Chapter 7: Not His Biological Son

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“If you see me as your real father, then pay back the seven thousand dollars you borrowed from me a few years ago! I can’t be a cripple for the rest of my life. I still need to go to the city to treat my leg, and I’m short of seven thousand dollars!” Shen Gang was not willing to listen to these sugar-coated words anymore. He waved his hand and no longer looked at Grandma Shen and Shen Shu.

The money that they borrowed from Shen Gang had long been spent by his family. Moreover, there was no reason for them to give up what they had already obtained. Shen Shu and Grandma Shen did not even think and rejected him in unison, “We have no money!”

“You don’t have money, but you still want to take money from my dad? That fourteen thousand dollars is compensation for my father’s leg, and my two sisters have worked hard for many years to save it. Do you think you can have it just because you asked? Do you think it’s that easy?” Shen Wan was happy to see these two money suckers suffer and fanned the flames from the side.

“Mom, do you think that your grandson’s marriage is a big deal, but my broken leg is not?”

Seeing how Grandma Shen and Shen Shu refused to pay back the money so decisively, the last bit of hope in Shen Gang’s heart was obliterated.

He turned to look at the pestering old lady and asked, “Is it because I’m not your biological son? Is that why you don’t love me? ”

As soon as he said this, Grandma Shen’s entire person was like a lit firecracker. Her entire figure bounced up and she hurriedly shouted, “Nonsense! Of course, you’re my biological son! You came out from me, and it was I who raised you up!”

However, the more intense Grandma Shen’s reaction was, the more it proved that she was guilty of something. When Shen Gang thought about how everything in his dream was real, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley…

Noticing that Shen Gang was unmoved by her pitiful words, Grandma Shen became ruthless. She stomped her foot and wanted to rush into the house to find the money herself.

Of course, Shen Wan would not let her do as she wished. She stood at the door of the central room and blocked Grandma Shen. “Grandma, what you’re doing is a robbery. It’s against the law!”

Seeing that there was no way for them to get the money, Shen Gang suddenly became stubborn again. Grandma Shen could no longer pretend with the suck-up attitude anymore. She might as well go all out. She sat on the ground and howled at the top of her voice, “Shen Gang, you have no conscience! Once you have money, you don’t acknowledge me as your mother anymore. You agreed to pay for your nephew’s marriage, but you didn’t give it to him. Even when your mother came to your door, you didn’t care! I’ve really given birth to a son for nothing!”

Grandma Shen’s wailing was extremely loud, and not long after, it attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors. They surrounded the courtyard wall and pointed,

“This Grandma Shen is here to ask for money from her son again. I heard that it’s a whole fourteen thousand dollars!”

“Ah? That much money? Didn’t Shen Gang’s family not have much money? Why are they asking for such an exorbitant price!”

“That’s right. I heard that Shen Shu is getting married, and he wants his uncle to pay for his wife and wedding!”

“Shen Gang still has four daughters to raise. Why would he give money to help his nephew get married?”

The neighbors’ discussion grew louder and louder. Shen Gang felt bad. It was true, he had his own daughters to take care of. Why did he have to raise his brother’s son? It was not like Shen Shu had no parents!

Moreover, he might not even be part of their family!

Looking at Grandma Shen, who was kicking up a fuss on the ground, and Shen Shu, who was fat and short, with squinted eyes and a flat nose, Shen Gang realized for the first time that he looked completely different from his family!

Shen Gang then looked at his daughter Shen Wan and Shen Miao, they were really like his own.

After all, she had inherited his high nose bridge, thick eyebrows, and his wife Deng Ying’s big eyes and good skin. Each of them was more beautiful and fresh than the other!

How did such an ugly duckling give birth to a beautiful white swan?

Hence, Shen Gang’s belief in the fact that he wasn’t Grandma Shen’s biological son increased by another level.

Seeing that Grandma Shen was crying and making a fuss, Shen Shu stood at the side and criticized Shen Gang’s family for not respecting the elderly. Deng Ying, who was standing at the side and did not dare to speak, quickly called Shen Miao over and each of them took a bench, thinking to comfort these two people and not let them lose face outside.

However, while Deng Ying was trying to get the old lady to sit down, Shen Miao was slapped by Shen Shu.
