What my mother said was, even if there were personal obligations, it was you who owed my mom, not me. I'll just make you answer to my mom, and the money you give is naturally mine. She thought she was so clever and happily followed those people away.
Sun Chan was well aware of what was happening here because she was in the upstairs office. She could see Sun Lijuan downstairs from the window, a woman she hadn't seen in over twenty years. She was still as arrogant and self-righteous as before!
After sending Zhao Xiuxia to the hospital, she called her lawyer to ask about the support problem.
The lawyer suggested she send her to a nursing home: "Even if she has done many things to let you down, our country's law would still make you fulfill your caring obligations. Now her biological daughter is incapable of living independently and will certainly haunt you, so send her to a nursing home. This way, the expenses will be directly transferred there, and Sun Lijuan won't get a penny."
Sun Chan agreed and called Gu Junming: "I don't want to care whether this woman lives or dies; she's so excessive. But she is old after all, and won't cost much per month, let Zhao Xiuxia live in the nursing home."
Gu Junming said: "I know you're feeling bad, just forget it."
"Yeah, apart from forgetting and forgiving, it seems I have no other choice."
Zhao Xiuxia seemed to be showing signs of remorse, constantly persuading her daughter not to continue causing trouble. But that Sun Lijuan was as wild as ever, thinking everything could be obtained just by causing a ruckus like before? What a dream.
Sun Chan wouldn't spend a single penny on Sun Lijuan. She had no desire to deal with her.
Now that she knew about this place, Sun Chan arranged a business trip and wasn't in the local area, making it impossible for her to be found.
And Sun Lijuan, following her mother, felt pretty happy when she knew her mother had been sent to the hospital, but soon became dissatisfied because after Zhao Xiuxia's injury check, she was taken to a nursing home!
Sun Lijuan was shocked; how could this happen? Sending mother to a nursing home, what about me? How can I blackmail Sun Chan? No, I must get my mother out and then make Sun Chan show up!
But this nursing home happened to be closed off; without proof of payment, she simply couldn't enter!
Sun Lijuan began making a huge fuss outside, throwing a tantrum, and was reported to the police, and was then detained.
Zhao Xiuxia was immobile inside, with her waist in a brace, unable to move, and in great pain. She had no idea about her daughter's situation. Sun Lijuan was held for three days, and upon release, felt even worse.
Now Sun Lijuan wanted Sun Chan to pay the price! At this moment, she overheard two people chatting about some city hotline program for conflict mediation, and she got an idea and called them.
Over the phone, she tearfully complained, hiding all the wrongs and bad things she had done, portraying herself as a very weak, incompetent, and pitiful countryside woman, saying her mother raised Sun Chan.
Zhao Xiuxia looked at her daughter: "It won't work, Sun Chan already said she would only arrange for me to stay at a nursing home. Considering she's already done her utmost duty, one shouldn't stretch their morals further. I'm already satisfied…"
"Shut up!" Sun Lijuan shouted: "You're satisfied, but what about me? How am I supposed to live! Now Sun Chan supports you, and you have food, completely happy, what about me? I don't even have land if I return to the village. Your brothers have already devoured the land, I have nothing left. Do you want me to starve!"
"Daughter… you're still young, can't you make a living on your own, just like when Sun Chan initially moved into the city…"
Sun Lijuan slapped her mother, pointed at her nose: "You better get money for me, or I won't let this end, if you hadn't caused trouble, would I be here today? My current miserable state is all because of you! If you refuse, I'll kill you!"
Watching her now-crazed daughter, Zhao Xiuxia felt a chill in her heart, realizing this was the daughter she cherished into old age. Retribution had finally come; despite treating Sun Chan horribly and setting traps, unexpectedly, she was the one giving her a meal while her own biological daughter just hit and cursed her, not even asking about her pain or discomfort.
Just like this cruelly using her to get money.
In her heart, Zhao Xiuxia thought, that's my life; I can't let Sun Chan be further entangled. Even though she never saw me, I know she's a kind-hearted girl, otherwise she wouldn't have given me so many chances.
I must do something to repay her kindness.
