After making her plans, Shen Mu Ning put away the house deed and sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate her supernatural abilities. She had been running around all day, and her body wasn't in the best condition. She was quite tired by the end of the day, so it was a good time to cultivate her supernatural abilities to strengthen her body.

The next day, Shen Guoliang and Li Hongmei went to work at the factory, exhausted from not having slept all night, leaving Shen Muling, Shen Lin, and Shen Yu at home.

Shen Yu slept until she naturally woke up and naturally ate the breakfast that had been left to warm in the pot for him. When she saw that it was her older sister Shen Lin, not Shen Mu Ning, who was clearing the dishes, she immediately remembered the unpleasantness of last night and also remembered that she was supposed to give Shen Mu Ning a piece of her mind.

Shen Yu walked to the woodshed, gently pushed the door to make sure it was locked from the inside, and since Shen Mu Ning hadn't come out yet, she banged on the door loudly.

"Shen Mu Ning, you come out here!" Shen Mu Ning knew he was here to cause trouble as soon as she heard Shen Yu's voice. After all, Shen Yu usually ignored her, but last night she had touched his interests, so he naturally couldn't sit still and wanted to deal with her.

Shen Mu Ning abruptly flung open the door, leaving Shen Yu's hand, which had been pounding on the door, without any leverage. Shen Yu nearly stumbled and fell, which only fueled his anger. He recklessly clenched his fist and aimed for Shen Mu Ning's stomach. With Shen Mu Ning's current strength and speed, how could he possibly hit her? She caught Shen Yu's fist with her palm, firmly gripping his hand and preventing his fist from advancing an inch.

Shen Yu tried her best to pull her hand back, but the hand that was being held wouldn't budge. His face turned red from the effort: "Shen Mu Ning, you'd better know what's good for you and let go of me, and go to the countryside quietly, otherwise, if something happens to you, an orphan, no one will know."

Shen Mu Ning was amused by his matter-of-fact attitude. Sure enough, the children raised by Shen Guoliang and Li Hongmei were just as selfish and vicious as them, and they didn't know their own brains. Even in a weak position, they dared to speak wildly.

Shen Mu Ning released her grip and punched Shen Yu in the stomach. Shen Yu let out a short, sharp cry of pain, which attracted Shen Lin, who was in the kitchen. When Shen Lin arrived, she saw Shen Yu clutching her stomach, leaning against the wall in agony.

She knew that Shen Yu had provoked Shen Mu Ning and then been beaten. Not daring to provoke Shen Mu Ning, she quickly helped Shen Yu to the hospital.

Shen Mu Ning stopped her: "No need to take him to the hospital. He'll only be in pain for a while. It's not serious. We have some painkillers at home. Just give him a couple." Shen Lin nodded gratefully and helped Shen Yu back to his bedroom.

Shen Mu Ning certainly wouldn't go too far. Although Shen Yu was selfish and greedy, he had mostly ignored the original owner of this body and hadn't bullied her much. In the matter of causing the original owner's death, he was the most innocent. Teaching him a lesson now was simply to make him stay away from her in the future and not provoke her.

At noon, Shen Guoliang and Li Hongmei returned home to find their son had been beaten by Shen Muning. Li Hongmei immediately wanted to fight her, but Shen Guoliang grabbed her and said, "Hongmei, don't go. Shen Muning wouldn't hit Yu'er so easily. Although she wanted to ask us for money, she didn't confront us directly. It must have been our son who provoked her."

Li Hongmei was pulled back and thought carefully about Shen Guoliang's words. She realized that if Shen Mu Ning wanted to break ties with them, she could have made a big scene instead of resorting to such gentle methods. And frankly, having lived a life of luxury for the past few years, she wasn't nearly as strong as her son; in the past, she would probably have just gotten a beating.

"Dad, do you think we should just give her the money like this?" Li Hongmei was most reluctant to give away a large sum of money.

Shen Guoliang sat down dejectedly: "What else can we do? This money really belongs to her. No matter who she complains to, both of our jobs will be ruined. Now she even directly retaliates against Yu'er for picking a fight with her. If we delay any longer, she might find someone in charge to talk to."

Li Hongmei patted her chest: "I'm just not reconciled to having raised her for so long without getting any benefits in return."

“Think about your current job and this little courtyard. Consider this our compensation for raising her for five years.” Li Hongmei’s expression softened a bit after hearing this.

Shen Muling overheard Shen Guoliang and Li Hongmei's conversation and couldn't help but sneer: "Ha, even at a time like this, they still have the nerve to say they're paying for raising her with their jobs and the courtyard. Five years and four hundred yuan isn't enough to satisfy their appetite? In that case, I'll have to carefully choose a difficult family to sell the house to."
