“Wenjing’s wife, do you see this? This is your good daughter-in-law. She not only caused your son’s death, but she also tried to strangle me.”
When Granny Yang mentioned the original owner's husband, Shen Yunsheng was furious.
Three years ago, if it weren't for Granny Yang forcing the original owner's husband to join the army, the original owner and her husband wouldn't have been separated.
At first, her husband would write home frequently, but later, he completely lost contact with her.
Fearing that the original owner's father-in-law would turn against her, Granny Yang shifted the blame to the original owner.
“Old man, I advise you to have some decency. Although my husband has gone missing, he is still alive. You curse him to die on the battlefield every day. What are you really up to? Don’t forget, when my husband went to join the army, you and the second wife also benefited. Even if you are shameless, at least do some good for your second uncle’s family.”
Granny Yang's face changed drastically. She had forced her good-for-nothing husband to join the army, indeed to pave the way for her second son's family. If her good-for-nothing husband continued to hold this matter against her, she would be drowned in the spittle of the villagers.
When her daughter-in-law spoke Luo's mind, Luo was both surprised and happy. She also felt that her son was still alive. The army was different from home, and it was normal that they couldn't contact their son.
Seeing that Madam Yang remained silent, Shen Yunsheng sneered coldly, "I advise you to learn to leave room for maneuver. You tried to murder me before, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. Now you're accusing me of being a jinx. Aren't you afraid of affecting your second uncle's family?"
"You...you're talking nonsense. When did I ever murder you?"
Granny Yang refused to admit it, and while she spoke, she gave Luo a warning look, telling her not to talk nonsense.
Shen Yunsheng clenched her fists in anger at Granny Yang. She really had no evidence to prove that the old woman had killed someone. Even if her mother-in-law was a witness, she dared not appear in court to testify.
"Grandma, let me tell you the truth, the real Shen Yunsheng has been killed by you. If you dare to push your luck any further, I will not only go to the county government to accuse you of murder for money, but I will also go to my second uncle's academy to seek justice."
"You...you dare!"
The second son and the eldest grandson were Granny Yang's Achilles' heel. Whenever Shen Yunsheng mentioned the second son, Granny Yang would wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
"I'm barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try."
Shen Yunsheng sneered and then shielded his mother-in-law behind him.
Granny Yang was trembling with fear at Shen Yunsheng's presence. If Shen Yunsheng really went to the academy to cause trouble, everything she had painstakingly built up would be ruined.
Just as Shen Yunsheng was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, a loud, boisterous voice rang out from outside the door.
"Mother! Something terrible has happened! Manager Zhou from Heda Money Shop has come to collect a debt."
Upon hearing this, Luo was so frightened that she froze on the spot. Manager Zhou had brought people to collect the debt, and she knew she couldn't hide the fact that she had borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates.
Although she borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates to save her daughter-in-law, others wouldn't understand her, especially her mother-in-law. She was so selfish; her mother-in-law would definitely not help her repay the loans and might even try to ruin her life.
Shen Yunsheng noticed that something was wrong with his mother-in-law and immediately reached out to support her.
She suspected that her mother-in-law had borrowed money from Heda Money Exchange. She also suspected that her mother-in-law's family members were a bunch of bloodsuckers and that they would never lend money to her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Luo was standing at the door of her daughter-in-law's bedroom, staring at her toes with a worried expression.
At this moment, her sister-in-law, Qiu, rushed in, her voice filled with panic: "Mother! Something terrible has happened! Manager Zhou from Heda Money Shop has come to our door with his men. They say that my sister-in-law borrowed twenty taels of silver from them, and if she doesn't pay it back today, they'll use our house as collateral!"
Upon hearing this, Granny Yang turned pale with fright, her hand trembled, and she almost fell to the ground.
"This...how is this possible? Why would your sister-in-law borrow money? And twenty taels at that."
