"...." Qiu Hualan wanted to say something in rebuttal, opened her mouth, but didnât know how to refute. This matter was indeed her daughterâs fault. People asked for a divorce, and they couldnât say anything since they were in the wrong. "Then... why did my daughter suddenly go mad?"
"Talking about this, weâre also very angry. Ever since your daughter entered our family home, sheâs never stopped causing trouble. She even made me so angry that I fell ill. You know Lin Wan, right? She should be from the same village as you. She is now part of our family. Compared to Lin Wanâs background, your daughter pales in comparison, so the elderly members of our family were biased towards Lin Wan, and had opinions about your daughter. Your daughter was very jealous and started having bad thoughts. She set up a car accident to hit someone, but instead, she was found out when she didnât succeed. When the plan was exposed and she saw that she couldnât escape, she began to act foolish and insane. Then she secretly planned to escape. To run away, she took advantage of my son when he wasnât paying attention, stole his money, pocketed tens of thousands of yuan, abandoned her son, and ran away alone. Perhaps karma came quickly, and she hadnât gotten far when a group targeted her. They ended up kidnapping her and taking her money. Those people somehow stimulated your daughter, and she ended up going mad. It was people from our compound who found her later. By the time she returned, she had already lost her mind. After all, she was the daughter-in-law of our Mei Family. Even knowing she had stolen money, no matter how much we disliked her, we wouldnât have been so heartless to abandon her. If it werenât for my sonâs remaining fondness, he wouldnât have sent her to the hospital. Lady, you can inquire around our compound and see if what Iâm saying is true. The things your daughter did even had the police involved. Weâve been more than obliging towards your daughter.
As for the childâs matter, we didnât make it public. My "grandson" Mei Chunhua already died of illness. Now, the one who remains is their biological grandson and has nothing to do with us. So when you go out, donât tell anyone that our Hua Hua is our grandson. We canât afford that embarrassment."
For a moment, Qiu Hualan was left speechless by Xie Lingzhiâs words, with no opportunity to refute. No matter how she explained, it was her daughterâs fault. She knew that over the years her daughter had tiptoed around Mei Langchi, afraid of displeasing them. She also knew that the Mei Family wouldnât take kindly to her daughter; after all, they were from the countryside. Most city people looked down on those from the countryside, not to mention this woman in front of her.
Judging by her demeanor, it was clear what kind of person she was. These years, her daughter must have endured a lot, bowing and scraping to her.
She believed that if her daughter werenât forced, Ah Qing wouldnât have done such things.
"Anyway, now sheâs like this, and the child has been taken by his biological grandparents. What your daughter did, she has to bear the consequences herself. Now that youâre here, weâre at ease. We donât have to worry about this anymore. Also, since you want to transfer Ye Qing to another hospital, just do it. Initially, because of the theft, she was still under police surveillance. Of course, seeing how youâve come all this way, we can make some accommodations for you. Besides, my son paid quite a bit of money for your daughter.
If it were truly returned, we wouldnât care about that money. Consider it our good deed."
"Youâre going too far saying this. What good deeds? Our Ah Qing doesnât need you playing the good guy now." Qiu Hualan felt a fire of anger rise in her heart seeing Xie Lingzhiâs expression. Whatâs the big deal, just because of a city registration? She has one too now; her daughter was originally about to become a city person too.
She doesnât believe her daughter would steal Mei Langchiâs money. Her daughter has a business mind. She even heard from her father a couple of years ago that Ah Qing brought back quite a bit of money. She must have been doing some business herself; how could she lack Mei Langchiâs money? There must be something else going on, but she just didnât know it.
Now with her daughter like this, and them being strangers in this place, plus the Mei Family being so influential, even if they investigated, they wouldnât find anything.
"Howâs it not playing the good guy? Look at the things your daughter did. Our family has been very merciful. Donât cause trouble. If you want to take your daughter, do it quickly. If you have pride, leave the money, as we donât want to give it anyway." Hmph, if it werenât for her son saying that the money returned should be kept for Ye Qingâs mom, she wouldnât have been so kind-hearted to leave so much money for Ye Qingâs family. Who knows what her son is thinking; Ye Qing treated him like that, and he still helps them.
"Why shouldnât I take it? Iâll not only take it, but Iâll also take it rightfully. Youâre Mei Langchiâs mother, right? You can go and ask him if this money is worth it or not. If I asked him for money, heâd probably give it to me without a second thought. Woman, the way you act here is nothing but a clownâs antics." After listening to Xie Lingzhiâs chatter, Qiu Hualan finally found her footing. She had endured so much bitterness over these years; she wouldnât continue being a pushover in the coming days.
