Chapter 34: The First Wife of a Wealthy Family in the Republic of China
The original owner, Zhang Shan, was the daughter of a prominent family in O City. Her father was the richest man in O City. She was beautiful and graceful. In the library, she met a very handsome man, Shen Shaosi, because of a famous foreign book.
The clothes on the boy cost less than a hundred dollars in total, but his temperament and elegant conversation made people feel that he did not come from a poor family.
The two got along very well and gradually came together. In order to narrow the gap between them, the original owner introduced Shen Shaosi to work in his father's business, and his father also appreciated his abilities.
The original owner and Shen Shaosi were very much in love. In order to marry the original owner, Shen Shaosi promised Zhang's father that they would be together for the rest of their lives. In an era when men still had three wives and four concubines, such a promise made the original owner very moved, and Zhang's father was also very satisfied.
Soon, the original owner married Shen Shaosi and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Zhang's father also began to take Shen Shaosi to various occasions and introduce various connections.
The number of business orders for Shen Shaosi's company gradually increased, and he had a unique vision and combined various information, so he rarely lost money on his investments.
During this period, Zhang's father's health gradually deteriorated and he passed away a year later.
The Zhang family's assets also fell into the hands of the original owner. The love-brained original owner used the Zhang family's assets to feed Shen Shaosi's investment company. Shen Shaosi's wealth increased and he became the new richest man in O City.
What the original owner never expected was that Shen Shaosi betrayed her after he became successful, and successively married his second concubine, Bai Yueguang, his first love, his third concubine, and his fourth concubine, the celebrity goddess.
What made the original owner even more heartbroken was that the second concubine was as vicious as a vicious snake and plotted to murder the original owner's two children. The eldest son died in a car accident, and the eldest daughter was addicted to contraband and became mentally ill.
The original owner had been investigating for many years, but every time she got important information, the clues would always be cut off. Later, she was pushed down the stairs by the third concubine and became a vegetable. Only then did she learn that it was Shen Shaosi who had been preventing her from finding out the truth.
In order to maintain his image as a man of loyalty and righteousness, the man kept dragging the original owner and not giving her a quick death. She heard a lot of news from the fourth concubine, although the fourth concubine never had anything nice to say every time she came to "pay her respects".
After learning that his daughter had drowned, the original owner was heartbroken and died.
Before she died, she prayed to God, asking the unfaithful man to go to hell as soon as possible.
But to her disappointment, Shen Shaosi lived to be a hundred years old and passed away peacefully.
Why is fate so unfair?
She was kind all her life, but ended up being destitute and had no good ending, while the unfaithful man lived a happy and healthy life, enjoying a life of wealth and glory.
"I want Shen Shaosi and his women to pay the price. My father died strangely, and my son and daughter died unjustly. I want them to die miserably!"
……

"Shanshan, what happened to Zhijie was just an accident. You have to learn to accept this fact and stop thinking about it."
The man in front of him was no more than forty years old, with a delicate face and deep eyes, and he could look at a dog with deep affection.
"You go out first, I want to be alone."
Zhang Shan dodged the man's outstretched hand. The man's hand was a little stiff, but he didn't say anything, turned around and left.
Zhang Shan listed a bunch of names, all of whom were people who had been loyal to Zhang's father. More than ten years had passed, and some of them were no longer around, but some things had to be investigated thoroughly to avoid wrongly accusing people or killing them by mistake.
"Miss?"
"Uncle Zhang, you also know about Zhijie and Zhilin, right?"
"Miss, please accept my condolences. If the master were still alive, he would definitely not want..."
"Uncle Zhang, how did my father die?"
"This……"
Uncle Zhang's face changed slightly. He had been hiding for so many years, but the moment he was found by the young lady, he knew that the secret could no longer be kept.
It turned out that the third concubine was a nurse in the hospital where Zhang's father worked. When she met Shen Shaosi after a long separation, they hugged each other excitedly and did more intimate things. They were discovered by Zhang's father who was out for a walk. Zhang's father went up and slapped Shen Shaosi in the face, and threatened to make Shen Shaosi unable to survive in O City.
