Shen Limin couldn't stand this atmosphere, so he had to persuade his mother: "Mom, calm down, let others say whatever they want, just pretend you didn't hear it, right?"
He originally wanted to comfort his mother, but he didn't expect Wang Huilian to raise her hand and slap him on the head: "Am I angry with them? I'm angry with you three."
Shen Limin covered his head and wailed softly, “What does this have to do with me again?”
Wang Huilian opened her eyes and began to scold the three of them in the dark: "Shi Tou attacked me this morning, and you three just stood there and watched?"
"He's alone, and there are three of you. Isn't there anyone who can help me get revenge?"
"I really gave birth to you two in vain. What's the point of having you two?"
Shen Limin always thought that his mother was angry because she had a quarrel with other old women in the field, but he didn't expect it was because of what happened with Shi Tou in the morning.
Shen Limin, who understood, shrank his head into the quilt and argued softly: "Aren't my father and brother in front? I didn't go up because I saw they didn't do it..."
Neither Shen Chunshu nor Shen Weimin said anything.
The dark room fell silent again.
Wang Huilian then choked up and cried, "I have a husband and a son, but in the end, outsiders have bullied me and no one has stood up for me. What's the point of living?"
"Okay, have you said enough? Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted Shitou to be your son-in-law? Why are you provoking him again now?" Shen Chunshu spoke impatiently.
"What? Who is whose son-in-law? Shitou?" Shen Limin immediately got out of bed upon hearing this and asked curiously.
Then he asked excitedly: "Isn't Shitou Shen Siyue's man? Are you going to recognize Shen Siyue as your daughter?"
What's going on?
Shen Limin had a question mark on his forehead.
Wang Huilian: “Shut up, our family and Shen Siyue have an irreconcilable feud, I want to peel her skin and drink her blood, how can I recognize her as my daughter?”
Shen Limin asked, "Then my father said you want Shitou to be your uncle?"
Wang Huilian sighed at this time: “I’m still thinking about waiting for your sister to come out of prison and let Shen Siyue give her a place.”
"I used to think that Shitou was not cared for and neglected, but now I think I can enjoy happiness if I marry him."
"You don't have to work in the fields, and it looks like the food is good. If your sister marries him, she won't have the pressure of her parents-in-law, and her life will be pretty good."
"Will Shen Siyue be willing to give up the place?" Shen Limin expressed his doubt.
That guy Shen Siyue is not someone who is easy to talk to!
Wang Huilian rolled her eyes in the dark and sneered disdainfully: "How can she compare with your sister? By then, Shitou will also be married for the second time, what is there for him to dislike?"
"As long as your sister shows a little bit of kindness to him, he will come over obediently. Your sister has a father, a mother, and brothers."
At this time, Shen Weimin suddenly asked, "How many years will Hongmei be sentenced?"
As soon as this question came out, the room suddenly became quiet.
After a long while, Wang Huilian's voice finally came back: "Only four or five years, right? Didn't you only get four and a half years?"
In the past, Wang Huilian believed that if one killed someone, one must pay with his life, but after Shen Laoer was sentenced to four and a half years in prison, she felt that killing was not so scary.
In her opinion, since both were murders, Hongmei's outcome should be similar to Shen Xiashu's.
So even though she felt ashamed and sad, overall, there was already one person in the family who was in jail, so another one was not so unacceptable.
But Shen Weimin continued, “Hongmei and I are in a different situation, right?”
"When the police asked us whether we wanted compensation or whether we wanted to investigate, we said no. So will the Zhao family also not investigate? Will the Zhao family ask us to pay?"
"No...can't it be?" Wang Huilian was shocked when she heard it.
She never thought about these things.
"What compensation do we need? Hongmei is now a member of their family since she married into their family. It is not our turn to pay." Shen Chunshu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"I haven't severed my relationship with her. I'm already very kind to let her come home after she's released from prison. If you want money, I won't give her a penny."
"I raised her to this age, not to embarrass me and lose money!"
Wang Huilian felt uncomfortable listening to this, but she didn't know how to refute Shen Chunshu.
As a woman, you are considered a member of the family only before you get married.
But once you get married, you are a married woman, like water spilled, and there is no way to take it back.
"Zhao...Zhao Ping'an should know that he can't ask for money." Wang Huilian said guiltily.
Shen Limin, who was very curious, immediately asked: "What does Zhao Ping'an have in mind? Will he side with his father?"
Wang Huilian slapped him again in anger: "Just go to sleep, why are you talking so much? Shut up now."
Now no one in the room spoke anymore.
But after what Shen Weimin said that day, Wang Huilian was always worried, fearing that the police would come and notify her one day and ask her to pay a fine for her daughter.
But after waiting for several days and seeing no movement, she began to relax again.
During this period, Wang Huilian also thought of going to the town’s public security bureau to ask what was going on.
It has been more than a month, and Hongmei's case has not been concluded yet.
But Shen Chunshu didn't want to go.
He felt that it was useless to go and it would only waste his time.
If you have that much time, why not work hard and earn work points?
Since Chen Chunshu was not going, Wang Huilian did not dare to go alone and could only give up the idea.
After a while, that day, when it was almost time to go to work in the afternoon, the Shen family was just about to go out, but unexpectedly, Liu Changshan came to the Shen family with a heavy face.
He stopped Shen Chunshu and others who were about to go out: "I have something to say, come in!"
Chen Chunshu and the others were somewhat puzzled, but they all obediently returned to the house.
It was not until all the Shen family members arrived that Liu Changshan spoke with some sadness: "The sentencing notice for your Hongmei has come down."
As soon as Liu Changshan finished speaking, Wang Huilian's heart rose to her throat. She couldn't help but ask, "How many years was he sentenced to?"
Liu Changshan looked at her worried expression and felt a little sorry for her, but he still told her the result: "She was sentenced...to death. The police said that you can go see her for the last time in the next few days."
"..." Wang Huilian looked at Liu Changshan, opened her mouth silently for a long time, and finally fell back straight down.
"Mom? Mom?" Shen Weimin and Shen Limin hurried forward to support her.
Chen Chunshu stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief: "How is this possible? How could... he be sentenced to death? The second brother was only sentenced to 4 and a half years, how could Hongmei be sentenced to death?"
