"...." Qiu Hualan wanted to say something in rebuttal, opened her mouth, but didn’t know how to refute. This matter was indeed her daughter’s fault. People asked for a divorce, and they couldn’t say anything since they were in the wrong. "Then... why did my daughter suddenly go mad?"

"Talking about this, we’re also very angry. Ever since your daughter entered our family home, she’s 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 Wan’s 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 didn’t succeed. When the plan was exposed and she saw that she couldn’t 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 wasn’t paying attention, stole his money, pocketed tens of thousands of yuan, abandoned her son, and ran away alone. Perhaps karma came quickly, and she hadn’t 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 wouldn’t have been so heartless to abandon her. If it weren’t for my son’s remaining fondness, he wouldn’t have sent her to the hospital. Lady, you can inquire around our compound and see if what I’m saying is true. The things your daughter did even had the police involved. We’ve been more than obliging towards your daughter.

As for the child’s matter, we didn’t 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, don’t tell anyone that our Hua Hua is our grandson. We can’t afford that embarrassment."

For a moment, Qiu Hualan was left speechless by Xie Lingzhi’s words, with no opportunity to refute. No matter how she explained, it was her daughter’s 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 wouldn’t 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. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

She believed that if her daughter weren’t forced, Ah Qing wouldn’t have done such things.

"Anyway, now she’s 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 you’re here, we’re at ease. We don’t 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 you’ve 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 wouldn’t care about that money. Consider it our good deed."

"You’re going too far saying this. What good deeds? Our Ah Qing doesn’t need you playing the good guy now." Qiu Hualan felt a fire of anger rise in her heart seeing Xie Lingzhi’s expression. What’s 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 doesn’t believe her daughter would steal Mei Langchi’s 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 Langchi’s money? There must be something else going on, but she just didn’t 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 wouldn’t find anything.

"How’s it not playing the good guy? Look at the things your daughter did. Our family has been very merciful. Don’t cause trouble. If you want to take your daughter, do it quickly. If you have pride, leave the money, as we don’t want to give it anyway." Hmph, if it weren’t for her son saying that the money returned should be kept for Ye Qing’s mom, she wouldn’t have been so kind-hearted to leave so much money for Ye Qing’s family. Who knows what her son is thinking; Ye Qing treated him like that, and he still helps them.

"Why shouldn’t I take it? I’ll not only take it, but I’ll also take it rightfully. You’re Mei Langchi’s mother, right? You can go and ask him if this money is worth it or not. If I asked him for money, he’d probably give it to me without a second thought. Woman, the way you act here is nothing but a clown’s antics." After listening to Xie Lingzhi’s chatter, Qiu Hualan finally found her footing. She had endured so much bitterness over these years; she wouldn’t continue being a pushover in the coming days.
