Shen Chumo curled her lips into a half-smile, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, "Because even though she was reborn, she still couldn't escape the brainwashing her parents had instilled in her. Deep down, she had already accepted that there had to be a boy in the family to support them. She was probably thinking that after she got out of prison, she would probably have to rely on this younger brother for the rest of her life."

Tuanzi opened her mouth wide in surprise and said incredulously, "Didn't Shen Yuan hate her parents' preference for sons over daughters?"

Shen Chumo smiled slightly, and replied with a hint of coldness: "Then have you ever seen her truly resist even once? In her previous life, she was already married and had a wealthy husband, but she still willingly let her family bleed her dry time and time again."

Such a person, despite experiencing trauma in childhood, may unconsciously resemble her parents after having children of her own, also beginning to value sons more and belittle daughters.

Tuanzi hurriedly flipped through the original text, then looked at Shen Chumo in shock, "Momo, you're absolutely right! Shen Yuan's first child in her previous life was a girl, and she often beat and scolded her daughter."

Shen Chumo nodded expressionlessly and said calmly, "So, do you think these kinds of people deserve sympathy? Perhaps they are somewhat pitiful, but you should never try to save them. They can only save themselves."

Once you get involved, they'll think you're superior and wonder why you can stay out of it; they'll only want to drag you down with them.

Tuanzi nodded and said, "Indeed, there is always something hateful about a pitiful person."

Shen Chumo stretched and said, "Alright, Shen Yuan's matter has nothing to do with us anymore. Let's go home quickly."

Shen Chumo returned to Pinggang Village and encountered Shen Zhian and his wife on the road. Upon seeing Shen Chumo, they gave her a disapproving look, snorted coldly, and turned away.

It seems they have come to terms with reality and will no longer come to Shen Chumo to plead for them. However, the two families have now become complete enemies.

Shen Chuyang had just returned from driving outside when he saw Shen Chumo back. He excitedly said, "Chumo, you're back? Did you hear? Shen Yuan was sentenced to five years."

Shen Chumo smiled and nodded, "I've not only heard about it, I just came back from visiting Shen Yuan in the prison."

Shen Chuyang's expression changed. "Chu Mo, it's so unlucky for you to go to a place like that. Quickly find some mugwort leaves and pat them off to get rid of the bad luck."

After saying that, Shen Chuyang was about to go outside to find some mugwort leaves, but Shen Chumo quickly stopped him, "Brother, the visiting room is not the prison, there's no need for so many formalities. I was happy to see Shen Yuan's fate today, this is good news, not bad."

Shen Chuyang scratched the back of his head and gave a bright smile. "Okay, you're a high school student, smarter than me, you're right."

Shen Chumo sighed. Shen Chuyang was the only one in the family who dropped out of junior high school because of poor grades. Shen Chuli was admitted to a university in Beijing, and Shen Chumo's grades were not bad either, so Shen Chuyang felt inexplicably inferior to his younger siblings.

Shen Chumo, hands on her hips, said, "Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Are high school students smart? There are 360 ​​professions, and every profession can produce an expert. If you sent those college students to the countryside to farm, they wouldn't know as much as an eight-year-old like us."

So, brother, you're just not good at learning those dry, bookish things, but you're not stupid. Look at Pinggang Village, who's as capable as you, brother, and can earn so much money?"

Upon hearing Shen Chumo's words, Shen Chuyang's eyes lit up, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He scratched his head and said, "Chumo, you really know how to talk. However, I am indeed not good at reading. I get a headache every time I see those books."

Shen Chumo smiled and said, "Big brother, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Although you are not good at studying, you are hardworking, kind, and good to your family. These are all very valuable qualities."

Shen Chuyang smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, I'm not as good as you say, but I will work harder in the future to make you live a good life."

Shen Chumo nodded and said, "I believe in you, brother. If our family works together, things will definitely get better and better."

Looking at the sunny and cheerful Shen Chuyang, Shen Chumo was glad that she had already sent Shen Yuan to prison, which changed Shen Chuyang's fate of having a broken leg. However, the fact that Shen Chuyang did not have children also needed to be resolved.

Shen Chumo asked Li Yi about this, and Li Yi said that initially it was because Shen Chuyang often had to travel to other places to drive his truck, and the couple saw each other very little, so it was normal that she couldn't conceive, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

In the third year, rumors began to circulate in the village, and Zhao Tingting became anxious. The two went to the county hospital for a checkup, where they discovered that Zhao Tingting's uterus had been chilled due to falling into a river in winter when she was a child, which would make it more difficult for her to conceive, but it wasn't entirely hopeless.

Zhao Tingting has taken a lot of medicine over the years, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant. Because of the pressure, she even secretly tries some folk remedies. Li Yi saw this but didn't dare to say anything to her.

Logically speaking, cold uterus shouldn't be that difficult to treat; taking traditional Chinese medicine for a period of time and regulating it properly should be enough, Shen Chumo guessed.

The main reason why Zhao Tingting couldn't get pregnant was because of the immense pressure. Her family probably pressured her a lot, and with Shen Chuyang not by her side, she had to bear all the gossip in the village alone, which is why she couldn't conceive.

Therefore, if Zhao Tingting were to leave Pinggang Village and live in a different environment, her mindset would become more peaceful, and perhaps she could successfully conceive.

In the evening, the whole family ate together. Shen Zhiguo was very happy because of Shen Chumo and Shen Chuyang's return. He poured himself a small glass of baijiu and drank it, which was unusual for him. A few days ago, it was just him and Zhao Tingting at home. It was really awkward for the two of them to be alone at home.

While eating, Shen Chumo said, "Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, I have something important to tell you."

"What is it?" Shen Zhiguo asked, puzzled.

"I plan to take the college entrance examination this year and go to university early," Shen Chumo said calmly.

"What?!" Shen Zhiguo and the other two exclaimed in unison.

Shen Zhiguo looked shocked and quickly asked, "Daughter, what happened to you in the capital? Why are you suddenly so distraught?"

Zhao Tingting also looked worried: "Chu Mo, this is no small matter. The college entrance examination can be said to be the biggest opportunity to change your life."

Even Shen Chuyang, who was usually quiet, couldn't help but ask, "Little sister, what happened to you?"

Facing the concerned looks from her family, Shen Chumo smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, and I haven't suffered any shock. I've thought it through. To put it simply, the high school knowledge I have now is no challenge for me. Rather than wasting a year repeating these things, I might as well take the college entrance exam earlier and save time."

"While I've been in Beijing these past few days, my second sister-in-law and I have started a clothing company together. Although she's mainly managing it now, it's easier to get things done while I'm in Beijing."
