Shen Baolan shed tears unwillingly: "Yuanbao doesn't recognize me as his mother, I do, but Zhou Shuhuan has ruined the rest of my life and made me a cripple. I can't swallow this, brother!"

"Shuhuan is rich and powerful now. If he continues to make trouble, we will be the only ones to suffer. Qiao gave me 10,000 yuan. I have made plans. I will go back and pay off the debt first. The remaining money will be enough for us to live for a while."

"When the Public Security Bureau returns the 200,000 yuan to us, we will build a big house first, and use the rest to start a small business. If you want to get married, you can get married. If not, I will support you for the rest of your life. When Wenwu gets married and starts a family, all your children and grandchildren will treat you like an aunt."

These words undoubtedly touched Shen Baolan's heart.

She traveled thousands of miles to Focheng to recognize her son, simply because she wanted to find someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

But her own son didn't recognize her, and she couldn't defeat Zhou Shuhuan. Fortunately, she still had her brother to rely on.

Wipe away the tears, and all the resentment will be wiped away along with the tears.

Shen Baolan nodded and agreed to go home with Shen Hao.

After receiving the news, Qiao Ya immediately arranged train tickets for the brother and sister to return to Fengcheng the next day.

As for Shen Baolan, she will be released from the detention center before departure to prevent her from changing her mind and causing other troubles.

That night.

Qiao Yazheng and Zhou Shuhuan were rejoicing that they were finally able to get rid of Shen Baolan, the plague god, but then they received a call from the police station.

"What happened?"

Seeing that Zhou Shuhuan looked unhappy after answering the phone, Qiao Ya hurriedly showed concern.

Zhou Shuhuan looked at her for a long time before saying, "Shen Hao is dead."

Qiao Ya was stunned: "What's going on?"

…

Foshan Public Security Detention Center.

"Shen Baolan, wake up, you can leave now."

Shen Baolan looked at the instructor who woke her up with sleepy eyes and was unable to recover for a long time.

"Get up and get dressed. You can go now. Someone is waiting for you outside."

It was not until the instructor reminded her again that Shen Baolan sat up from the bunk bed as if she had just woken up from a dream.

When she walked out of the cell, she found that it was still dark. However, she was so sleepy and had no watch on her that she couldn't tell whether it was evening or early morning.

"This is a police officer from the Nanhai District Police Station. I have something to discuss with you."

Before she could react, she was pushed into the police car by the correctional officer.

In the car, Shen Baolan looked at the police officer's strange and serious face, and her heart was beating fast. "Comrade police, what happened? Didn't you say you would let me go home tomorrow?"

“You’ll know when you get there.”

After thinking for a while, she asked Shen Hao again, "Where is my brother? Why didn't he come to pick me up?"

The police officer glanced at her sideways and said, "Now I'm taking you to see him."

Hearing this, Shen Baolan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could go home after seeing Shen Hao.

She was thinking that when she got home and got the money, she would see if she could "buy" the girls she and Yang Fei had, and keep them by her side, so that when she got old, she would have someone to serve her meals and water.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like I have hope for the second half of my life.

Soon, the police car stopped in front of a hospital.

"Why are you in the hospital? Where's my brother?"

From the moment she got off the car, Shen Baolan's eyelids began twitching inexplicably.

While leading her towards the morgue, the police officer briefly told her what had happened to Shen Hao.

After persuading Shen Baolan to come out of the detention center, Shen Hao planned to go to the post office to send 10,000 yuan back home.

Shen Hao had lived in the countryside all his life and had no sense of vigilance against the outside world, so he was easily tricked by the motorcycle taxi driver.

These days, ten thousand yuan is a windfall for people at the bottom of society.

The motorcycle taxi driver became malicious and robbed Shen Hao together with two fellow villagers. Shen Hao put up a desperate resistance and was stabbed several times by one of them with a switchblade.

Shen Baolan was already lame, and when she heard that her brother was dead, she couldn't stand steadily.

The police had to work hard to help her into the morgue.

"Look, is this your brother?"

The white cloth was lifted, revealing Shen Hao's pale and blue face. Shen Baolan felt as if she had been hit hard by a club and her eyes went dark.

"elder brother!"

“Brother——”

The angry cries echoed for a long time in the corridor outside the morgue.

…

Tian Wenfang and her eldest brother from her natal family arrived in Focheng on the third day, while Shen Dashan stayed at home to take care of Liu Cuihua and his grandson.

Upon seeing her husband's body, Tian Wenfang went crazy and beat and kicked Shen Baolan: "It's all your fault, you jinx. Why didn't you die in the mountains? What are you doing back here?"

"Not only have you harmed your own mother, but now you have harmed your own brother. You have torn apart a good family. How can you still have the nerve to live?"

"Why don't you just die! Why isn't it you who is dying?!"

Shen Baolan was like a wooden man who would not resist. She allowed her sister-in-law to beat and scold her. Tears of regret flowed out like a flood that broke through a dam.

Women of her age all have families, careers and children.

As for her, she had suffered so much for so many years outside and finally managed to save her life, but now she didn't even have a home of her own. She was disabled and her own son refused to acknowledge her. Now even her eldest brother, the only person she could rely on, was dead. Who could she count on for the rest of her life?

"Ding-ling-ling..."

Pei Tang quickly picked up the phone, listened for two seconds, and ran to the stairs and shouted upstairs: "Mom, the phone is ringing——"

Shen Mingzhu came out of the bedroom and slowly walked down the stairs.

She had a mask made of pearl powder on her face and was wearing a loose white silk nightgown. She walked down the stairs, swaying.

Pei Tang blinked, "Mom, you look like a female ghost."

"Is the skin tight?"

Pei Tang shook his body and said mischievously: "It seems a bit. You haven't hit me for three days."

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "I'll satisfy you in a moment."

Pei Tang was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "If you hit me, the pain will be on you, so why bother?"

Shen Mingzhu has always felt that her daughter is even more shameless than her father.

"Shen Mingzhu, it's me."

Shen Baolan's voice came from the other end of the phone, muffled, as if she had been crying.

Shen Mingzhu raised her eyebrows. "What's the matter?"

"My brother is dead."

"oh."

As if dissatisfied with her calmness, Shen Baolan raised her voice a little, crying: "I'm talking about my biological brother, Shen Hao, he's gone!"

The dead are the most important, Shen Mingzhu patiently said "My condolences".

Shen Baolan couldn't hold back her tears, and while crying, she kept telling her the whole story of what happened to Shen Hao.

Shen Mingzhu didn't hang up the phone. She was also curious about why Shen Hao died.

When she went back to Shenjiagou to visit the graves on the first day of the new year, she also saw Shen Hao, who was tall and strong and full of energy.

When she learned that Shen Hao was robbed because he took Qiao Ya's money, an idea instinctively popped up in her mind.

——Is there any hidden reason behind Shen Hao's death? He took the money and was targeted by someone. They robbed him, but he also stabbed him to death. (End of this chapter)
