After hearing what Tian Wenfang said, Liu Cuihua and her husband put down their bowls and stood up to look out the window. When they saw that it was indeed Zhou Shuhuan who came in, the whole family immediately lifted the door curtain to welcome him out.

"Son-in-law, why are you here?"

Seeing that Zhou Shuhuan didn't respond, Shen Dashan quickly changed the topic: "Shuhuan, go sit inside. It's cold outside."

Zhou Shuhuan then nodded and followed him into the house.

"Have you had breakfast? Do you want some more?" Shen Dashan asked eagerly.

Glancing at the dining table, the noodle dumpling soup with fermented soybeans was still the same standard the Zhou family had lived at ten years ago.

"No, I've eaten."

Zhou Shuhuan concealed his disdain calmly and got straight to the point: "Yuanbao will be going to elementary school next year. I want to ask what your plans are."

The whole family looked at each other.

Boys must go to school when they reach a certain age. Although compulsory education is now universal and there is no tuition fee, the cost of books, materials, pencils, stationery, food and clothing, etc. is still a considerable expense.

Tian Wenfang was the first to speak up: "Yuanbao is your Zhou family's child, you should raise him yourselves. With the current situation at home, there is no way we can raise another child."

After saying that, Shen Hao glared at her, and she glared back without giving in.

Shen Hao was finally defeated without saying a word.

Zhou Shuhuan looked at Liu Cuihua and Shen Dashan, "Uncle, aunt, if you have no objection, then Yuanbao will follow me from now on?"

Liu Cuihua moved her lips, unwillingly saying, "The custody of Yuanbao belongs to Baolan. She's not here now, so you can help her raise him temporarily. When she comes back, you can return Yuanbao to her."

Shen Dashan and Shen Hao, father and son, nodded at the same time, obviously agreeing with Liu Cuihua's proposal.

Zhou Shuhuan smiled lightly, "You guys don't bully people like this, do you?"

"Since Baolan came into our family, we haven't had a peaceful day. She has been obedient, filial to her parents-in-law, and managed the housework. Which of these has she done well?"

"In order to divorce her, I gave her all my house and shop, and even owed her more than three million in foreign debt. Now you still want me to help her raise her son. Do I, Zhou Shuhuan, deserve to owe you money?"

Zhou Shuhuan's words were like slaps in the face, leaving the entire family speechless.

But they also felt aggrieved and depressed. On the surface, their family took great advantage of the Zhou family, but they didn't get anything in return. It was all taken away by Gao Hualiang.

Zhou Shuhuan was too lazy to beat around the bush and directly took out five thousand yuan.

"If you agree that Yuanbao will be with me, please write a statement giving up the custody rights. This five thousand yuan is a small token of my appreciation. If you really can't bear to part with Yuanbao, I won't force you. I will send Yuanbao back tomorrow, and I won't care about him anymore in the future."

The whole family stared at the money on the table, no one saying a word.

Shen Wenwu was awakened by the sound of conversation and jumped off the kang. He grabbed the money on the table and stuffed it into Tian Wenfang's hands.

"Mom, I have so much money. Can you take me to buy a car?"

Tian Wenfang smiled awkwardly, but held the money tightly in her hand.

In the end, it was Shen Dashan who spoke up and asked Shen Hao to write a statement giving up custody rights.

"Uncle and aunt, take care of yourselves."

Having achieved his goal, Zhou Shuhuan left after saying a few polite words.

Liu Cuihua sat there for a while, then suddenly ran out like crazy.

"Shuhuan! Shuhuan! Wait a minute!"

Zhou Shuhuan didn't want to pay any attention to Liu Cuihua, but she kept chasing him, attracting many villagers to come out to watch the fun, so he had to stop for the sake of his face.

"Shuhuan, you and Baolan have been married for so many years. For the sake of our past relationship, please save her. You are rich and capable. You will definitely find her if you want to."

Liu Cuihua thought that a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace, but she didn't know that Zhou Shuhuan had only resentment and hatred towards Shen Baolan in his heart.

He was also full of resentment towards Liu Cuihua, "When she took away all the property of my Zhou family, did you ever think of kindness? Now you are talking about kindness to me, aren't you ridiculous?"

"Shen Baolan deserves what she has ended up like this! I might as well tell you the truth, I wish she would die out there and never come back!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Cuihua's eyes were bloodshot, her body twitched abnormally, and the next second she fell to the ground like a wooden stake.

At the same time, a stream of bright red blood flowed from her nostrils.

"mom!!"

Not far away, Shen Hao ran over angrily, followed closely by Shen Dashan and Tian Wenfang.

After rescue, Liu Cuihua's life was saved, but she fell into a coma.

Liu Cuihua's coma this time was caused by cerebral hemorrhage, also known as stroke. The doctor predicted that she would wake up in about a week, and also asked the Shen family to be mentally prepared: "The patient may be paralyzed, but the amount of bleeding is not large, and the treatment is timely. Even if the patient is paralyzed, the symptoms will not be too serious. After recuperation and exercise, she can still recover normal mobility."

The doctor explained it in great detail, but the family only heard the word paralysis and felt like the sky was falling.

Shen Hao grabbed Zhou Shuhuan by the collar and said, "It's all your fault. Why did you come home? If you hadn't come, my mom wouldn't have gotten sick!"

Tian Wenfang's thoughts are much more profound than Shen Hao's.

A stroke is not something that happens overnight, and we don’t know how much money it will cost in the future. We can’t just let Zhou Shuhuan, this “cash cow”, go.

"Zhou Shuhuan, what did you say to Mom that made her so angry that she had a stroke? We can't just let this go!"

Shen Dashan's brain was also quick, and he immediately understood his daughter-in-law's intention: "Shuhuan, Baolan's mother was pissed off by you, you have to take responsibility."

Facing the Shen family who were eyeing him covetously, Zhou Shuhuan did not panic, but instead had a look of sarcasm and sneer on his face.

"No wonder you raised a daughter like Shen Baolan. The whole family is of the same character, stupid, evil, and greedy. If a dog passes by your door, it will be skinned alive, right?"

Shen Dashan was a little embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed, but Tian Wenfang didn't care and was only thinking about money.

"If you kill someone, you must pay for your life. If you owe someone a debt, you must pay for it. We saw it with our own eyes, and so did the villagers. You made Mom so angry that she became ill. It's fine if Mom is fine, but if anything happens to her, you'll be a murderer!"

Zhou Shuhuan said indifferently: "Okay, call the police."

"Report it if you want. Just wait!"

The Shen family called Shen Zhemin.

The contact in the previous month made the whole family have 100% trust and reliance on Shen Zhemin, and they believed that Shen Zhemin would definitely side with them.

Shen Zhemin was busy investigating a case and did not come. Instead, he called the local police station and asked the police to come and handle the matter.

After understanding the situation, the police questioned the doctor, Shen's family and Zhou Shuhuan separately.

"Did you have any arguments or quarrels with the patient the day before the incident?"

Shen Hao answered honestly: "My mother had a nightmare in the middle of last night. She dreamed of my sister. She cried and asked me to take Yuanbao back. My wife refused, and the two of them had a few words, and nothing else happened."

The police officer glanced at him, lowered his head and recorded the situation. (End of this chapter)
