Chapter 14

Shen Tianci just wanted to mock Shen Youran. After all, she had just criticized him and even accused him of stealing money. Was he the kind of person who would steal?

Now that he had found something to say, he couldn’t help but mock her.

But she suddenly stood up, her cold eyes meeting his. For the first time, Shen Tianci felt fear.

Honestly, he had never seen his sister have such an expression before.

From the day he was born, he was the apple of Liu Chunhua and Shen Daqiang’s eyes. Even if he made mistakes, they would just scold him a few times and then forget about it.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, the Shen Zhao Di he knew was always busy working, her face always numb. Sometimes, if she did something wrong, she would be beaten and locked in a room without food.

Even after Shen Zhao Di grew up and started working, Shen Tianci didn’t see much of a smile on her face.

Sometimes, he and Liu Chunhua would follow her around, grumbling and complaining, but he never saw his sister angry.

But the cold look in her eyes just now really scared him. He swallowed nervously and quickly returned to Shen Daqiang’s side, pointing at Shen Youran’s face, “What I said is true. Aren’t you all just mooching off us at home? You don’t contribute to the household expenses, but you want to eat. Where in the world is there such a good thing?”

Shen Daqiang and the others naturally saw Shen Youran’s expression.

Although they were surprised, they still protected their son, “Your brother is right. If you don’t have money, go ask Lu Yifan for some. His salary isn’t bad. He can give you and your son some money for food, right?”

Shen Tianci immediately rolled his eyes at Shen Youran, smugly standing behind Shen Daqiang.

He said so! Shen Youran could only stare at him coldly, she wouldn’t dare do anything to him.

Shen Youran scoffed after hearing this.

Was he kidding?

Lu Yifan already thought that the original owner had cheated on him, which is why she gave birth to Junjun. Now that she was staying at her parents’ house, they were asking her to contribute to the household expenses. How could he possibly give her money?

Besides, he was flirting with Zhou Xiaohui, and they had already hooked up. Even his salary, most of it probably went to that green tea b*tch, or he bought her gifts and food.

If she went to ask him for money, he would probably laugh at her.

“Yes, that reminds me,” Liu Chunhua suddenly slapped her thigh, looking shrewd after hearing Shen Daqiang’s words, “No matter what, Lu Yifan is our son-in-law. Our house was robbed, and we don’t have any food left. He should help us out, right?”

“Right!”

The more they thought about it, the more it made sense. Liu Chunhua walked to Shen Youran’s side, grabbed her arm, “Hurry up and tell Lu Yifan about it, and ask him for some money to help us out first.”

“He’s your son-in-law after all. He can’t just watch his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law starve, right?” Liu Chunhua muttered. There was no such saying in ancient times.

If Lu Yifan wasn’t willing to help them, they would have to make a scene.

“He’s a soldier after all. If this gets out, it won’t sound good, right?” Liu Chunhua thought it made more and more sense. Shen Tianci and Shen Daqiang also started to encourage Shen Youran.

“If you bring back some money, we’ll share food with you and the child!” Liu Chunhua smiled brightly.

Shen Youran was speechless.

No wonder Lu Yifan didn’t like the original owner’s family. If she were in her shoes, she wouldn’t like them either.

In this era, the saying was that a married daughter is like water spilled out. Although you can help your family, you can’t always lean on them.

Seeing the three of them whispering and scheming, constantly encouraging her, Shen Youran sneered, “I’ll remind you, I already agreed to divorce Lu Yifan last night. Don’t get your hopes up.”

She had already agreed, and she got the ring back. How could she possibly go to Lu Yifan?

Yes, as soon as Shen Youran mentioned it, everyone remembered.

Liu Chunhua looked at Shen Daqiang with difficulty. Last night, they had just agreed that as soon as Shen Youran divorced and came back, they would immediately find an older man for her and get a large dowry.

Then they could use that money to find a wife for Shen Tianci.

Their plan was beautiful, but today their money was stolen, and if Shen Youran divorced and came back, they would have to use the money in their savings account to buy food to support her and the child.

