Chapter 147 Qin Lanlan Reappears
"Brother Yi, I heard you were set up yesterday? What happened? Did you suffer any losses?"
Mei Ling arrived in a menacing manner, but her words were filled with genuine concern.
Jiang Ruzhen shook her head, her libido halved.
Being love-struck is really a bad thing!
She thought Mei Ling had come to confront her, but seeing the two of them being so affectionate in front of her, Jiang Ruzhen suddenly lost her appetite for the porridge.
She turned to look at the fourth brother, who was watching with great interest.
"You're going to be late for school," Jiang Ruzhen kindly reminded him.
"Mom, I've already finished my exams, I'm not going to school anymore." The fourth child was completely unaware of Jiang Ruzhen's gaze.
"Then shouldn't you go to the library and find some professional books to read?" Jiang Ruzhen continued to remind her.
The fourth son still hadn't noticed his mother's changed expression. "Wait, wait, let me watch a little longer. This scene is much more interesting than any TV drama!"
Jiang Ruzhen slammed the bowl of porridge heavily on the table, then reached out and twisted Lao Si's ear several times.
"Fourth brother, I've put up with you for a long time. Even though you're on vacation now, you just eat and sleep all day long. Aren't you afraid of getting rejected by school?"
Look, your face has gotten so much fatter!
"Ah, Mom, it hurts, it hurts..." The fourth son wailed all the way as Jiang Ruzhen dragged him upstairs, changed him into a set of sportswear, and reluctantly went out to exercise.
Jiang Ruzhen changed her clothes and went out to personally supervise Lao Si's exercise. Afterwards, she took him directly to the library.
Make room for the second son and Mei Ling to be sweet and loving.
Mei Ling looked gratefully at Jiang Ruzhen's retreating figure and said to her second brother, "Brother Yi, Mom is so good to us. I will definitely take good care of her in the future, even more so than I would my own parents."
The second brother patted Mei Ling's head and said with a smile.
"Okay, you take good care of my mom, and I'll take good care of your parents too."
Mei Ling was moved to tears by Shen Zhuoyi's words and offered him a kiss.
The second brother naturally held her in his arms, enjoying the warm and fragrant moment.
Jiang Ruzhen waited for several days until she received all the results of the Tian family's handling of the matter.
In just half a day, Huang Fang's testimony changed; she had previously insisted that Zhou Liang had raped her.
Later, for some reason, she changed her story, saying that Zhou Liang had just gone into the wrong room and mistook her for his older sister, and that nothing had actually happened between them.
The Tian family didn't have any of the conspiracies and tricks she mentioned; it was all just her own speculation.
Uncle Hat had no concrete evidence, so he released everyone.
But just two days later, I heard that Zhou Liang and Tian E had divorced, and Zhou Liang kicked Tian E and her husband, as well as Tian E and her daughter, out of the house.
Despite their long and fussing, Tian'e and her sister-in-law couldn't change the outcome, so they had no choice but to slink back to their hometown.
Later, Zhou Liang heard that Huang Fang was pregnant, and he treated her like a treasure.
Less than three months later, the two were robbed on their way home.
Zhou Liang's leg was crippled by the beating, and Huang Fang also suffered a miscarriage, losing her fertility ever since.

Zhou Liang lost his job and his unborn son, and his temper became even more volatile. He would beat and scold Huang Fang at the drop of a hat, abusing her like a human being.
Huang Fang was driven insane by his torment, and Zhou Liang sold his house and disappeared.
A few days later, news came that Tian's family had been hacked to death, and the murderer, Zhou Liang, was caught on the spot.
When Jiang Ruzhen heard this news, she just sighed twice and went to attend to her own business.
This family was just a trivial matter in her life, and she forgot about it after gossiping about it.
Of course, that's all in the future. Jiang Ruzhen is currently dragging her fourth brother, who has nothing to do during the holidays, to the library to read books.
The fourth child has already decided to study in Beijing; he's just waiting for the admission notice before reporting for duty.
Shen Shuxin has plans for the holiday; she went out with her teacher to carry out an interview assignment.
Jiang Ruzhen called her and told her that she didn't need to go back during the holiday, and that she would bring her whole family to Beijing to see her in half a month.
We'll take the whole family on a trip while we're at it.
During this time, Jiang Ruzhen wanted him to go to the library to learn some professional knowledge, which would also keep her company.
The two of them were like they had returned to their student days, leaving early and returning late every day, just like going to school.
On this day, the two set off from the library to go home. Along the way, the fourth brother excitedly told Jiang Ruzhen about some military knowledge he had read in the book that day.
Jiang Ruzhen watched with a smile when suddenly a disheveled, filthy beggar darted out from the roadside.
He knelt down directly at Jiang Ruzhen's feet, hugged her legs, and began to wail.
"Mom, I've finally found you! I've finally escaped... Please save me, please save me..."
Jiang Ruzhen was startled, and the fourth brother quickly came over and kicked her aside.
"What the hell? Is he crazy? Why is he randomly calling people 'Mom' on the street?!"
The madman who was kicked down quickly wiped his face with his sleeve, revealing his true appearance.
"Mom, little brother, it's me! It's Lanlan!"
Qin Lanlan?
Jiang Ruzhen's pupils contracted sharply, while the fourth brother gritted his teeth after his initial surprise.
"Qin Lanlan, you dare to come here again? I haven't even settled the score with you for framing my third sister back then. Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
"No, no, no, I apologize. I know I was wrong, Mom, little brother, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me, I had a terrible time with Old Hu."
As Qin Lanlan spoke, she lifted up her dirty, tattered clothes, which were riddled with holes and looked like they had been worn for an unknown amount of time.
His body was covered with layers upon layers of blue and purple whip marks and burns, countless layers of which were impossible to tell.
"Mom, please save me. For the sake of the twelve years you raised me, have pity on me and don't let me go back to that hellhole, okay?"
Jiang Ruzhen looked calmly at the wounds on Qin Lanlan's body. She was indeed not having a good time with Old Hu, so Jiang Ruzhen was relieved.
However, her mind was racing. Qin Lanlan had managed to escape even under Old Hu's tight surveillance, which showed that she was indeed quite capable.
I had originally intended to let her live a little longer, to torment her and vent my hatred, but now...
She was trying to figure out how to get rid of Qin Lanlan silently without getting her hands stained with Qin Lanlan's dirty blood.
Within a few breaths, she had already come up with a plan.
She sighed and helped her up. "Lanlan, Mom has feelings for you. It's a pity you insist on siding with your own mother and brother."
They even helped them do so many bad things to me. I scolded and beat you back then because I wanted what was best for you. I was afraid you would learn bad things from them and go astray.
I hope you understand how a mother feels. Will you try to live happily with me from now on?
Upon hearing that there was a chance, Qin Lanlan disregarded everything else, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Jiang Ruzhen, tears streaming down her face.
As long as Jiang Ruzhen takes her in, she'll do anything.
First, escape from that hellhole of Old Hu's family, and then slowly win back Jiang Ruzhen and her brothers and sisters' hearts.
She simply couldn't believe that a family that had been foolish for so many years could suddenly wake up and become smart.
These past few days, while on the run, I've been hearing that the Shen family has become wealthy, which means she can go back to living like a princess and having her whole family serve her.
Qin Lanlan lowered her head, her eyes revealing extreme greed and ambition.
