Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 50 - 050 Does nobody care about her?

Chapter 50: 050 Does nobody care about her?

The online debate over this issue was incredibly intense at the time.

Some people thought that it was normal for Song Xiaoyu to not want to donate because she had suffered too much, asking why she must be morally coerced?

Others felt that Song Xiaoyu was just throwing a tantrum, and deep down, she truly loved her sister. They believed that if she allowed her anger to cause her sister’s death, she would be troubled by her conscience for life.

Youran ignored the fans’ discussions and took the initiative to fundraise for Xiaoyu, staying by her side to offer support and encouragement.

After the surgery was successful, the little girl said through tears in front of the camera, "It was Aunt Youran’s patient persuasion that helped me get out of my stubbornness. If I hadn’t been able to save Sister today, I would surely regret it for the rest of my life."

Subsequent reports followed through two episodes, capturing nothing but the joyful harmony of the family.

With that, the online public opinion came to an end!

All comments were full of praise for Youran’s strategic thinking and patient thoroughness.

But now... The mission assigned by the system was, "Find Song Xiaoyu’s biological parents within one month."

What does this imply?

It implies that the current parents of Song Xiaoyu are not her biological ones.

Does Xiaoyu know this?

Do her parents... know about this?

To Xiaoyu, are they the wrong family, foster parents, or is it something else?

It was not odd for Yueqing to overthink. The book’s description of this part was not detailed and even contained many contradictions! Probably the author’s poor writing was to blame, trying to create a perfect Youran but failing to address the details properly, making the character setup seem very odd with just a closer look!

It was from this Chapter that Yueqing started to feel that the original female lead was a bit too saintly.

Now that she was bound to Xiaoyu, Yueqing decided to investigate the matter thoroughly, "Xiaoyu, you just mentioned there are two vacant rooms in your house, could we possibly stay there?"

Seeing that there were four of them, Xiaoyu hesitated, saying, "Pretty Auntie, the rooms in my house are very small..."

"It doesn’t matter, we’re all kids, we won’t take up much space."

Xiaoyu was quite hesitant; she actually wanted everyone to come stay at her house. The empty rooms could also help earn some extra money for her sister’s medicine.

But...

Could they really fit? What if she couldn’t host them properly and they ended up not paying?

Tang Tang was overly enthusiastic, grabbing Xiaoyu’s hand, "Sister, let us go see! If there’s not enough room, I can sleep with you~~~ Hehe, other than Sister Yueqing, I haven’t shared a bed with any other sisters. Would you mind if Tang Tang talks too much at night?"

Xiaoyu quickly waved her hands, "Not at all! You’re so clean, I’m afraid I’ll get your clothes dirty..."

Thinking about the firewood room she lived in, she lowered her head feeling somewhat inferior.

Tang Tang didn’t mind at all, cooing, "Let’s go, let’s go~~~~"

No one had ever acted so sweetly toward her. Being a perfect sweet girl, Xiaoyu couldn’t resist and felt a surge of tender affection from the bottom of her heart, "Alright, then let’s all go to my house. If it’s uncomfortable for everyone, I’ll take you to Uncle Zhu’s or Grandma Wang’s place."

"Yay~~"

Youran appeared to smile on the surface, but deep down, she itched with resentment.

This episode was originally meant to feature her and Tang Tang as a team, with the addition of Song Xiaoyu boosting the popularity through the roof! Who would have thought that Yan Yueqing would barge in, snatch Tang Tang away, and now she’s eyeing Xiaoyu too?

She refused to allow such a thing to happen!

Tang Tang was a natural at making friends quickly, and on the way to Xiaoyu’s home, she chatted sweetly the entire time, easily coaxing out her family situation.

"So, you have an older sister... who’s ill, right? The treatment must be pretty expensive! My dad invests in a foundation for critically ill children, maybe he could help... And you have a younger brother too? Sister Xiaoyu, you’re amazing, taking care of so many people... Did your parents take your sister and brother to the hospital? Weird, why would they leave you alone at home? Sister Xiaoyu is their daughter too..."

As expected, just like described in the books, the live comments were abuzz with heated discussion regarding their conversation.

[Children from remote villages really have a tough life... looking after the family and even working to earn money.]

[I don’t think it’s the village kids who suffer, it’s Song Xiaoyu! She might not realize it, but her parents really play favorites.]

[Xiaoyu’s situation is a bit like mine, an older sister above, a younger brother below. The sister, being their first, is cherished like a treasure; the brother, being the youngest, is doted on like the apple of their eye! Only I, stuck in the middle, though my parents care, certainly don’t feel the same...]

[The sister goes to the hospital because she is sick, the little brother needs care, so they leave the one in the middle to stay at home and make money? Isn’t this favoritism?]

[Many would say, the sister’s illness and the brother’s frailty deserve attention! But should the healthy middle child bear the brunt of the family’s responsibilities? It’s the parents’ doing, if they can’t afford to, then don’t have so many kids, it’s like they make it seem Song Xiaoyu owes them.]

Once at home, seeing the tidy two rooms, Song Xiaoyu shyly introduced, "This larger room is where my parents sleep, and the one next to it is my sister’s room, it’s a bit smaller."

Tang Tang looked around, the room was small but very tidy, clearly cleaned every day.

"Before coming to the town, I heard that a film crew would be visiting, so my parents told me to tidy up the house. I heard that if it’s chosen to be a guest’s residence, they’d pay a sum of money!" Song Xiaoyu was young and spoke the truth, "But then they said they weren’t choosing houses anymore... It made me upset for a long time... It’s not just because I couldn’t make the money... but also... I’ve seen a bit of your show, everyone seems so happy..."

Tang Tang blinked, "Sister Xiaoyu, do you like our show? Then I’ll talk to Dad and invite you to be a guest next time!"

Song Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Just as Song Xiaoyu’s smile began to spread across her face, she seemed to remember something, and it immediately froze at the edges of her lips, "But I don’t have time to go..."

Tang Tang asked with concern, "Do you need to stay at home?"

Song Xiaoyu pursed her lips, not wanting to say too much. She calmed herself before looking up, "Go ahead and pick your rooms, Aunties."

Tang Tang genuinely wanted to spend time with Song Xiaoyu, "Sister Xiaoyu, which room do you stay in? Do you usually sleep with your sister?"

Song Xiaoyu’s face paled slightly, she hesitated, "I... I..."

"What’s wrong?" Tang Tang didn’t understand.

In Song Xiaoyu’s eyes emerged a complex sense of inferiority, and after a few seconds, she quickly raised her hand and pointed towards a small door in the distance, "I stay over there..."

Tang Tang chuckled, "Can I go take a look?"

After receiving permission, she briskly ran over and pushed open the door.

The narrow room was cluttered with firewood and dead leaves, and in a corner stood a small bed pieced together from broken wood. Although it was tidied very neatly, it seemed out of place compared to the other two rooms.

A dim and darkened lightbulb hung from the ceiling beam, and even when switched on, it only gave off a faint warmth.

Tang Tang was stunned, "Sister Xiaoyu, you live in a place like this?"
