When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she became even more angry and said viciously, "What are you humming about? You asked for this fate today."
As she spoke, her tears flowed like a flood, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground. She held her head with both hands and shook it vigorously, as if trying to get rid of this terrible fact from her mind.
She worries not only about her daughter's future but also about her own retirement. She had hoped her daughter would marry into a wealthy family, bringing a generous dowry and improving her family's financial situation. However, now all of this has come to nothing, and she cannot accept this fact.
She felt that she had raised her daughter for so many years in vain, and had put in so much effort and energy, but had received nothing in return. She did not understand why fate was so unfair and put her in such a predicament.
Her thoughts gradually became clear from being confused, and suddenly her face changed and she became emotional.
She stood up with a gloomy face, her face full of anger, and shouted loudly: "Doctor Wang, I have thought it through. I will never send her to the hospital. Look at her current state. It's all her own fault. If I really send her to the hospital, where will my face be? It's better to just let her die. After all, all this is her own fault. No one else can be blamed. This way, I can also have peace of mind. So, please leave here immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaolan's face instantly turned pale with rage. She stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes in disbelief, her voice trembling as she said, "How could you be so cruel! She's your own flesh and blood, the one you carried for ten months and gave birth to! Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. How could you be so cruel as to abandon your own child? Don't you have any humanity at all?"
Wang Xiaolan grew increasingly agitated, her emotions spiraling out of control as tears streamed down her cheeks. She continued, heartbroken, "Do you understand? This is tantamount to killing your daughter yourself? It's not only unethical, it's also against the law. If you really did this, you'd be facing legal sanctions and imprisonment. You'd regret it terribly!"
Mrs. Zhang sneered, a glimmer of hope in her heart. She said indifferently, "As long as we all keep silent, who will know about this? Let's just pretend she died suddenly of an acute illness."
She paused, staring at Wang Xiaolan sharply, and continued with a clear threatening tone, "If you dare to tell anyone about this, you won't be able to escape responsibility. Not only that, you'll likely be sent to prison and never be able to work in this industry again. It will also have a negative impact on your husband, who is a soldier. As for me, the most I'll be blamed for not paying, but the Public Security Bureau can't do anything to me. So, you'd better think it over carefully and don't make a decision that you will regret!"
When Wang Xiaolan heard this, she sneered in her heart and thought to herself: "This old woman dares to threaten me? Does she think she can scare me like this? How ridiculous! Although her words are very reasonable, in my eyes, they are nothing more than that. I, Wang Xiaolan, have met all kinds of people, so how could I be scared by her little tricks? People like her, I don’t take them seriously at all. She really thinks that I am a weak persimmon that can be bullied and can be manipulated at will. Humph, she is wrong! Fortunately, I have prepared for it a long time ago." Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Thinking of this, she said, "You forgot that so many sisters-in-law in the compound watched me follow you into your house. You want to use this excuse to frame me. Don't you think that the police officers will believe you just based on your words?"
Mrs. Zhang said with a look of resentment, "I can't care less. What if they know? They don't know about your situation in my house. As long as I insist that it was you who did it, you won't be able to explain it even if you have seven or eight mouths. I advise you to listen to me. We can both live in peace."
When Wang Xiaolan saw her acting like a spoiled child, she was immediately furious. She glared at her with wide eyes, her chest heaving violently as if it was about to explode.
Her lips trembled, her voice filled with anger and disappointment. "You, you, how could you be so unreasonable! The family members in the compound saw it all clearly how desperately you begged me! Now you're trying to cheat and deny it, and even accuse me of blackmailing you! You're simply a scoundrel!"
She knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted when facing such an unreasonable person, so she straightened her back and said to the woman fearlessly: "Okay! Since you are so unreasonable, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will call the police immediately to handle this matter and let the police judge right and wrong fairly. I believe that the law will give us justice and make you pay the price you deserve!" After that, Wang Xiaolan turned around resolutely and walked towards the door.
At this moment, an extremely faint voice suddenly came from behind her, and the voice seemed to come from a distant place.
"I don't want to die... Mom, save me... Just listen to Doctor Wang and send me to the hospital... I'm still young..." This voice is full of despair and helplessness, which makes people feel pity.
Hearing this voice, Wang Xiaolan stopped involuntarily.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard Wenwen's voice, she immediately rushed to the bedside, her eyes bigger than gongs, and said ferociously: "Go to the hospital? Then give me money! We don't have any money at home anyway, and even if you are saved, you will be a burden." Her face was full of ferocity and greed, which made people shudder.
When Wang Xiaolan heard the begging voice, she remembered that when she first traveled to this era and gave birth to Xiaobao, her step-mother-in-law Huang Jinhua treated her in the same way.
She couldn't bear to see such a beautiful girl wither away like this.
Zhang Wenwen looked at her mother with eyes filled with deep disappointment and pain. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
Her voice was trembling and filled with sorrow as she spoke, "Mom, I heard everything you just said... So this is what you truly feel about me. For all these years, you've only raised me for money. You've only ever treated me as a tool, an object to be traded for profit. When I lost my usefulness, you discarded me without hesitation, like discarding a useless object."
Her tone became increasingly agitated, and her emotions gradually lost control. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, as if only this could ease the pain in her heart.
