But seeing that Shen Baolan had stayed there for several days and had no intention of returning to her husband's house, the villagers began to speculate whether Shen Baolan had a quarrel with her husband's family.

Some curious people went to the city to inquire.

Oh my, it was a big deal when I asked around. Shen Baolan had caused a big mess and almost went to jail! Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

In less than half a day, Shen Baolan's "heroic deeds" spread throughout Shenjiagou and even other surrounding villages.

"Have you heard? The daughter of Shen Dashan made pastries that made her stepson and the kids in the kindergarten class sick."

"The girl from Liu Cuihua's family almost poisoned the kindergarten children while making cakes."

"Do you know? Shen Baolan poisoned someone's child to death. She is looking for compensation for the child's life. She is now hiding at her parents' house and dare not go out!"

"What a sin! This unlucky girl, I knew from a young age that she was not someone you could take lightly!"

Rumors were like a plague. Not only did they spread quickly, they also kept mutating and escalating. In the end, even the hill where Shen Baolan's grave was built after she was shot was known to everyone.

When Qin Jinlian heard this, she slapped her thigh with joy and almost laughed her teeth out.

As a fellow villager, she certainly knew that Shen Baolan did not poison anyone and was not shot, but that did not stop her from laughing at Liu Cuihua.

She and Liu Cuihua both married to Shenjiagou from Yanzigou next door.

At the beginning, she fell in love with Shen Baolan's father, Shen Dashan, at first sight. Shen Dashan was handsome, tall, and good at working in the fields. All the unmarried girls in the surrounding villages wanted to marry Shen Dashan, including her.

As a result, the shameless Liu Cuihua actually used some tricks to snatch Shen Dashan away, forcing her to marry the short and poor Shen Jianguo.

It was also from that time that the two began to disagree with each other, and this mentality was passed on to Shen Mingzhu and Shen Baolan.

Now, seeing that Liu Cuihua's daughter had caused such a big scandal, Qin Jinlian was extremely happy.

It was not enough for her to just watch the joke, she also wanted to take the opportunity to go over and laugh at her, wanting to see with her own eyes the look of Liu Cuihua's angry face.

"Cuihua, Cuihua, are you home?"

Hearing someone shouting outside the door, Liu Cuihua screamed at the top of her lungs, "He's not here!"

Qin Jinlian pushed open the door of Shen Baolan's house and saw Liu Cuihua glaring at her coldly under the eaves. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Hey, who made you so angry?" Qin Jinlian asked knowingly.

Liu Cuihua snorted coldly, "It's none of your business."

Qin Jinlian looked around and asked, "Why don't I see your Baolan? Has she gone back to her husband's house? When did she leave? I wanted to ask her to pass on a message to my Mingzhu."

Seeing Liu Cuihua's face as black as a layer of soot, Qin Jinlian became more and more arrogant, "Cuihua, don't blame me for being nosy. When you have nothing to do, take your Baolan out for a walk and show her face. You don't know how bad the rumors are. One moment they say your Baolan is a murderer, and the next they say your Baolan was shot. Tsk tsk, even an outsider like me can't stand it anymore."

Seeing that Liu Cuihua was so angry that smoke came out of her head, Qin Jinlian walked away with a satisfied grin on her face.

As soon as Qin Jinlian left, Liu Cuihua ran into Shen Baolan's room, and then Shen Baolan covered her mouth and ran out of the room to vomit.

Liu Cuihua was completely confused.

When had she ever cursed so harshly that she even made her daughter vomit? If she had known earlier, she should have cursed back at that old woman Qin Jinlian and cursed her to death!

Thinking about this, Liu Cuihua walked out of the room and continued to scold her daughter, "I told you to eat less but you didn't listen. Now you can't digest it all and you vomited it all. It's a waste of food."

Shen Baolan wiped her mouth, sat down on the ground and gasped for breath, but her expression could not hide her pride.

Liu Cuihua opened her mouth to curse, but then she reacted with a start and the anger on her face turned into disbelief.

"Are you pregnant?"

Shen Baolan put her hand on her stomach, "Nine out of ten."

Just as Liu Cuihua was about to say something, someone knocked on the door again. Liu Cuihua yelled in anger: "Stop knocking, the door is not locked!"

When the door was pushed open from the outside, Shen Baolan and her daughter were both stunned when they saw the person coming.

Liu Cuihua immediately smiled and ran forward attentively, "Mother-in-law, Shuhuan, please come in and sit down. Baolan, quickly, take out the tea leaves and make some for mother-in-law."

"knew."

Seeing Shen Baolan's cold attitude and that she didn't even say hello to her, Ma Sufen's already cold face became even colder.

She has no rules and is always causing trouble. She would never want such a daughter-in-law!

As soon as they sat down, Ma Sufen got straight to the point, her tone revealing a strong and unquestionable tone, "Mother-in-law, we are here today to discuss divorce with you."

What? Divorce?! Liu Cuihua was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Oh, mother-in-law, this is not a joke. My Baolan and your Shuhuan are living a good life. Why are you getting a divorce?"

Ma Sufen snorted coldly, "Who is kidding you? As for your daughter, our Zhou family can't afford her, and we dare not have her! Let your daughter tell us how much trouble she has caused in the three months since she married into our Zhou family. Other daughters-in-law try their best to bring money home, but she didn't make any money, but spent a lot of money. She is simply a jinx! Shuhuan's father and I are now living in the family compound and can't hold our heads up. Our Zhou family is so unlucky to have met a scourge like her who harms others, ourselves, and the family. We must get a divorce, no discussion!"

Seeing Ma Sufen's firm attitude, Liu Cuihua quickly looked at her son-in-law, "Shuhuan, my Baolan married you when she was still a virgin. You were a second marriage and had a criminal record, but my Baolan didn't despise you, so you can't be so ruthless."

Zhou Shuhuan was unwilling to divorce, not because of his deep feelings for Shen Baolan, but out of rational considerations.

First of all, marriage is a time-consuming and costly endeavor.

Secondly, if he divorces Shen Baolan again, he will become a triple-married man with a son, a criminal record, and neither his appearance nor his job is outstanding. If he wants to find another partner, he can only find someone from the rural area, who may not be as good as Shen Baolan.

Furthermore, putting this incident aside, he was still very satisfied with Shen Baolan in other aspects.

Taking all factors into consideration, not getting a divorce is undoubtedly a wise choice.

But in front of his mother-in-law, he couldn't deny his mother's words and said he didn't want a divorce, so he just played deaf and dumb and kept silent.

Liu Cuihua didn't know Zhou Shuhuan's true thoughts. Seeing that he remained silent, she thought he was also going to divorce his daughter, and she immediately became anxious.

At this moment, the door outside was pushed open. It was Shen Dashan and Shen Baolan's brother who came back.

Shen Dashan and Shen Hao, father and son, both have hot tempers. When they learned that the Zhou family wanted to divorce, they immediately started arguing with Ma Sufen.

The two sides were arguing back and forth, but the person involved, Shen Baolan, seemed to be fine. She leaned against the door frame, holding an apple and eating it with relish.

When Ma Sufen saw this, she was so angry that she rushed up to hit Shen Baolan.

Shen Baolan directly thrust her face forward, "Go ahead and hit me, go ahead and hit me. Don't blame me if you kill your Zhou family's grandson!"

This earth-shattering sentence stunned everyone.
