bother them.

Outside the cave, Li's father scolded Li Zhaozhao in a low voice: "Didn't we agree to come and ask for their help? Why are you threatening them now?"

Li Zhaozhao dismissed it: "Look at him, do you think he'd agree to give us grain? If I didn't threaten him, he would have broken off relations with me!"

"But now, aren't you pushing them to the opposite side?"

"So what? As long as Old Shen doesn't want us to reveal the secret, he has to support our whole family!"

After saying that, he licked his lips and said, "The fruit soup last night was so delicious! I haven't had fruit in years! Wait, Wen Mengguan must have sent some to Old Shen separately. Oh dear, I forgot to ask for it earlier."

"Shall we go back and ask for it?" Xu Yajing's eyes gleamed, her face full of eagerness.

"If you're not afraid of getting beaten up, then go ahead!"

Although Old Li was advising Xu Yajing not to have unrealistic dreams, it would be fine if she were stubborn.

Perhaps Shen Yanming, feeling embarrassed to argue with a woman, would share some fruit with her, so that he could also benefit from it.

But Xu Yajing was the type to avoid trouble and pouted, "It's getting late, let's hurry home and go to sleep!"

Bi Qiaoan's consciousness followed them back to the cave and never returned.

She tried to use her consciousness to pass through the door panel, but instead of penetrating it, she went through the gap.

The situation inside the cave was completely visible. Bi Qiaoan smiled slightly and added something to their water.

When she came to her senses, she realized that Li Wanwan was looking at her awkwardly.

"Brother Yanming, Sister Qiaoan, I'm so sorry! I..."

Zhang Heping held her hand: "Your brother is your brother, and you are you. Over the years, they haven't taken good care of you. When you reach a certain age, it's time to separate the family. The two of us and Xiaodousha are the closest family."

Li Wanwan knew this made sense, but she was afraid that Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan would take their anger out on her. After all, if it weren't for their help over the years, she probably wouldn't have fared well.

Shen Yanming shook his head: "It's alright. You and Heping should live your lives well. Don't worry about the Li family's affairs. Your brother has gone astray, and there's no going back."

Li Wanwan was a little sad, but she wouldn't blame anyone.

That was her brother's choice; she tried to dissuade him, but it was no use. Now, whatever bitter consequences he may face, he has no choice but to bear them himself.

At this moment, Xiaodousha took out two space stones from her pocket and said in a soft voice, "Uncle Yanming, Aunt Qiaoan, please don't blame my mother, she doesn't like Uncle either!"

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan: "..." They both thought that the other had hidden the space stone, but they didn't expect it to be Xiaodousha.

Even Zhang Heping and Li Wanwan were surprised, but after they came to their senses, they gave their darling a kiss.

"Baby, you reacted so quickly!"

Xiaodousha smiled shyly: "My parents said this thing is very expensive, and I was afraid that my uncle and his family would take it, so I hid it."

Little Egg, not wanting to be left out, complained to Shen Yanming: "That family is awful! They often sneak over and steal things when Uncle Heping isn't around. I've seen it several times!"

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan exchanged a glance; neither of them had expected things to be so serious.

Li Wanwan gave a bitter smile: "However, they are my family too, I can't be too heartless. But the important things are hidden in the secret compartment, they can't find them."

Zhang Heping was aware of the situation, so he felt very sorry for his wife. At the same time, he was also very relieved that Li Wanwan hadn't gone astray and was still the kind girl he had known before.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Shen Yanming picked up a space stone and put it in Xiaodousha's hand: "This is a reward from your uncle and aunt. Our Xiaodousha is very brave, great job! This is very important, so be sure to hide it well when you get back, and don't let anyone find it."

After saying that, he noticed that Little Egg looked envious but didn't ask for it, so he put another one in his hand: "Little Egg is a man now, so you have to protect Little Bean Paste from now on. If you encounter any danger, go outside and call for help immediately, don't go in by yourself."

Little Egg nodded solemnly: "Uncle Chen, don't worry. If any bad guys come again, I'll listen at the door and make sure they don't hurt Little Bean and Aunt Wanwan."

Shen Yanming patted his head and praised, "Good boy!"

"Old Shen?" Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong spoke at the same time, expressing their disagreement.
