Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 283 She has a mental illness

Knowing that Zhou Dawei hadn't understood him, Shen Wei gave a wry smile and began to explain:
"Uncle Zhou, can you tell me what's causing this illness?"

Only after Shen Wei reminded him did Zhou Dawei notice the key point on the diagnosis report: "huge external force" causing sexual dysfunction.

After Zhou Dawei carefully reviewed the diagnosis report, Shen Wei's bitterness deepened, and he said:
"Uncle Zhou, it's exactly as you imagined."

"Liu Yanran is a madwoman, a terrifyingly madwoman. On our wedding night, when we were consummating our marriage, she kicked me out of my manhood."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Especially as time went on, more and more people came to watch the spectacle.

Their gossipy gazes swept over Shen Wei and Liu Yanran like knives, trying to scrape them until they were covered in wounds.

Liu Yanran's face flushed red instantly, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

The seeds she sowed have finally borne the bitter fruit of this moment. Even if she were to explain herself a thousand times, no one would believe she wasn't a madwoman.

Facing the judgmental gazes of the crowd, Shen Wei remained calm and composed. He had been to prison and fought with Wang Chengpeng, so how could he be afraid of such scrutiny?

With a helpless smile, Shen Wei continued to explain:

"Family scandals should not be aired in public, but there's no other way to keep them to ourselves."

“Before, I thought that Liu Yanran was my wife, I loved her, and I was willing to tolerate her, even if she ruined my next life.”

"Fortunately, she's pretty much like a normal person when she's not having an attack, and she can manage to get by."

"Thank God, I, Shen Wei, never expected to succeed on my first try and leave behind descendants."

"Just when I was planning to let Liu Yanran give birth to the child safely, her mental illness became more and more serious, and in the end she even started to harm her own child."

"Everyone, think about it carefully. If you were in this situation, would you make the same choice as me?"

"Don't think it's too much for us to tie Liu Yanran up, but it's the only way we can do it."

At this point, Shen Wei's voice choked up as he said:

"Last time I was thinking of loosening her bonds and letting her rest a bit, but I never expected that she would run away with my father-in-law. It took me many days to find her."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wei's reputation has completely reversed, transforming him from a villain who abused his wife into a model husband who never abandoned his mentally ill wife.

Zhou Dawei glanced at Shen Wei and said, "Little Shen, you're really in a bad situation."

"Uncle Zhou, I won't say much more. If you want to live in this house, I'll let you live here for the rest of your life."

"As for other favors, Uncle Zhou, I will definitely help if I can."

With a shy smile, Shen Wei said, "Uncle Zhou, I knew you were a good person."

"But I can't let you suffer a loss. After all, you've seen Liu Yanran's condition. She can't withstand long-distance travel and may have to stay here for a long time."

"I'll give you a hundred dollars, and you can consider this room as my purchase."

"As for other things, I, Shen Wei, am capable enough to feed my family with my own abilities."

"Could you talk to the brigade leader and let our family work in Zhoujia Village as well?"

"I won't steal your work points. How about you give me half of the work points you've calculated? Consider the other half as my contribution to Zhoujia Village, which kindly took me in!"

Although Zhou Dawei really wanted to grant Shen Wei's request, he wasn't the captain and couldn't make that decision.

Just as he was feeling awkward, an extremely authoritative voice rang out:
"Shen Wei? Good boy, I agree to your conditions."

"But you also have to make a living, and our Zhoujia Village can't just bully you like that."

"Here's what we'll do: you donate half of your work points today to Zhoujia Village, and your work points will be calculated normally from now on."

The person who came was none other than Zhou Zhicheng, the head of Zhoujia Village. With his approval, the matter was considered settled.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Shen Wei spoke up again, saying:

"Thank you for taking me in, Zhoujia Village. I will always remember your kindness."

"But I still want to remind you that Liu Yanran is mentally ill, she's crazy, a crazy person who bites people."

"If you see her, you'd better stay away and notify me immediately to avoid being accidentally hurt."

Kong Xiu's bloody wound was the best proof, which made Zhou Zhicheng agree without hesitation, saying:
"Xiao Shen, I will remind the villagers to be careful."

