There was a blood-stained rag stuffed in his mouth, and he could only whimper, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Shen Chou's beautiful face suddenly gave way to a ferocious low laugh, his eyes filled with madness...

"Mr. Shen! The best thing you did in your life was to buy her in. Otherwise, this day next year will be your death day!"

"I advise you not to play any tricks and tell the truth. Otherwise, I will smash your leg bones inch by inch and peel off your skin bit by bit, so that you will know what it means to live a life worse than death!"

Shen Laocai's eyes were filled with fear, and his whole body was trembling, afraid of angering the madman in front of him. He didn't understand what had gone wrong? Why did this sickly person suddenly doubt his background?

And when did this usually gentle, sickly person become so terrifying? His eyes were like a demon crawling out of hell, making him want to just run away...

Shen Chou smiled coldly and pressed hard on the wound on his stomach. Blood instantly soaked Shen Laocai's clothes. Because of the severe pain, sweat kept flowing from his forehead, but he did not dare to struggle at all, not even to make any sound, for fear of angering this madman!

Shen Chou stopped moving with a bored look on his face until he fainted from the pain.

He stood up with some disgust and looked at his blood-stained hand. Then he stood up, took out a handkerchief out of thin air, wiped the blood off his hand with a calm expression, and then waved it lightly, and the rich man Shen disappeared on the spot.

If Yu Ruyue were there, she would probably be very familiar with this set of movements...

After Shen Chou changed his clothes and confirmed that there was no blood on his body, he opened the door!

When Yu Shi saw him come out, he immediately called out, "Brother Shen Chou! Come here quickly. My sister has made a lot of delicious dishes, and even made egg custard specially for you."

Yu Tian snorted unhappily, "My sister is so partial. She only cooks the dishes that Shen Chou likes and even makes egg custard for him."

Yu Ruyue glared at him angrily, "Second brother, can you please stop lying? Didn't I ask you two if you wanted some egg custard at the beginning, and you two said no?"

Yu Tian pouted and said, "I was afraid of tiring my sister. Besides, you did it without even asking Brother Shen Chou. I feel like I'm not your real brother anymore."

Liang Shulan slapped Yu Tian on the back of the head and said, "How old are you, kid? You're still jealous of your brother Shen Chou."

"From now on, make whatever you want to eat yourself. Don't be so shy."

"If you do this again, I'll beat you up!"

Everyone looked at Yu Tian's shy and aggrieved look, and burst into laughter.

Shen Chou watched from afar and couldn't help but smile.

Just like this, he slowly walked towards that joy step by step!

On the second day, Yu Dehou drove an ox cart and took Yu Ruyue and Shen Jiaojiao to the town to sell things. Liang Shulan, Yu Shi and Yu Tian stayed at home to plant the garden.

Liang Shulan directed her two sons to take down the cucumber and bean seedlings that had grown tall on the windowsill.

Then he told Shen Chou to take medicine, and then the three of them went to the backyard garden to dig holes and plant vegetables!

After planting the land here, they returned to their dilapidated thatched house, carefully cleared the weeds in the garden, and then turned the garden over bit by bit with a shovel. Yu Shi used a hoe to smash the large lumps of soil into small pieces, and Yu Tian followed behind and made ridges out of the turned land.

The mother and her two children worked together very well.

Liang Shulan suddenly felt that it was not bad to have three children. Although these two children were somewhat introverted and timid and speechless when interacting with the outside world, after a few days of training and contact, the personalities of these two children had obviously become much more cheerful.

Liang Shulan had already made a plan. In a couple of days, she would let her daughter take her two adopted brothers to the town to see the world, help sell things, and practice their speaking skills, so that they wouldn't be unable to find a wife in the future.

Yu Shi and Yu Tian, who were working hard, had no idea that their mother had already started thinking about finding wives for them.

After waiting for the mother and her two sons to prepare the land, they dug a hole and put the vegetable seedlings in it.

"Yu Shi! Go get some water, Yu Tian! Once your brother has finished watering it, slowly fill it with the soil next to the pit!"

"Okay! Mom!"

Liang Shulan looked at the two children following behind her and felt more and more satisfied.

After the three of them finally finished, they returned to the Shen family.

But when I went in, I found that Shen Chou was not at home!

Liang Shulan thought of the last time this kid went hunting in the mountains without permission, so she quickly sent her two sons out to ask him, while she herself waited anxiously at the door.

When Shen Chou came back, he saw Yu Ruyue had already returned and was standing at the door looking around.

When she saw him, she breathed a sigh of relief and ran over quickly.

"Brother! Where have you been? Why didn't you tell our family you were leaving? Do you know how worried we are?"

Liang Shulan hurried out when she heard the noise. She checked him up and down first, and confirmed that he was okay, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Stop talking, I'm glad you're alright. Go call your dad and brother back quickly. There's no need to look for them anymore."

"Shen Chou! You must tell us when you go out next time. Auntie thought you went hunting in the mountains again!"

"Hunting!?" Shen Chou repeated with some doubt.

"Yes! If you get hurt again this time, your life will be in danger."

Hunting!? Shen Chou suddenly remembered that memory. He was actually sick again!? No wonder he suddenly appeared on the road to Lu County.

No, this didn't seem to be a sickness. He was a sickly person and had never learned martial arts. Even if he was seriously ill, it was impossible for him to move around in the forest and kill prey as easily as before.

And there was the secret room where Shen Laocai was interrogated. He was sure that the place was not his and he had never been there. How could this happen?

"Brother!? What's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze? Are you hurt somewhere?"

Yu Ruyue's voice brought his thoughts back.

He knew that he should actually tell his sister-in-law about the illness. After all, he almost killed her the last time he had an attack. But he was afraid that if he told the news, his sister-in-law would leave with her evil parents!

He didn't know what he was thinking. He had clearly promised his sister-in-law that he would let her go, but now he was actually somewhat relieved that the person who had attacked her didn't hurt her this time. He even wanted her to leave just like he did. He was even more relieved that he had all the memories of the time when he was attacked. If he had acted well, there wouldn't be any clues...

After he made up his mind, a gentle smile returned to his face.

"Sorry for worrying you guys!"

Yu Ruyue felt that he seemed different from before, and he became more gentle after going out.

Did he discover something?

She opened her mouth but ultimately didn't ask, after all, that was his privacy.

After Yu Dehou and the other two came back, everyone had a simple meal and started preparing things for tomorrow.

After all! Tomorrow is a great opportunity for Yu Ruyue to make a name for herself. Whether she can make more money in the future depends on this one move.

The next morning, everyone packed up early, and Yu Ruyue even put on the new clothes that Aunt Shu made for her.

The group split into two groups, and Shen Jiaojiao took Yu Shi and Yu Tian to continue selling seaweed rice rolls.

Yu Ruyue, Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan went to Li's house to prepare meals.
