Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 155 What a clever trick to shift the blame!

Just then, another figure appeared at the door of the ward.

It's Li Laonian'er.

He had vaguely heard arguing and crying inside, especially Li Hongmei's last sentence, which made his heart pound.

He walked in and looked at Zhao Caihua, who was crying on the ground with her face covered in snot and tears, and her body soaked in water and blood. His brows furrowed even more.

"What are you yelling about? Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? What did Li Hongmei say? Is she really abandoning us?"

"Control me? She'd love for me to die!"

When Zhao Caihua saw Li Laonian'er, she cried even harder, pointing at the door and cursing.

"That little bitch, she pushed me! She wished I were dead! Why is my life so miserable..."

Li Laonian didn't help her up, but glared at her and said, "Stop howling, Liang Yi just sent people here."

Zhao Caihua's crying stopped abruptly, and she looked at Li Laonian'er in horror: "What...what else does he want to do?"

"The money upstairs is enough for you to stay one night. Tomorrow morning, you must pack your things and get out. And..."

"I'm telling you to take your family and get back to your hometown within three days. And if you keep lingering, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Liang Yi wasn't joking; it was only then that Zhao Caihua felt afraid.

She couldn't rely on her son, and the daughter she could rely on turned on her and wished she were dead.

She felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless ice cave, with danger lurking all around her.

Old Li squatted down and crumpled the hospital bill into a ball.

Zhao Caihua suddenly raised her head and grabbed Li Laonian's trouser leg tightly, as if she had grasped the last straw.

"Old Nian'er, you can't abandon me! That Liang Yi is a devil, he's really capable of doing such a thing! If I go back to my hometown, people will gossip and curse me behind my back, I'd rather be dead!"

"Death? It would be better if you died, but what about the children?"

Old Li forcefully shook off her hand, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

“Your son is still waiting for sentencing at the police station. If you cause any more trouble, his life will be truly over!”

Zhao Caihua was stunned by his shout, and then collapsed again.

"Besides, even if you die, don't drag me down with you."

Old Li stood up and threw the hospital admission form at Zhao Caihua.

He didn't have any extra money to continue treating Zhao Caihua's illness.

Zhao Caihua picked up the crumpled paper from the ground; the amount of the hospital bill made her heart pound.

That little bit of money isn't even enough for tomorrow's medicine, let alone asking someone to make an exception.

"Old man, you'd better think of something."

She suddenly lunged forward, her knees hitting the concrete with a dull thud.

"If it weren't for giving you a son back then, would I have been chased and cursed by those gossipy people in the village? And now you're just going to watch me die?"

Old Li stomped his heel on the ground and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.

"What can I do? If Liang Yi stomps his foot in the capital, even our shadows tremble."

“That girl Hongmei is really determined.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Caihua suddenly stopped crying, knelt upright on the ground, and her eyes surged with ruthlessness.

"How dare she! I'm her own mother! If I hadn't sent her away back then, would she have been able to marry into such a wealthy family? Now she's turning around and biting me, what an ingrate!"

"Climbing the ladder?"

Old Li chuckled and looked at Zhao Caihua with disdain. "Tomorrow you'll come with me to find Li Hongmei. Isn't she heartless? We'll kneel at the front door and cry, so the neighbors can see how she's so ungrateful and drove her own mother to her death."

I refuse to believe that her husband's family would tolerate such gossip.

They couldn't afford to offend Liang Yi and his group, but they still needed to find someone who could provide them with travel expenses home.

Zhao Caihua's eyes lit up instantly, as if a person on the verge of death had suddenly grasped a glimmer of hope.

She nodded vigorously, shuffling her knees on the ground.

"Yes! That's the plan! Isn't Li Hongmei the most concerned about her image? Let's peel off that shiny veneer and let her know that her own mother isn't someone to be trifled with!"

Damn girl, you are rebelling.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, rustling sounds could be heard in the ward.

Despite the pain, Zhao Caihua was half-supported and half-dragged off the bed by Li Laonian.

She deliberately chose the most worn-out clothes, and her hair was a messy tangle.

She deliberately didn't apply any medicine to her face, leaving the bruises and marks exposed, making her look like she had been abused.

The two didn't dare take the bus and walked all the way to Li Hongmei's house.

The wind made Zhao Caihua shiver, but the anger in her heart burned brighter and brighter, and she kept muttering to herself.

"When you see her later, you should cry your heart out and tell her everything about how I gave her away and how I secretly fed her. Let her husband's family see how ungrateful she is!"

Old Li walked forward with his head down, kicking pebbles far away: "I know, just keep quiet, or you'll spill your dirty secrets again."

When they reached the entrance of the alley where Li Hongmei lived, Zhao Caihua suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, knelt down abruptly, and burst into tears.

The crying was even more heart-wrenching than in the hospital ward, instantly attracting several elderly people who were doing their morning exercise to watch.

"Everyone, come and see! What have I done to deserve this?! I raised a thankless daughter who doesn't recognize her mother now that she's successful!"

She cried and slapped her thigh, but secretly glanced into the depths of the alley.

"I gave her away back then because I was afraid she would be bullied in the village! I secretly brought her eggs and steamed buns, and even when I was so hungry that I was dizzy, I couldn't bear to eat them myself!"

Now look at her, living in a big house, wearing fine silks and satins, watching me get bullied, not even giving me a bite to eat!

Old Li squatted down as well, wiping away non-existent tears with his sleeve, occasionally chiming in, "That's right, what kind of heartless daughter doesn't even recognize her own mother..."

More and more people gathered around, chattering amongst themselves.

Some people sympathized with Zhao Caihua's plight, while others felt that things might not be so simple.

Just then, footsteps came from deep within the alley, and Li Hongmei and her husband came out.

Seeing the scene before her, Li Hongmei was so angry she almost fainted.

"Li Hongmei! You've finally come out!"

When Zhao Caihua saw her, she cried even harder and crawled forward a few steps using both her hands and feet.

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll die right here in front of your house!"

Li Hongmei took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "Let's talk about this at home, don't embarrass ourselves here."

"Go home and talk about it? I think you just want to lock yourself in the door and beat me up!"

Zhao Caihua threw a tantrum and wouldn't listen to Li Hongmei at all.

"Everyone, take a look! This is my daughter. Now that she's successful, she thinks she's a disgrace to her own mother!"

Li Hongmei's husband stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Grandma, let's talk this out. Don't make a scene here. If it's really our fault, we will definitely take responsibility."

Seeing that his attitude was relatively mild, Zhao Caihua became even more arrogant: "Take responsibility? Fine! Give me a hundred yuan first. I need medical treatment and to go back to my hometown! Otherwise, I'll cause trouble here every day and make sure you never have a moment's peace!"
