With the village chief as a witness, this "Letter of Severance of Relationships" truly became effective.

Everyone smiled genuinely and joined in the applause.

Everyone felt that it was truly remarkable that Shen Zhihuan was able to escape from such awful family members.

Fang Qiaolan was stunned by how things had turned out and collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears.

"Why would I sign a 'severance agreement'? Isn't that asking for my life?"

Seeing her crying so miserably, some people initially thought she was reluctant to part with Shen Zhihuan.

But upon closer listening, it became clear that what she was actually reluctant to part with was the money.

"Damn it! My family doesn't have that much money! We're barely making ends meet! Why should we have to give the bride price to Shen Zhihuan?"

"Our Ling'er is getting married soon, so we can't dress her too poorly. What if her in-laws look down on her?"

Mentioning this incident only made the older women even angrier.

"You still have the nerve to cry? Isn't Shen Ling's marriage a blatant case of kidnapping her?"

Shen Ling's face paled slightly as she retorted vehemently.

"How is this considered kidnapping? The Gu family didn't specifically name Shen Zhihuan as their bride."

"Chuan and I are truly in love, and it should be the two of us who get married."

Sister Liu rolled her eyes at her.

"Everyone knows that Huan'er should have been the one to be paired with Gu Yuchuan."

"Who knew that you, as the elder sister, would be so greedy for the Gu family's good conditions that you had evil intentions and forcibly took away this marriage."

The older women got angrier and angrier as they talked, saying that this marriage should have been Shen Zhihuan's.

It's all the fault of Shen Yongcai and Fang Qiaolan, that couple. They're not very bright and are so biased, bullying their youngest daughter to death.

Fang Qiaolan knew she was guilty and couldn't argue with them.

She simply stopped arguing and insisted that her family had no money.

If she continues to act so shamelessly, there's really nothing anyone can do about it.

Just as the older women were having some headaches, Shen Zhihuan weakly offered a reminder from the side.

"When the police and I went into the house to look for medicine, we clearly found a lot of money hidden under their pillows."

"I just want what I deserve, what's not enough?"

The moment the money was mentioned, the expressions of Shen Yongcai, Fang Qiaolan, and Shen Ling all changed simultaneously.

As if they were frightened, they changed their arrogant and domineering attitude from before and shut their mouths without daring to utter a sound.

The village chief, who was watching the scene from the sidelines, was also frightened and his face turned extremely ugly. He glared at Shen Yongcai and the others with a sinister look in his eyes.

Those two idiots, they didn't even know how to hide the money we gave them.

If they get involved, let's see how he deals with them!

Shen Yongcai knew the seriousness of the matter and dared not speak recklessly.

Losing a few hundred dollars is a small matter; if they accidentally say something and someone finds out, they're finished.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his previous stingy demeanor completely gone, becoming strangely generous.

"Okay, it's just a little money. I'll agree to it. I'll give you whatever amount you want."

Fearing that others might become suspicious, Shen Yongcai added another sentence after finishing his statement, seemingly trying to cover up the truth.

“I, Shen Yongcai, have only two daughters in my entire life, and I am not biased towards any of them.”

Sister Liu sneered at him: "Since you're so fair, why don't you grab Shen Ling and beat her up a few times too?"

Shen Zhihuan didn't have any objection to these words; her cheap parents had been disgusting for quite some time.

As long as she gets the money, she doesn't care what he babbles about.

"Then thank you, Uncle and Aunt. But don't worry, after the severance of ties, I will only take what I am entitled to, and I won't take a penny more than what I deserve."

Shen Zhihuan changed her address readily, but Shen Yongcai glared at her fiercely, so angry that his liver ached, yet he dared not say anything more.

To hell with your uncles and aunts!

Just looking at her face made his buttocks ache.

It was clearly Shen Zhihuan who suddenly went crazy and beat up everyone in their family!

Now she's the one acting like a victim!

Shen Yongcai has never suffered such injustice in his life.

They want to get revenge, but it's this shady place that's hurting them.

He can't exactly take off his pants and show everyone his wound, can he?

Chen Yongcai had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

The thought of losing face in front of the whole village made Shen Yongcai feel like he was going to faint.

He was certain that when that bitch Shen Zhihuan made her move, she deliberately chose that spot!

Although the villagers didn't know what Shen Yongcai was thinking, they could tell from his expression that he was definitely up to no good.

The older women were afraid that the Shen family would cause trouble again, so they kept urging them on.

“Since your family has cash, what are you waiting for? Quickly give the money to Huan’er according to the requirements in the ‘Letter of Severance of Relationships’.”

With the police watching nearby, Shen Yongcai dared not act rashly.

He had no choice but to hold his nose and go inside to retrieve the money he had just received.

He spoke those words as if they were squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Take as much as you want."

Shen Zhihuan didn't stand on ceremony with him. In front of everyone, she brought over a full seven hundred yuan, counted it to make sure the amount was correct, and then put it in her pocket.

Finally, she picked up the pen and carefully signed her name on the "Letter of Severance of Relationships".

Two copies of the "Letter of Severance of Relationship" were made. Shen Zhihuan kept one copy for herself and left the other copy on the Shen family's table.

She coldly mocked, "Keep this for yourselves. All kinship ties have been severed, so don't come back to me in your old age thinking you can take care of me."

"you!"

The Shen family of three was furious, but dared not say anything, and could only silently keep this debt in their hearts.
