The voluptuous and beautiful nanny, Technician Shen fell for her.

Seeing that her son was about to faint from anger, Old Mrs. Shen spoke up.

The old lady didn't slam her hand on the table or raise her voice; she simply tapped the palm-leaf fan in her hand on her leg twice.

"Shen Wanshan, stop putting on your mayoral airs," Old Mrs. Shen said in a clear voice. "You look down on rural people, have you forgotten where you came from?"

Shen Wanshan was scolded by his own mother in front of the whole family. He was so angry that he couldn't hold it in, and his face turned red.

"Mom, I don't look down on people from the countryside, but marriage is a lifelong commitment and shouldn't be taken lightly."

"What else could it be but disdain?" Old Mrs. Shen wasn't buying it at all, pointing her finger at him and berating him, "Go back three generations, who in our Shen family didn't toil in the muddy fields of the countryside? You even rolled around in the cow dung heaps in Xiahe Village when you were a kid! Now you've been a cadre in the city for a few years, wearing a Zhongshan suit, and you've forgotten who you are?"

Shen Wanshan was in the wrong, and since this was his own mother, he could only stare helplessly.

Seeing her husband's discomfiture, Liu Huizhen quickly stepped in to help: "Mom, Wanshan didn't mean it that way. These days, people value social standing and family background. Nianhe can barely read or write. What will we say when people ask about her when she goes out with Xiaohuai?"

"What do you mean? Tell the truth!" Old Mrs. Shen glanced at Liu Huizhen. "Xiao Huai is capable enough; why does he need his wife to support him? The new society doesn't practice class oppression. I think Nianhe is honest and efficient, a hundred times better than those in the compound who can't lift a finger!"

Standing to the side, Wang Liping heard the old lady praising Su Nianhe and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "What's the use of being quick and efficient? She's still just a servant."

The voice wasn't loud, but Old Man Shen happened to have good hearing at that moment.

The old man sat on the sofa, slammed his cane on the ground with a dull thud.

"Who's going to serve you!" the old man glared at Wang Liping and shouted, "Eldest granddaughter-in-law, who do you think you can order around to serve you this time! I'm here today, don't even think about acting like a young mistress!"

Wang Liping was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly: "Grandpa, I didn't instruct anyone, I was just saying it casually."

"You can't just say it casually!" the old man persisted. "The housekeeper's quitting! From now on, you'll do all the housework yourself! Stop sitting around eating sunflower seeds and watching TV all day, what kind of behavior is that!"

The living room was in complete chaos.

The old man's actions caused Shen Wanshan's high blood pressure to spike, forcing him to sit down and hold his forehead.

Liu Huizhen was terrified and quickly went over to him, patting Shen Wanshan's chest with one hand and frantically rummaging through his pockets for his blood pressure medication with the other.

"Calm down first, and take your medicine." Liu Huizhen hurriedly stuffed the pills into his mouth and then picked up the water glass on the coffee table to feed him the water.

Once Shen Wanshan caught his breath, Liu Huizhen turned her anger on Shen Huai.

She stood up straight, staring at Shen Huai, her mind a jumbled mess.

A few days ago at the dinner table, Shen Huai solemnly declared that he had no interest in women and even said that he had no intention of getting married.

These past few days, she's been hanging out with He Jianjun, that gaudily dressed middleman, every day, making her constantly worried that her son is going astray.

Now look what's happened. He went to the countryside, brought back a nanny, and immediately said he wanted to get married.

The more Liu Huizhen thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

She confronted Shen Huai, demanding, "Give me the truth. Are you really dating her, or are you just using her as a cover?"

Shen Huai: "Why would I use her as a pretext? I've already made it very clear that I want to marry her."

Upon hearing this, Shen Huai's brows twitched almost imperceptibly. Just as he was about to speak, the door was pushed open from the outside by someone's foot.

He Jianjun finished a cigarette outside, then swaggered in, carrying two large baskets of fruits and vegetables he had taken from the trunk of his jeep.

"Uncle, Aunt, I've put these vegetables in the kitchen," He Jianjun greeted cheerfully, completely unaware of the tense atmosphere in the living room.

The moment Liu Huizhen saw He Jianjun, it was as if she had seen something filthy, and she couldn't suppress her anger at all.

She pointed at He Jianjun and shouted at Shen Huai, "Tell me yourself! What have you been doing these past few days, riding in his car every day and hanging out with him in that dilapidated factory?!"

He Jianjun stood in the center of the living room, carrying two large bamboo baskets, completely bewildered.

