Chapter 930: Chapter 930 Treat Him 2

As soon as she heard these words, Old Lady Liu’s temper flared up, and she went straight in and snapped, "Food can be chosen randomly, but words can’t be recklessly spoken. What do you mean calling Mianmian a thankless wretch? What has she done to look like a thankless wretch?"

"I’m talking about Mianmian, not your Xiaocui. Why are you getting so worked up?" retorted the woman who had been speaking ill of Shen Mianmian, now feeling somewhat guilty.

"Although Mianmian isn’t my biological daughter, I’ve always treated her as if she were," said Old Lady Liu.

As soon as she said this, someone laughed mockingly, "Now that Mianmian has gotten into college, you treat her as your daughter. Let me tell you, sucking up to her is futile. Jianhua raised her for so many years, wasn’t that in vain? That girl is heartless—anyone who raises her is cursed."

These people had long forgotten the hardships Shen Mianmian had faced from a young age. In their eyes, it was normal for parents to hit their children; that wasn’t considered abuse, nor was it abnormal to deny them education.

There were many in the village who hadn’t gone to school, but abandoning one’s parents was unacceptable.

Especially in the case of Shen Mianmian, who wasn’t even Shen Jianhua’s biological child yet had been raised by him for so many years, and then she just left—wasn’t that like raising a thankless wretch?

Even a dog wouldn’t dare to leave home.

"Who are you talking about?" Old Lady Liu’s face turned red with anger, "Zhou Siyu was raised for so many years and hasn’t been seen up to now. Why haven’t I seen you gossiping about that? Why are you so fixated on Mianmian? Did she desecrate your family’s ancestral grave?"

The way that Mianmian had lived back then was known to everyone, and it angered her to hear them still saying such things now.

"Zhou Siyu is still studying and doesn’t have money, while Mianmian is with He Nan now and has plenty of money. How can that be the same?"

"Having money means she should spend it all on their family?"

Old Lady Liu was so infuriated she was going mad, and she even forgot to mention that Shen Mianmian had arranged treatment for Shen Jianhua. It was Li Chunhua who intervened, seeing the quarrel getting more intense.

"You all don’t know the truth of the matter. Don’t gossip behind people’s backs. Who says Mianmian hasn’t arranged treatment for Jianhua? She’s already contacted the hospital, and they’re about to transfer him there now."

"What?"

The villagers inside the house were all stunned.

"Chunhua, are you saying that Mianmian is going to pay for Jianhua’s cancer treatment?"

"He’s got cancer, which costs a significant amount of money. Where would Mianmian get so much money? Even if He Nan is willing to pay, he wouldn’t be willing to contribute that much, would he?"

"Wasn’t she acting like she didn’t plan to bother with him before? How come she suddenly decided to pay for Jianhua’s treatment?"

Everyone was shocked, but they also knew that Li Chunhua wouldn’t lie. That meant Shen Mianmian was indeed going to pay for Shen Jianhua’s treatment.

Seeing everyone’s astonished expressions, Old Lady Liu snorted and said, "Now you won’t call her a thankless wretch anymore, will you? Making wild guesses and speaking nonsense without knowing the facts, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue? Mianmian opened a vegetable shop in the city and has plenty of money. My daughter works in her shop. Stop chattering nonsense for no reason."

"Even if Mianmian hadn’t paid for Jianhua’s treatment, she wouldn’t have done anything wrong. If Mianmian had obediently complied, not gone to school or earned money, where would the money to treat Jianhua have come from?"

The more she talked, the angrier Old Lady Liu became. In the past two years, she hadn’t really gone around visiting homes in the village, and the reason was simple: her family had earned some money, Xiaocui was working in the city, and that had made others jealous, leading to them spreading malicious gossip. Some even claimed Xiaocui wasn’t doing a proper job in the city, which infuriated her so much she went and fought with someone over it.
