After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

Shen Lu's heart sank.

Despite the sharp pain in the back of her head, she dragged her heavy body to the kitchen and took out a cleaver.

Gu Xingyu kept a close eye on her every move.

After all, she was just a five-year-old child, and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes when she saw her holding the knife.

Is this wicked woman not going to let him and his brother off the hook today?

He absolutely cannot let her run into her brother!

Gu Xingyu stood tall in front of the wardrobe, his small frame pressed tightly together, his lips pursed, mentally preparing to die together with the wicked woman.

Worried about hurting the child, Shen Lu placed the kitchen knife behind her back.

"Xiao Yu, get up. Mom is saving your brother."

When Gu Xingyu heard the word "mother," he was shocked. He had never heard that word come from the mouth of this wicked woman before.

He only remembered that when he was very young, he was punished by not being allowed to eat dinner because he called Shen Lu "Mom".

In the instant Gu Xingyu was stunned, Shen Lu had already arrived in front of the wardrobe.

She took a deep breath and chopped at the wardrobe with the kitchen knife.

Although she was overweight, she was physically weak because she did not exercise for many years.

The recoil from the impact of the door being slammed made her hands go numb.

Despite the pain, Shen Lu continued to chop at the lock head, one blow after another.

With a loud "bang," the lock on the wardrobe door fell off.

Shen Lu opened the cabinet door, and Gu Xingze's small, thin figure was huddled in the corner of the wardrobe, his face, which resembled Gu Xingyu's, was unusually red.

Shen Lu quickly dropped the kitchen knife, bent down and picked up Gu Xingze from inside. The child in her arms was not even as heavy as a cat.

The excessively high body temperature burned Shen Lu's heart for a moment. She pursed her lips tightly and ran towards the door.

Gu Xingyu was afraid that his brother would be sold by this wicked woman, so he quickly followed her.

Relying on her memory, Shen Lu ran towards the military hospital not far from the family compound.

Her weight of 180 pounds made it difficult for her to move. Her vision blurred in waves due to blood loss, but she bit her tongue hard to stay awake.

Finally, just before I was completely exhausted, I got my child to the emergency room and handed him over to the doctor before I felt at ease.

At this moment, Shen Lu was exhausted and slumped on a stool at the entrance of the emergency room, panting heavily, her whole body soaked in sweat.

The doctors in the emergency room are administering first aid to Gu Xingze.

Shen Lu lowered her head, trying to calm the waves of darkness spreading through her vision.

Before I could get a good rest, I heard footsteps in the distance, followed by a hoarse, shrill voice.

"You beast, how could you treat two children like this? Are you even human?"

As the old woman spoke, she raised her cane and stabbed it hard into Shen Lu's stomach.

She used all her strength; with that blow, even if Shen Lu had a lot of fat, she would be in so much pain that she couldn't straighten her back.

The pain was enough to intimidate Shen Lu, and even if Shen Lu was right, she couldn't argue her point.

But the old woman never expected that Shen Lu, who had always been submissive, would suddenly grab the cane firmly in her hand.

Shen Lu slowly raised her head with a dark and sullen face.

He saw two women in front of him.

They were the original owner's sister-in-law and mother-in-law.

Despite the original owner's domineering attitude in front of the two children, she was actually a paper tiger who was easily swayed and had already resigned herself to living with Gu Xiao.

Unfortunately, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law kept brainwashing her, saying that she was born to pursue freedom, not to revolve around men.

The two conspired to "teach" the original owner how to discipline her child, sowing discord between mother and child, leaving the original owner and her child with deep-seated resentment.

Behind the scenes, she acts like a nice guy, gaining the child's trust and making the child closer to her in-laws.

Therefore, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law are the real culprits.

Mother Gu looked at Shen Lu in disbelief. This little brat actually dared to resist. Had she damaged her brain?

"You shameless slut, you still won't let go!"

As Gu's mother spoke through gritted teeth, she used all her strength to try and pull her cane back.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lu obediently released her grip.

Unable to stop her strength, Gu's mother stumbled backward and landed hard on her bottom. She clutched her tailbone and let out a series of painful groans.