"Alright, this will be your home from now on. Stay with your Uncle Zhou for now, and things will only get better in the future."

At this point, Zhou Zhicheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, and said:
"Let's disperse, let's disperse. This is Xiao Shen's own family matter. It's not appropriate for us outsiders to gather here."

At Zhou Zhicheng's call, most of the onlookers immediately dispersed.

However, given the explosive nature of this matter, the speed at which it will spread is probably unpredictable.

After everyone left and the door was closed, Shen Wei's expression returned to its original gloomy state.

He glared at Liu Yanran and asked with concern:

"Mother, is your wound alright?"

After giving Liu Yanran a hard slap, Kong Xiu felt somewhat appeased and said:
"It's nothing, this kind of injury won't even affect my work."

“Son, do you think we should gag Liu Yanran so she won’t gossip about it?”

Shaking his head slightly, Shen Wei said, "Who would believe the words of a madman?"

"You don't need to worry that she'll bite her tongue and kill herself. That kind of shameless slut is most afraid of dying."

At this point, Shen Wei walked straight to the bed and said to Liu Yanran:
"Yanran, you are really too cruel. Not only did you run away to this place behind my back, but you also maliciously spread rumors and slander against your own family."

"But don't worry, I love you so much, I will definitely protect you and let you live the good life you've always dreamed of."

“It must be hard for you to be pregnant alone. Uncle Liu is a man and a woman and it’s not convenient for him to take care of you. With my mother’s help, you will be so much more comfortable.”

Upon hearing Shen Wei's words, Liu Yanran was instantly dumbfounded.

She did want to be served by her in-laws, but definitely not by these two who were her enemies; that would be the death of her.

Thinking this, Liu Yanran threatened, her words a mixture of bravado and cowardice:

"Shen Wei, you are absolutely audacious."

“The child in my belly is Brother Xia’s child, not your good-for-nothing’s child.”

"Get out of here right now and divorce me, or you'll be in big trouble when Brother Xia finds out you've been bullying me."

Faced with Liu Yanran's threat, Shen Wei burst into laughter as if he had heard a very funny joke: "Brother Xia? Zhou Xia?"

"He's barely able to take care of himself right now, he doesn't have time to bother with you."

At this point, Shen Wei produced a document he had prepared beforehand, which contained the news of Zhou Xia's imprisonment:

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how your chivalrous brother will crawl out of prison and rescue you."

Upon seeing the message in Shen Wei's hand, Liu Yanran was stunned, her eyes becoming lifeless as she murmured:
"No way, this can't be, you're lying to me."

“How could Brother Xia possibly go to jail? He’s such a capable person; he even managed to get me out.”

With a disdainful smile, Shen Wei sneered, "You think Zhou Xia is capable? It's simply because you haven't met someone who is truly capable."

"Overturn the verdict? You think you can overturn the verdict on your case with such solid evidence?"

"Look at the latest report, my Liu Yanran's name is on it."

At this point, Shen Wei pulled out a newspaper, which prominently featured the news that Liu Yanran's case had been overturned.

In other words, Liu Yanran is now doomed. Even if she manages to escape from this house, as long as she seeks help from the police, she will still face certain death.

With pursuers in front and ambushes behind, Liu Yanran's eyes instantly filled with utter despair.

She couldn't understand why, when things were going so well, they had suddenly fallen into such a dire situation.

If Zhou Xia, whom she relied on, had already been imprisoned, then why did she insist on keeping Zhou Xia's child? Was it because of love?
I regret it so much!
At this moment, Liu Yanran deeply regretted not listening to Liu Dongran's advice and having an abortion. If she had, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world. No matter how much Liu Yanran regrets it, she can only swallow the bitter fruit she sowed.

Now she is bound to this small space on the bed, and the only way to escape is to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

However, Shen Wei's words were absolutely right; Liu Yanran simply did not have the courage to commit suicide.

Despite pressing her teeth against her tongue countless times, Liu Yanran lacked even the slightest courage to bite down.

When she snapped out of her thoughts and her eyes regained focus, she saw a newspaper standing right in front of her.

