Shen Gui and Shen Fang didn't understand what "moral blackmail" meant, but they understood what came afterward.
Shen Gui's son flew into a rage: "If you dare to splash my mother, I'll fight you to the death!"
The others who came with him also rolled up their sleeves and rushed over to beat up Chen Danru.
"Mother, step aside. Yu Yan, Jing Xian, Qing Tan, grab your weapons."
Shen Yuyan had already prepared fire sticks on the side. This was something they had agreed on beforehand. If the Shen family dared to come again, they wouldn't be polite to them and would just beat them with the sticks.
Qingtan alone could have easily beaten them to a pulp, but Shen Danru and Shen Yuyan had long wanted to teach the Shen family a lesson for constantly causing trouble for them.
I was just worried that Dad hadn't let go of his worries yet.
Now that their father has let go, what are they afraid of?
Shen Gui and Shen Fang were followed by seven people, their husbands and children.
They outnumbered Shen Danru and his group, who only had five people, including four women. Shen Gui and Shen Fang didn't take Shen Danru and his group seriously.
Unexpectedly, Qingtan knew martial arts and knocked the man down with a few punches. Shen Danru, Jiang Jingxian, and Shen Yuyan stepped forward and started hitting them with sticks.
On this trip, they not only gained nothing, but also ended up covered in injuries.
"Fool, it's fine if you get used as a pawn next time, but if you come to our house to cause trouble again, it won't be as simple as just getting a beating."
Shen Gui and Shen Fang wanted to curse again, but their husbands quickly covered their mouths, dragged their wives away, and called the others to leave.
"Sister Ru, that was so satisfying! You have no idea how scary they were when they rushed in."
Shen Danru patted her: "Jingxian, it's dangerous in the countryside. I advise you to go back to the Jiang residence."
"No, I want to stay. This place is really fun. There are many things I've never seen in Shengjing. The people in this village are actually quite nice, except for those people from earlier."
Shen Danru had no choice but to compromise.
Shen Gui and Shen Fang, covered in injuries, returned to the Shen family home and questioned their parents and Shen Dazhuang about why they hadn't been given a proper explanation and why they had been beaten for nothing.
They had originally intended to serve their mother for a few more days, but now they had no desire to stay at all.
However, the Shen family embellished the story and coaxed him with a few words.
They were ultimately on their parents' side, and what their parents said must be true.
I also heard that Shen Cheng is building a house and isn't home. He must be at his new house right now.
Upon hearing that Shen Cheng was about to build a brick house just a few days after leaving home, Shen Gui and Shen Fang were immediately consumed by jealousy.
"Let's go find Shen Cheng and ask him for clarification."
Shen Gui, Shen Fang, and the others, led by Shen Yuyuan, were stopped by Shen Xiaohua as soon as they entered the courtyard.
"Auntie, Auntie, I advise you not to cause trouble at Uncle's house. Our family has already wronged them a lot. Uncle has had a hard life."
Shen Gui slapped Shen Xiaohua across the face, cursing, "You traitor! Don't you know who's close to whom and who's distant? You actually side with outsiders! How did the Shen family produce such an idiot like you?"
Shen Gui used all her strength in that slap. She was usually very strong when doing farm work. Shen Xiaohua was so dizzy from the blow that she fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. Her face was swollen all over.
Seeing her aunts arguing like this without even knowing what happened, Shen Xiaohua felt more pain in her heart than pain on her face.
When Shen Gui and Shen Fang arrived at Shen Cheng's new house, they saw everyone working hard, and some of them were villagers from Shangqing Village.
"Big sister, second sister, what brings you here?" Shen Cheng put down his work and rushed forward to greet them. Only then did he notice that they were all injured. "What happened to you? Who hit you? I'll go settle the score with them."
Shen Gui and Shen Fang were furious when they heard this. They gritted their teeth and said, "You still have the nerve to ask? It's all because of those little beasts in your family."
Upon hearing this, Shen Cheng's face turned cold: "What are you saying? Coming to my house and scolding my child, I think the beating was too lenient. If you dare to talk about my child like that again, don't blame me for being rude. You'd better leave."
"What? Second brother, how dare you talk to us like that? Are you really so heartless that you don't even want your parents anymore?"
In their eyes, this younger brother had always listened to his parents. The reason he had become like this must be because of the daughter they had just recognized. They believed that as long as they persuaded him properly, Shen Cheng would definitely go back and apologize to his parents.
"Of course I want my mother. She is still buried in the mountains. I have already seen her. I will find her a good burial site and give her a grand funeral. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave now."
“Chen Cheng, you’ve gone mad. You believe the nonsense your mother said. I asked her, and she said you are her own son, our own brother. The thing about being buried on the mountain is all fake.”
Shen Cheng said with a stern face, "You can leave. I've already refrained from seeking revenge because she raised me. Don't force me."
Seeing that they couldn't persuade her, Shen Gui and Shen Fang lost their patience and their expressions turned cold: "Second brother, I still advise you to kick that little beast you just brought back from outside out. Since she came, has the house been any better? Look at what our once perfect home has become. I'm doing this for your own good."
Suddenly, Shen Cheng picked up a broom and swung it at him, his face darkening. "Get out! Get out! You think I'm being polite?"
Seeing that Shen Cheng was stubborn and unrepentant, Shen Gui and Shen Fang stopped trying to persuade him, but they couldn't contain their anger any longer and shouted:
“You still dare to work for him? Don’t you know who this family is? Let me tell you, he’s a heartless beast who doesn’t recognize his own family, a scoundrel who beats his father and curses his mother. Do you think they’ll pay you for working for him?”