"Auntie, Old Shen is helping me write a business plan," He Jianjun answered honestly.

Liu Huizhen sneered: "Writing a business plan? Does writing a business plan require us to be together every day? Don't you even come home?"

The more she looked at He Jianjun's brightly colored floral shirt, the more irritating it became to her. She had already imagined a hundred scenarios in her mind of her son being corrupted by this male demon.

As He Jianjun listened to the implied meaning in Liu Huizhen's words, he felt increasingly uneasy.

He put down the bamboo basket, took two steps toward Shen Huai, and wanted to ask him for clarification.

"Old Shen, what does Auntie mean by this? Something sounds a bit strange to me." He Jianjun leaned closer to Shen Huai.

When Liu Huizhen saw him moving closer to Shen Huai, she was so frightened that her scalp tingled. She rushed over and stood in the middle like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"Stop right there! Stay away from Xiao Huai!" Liu Huizhen warned loudly, "You're not allowed to come looking for him again!"

He Jianjun stood frozen in place, caught in a dilemma by the commotion.

He turned to look at Shen Huai and mouthed: What exactly is going on?

Shen Huai didn't even look at him.

"Mom, you're overthinking it. He Jianjun and I are completely innocent." Shen Huai's tone was calm, but his words were confident. "I love Su Nianhe, and I'm going to marry her with all my heart. If you don't believe me, we'll go get our marriage certificate tomorrow."

Shen Wanshan had just caught his breath when he heard the words "Let's get the marriage certificate tomorrow," and his blood pressure shot up to his head like a rocket.

"You...you unfilial son..." Shen Wanshan pointed at Shen Huai, his fingers trembling like a leaf.

Old Man Shen watched this farce unfold from the sidelines, then slammed his cane heavily on the ground.

"What's all the noise about! Xiao Huai's marriage is a good thing! Why are you, as his father, stopping him!" the old man shouted.

Shen Wanshan felt a sharp pain in his chest, his vision went black, and he couldn't even speak.

He swayed and slid off the sofa.

"Wanshan!" Liu Huizhen screamed and rushed over to help him.

The living room was in complete chaos.

Wang Liping was so frightened that she dropped all the melon seeds on the ground. Shen Tao quickly rushed over and pinched her philtrum.

Grandma Shen panicked, slapping her thigh and shouting, "What are you all standing there for! Get him to the hospital right now!"

He Jianjun reacted the fastest. Without saying a word, he squatted down, carried Shen Wanshan on his back, and ran out quickly.

"Make way! Get in my car!" He Jianjun shouted at the top of his lungs.

Liu Huizhen and Shen Tao quickly followed, with Wang Liping also hurriedly following behind in her mid-heeled shoes.

Grandma Shen and Grandpa Shen are too old to run around, so they can only worry anxiously in the living room.

Emergency Department of the First Municipal Hospital.

Shen Wanshan was wheeled into the emergency room.

In the corridor, Liu Huizhen sat on a bench wiping away tears, while Shen Tao comforted her beside her.

He Jianjun leaned against the wall, still not understanding what had just happened at the Shen family's house.

Shen Huai walked over and handed the payment slip to Shen Tao.

He Jianjun leaned over, nudged Shen Huai with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Old Shen, what exactly triggered your wife just now? Why did she say I don't like women?"

Shen Huai glanced at him, his expression unchanged.

She thought I was dating you.

He Jianjun choked on his saliva and coughed violently.

"Cough cough... What the hell?!" He Jianjun's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "Auntie's imagination is too wild! I like girls with big breasts and long legs, who wants to date a hard-boiled man like you!"

Shen Huai ignored his tantrums and looked toward the emergency room.

This fire has now been completely ignited.

As long as he insists on marrying Su Nianhe, Shen Wanshan and Liu Huizhen will have to wait and see.

Half an hour later, the emergency room door opened.

The doctor came out and took off his mask.

"The patient's blood pressure has come down, and there's nothing seriously wrong. But they absolutely cannot be stimulated again in the near future and must rest," the doctor advised.

Liu Huizhen breathed a long sigh of relief, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground, but Shen Tao caught her.

Shen Wanshan was moved to a regular ward for observation.

He lay in the hospital bed, his face still somewhat pale, but his eyes remained sharp.

Liu Huizhen sat on the edge of the bed, holding his hand.

Shen Huai entered the ward and stood at the foot of the bed.

Shen Wanshan looked at his youngest son, whom he was most proud of, and closed his eyes wearily.

"Whatever you think, I disagree." Shen Wanshan's voice was weak, but his attitude was firm.
