Chapter 39: I Am Your Shen Family’s Slave

Yang Qiuju couldn’t bear to see her son being bullied, so she immediately grabbed her husband and rushed over.

Unexpectedly, Liu Cailan sat down on the ground.

“She’s beating me! Look! This whole family is ganging up on me, a woman!

I might as well die! My daughter doesn’t care about me, and she lets people beat me! What am I living for!”

Her cries grew louder and louder.

Students from the nursing class next door, who were having a lesson, came over to see what was happening.

The classroom was full of people.

Seeing more and more people, Liu Cailan cried even louder. She genuinely felt wronged.

What had she done wrong? She just wanted to take her daughter home. What was wrong with that?

It was all because of her bad luck, raising such a jinx for eighteen years!

“What’s going on here?”

“I heard that Shen Anan’s mother came to find her, saying she ran away from home or was abducted, and now she’s making a fuss!”

“Ran away from home or abducted? Didn’t I hear she married Huo Rufeng from the Huo family? How did it become abduction?”

“Who knows? But her mother does look quite pitiful, crying like that!”

The night school students discussed.

Several teachers couldn’t help but frown.

Previously, they saw Shen Anan’s talent in traditional Chinese medicine and thought she was a promising student. Who knew she was so unfilial?

What’s the use of talent if she’s like this?

Even as a teaching assistant, she’s still a teacher. How could a teacher behave like this? If this gets out, will their night school even be able to continue?

As everyone discussed, Liu Cailan’s cries grew louder.

She didn’t care what everyone was saying; she just hoped someone was watching, so she could continue making a scene. Otherwise, that ungrateful daughter wouldn’t want to leave with her!

“If I had known you were like this back then, I should have strangled you to death, so you wouldn’t have made me so angry…”

She slapped her thigh!

“You useless cripple, get out of my way! You’re deliberately trying to ruin my relationship with my daughter! What kind of officer are you?!”

With this outburst, everyone started discussing Huo Rufeng.

Seeing this, Liu Cailan was about to stand up and take Shen Anan away, but Shen Anan stood up herself.

Shen Anan, wearing a coat, looked directly at her adoptive mother, her face still wet with tears.

Here we go again!

Last time at the Huo family’s door, her mother had made such a fuss. And now, at night school, her mother was doing it again!

Shen Anan gritted her teeth, her eyes full of hatred.

She couldn’t understand what her adoptive mother wanted.

“What are you doing? Come home with me!”

Liu Cailan swallowed, her throat dry from shouting.

“Why should I go back with you? To help you discipline Shen Yaozu? Doesn’t he have an older sister? What is his older sister, Shen Xiuxiu, doing?”

Shen Anan’s voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm.

This mother, time and time again, hurt her and the people around her. She was utterly disappointed!

“What do you mean? Xiuxiu was just reunited with us, and she and Yaozu haven’t developed a good relationship yet, how can she manage him?

You took care of Yaozu for so many years, and he listened to you. Hurry up and come back with me. Look at yourself, your classmates are laughing at you!”

Liu Cailan put on her motherly airs and tried to pull Shen Anan.

“Okay, then let Shen Xiuxiu give my job back to me, and I’ll go back with you.”

Shen Anan looked at her mother, her eyes unwavering, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Hearing this, Liu Cailan was stunned.

What?! Shen Anan already has money to attend this school, and she still wants to take Xiuxiu’s job?

Is she crazy?

“Why are you still thinking about Xiuxiu’s job? Don’t you know you owe her?

Fine, fine! If you insist on remembering that job, blame your mother! It’s all my fault!

If I had money to buy Xiuxiu a job in the city, you wouldn’t have to give up your job. Your mother is useless! Incompetent! Are you trying to drive me to death?”

Liu Cailan started crying again.

Her life was so bitter! Her biological parents were incompetent, and she didn’t dare blame her children. Shen Anan wasn’t her biological daughter, yet she blamed her too!

Why did she become this mother?

“I’m not trying to drive you to death. When I gave up my job, I said that I had repaid the so-called debt of raising me to the Shen family.

Now, you’re saying I owe you again. How much do I owe to be repeatedly harmed by you and your biological daughter?!

Your son, Shen Yaozu, is slacking off, what does that have to do with me? You, as his mother, don’t care, so you want me, your adopted daughter, to take care of him?

How am I supposed to manage him? Has he treated me like a sister all these years? I am your Shen family’s slave! A slave who cooks, does housework, and takes care of children since I was young!”

Shen Anan spoke one sentence after another.

For the past two months, she had rarely thought about the Shen family. She thought she had let go of everything.

But the moment her mother came to make a scene, all the grievances and pain welled up!

Why should she be treated like this?

“You’re so full of reason! Your father and I raised you for eighteen years, giving up a hundred jobs wouldn’t be enough to repay us!”

Liu Cailan wouldn’t listen to anything.

Biological children owe their parents from birth, let alone adopted children, who owe even more!

She thinks she can repay us with just one job? She’s dreaming!

“Anyway, I’ve made myself clear. If you think I owe you, I have nothing to say. Call the police, let the police decide!”

Shen Anan’s face turned cold.

If she wasn’t ruthless, her adoptive mother would only become more and more aggressive.

Actually, she should have understood this last time. She wasn’t the only one hurt; the Huo family was too.

If she didn’t stand up for herself, this kind of thing would happen again and again!

“You want to call the police? I’m your mother! How dare you do this to me?!”

Liu Cailan’s face was full of disbelief. This ungrateful daughter could actually do this?

Impossible!

However, the next moment, Shen Anan looked at Huo Ai Hua and his wife, “Uncle Huo, please call the police.”

She wasn’t joking; her face was serious.

Now Liu Cailan panicked. Call the police? How could she? If she was arrested, what would happen to her family?

Seeing Huo Ai Hua about to go out, Liu Cailan grabbed her hand tightly, glared at Shen Anan resentfully, and then cursed as she left.

“Ungrateful child, you’ll be struck by lightning!”

By the time she finished cursing, she had already squeezed through the crowd.

Watching her mother finally leave, Shen Anan let out a sigh of relief. Her legs wobbled, and she almost fell.

A pair of hands firmly supported her waist.

She turned around and met a pair of concerned eyes.

Shen Anan apologized to Dr. Zeng, as this was all her fault, and then bowed to everyone, apologizing for interrupting their class.

“This child…”

Dr. Zeng didn’t know what to say, only sighing.

What a hard life! To have such an adoptive mother!

The people below looked at each other.

Shen Anan pushed Huo Rufeng’s wheelchair and left the night school with Huo Ai Hua and his wife.

As soon as she left, one of the teachers from the traditional Chinese medicine class said, “Shen Anan is no longer suitable to be a teaching assistant!”
