Chapter 20 The raiders arrived, and the eldest uncle's family was beyond waking up.

Shu Ying was overjoyed; now she didn't have to worry about anything.

Besides the shop she had just visited, she also ransacked the other places, leaving them with absolutely no meat.

I plan to put it in the refrigerator later and observe the condition of the vegetables. After a whole day, I'll know whether her judgment is correct.

Shu Ying even thought that when she had some free time, she would dig another pond and raise some fish and shrimp.

This way, she and her children can have fresh seafood to eat anytime.

Just as she was bustling around the farmers' market like a busy little bee.

At the same time, the raiders were already close to the Shu family's old residence.

Shu Yan, who had been lying unconscious on the ground like a dead pig, suddenly woke up as if by telepathy.

"Who am I? Where am I? Where is this place?"

She looked at the Yang family's old house, which was completely different from what she remembered, and was momentarily unable to process it.

"I remember the Shu family's old house didn't look like this before. How come so many things are suddenly missing?"

Am I still dreaming?

As Shu Yan spoke, she pinched herself in a daze, and almost screamed in pain.

She then suddenly realized that she wasn't dreaming at all; the house had been burgled!

Looking at the mess in front of her, Shu Yan was so angry that she was trembling all over.

She refused to believe that all the good things in her home were gone, and stubbornly ran upstairs.

Only then did she realize that during the time she had been unconscious, the entire house had been almost completely ransacked.

Shu Yan was so angry that her vision blurred and she collapsed to the ground, cursing and swearing.

"If I find out which damned thief dared to steal my things, I'll chop him up!"

She had no idea what had just happened and could only deduce it logically.

Although Shu Ying is no longer here, she certainly doesn't have the ability to move so many treasures and furniture in such a short time on her own.

What's more, the little one she gave birth to is still in someone else's hands.

Given Shu Ying's doting nature towards her son, she would definitely rush over immediately to take him back.

Therefore, Shu Yan never suspected Shu Ying at all, and simply continued to analyze based on the existing clues.

I remember when I woke up, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was that I and my parents were all disheveled.

Shu Yan's face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't help but scream:

"Could it be that a thief really broke into this house just now, and not only stole money, but also assaulted them?"

She quickly checked herself all over to make sure there was no strange feeling before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, those thugs had rather peculiar tastes; they actually targeted my parents first and let me go."

"Otherwise, if I were in a godforsaken place like this and gave my chastity to a bunch of complete strangers, I would be disgusted to death."

Shu Yan hugged her arms and rubbed them, feeling a chill run down her spine at the thought of such a scene.

When he started cursing, he became even more vicious.

"These damned bastards, although I am indeed very beautiful, not only stunningly beautiful, but also breathtakingly beautiful."

"But they wouldn't stoop so low as to covet my beauty, would they? They must have a death wish! It's disgusting!"

At the same time, Shu Ying, who was on her way to Jingshan, suddenly felt an itch in her nose and couldn't help but sneeze.

Who is talking badly about her behind her back?

Shu Yan had no idea and thought she was just overthinking things.

Seeing that there wasn't enough time, she quickly ran downstairs and slapped Shu Xuecheng and Gao Jie hard across the face twice.

"Dad, Mom, wake up! The raiders are coming to search our house!"

"If you don't get up and leave with me right now, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail!"

Seeing that the two men didn't react at all, Shu Yan became anxious and could only increase the force of her slaps, slapping them even more vigorously.

Within minutes, both of them had been beaten until their faces were swollen like pig heads.

She collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Oh no, those thugs must have drugged my parents to make it easier for them to assault me, that's why they're sleeping so soundly!"

The situation was so urgent, yet Shu Xuecheng and Gao Jie showed no sign of waking up at all; it was truly a matter of life and death.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Shu Yan quickly made a decision.

Although parents are very important, they are still not as important as one's own life.

She only has two hands and can't save so many people. There's really no other way but to save herself first.

Anyway, Shu Xuecheng and Gao Jie won't die. Even if they are arrested, they will at most be locked up.

Shu Yan comforted herself repeatedly in her heart.

In retrospect, she was the wisest person in the family.

Shu Yan was well aware that her parents had openly and covertly favored sons over daughters all these years.

Anyway, even if I went to Hong Kong with them, I definitely wouldn't get any benefits.

It would be better to go directly to the capital, cling to Xie Zhiyan's coattails, and maybe even become a military officer's wife.

Anyway, my parents are just like that to me, so even if I'm a little ruthless, there's really nothing I can do. I can't blame anyone else.

Thinking of this, Shu Yan instantly felt much better.

She glanced at Shu Xuecheng and Gao Jie lying on the ground one last time, then hurriedly ran away.

She was reborn, and it wasn't easy for her to have the chance to start a second life.

No matter what, she would never waste her time; she was determined to live a more exciting life than anyone else.

"Although I plan to go find Xie Zhiyan, the two cities are so far apart, and I don't have much money on me. I really don't know what to do for the time being."

Shu Yan suddenly remembered that she had a suitor named Cheng Shaoyuan, whose home happened to be nearby.

It was his honor to be able to help this goddess.

No matter what requests I make, Cheng Shaoyuan will definitely agree to them all.

Shu Yan planned to first hide at his house for protection, and then have Cheng Shaoyuan pay to send her to the army to find Xie Zhiyan.

In this way, she can rest easy.

“If it were me before, a man like Cheng Shaoyuan wouldn’t even be worthy of carrying my shoes. I wouldn’t have given him a second glance.”

"Although my family is now struggling, he had better be sensible and not make any unrealistic demands on me."

"If that makes me happy, I might even get a good look from him."

Shu Yan walked outside happily, inexplicably certain that Cheng Shaoyuan would agree to her proposal.
