Shen Baolan has little education to begin with, and has been locked up in the mountains for many years. In terms of intelligence and means, she is no match for Zhou Shuhuan, a shrewd businessman. Not to mention Shen Hao, who is a typical example of a simple-minded person with strong limbs.

The brother and sister together are not enough for Zhou Shuhuan to play with.

But Shen Baolan was always good at being tough, "Zhou Shuhuan, you admitted it yourself, Gao Hualiang was instigated by you to seduce me, you can't get away from this matter, anyway, I have plenty of time to waste with you, why should I be afraid of you wearing shoes when I am barefoot?"

Zhou Shuhuan said indifferently, "It's up to you. As for Zhou Fu, I can let you see him, but you can't take him away."

"Why can't I take him away? We signed an agreement when we divorced, and his custody rights belong to me!"

Zhou Shuhuan mocked, "Shen Baolan, look at your current state. You can't even support yourself. Do you have the ability to provide Yuanbao with food, clothing, shelter, and schooling?"

"Don't worry about it!"

Zhou Shuhuan didn't say any more nonsense and took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it over.

"Declaration of giving up custody? What does that mean?"

Shen Baolan held the statement in her hand, looking confused.

Zhou Shuhuan sneered, "Why, didn't your family tell you? After you disappeared, they took 5,000 yuan from me and gave me the custody of Zhou Fu on your behalf."

Shen Baolan turned and looked at Shen Hao beside her.

The latter looked away guiltily.

Realizing that this was true, Shen Baolan tore the statement in her hand to pieces.

"What you tore was the copy. The original is still in my hands." Zhou Shuhuan continued to mock.

Shen Baolan was so angry that she threw the shredded paper at his face and shouted at the top of her lungs, "This doesn't count. I'm Zhou Fu's biological mother. As long as I don't give in, his custody will belong to me!"

Zhou Shuhuan was also so angry that he slammed the table: "During the seven years you were missing, Zhou Fu has been living with me. He has the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. He is studying in the best international junior high school in Focheng. When he graduates from high school, he will go directly to study abroad in Country M. His future is bright. He followed you, but what else can you give him except poverty and burden!?"

"He is my own son. I will be counting on him to take care of me in my old age. I will find a way to train him to be a useful person!"

Seeing that Shen Baolan was stubborn, Zhou Shuhuan didn't bother to say any more nonsense.

"Then let's file a lawsuit and let the court decide!"

Shen Baolan is not stupid either.

Not to mention that the lawsuit costs money, she has no income and is a disabled person, so the court will definitely not award the son to her.

"I won't sue you. We agreed on this when we divorced that Zhou Fu would be mine. Don't try to cheat me."

"Who is cheating? How much money have you, the Shen family, defrauded me of? Now you go back on your word and want to take the child back? Don't even think about it!"

After saying this, Zhou Shuhuan left.

Shen Baolan wanted to pursue him unwillingly, but was persuaded by Shen Hao, "Sister, forget it. It's good for Zhou Fu to live with his father. He can study abroad in the future. When he has a promising future, he will not ignore you as his biological mother."

"You know nothing. If he doesn't follow me, will he be able to kiss me in the future? If he doesn't kiss me, what's the point of being very capable?"

It has to be said that Shen Baolan is clear-headed but extremely selfish.

In order to provide for herself in her old age, she completely ignored her son's prospects and future.

…

Shen Baolan and Shen Hao stayed in Focheng for half a month, and soon spent all the money they had.

In order to survive, Shen Hao found a temporary job as a carpenter in a nearby factory, while Shen Baolan waited outside Zhou Shuhuan's residence every day.

During this period, Zhou Shuhuan was alone at home and did not see Qiao Ya and Zhou Fu.

I guess he didn't want her to see the child, so he asked Qiao Ya to hide with him.

The monk can run away but the temple cannot.

She just didn't believe that they could hide away from home forever.

After waiting for several days, just when Shen Baolan's patience was running out, Qiao Ya finally came home.

"Where's the ingot? Where did you hide my ingot?"

Although she was mentally prepared, Qiao Ya was still surprised when she saw Shen Baolan in person.

The two were only a few years apart in age, but Shen Baolan looked older than her mother, who was over fifty years old. She was dressed in rustic and shabby clothes, with unkempt hair and a dirty face, like a beggar woman who picked up rubbish.

"Yuanbao is at his grandparents' place. I told him about your coming, but he doesn't want to see you."

"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Baolan was filled with anger. "I'm his biological mother and he's my biological son. Don't try to stop us from meeting!"

"I can't help it if you don't believe me. Yuanbao isn't here anyway."

After saying that, he took the two children and walked around her and went home.

Zhou Shuhuan and Qiao Ya did not live in the city, but instead took a piece of land in the suburbs and built a four-story villa.

The villa was built in a grand European style, with off-white stone paint walls, large high floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and precious pine bonsai placed on both sides of the door, which was both fashionable and luxurious.

As soon as Qiao Ya and her two children entered the house, two nannies came out to greet them. One took the handbag from Qiao Ya's hand, and the other took Qiao Ya's four-year-old son.

Shen Baolan was very familiar with this scene because she had dreamt about it many times.

However, the heroine in the dream was Shen Mingzhu.

She went to great lengths to snatch Shen Mingzhu's marriage just to have it all and become a rich lady that everyone envied.

But in the end, not only did all his efforts go to waste, but he also made room for Qiao Ya, the mistress.

Resentment and jealousy burned her heart like a raging fire! ...

night.

After Qiao Ya coaxed her son to sleep, she discussed with Zhou Shuhuan, "Why don't we just give them some money and send them off? They came all the way here, and they won't stop until they get something in return."

Zhou Shuhuan said: "You don't understand how difficult Shen Baolan is. If we compromise this time, she will come again and it will never end."

After all, they are husband and wife, and Zhou Shuhuan understands Shen Baolan's character very well.

"Why don't we let Yuanbao meet her? You know Yuanbao's character better than I do. He won't go with Shen Baolan."

Qiao Ya didn't say too much.

Zhou Fu was extremely vain and caring about his reputation. He was used to the life of a rich young master. How could he be willing to go back to the countryside with the lame Shen Baolan to eat coarse food? "We agreed to release the child, but the child refused to go back with her. She has nothing to say?"

Zhou Shuhuan accepted Qiao Ya's suggestion and quickly arranged for Zhou Fu and Shen Baolan to meet at the hotel.

"Yuanbao? Yuanbao, my Yuanbao..."

When the tall and handsome Zhou Fuyi stepped into the box, Shen Baolan was so surprised that she couldn't believe her eyes.

After not seeing him for a few years, the chubby and silly boy has grown into a grown man, stronger than she had imagined, and is fair and handsome.

I don't share the same joys and sorrows as Shen Baolan.

Before coming, Zhou Fu was already unhappy.

He learned about Shen Baolan's situation from his stepmother in advance: she was trafficked to a poor mountainous area for seven years, gave birth to four half-sisters for him, had a broken leg, had no job and no income, and relied on her mother's family for food.

If his schoolmates and friends knew that he had a mother like this, he would be laughed at to death.

And when he saw Shen Baolan's rustic appearance, his disgust reached its peak.

The woman had a sagging face, unkempt hair, and was wearing a sack-like cloth shirt. She limped towards him.

"Go away, don't touch me!"

He opened Shen Baolan's arms that were trying to hug him and hid behind Qiao Ya as if he was avoiding the plague.
