Chapter 120 Exorbitant Bride Price
She looked up at Chen Cuifen, her lips moved, but she ultimately said nothing.
Shen Cuifen took the letter severing ties with her family and quickly scanned its contents.
She took a deep breath and signed her name without hesitation.
She signed all three letters of severance of ties neatly, without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Zhongping and Lu Zhonghe had already signed their names beforehand.
Shen Cuifen picked up the two severance papers that belonged to them and handed them back.
"From now on, we'll go our separate ways, and no one will recognize anyone else."
She spoke slowly and deliberately.
The two brothers' faces were filled with disdain and indifference.
They took the letter of severance, stuffed it into their pockets, and turned to leave.
Just as Shen Cuifen was about to turn around and go back to the main room to wait for Lu Jianguo to prepare the divorce documents so that they could go through the formalities.
Zhou Yangyu's sharp and sarcastic voice suddenly came from the courtyard gate.
"Oh dear! Zhonghe, Zhongping, what are you doing? Cuifen is your own mother, how can you just cut ties with her like that!"
She feigned surprise and insincere concern, but her eyes were full of schadenfreude.
"Take Aunt Yang Yu's advice. No matter what, she's still your mother!"
She continued speaking, her voice growing louder and louder, as if she were the one most qualified to judge right and wrong. As she spoke, she shook her head and sighed, putting on a heartbroken expression.
Upon hearing this, Shen Cuifen immediately flew into a rage.
She originally thought that Lu Jianguo was the one who really made a mistake.
As for Zhou Yangyu, she can also be considered one of the victims.
Last night, she publicly gave the other party a good beating, which was a way of venting her anger.
But this person just wouldn't stop, and kept jumping out again and again.
This isn't trying to reconcile them; it's practically kicking her in the face.
She had just taken a step, but before her foot touched the ground, she suddenly stopped.
Immediately, she turned around and walked quickly towards Zhou Yangyu.
A sharp slap echoed through the courtyard.
Zhou Yangyu staggered from the slap, slipped, and fell heavily to the ground.
To Shen Cuifen's utter surprise,
Lu Zhong and Lu Zhongping rushed over like two arrows released from a bow, trying to help Zhou Yangyu.
This is absolutely absurd!
She was beaten black and blue by Lu Jianguo back then.
These two so-called sons didn't even bother to lift their eyelids.
"Are you just asking for a beating? Is your brain full of mush, or did your ancestors for eighteen generations live by selling themselves cheap?"
Shen Cuifen roared through gritted teeth.
"Zhou Yangyu! I haven't even made room for you yet, and you're already rushing to climb into my room and become a stepmother? You really think I can't handle you? Today I'll show you what it means to be arrogant!"
Zhou Yangyu collapsed to the ground, one hand tightly covering her burning cheek.
Her lips were bitten until they turned white.
“Sister Cuifen…I really didn’t mean that…I’m a mother myself now, and I can’t bear to see children suffer…Seeing them caught in the middle and suffering is like having my heart cut by a knife…”
Her voice was choked with emotion.
Just then, Lu Jianguo also came running over, limping.
Ignoring his leg pain, he shoved Shen Cuifen away.
He quickly squatted down and helped Zhou Yangyu up from the ground.
"Yang Yu, how are you? Are you hurt? Does it hurt? Let me see!"
His tone was concerned, and his eyes were full of heartache.
"Her heart was as hard as stone, as cold as iron in an ice cellar; how could she know whether the child was sad or not!"
Lu Jianguo glared at Shen Cuifen, his tone full of sarcasm.
"She's not even as good as you, an outsider! She doesn't care about her own son, all she does is put on a show and act tough all day!"
Now, Lu Jianguo has already paid off all his debts.
The divorce was a done deal, and the court had even issued a judgment.
Without the restraints, his back suddenly straightened up.
Now that they had more confidence, they made no attempt to hide their support for Zhou Yangyu.
Zhou Yangyu glanced timidly at Shen Cuifen.
Then, she looked pitifully at Lu Zhonghe and Lu Zhongping.
She sighed softly.
“Brother Jianguo, don’t worry. From now on, when we live together, I will treat Zhonghe and Zhongping like my own sons. I will never let them lack anything in terms of food, clothing, or daily necessities. They are my lifeblood.”
She turned her head and faced Yang Juanhua.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will be just as filial to you from now on. I will do everything from serving you tea and water to washing clothes and cooking, and I will never let you worry about anything!"
The moment those words were spoken, the expressions in Lu Zhonghe's, Lu Zhongping's, and Yang Juanhua's eyes changed completely.
Lu Zhongping's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.
Lu Zhonghe lowered his head and pondered: The dowry of 666 yuan used to be a huge burden on me, but now someone is finally willing to take on this responsibility for me!
Yang Juanhua smiled to herself, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smoothed out.
Finally, someone has taken care of all the dirty and tiring chores around the house. I don't even have to clean up the excrement and urine that old geezer pooped on the bed anymore!
What a wonderful thing!
The entire Shen family, from Shen Cuifen to Lu Guizhen, almost vomited up their dinner from the night before after hearing this.
"Zhou Yangyu, how disgusting are you? How could you say such a thing? Where's your face? Where do you put your face?"
Shen Cuifen was so angry that she trembled all over and pointed at her nose to curse.
"You're a mother, yet you neglect your two own children and spend all your time flirting and exchanging glances with other people. Don't you ever think about who's taking care of your two kids?"
"Don't you know your own limitations? You were having a great time cheating on your husband, and now you're pretending to be a virtuous wife and loving mother? Bah!"
"Let me tell you, this land is mine. Every brick and tile was earned with my sweat and blood! If you try to act like a good person here and try to build a chastity arch, believe me, I'll kick you out and make you fall flat on your face!"
Shen Cuifen could no longer bear it and launched into a tirade against Zhou Yangyu.
Zhou Yangyu was so scolded by Shen Cuifen that she couldn't lift her head, and she could no longer hold back her tears.
Lu Jianguo stood aside, feeling heartbroken.
His lips moved, but he never dared to speak.
Actually, he wanted to say a few words of justice for Zhou Yangyu, but he knew Shen Cuifen's temper all too well; she would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.
He was afraid, really afraid, that he would get beaten up the moment he opened his mouth.
Lu Zhongping glared fiercely at Shen Cuifen.
Suddenly, his knees buckled, and he knelt heavily in front of Zhou Yangyu with a thud.
"Aunt Yang Yu! From now on, you are my mother!"
After saying that, he deliberately turned his head and grinned at Shen Cuifen.
That smile carried blatant provocation and mockery.
Shen Cuifen rolled her eyes, utterly speechless.
What's this?
Who is this performance for?
Are children playing house?
Kneeling in public, making it seem like it's real?
She had already signed the severance document, it was in black and white, and she pressed her fingerprint on it, everything was clear in the law.
Who acknowledges it and who doesn't, it has nothing to do with her.
From that moment on, she severed all ties with the brothers.
When Lu Zhonghe saw how capable his younger brother was, his eyes lit up!
This is a chance to win a dowry of 666 yuan!
As long as you acknowledge Zhou Yangyu as your mother, you can get a share of the money!
