Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 58: Song Hui to spank daughter

Chapter 58: Song Hui to spank daughter

Song Hui was so anxious he sweated profusely. He had just been piling up firewood in the side room and wasn’t even halfway done when he heard the quarrel inside.

Tian Xiaoe saw him, looking as aggrieved as if she was the one who had been slapped: "My dear husband, you’re finally here. Our Xiao Hua is being bullied so miserably!"

"Shut up!" Song Hui shouted, "You’re making a disgraceful spectacle of yourself. Can’t you take the kids back to your parents’ home?"

This damned woman, really incapable of doing anything right.

What kind of temperament Xiao Hua has, others may not know but doesn’t her own mother? Mixing in and causing trouble for what?

Tian Xiaoe refused to back down: "My dear husband, Miss Yan said she wanted to check the surveillance footage. If Tang Tang insulted our Xiao Hua, she’d pay ten thousand yuan for every word! Although we’d have to repeat the scene of Xiao Hua being insulted in front of so many people, and it pains me as a mother, we have to consider Xiao Hua’s medical expenses!"

Her tone was so righteous, it made the netizens laugh.

[Does she think she’s bearing a great humiliation?]

[What kind of family is this? No wonder Xiao Hua dared to slap Tang Tang. Turns out her mother spoiled her rotten!]

[Xiaoyu cried last night; it seems she was not only moved by everyone’s concern but also reminded of her parents’ partiality, right?]

[Xiao Hua is sick, but she looks well-nourished and chubby! On the other hand, Xiaoyu... is so thin and frail...]

Mentioning the medical expenses, Song Hui was certainly tempted.

Ten thousand yuan for a word! Even he, who had just been listening at the door, was stunned into silence.

But Song Hui had seen a bit of the world, something Tian Xiaoe couldn’t match!

The people staying in their house now were celebrities! Their best skill was manipulating public opinion!

While accompanying Xiao Hua to the hospital, Song Hui had heard the nurses chatting about the show. When he got the village notice that the crew was coming to Neijia Town, he suddenly came up with a plan—he had to secure the right to host one of these celebrity guests.

It didn’t matter who it was, as long as he could show their family situation on camera and gain some sympathy from netizens; perhaps they would receive a constant stream of donations!

Would he then need to worry about medical expenses? Maybe he could even secretly save up some money to fill the financial gaps of the past few years!

Of course, Song Hui didn’t share such a meticulous plan with Tian Xiaoe, the woman with a short-circuited brain, lest she accidentally let it slip.

So Tian Xiaoe thought that her husband only cared about the two thousand yuan subsidy for hosting a celebrity, hurrying to say, "Ten thousand yuan for a word! How long would our family have to save to put together ten thousand yuan?!"

"You—" Song Hui wished he could slap this foolish woman, "If you really care about Xiao Hua, you’d take the kids and quietly go back to your parents’ house right now!"

Tian Xiaoe was stubborn: "I won’t leave! I want to see the surveillance footage!"

"Are you leaving or not?" Song Hui couldn’t be bothered to argue. He raised his dark, broad hand, ready to strike her.

"Hold on." Yan Yueqing intervened, "Big Brother Song, there’s nothing wrong with Sister Tian wanting to see the surveillance. If you stop her like this, it might be misconstrued by some... They’ll think our show is bullying people with our influence."

Song Hui took a sharp breath. He had been standing at the door for a while and had quickly recognized that Yan Yueqing was wealthy and powerful! Such a person must not be offended at all costs.

"Miss Yan, what are you saying? She’s my own wife and children, and it’s only right for me to discipline them! There’s no need to look at the surveillance footage. Xiao Hua has been spoiled by her mother. Coming back from the hospital, she was in a bad mood, so of course, she was the one who started it. What does this have to do with Tang Tang?" Song Hui was bowing and scraping, "I’ve seen the show, and Tang Tang is great. If Xiao Hua could be half as well-behaved as her, I’d be over the moon with gratitude!"

"My dear husband, why are you elevating others and belittling your own family?"

Tian Xiaoe felt that Song Hui had changed! No matter what, as the head of the household, he used to be very protective of her and Xiao Hua. How come after one trip back from the hospital, his attitude became so subservient?

Could it be... the doctor pronounced a death sentence on Xiao Hua, and he planned to abandon his wife and daughter?

Song Hui hadn’t had the chance to explain when Yan Yueqing spoke again, "Check the surveillance."

Three words, exceptionally resolute.

Qin Youran complained, "Yueqing, aren’t you being too aggressive? Big Brother Song is already trying to smooth things over. Why do you have to escalate things to this point?"

Yan Yueqing glanced at her indifferently, completely uninterested in engaging.

Having watched the drama unfold, Jun Yan looked up, "Bring in the high-definition screen, let Aunt Tian see it clearly."

When Yan Yueqing gave the order, the staff hesitated slightly.

Once Jun Yan spoke, everyone seemed pricked by a needle and instantly came to their senses.

Those fetching the screen did so, and those adjusting the footage did their work; within three minutes, everything was ready.

The production team was using ultra-high-definition cameras this time. Even the pores on the guests’ faces were crystal clear, not to mention several cameras were shooting in the room simultaneously! What had transpired was utterly in plain view.

In the footage, Tang Tang was simply speaking her mind when Tiantian quickly tried to stop her. Even if the two girls spat playfully, they only did so towards the ground, not at Song Xiaohua!

As for Song Xiaohua in the bed, she clearly woke up with a bad temper and, after hearing Tang Tang’s explanation, slapped her for no reason!

"Smack—"

The crisp sound struck at everyone’s hearts.

Staring at the screen, Yan Yueqing took a deep breath. Her morose temperament enveloped her entire body, making her look terribly intimidating.

Song Hui failed to prevent the situation from worsening and frantically prayed in his heart that there was a reason behind Xiao Hua’s actions!

But...

She was completely making trouble without a cause!

Not just Song Hui, but even Tian Xiaoe lowered her head guiltily, muttering with trembling lips, "It was... Tang Tang who first mentioned Xiao Hua’s leukemia..."

Yan Yueqing lifted her eyelids, "Big Brother Song, do you think I should accept this money?"

Tian Xiaoe bit her lip, tugging discreetly at Song Hui’s sleeve.

Since they had already lost face, why not take the money?

For the first time, Song Hui harbored the thought of divorce in his heart and apologized with his head down, "I’m sorry... Tang Tang... it was Xiao Hua who lost her temper... She hit you, so I will hit her back for you!"

As he finished, he raised his hand to slap Song Xiaohua’s face! Tian Xiaoe quickly grabbed him, crying and yelling, "Head of the family, even if Xiao Hua is at fault, please forgive her considering her illness... The doctor has given her a death sentence, she’s heartbroken! Miss Yan, if you want us to apologize, isn’t it enough for me to kneel and kowtow? Your slap could kill Xiao Hua!!"

Qin Youran chimed in, "Yueqing, you’re a mother yourself. Can’t you understand Sister Tian’s feelings?"

Yan Yueqing let out a cold laugh, "I’ve realized you people are really good actors, starting by forcing Tang Tang to apologize, and now that the truth is out, you’re playing the loving mother-daughter card? What... is it difficult to endure if you don’t put on this show?"
