Hongjie's tears fell incessantly, but she couldn't get her daughter's attention.

She kept staring at one spot, as if she hadn't heard a word her mother said.

Faced with this situation, Sang Feiyu didn't know how to comfort the other person, so she could only pat the other person's shoulder; her silence spoke volumes.

"Comrade Sang, what am I going to do in the future?"

“I can take good care of her now, but when I get old and die, there will be no one to take care of her. Won’t she be bullied by others?”

"If she's bullied like this, she probably won't fight back."

Hongjie's face was full of sorrow when she thought about the future.

"Who can predict the future? Let's just take it one step at a time."

"Perhaps there will be miracles in this world!"

Sister Hong doesn't believe in miracles; even if they did, they couldn't happen to an ordinary middle-aged woman like her.

"Comrade Sang, thank you for comforting me."

More than a month passed, and Sang Feiyu and the others heard news about Sister Hong and her daughter again: Sister Hong's mother-in-law wanted to send her daughter away.

Sister Hong refused, and the whole affair became public knowledge.

"If anyone tries to take my daughter away, I'll never forgive them!"

All I could see was Sister Hong tightly protecting her daughter behind her.

Seeing that so many people had gathered to watch, Hongjie's mother-in-law, Old Lady Cao, didn't dare to go too far.

She gave an awkward laugh, "You're talking nonsense!"

“I don’t mean to send your daughter away. She’s my granddaughter after all. I’ve raised her all these years, and I can’t bear to part with her. I just want to take her back to my hometown for medical treatment.”

These words caused an uproar.

It turns out the child was sick. No wonder they all felt the child looked different from the other children; they hadn't heard about it before.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Grandma Cao seized the opportunity to say, "I'm doing this for the good of the child."

“My hometown is a big place, so the kids can run around freely, which makes them happy.”

"How can you not get sick from being cooped up in the family compound every day?"

Sister Hong didn't believe she was that good.

“Take the child back to your hometown. It’s all mountains and rivers there. If the child falls off a mountain and dies, or falls into the water and drowns, wouldn’t that fulfill your wish?”

Old Mrs. Cao said fiercely, "How can you think so badly of people?"

Sister Hong snorted coldly, "You know perfectly well what kind of person you are. Anyway, I will not hand my daughter over to you."

Cao Laoda couldn't hold back any longer, "Your daughter is stupid, what's the use of keeping her here?"

"If I take her back to my hometown, I can find her a husband when she grows up. In the army, who would want to marry a mentally challenged woman?"

She didn't really want others to know that she had a mentally challenged granddaughter, but what could she do?

If she didn't say it that way, everyone would side with her daughter-in-law.

The onlookers never expected that their gossip would turn into such a huge surprise.

Niu Niu is actually mentally challenged. No wonder she wouldn't respond when they called her on the street before.

Now that I think about it, I finally understand.

Sister Hong's eyes widened in fury. "You're the idiot! My daughter isn't like that at all. She's smarter than you."

Grandma Cao smiled and said, "You say she's smart? Then call her and see if she'll respond."

"Why should I prove to you that she's not stupid? I can say she's not stupid, she's my daughter, I know better than you do."

Grandma Cao suddenly called out to her granddaughter, "Niu Niu, Niu Niu, Niu Niu, answer Grandma."
