"Is there such a thing? I wondered why they brought someone here for no reason, even bringing their whole family to live here. So this was their intention, how shameless."
"Although Man Tun's wife didn't give birth to a son, she at least had Li Shu and the others. Man Tun didn't say anything, I really don't understand what Old Mrs. Chen is thinking."
"If you ask me, the fear isn't that there are no good things, but that there are no good people. Man Cang's wife is just jealous that Man Tun's family is doing well, she can do such wicked things."
The people standing at the courtyard entrance began to murmur.
Zhang Chunhua's body was already burning with pain, and upon hearing everyone's discussion, her hatred grew tenfold. Her gaze fell upon Old Mrs. Chen not far away, and she immediately hid behind her as if seeing a savior.
Seeing that Chen Li Shu was no longer pursuing her, Zhang Chunhua, while breathing a sigh of relief, began to scheme rapidly in her mind.
How dare this bitch Chen Li Shu hit her, she must teach her a lesson! Glancing at Old Mrs. Chen in front of her, Zhang Chunhua's eyes flashed. She leaned in and whispered a few words into her ear. Old Mrs. Chen's drooping eyelids suddenly perked up, and when she turned to look at Chen Man Tun, she forced out two tears:
"Man Tun, everything your mother is doing today is for your own good. You're so old and don't even have a son. If I meet your father in the afterlife, he'll definitely blame me."
When had Old Mrs. Chen ever treated Chen Man Tun so kindly? This immediately brought Chen Man Tun's guilt to its peak, and he said painfully, "Mom, it's all my son's incompetence."
Chen Li Shu's heart sank when she saw Chen Man Tun's state.
Old Mrs. Chen looked at her useless son and couldn't help but sneer. Useless people are always useless. She only said a few nice words, and he actually believed her.
"Man Tun, listen to your mother. I've already had someone look into it for you. You were supposed to have sons, it must be that surname Wu who is cursing you. Chun Yan has given birth to two sons, she definitely..."
"Mom!"
Chen Man Tun interrupted her. When he looked up, his eyes were slightly moist, and his voice choked, "Mom, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I really can't abandon the child's mother. Although she hasn't given me sons, she's suffered a lot with me. I know I'm not capable, and it's quite good to have these daughters."
Seemingly having made a great resolution, Chen Man Tun quickly wiped his eyes: "Mom, I accept my fate."
"Man Tun..." Wu Chun Mei stood at the doorway, her bundle in her arms. Hearing Chen Man Tun's words, tears instantly streamed down her face.
Not being able to give Chen Man Tun sons had always been a deep pain in her heart. She had already prepared to give up her position, but unexpectedly heard Chen Man Tun's words. She covered her face and cried uncontrollably.
"Accept what fate? If you can't give birth to a son, are you worthy of the Chen family? You useless bum, what's so good about that woman that she's captivated you so much? You don't even listen to your mother anymore?"
Old Mrs. Chen was about to be driven mad. The second family was really defying heaven, one by one they all disregarded her.
Chen Man Tun let Old Mrs. Chen scratch him, hanging his head and refusing to yield.
Seeing that blood beads had already been scratched from Chen Man Tun's face by Old Mrs. Chen, Chen Li Shu, with a solemn expression, walked two steps forward, pushed her away, and looked at her with a cold gaze: "Grandma, are you done yet? If you cause any more trouble, I really won't be polite."
"I'm disciplining my own son, why are you, this little brat, interfering? You all want to go against me, are you trying to anger me to death?"
Old Mrs. Chen, furious, pounded her chest twice, then her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
"Mom!"
Chen Man Tun was startled when he saw her faint and reached out to help her. Zhang Chunhua was faster, as if prepared, and quickly hugged her.
Wu Chun Mei forgot to cry and rushed over to check the situation, scared.
Chen Li Shu's heart also fluttered a little at the moment the person fell. If Old Mrs. Chen had a serious accident, their whole family would be implicated.
"You two, the couple, have angered Mom to the point of fainting. Are you satisfied now!" Zhang Chunhua waved her arm, not letting Chen Man Tun and his wife get close at all.
The onlookers outside the courtyard stopped watching and pushed open the courtyard gate to come in, offering advice volubly.
"Pinch her philtrum, if someone faints, you must pinch their philtrum."
"The old lady is old, don't hold her like that, lay her flat. If not, go to the team and borrow a car to take her to the clinic."
Reminded by everyone, Chen Man Tun came back to his senses and quickly reached out to pinch Old Mrs. Chen's philtrum. Unfortunately, Zhang Chunhua held her tightly, not allowing anyone to get close.
"Now you know to be scared? What were you doing before? If something happens to Mom, I will never let your family off!"
"Sister-in-law, saving Mom is the priority now. Please give Mom to me." Chen Man Tun was sweating profusely, but Zhang Chunhua just wouldn't let him get close.
Chen Li Shu was only startled at first but quickly calmed down. Seeing Zhang Chunhua shielding Old Mrs. Chen and preventing everyone from getting close, she suspected there was something fishy going on. A normal person would be anxious to find a way to help if someone fainted. But she, not only didn't care about Old Mrs. Chen's life or death, but kept scolding them.
With her suspicion confirmed, Chen Li Shu ignored Zhang Chunhua's consent and grabbed her collar, pulling her back.
"Auntie, everyone is trying to save my grandma. Can you afford to be responsible for delaying the treatment?"
Chen Li Shu, pretending to be anxious, looked up at Chen Man Tun and said, "Dad, quickly pinch her philtrum!"
Seeing that there was no more obstruction, Chen Man Tun responded and quickly stepped forward to pinch Old Mrs. Chen's philtrum.
At the critical moment, Old Mrs. Chen truly went all out. Despite the excruciating pain, she gritted her teeth and kept her eyes tightly shut, determined to teach the second family a lesson.
Because Chen Li Shu had a suspicion, she paid close attention to Old Mrs. Chen's reaction while Chen Man Tun was pinching her philtrum. Although her eyes remained closed, she clearly saw Old Mrs. Chen's hand, which was hanging by her side, clenching into a fist due to the pain.
"Li Shu, it's no use." Chen Man Tun, in his haste, sweat dripped into his eyes. He blinked twice, stood up, and said, "I'll go to the team and hitch a cart. If we delay any longer, it might not be appropriate."
When Zhang Chunhua saw that Old Mrs. Chen had stabilized, her tense body immediately relaxed. She let out a long sigh and began to yell: "If anything happens to Mom, it's all your family's fault. Ungrateful family, you..."
Chen Li Shu suddenly released her grip on Zhang Chunhua's clothes. Zhang Chunhua, not expecting her to let go so abruptly, lost her balance and fell backward onto the ground. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Dad, maybe your strength wasn't enough. How about I try it?" Chen Li Shu ignored Zhang Chunhua and walked closer to Old Mrs. Chen.
