"Get in the car first, then tell the driver where you are!"
They quickly got into the car, and the driver immediately drove onto the main road.
Su Lan was extremely flustered. "Driver, do you know where Chenhua Village is?"
The man replied, "I know that. You can sit here and relax. We'll talk about it when we get to the village."
Knowing that the driver recognized Lu Sulan, she stopped talking; she was really anxious.

On the other side.
Grandma Ma came out of the house and saw her eldest son still kneeling there, his face pale and his lips swollen and bleeding, but he still looked stiff.
"Zhou Cheng, just listen to your mother and get a divorce!"
“I won’t leave!” Zhou Cheng said.
Grandma Ma thought that her son had been corrupted by his daughter-in-law. She had been thinking about this all this time. Later, when her younger son needed money, they made up a lie and arranged for someone to deliver a message, which tricked Zhou Cheng into coming back from the city.
"Then kneel down if you won't divorce me!" she said cruelly. "You're the son I raised with my own hands, why should you let an outsider benefit from you!"
Zhou Cheng stood up, utterly heartbroken. "Mom, I thought that as long as I knelt down, your anger would subside. But it seems that's not the case. So let's end this relationship between us!"
"What do you mean by that?" Old Ma demanded in a loud voice.
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Wen came out of the house. Seeing his older brother stand up, he immediately ran over and stood in front of his mother.
What do you want to do?
"What I want to do is none of your business." Zhou Cheng looked at his younger brother, who was spoiled rotten by their parents. "We're from the countryside. Marriage is a lifelong commitment. You think you can just get a divorce like that and then expect me to give you money and find you another wife? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
Zhou Wen said, "You're my older brother, so you should take care of me. You're doing so well, and I'm just asking you for some money. Look at how stingy you are, you don't deserve to be my older brother!"
Zhou Cheng knew that his younger brother's values were completely destroyed, and he didn't want to argue with them. He would never go back to this house.
He hated himself for compromising before!
"Then I will no longer be your elder brother, and from today onwards we will have nothing to do with each other!"
"You—" Zhou Wen didn't expect his older brother to be so stubborn. He saw that the person was about to leave, and if the person left, he would have no money for his wedding.
So he quickly took a few steps and grabbed his older brother's shoulder.
Driven to desperation, Zhou Cheng turned around and punched his younger brother in the face.
His nose started bleeding instantly; it was the first time in his life he had ever hit his younger brother.
"Are you crazy?!" Old Mrs. Ma was heartbroken to see her youngest son being beaten and started shouting loudly.
Zhou Cheng ignored them, turned around, kicked the door open, and walked out confidently.
What trapped him wasn't the door, but the last vestige of family affection!
He thought his tolerance would bring peace to his family, but now it seems he was too foolish!
Zhou Wen covered his nose and chased after him, shouting at his retreating figure.
"Murder! My brother killed someone!"
He knew he couldn't beat his older brother, so he could only hope that the villagers could control the man.
After shouting several times, someone came out and blocked Zhou Cheng's way.
Looking at his fellow villagers, Zhou Cheng could only explain to them, "I had a little conflict with my family, I didn't kill anyone, and now I'm leaving!"
Those people didn't know what was going on, but seeing Zhou Wen's face covered in blood made them feel that something was amiss.
They involuntarily made way for each other, not wanting to get involved.
Zhou Cheng walked out through the gap. He hadn't had a drop of water for two days and two nights, and his feet felt like they were walking on cotton. He wanted to walk home.
He really wants to see his wife right now!
When Zhou Wen saw those people release the person, he blurted out,
"My brother killed my mother, why didn't you stop him!"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately chased after Zhou Cheng and stopped him.
It's one thing for the two brothers to fight, but for a son to kill his mother is a serious matter!
Zhou Cheng was furious. "I'll say it again, I didn't kill anyone! My mother is perfectly fine at home!"
At this moment, Zhou Wen caught up and grabbed his brother by the collar, saying, "You're coming back with me. You're not leaving the house until you explain yourself!"
"Let me go!" Zhou Cheng said coldly.
"I won't!" Zhou Wen, relying on the number of people around him, felt fearless and thought he could definitely get his brother under control today.
Unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Cheng punched his younger brother again, this time with more force, instantly knocking him to the ground.
The people around gasped in fright and then began to back away.
The van drove up from a distance, and when the driver saw a group of people gathered there, he had no choice but to stop.
Su Lan got out of the car and looked into the crowd. She spotted Zhou Cheng's clothes at a glance and rushed over without hesitation.
