Ling's parents, who were called out from outside the crowd, froze on the spot. Facing the angry gazes of the surrounding villagers, they took a few steps back with evasive eyes.

Ling Huanwu looked coldly at the two of them through the crowd, having nothing more to say to them.

Seeing her silence, Ling's father immediately regained his parental authority and angrily scolded, "What did we do wrong? We're all neighbors, and life has been so hard since the storm surge, yet you still won't take out the money to share with the villagers. You're so stingy!"

Ling's mother chimed in, "Yes, it's all your fault. We asked you to give us some money for our travel expenses to Hong Kong, but you refused to give it to us. Now the two of us can't go. It's all your fault for being so stingy!"

Ling Huanwu was so angry she almost laughed. Her cold, sharp gaze fell on their faces as she questioned them with a smile, "So you encouraged others to come here and extort money from me because you wanted to see where I hid the money, is that it?"

"You want to use my money to subsidize your precious adopted daughter, is that it?"

The couple's behavior completely shattered her worldview time and time again.

They used every means to extract money from Song Yaoyao in order to go to the port city to accompany her.

The aunties present could no longer tolerate it.

Many of them had learned about Song Yaoyao's views on her two adoptive parents from her more than a year ago, and they usually didn't bother to talk to them about it, hoping that they would suffer the consequences of their actions.

Now they all stood up and recounted the insults Song Yaoyao had said to them behind their backs back then, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube!

"The Ling family couple, you're completely blind..."
