"Brother, even if Grandma told you to drug Grandpa, you shouldn't have done it! How can I help you if you do this?"
"What you're doing makes you no different from your mother!"
Shen Pengfei was in immense pain, even covering his face and weeping uncontrollably, his grief overwhelming him: "You are my own elder brother, but Grandpa is also my own grandfather. Besides... I am well-read and can only help those who are right, not those who are close to me..."
Save them?
How to save him?
It's already a miracle that we managed to save Dad!
What else should we do?
You all stay, and he gets out, okay?
“Pengju, stop pressuring your brother! He’s the only scholar in our family, and he could become an official in the future.”
The eldest Zhou woman pulled her eldest son away, crying and begging him to stop making a scene.
Shen Pengju looked at his pleading mother with some confusion.
I feel very indignant!
Why?
He's been told to give in to his younger brother since he was little, that the money and good things belong to his brother, and now that he's about to be expelled from the family register, he's being told not to pressure his brother.
"If you keep pressuring your brother, I...I'll commit suicide and say it was you who forced him to! Then I'll see if you'll get away with it!"
The eldest Zhou clansman lowered his voice and threatened menacingly.
In her quest to have her youngest son become a scholar, Madam Zhou could be said to have gone to extremes.
“…Alright, I agree. But you must give me eighty taels of silver. I’ll leave now if you give me that.” Shen Pengju said.
He had nothing to miss about this kind of home.
As for the benefits Shen Pengfei received after becoming an official?
Do you think that kind of beast will become a good person after he becomes an official?
"Where would we get so much money?"
"You won't give it to me? Fine, then keep making a scene."
Shen Pengju patted his wife's hand to comfort her and reassure her.
There are still one hundred taels of silver left in the house.
Eighty taels of silver, my family can afford it!
The mother and son's quiet whispers were noticed by everyone.
An elder shouted, "What are you whispering about? Shen Pengju, you murdered your own grandfather. Now you are being expelled from the family register. Do you accept it or not?!"
Shen Pengju raised his head and said nonchalantly, "I won't..."
"My son!"
Da Zhou rushed over, gritting her teeth and whispering, "Here, I'll give it to you! But I don't have the money on me."
Nothing is more important than the youngest son right now.
Shen Pengju looked down at his elderly mother’s disheveled hair, feeling sorrow and resentment in his heart!
really!
In my heart, he's nothing at all, right?
"Don't try anything funny. If you dare to try anything funny, I'll make a scene at the City Academy!"
After threatening his mother, Shen Pengju gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "I admit it!"
"Pengju!"
"Father!"
His wife and children nestled beside Shen Pengju, crying their hearts out.
But in Shen Pengju's scarlet eyes, there was little sadness, but rather a great deal of hatred! The surging hatred was like a raging fire, impossible to extinguish!
So what if they're expelled from the family genealogy?
Shen Pengju will make them pay the price sooner or later!
"Uncle, we're so far away, what do you think we should do about this?" The village chief stroked his goatee and asked with a smile.
Beneath those honest and kind faces lie choices driven by self-interest!
Shen Qianli shook his head: "Although Shen Baili didn't do it himself, if he hadn't indulged them, would the Zhou family have dared to do such a vicious thing?"
I have no choice, but Shen Baili absolutely cannot stay!
Shen Wanli echoed his second brother's sentiment: "I also disagree with letting Shen Baili stay. Even though he wasn't directly involved in this matter, he was the mastermind behind selling Tian Tian!"
If he can be so cruel to his own children, who knows if he'll try to get money from other people's kids later!
Either don't take action at all, or if you do, make sure to eliminate the root of the problem!
Shen Baili is even more hateful than Madam Zhou and the old lady!
He pretends to be a nice guy on the surface, but he's actually full of bad intentions!
The reason why the Zhou family has become like this is because of Shen Baili's "careful cultivation".