“What if she doesn’t get married in a short time, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”

“Don’t think about those things, I’ll move back as soon as possible, I won’t bother you here!” Shen Youran pretended to be strong. Liu Chunhua and the others’ stomachs rumbled again, they were really hungry.

“That’s easy to say, you’ll move back as soon as possible, but what if you get divorced? Won’t you have to come back to your parents’ house?” Shen Tianci gritted his teeth, jumped forward like a dog, and then came back when he saw Shen Youran’s gaze.

Liu Chunhua heard her son’s words and immediately added, “If you get divorced, don’t come back to live at home. You married well at the time, the neighbors all congratulated us. Now you’re back, wouldn’t our family be so embarrassing?”

Liu Chunhua had thought about it carefully, it would be best if Shen Youran didn’t get divorced.

If she didn’t get divorced, she could stay in the compound and work there. Because she was a military wife, her salary wasn’t low.

This way, she could continue to support them.

Compared to marrying an old man and getting a large dowry, this kind of continuous income was much more comfortable.

She believed that as long as she cut off Shen Youran’s retreat, this girl would never dare to get divorced. Even if she stayed, it was fine. The special thing about a military marriage was that as long as she didn’t agree, as long as she didn’t do anything wrong and didn’t agree to a divorce, Lu Yifan wouldn’t be able to easily divorce her.

Shen Youran listened to these shameless words and couldn’t help but laugh. This plan was really well-thought-out, the beads were about to roll into her face.

Seeing them scheming like this, Shen Youran felt really tired. She gently patted the little milk balls in her arms and took him into the house.

“It’s okay, Junjun, don’t be afraid.”

“No one can say that you’re a burden, you’re Mom’s treasure.” Sensing Junjun’s sensitive thoughts, Shen Youran comforted him again and again.

If she hadn’t thought things through completely, she would have probably punched Shen Tianci just now.

She really wanted to slap him, teach him a lesson, and let him know whether he should say these things in front of a child.

But it was okay, no chance this time, there would be more in the future.

He would pay for every word he spat out.

Liu Chunhua and the others saw Shen Youran take the child into the house and thought she was going to think about it. After all, she had agreed to divorce last night, and now she was saying she wouldn’t, it was indeed not good.

But their situation was like this, the job in the compound was a few dollars higher than Shen Youran’s previous job.

It was a hot commodity, once she got divorced, she wouldn’t be able to find a job in the compound, this would be a loss for them, Shen Youran would be able to understand that.

“This dead child has been like a different person these two days, she’ll still do what I say in the end!” Liu Chunhua rolled her eyes, “What’s wrong with staying with Lu Yifan? I’ve said it before, it’s better to live than to die. If she leaves, she’ll lose such a good job, it’s better to stay with Lu Yifan.”

Shen Tianci quickly nodded with a smile, “Yes, yes, Mom, you always think more carefully. Let’s put what we discussed last night on hold for now.”

The three of them agreed, Shen Daqiang waved his hand, “Don’t mind them for now, let’s go borrow some grain and cook.”

As for the money in the passbook, they’d withdraw it later.

Liu Chunhua heard this and immediately went to the neighbor’s house next door. After getting so angry early in the morning, she was quite tired.

Hearing the commotion outside, Shen Youran didn’t even lift her eyelids. After all, she and Junjun had already eaten breakfast in the space, they had just finished eating and were watching a show.

Shen Youran comforted him for a while, but Junjun still sat on the bed with his head down, not saying a word.

“What’s wrong with our baby?” Shen Youran patiently squatted in front of Junjun, holding his small hands in hers, enveloping his palms tightly, “Tell Mom anything you want to say, Mom agrees with anything you want to do.”

“Or is there anything you want to ask Mom?”

Shen Youran felt that if she wanted to prevent the little milk balls from becoming someone with a dark heart in the future, she had to start changing his thoughts now, make him feel enveloped in love, and he would gradually open up his heart.

He wouldn’t go astray in the future.

Junjun lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly raised it, as if he had made up his mind, “Mom, are you really going to divorce Dad?”
