Chen Tan was not interested in what others thought, but the horrified looks in the eyes of the two Shen family members made her feel quite good.

She looked at Shi Wenju and said, "Accountant Shi, I saw it with my own eyes. It was Chen Yinhua who accepted Qin Li's bicycle and a hundred yuan betrothal gift.

She took the money and didn't want to get married, so Shen Changwang asked me to marry in her place. I didn't want to, so the two of them beat me with bamboo sticks and forced me to marry Qin Li. All the neighbors in the Shen family knew about this."

The neighbors she was talking about were the girls who followed Chen Yinhua to ask Chen Tan for money that day.

They hid in the crowd and didn't dare to move forward, fearing that Qin Li would suddenly appear and beat them up.

Chen Tan glanced at them and continued, "I was afraid of being beaten to death by them, so I was forced to agree to the marriage. After being taken back by Qin Li, it took me over a month to heal my injuries. Aunt Wu and Doctor Xie can both prove this."

As she spoke, her voice softened, her eyes reddened, and she choked with sobs, pitifully saying, "There's no other family like the Shen family in the entire county. I can choose not to sue them for the sake of the brigade's reputation. I just hope I'll have nothing to do with them from now on."

Shen Changwang realized at this moment that he had been tricked by Shen Tan.

Looking at her fair face and brand new clothes, I can conclude that she is living well in the Qin family, so how can I break off the engagement?

He raised his hand and hit Chen Tan, "You stupid girl, I'm going to beat you to death. We gave birth to you and raised you all our lives, and now you've grown independent and don't want to care about us anymore, you're dreaming."

Hu Cuifen also shouted, "This is a new society. If children don't support their parents, that's a crime. I'll go to the police station and sue you."

"Ah, help, Dad, Mom, please stop hitting me, it hurts!"

When Chen Tan twisted his body to avoid Shen Changwang's slap, he pretended to lose his balance and bumped into his waist hard.

This scene came unexpectedly.

By the time everyone reacted, Shen Changwang was lying on the ground, covering his lower back with his hands and howling.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chen Tan's dodging was a conditioned reflex after years of beatings.

With her trembling body and frightened expression, everyone looked at Shen Changwang and started cursing.

"Chen Changwang, you really don't act like a father at all. Caihua is such a good child, but it's really unlucky for her to be born in your family."

"I remember when Caihua was just over a year old, they forced her to wash clothes and cook. From childhood to adulthood, she was tortured like a nobody."

Wu Xia held Chen Tan in her arms, pointed at Shen Changwang and cursed, "You damned thing, she is your daughter. She has been earning work points for many years and is more capable than the men in the village.

You don't like her, that's all, but you're hitting her. Are you worthy of being a father?"

Hu Cuifen looked at Chen Tan sinisterly, and felt an urge to kill her.

She helped Shen Changwang up and shouted unreasonably, "I raised her. I can beat her whenever I want. What's it to you?"

"Others can't control it, but I can!"

Shi Wenju felt that he was being used by Chen Tan and was very annoyed.

All of this was caused by Chen Tan's biological mother, Hu Cuifen. Seeing that she was still arguing, she directly made a loud judgment.

"I have made the decision today. The betrothal gifts given by the Qin family can be considered as buying out the relationship between you and Shen Caihua. From now on, Caihua will have nothing to do with your Shen family.

If you dare to cause trouble for her again, I will not take the reward from the Progress Team, but I will hand you two over as marriage fraud criminals."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone applauded.

The educated youth who worked as teachers in the village started talking about Shen Jinbao.

"We don't want to teach children like this. Shen Jinbao should not come to the school anymore."

"That child is very bad, and I don't want to teach him."

"I'd rather stop being a teacher than see Shen Jinbao."

Shen Changwang's face turned red after hearing what they said, but he didn't dare to scold them anymore.

He stiffened his neck and roared, "It's fine if we break it off. I have many daughters, one more or one less, it doesn't matter."

When Hu Cuifen heard that the educated youth teacher would not allow her son to go to school, she also admitted her mistake and said angrily, "Just think of it as raising an ungrateful person."

After they finished speaking, they glared at Chen Tan fiercely and walked away supporting each other.

Chen Tan watched Chen Changwang rubbing his waist constantly, and the corners of his lips curved down.

She had just used her hidden strength, which was enough to injure the ligaments on Shen Changwang's spine, in this era when people had nothing to eat or drink and couldn't afford medicine.

It won't be long before Shen Changwang's spine becomes loose and falls off, and he will suffer from back pain from then on, and he will have to lie in bed for the rest of his life.

It can also be considered as helping the original owner to get back some interest.

"Okay, stop crying. You should be happy that you no longer have such parents like them." Meng Wenwu, who was clear-headed, picked up two pieces of meat and put them in Wu Xia's basket. "You guys should go back quickly."

Ever since Chen Tan didn't say she was Chen Caihua at the beginning, he guessed that she was up to something.

Fortunately, he didn't interrupt and ruin her business.

"Thank you, Captain, and Accountant Shi. We are back."

Wu Xia smiled gratefully and left with Chen Tan.

On the way back, she felt guilty, "Tan Nier, it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you out."

"Aunt, he didn't hit me. Besides, I want to thank you for bringing me out. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Shen family. Isn't that good?"

Chen Tan put his arm around her and asked with a smile.

"Okay, okay, from now on we don't have to associate with that black-hearted family anymore," Wu Xia hugged Chen Tan lovingly, "From now on, auntie will be your mother."

Chen Tan leaned on her shoulder and sighed secretly in his heart. The more ties there are, the harder it will be to break them in the future.

It was almost noon when the two returned home.

Chen Tan didn't know whether Qin Li would come back, but he still made a sumptuous lunch.

Braised spare ribs, steamed sausages, steamed pork with rice flour, stir-fried cabbage hearts, and rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice.

Qin Qiuniang now has sharp eyes and nimble legs. With her guidance, the dishes made by Chen Tan are as delicious and tasty as those made by five-star chefs in later generations.

"You just finished your confinement period, so you need to replenish your energy. There's a pig's stomach in the ice tank. Stew it tonight."

Qin Qiuniang scooped a bowl of meatball soup and tasted it slowly.

There is nothing wrapped inside the meatballs, they are refreshing, smooth and chewy.

Although she had lost a few teeth, she still had no trouble eating.

"Granny, I've gained weight. If I keep eating more, I'll turn into a pig."

Chen Tan has gained a lot of weight during this period.

My cheeks used to be sunken, but now they are round and plump, like a soft and sticky bun.

"Girls should pay attention to their appearance, but compared to a good body, nothing else matters. You've suffered so much since childhood, you need to take good care of your body."

After the New Year, Tanier was eighteen years old and old enough to consummate her marriage.

Li'er is very concerned. If the two of them can be together, she can help take care of their children for a few years.

Boom boom boom!

The gate rang, and Heizi in the yard stared at the gate coldly.

The person who came was neither Qin Li nor someone from Aunt Wu's family.

The old lady's face turned cold, and she stood up with the help of the dining table. "Close the kitchen door."

With that, the man went out.

"Yeah." Chen Tan closed the kitchen door and followed her.

At the old lady's signal, she opened the gate.
