This was the first time Shu Fan had acted so coldly and resolutely.

Chen looked at him in surprise, "Don't you want to see her?"

After all, she was her own mother, whom she had never met in her memory. She thought the children would at least be willing to meet her.

"No!" Shufan and Pan'er said in unison, their voices firm and resolute.

Chen was even more surprised and looked at Pan'er, "You don't want to go either?"

“Our mother is long gone. My aunt is our mother, and my uncle is our father!” Pan’er said seriously with her cute little face.

Chen looked at this and then at that, as if she understood something.

Although the two children are only seven years old, they have never had a biological mother and were raised by their aunt. Having lived under someone else's roof for so many years, even though they still have some childlike innocence, they are actually much more mature than children of the same age and have a deeper understanding of issues than other children.

After thinking for a moment, Madam Chen said, "Then you all stay here, and Grandma will go and take a look."

No matter what, she is still Jiang Xiucai's wife, and Jiang Qinyu is not at home now, so she has to go and see her.

Chen went out, and Yunzhu stayed in the kitchen, making dumplings while watching the two children, but as she watched, she felt incredibly heartbroken.

Pan'er gripped Shu Fan's hand tightly, her eyes red-rimmed, and asked, "Brother, will Auntie hand us over to that woman?"

"No!" Shufan said firmly, "Auntie said she would always be with us, and I believe her."

He paused, then added, "I also believe in my uncle."

My uncle is a great general. As long as he is unwilling to give them to that woman, no matter how many tricks she has up her sleeve, it won't work.

Moreover, he could tell that his aunt and uncle were getting closer and closer, and who knew when they would have a younger brother or sister. When that happened, he would definitely help take good care of the younger brother or sister, so that his aunt would be even less likely to give him to that woman.

The little child spoke with conviction, but deep down he was still very uncertain. He could only rack his brains to think of what value he could bring to his aunt and uncle in order to get a chance to stay.

Yunzhu didn't interrupt, but quietly watched the two children clumsily making dumplings, her disgust for the women outside growing stronger.

Meanwhile, when Liu Yuqing saw Chen Shi come out, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Are you Aunt Lu? I am Shufan and Pan'er's biological mother. Where are they?"

Chen did not answer her question, but said indifferently, "I remember my eldest daughter-in-law's sister-in-law left Yongshan County seven years ago, abandoning her husband and children. We have never met her sister-in-law, so you can't make a decision based on just one sentence."

She only glanced at Liu Yuqing before she could roughly guess what kind of person she was.

This woman has shifty eyes; her pupils are always darting around. You can tell at a glance that she's not a good person.

Since neither of the children wanted to acknowledge her, she decided to stall them for now. Anyway, either A-Zheng or A-Zheng's wife would be back soon, and she could leave it to them to handle.

"What do you mean by that, Auntie?" Liu Yuqing wanted to snap at such questioning, but remembering that she still wanted a place in this house, she immediately covered her face and started sobbing. "We're all women, Auntie, put your hand on your heart and tell me honestly, if I hadn't been forced into it, why would I have abandoned my child back then? Auntie's suspicion about my identity is completely unreasonable. Who would take on two children to raise for no reason these days..."

Of course, she would find someone else to raise the children for her; she didn't have the money to raise those two little brats.

The more Chen listened to her sobbing, the more her brows furrowed.

Regardless of whether this woman is Shufan and Pan'er's biological mother, she never wants to deal with such a person in her life.

Just then, Old Man Lu, A Ping, and Chen Xiuer walked in from outside the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, Amber couldn't help but ask a question. She quickly explained Liu Yuqing's identity and also added the information she had just gathered outside.

"Is she really Shufan and Pan'er's biological mother?" Old Man Lu looked Liu Yuqing up and down, instinctively feeling disgusted with her.

Chen said, "We'll have to wait until Ah Zheng's wife comes back to find out."

"We can't just let her cry like this in our house, can we?" Old Lu rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward. "We're about to have dinner. If you have something to say, wait until my eldest daughter-in-law comes back. Go outside and wait!"

Seeing this, Liu Yuqing thought that Old Man Lu was going to drag her out, and immediately screamed, "Help! Someone's hitting me!"

Everyone in the courtyard: "..."

Chen Shao and Aunt Qin, who lived not far away, heard the shouts and rushed to the scene immediately.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Chen, is this woman trying to cause trouble?" Chen Shao asked, rubbing his hands together. "I'll kick her out right now!"

Aunt Qin's lips twitched, and she grabbed Chen Shao, who was about to step forward, saying, "You stay here!"

She came to bolster the Lu family's courage, not to cause trouble. After all, Lu Yanzheng and his wife hadn't returned yet, and since no one was in charge of this matter, they couldn't be too forceful with that woman.

But as long as these neighbors are here watching, that woman can't cause any trouble.

Old Man Lu was stunned by Liu Yuqing's sudden attempt to extort money. He stared blankly at her, then looked at his own hands. "Who's going to hit you? I'm going to wash my hands and eat by the water tank in the corner!"

Aunt Qin immediately said, "We can all testify that Old Lu didn't do anything. Don't make false accusations against him!"

“That’s right!” Chen Shao chimed in cleverly. “My mother and I are both watching. Besides, with your looks, who would want to be near you?”

He didn't forget to make a disparaging remark about Liu Yuqing.

Liu Yuqing was furious at Chen Shao's words, but she knew that her reaction was a bit too much. She immediately got up from the ground and performed her face-changing skills for everyone, "Hehe, well, I misunderstood my father-in-law just now, please don't take it to heart."

Old Man Lu and Madam Chen both had dark faces; they had never seen such a shameless scoundrel before.

Liu Yuqing spoke again, "I came today to see my sister-in-law and my two children. I know we've been so fortunate to have your care over the years, and I'll definitely repay you when my children and I are reunited..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was coldly interrupted.

"We don't need your gratitude. If you don't want to go to jail, get out of here right now!"

Hearing the sound, everyone looked towards the courtyard gate and saw Jiang Qinyu standing there, staring coldly at Liu Yuqing, while behind her stood Lu Yanzheng, who was completely indifferent.

Liu Yuqing was a little dazed when she saw Jiang Qinyu. Back when she married Jiang Xiucai, her sister-in-law was not yet of marriageable age, and on the surface, they had a pretty good relationship.

But now that they meet again, for some reason, Liu Yuqing felt a little tremble.

"Xiaoyu, I'm your sister-in-law! Don't you recognize me?" Liu Yuqing quickly put aside her fear and cried out to Jiang Qinyu.
