Chapter 7 Injured
Lu Yao and Shen Yanrong were unaware of Shen Shiren and his companions' plans. They came out of the study and headed straight for the main courtyard gate. The children were already sleepy after a long day of hard work.
only,
Before they reached the door, they saw a group of people surrounding a person coming towards them.
The memories of the Shen family were not good for both of them. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, they decided to go to the side of the path first, wait for the pedestrians to go far away, and then return the same way.
The pedestrians came very quickly. The two people holding the child had just walked a few steps away from the main road when they came over.
"Who's there?"
A servant with good hearing heard the noise here and shouted vigilantly.
Chen Yanrong and his wife looked at each other and had no choice but to walk out.
Only then did they see clearly who the people being surrounded were, and they shouted for help honestly.
"grandmother."
"grandmother."
"great grandmother."
"great grandmother."
The person who came was none other than Wang Xiuhua, the mother of Shen Shiren, the old lady of the Shen family.
Old Mrs. Wang was born in the countryside and has a strong and fierce personality. Otherwise, she would not have raised two sons alone after her husband's death, and her eldest son Shen Shiren even passed the imperial examination and had a bright future.
Her son is an obedient and filial son. The only thing that makes her unhappy is that he married a woman from a wealthy family. As a mother-in-law, she cannot beat or scold her, and she has to respect her for the sake of her son's future. The daughter-in-law she favors has no choice but to be a concubine and serve as a subordinate.
After finally getting rid of the Rong family, she still had to rush to please them, while her well-behaved, sensible and filial niece Yalan could only serve as a concubine.
After much difficulty, she finally trampled that family into the mud. These two bitches, mother and son, one occupied the position of Shen's wife until her death, and the other occupied the title of her eldest grandson. Whenever she saw them, she would think of the sadness and frustration of those years, and naturally hated them no matter how she looked at them.
Finally, after that woman died and that little bastard got out of the Shen family, everything in their Shen family was back on the right track. Unexpectedly, they still had to bring the person back. No matter how they thought about it, they felt disgusted, but they had to agree.
Seeing this person at this moment, she naturally wouldn't have a good face.
"Who do I think that is? Where are you planning to go in the dark?" Old Mrs. Wang started to taunt him.
Chen Yanrong was not affected by the other party's attitude at all and said truthfully: "I know you don't want to see me. I'm afraid of bumping into you, so I want to avoid you first."
Unfortunately, today is not a good day for anything.
"You bastard!" Old Lady Wang slammed her cane hard, her voice shrill. "Where are your manners? You're truly a jerk born of a mother but not raised by her."
The two children, Haohao and Yueyue, were frightened by this sudden change and shrank back. Yueyue even hugged her mother's neck tightly and clung to her, not daring to make a sound.
This great-grandmother is much more vicious than the grandmothers in the village. She doesn't want to stay here and wants to go back.
Lu Yao gently stroked little Xinyue's back and looked at Old Lady Wang: "You may have forgotten that mother alone could not have given birth to a son as big as Rong."
Chen Yanrong curled his lips. How could his wife be so heartwarming?
"Who gave you permission to speak?" Old Lady Wang said with disdain and disgust: "You two, you fatherless and motherless bastards, are a perfect match!"
"You're right," Shen Yanrong not only didn't refute, but actually agreed with the other party's words, "My mother died young, and it's worse than having no father. There's nothing I can do. I've been around the Shen family since I was a child, so I can only ask for your support. And my sister Yao and I also want to thank you for your good intentions, which helped me find such a good wife."
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Yao, his eyes full of tenderness and affection. He said the last sentence sincerely.
As for this old lady, Shen Yanrong no longer had any feelings for her, and she probably wished he would die right then and there. Even if he respected her, he would only feel disgusted. So, in front of her, no matter what he did, it would be wrong, so he might as well do what she wanted.
Anyway, he was determined to draw a clear line with these people, and if possible, it would be best to never have any contact with them again.
Lu Yao didn't expect Chen Yanrong to say such a thing. While she was surprised, she also felt that it made sense. She had been holding back some words for a long time.
Old Mrs. Wang herself was not a person with a good temper. She used to be famous for her aggressiveness and domineering behavior in the village. In recent years, because of her son's success, everyone treated her with respect. She seemed to be well-behaved when she was outside, but she was even more unrestrained. After hearing the two men's reciprocal speech, she felt as if her lungs were stabbed. She exploded instantly and raised her crutch to hit the two men.
She had wanted to do this for a long time.
Shen Yanrong immediately protected the child in his arms, and at the same time, he stood sideways in front of Lu Yao.
No one expected that the old lady would suddenly attack. Shen Yanrong had to protect the child in his arms and his wife behind him. There were so many servants blocking the way. He had no room to move and was hit several times.
Old Mrs. Wang has lived a life of luxury and has never had to work these years, but her former toughness was not fake. Perhaps she had become more adept at fighting, and her cane swinging became smoother and smoother, and her aim was accurate, and she never hit the wrong person because of "confusion".
Not only that, she was also cursing and swearing at him while beating him. How could she be as dignified and majestic as the old lady of the Shen family?
Lu Yao was protected by Chen Yanrong and was not hurt at all. Looking at her husband's slightly embarrassed appearance, she felt mixed emotions. How could this man be so stupid?
At this moment, she saw the crutch coming towards her head again out of the corner of her eye. She was terrified and didn't know where she got the courage and strength from. She pushed Shen Yanrong, who had his back to the old lady, away with force and took the blow head-on.
Even though she subconsciously turned sideways at the last moment, her forehead was still injured.
"Sister Yao!"
Chen Yanrong was stunned when Lu Yao knocked him away. Now he was even more anxious when he saw that the other party was injured and bleeding. Yun Hao saw that his mother was injured and bleeding, and thought of the old doctor in the village who treated people's wounds. He quickly took out his handkerchief and handed it to his father. The latter did not hesitate and quickly took the handkerchief and pressed the wound directly.
Old Lady Wang was beating her vigorously. Although she had hit someone a few times before, Shen Yanrong had thick skin and the blows were only on his body. However, Lu Yao was injured on her forehead and her skin was broken. Looking at the handkerchief that was gradually dyed red and her cheeks and lips that were getting paler and paler, she felt a little panicked.
Especially since that bitch was injured but still restless, staring at her with her two eyes, making her feel like being stared at by a poisonous snake. She was so scared that she dropped her crutch on the ground.
It wasn't the first time she had beaten someone until they bled, but it was the first time she had felt this way. Her sons and the others still wanted to keep these people for other things, so she couldn't continue to do it now. This made her extremely angry, but she couldn't let these two bastards see her guilty conscience, so she could only roar in a timid manner: "This is the result of disobeying your elders!"
He just wanted to scare these unfilial descendants, but who knew that they would be so stubborn as to get under his crutches?
Seeing how poor they looked, maybe they were trying to make me fail on purpose so that they could extort some money.
When people are poor, they are willing to give up their lives for money. What can't they do?
Yes, that must be it.