The third concubine was worried that she could not continue her job, and in panic, she pushed Zhang's father down the stairs. Shen Shaosi found that Zhang's father had stopped breathing, so he forged a story that Zhang's father had died of a sudden illness, and then sent the third concubine to City A.
After leaving Uncle Zhang's rental house, Zhang Shan heard the sound of a chair being kicked over. Zhang Shan kept walking. Uncle Zhang was Zhang's father's driver. He was also present on the day when Zhang's father had the accident.
Zhang Shan did not blame him for not saving Zhang's father, but did not tell the truth to the original owner afterwards. Instead, she took Shen Shaosi's money and left City O.
Zhang Shan wrote down the name of the third concubine in her notebook and drew a horizontal line, which corresponded to Zhang's father's name.
In another villa of Shen Shaosi, all the children of the Shen family except the eldest son and daughter gathered together to celebrate the birthday of the second concubine's son.
Everyone was shaking their wine glasses and smiling, but they had different thoughts in their minds and could only maintain superficial harmony. However, the surface alone was enough to deceive many people, and the original owner's son was one of them.
Although Zhijie's brake lines were cut by the second concubine, it was the third concubine's children who tricked him into going out to play. They knew the second concubine's purpose, but were willing to cooperate. Not only did they get rid of the enemy, but they also got hold of the second concubine's handle.
It was the second concubine's children who led Zhilin to get addicted to drugs, and it was the fourth concubine's children who pushed Zhilin into the water and created the illusion of drowning when they found she was not breathing.
Men and women swayed to the beat of the music on the dance floor, and some people even fell asleep on the lawn.
Zhang Shan gave them a large dose of drugs, and soon the children were taken to the hospital by ambulance for treatment. Although the drugs were not fatal, they were enough to make them dependent on contraband, an addiction they would never be able to quit.
"Zhang Shan, your daughter is addicted to contraband and you are harming my child. Do you have any conscience?" The fourth concubine's eyes had already turned red from crying. The moment she saw Zhang Shan coming, she rushed directly to Zhang Shan and wanted to hit her.
"Who said I did it? Do you have any evidence? Do you have any evidence?"
If they could produce evidence, they would have sent Zhang Shan to the police station long ago.
"Since there is no evidence, then just shut up."
Shen Shaosi had a gloomy face and pulled Zhang Shan out of the door. Zhang Shan shook him off, "Don't pull me. We're still outside. Pay attention to your image."
"Zhang Shan, what are you going to do? What happened to Zhijie and Zhilin was just an accident. Do you really want to bury the other children with them? They are all innocent."
"Which child is not innocent? Why don't you go ask them? The effect of the drug hasn't worn off yet. Maybe you can get something out of them."
"Instead of getting entangled with me, you might as well marry another concubine and give birth to a smart and sensible child to inherit the family business."
Zhang Shan shook off Shen Shaosi's hand and walked away. She met the second concubine at the corner, but she pretended not to see her and walked past quickly.
She didn't know that after she left, Shen Shaosi gave the second concubine a loud slap in the face, and the third and fourth concubines both came out of the room.
Although no one said anything, everyone present was a shrewd person. The third and fourth concubines looked at the second concubine with eyes as if there was poison in them.
Zhang Shan's revenge was fierce and hit the heart. After all the children of the Shen family were ruined, Zhang Shan attacked the Shen family's assets and joined forces with rival companies to destroy many of Shen Shaosi's projects.
The Shen family’s capital chain was broken, the bank refused to lend money, and Shen Shaosi’s business was too large and soon collapsed.
The Shen family's businesses were like dominoes, one after another went bankrupt. Even if Shen Shaosi and his concubines sold their jewelry and real estate, they still couldn't fill such a huge hole.
The family moved to the slums, which was very crowded. Not only Shen Shaosi was not used to it, but also the group of wealthy drug addicts were not used to it.
They had no money and couldn't quit smoking, so in order to get the contraband, they killed Shen Shaosi and his concubines and dismembered their bodies.
But Zhang Shan did not meet their demands. Instead, she helped them call the police and boarded a plane abroad before the police arrived.
Abroad, Zhang Shan helped Zhilin quit his addiction. Although the process was very painful, he was successful in the end.
As for what happened to the children of the Shen family in the end, she didn't want to know.