Not only that, but right in front of her was the news that her case had been overturned—Shen Wei knew how to kill by destroying the spirit.

The future is long, and I believe Liu Yanran will definitely live happily ever after with Shen Wei.

Judging from Liu Yanran's unwilling gaze, she seemed not to have given up yet, and was gathering strength, preparing to seize any opportunity that might come at any time to launch a counterattack!

……

Just as Shen Wei had successfully dealt with Liu Yanran's family based on Wang Chengpeng's instructions, the grand project of connecting the Wang family with various connections was nearing its end.

Looking at the remaining wires, Wang Chengpeng instead ran another wire back to the gate.

Facing Wang Tieshan's questioning gaze, Wang Chengpeng smiled and said:
"Setting up a light in front of your house is a good choice, whether it's for your own convenience or for the convenience of passersby."

At this point, Wang Chengpeng glanced back again and said:
"The switch is on the exterior wall of the house, so whoever is the last to enter the house can turn off the light."

"As for the modification of the radio, this matter is a bit complicated and may take a little while."

"I'll try to get it done tonight, so that everyone can hear the radio broadcast first thing tomorrow morning."

Converting battery power to AC power was a simple modification for Wang Chengpeng; the main requirement was a transformer.

Fortunately, he was prepared and bought them all at once, so he believes the renovation can be completed tonight.

Although the modified radio will have an extra little tail, it is top-notch in terms of practicality.

Upon hearing Wang Chengpeng's words, Wang Tieshan instinctively covered his mouth.

Fortunately, he wasn't quick to speak, otherwise he might have blurted out that Wang Chengpeng shouldn't rush and that the modification would be completed in a week or two.

This... a modification that can be completed in one night, who is finding it difficult?

Today is Sunday, a day off from the factory, so it's a rare occasion for the whole family to get together at home.

Because she started cooking early, Liu Chunhua didn't get to use the kitchen light.

Looking at the food already laid out on the table, and at the still dimly lit sky, Wang Meiyan placed her hand on the light switch and asked expectantly:

"Brother, can we turn the light on now?"

Wang Meiyan wasn't really ignorant; she was just a little quirky at times.

That's why, after her parents said it was a waste of electricity, she was very careful when turning on the lights, afraid of wasting money.

However, she also knew that Wang Chengpeng was the most generous, so she didn't ask her father or mother, but went straight to Wang Chengpeng.

As expected, Wang Chengpeng nodded almost without hesitation when asked by Wang Meiyan.

Although it was still barely visible, the room was rather dim, so we could turn on the lights.

Besides, if I put so much effort into running the wires, wouldn't it be a waste not to use them?

With Wang Chengpeng's permission, Wang Meiyan excitedly pressed the light bulb switch.

With a click as the spring closed, the seemingly ordinary light bulb suddenly lit up, emitting an orange glow.

Although this light bulb is only forty watts, it is more than enough to light up a living room, making everything very clear.

Wang Meiyan stared wide-eyed at the light bulb that suddenly shone brightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She simply couldn't understand why this tiny light bulb could emit such a bright light.

Thinking this, she immediately turned off the switch and extinguished the light.

Looking at the living room, which had dimmed again, Wang Meiyan turned on the lights again out of curiosity.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Wang Meiyan watched as the light bulb flickered on and off.

Seeing that Wang Chengpeng didn't stop her, but just watched with interest as Wang Meiyan played with the lantern, Wang Tieshan had no choice but to exercise his authority as a father and stop the commotion.
"Meiyan, stop fooling around. You can turn the light on and off as you please. Playing with it like that could easily break it."

After being lectured by Wang Tieshan, Wang Meiyan realized her mistake and immediately stopped playing with the switch, but her eyes were still full of curiosity as she looked at the light bulb.

Under the light, the ordinary-looking dishes seemed to glow, making them look even more tempting.

As the chopsticks moved, the food on the table was rapidly disappearing, soon being completely devoured and eaten by everyone.

Touching her round, bulging belly, Wang Meiyan smiled extremely happily and said:
"Dad, Mom, I think the food tastes even better today than yesterday, even though it's the same stuff."
