"Baili's wife, you've gone too far! Buying medicine for your mother-in-law and making a profit off it? That's incredibly lucrative!"

"What? I think the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are working together to ruin Wanli!"

"What a despicable woman! What kind of mother-in-law is that?"

Amidst a chorus of curses, Tian Guifen gritted her teeth, knocked over the medicine bowl, and angrily shouted, "You're all so great! If it weren't for the fact that my poor fourth son died because he couldn't afford medicine, do you think I would care about you? You, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tian Guifen fell straight backward!

"mother!"

Shen Erming quickly grabbed his mother and frantically called for a doctor: "Doctor, please take a look at my mother."

"Why are Wanli's wife's clothes all wet? It looks like someone splashed water on her?"

"And what's this other smell?"

“I know, I know, I heard it all clearly from next door. It was when I was feeding Old Madam Shen her medicine that she vomited all over herself, and then Da Zhou poured a bucket of well water on her, saying that this would wash away the filth so she could continue to serve Old Madam Shen.”

Hearing the voices of the "enthusiastic people" around her, Tian Guifen felt extremely relieved.

"...It's nothing serious, just a bit of liver fire and you got splashed with cold water. Just be careful not to catch a cold when you get home, and a bowl of ginger soup will do the trick."

The old doctor did not expose Tian Guifen's feigned fainting.

Poor thing.

"Erming, quickly take your mother home." Shen Qianli's wife, Xiao Zhou, took off her coat and draped it over Tian Guifen.

Don't catch a cold again.

Holding his mother tightly, Shen Erming glared angrily at the feigning-death Old Lady Shen with bloodshot eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "I, Shen Erming, will remember the death of my fourth brother and what happened today!"

As for anything more hateful, Shen Erming naturally knew he shouldn't say it at this time.

The drama didn't end with the mother and son leaving.

Everyone stood in the courtyard, pointing and whispering at Madam Zhou and Old Lady Shen.

Some of their own clansmen even came to lecture Old Lady Shen and Madam Zhou after hearing the news.

However, none of these things concerned Shen Erming.

When Shen Wanli's family saw Tian Guifen being carried back, they were terrified.

Shen Wanli took only two steps before falling heavily to the ground!

"Bang!"

It was smashed really hard.

"Oh my god, Dad, are you alright?"

"What happened to your mother?"

"It's okay, let's talk inside."

After arriving at the east wing, Tian Guifen opened her eyes.

Shen Erming was speechless: "Mom, you're really good at pretending."

His father fell so hard, but he didn't even open his eyes.

sharp.

"Pretending?"

Shen Wanli was dumbfounded.

What followed was intense anger!

"How could this happen..." Shen Wanli had just started to speak when he suddenly noticed that his wife was soaking wet and the clothes weren't hers. He immediately became anxious, "What happened? Was she bullied? Who was it? Was it Madam Zhou or the old lady?"

Whichever one it is!

You can't bully his wife!

"Ahh!"

Shen Liuliu also joined in the shouting, her voice high-pitched, her face bearing the exact same expression as her father's.

How dare you bully her mother?

It just won't work!

When Tian Guifen saw her precious daughter, all her anger vanished. She took off her wet outer and inner clothes, changed into clean clothes, and then hugged her daughter.

During this time, Shen Erming awkwardly turned his head away.

Shen Yishan, who rushed in, was also quite embarrassed.

Unaware of what was happening, Tian Guifen held her daughter and, feeling reassured, slowly recounted the events.

"...Originally, I wanted to be bullied a lot, then make a scene, attract people, and then pitifully faint."

Unexpectedly, Erming was even smarter and directly invited a doctor! Now the whole village knows that the old lady was faking illness to cheat me out of money and to bully me.

So even if she gets really sick in the future, no one will say anything if I don't go.

This is why Tian Guifen insisted on going today.

Even a quick calculation would tell that this old woman is faking illness.

The reason, of course, is that they didn't dote on their daughter at her 100-day celebration.

That's why Tian Guifen came up with this idea.

"I was thinking that if I didn't have any obvious injuries or anything, I was going to roll around on the ground a couple of times. I didn't expect the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be so helpful."

The words were spoken in jest, but the coldness in his eyes was undeniable.

Looking into Tian Guifen's cold eyes, everyone fell silent.

"Ah, ah!"

Just then, Shen Liuliu suddenly touched her mother's chest.

Mother, it's okay, don't be sad.

Shen Liuliu was comforting her mother in her own way.

But who knew that the area around the heart was so close to the grain, which led to Tian Guifen's misunderstanding.

Are you hungry?

With her back to her sons, Tian Guifen laid her daughter down horizontally, unbuttoned her clothes, and stuffed the food directly into her daughter's mouth.

Shen Liuliu: ? ? ?

ah!

I was trying to comfort you, what's wrong with you...?

"Gulp, gulp."

Listening to her daughter happily drinking milk, Tian Guifen said with satisfaction, "She really is hungry."

Shen Liuliu: ...

My glorious reputation!

"Hey Erming, how much will it cost to invite a doctor from town to the village?"

Tian Yexiang still acted petty.

In fact, not only Tian Yexiang, but everyone else felt uncomfortable about spending money on Old Mrs. Shen.

But considering that they had embarrassed Old Mrs. Shen, no one said anything.

"Who said I paid?"

Shen Erming shrugged innocently.

Does he look like such a stupid person?

Paying money before even seeing a doctor?

Keep dreaming.

"Well done, second brother."

"You're so smart."

Everyone in the family started praising Shen Erming.

Tian Yexiang exclaimed happily, "Just thinking about having to pay them over there makes me feel so good!"

"Mmm, glug glug!"

Even while drinking her milk, Shen Liuliu didn't forget to shout out and give her second brother a thumbs up.

Well done!

Shen Wanli smiled and shook his head: "I hope this is the last time."

After all, she was his own mother, and especially with his own father there, Shen Wanli didn't want things to get too ugly.

But if the other party doesn't know how to restrain themselves, then he certainly won't be the kind of person who blindly follows filial piety!

"I'm just worried that the old man will become their punching bag again."

Shen Wanli sighed.

The whole family fell silent.

Tian Guifen said, "What can we do if Father doesn't want to?"

Both she and her second sister-in-law had expressed their intention to let their father live with them.

But the old man was reluctant to leave his wife and worried that moving out would have a negative impact on his eldest son, so he never agreed.

"Hey, why haven't I seen my grandpa today?" Wang Xiuhe suddenly remembered and exclaimed.

If the old man were home, he would definitely stop it.

Although success is not guaranteed.

But I haven't seen the old man at all today. What's going on?

"Something's not right! Dad would never stay home if he didn't come out! Oh no, could they have done something to Grandpa because they were worried he'd ruin things?"

Shen Wanli slapped his thigh and stood up, his face dark with anger, and rushed out.
