The Truth (Part 3)

She had been a very kind woman. To repay Mother Shen for raising her, she had handed over those two silver coins to Mother Shen before jumping into a well to end her life.
To Mother Shen, Wu Xiaohua was both a daughter-in-law and a daughter.
Furthermore, Qin Xiu had always been cold toward Ban Xia, leaving her in the countryside without a second thought, which made Mother Shen dislike her even more.
Mother Shen had always refused to hand those two silver coins over to Shen Sibao.
If Shen Sibao wanted to privatize the pharmaceutical factory, he absolutely needed capital so he could control the shares.
Silver coins could be converted into money, but his elderly mother refused to give them to him, driving him to the brink of madness.
However, privatizing a large-scale pharmaceutical factory was no easy feat, and he couldn't use brute force against the old lady; he could only coax her slowly. Thus, Shen Sibao spent his time negotiating the privatization with foreign businessmen and the government on one hand, while trying to win over the old lady on the other.
After years of maneuvering, everything had finally been settled just three months ago. Shen Sibao had been planning to take the coins by force if the old lady still refused, but as fate would have it, before he could rush home, she suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage and passed away.
Before she closed her eyes, she left only one instruction for her grandson: the silver coins were for Ban Xia, and only for Ban Xia.
Shen Sibao had already ransacked the house in the countryside. Ban Xia was only a five-year-old child, and she only had those few sets of clothes, which Qin Xiu had already shredded. The child was being driven to the brink of insanity, yet the silver coins were still nowhere to be found. What was to be done? Their only hope now still rested on Ban Xia, so they had to coax her into coming back tomorrow.
Opening another blanket, Shen Sibao asked, "Can you get Ban Xia to come back?" Qin Xiu desperately wanted to say something to the man, but her husband showed no reaction. She could only say bitterly and resentfully, "Don't worry, I'm her mother. She loves me so much. I'll just have to coax her a bit when the time comes. What child can truly leave their mother?" But after a moment's thought, she added, "By the way, husband, I think Fadian is very difficult to deal with. He keeps making a scene, saying Ban Xia isn't mine. If he opposes me again when I go to pick her up tomorrow, what should I do?"
Shen Sibao frowned. "Lin Jun’s womb is truly talented; even the trash she gives birth to is stronger than other people's children."
"I heard you used to pursue Lin Jun too. How come you couldn't get her? Her womb certainly produces well, popping out three sons one after another, just like a..." Before Qin Xiu could finish the words "mother pig," a sharp *slap* rang out. Shen Sibao had directly struck her across the face.
"Do you think you're worthy of speaking Lin Jun's name? You should call her Professor Lin. She is currently a professor in Hong Guo!"