Mother Gu's fingers trembled with anger as she pointed at Shen Lu in a fit of rage.

Shen Lu stood there with her hands outstretched, looking completely innocent.

"You're the one who made me let go."

Mother Gu was so angry that she couldn't speak and almost fainted from lack of breath.

Gu's mother's eldest daughter-in-law, Fan Cuiying, was very thin, but her eyes revealed shrewdness.

She was very perceptive and immediately went to help her mother-in-law, patting her chest to help her catch her breath, while shouting at Shen Lu.

"You've gone too far, you wretched woman! I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother today!"

Normally, Shen Lu would have been too scared to utter a sound, her fat body trembling uncontrollably.

Today, Shen Lu's expression was calm, and her fat body supported her powerful aura.

Fan Cuiying walked up to Shen Lu and raised her hand to slap him, but stopped when she saw Shen Lu's clear black and white eyes.

Shen Lu's eyes were completely different from before; Fan Cuiying seemed to see Gu Xiao through them.

Her heart skipped a beat, she swallowed hard, and was successfully intimidated by Shen Lu's gaze.

Having held a high position in the original world for so many years, it wasn't difficult for Shen Lu to intimidate them with her gaze.

However, this could only deal with the current situation. This family was probably not easy to deal with, and Shen Lu secretly made preparations in her heart.

As Shen Lu's mother-in-law, Gu's mother didn't want to let it go, but Shen Lu didn't even spare her a glance.

This put Gu's mother in an awkward position, and the situation remained deadlocked.

It was Fan Cuiying who stepped forward to help Gu's mother up, giving her a way out.

"Never mind, Mother, we'll do it tomorrow..."

Upon hearing the word "tomorrow," Gu's mother's expression finally improved somewhat, and she glanced out of the corner of her eye at Gu Xingyu, who was hugging his knees in the corner.

He then stepped forward and took Fan Cuiying's arm.

"Hmph, let's go."

Gu's mother glared at Shen Lu with a venomous look in her eyes.

This little brat, I don't know what medicine she took today.

But wait until tomorrow and see how arrogant she is!

Shen Lu glared back fiercely without fear.

In her past life, she was an orphan and never received a single day of filial piety from her own mother. What was she talking about respecting the elderly and caring for the young with this old witch?

As for tomorrow, we'll meet force with force and water with earth.

If that old man and his dog-like daughter-in-law hadn't come looking for her, she would have gone looking for them instead!

Just now, when Shen Lu was reviewing the original owner's memories, she discovered that the original owner had given a large portion of the household expenses sent by the child's father to Gu's mother.

Every time she went to her husband's family with a large sum of money, she would come back with a bag of rotten corn and potatoes that had no nutritional value. She thought it was because her mother-in-law was good to her!

Tomorrow, she'll make Gu's mother cough up the money just as she swallowed it.

"Where are the child's family members?" The door to the examination room opened from the inside, and a nurse came out to ask.

Shen Lu immediately snapped out of her daze and stepped forward anxiously, saying, "Hello, I'm the child's mother. How is the child?"

"Because of the cold and the seizures, the high fever wouldn't go down. The child has already received an injection, and the doctor is trying to bring the fever down. What happened to you parents? A child this young with a high fever is in danger of dying. Luckily, you arrived in time."

As the nurse spoke, she gave Shen Lu a strange look.

Such a slovenly and unkempt mother, and her young child suffers as a result.

Hearing that they had arrived in time, Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief; a tragedy had almost occurred.

In her previous life, Shen Lu was born an orphan and devoted herself entirely to her work, which caused her to become infertile due to the high-intensity work pressure. She never had a blood relative of her own before she died.

Now that she opened her eyes, there were two living, breathing children in front of her. How could Shen Lu possibly abandon them?

This was the blood relative she had been searching for her entire life in her past life.

Because of the confrontation just now and the huge emotional fluctuations now, Shen Lu felt a dull pain in the back of her head.

Feeling completely drained, Shen Lu's legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees, unconscious, with a thud.

Hearing the loud noise, the nurse rushed over and discovered that blood was dripping down the back of Shen Lu's head.

They immediately called for help, and together they carried Shen Lu into the ward.
