Chapter 79 I'm a Bad Guy (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Xu Qingmo specifically reminded him, "If you don't tell the truth, your mouth will be burned and will never recover."

"You, you, you... you must be deliberately targeting me. Quickly put out the fire in my mouth!" Zhou Haihong endured the pain and angrily shouted at Xu Qingmo.

Xu Qingmo said, "As long as you admit that you stole the clothes and tell everyone the truth, the retribution will naturally disappear."

"I...I'll talk, I'll talk. I did steal the clothes, and I framed Hong Lanlan for them."

As soon as Zhou Haihong finished speaking, the flame on her lips disappeared.

Those around them were once again stunned.

"It really is karma. She was punished for lying and not admitting it, but now that she's told the truth, the karma has disappeared."

"I never expected Zhou Haihong to be this kind of person. Her previous gentleness and dignity were all an act."

"With such deep scheming, she could succeed in anything else, so why did she choose to do bad things?"

"Let's hear what she has to say."

Song Cuiping was so angry that her hands were trembling. She had thought of many people, but she had never suspected Zhou Haihong. Moreover, she had previously asked Zhou Haihong to mention the stolen clothes to Hong Lanlan.

It's likely that Zhou Haihong privately mocked her for being a fool back then.

Growing angrier by the thought, Song Cuiping demanded, "Explain yourself! Why did you do this?"

She had never been on bad terms with Zhou Haihong, so she couldn't understand why she would do such a thing.

Knowing she could no longer hide it, Zhou Haihong simply blurted out everything she had been holding back.

Zhou Haihong's eyes were full of ferocity as she looked at Song Cuiping. "Why can you live a happy life even though you have two daughters? Why can you swagger around in front of Du Jun even though you only have two daughters? Why do I have to live a life of constant fear!"

Zhou Haihong turned to look at Hong Lanlan, her eyes filled with hatred. "You think you're so great just because you gave birth to two sons? You always brag about being able to have sons in the family compound, making yourself look good."

"A pair of idiots! I can make you argue and fight whenever I want, it's really funny."

Zhou Haihong revealed a triumphant smile.

As soon as Zhou Haihong finished speaking, murmurs arose from the surrounding area.

“I had heard before that Zhou Haihong had a daughter, but she died of illness when she was one year old, and her life in her husband’s family was not easy afterward.”

“I’ve heard about this too. Her mother-in-law isn’t a good person; she keeps pressuring them to have a child.”

"We've been urging her for a long time, but Zhou Haihong's belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy. She's been living a very cautious life, and it's not easy for her."

"What does her misfortune have to do with Hong Lanlan and Song Cuiping? She stole clothes and framed others, which is enough to prove that she is not a good person."

Zhou Haihong looked indifferent. "I've never been a good person."

Xu Qingmo spoke up, "You really are not a good person. Your daughter didn't die of illness when she was one year old. She starved to death. You did it on purpose."

Zhou Haihong stared at Xu Qingmo in disbelief, and it took her a while to find her voice, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't..."

Two more blisters appeared on Zhou Haihong's lips, but she ignored the pain and continued to deny it.

Xu Qingmo, “You may not admit it, but deep down you know that what I’m saying is true. You’re suffering every day because of this. You can’t stand that Song Cuiping is happy even though she gave birth to a daughter, because you are not well-liked by your mother-in-law even though you gave birth to a daughter. You can’t stand that Hong Lanlan gave birth to a son, because your mother-in-law mocks you for only being able to give birth to daughters and being a useless person who can’t give birth to a son.”

"Enough! Stop talking!" Zhou Haihong angrily interrupted Xu Qingmo.

Xu Qingmo watched her go crazy in silence.

She felt no sympathy for Zhou Haihong whatsoever.

Her daughter was also a living being, yet she deliberately took her life away.

This guy is ruthless!

"My God, Zhou Haihong actually did such a heinous thing. No wonder she got her comeuppance. It would have been better to burn her to death in a fire." Song Cuiping said indignantly.

Hong Lanlan sneered, "Burning her to death in a fire is too easy for her. She should be crippled, left with half a life, and live in regret every day."

The people around them joined in the discussion.

"How could Zhou Haihong do such a thing? Has she lost all her conscience?"

"Don't wrong the dog, dogs don't eat bad things."

"Even if it's a daughter, she's still a living being. How could she just watch her child starve to death?"

"Didn't you notice something strange? Zhou Haihong deliberately starved her child, didn't her in-laws notice?"

"This mother-in-law's family is no good either. They knew Zhou Haihong was starving her child to death but did nothing to stop her. Birds of a feather flock together."

Song Cuiping and Hong Lanlan fell silent.

Zhou Haihong is bad, but her in-laws aren't entirely good people either.

Zhou Haihong smiled instead of getting angry, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "That old hag made me give the child away, but she is a piece of my flesh. Even if she starves to death in my arms, I will not let anyone else raise her. Otherwise, when she grows up, she will definitely hate me and blame me for giving birth to her but not raising her."

Hong Lanlan blurted out impulsively, "If you give it to someone else, at least you can keep their life."

Do I need to spell out how bad the fate of girls is these days? Even biological children aren't necessarily treated well, let alone those who aren't biologically related. Living is worse than being dead.

Zhou Haihong stared wide-eyed, letting tears fall continuously.

She finally spoke her mind, and she no longer had to worry about being discovered.

She doesn't need to worry about her mother-in-law telling others about it and getting flustered.

She suddenly felt a great sense of relief.

These past years' unresolved issues seemed to be resolved at this moment.

“I gave Niu Niu her life, and I also took it away. In your eyes, I am not a good mother, I am a bad woman, but if I had other paths to choose from, would I have chosen this one?”

Zhou Haihong questioned loudly, seeking opinions from different people.

The people around fell silent.

Xu Qingmo spoke up at the right moment, "You have your reasons, but the child has already been born. She is a living, breathing person. You shouldn't be thinking about how well you can make your own life, but about being responsible for this life."

"Bullshit! What does a five-year-old know about responsibility? What does it mean to live? You haven't lived in that environment, so you have no right to judge me." Zhou Haihong looked around.

She suddenly and impulsively overturned everything in the house.

He then left home.

When Luo Zilan returned from outside, she saw that Zhou Haihong's mouth was badly chapped and asked in confusion, "Cousin, what happened to you?"

"Zilan, I'm going back to my hometown. You should go home today too. Try not to come here again." After saying this, Zhou Haihong walked out of the gate of the family compound without any hesitation.
