Wang Fang's half-truthful words filled everyone with righteous indignation. What kind of mother is this? Even tigers don't eat their cubs. Wang Fang's weakness wasn't an act; if she hadn't been holding on, she would have fainted by now.

When Qi Zhifang came home from get off work, she saw a group of people gathered around her house. Thinking something had happened, she rushed over and asked, "What's going on?"

"What do you mean, what happened? I said, how can you be so vicious? I've noticed men coming to your house every few days, and they're not exactly respectable people. That's how I found out you have such a big daughter. Now that something like this has happened, you haven't shown your face at all! You don't even care! You're worse than a pig or a dog!"

"Exactly! How could someone like you exist! You're a disgrace to us women!"

"Pooh!……"

"Hey! Stop arguing! This girl is about to faint! Qi Zhifang, let me tell you, if you don't take better care of your daughter, I'm going to the neighborhood committee!"

Qi Zhifang felt like she had dodged a punch in front of her, only to be hit hard from behind. How dare this shameless person come looking for her! How shameless!

Her eyes gleamed as if burning with something, and she gave a dry laugh, revealing her snow-white teeth. Those neat teeth looked like those of a ferocious beast, ready to bite at any moment. She strode over to the neighbor's house, waving her hands wildly and stomping her feet from time to time, shouting, "What do you know? If she were a good person, would I not acknowledge her?"

She was involved with that man before marriage, and had several miscarriages. How many times was she beaten up? When things went wrong, the man didn't show any concern. We took care of him with all our money and effort. We talked to him through the motions, explaining that the man was no good and that no one else would agree to her relationship. But she shamelessly kept going after him.

That beast beat me so badly I suffered a brain hemorrhage and almost died. She just stood there watching. As soon as I woke up, she forced me to sign a letter of forgiveness to release that beast. Even her own brother, my only son, was killed because of this bitch—murdered by the man she found. My grandson is not even five years old, so young! He's already lost his father.

How could I possibly forgive her? How could I possibly forgive her! Tell me! Tell me!

With her last breath, Wang Fang weakly said, "Mom... I was wrong. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask that you... in the last moment of my life, look at me, like when I was little... and hug me again. I don't want to leave this world so alone!"

Qi Zhifang turned around and roared with a murderous look in her eyes, "Go to hell! If you're going to die, stay far away from me! I don't want to see you..."

"What's going on..." Someone noticed something was wrong and went to report it to the police and the neighborhood committee.

Wang Fang immediately became understanding and said breathlessly, "Comrades... I'm sorry to trouble you... I made a mistake and married the wrong person, which has implicated my family. I... I have harmed my family. Now it's my turn... I want to see my mother one last time before I die. It's okay if she doesn't forgive me, it's really okay!... I'm satisfied..." Then she fainted.

That's cunning and ruthlessness. Even if she had spent two-tenths of her time at Zhao Yunxiang's house, she wouldn't be in this situation today. Qi Zhifang is furious.

The neighborhood director frowned at Qi Zhifang and said, "You've only been good for a few years. Don't think I don't know what you did before! No matter how bad she is, didn't she have you as a role model? Now you know you're ashamed? If you had done fewer shameful things back then and taken better care of the child, would things be like this? You tell me today, are you going to take care of this child or not? If not, we'll talk about the man you spent the night with a few days ago..."

He said this with a look of disgust. Qi Zhifang felt so angry that her chest tightened, and she felt as if all her strength had been drained. She was about to collapse and sit down on the ground when the police said, "The incident happened right in front of your door. You should take her to the hospital right away! Besides, you don't have a clean record either. Are you really going to let us find out everything here?"

The neighbors were outraged. A criminal living in the yard? That was unacceptable! They started chattering amongst themselves, trying to figure out what crime she had committed. Qi Zhifang angrily retorted, "Stop slandering me! I can't take her to the hospital!"

People on the street were calling out, "Come on! Give us a hand, let's get this person to the hospital first!"

Wang Fang was hospitalized again, which infuriated Qi Zhifang. With the neighborhood committee and the police watching over her, she paid twenty yuan for the hospitalization fee and then had to keep an eye on Wang Fang.

I'm so angry I'm dizzy! What kind of situation is this?! I'm like a mute eating bitter melon, suffering in silence. How did I end up with such an unreasonable and shameless person?

Li Qiuxiang waited for a while at the entrance of the Second Hospital after work that day, and saw a woman about her age come out. Li Qiuxiang showed her first genuine smile since Wang Dong left, and went up to greet her, "Sister."

The woman smiled and said, "You're here quite early!" Li Qiuxiang chuckled and said, "How could I not be enthusiastic about treating my sister to dinner? Let's go to a state-run restaurant!" The woman nodded, and with permission, Li Qiuxiang took her away on her bicycle.

After we went in, ordered four dishes, and sat down, the woman said, "By the way, the woman who came with Zhao Yunxiang the other day seems to be hospitalized again, at the Sixth Hospital. I have to say, she's really something! She was injured like that, and she ran away to be with him after only three days."

Li Qiuxiang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Is she going to find her mother?"

"That's right! Her mother intervened at the Sixth Hospital and even paid her hospital fees!" Hearing this, Li Qiuxiang nodded. That's all Wang Fang can do. She's not afraid of attracting attention. As long as she's useful, that's fine. Qi Zhifang is doomed for life.

Li Qiuxiang said apologetically, "Sister, did that cause you any trouble?"

“It’s okay, the anti-inflammatory injections and glucose are all in normal condition, where can you check? He took your husband’s life, so what’s wrong with letting him suffer a little? Mentally ill people don’t have to take responsibility, but I’ve discovered something…” Her voice trailed off.

Li Qiuxiang leaned closer and, upon hearing the woman's words, revealed an expression of "I knew it!" She also hated herself, realizing she had shot herself in the foot. She had spent her whole life playing the hawk, only to have her eyes pecked by a sparrow in the end.
