Chapter 940 Why should she be understanding towards you?
Ye Wanxi frowned upon seeing this, realizing that her question was inappropriate, and changed her words, saying, "I was being presumptuous."
Aunt Qiu took a deep breath and shook her head: "No, no, no, although this is a family scandal, since they did it, they naturally aren't afraid of others finding out. My nephew got even sicker after that day. Before, when the weather was warmer, he could at least go out and walk around, but now I heard he can only lie at home all day and can't move. As for my parents and younger siblings... their situation is slightly better than his, but they are also plagued by illnesses."
Aunt Qiu paused for a moment before continuing, then said, "My younger brother is dead."
"Dead?" Ye Wanxi was slightly surprised. Looking at Aunt Qiu's face, she realized that her blood relatives had indeed died young.
Aunt Qiu smiled bitterly: "I never expected that the mastermind behind this would be my younger brother."
Upon learning that Qiu Zhiming's sudden serious illness was entirely the work of the Wang family, Qiu's uncle and brother immediately had someone keep a close eye on the Wang family's movements.
The curse on Qiu Zhiming's side had just been lifted when the people he sent to keep an eye on the Wang family immediately sent back news that, apart from the Wang family's daughter-in-law who was still able to move, the others were either dead or ill.
Wang Dingcai's father died suddenly, Wang Dingcai's old illness relapsed, and his grandparents and mother also suddenly fell ill, though the severity of their illnesses varied.
As the only unharmed relative of the Wang family, Aunt Qiu received a call from the hospital that morning.
Normally, Aunt Qiu would have rushed to the hospital to help as soon as she received the call. But since she had already seen through the true nature of this family, it was already a sign of her kindness that she didn't go and finish them off. How could she be so saintly as to go and help them clean up their mess?
Aunt Qiu ignored them and only went back to see her brother off on the day of his funeral, accompanied by Uncle Qiu.
As soon as Aunt Qiu and her husband entered the house, they were met with their parents' sunken eyes and sallow complexions.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Aunt Qiu's heart still trembled, and she couldn't help but feel a little bitter and heartbroken. After all, the two of them were getting old, and she didn't know how many more years they could live after all this.
But what the two said next completely shattered any remaining affection she had for this family.
Two haggard, elderly people, their faces contorted with rage, hurled the most vicious and offensive insults and curses at her and her family.
They showed no remorse whatsoever; all they felt was resentment and hatred towards their married daughter and grandson.
They hated Qiu Zhiming for not dying, and they hated their daughter for letting outsiders harm their Wang family descendants, severing the only remaining branch of their Wang family.
Aunt Qiu's face turned ashen, and Uncle Qiu almost grabbed a weapon and attacked the two of them, but Aunt Qiu stopped them in the end.
Aunt Qiu stood a few steps away, coldly watching the couple who, in her eyes, were no longer recognizable as demons. She only said, "Wang Dingcai's life is a life, but isn't Zhiming's life also a life? He, Wang Dingcai, was weak and shouldn't have died, but our Zhiming is a thousand times, ten thousand times healthier than him, so why should he die?"
Unexpectedly, her words struck a chord with the two men, instantly arousing them.
"How can that be the same? Zhiming's surname is Qiu, and he's a descendant of the Qiu family. Dingcai's surname is Wang, and he's your brother's son. He's the true descendant of our Wang family. If he's gone, our Wang family line will end! You unfilial beast, how could you be so vicious? If I had known you would grow up to be like this, I shouldn't have given birth to you!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiu and Uncle Qiu were both so angry that they trembled. Uncle Qiu even overturned the table where the memorial tablet of Aunt Qiu's brother was placed in front of them.
Aunt Qiu stood by indifferently watching the two old people wail loudly, crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang themselves.
She waited until her husband had vented before taking his hand, giving the two elderly people one last cold look: "You're right, Zhiming's surname is Qiu, he's a member of the Qiu family. My married daughter also has the surname Qiu, she's Mrs. Qiu, not your Wang family's daughter."
“My son and I are outsiders to your Wang family. There’s no need to force each other to continue our relationship. I hope you will refrain from mentioning my name as an unfilial daughter in public, so as not to tarnish the reputation of your Wang family.”
After finishing her speech, Aunt Qiu grabbed Uncle Qiu's hand and left briskly, completely ignoring the two elderly people jumping up and down in their shouting and cursing behind them.
Aunt Qiu wasn't afraid that the two of them would break off their relationship and cause trouble at her and Uncle Qiu's workplace. Not to mention that the two of them valued their reputation above all else. No matter how much they yelled and shouted at home, they would always put on a respectable act in public and make sure they had a good image.
Even if they really lower themselves to cause trouble, they still have ways to deal with them. In fact, if they dare to cause trouble, Uncle Qiu will be the first to not let them off the hook.
At that time, their lives will be a hundred times, a thousand times more difficult than they are now!
When Aunt Qiu went to deal with this family, Yan Yuchen also took the opportunity to meet her biological mother.
The two met outside the Wang family compound, and Yan Yuchen only asked one question the entire time.
Do you know what they did?
Madam Wang avoided eye contact, then began to play the victim, recounting how difficult her life had been in the Wang family over the years and how much she had suffered, urging Yan Yuchen to understand her.
Yan Yuchen was unable to speak, constantly being interrupted by her, and remained silent with her lips tightly pressed together the entire time.
When Aunt Qiu came out, this was the scene she saw. The anger she had been holding onto from her biological parents and her protectiveness of her own family made her rush over to her sister-in-law in two or three steps and block Yan Yuchen behind her.
"So you've suffered so much in the Wang family all these years. Now that my brother is dead, I suppose you don't want to stay here any longer. Should I talk to Mom and Dad and ask them to let you leave the Wang family sooner rather than later, so you can avoid further suffering?"
Madam Wang was startled by Aunt Qiu's sudden appearance and stammered, "Eldest sister..."
"I wouldn't dare. You just said you've suffered a lot and asked her to understand you. Why should she understand you when you've suffered? Did she force you to abandon her? Did she force you to seduce my brother and marry into the Wang family to have a son for him? Did you support her? Did you ever feed her a single grain of rice, give her a bowl of water, or buy her a single piece of clothing? If that's the case, why should she understand you?"
Mrs. Wang choked, her face turning bright red, whether from anger or embarrassment was unclear.
Aunt Qiu ignored her and said mercilessly, "Yu Chen almost lost her life this time because of this. You have repaid your debt of gratitude to her. From now on, she is a member of our Qiu family and has nothing to do with you anymore. If you meet her in the future, just pretend you don't know her."
"Let's leave it at that for today, and we don't plan to pursue it any further. But if you dare to provoke her again in the future, don't blame us for settling accounts with you and your son properly!"
