Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Wan couldn’t take it anymore. She walked over quickly and said to Li Jin, “Grandma, why did you come to us? You were the one who abandoned us. How can you have the face to come back now? Just because you’re old, that gives you the right to be so shameless?”
When Li Jin heard Xia Wan’s voice, she immediately turned around and began to cry, “How dare you talk to your own grandma like that?! Do you have any filial piety? You’ll get retribution for this!
The people around them heard the conversation between Xia Wan and Li Jin and were a little unhappy with Xia Wan.
No matter what this person had done, in their place, filial piety held a very high place. If a person was not filial, he would automatically leave a negative impression in the hearts of everyone.
So when Li Jin finished speaking, everyone began to point their fingers at Xia
Wan.
“This girl is pretty, but she’s too disrespectful to the elderly. It was her grandmother she was talking to. How could she speak to her grandmother like that? She’s really uneducated.
“In the future, we have to make sure our children keep a distance from her.
Otherwise, she will lead our children astray.”
“I don’t think you should be too arbitrary. That old lady looks harsh and doesn’t seem easy to get along with.”
Everyone in the village knew what had happened between Xia Wan and Li Jin, but now that she had moved, the neighbors didn’t know about her dispute with Li Jin. If she didn’t clarify things, it would only give Li Jin a chance to slander her.
She would be staying in this villa for a long time and have to get along with her neighbors. If she allowed them to misunderstand, it would cause a lot of trouble in the future.
So Xia Wan also started to act pitifully. She squeezed out tears from her eyes and said pitifully, “Grandma, when you saw that I helped someone set up a stall to earn money, you thought that I didn’t tell you the truth. You thought that I was hiding my income and wanted to search me in front of the villagers. I didn’t let you search me, so you got angry. When I wasn’t home, you scolded my father, causing him to fall from the ladder. His wrist was st.i.tched more than ten times, and he might not be able to lift heavy objects in the future. “When we owed you 3000 yuan for the medical bills, you came. We thought that our family had come and we were saved. I never thought that you were here to separate from us.
“Fine, we’ll move out. I said I’ll borrow 3000 yuan from you, write a note, and then return it to you. What did you say? You said you don’t have money.
“But grandma, my father’s monthly income is 300 yuan, and he gives you his entire monthly salary. He’s been doing it for almost 20 years, and after these 20 years, don’t you have 3000 yuan on you, Grandma? If you don’t have it, then who did you give it to? My brother and I only spend a few hundred yuan a year.
Grandma, where did all your money go?”
Xia Wan cried her heart out and looked like she was about to faint.
Xia Chen couldn’t take it anymore. He opened the door of the villa and was about to pick Xia Wan up.
Li Jin seized the opportunity and attempted to charge into the villa.
“Stop!” Xia Wan immediately shouted.
“Grandma, if you dare to go in, I’ll call the police and report you for trespa.s.sing!”
The word “call the police” scared Li Jin. She knew Xia Wan’s personality. This girl was now extreme and would do anything. If she said to call the police, she would really dare to call the police.
Li Jin pointed at Xia Wan, his eyes full of hatred. “D*mn you girl, how dare you call the police?! I’m your biological grandmother, and my son is sick now.
What’s wrong with me visiting him? Are you going to let the police arrest me if I go to see him? Is there any reason for this? Can’t I, as a mother, look at my own son?”
With that, Li Jin sat on the ground and began to wail.
It looked like she was wiping away her tears, but in fact, there was not a single tear in her eyes. Her acting was completely incomparable to Xia Wan’s.
“Grandma, are you very sad?” Xia Wan asked coldly. “Why can’t I see your tears?
Could it be that you’re just acting? You just have to cry loudly enough?”
Li Jin was immediately embarra.s.sed. No one noticed if Li Jin had shed a tear, but after Xia Wan said that, everyone looked at Li Jin and realized that it was just as she had said. Li Jin was only wailing, but there were no tears in his eyes.
“Tsk, I thought that this girl was unfilial. It turns out that she’s just taking advantage of her seniority. Just because she’s the elder, she’s bullying the younger generation. If she really did such a thing, she wouldn’t care about her son’s life. She’s too cruel..
