Plot: Lu Yao, who relied on her brother since childhood, agreed to her uncle's arrangement to marry the neglected eldest son of the Shen family to pay for her brother's medical treatment. A...
Chapter 74 Fell Again
The rest of the journey went smoothly. There were no sudden changes in weather and no ignorant people causing trouble.
Apart from,
Are there cursing sounds coming from the team?
That’s right, Old Mrs. Wang stayed on the cart for several days. Although it was comfortable because she didn’t have to walk, she was old after all, and the road conditions were bad, so the bumpy ride was uncomfortable.
"Don't you have eyes? You didn't even know to avoid such a big pit!" After being bumped again, the old lady could no longer bear it: "Shen Yu, you guys did it on purpose. You are all ungrateful beasts!"
Shen Yu and others looked unhappy. No one would be in a good mood if they did hard labor and were cursed.
They couldn't stand it any longer and let go of the cart. "If that's the case, then you better turn a blind eye."
After saying that, they walked a few steps away from the cart, and their aunts and wives came over and stood with them.
"You, you guys..." Old Lady Wang pointed at them and gritted her teeth, "How dare you!"
"Why wouldn't you dare?" Shen Yu sneered. "Do you really think we're fools?"
Chen Hui also said: "Don't think that we don't know what you are planning. Considering that you gave birth to us and raised us, you reluctantly helped us out. It can be regarded as repaying the kindness over the years. What a pity..." Some people's actions were too ugly, and they were not fools who had no thoughts and could be manipulated.
Chen Zhao glanced at his father and then taunted him, "It's been so many days, you've almost recovered, you don't need us anymore."
Shen Yulian didn't waste any words and directly took out the paper she had prepared in advance: "Please sign the severance agreement."
"Okay, okay," Old Lady Wang pointed at a few people and said to Shen Shiren, "These guys came prepared."
She sneered, "No wonder, the old woman was just an excuse."
"Okay," Shen Shiren sighed softly and said to Shen Yu and the others earnestly, "Your grandmother is not feeling well and has a bad temper. As the younger generation, you should not argue with the elders."
"Have we not been following the old lady's wishes all these years? But has she ever treated us as human beings?" Shen Yulian sneered, "Father, if you don't treat us as human beings, why bother tying us up in front of you and making us an eyesore?"
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Old Lady Wang: "Look, Grandma is so angry that she's about to eat someone!"
"You unfilial sons, ungrateful wolves, sons of bitches..."
"Old lady, we were born to a bitch, so what has become of your son?" Shen Zhao's temper immediately interrupted Old Lady Wang's words, "Or rather, what have you become of giving birth to a son like that?"
Old Mrs. Wang had no words to say after that. The words were stuck in her throat, unable to go down or up, and she started coughing instantly.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Seeing his mother coughing violently, Shen Shiren quickly stood up and sat sideways on the cart to help her breathe.
Shen Yulian exclaimed: "Father, don't move."
She stepped forward and pushed the man back. Shen Shiren was not paying attention and his chest hit the cart with a bang, almost killing him.
"Father, you are still seriously ill and cannot do this," Shen Yulian said with a smile, "Your daughter is here."
As she spoke, she swiftly helped the man up and slapped him on the back. Old Mrs. Wang was so shocked by this sudden change that she didn't react for a long time.
When she finally reacted, her eyes rolled and she cried out, "Ouch, ouch!" "My back, my waist, are breaking. I'm dying. These ungrateful beasts are going to kill me."
Shen Yulian let go of the hand that was supporting her and took a step back. Old Mrs. Wang was still sitting there howling.
When she realized that the people around her were looking at her in a strange way, she finally reacted and supported her waist: "Ouch, ouch, my waist, help me lie down."
"It seems that father and grandmother are in much better health." Shen Yulian said with a smile.
Shen Yaoming and Wang Yalan were also shocked, and then they felt dissatisfied and angry at being deceived.
They have been working so hard these days, but it seems like the mother and son are just pretending?
Because of their identities, the two of them said nothing.
