The Stepmother’s Counterattack: Raising a Child in a Bygone Era

In the blink of an eye, another New Year’s Eve arrived.

Before New Year’s Eve, Gao Hualiang and Huang Chunyu were both tried in court.

Gao Hualiang, as the mastermind and perpetrator of fraud and human trafficking, committed vicious and cruel acts and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.

Huang Chunyu, as an accomplice involved in planning and assisting, was relatively less culpable and was sentenced to six years in prison.

The wrongdoers were finally brought to justice, but Shen Baolan’s family couldn’t feel happy.

Gao Hualiang’s assets in Thailand, which should have been returned to Shen Baolan as dirty money, had not been received yet.

"The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and we still haven’t sorted out the New Year goods. We’ve sold the pigs, and it’s still not enough to pay off debts. How are we going to get through this year!?"

At the dinner table, hearing Tian Wenfang’s complaints, Shen Hao and Shen Dashan, father and son, both looked worried.

The father and son usually worked at the furniture factory in town, earning enough to support the whole family.

But after the cold weather caused the furniture factory to close, cutting off their income, the family faced financial difficulties. Creditors pressed them to the point where they had to sell the family’s pigs and poultry.
