The clinking of chains, mixed with the laughter in the house, was like a symphony from hell.

"A family must be together and complete, no one can be missing."

Staring at the locked iron chain, Shen Baolan showed a satisfied and weird smile on her face, and then she took out a large plastic pot from the sack.

Unscrew the lid of the kettle and pour the liquid inside into the gap of the door.

As she moved, a strong and pungent smell of gasoline filled the corridor.

"You guys are much happier than my brother. You can die together and still be a family in the underworld, but my brother is all alone there."

Watching the gasoline flowing into the Zhou family through the crack in the door, the smile on Shen Baolan's face grew bigger and bigger, with an excitement that came from having fulfilled some wish.

In the house.

"What's that smell? Is it a gas leak?"

Qiao Ya was the first to smell the gasoline.

In order to celebrate Ma Sufen's birthday, Zhou Shuhuan specially brought a bottle of Wuliangye. The father and son drank a lot, and Ma Sufen also drank two small cups. The alcohol made the reactions of the three of them a little slow.

Hearing Qiao Ya say this, the whole family started sniffing.

"It stinks!" Zhou Jiayi blocked her nostrils with her fingers in disgust.

Zhou Fu, who was much older than his sister and had more experience, shouted, "It looks like gasoline!"

"Where did the gasoline come from? I'll go see if the gas stove is not turned off tightly."

Qiao Ya got up and went to the kitchen, while Zhou Shuhuan opened all the windows in the living room to dissipate the smell.

"Dad, there's water leaking on the floor!" The youngest boy, Qiao Zhouwen, pointed under the table and shouted.

The whole family looked at the ground following his voice and saw a puddle of water spreading from the door to the living room.

"Whose house is leaking?"

Ma Sufen was still muttering, but Zhou Shuhuan's face changed drastically and he ran towards the door.

He was not like Ma Sufen, whose eyes were blurry due to old age, and he recognized the gasoline on the ground at first sight.

When he opened the door, he saw Shen Baolan pouring gasoline into the house with an oil bottle. He also saw the anti-theft iron door tightly wrapped with iron chains. He almost died of fear.

"Shen Baolan, what are you doing?!"

Shen Baolan bared her teeth and laughed at him, speeding up the process of pouring the oil.

Zhou Shuhuan was eager to open the security door, but after pulling for a long time he found that the iron chain was locked from the outside with a fist-sized lock.

The other people in the house heard the noise and came to the door, and they were all panicked when they saw the scene.

"Shen Baolan! Are you crazy!? Open the door! Do you hear me?"

Ma Sufen slammed the security door and shouted.

"Sister Baolan, we can talk about this. You want money, right? We'll give it to you. Just name your price."

Qiao Ya's voice trembled as she tried to tempt him with money.

Zhou Fu obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. He shouted at Shen Baolan in disgust: "You damn cripple, do you want to burn us to death? Don't think you can force me to go back with you like this. I won't go back with you even if I die. Give up on this idea!"

"You all go to hell!!"

Hearing Shen Baolan's crazy screams, Zhou Shuhuan turned around and ran back to the living room to dial 119.

In such a short while, Shen Baolan had poured out all the gasoline in the plastic bottle.

"Look at your family, it's so wonderful. Zhou Shuhuan is now successful in his career, has a happy family, and his children are both pairs. His life couldn't be better. I'm really envious."

"I just can't understand it. I am obviously Mrs. Zhou, and I should have a share of happiness, but I got nothing. You and your family are happy and complete, but I was cheated out of all my money and was sold to the mountains like an animal. My four daughters were also sold like animals. My own son disowned me, and I even killed my eldest brother, the only one I could rely on!"

Shen Baolan laughed out loud, tears streaming down her face, but her expression looked ferocious.

"My life has been like a joke. Everyone looks down on me, laughs at me, and wishes I would die so they wouldn't be dragged down by me. But I won't do that. I won't do what you want."

She glared at the Zhou family with a sly smile, her eyes looking like they were about to pop out of their sockets: "Why should I die while you can enjoy endless good food and drink? You should die! It is your Zhou family that has let me down, it is Zhou Shuhuan who is so heartless and shameless!"

“And you!”

Shen Baolan pointed at Zhou Fu who was standing beside Qiao Ya, "You are as worthless as your father, an ungrateful person who mistook a thief for his mother. Fine, I'll grant you your wish. Since you regard the woman named Qiao as your mother, you can die with her!"

Zhou Fu wanted to retort, but Qiao Ya grabbed his arm and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Please ask your mother not to start a fire."

Unfortunately, Zhou Fu was young and hot-tempered, and Qiao Ya deliberately cultivated him into having the temper of a rich young master.

It would be better to kill him than to make him admit his mistakes to someone he hates!

"Aunt Qiao, don't be afraid. She doesn't dare to light a fire. She just scares me on purpose to force me to go back with her!"

After that, he shouted at Shen Baolan in a loud voice: "You vicious woman, burn me to death if you dare, come on!"

Qiao Ya almost fainted from anger.

Seeing Shen Baolan taking out a lighter, she was so scared that her legs went weak and she knelt down towards Shen Baolan outside the door.

"Sister Baolan, don't be impulsive. It's all my fault. Jiayi and Zhou Wen are still young. They are innocent. Please let them live. If you have any request, just ask. I will agree to it all!"

Qiao Ya's kneeling obviously made Shen Baolan happy, and she slowly put down the lighter.

Seeing this, Qiao Ya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as she was preparing to make another effort to find a way to make a living for herself and her child, Zhou Fu next to her started shouting again:

"Aunt Qiao, get up, why are you begging her, she's just trying to scare us!"

As he said this, he challenged Shen Baolan, "Come on, light the fire. If you burn us to death, you won't be able to survive either!"

Qiao Ya wanted to slap her stepson to death on the spot, "Afu, shut up!"

"Sister Baolan, Ah Fu is young and ignorant, so don't bother with him. He is your biological son no matter what. When you are old, he will take care of you and see you to the end of your life..."

Unfortunately, Zhou Fu, who had a pig brain, could not understand Qiao Ya's painstaking efforts and thoughts. He pointed at Shen Baolan and sneered: "Ha, is this what you are thinking? You want me to take care of you in your old age? Don't dream on. Even if you die in front of me right now, I won't even look at you. Get out of here now."

Looking at her own son who regarded her as an enemy, Shen Baolan could not help laughing so hard that she could not straighten her back and her face was covered with snot and tears.

"Okay, okay, he really is my biological son, hahahaha, I deserve it, this is retribution from God..."

Zhou Fu couldn't understand the retribution she was talking about. He just felt that her current appearance was extremely disgusting. "So disgusting. Don't tell anyone that I'm your son. I don't have a mother as shameful as you!"

Qiao Ya, who was still kneeling on the ground, was almost fainted by her stepson's stupid behavior.

What made her even more frustrated was that her two children also followed Zhou Fu's example and started swearing at Shen Baolan.

"Go away, crazy woman!"

"Wait till the police come, arrest you, put you in jail, and shoot you!!"

The two children were still young and did not understand the danger. When they saw their mother kneeling down to Shen Baolan, they thought Shen Baolan was a bad guy.

At this moment, there were clanging and smashing sounds coming from the living room. (End of this chapter)
