Chapter 445
Shen Yuan knew of the existence of this Shen Chi.
Because from about the time she was ten years old, Li Xuan began to mention, intentionally or unintentionally, that she had a twin brother.
She also said her brother was very pitiful, having lived in the countryside since he was small, and told her that when she had the ability in the future, she shouldn't forget to help her brother.
She agreed on the surface, but in her heart, she didn't take it to heart.
Preferring sons over daughters? On what grounds?
While other children were still acting like spoiled brats in their parents' arms, she had already begun to lead her parents to their doom.
It could be said that in this family, her contribution was the greatest.
On what grounds should the fruits of her labor be given to this brother she had never met?
Turning around, Shen Yuan went to Pinminku.
Wang Daniu was stitching a thousand-layer sole for her son, humming a tune as she stitched.
The sneakers her son was currently wearing cost nearly fifty yuan a pair; she planned to let her son wear the thousand-layer soles she stitched when he was at home for the weekend, and wear the sneakers when he went to school, as that was more economical.
That damned Shen Dazhuang was simply a gambling demon; he went to gamble whenever he had a little time, and sooner or later he would die at the card table!
"Is anyone home?"
A thin, tall girl walked in and asked.
Wang Daniu put down the shoe sole in her hand and asked her, "Who are you looking for?"
"Are you Shen Chi's mother?" Shen Yuan didn't waste words and asked straight to the point, "I came to find you to take you to see Shen Chi."
Wang Daniu asked suspiciously, "Are you Shen Chi's classmate? Did something happen to him at school?"
"You'll know once you come with me to see."
Shen Yuan brought her in one breath to the private kitchen restaurant and pointed at the family of three, "That is my mother, but it seems she is also Shen Chi's biological mother."
Although many years had passed, after Wang Daniu tried hard to identify her for a while, she still recognized Li Xuan.
Wasn't this that slut who used to always run to her house?
Once she heard that the son she had raised with such hardship actually called that slut 'mother', Wang Daniu's sharp-tongued genes awakened with a 'whoosh'.
"Dare to snatch my son? I'll fight you to the death!" Wang Daniu rushed over, picked up the soup on the table, and splashed it onto Li Xuan's face.
"It really was just as my man said, Li Xuan, you really do want to snatch my son!"
"When I go home and tell my man, my man will definitely use a firewood axe to hack you to death!"
Instantly, the customers in the shop all looked over toward them.
Today was Ming Zi and Xue Ming's wedding anniversary; she hadn't expected to be able to see a good show starring Li Xuan.
It was just a pity, a pity that Si Rong didn't come.
She glared at Xue Ming reproachfully, "I said we should have invited Si Rong for our wedding anniversary!"
Xue Ming:...
The commotion continued over there; Ming Zi, like the audience at the scene, excitedly watched the battle from the sidelines, occasionally joining in the clamor, "Fight! Hurry up and fight!"
Li Xuan stood in front of the table in a disheveled state, covered in beef soup.
Just a moment ago, she had wanted to hide behind Shen Lan, but who would have thought this man would hide faster than anyone, and not a single drop of beef soup touched him.
He simply wasn't a man!
Shen Lan also hadn't expected that such a thing would happen just after he had acknowledged his son.
This strange feeling was a bit like being caught in the act of adultery on the street; it was somewhat stimulating.
"This female comrade, please don't be agitated," Shen Lan caught a glimpse of Ming Zi not far away and knew that since she had seen today's commotion, she would definitely pass it on to Si Rong, so he unconsciously brought out his gentlemanly demeanor, "As the saying goes, a gentleman uses his words, not his hands; let's talk things over properly."
"Talk your big daddy's egg!" Wang Daniu jumped up and grabbed his hair, "You two are quite capable, aren't you? Waiting for me to raise the child so you can be the ready-made parents, right? Shameless! Shameless!"
She finally realized now why this woman had brought good things to visit again and again when her son was small; so he really was her biological son.
Wang Daniu didn't feel satisfied with just pulling his hair; she kicked Shen Lan in the crotch, kicking him so hard his soul was screaming in pain.
Her other hand wasn't idle either; while Li Xuan was cleaning the soup off her face, she backhanded Li Xuan with several slaps, knocking her to the ground.
"Want to make this old lady raise your son for nothing? In your dreams! Today, this old lady will lay it out for you! My man is someone who dares to kill; you choose whether you want the son or your lives!"
For a moment, both Li Xuan and Shen Lan were stunned by the sharp-tongued Wang Daniu.
Shen Yuan watched this scene coldly; well hit! These two people just needed a lesson.
She walked toward the stunned Shen Chi and sized him up with a critical gaze.
"Just because of you, they've made such a scene; are you happy?"
"I reckon it won't be long before you see the scene of your biological parents being hacked to death by your adoptive parents; are you looking forward to it?"
Shen Chi:...
"Are you my biological younger sister?" He felt that this younger sister didn't speak very nicely; compared to his three older sisters, she was far worse.
Shen Yuan denied it, "I hope it's best if I'm not."
Once she married into the Jiang Family, she would draw a line between herself and these useless family members.
There was absolutely no such problem as the one Si Rong worried about, where she would bring Li Xuan and Shen Lan into the house.
"It's because of me that our family has a little savings; I hope you don't covet it."
Shen Chi felt a bit ashamed, and even more so felt that Shen Yuan was bragging.
They were both only middle school students; what could the money at home possibly have to do with her?
"I didn't spend it."
"Do you want to look down at what you're wearing on your feet, and even including the meals you're eating today—whose money is it?"
She felt it was only natural that Shen Lan's money also belonged to her.
Shen Chi turned his face away and ignored her; he had always disliked this kind of woman, whose every word made people dislike her.
In the end, the farce concluded with a great victory for Wang Daniu.
Shen Lan and Li Xuan left in a dejected manner.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!" Although it was her wedding anniversary, Ming Zi still couldn't wait to rush to Si Rong's house to share today's excitement with her.
"We'll have a good show to watch soon! Li Xuan's biological son has popped up, but that child's adoptive mother doesn't look like someone who's easy to bully!"
"They were almost beaten until they pissed themselves today!"
"See, I told you to spend the wedding anniversary with us today. Now that you've missed the excitement, do you regret it?"
Si Rong:...
Uh, although they already had a friendship spanning two lifetimes, she still held a wait-and-see attitude regarding joining the other party's wedding anniversary.
However, she did think it was quite a good show that Shen Lan and Li Xuan wanted to snatch a son from the Xuyang Shen family.
Just thinking about letting others raise their child and acting as ready-made parents—where could such a good thing exist?
The cuckoo occupies the magpie's nest; what kind of good retribution could there be?
"Mom, my classmates came to find me, I'm going out to play with them!" Jiang Siyu shouted in the courtyard.
Si Rong glanced out the window, her gaze landing on the face of one of Si Yu's female classmates, and she paused.
