Chapter 8 Where Did the Two Hundred Thousand Yuan Go?
"What did you say?"
Everyone thought they had heard wrongly.
Shen Ru looked at her younger brother in great surprise.
"I said this marriage cannot be divorced." Shen Ming reiterated.
Now even his wife Lu Qionghua was puzzled.
"Jiang Tianming not only keeps a woman, he even has a child with her. Furthermore, he tricked my eldest sister into serving his lover, treating her even better than my eldest sister. You told my eldest sister not to divorce, and you're just going to put up with it?"
"Shen Ming, this is our eldest sister!"
As a younger brother, instead of helping his elder sister to vent her anger and find a solution, he actually asked her to swallow her anger for such a conscienceless man?
It’s so wrong!
Shen Ru felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything unpleasant. "I have made up my mind and I won't change it."
I hesitated before because I was afraid of other people’s opinions and afraid that my life would be worse than it is now.
After her mother's persuasion, she finally came to her senses.
It's not her fault, and it has nothing to do with her what others think or see.
Compared to her and her daughter Qiqi, Jiang Tianming now obviously pays more attention to Shu Yunyun and her son.
She didn't want to be trapped in her marriage and fight with Jiang Tianming and the mistress for the rest of her life, so she might as well take this opportunity to break free from the quagmire of the Jiang family.
"Sister! Jiang Tianming is at the peak of his career, and you know he earns hundreds of thousands a year. You've been married to Jiang Tianming for over a decade, and he's making money now, yet you're handing this cash cow over to someone else. Are you willing to accept that?"
"Men are all like this. No matter how much he spends playing outside, as long as he can make money and comes home, he will recognize you as his wife. As a wife, you should turn a blind eye, be more open-minded and generous. Will he make things difficult for you? Women outside are just for fun. Only the wife at home is family."
Chen Baomei's fingers were already crackling, but Shen Ming didn't notice because he was concentrating on persuading his sister not to get a divorce.
"Besides, since you didn't give your brother-in-law a son, isn't it normal for him to look for someone else outside? At worst, we can put pressure on him and ask him to give some money to get rid of that woman outside, and bring the child back to you to raise while he's still young. With a son by your side, you don't have to worry about his heart not being with you..."
Chen Baomei brought a large basin of cold water and poured it all over him.
Shen Ming was drenched from head to toe.
He was so angry that he jumped up and down, and yelled at Chen Baomei in frustration, "Mom! Why did you splash me?!"
Chen Baomei swung the plastic basin and smashed it at Shen Ming.
"Get out of here, you bastard!"
The conscienceless wolf cub thought that others didn't know his plan?
Jiang Tianming and his men were doing maintenance and repairs at his auto repair shop. This was probably because he was afraid that Shen Ru would break up with Jiang Tianming and stop taking care of his business.
Come to think of it, he could have starved his own mother to death in his previous life, so a sister would be nothing to him.
He is a profit-oriented bastard!
"I just told a few truths, is that so serious?"
Shen Ming pulled the towel hanging on the rope to wipe his head, his tone quite complaining.
"Jiang Tianming is willing to support her, that's her blessing. She can't carry anything, how will she live without Jiang Tianming? You are too idealistic, don't you think about my eldest sister's current situation?"
Chen Baomei immediately picked up the broom and chased him away, "Are you going to leave or not?"
"I'm leaving! Can't I just leave? Your kindness is taken for granted. I want to see what kind of good man my eldest sister can find after her divorce!"
Shen Ming was beaten by his mother with a broom, and he ran out of the door with his teeth grimacing, saying cruel words, and drove away quickly.
When Chen Baomei turned around, she saw Lu Qionghua standing there with a pale face and a dazed look on his face.
Shen Qin cursed, "This second brother is really unreasonable! Don't worry about it, sister-in-law, and don't listen to the second brother, big sister."
Lu Qionghua and Shen Ming had been married for many years but had no children. In order to have a child, Lu Qionghua went to the hospital for treatment, had acupuncture, and took various folk remedies. She suffered a lot.
I tried so hard but still couldn't get pregnant.
