Qiu Shanshan also actively chimed in with her comments.
“Sister Xiangling is right. It will take at most three days. If you are not satisfied, my Qiu family has some connections in the capital.”
“I don’t mind using my parents’ connections to find the best lawyer for Sister Wanwan to fight you in court.”
Neither the Qiu family nor the Cheng family are easy to mess with.
Not to mention that Wen Jun and Cao Tongwen were the ones who harmed others first. If this really goes to court, they have absolutely no chance of winning.
If that time really comes and Cheng Xiangling's words come true, what will happen if they lose their house and their lives as well?
Wen Jun listened to his mother's words and plotted for so long, but he got nothing in return.
He was both anxious and angry, his face turned deathly pale, and he murmured to himself as if he had lost his soul.
“I advised you against this from the beginning, but you insisted on forcing me to persecute Cheng Wan.”
"Now look what's happened! You've ruined our family, and it's too late for us to regret it!"
Cao Tongwen always says that others are jinxes, but if you ask him, his own mother is the most hateful jinx!
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, even his own son betrayed him, standing on the opposite side and blaming him.
Cao Tongwen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but fall to the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing.
"A bunch of heartless bastards! You all conspired together to murder me!"
"I'm so old, I've lost my eldest grandson, and I have no house to live in. How am I supposed to live? Are you trying to force me to my death?!"
Qiu Shanshan sneered and remained silent, and the Cheng family naturally wouldn't soften their stance.
"How dare you mention your grandson? If that child knew what was happening in the afterlife, he would definitely come looking for you, the murderer, to take revenge."
Cheng Wan felt a sharp pain in her heart when she recalled her innocent child who had lost his life.
Seeing Wen Jun looking at her with pleading eyes, she opened her pale lips, and although the sound she made was faint, there was no room for negotiation.
"The thought that my child was killed by you makes me toss and turn every night, unable to fall asleep."
"No matter what, I'm determined to get a divorce. If you don't agree to my family's demands, then see you in court."
The fact that even the usually gentle Cheng Wan has been forced to this point shows that there is no room for negotiation anymore.
They are determined to see this divorce through to the end.
Cao Tongwen was so anxious that her breathing became rapid, but she really didn't know what to say to gain Cheng Wan's forgiveness.
The situation had become extremely urgent. She turned her head and saw those old women carrying stools, sitting in front of their house and eating sunflower seeds.
The way they were watching with such relish clearly showed they were amused by their family's misfortune!
Cao Tongwen was so angry that she fainted on the spot.
Grandma Qian, Grandma Lü, and Grandma Sun were startled and jumped up from their stools.
"This is terrible! Cao Tongwen is so angry she's practically died!"
The commotion caused by the Wen family instantly alerted all the neighbors in the courtyard.
As more and more people came out to watch the spectacle, the Cheng family became a little nervous.
They came here simply to demand an explanation for Cheng Wan.
But if Cao Tongwen is really angered to death by them, then they will go from being in the right to being in the wrong.
Just as she was worrying, Song Xunying caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Isn't that Miss Shen?"
When Cheng Xiangling and Cheng Wan saw Shen Zhihuan, they were so excited that they almost cried, as if they had seen a savior.
"Sister Zhihuan!"
"Zhihuan!"
The two sisters ran to Shen Zhihuan and took her hands, one on each side, pleading for help with teary eyes.
"We were just talking when Cao Tongwen suddenly fainted. Please help me take a look."
Without saying a word, Shen Zhihuan took on the task.
"I came to check after hearing the noise. Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."
As she turned to walk towards Cao Tongwen, she pulled an acupuncture needle from the cloth bag she was carrying.
Grandma Qian was desperately squeezing into the crowd to watch the excitement when she saw the needle that Shen Zhihuan was holding, and she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
"This needle is ridiculous! It's almost as long as a person's arm!"
Shen Zhihuan smiled slightly upon hearing this, and her steps were taken without the slightest hesitation.
"She's already lost consciousness. If we don't give her some strong treatment, how can we save her life?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the silver needle, as long as an arm, pierced into Cao Tongwen's head.
Before Shen Zhihuan could even insert the needle, Cao Tongwen woke up instantly with a squeal.
"Ouch, it hurts so much!"
The people in the courtyard couldn't help but grit their teeth as they listened, and their gazes toward Chen Zhihuan were filled with fear.
Wang Yulian, who came out to watch the commotion, couldn't help but cover her face and shake her head, looking utterly disgusted.
"It's just a prick of a needle, why are you yelling so loudly? It's so embarrassing."
Shen Ling stood beside her, supporting her pregnant belly, and made sarcastic remarks.
"It's not that Aunt Cao is useless, it's that Shen Zhihuan is too cruel! She can even kill her elders, she's really despicable."
Cheng Xiangling disliked Shen Ling the most.
He clearly has no skills, yet he goes against Shen Zhihuan all the time. He's really ignorant and arrogant.
"Sister Zhihuan is treating people with good intentions. What if the needle is inserted too shallowly and the person doesn't wake up?"
"You blame others for being heartless? I think you're the one who's being picky. Otherwise, if you get into trouble next time, should I give you acupuncture? I'm very gentle, and I might even prick you until I can't find the acupuncture point."
The little girl has a sharp tongue and doesn't hold back when it comes to saving face for others.
Shen Ling's face turned pale and then red from the scolding, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal. She could only slink her neck away and dare not utter a sound.
Shen Zhihuan ignored Shen Ling and helped Cao Tongwen sit up after waking her up.
This gentle gesture made Cao Tongwen think that she was speaking up for her.
But what Shen Zhihuan said next struck her heart like a knife.
“When Wanwan was injured and miscarried, you two, as her mother-in-law and husband, had to bear a lot of responsibility, and you were not at an advantage to begin with.”
"Now that the two of you are getting a divorce, we are only asking you to provide financial compensation so that it won't go to court. This is already showing you some consideration."
"It goes without saying that the joint property between husband and wife should be divided equally. Since you can't come up with the money, it's perfectly normal for Wanwan to take the house."