Liu Wan and her daughter were no longer like they used to be. They were always trying to please and obey the old woman in order to gain benefits from her. They couldn't help but say, "Mom, your waist is healed. That's great."
Shen Juanjuan also nodded happily: "We have been worried about you these days."
Shen Lili followed closely behind: “Yes, grandma has recovered, we are so happy.”
Finally, I don’t have to push this damn old woman anymore.
It's okay if they have people like Shen Yu with them, but if they really quit, won't everything fall on them?
Therefore, no matter from which perspective, we must take this opportunity to get the old woman out of the field today.
Those who had such thoughts did not know that the three of them, including Shen Shifu and everyone else, had such thoughts.
Oh, except for Shen Shiren who was also lying on the cart.
When the old lady heard what Liu Wan and her two daughters said, her face instantly became even uglier, and she felt even more annoyed with these three people who were so tactless, realistic and selfish.
"What do you mean?" Shen Shiren had been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, so how could he not see that these people had ulterior motives.
Old Lady Wang snorted coldly, her tone unkind: "What else could it mean? You just think we're a burden and want to leave us alone!"
"Uncle, Grandma, we've been gone for almost a month now. We've been pushing the cart, rain or shine," Shen Yaoxuan said with a sad face. "No matter how hard or tired we've been, you haven't complained. If we really didn't want to care, we would have given up long ago."
Shen Yaoxuan is Shen Shifu's eldest son. He has always been a little smart, and at this time, he also understands what everyone means.
Although he looked down on Chen Zhao and the others, it did not prevent him from using a few people to get rid of this damn cart.
Shen Yaoyang received the look from his eldest brother and looked at the old lady with tears in his eyes: "Grandma, we really didn't ignore you."
He finished speaking and stretched out his hands: "Look."
His palms were already covered with calluses.
In the past, a small bubble would make him groan for a long time, but now, even so, he didn't make a sound.
Because he knew that he would be unable to take care of himself during his exile, and even his father might not care about him.
Ever since the Shen family got into trouble, he could only rely on himself.
"That's enough. Grandma knows that you three brothers are all good people," Old Mrs. Wang said as she looked at her little grandson with tears in her eyes, and she felt distressed immediately.
The person she cares most about is naturally her eldest grandson, but she also loves this sweet-mouthed little grandson who knows how to please her. Even though she has had some opinions about her second grandson's family these days, she finally softened her heart when she saw her little grandson like this.
Hearing the old lady's words, Shen Zhao immediately quit: "Grandma, these days, even if we don't have any merits, we must have worked hard, right?"
Shen Yulian also said: "Since grandma thinks we are not good people, then it's perfect. Kick us out of the Shen family and don't even think about getting a penny from the Shen family from now on."
As long as she can leave the Shen family, she is willing to give it to him.
Of course, not to mention that I have nothing, even if I did, I couldn’t really give it to them.
These past few days, whenever she closed her eyes, she would think of the gift those people gave her that night. If it weren't for Captain Zhang's integrity, she would probably...
She endured all of this because she wanted to take her aunt away from the Shen family openly!
Shen Yu nodded in agreement: "We will leave the house with nothing. We don't want a single cent of the Shen family's belongings."
Although, he didn't think that there was anything about the Shen family that was worth their concern at the moment.
Anyway, now that the two men's physical conditions have been exposed, no matter how thick-skinned they are, they can't continue to lie on the cart and enjoy themselves.
pity,
They underestimated the two men's shamelessness and shamelessness. No matter what they said, they would not get out of the car or sign.
Captain Zhang and Captain Wu had already discovered the situation here.
The two had been wondering when another conflict would break out in this family, but they didn't expect that those people would endure for so many days just to get a signature.
Captain Zhang now hates this family deeply.
That night, if I hadn't reacted quickly, the girl from the Shen family would have been kept in the dark and would have fallen into the trap of those people.
Now, he wants to be as far away from the Shen family as possible, but that doesn't stop him from keeping an eye on these people all the time and finding fault whenever he gets the chance.
At that moment, he glanced at Captain Wu beside him and said, "There's already so much left. Let them deal with it quickly and get back on the road."
