Chapter 55 Trading Life for Money
When her adorable niece beckoned to her with her finger, Chen Baoping's anger instantly vanished, and she gracefully walked out of the encirclement.
"Shushu, why did you come here? There are a lot of people here, don't let yourself get crowded."
Yun Wangshu leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words. Chen Baoping's face changed drastically, and she stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "My God, is that possible?"
Yun Wangshu tilted her head and glanced at Zhu Haomei, "We'll find out if we just ask."
Chen Baoping remained silent for a moment. If that were really the case, it would be too unbelievable. Did she even have a brain?
Unable to understand, and too lazy to think about it anymore, Chen Baoping walked over to Zhu Haomei with a stern face and angrily shouted at the onlookers, "Aren't you going to eat? Hurry up and go back, don't watch every little spectacle!"
"Both of you, come inside with me!"
Chen Baoping aggressively led Shen Yifan and Zhu Haomei into the house. Seeing that there was no follow-up, the others all left dejectedly, except for Yun Wangshu, who retreated to a deserted corner and did not leave.
She changed her position and once again extended her divine sense to find the two people mentioned in the testimonies.
Inside the room, Shen Yifan and Zhu Haomei remained silent, like two stubborn donkeys that couldn't speak, each trying to outlast the other through passive-aggressive behavior.
Chen Baoping's lips twitched. She hated bottles the most and wished she could smash them all, but at this moment, that wasn't what angered her.
She rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and looked like an angry lion: "Zhu Haomei, I'll ask you one question today: are you planning to become a martyr and leave a pension for your daughter?"
Zhu Haomei froze instantly, then abruptly looked up at Zhu Baoping: How did she know?!
Shen Yifan was completely bewildered: "Sister-in-law, what are you saying?"
Seeing Zhu Haomei's reaction, Chen Baoping understood everything. Her expression twisted with anger: "What did I say? I said your wife insisted on returning to the army because she was willing to sacrifice herself. She wanted to risk her life to earn money for your daughter's survival!"
Shen Yifan's mind went blank for a moment. He felt that he must have not read enough books, otherwise how could he not understand his sister-in-law's words?
What does it mean to risk your life to earn money for your daughter?
He stared stiffly at Zhu Haomei, who was equally stiff, opened his mouth, and then closed it weakly again.
Shen Yifan didn't know what to say. Wasn't this ridiculous? How could this be?
But deep down he knew that this might be true, and that it would explain why Zhu Haomei, despite being very worried about her daughter, was determined to return to the front line.
But... but why is that?
Did she really think that without her mother's devoted care, their daughter would live a good life and live a long life just because she was rich?
No, no one else would be that stupid!
By the time Shen Yifan came to his senses, he was already in tears.

Yun Wangshu curled her lips. She had found the rats' nests. One was only five households away from the Shen family, and the other was 200 meters to the northwest, which was considered the edge of the family compound.
This residential compound is really big. Maybe it's because the land is cheap in the middle of nowhere, but there's a huge distance between the courtyards. It's quite luxurious.
Chen Baoping came out not long after. Seeing Yun Wangshu still waiting for her, she felt a warmth in her heart: "Shushu, why didn't you go home and wait?"
Yun Wangshu smiled and said, "Let's go back together with Auntie."
Chen Baoping's bad mood vanished instantly, and she grinned, saying, "Okay, okay, let's go back together."
"But Shushu, how did you know what Zhu Haomei was thinking?"
"Just a guess."
"Guessed? You guessed very accurately!"
"Actually, the truth was written on her face, and I saw it more clearly than others."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"It's because I'm smart."
"Yes, yes, our Shushu is the smartest."
