Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 204 What a crime

"Mom, you, you went next door and caused trouble?"

The neighbors next door are actually quite reasonable.

At least one thing is certain—if others don't bother them, they won't go looking for trouble.

"What do you mean I should make a scene? It's all because of you, you shameless bastard! Why did you borrow money from them?" Mother Hao was so angry she had nowhere to vent her frustration.

She really suffered a huge loss today, and she's so angry she's about to explode.

It wasn't just her reputation and money that she lost.

Most importantly, I lost my front teeth.

She's still slurring her words!

How is she supposed to go out now?

Cui Meihong was holding the child and didn't dare to say anything more to her.

What if I accidentally touch my daughter's face?
"You think the neighbors next door are anything special? Ha, are you even grateful to them for lending you money? The moment you left, they asked me for it back."

Hao's mother said this in a low voice.

After all, the two houses are just two walls, so there's no soundproofing at all.

If that old hag next door heard this, she might just storm over to her house!

Cui Meihong saw that she was cursing so hard and showed no sign of stopping.

The child being held looked a little scared, so she forced a smile and said, "Mom, let me go inside and put you down."

Her words made Hao's mother even angrier.

Then I saw that the girl's face was covered in some kind of green stuff.

"How much is this medicine? Give the rest of the money back to your mother."

"I spent two yuan, and I have three yuan left—"

"Give it to me quickly, and also give me this medicine."

Cui Meihong couldn't quite understand what her mother-in-law was saying. Asking for money was one thing; that was just her mother-in-law's personality.

But why take the ointment?
"Mom, the doctor said that I need to apply the cream to my face for a while—otherwise, I'll have scars later."

"Just take it out when I tell you to! Stop with the nonsense! And are you blind? Can't you see how swollen my face is? Give me this medicine—"

Seeing that she didn't move, Hao's mother simply started searching her.

Then he took the tube of ointment and the money out of Cui Meihong's pocket.

Cui Meihong was stunned.

She became anxious, especially when she saw her mother-in-law open the tube of ointment and squeeze out a large amount.

"Mom, this is for burns, it's for Nannan, you can't use it. Your face is all red and bruised. I'll boil two eggs and roll them around in it for you, that'll do the trick."

She didn't buy much to begin with.

The doctor said that the ointment was in limited supply, and there was only one tube left. It needed to be transferred from the pharmaceutical factory, which would take some time.

When she heard this, she secretly thought she was lucky.

Therefore, we pay special attention to this tube of ointment.

"Pah! What do you mean I can't use it? Aren't they all medicine? Why can't I use it? Or do you think I'm not worthy of using it?"
"Mom, the doctor said this is the last tube of ointment; the hospital won't have any more for several days. Give this to Nannan; you really don't need it for your face—"

When Hao's mother heard that these words were useless, she was so angry that she slapped him across the face.

"I'm not worthy of being used? Only that brat is worthy, huh? Today I'll show you whether I'm worthy or not."

In a fit of rage, she squeezed out the entire tube of ointment and smeared it all over her face.

When Cui Meihong saw her wasting the entire tube of ointment like that, she almost fainted from anger.

They grabbed it as soon as they got their hands on it.

This time, Hao's mother returned the empty tube.

I have to say, after my face had been aching all day, applying this stuff felt surprisingly nice – cool and refreshing.