Captain Wu smiled, naturally understanding the other party's implication.
He immediately rode over and briefly questioned Shen Yu and the others. Then he looked at the two Shen Shiren brothers and said, "If you don't care, why do you still want to keep them by your side? That's something only vicious people would do."
The implication is that if they don't sign, they are malicious people.
Shen Shiren: “…”
Although his current reputation is not good, he does not want to continue to have a reputation for being harsh on the younger generation.
"Also," Captain Wu continued without waiting for their reply, "The general let you use the cart because he was kind. Now that you've recovered, don't try to evade the law."
The process of reaching the place of exile on foot is a punishment in itself. With Captain Wu watching him with his sharp eyes, it would be a daydream to think of getting away with it.
Originally, it would have been fine if they had taken the initiative to get out of bed, but I didn't expect that two days later, the lovers were still enjoying the treatment of being pushed around with a clear conscience. This was unbearable.
Just when they were planning to have a good chat with these people in the afternoon, they didn't expect that a commotion would break out before they even reached the resting place.
Thus, with Captain Wu's quick, accurate and ruthless operation, Shen Yu, Chen Hui, Shen Zhao, Shen Yulian and their aunts all obtained the letter of severance of engagement.
Oh, it's the kind signed by a witness.
Naturally, Shen Shiren and Old Lady Wang could no longer enjoy the treatment of riding on a cart.
Shen Yaoming and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Wan looked at the people who were walking forward happily with the letters of severance with envy, and was extremely envious.
She looked at her man, hoping he would say something.
Unfortunately, the other party had no intention of separating at all.
She was a little anxious, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only feel unhappy inwardly.
"What? Are you still planning to take root here?" Captain Wu cracked his whip. "Hurry up!"
Old Lady Wang and Shen Shiren hated Captain Wu to the core, but even though they were dissatisfied, they could do nothing about him. They only hoped that their Shen family could stand up again, and then they would make these people who looked down on others regret it.
The old lady hadn't walked for several days. Ganlu, who suddenly had to travel a long distance, was so tired after just a few steps that the pain in her waist and legs, which had stopped hurting, began to ache again.
It’s a pity that the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” is destined not to succeed again and again.
Old Lady Wang was so angry that she almost cursed, but Captain Wu was watching her from a distance, so she didn't even dare let him hear her curse.
It can be as frustrating as it can be.
Because she was thinking about something, she didn't pay attention to the road under her feet. There was a pothole of medium size in front of her, and she stepped directly into the pot.
With a scream, she fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".
Captain Wu clicked his tongue twice. This old woman was so cruel to herself just because she didn't want to walk.
He is not the only one who thinks this way.
All the direct descendants of the Shen family, including Shen Shiren, think so.
This old lady used to walk faster than them all, but now she can't even walk a few steps. It's impossible that she's not doing it on purpose.
"Oh, my God, please be kind and let me go," Old Lady Wang cried as she sat on the ground. Seeing that no one was looking at her and helped her up, she took her anger out on them and asked, "Why are you just standing there?"
Shen Yaoming hurried forward to help the man, but he failed to lift him up.
The old lady rolled up her trouser legs and found that her ankles were swollen like steamed buns made of yeast dough.
Only then did everyone realize that she was not pretending.
Captain Wu agreed to let the old lady sit on the cart again as if to watch the fun. He was very curious about how long the Shen family could hold on this time.
Wang Yalan and others didn't expect that the man who had threatened to make them, the prisoners, receive the punishment they deserved, would turn into the considerate and easy-going person in just a quarter of an hour. It was incredible.
So, after just a short break, the few people began their daily routine of pushing the cart with great effort.
Old Mrs. Wang grimaced and endured the pain, but she was very proud in her heart.
"Mom, sit tight and don't get shaken." Shen Shiren looked at the old lady who was swaying on the cart and was very nervous, fearing that she would accidentally fall off the cart.
The old lady waved her hands, it was impossible for her to fall.
Just as this thought came to mind, the next moment, one of the wheels of the cart fell into the pit, the cart tilted, and the person sitting on it lost their balance and fell to the ground without any preparation...