Shen Ming is already thirty years old, but he has no children.
Although Shen Ming's words were meant to persuade Shen Ru, they also revealed his true thoughts.
For him, life cannot be without children.
Not only do I want to have a child, but I want to have a son.
Lu Qionghua felt bitter, but she didn't dare show any sadness.
She shook her head slightly, her grin uglier than crying, "It's okay."
Turning to Chen Baomei, he said, "Mom, I'm tired and I'm going back to my room to rest."
Chen Baomei patted her shoulder and said, "Go ahead."
No one took Shen Ming's opinion seriously, but his extremely harsh words had some impact on Shen Ru.
Chen Baomei sent the video she recorded at Shu Yunyun's place during the day to Chen Ru. The four of them discussed it and drew up a set of rules for Chen Ru.
Originally, Chen Baomei wanted to go with her daughter to find a lawyer tomorrow, but since her two younger brothers, the eldest and the third, were there, Chen Baomei decided not to join in the fun.
Lu Qionghua had been raising pigs for her for several days, and she had to take over tomorrow.
When Shen Xingguo didn't come back all night, Chen Baomei just acted as if he didn't exist and continued doing what she had to do.
Brothers Shen Qin and Shen Rui stayed at home at night and did not return to the city. They drove Shen Ru to the city early in the morning and went straight to the law firm.
After all the trouble yesterday and having just recovered from a serious illness, Chen Baomei was too tired and got up a little late today.
When I got up, the three siblings had left, but Lu Qionghua was still there.
Chen Baomei wondered, "Why didn't you go back with them?"
Shen Ming ran away in a hurry yesterday and even forgot to bring his daughter-in-law with him. Chen Baomei thought that Lu Qionghua would take their car back with him.
"Mom, you're not fully recovered yet, so you shouldn't work hard. I'll work for a few more days."
She muttered quietly, "It's all work at the car dealership and at home, so there's no difference."
Before getting married, Lu Qionghua worked as a waiter in a restaurant. After marrying Shen Ming, she lost her job.
Now I work in a car dealership helping with cooking, washing cars, and doing some odd jobs.
They are all family members, so Shen Ming never thought about paying her a salary. Apart from money for groceries, Shen Ming would occasionally give her some pocket money.
Before, Chen Baomei didn’t understand how the couple got along. After the incident, she realized that her daughter-in-law was having such a hard time.
She didn't want to force Lu Qionghua, so she just followed her own wishes.
"That's fine, it's up to you."
Lu Qionghua's worry turned into joy, and her face was full of smiles.
"Mom, I've prepared breakfast and it's warming on the stove. Go and eat it."
Chen Baomei asked her if she had eaten, and she said she had eaten with Chen Ru and the others.
After saying that, he put on his rain boots, got on his tricycle and headed straight for the pig farm.
Thick black rice porridge was warming on the stove, and the side dishes included fried eggs, stir-fried vegetables with shredded pork, and even cut fruit.
Chen Baomei shook her head. This child was too hardworking and too honest.
It would be fine if you met someone with a conscience, but meeting a heartless bastard like Shen Ming would be really unlucky.
With Lu Qionghua's help, she felt more relaxed.
After breakfast, Chen Baomei went back to her room and searched through the drawers and found Shen Xingguo's passbook.
All the money earned from the pig farm over the years has been saved in this passbook. The family earns a lot of money, but also spends a lot.
She gave red envelopes to her grandson during the holidays, and also gave some money to support any family in need, so her savings were not much. Chen Baomei estimated that there should be about 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, but when she opened the document, she found that there was only a little over 290,000 yuan left.
In the past six months alone, Shen Xingguo has withdrawn a total of 260,000 yuan.
Buying feed costs at most 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. Some time ago, Shen Xingguo signed up for a high-end tour group to the imperial capital, which said that food, accommodation and transportation were all included and there was no shopping. It cost a little over 10,000 yuan.
Apart from these, there is simply no other place to spend money this year.
In total, two hundred thousand yuan is missing.
Looking at the continuous expenditures on the report, Chen Baomei still had nothing to understand.
It turns out that all the money was spent on that vixen outside!