We would rather keep the Zhou family alive than let Shen Baili live!
Shen Liuliu nodded repeatedly as she listened.
My dad is so smart.
Not only did they bring up Sister Sweetie's situation, but they also ignited emotions in everyone.
You'll never feel the pain unless the knife falls on your own skin.
Therefore, only when it is closely related to their own interests will everyone be united against a common enemy!
As expected, after Shen Wanli finished speaking, the villagers who were watching the commotion all objected.
"No! We absolutely cannot let Shen Baili stay!"
"I wonder if the little girl from the Hang family who went missing before was sold by Shen Baili!"
"Village chief, you can't let him stay! What if a child in the village goes missing? Can you take responsibility?"
Everyone was noisy and incredibly excited.
Some people even attributed the children who went missing in the village years ago to Shen Baili!
"Bullshit! What does that have to do with me?"
Shen Baili shouted that he was innocent and that the matter of selling Shen Tiantian had nothing to do with him.
In short, he is completely innocent.
But the villagers didn't buy it.
One of the men burst into laughter: "Hey Shen Baili, don't you know you're never home at night?"
"Haha, who knows where they went last night?"
Amidst the teasing from the crowd, Shen Baili's expression changed slightly, and he immediately denied it.
But how could Da Zhoushi, who had been married to him for many years, not see that Shen Baili was feeling guilty?
"Well, Shen Baili, you actually..."
Da Zhou suddenly stood up and was about to pounce on the man!
Like a tiger that has been starving for a long time, its attack is incredibly fierce! It is determined to bite its prey to death!
"mother!"
At the critical moment, Shen Pengfei stopped his mother, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water. Holding his mother, who was about to go berserk, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Mother, are you going to ruin me?"
If this continues, he won't be able to continue participating in scientific expeditions, and he won't have any future prospects at all!
Even if I were just a teacher, no one would want me!
“Your father, that beast, he actually…”
"mother!"
Shen Pengfei gripped his mother's shoulders tightly, with such force that Da Zhou felt her shoulder blades were about to shatter...
Madam Zhou stared blankly at her most precious youngest son.
"Mother, please."
Shen Pengfei's eyes were bloodshot and red, his face full of pleading, and he was almost crying.
This...this is her son?
No!
Her son was a scholar!
We absolutely cannot allow ourselves to end up in such a sorry state!
"When have I ever not been home? If you people dare to spout nonsense again, I'll beat you all to death with this big stick." Seeing that Da Zhou Shi had been appeased, Shen Baili immediately jumped up.
It has to be the youngest son.
That's a really good idea.
"...Yes, I keep my men strictly under my control. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouths off!"
Da Zhou's hair was disheveled, and her cloudy eyes held a long-suppressed anger and irritability.
It's as if they could jump up and hit someone at any moment.
Whether Shen Baili had done anything to wrong Da Zhou Shi or not was no longer important, because the village could no longer tolerate him for selling his own daughter.
"...Uncle, take the pen and cross Shen Baili and the others' names off the family tree. From now on, they will no longer be members of the Shen family of Lotus Village!"
After much deliberation, the village chief decided to expel Shen Baili!
"No! No, Father, I beg you, please let me stay."
"father!"
As the old man shakily picked up the pen, Chen Baili pleaded desperately.
Just then, Shen Liuliu suddenly said in a clear voice, "Why is Grandma crying?"
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Old Mrs. Shen.
Shen Liuliu chuckled.
Don't forget about this old lady.
This guy is no good either!
As expected, Shen Baili did not disappoint Shen Liuliu's expectations. He suddenly turned his attention to Old Madam Shen and shouted loudly:
"I wasn't involved, so why are you kicking me out of the house? What about my mother? This was all her idea! Why shouldn't she be kicked out too?"
"Yes! It was the old lady who covered the old man's mouth, and it was also the old lady who called me to get the medicine!"
The Zhou family immediately delivered the finishing blow!
