She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Lu Jingshen clenched his fists tightly and glared at Shen Tang.

Just wait until I get back tomorrow, that'll see how my mom deals with you!

Lu Jingshen wrapped himself in a thin blanket and curled up on the ground to sleep all night.

The next morning, Shen Tang got up early; she hadn't slept well all night.

Having no money in your hands ultimately leads to a lack of security.

I must go back today and get my money back.

Lu Jingshen left early and didn't return for more than an hour.

Shen Tang had already packed up, and after he entered the house, the two of them took a car back to the Lu family home.

Shen Tang and Lu Jingshen didn't say a word the whole way. When they arrived at the Lu family's door, they heard Wang Cuixia and Liu Jinhua arguing.

"It's so noisy! Can't you chop a little softer? You're disturbing your grandson's sleep," Wang Cuixia grumbled.

"You're so precious. When I was pregnant with both of them, I worked until I gave birth. Tianci was born in the fields, and Jingshen was born by the well. I was back in the fields two days after giving birth..."

"Alright, alright, I've said it eight hundred times. I'm frail, unlike you, who's as strong as an animal."

Liu Jinhua didn't respond, but the sound of chopping vegetables grew louder.

"Knock knock knock knock..."

"You're so annoying, you old geezer, are you doing this on purpose?!" Wang Cuixia's angry curses rang out.

Lu Jingshen strode over and pushed open the door.

"Mom, I'm home."

Wang Cuixia immediately wilted upon seeing Lu Jingshen.

Lu Jingshen glared at her fiercely. After all, she was pregnant! As a grown man, he couldn't really do anything to her.

With Lu Jingshen backing her up, Liu Jinhua immediately became more assertive.

The reason Liu Jinhua didn't kick Wang Cuixia out was because she was afraid Wang Cuixia would reveal that Lu Tianci was infertile.

She was planning in her heart that after Lu Jingshen and Yang Xinyue got married and had a child, she would give one of the children to Lu Tianci for adoption.

If Wang Cuixia causes trouble again, we'll kick her and the child out.

Shen Tang followed them into the house, and when she saw Wang Cuixia and Liu Jinhua's faces, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's faces were a jumbled mess of marks, with handprints and fingernail marks overlapping, clearly indicating a fierce battle. It was rather disappointing not to see them.

Liu Jinhua glared at her fiercely: "What are you doing back here?"

"Of course I'm back to collect the family fortune and settle accounts from the past few years." Shen Tang walked over and sat down at the table.

Liu Jinhua's face was drawn long.

She naturally remembered that Shen Tang had asked her to return home to give birth in three days.

She thought that if Lu Jingshen coaxed her a few times, Shen Tang would let it go. Why did she still come back?

She looked up at Lu Jingshen.

Lu Jingshen frowned and remained silent.

Before he returned, he went to Yang Xinyue's house. Yang Xinyue's father, Yang Aimin, blocked the door and wouldn't let him in, warning him that if he didn't handle the family matters well, he would lose his job as the head of the technical team.

So he thought he should resolve the matter as soon as possible and divorce Shen Tang.

"What's there to calculate? What does the Lu family's wealth have to do with you?" Wang Cuixia asked anxiously.

Wang Cuixia had her own plans in mind.

Shen Tang is unable to have children, so when her son is born, he will be the only heir of the Lu family.

At that time, the entire Lu family will belong to her!

Shen Tang looked Wang Cuixia up and down; this woman was no ordinary person.

When the original owner was at home, Wang Cuixia treated her very badly.

She made the original owner wash her menstrual underwear, and in the dead of winter, she made the original owner scrub her bed sheets all night. She even emptied the chamber pot in the morning.

In the original book, she even seized all of the Lu family's property, causing Liu Jinhua to suffer a stroke and become paralyzed, and forcing Lu Tianci to drink pesticide.

She doesn't concern herself with the Lu family's affairs, but Wang Cuixia can forget about getting her family's assets.

Shen Tang curled her lips as she looked at her, her eyes filled with coldness:

"Who does the Lu family's fortune have to do with? With you, or with the illegitimate child in your belly?"

"The baby in my belly is the eldest grandson of the Lu family, and of course he will inherit the Lu family's property in the future."

Wang Cuixia puffed out her belly and said confidently.

Shen Tang looked at Liu Jinhua with a cold smile, "How ridiculous, this is the eldest grandson of your Lu family?"

Liu Jinhua stood up with a frown and glared at Wang Cuixia.

He's dreaming of marrying a wife—what a pipe dream! Does the Lu family's wealth deserve a bastard?

Even if they were to give it, it should be to Lu Jingshen's child.

"Shut up!" Liu Jinhua said irritably.

"What's wrong? You old hag, you're not trying to trick me into having the baby so you can kick me out, are you?"

Wang Cuixia stood up as she spoke, "You promised to raise this child as your own grandson, which is why I agreed to keep your secret. Now you want to go back on your word?"

"Everyone, come and judge this! The Lu family is bullying us!"

Wang Cuixia opened her mouth and shouted.

Lu Jingshen pushed up his glasses in frustration. He really didn't want to come back to this house.

Before long, the area in front of Old Lu's house was crowded with people.

It's the off-season for farming now, and everyone's just idly counting ants. Who wouldn't want to watch this spectacle?

Everyone craned their necks to look inside, more enthusiastic than if they were watching a grand opera.

Liu Jinhua's face looked extremely ugly.

In rural areas, if a woman raises a son who is impotent, she is considered a sinner to her husband's family. People will say that she has suffered retribution and her family line has ended.

"Wang Cuixia, don't give me that nonsense. Do you think your affair with Liu Erniu is something to be proud of?" Liu Jinhua said through gritted teeth in a low voice.

Wang Cuixia's eyes darted around. "It's fine if you don't make a fuss, but for the sake of my daughter and me in the future, you have to give me a written agreement."

"We'll talk about this later." Liu Jinhua approached and tugged at Wang Cuixia's sleeve. "Right now, we need to unite our guns against a common enemy."

Shen Tang looked at the people who had gathered at the door and was very satisfied.

In this day and age, reasoning is useless, but every family cares about its reputation and is afraid of being laughed at by others.

She wanted Wang Cuixia to bring everyone over so that they could judge the matter.

"Uncles and aunts, grandparents, my parents were all extremely kind people. When they were alive, they would always help anyone in need or in a crisis. It's just a pity that good people don't live long..."

As Shen Tang spoke, she choked up, tears welling up in her eyes, but she held them back.

The onlookers were all moved, and they all thought of how kind the Shen couple had been.

Shen Tang's father, Shen Qingshan, is a truck driver. Whenever someone in the village needs something, he always buys it for them without complaint.

Shen Tang's mother, Li Wanru, is gentle and kind, and often helps the elderly living alone with cooking and laundry.

Why are you bringing up those old, trivial matters?

Liu Jinhua's face didn't look very good.

Lu Jingshen's father, Lu Hongjun, and Shen Qingshan grew up together and were very close. Later, he married Liu Jinhua, who would frequently borrow money and grain, and never repay them.

The relationship between the two families has become somewhat distant.

When Lu Hongjun was buried, no one helped; it was Shen Qingshan who provided both money and effort.

The Lu family owes the Shen family a lot of money.

Liu Jinhua rolled her eyes.

Is Shen Tang trying to settle old scores?
