Chapter 49 Qian Danu Comes Knocking
Reading Settings
Hearing Qian Daniu's increasingly offensive and vulgar curses, Ma Aning trembled with anger.
She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes blazing with fury, as if she were about to rush out the door at any moment to argue with the other person or even start a fight.
Shen Zishan, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and stepped forward, pulling Ma Aning into his arms tightly.
"Don't be impulsive! Let her rant. We don't need to stoop to her level."
"Wait a minute, let's go directly to Uncle Village Chief and Uncle Brigade Leader, and sign that statement severing ties in front of them. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with this family!"
While tightly embracing the emotionally agitated Ma Aning, Shen Zishan gently comforted her.
Meanwhile, Qian Daniu outside the door showed no sign of stopping. She stood with her hands on her hips, spewing out all sorts of vicious words. Her once pretty face was now twisted and ferocious with rage.
She kept cursing and pounding on the door with her palms until they were red and swollen, but no matter how hard she tried, the tightly closed door remained unmoved, and her mouth was dry from all the cursing.
When Wenli heard that her daughter had given birth, she came to Shenjia Village with big bags and small packages. She could hear Qian Daniu's wailing from afar.
Hearing her hurl such vile insults, his anger flared instantly, and he rushed straight at her in a few strides.
She raised her hand and slapped the face, which was filled with meanness and anger, without any mercy, and shouted, "Can you even be considered a mother? How could you say such vicious words to your own son? How can there be such a heartless mother in the world?"
Qian Danu was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "So what if I cursed him viciously? Why don't you go and find out what good things this little beast has done?"
After being slapped hard, Qian Daniu was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting. She immediately flew into a rage, yelling back and lunging at Wenli with her claws outstretched, as if she were ready to fight her to the death.
Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open, and Ma Aning, upon hearing her mother's familiar scolding voice, rushed out in a panic.
With lightning speed, she stepped forward and grabbed Qian Daniu's hands, which were about to swing at Wenli, while shouting, "Have you made enough trouble yet? Do you really want to force us to expose all the shameful things you've done?"
"Hmph! Go ahead and say it if you dare! No matter how much I've gone too far, that little beast Shen Zishan actually dared to send me to the police station. He's worse than a pig or a dog, and it's an outrage against heaven!"
"Why doesn't God send down a thunderbolt to strike this heartless bastard to death?" Qian Daniu became even more agitated when she saw Ma Aning appear. She struggled to break free of her restraints and rush into the room while continuing to curse.
"Fine! Since you're so stubborn, let's make things clear in front of everyone today! Tell me, why do we have to send you to the police station?"
Ma Aning was so angry that she trembled uncontrollably, her face turned ashen, and her eyes widened as she glared at her unreasonable mother-in-law.
"If you hadn't so confidently promised to go to the hospital to help take care of the child, how could we have trusted you to go!"
"Who would have thought that you went there with ill intentions, only wanting to take the opportunity to secretly sell my children! Well, the net of justice is wide and its meshes are fine, yet nothing escapes it, and we caught you red-handed!"
Ma Aning bit her lip tightly, trembling with anger. She slowly closed her eyes, trying to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.
She raised her hand, quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and continued to glare angrily at the utterly despicable person in front of her.
"Even though we caught you red-handed in your shady dealings, you showed absolutely no remorse. You even tried to have someone take the child away, and then you tried to snatch the child yourself. You're utterly depraved!"
"And you refused to return a single penny of the money you got from selling the child! You only returned the money after the police came to pay it back,"
At this point, Ma Aning could no longer control her emotions, her voice becoming increasingly high-pitched and shrill as she glared at Qian Daniu with hatred.
At this moment, the previously quiet crowd that had been watching the commotion suddenly erupted, with people whispering and discussing among themselves.
"Oh dear, I really didn't expect this. Although the Shen family isn't exactly rich, they're not so poor that they can't even afford to eat, are they?"
"When we divided the family property a while ago, everyone got more than 200 yuan, so we should be living a fairly comfortable life!"
Just then, Li Erhua, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, suddenly pushed through the crowd, rushed to the front, and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"That's right! This family just finished dividing their assets and received such a large sum of money, and now they're trying to sell their own grandchildren. This kind of old person has absolutely no morals!"
"When she gets old, don't expect her children to take care of her!" another villager chimed in indignantly.
"Hmph! What do you people know? I'm doing all this for their sake!"
“You should open your eyes and take a good look. One of them has injured her leg and can’t even work; and the other one just gave birth and hasn’t even finished her postpartum confinement.”
"With their condition, how could they possibly support those two children? So, I sold my children to help them out a little. Is that wrong?"
With her hands on her hips, Qian Daniu retorted to the crowd with an air of self-righteousness, looking like she was trying to make sense even when she was being unreasonable.
Everyone present was stunned by Qian Daniu's shameless remarks.
"People in our village usually say I'm a scoundrel, but in my opinion, compared to you, I'm nothing!"
“Your thick skin and sharp tongue are far more impressive than mine! You can make black seem white,” Li Erhua blurted out, her face full of astonishment.
"Don't give me that nonsense! Shen Zishan, you heartless beast! You actually want to send me to the police station! You'll be struck by lightning! You'll get what's coming to you, you'll definitely die a horrible death!"
Qian Danu started cursing like a madwoman, her sharp and piercing voice echoing throughout the entire courtyard.
