Sister Liu, Aunt Zhang, and Sister Li, who were all close to Shen Zhihuan, were furious when they heard this.
"This family of inhuman beasts is absolutely wicked!"
"University is a major event that concerns Huan'er's entire life. How dare they tamper with it? That's outrageous. They're really despicable."
It would be impossible for He Ligen and Li Liucui alone to steal a student's registration.
The villagers could easily figure out that Shen Yongcai and Fang Qiaolan were definitely involved in this matter.
It's highly likely that Shen Zhihuan discovered their tampering with her student record and reported it to the police, which led to this whole situation.
"Those heartless bastards! The He family and the Shen family are utterly inhuman!"
Liu's wife, Zhang's aunt, and the others were so angry that they slapped their thighs, wishing they could take the place of the police officers and personally escort He Ligen and Li Liucui to the police station.
"You two get along very well with Shen Yongcai and Fang Qiaolan, don't you? You're all rotten to the core, so it's good that you're reunited in the detention center!"
He Ligen, looking dejected, was still shamelessly trying to plead for leniency.
“We’re all from the same village, there’s no need to go to such extremes.”
"Besides, I'm buying a school place for my daughter's future. We're all parents, you should be able to understand my feelings, right?"
"Pah, who's with you, you old dog?"
Old Mrs. Du rushed over with her cane in hand and beat He Ligen and Li Liucui until their faces were bruised and swollen.
"Your daughter is a treasure, but other people's daughters aren't either?!"
"Your selfish desires have delayed Huan'er's schooling and almost ruined her future. Such a serious crime deserves to be sentenced to several years in prison so you can reflect on your actions!"
Other onlookers, filled with righteous indignation, also chimed in with their own words.
While Panyun Village was in complete chaos, the people in the tenement were completely unaware of what was happening.
"What time is it? Why hasn't He Shuhui come back yet?"
Tao Juan didn't particularly like her adopted niece to begin with.
Seeing that it was already lunchtime and He Shuhui was still nowhere to be seen, forcing her to go out and search for her with great effort, she was extremely impatient and almost rolled her eyes to the sky.
"What the hell? They're eating and staying at other people's houses for free and acting like this."
"A chicken that came from a mountain valley, just because it went to college, actually thinks it's something special."
He Kangyong sat beside his wife, listening to her rant and rave, his expression equally unpleasant.
"Let's wait another ten minutes. If she's not back by then, let's stop waiting for her and eat by ourselves."
Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, Tao Juan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Your niece is missing, how can you, as her uncle, not worry at all? Do you know where she is right now?"
"How would I know what's going on with those college students?"
He Kangyong gave a cold laugh, his tone sarcastic.
"But given He Shuhui's personality, it's easy to guess that she's definitely hooked up with another man outside."
"They're probably eating at some fancy restaurant now, they wouldn't even look at our simple meals."
"Pah, pah, pah, why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"
Tao Juan immediately tensed up: "I've disliked your niece for a long time. She's always messing around outside. What if someone comes knocking on our door one day, ruining her own reputation and dragging us down with her?"
"I can't let someone like that stay overnight. Come over here quickly and help me throw all her things out."
"Why are you in such a hurry? He Shuhui has high standards. Even though she doesn't have much ability herself, she's always thinking about how to marry a rich and powerful man."
"Who knows, one day I might get lucky and really rise to the top and become a golden phoenix."
He Kangyong took a sip of wine with some peanuts on the table, and smacked his lips because of the spiciness.
"All we're doing is giving her food and a place to stay, making sure she doesn't freeze or starve. If she ever manages to hook up with a rich, foolish old man, we can just make her pay us back double."
When Tao Juan heard that there was something to gain, she was finally calmed down and started throwing a rag around.
"I hope He Shuhui can live up to your expectations and not end up like me, dying of anger before I even get to enjoy her blessings."
Just as anxious as the He family was waiting for news of He Shuhui, Shen Ling was also waiting for news of her.
She finally managed to escape Wang Yulian's gaze, leaned against the door and peered out for a long time, but no one came out of the alley. She was almost speechless with frustration.
"What's wrong with He Shuhui? We agreed to meet today, why hasn't she come back yet?"
While touching her belly, Shen Ling secretly made plans in her mind.
By having a child, she has now completely secured her position in the Gu family.
All that's left is to completely kick Shen Zhihuan out of the courtyard house, and then she can rest easy.
To achieve this goal, Shen Ling and He Shuhui had previously devised a simple plan.
Now they were just waiting for an opportunity to implement it, but unexpectedly He Shuhui made a mistake at this critical juncture.
Shen Ling's legs were tired from waiting at the door, and she couldn't help but grumble a few times.
“I’m pregnant, and He Shuhui still dares to make me wait this long.”
"When I see her later, I'm going to give her a good scolding!"
Cao Tongwen, who lived across the street, couldn't help but roll her eyes at the noise Shen Ling was making outside.
"What are you yelling about in broad daylight? It's so noisy."
She needs to tidy up the yard before it gets dark.
Cao Tongwen was busy moving miscellaneous items in the yard when she heard the sounds of other children running and jumping in the courtyard, and she couldn't help but straighten up.
Peeking out from the courtyard gate, I glanced at it with envy.
"It's so nice to have kids. Unlike me, I'm in my forties or fifties and I don't even have a grandson. My family is in disarray, and it's so unlucky."
Fortunately, Cheng Wan, that jinx, had a miscarriage and was hospitalized, and was seriously ill, so she wouldn't stay in their house and cause more trouble.
Cao Tongwen had it all planned out: as soon as Wen Jun and Cheng Wan got divorced, he would marry Qiu Shanshan.
She was very satisfied with her wealthy and generous future daughter-in-law.
"After Shanshan marries into the family, I must make her give me three big, fat grandsons. Only then will our family be prosperous and our Wen family bloodline continue!"
Cao Tongwen was overjoyed at the thought that Qiu Shanshan would be visiting her again in the next few days, and might even bring her some expensive gifts.
The corners of his mouth were turned up so wide that he couldn't suppress it.
Just then, Wen Jun came out of the house to get a drink of water. Cao Tongwen quickly called him over and whispered a scolding:
"When Shanshan comes next time, you'd better make a good impression. You can't afford to lose this marriage."
"Your mother is going crazy missing her grandson. If all else fails, try to find a way to let her stay overnight. Make it a done deal so I won't feel uneasy."
