Chapter 354: I Will Not Pester Si Rong Again

A family surnamed Shen in Xuyang.

Just a moment ago, the man named his son Shen Chi.

He had asked a relatively educated uncle in the village to choose it, saying it would be beneficial for the child's future prospects.

It's so good; he finally has a son.

Previously, his wife giving birth to four daughters in a row had made it impossible for him to hold his head up in the village.

The tiny infant was sleeping soundly because his father had just carried him around the village several times, specifically to show off the man's mark.

In short, it could be said that more than half the people in the village had already caught a glimpse of little Shen Chi.

Clang, clang, clang.

The door was knocked upon. "Who is it?"

The man opened the door and found two extremely beautiful young women standing outside.

They were so beautiful that he felt a bit suffocated, and subconsciously, he felt his holey shoes were somewhat crude.

"You, are?"

"Comrades, we are passing through your village, and the sun is high, so we are a bit thirsty. Could we beg for a drink of water?" Ming Zi smiled with her eyes curved.

The man didn't even think about it before pointing her to the water vat by the kitchen door, being very generous. "Drink! Drink as much as you want!"

It was his first time seeing a woman as beautiful as a fairy!

"Is this your son? So cute!" Si Rong's gaze fell upon the nursing baby the man was holding in his arms.

It was not much different from the one in her memories, and like most infants, it possessed an innocent cuteness.

So genes really are a strange thing; who could have imagined that such a cute child would eventually grow into that detestable appearance.

If he had different parents in this lifetime, I wonder if there would be any change.

"Yes! It's my son!" The man's eyes and brows carried a sense of showing off as he showed him to them.

Ming Zi took the water ladle and pretended to drink some water, then came out to express her thanks.

"Thank you so much today!"

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me."

Si Rong and Ming Zi left this household. "Just as that Brother Sun Qiang said, this Shen family only adopts boys; it's unknown where they put the girls."

"This family already has four girls and is desperate for a son; Brother Sun Qiang suspects the girls were sold."

Ming Zi was a bit speechless. "If they don't want girls, then they should just adopt boys; how could they sell the girls?"

After returning to Huaiyang, Sun Qiang brought back definitive news: the girl had been sold to a place even further away.

It was quite sigh-inducing, and Si Rong did not pursue the matter further.

Hopefully, in this lifetime, she will not have any more entanglements with those two children.

Si Rong returned home and was called to the basement by her second brother, where she saw Shen Lan beaten into a pig's head.

No need to guess; it must be that Shen Lan was being cheap again and came to the Si Family to look for her.

"Si Rong, you're back!" Seeing her now, Shen Lan was as happy as if he had seen a savior Bodhisattva.

She was finally back; if she hadn't returned, he would have been tortured to death by the heartless Si Han.

"Why is it that you just don't learn your lesson?" Si Rong didn't know what her second brother had done to make his eyes dart around like a frightened rabbit now. "Is it because I didn't express myself clearly, or is it that in your heart, everyone in the world is as stupid as you?"

"What kind of excellent husband can't I, Si Rong, find? Why should I settle for a dirty and stupid guy like you?"

Shen Lan could not accept Si Rong's evaluation of him as dirty and stupid. He asked suspiciously, "But haven't you already brought the two children back from the Fuliyuan to take care of them? I thought you had already forgiven me."

When a person is shameless enough, they are invincible.

"What children?" She asked with a mocking smile.

Shen Lan cautiously glanced at Si Han, and seeing that he had no intention of hitting him for the moment, he felt relieved to speak. "The children I had with Li Xuan."

"I am very relieved to leave the children in your care," he added.

Si Han twisted his neck; he was truly enduring, and he had been enduring this disgusting thing for quite a while.

But there was no help for it; there are always some people in this world who make you want to send them to see the King of Hell the moment they open their mouths.

Bang!

After another round of punches and kicks, Shen Lan was beaten to tears this time.

He knew he was a man and shouldn't shed tears easily, but it was just too painful!

Si Rong:...

"You also said they are children of you and Li Xuan; why should I help you take care of them? Do you think I look like a nanny?"

Shen Lan couldn't care about crying anymore. "But, when Li Xuan and I went to the Fuliyuan, we didn't see the children. Si Rong, I know you are kind by nature, so don't joke with me. If you didn't take the children, who could it be? I even heard the children at the Fuliyuan say that an Auntie Si came to visit them."

"Yes, I did go to the Fuliyuan to see those children," Si Rong choked him with his own words. "And as you said, it was because I am kind by nature. As for your children, I didn't see them, and I don't know anything about them."

"Really?" Shen Lan stared at her without blinking, seemingly wanting to confirm if she was lying.

Si Rong sneered. "Shen Lan, is it that after you got used to lying to people, you think everyone in this world is a liar just like you?"

"I said it long ago: since the wedding was canceled, from now on, we are bridges to bridges and roads to roads. I am a person who never walks the path back."

The determination in her eyes made Shen Lan sad.

But he had important things to do now; if it wasn't Si Rong who took the children, then who took his son and daughter?

"I understand; I won't pester you again in the future."

Shen Lan said this with difficulty, then said, "Then, I'll be going now?"

He asked Si Rong, but the direction he was looking was toward Si Han.

He would absolutely never come to the Si Family again.

"Remember this time," Si Han curled his lips. "If there is a next time, you might never be able to leave."

His threat echoed in the empty basement, and Shen Lan shivered.

"No, there won't be a next time."

Shen Lan ran in a disheveled state all the way to the place where Li Xuan lived, only to find that she was gone, and even her family members were nowhere to be found.

The door lock was broken, and inside, it looked as if a hurricane had passed through, with nothing left.

What was going on?

He went out to ask the neighbors, but no one knew what had happened.

It really was a case of it never rains but it pours.

Although he had already fathered two children with Li Xuan, his understanding of her was still limited to her body and those schemes of hers that dripped with malice.

He did not even know where Li Xuan's hometown was.

However, Si Rong knew.

He had once heard Li Xuan mention that Si Rong had previously helped her resolve some trouble with her family.

Thinking of the character of Li Xuan's mother's family, Shen Lan frowned deeply; it was not hard to imagine that they must have used some underhanded tactics to take Li Xuan back to their hometown.

But he had just declared at the Si Family that he would no longer pester Si Rong.

If he went back now, he would definitely be beaten half to death by Si Han.
