"Yes! I didn't want to knock my grandpa out, but my grandma forced me to! Why shouldn't she be punished?"

Shen Pengju knelt upright and shouted loudly.

How could I have forgotten about this old lady?

Why is it that when their family is torn apart, the old lady can go and enjoy a comfortable life in her other sons' homes?

Shen Wanli's gaze fell on his daughter, wanting to reprimand her, but he couldn't bear to.

This little girl must have done it on purpose!

Shen Liuliu grinned at her father, as if to say, "I'm just a kid, I didn't mean anything by it."

So what if Dad finds out she did it on purpose?

The old lady was wrong to begin with.

Even if she deliberately reminds me, it's nothing.

Everyone's gazes were like needles behind her back. Old Mrs. Shen's wrinkled face was filled with fear and dread. She trembled as she tried to say something, but she couldn't utter a word. Instead, she started coughing.

"Cough cough cough..."

His hair was disheveled from coughing, and his face was flushed red, as if he was coughing up his internal organs.

Old Master Shen felt sorry for his wife. He patted her back tremblingly to help her catch her breath, while calling out, "Quickly, bring a bowl of water."

After drinking the water, Grandma Shen felt much better. She leaned weakly against the chair, looking listless as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

"No one else was there when it happened, so what can I say? Okay, that's enough, let's not talk about it anymore."

The old lady held back her tears, stubbornly refusing to utter another word in her defense.

It's as if they're saying: If there's a misunderstanding, come at me. Stop suspecting and pressuring my children and grandchildren!

First, they showed weakness!

This is another instance of retreating to advance!

What a brilliant move!

Shen Liuliu even wanted to applaud the old lady!

Since this old lady is so clever, why did she come up with such a foolish trick as faking illness to torment her mother?

No!

It wasn't that she was stupid; it was that she hadn't expected her mother to handle things so well, and the fact that her second brother had brought in a doctor caught them completely off guard!

Shen Liuliu always thought that her grandfather liked her grandmother very much, which was why he spoiled her so much.

Now it seems that it wasn't just because of liking her, but more because the old lady had some tricks up her sleeve, right?

"Ah, the old lady is right. There was no one else present at the time, so whatever Da Zhou and the others said, the old lady couldn't find anyone to prove her innocence."

"The old lady is pitiful too."

"Who says otherwise? The Shen family is utterly heartless! Even if the old lady is a bit wicked, she's been incredibly devoted to their branch of the family! Now that something's happened, they're trying to pin all the blame on her!"

The villagers' opinions changed almost instantly!

Shen Baili and the others were dumbfounded!

Madam Zhou was dumbfounded, never expecting her mother-in-law to have such methods. She instinctively retorted loudly, "It was clearly you who asked me to get the medicine... The old man heard it!"

Oh, right!

The old man was there!

"Father, tell us quickly! Tell everyone what happened!" Madam Zhou suddenly felt emboldened.

So what if this old lady is a good actress?

The old man was perfectly lucid at the time!

Grandma Shen's face twitched almost imperceptibly a few times, and her withered hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched tightly instantly!

"Boss, how can you slander your own mother like this? Where is your conscience?"

Old Master Shen did not answer, but instead asked in anguish.

"What do you mean by 'climbing the line'? My father is clearly my mother..."

"Don't you know what kind of person your wife is?"

With just one sentence, the old man sealed the fate of the Zhou family.

Da Zhou naturally denied it, but since the old man wouldn't change his mind, the village chief and the others proceeded with the matter as previously agreed.

When the old man tremblingly crossed out the names of Shen Baili, Shen Pengju, their wives and children, and Da Zhoushi from the family genealogy, the old man cried.

There was no sound, only a silent shrugging of the shoulders, tears streaming down the wrinkles.

"Father, how could you be so heartless? You'll get your comeuppance!"

Shen Baili's face contorted as he began to curse!

They were quickly driven out by Shen Qianli and his group.

Shen Baili and the others, carrying their packed belongings, were driven out of Lotus Village.

Throughout the entire process, neither Shen Baili nor his wife remembered Shen Tiantian, and it seemed as if they had never even seen her.

For a moment, Shen Liuliu didn't know whether she should comfort Sister Tiantian or feel fortunate for her...

As for Shen Pengfei, he locked himself in his room and refused to speak.

The old man fainted again, and the brothers Shen Wanli and Shen Qianli stayed there to take care of him, while everyone else returned.

It's pointless for so many people to just stay there.

Shen Liuliu quietly instructed the animals to follow and see where Shen Baili and the others had gone.

What if these people have ulterior motives and are eyeing their house?

So it's more reassuring to keep an eye on things.

Before the group even got home, Shen Erming told them about the situation in the fields on the way.

"Mother, our crops have been uprooted! They've been uprooted on the west and south sides!" Shen Erming said indignantly.

At this point, everyone hadn't all dispersed yet.

Upon hearing this, Madam Fu raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Who pulled it out? Who's so heartless?"

"Exactly, is it easy for farmers to make money from farming?" Aunt Wang was also very angry.

This is not only immoral, but wasting food is something that farming families cannot tolerate!

In years of famine, how many families were forced to sell their children, or even exchange children for food?

Now people are deliberately uprooting other people's crops?

"Who knows who you might have offended?" Da Zhuang's wife said sarcastically, with a bright smile on her face!

Should!

Let the Shen family be so smug!

Why did you only pull up the topsoil?

It would be best to pluck them all out!

Someone was hiding in the crowd, their lips curling into an uncontrollable smile.

"If we're talking about who you've offended, aren't you the first one? You knocked down my sister-in-law, then got bitten on the butt by a turtle, and then another man touched you, and you've been harboring resentment towards my family ever since! If we're talking about suspects, I think you're the first one!"

Shen Erming stared at Dazhuang's wife with a cryptic expression, a hidden threat in his eyes.

I can't be bothered arguing with this woman, she's really pushing her luck, isn't she?

"Bullshit, I didn't... Ouch, ouch!"

Before she could finish speaking, Da Zhuang's wife suddenly let out a strange cry and began to twist and turn her body from side to side, which was extremely bizarre.

An An subconsciously glanced at Shen Liu Liu beside her. The little girl had a smile on her lips and her eyes were extremely bright.

The young boy then casually tossed away the pebble he had just picked up.

This little girl is still so protective of her own.

"Hey Dazhuang's wife, your husband isn't here, so who are you trying to impress with all that hip-swaying?"

One of the men made a joke, and everyone burst into laughter.

"It itches! It's so itchy!"

Da Zhuang's wife was so anxious she was sweating.

Why is it so itchy?

On my chest, and inside my pants...

It felt like there were ants, and she really wanted to reach out and grab them!

"Itchy? Where does it itch? Do you want your brother to help you?" Hu Si whistled and shouted loudly.

Wow, he's really too kind.
