Shen Zhihuan spoke with reason and evidence, which convinced the onlookers around her.
Cao Tongwen and Wen Jun couldn't find any points to refute, so they could only shut their mouths and remain silent with livid faces.
The two of them were trying to fake their deaths, but Shen Zhihuan refused to let them off so easily.
"Since the neighbors are all here, why don't we just talk it out directly, so that everyone can witness it?"
"You'd better hurry up and get the property certificate out so we can see how much this house is actually worth."
Cao Tongwen was also afraid that the Cheng family might take her and her son to court if they disagreed, so she reluctantly took out the property certificate.
"If it's to be divided equally, then each family should get half. Our family should also have a share of this house!"
"You guys are nothing."
Cheng Xiangling sneered. As the person who knew the Wen family's situation best, besides Cheng Wan, she was present.
She directly revealed all of Cao Tongwen and Wen Jun's secrets.
“Over the years, my sister has made great sacrifices for the family. She not only gave birth to a child for your family, but also did all kinds of laundry, cooking, and housework.”
"And how did you treat her? Wen Jun only earns a pittance each month, which is not much to begin with, and his own mother keeps it tightly in her hands."
"My sister is pregnant! Cao Tongwen, instead of buying her supplements, you won't even let her eat meat or fruit. You're always trying to control my sister with money. Are you even human?!"
Everyone knows Cao Tongwen is stingy, but no one expected her family to be this stingy.
Although not everyone is wealthy these days, it's not like people are so stingy that they wouldn't even let their pregnant daughter-in-law have a meal of meat.
Any girl who marries into such a family will suffer terribly!
While everyone was discussing, Shen Zhihuan sat down on the spot and took out paper and pen to calculate the accounts for them.
Every time the Cheng family made a statement, she would write it down on a piece of paper.
These events, which may seem like they could be summed up in a single sentence, actually conceal the blood and tears of a woman.
More and more people gathered outside. They had originally come with the intention of watching a spectacle, but after hearing about the Wen family's actions, they all felt disgusted with them.
"Cao Tongwen isn't disabled and can't move, yet she still expects her daughter-in-law to serve her all day long. Isn't that bullying her?"
"That's not all. The mother and son even conspired to swindle their daughter-in-law out of her dowry. Isn't it obvious that they're after the bride's family's property and trying to bleed their daughter-in-law dry?"
"I never expected something like this to happen in our tenement. This family is a bunch of misers, they're so stingy!"
Cheng Wan stared at everything before her, as if she had lost her soul, and murmured softly.
"Perhaps it's right that I don't want to give birth to the child in my belly. Such a family would only become a burden to him."
"elder sister."
Cheng Xiangling worriedly took her arm, but Cheng Wan shook her head and said nothing, only casting her gaze on Shen Zhihuan, who was writing furiously to the side.
"Now that things have come to this, what else do you have to say?"
With a cold face, Shen Zhihuan slammed the paper in her hand heavily on the table.
"Not only do you and your son owe Wanwan so much, but there's also a life involved. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to compensate her with the entire house!"
These words immediately garnered the agreement of everyone.
The kind neighbors had long disapproved of Cao Tongwen and Wen Jun's behavior, and their various condemnations of the mother and son need no further explanation.
Even Grandma Sun, Grandma Lü, and Grandma Qian couldn't help but speak up.
“We may be a bit gossipy sometimes, but we would never do something like this to bully a pregnant daughter-in-law. It would be such a terrible thing to do.”
"Yes, the Wen family deserves to have to compensate their daughter-in-law for this house."
"If they refuse to give it, send them to court and have them shot!"
Qiu Shanshan's eyes flickered, and seeing that everyone had finished speaking, she slowly added a sentence.
“Aunt Cao, the lawyers that Sister Wanwan and I have hired are no match for you.”
"In order to avoid making things too ugly, you should agree to Sister Wanwan's request."
Cao Tongwen and Wen Jun are almost driven to the brink of despair.
Seeing that if they still disagreed, the emotional neighbors might call the police station on the spot.
The two had no choice but to sign their names on the agreement brought by the Cheng family.
Qiu Shanshan tiptoed to make sure they had finished writing before turning around and smiling at Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan.
Their familiarity made it seem as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Seeing the awkwardness and discomfort of the Cheng sisters, Shen Zhihuan frowned. When she walked over, she noticed that Qiu Shanshan's smile seemed even brighter, and her gaze was fixed on her.
Shen Zhihuan politely returned a smile, but for some reason, she felt a sense of unease.
The Cheng sisters also noticed this. Cheng Wan frowned but said nothing.
Cheng Xiangling immediately went over and took Shen Zhihuan's arm, standing guard on her side with a defensive posture, her eyes full of vigilance.
Seeing her actions, Shen Zhihuan and Cheng Wan exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
The attitudes of the three of them should have been quite clear; it was obvious that they didn't like Qiu Shanshan.
Qiu Shanshan, however, seemed oblivious and suddenly started a conversation, talking about her family and the Wen family.
"Xiangling, Wanwan, I hope you don't misunderstand. My relationship with the Wen family is really not what you think."
