Liu Yiyi was crying her eyes out beside her, and several villagers were helping to lift Liu's mother onto a cart.

Meanwhile, Deng Jie, who was standing to the side, remained silent, his face frighteningly gloomy, showing no intention of helping at all.

Shen Shi and Song Jiajia exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

"Hey, you two don't know this, do you? I saw it from beginning to end..." Lai Zi, who was very trusting, kindly explained the whole story.

The group of people helped Liu's mother into the car, and then led her towards the clinic.

Throughout the journey, Liu's mother remained defiant, lying in the car and constantly berating Deng Jie, her wailing making everyone present feel sorry for her.

Deng Jie remained silent throughout, only occasionally glancing at Liu's mother with a sinister look.

Upon arriving at the clinic, the doctor examined Liu's mother and found that she was unharmed, suffering only from minor superficial injuries. However, Liu's mother refused to let the matter rest and insisted that Deng Jie compensate her for the medical expenses.

Finally, out of consideration for Liu Yiyi, Deng Jie agreed to give the money to Liu's mother.

The farce has only just subsided.

As soon as the two entered the house after watching the commotion, Song Jiajia exclaimed, "Deng Jie has such a terrible temper! He even dared to lay a hand on Liu Yiyi's mother. That's terrifying!"

"Yeah! That was terrifying. Did it scare Jiajia?" Shen Shi asked affectionately, his arm around Song Jiajia's waist.

Song Jiajia rubbed against his chest and shook her head.

Shen Shi thought about it carefully again and remembered that this had happened in his previous life, but thanks to Shen Shi being the scapegoat, it didn't cause any big fuss.

That was when Liu Yiyi came to find Chen Shi crying, saying that her mother had arranged a divorced marriage for her in exchange for a dowry, and that she would rather jump into the river than marry him.

He coaxed Shen Shi into taking out fifty yuan to settle the matter for her.

I never expected that being caught in the crossfire this time would lead to so many more problems.
