Duan Mingyue hesitated for a moment, but Wu Yuanxiu struggled to sit up and urged her, "Go! Go!"

Thinking back to a few days ago, Duan Mingyue gritted her teeth, got up, and hid in the small room behind the bedroom.

————

Li Xiangdong knocked on the door again, but there was still no response from inside.

But he clearly heard voices coming from inside the house.

He tapped his fingers three more times, and this time he heard a sickly voice from inside the room, "Come in!"

Wu Yuanxiu smoothed her disheveled hair and straightened her clothes to make herself look less disheveled.

As soon as Li Xiangdong stepped in, he saw Wu Yuanxiu, with her white hair, sitting crookedly on the edge of the bed.

Startled, he dropped the fruit he was carrying. Li Xiangdong rushed forward, "Aunt Wu, what happened? What happened to your hair...?"

When Wu Yuanxiu saw that the newcomers were not the same group as before, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She squinted and scrutinized Li Xiangdong closely. "You, you're Xiangdong?"

Li Xiangdong nodded, "It's me~"

What brings you here?

"Just came to see you."

Wu Yuanxiu gave a self-deprecating laugh, "What's so interesting about an old woman like me?"

"Please don't say that."

Wu Yuanxiu was unaware of the feud between Li Xiangdong and her husband; she only considered him her son's good friend, and her tone gradually softened.

"Xiang Dong, my family is not what it used to be. Now everyone avoids us like the plague. You'd better come here less often in the future."

Li Xiangdong felt a pang of sorrow in his heart. "Aunt Wu, if you're sick, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor. Don't suffer at home."

Wu Yuanxiu smiled, but the smile looked uglier than a cry.

Li Xiangdong continued to reassure her, "Aunt Wu, don't worry about no one taking care of you, I'll make arrangements for you."

Wu Yuanxiu continued to shake her head.

Just then, someone suddenly came out from behind the door and said urgently, "Mom, let's go to the hospital!"

Li Xiangdong looked over and recognized the man.

This is Guo Mingkai's wife, Duan Mingyue.

Li Xiangdong even attended their wedding banquet back then.

"Second sister-in-law, what happened just now...?"

Why do you still need to hide indoors?

Duan Mingyue's face was deathly pale, and glistening tears welled up in her eyes, as if they might roll down at any moment.

"I... I thought those people had arrived..."

It turns out that ever since the Guo family was imprisoned, only two mentally challenged women, Wu Yuanxiu and Duan Mingyue, remained in the family, and life became increasingly difficult.

At first, some people secretly threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, broken bricks and the like into the yard.

Later, people started throwing dog feces and urinating on the gate, making the Guo family's gate smell foul.

Wu Yuanxiu and Duan Mingyue had no choice but to endure it.

This repeated forbearance only emboldened the other party, who then dared to openly harass them at home.
