Xu Xiuzhen's eyes darted around, and suddenly she put her hands together, looked up, and said with a devout expression, "Thank you, Guanyin Bodhisattva, for saving us from suffering! In a few days, I will go to fulfill my vow, so that my devout prayers over the past few years will not have been in vain."
Anyone who saw his joyful expression would not doubt it.
Zhou Chunhua used all her strength to restrain herself from tearing Xu Xiuzhen's hypocritical face apart. After all, her purpose in coming today was not only revenge, but also to keep Nini away from mortal danger.
Xu Xiuzhen felt uneasy seeing Zhou Chunhua staring at her silently.
She couldn't help but worry...
Could it be that the little rascal's illness has been cured?
But... logically speaking, it's impossible for such a young child to remember things from so many years ago!
After thinking it over, she spoke again: "Chunhua, after going through so much, I've also reflected on myself. Yes! In those years, I... I really didn't do a good job as a mother-in-law. I admit I mistreated you."
But as for Nini, I, I…” Xu Xiuzhen patted her chest loudly and said excitedly, “I ask myself honestly, I haven’t done anything to wrong her!”
You can't listen to what people in the family quarters are saying! Let me tell you, those people are just jealous of Nanxing! They're jealous that our family isn't as good as theirs, so they can only spread rumors behind our backs.
I admit I don't like girls, but is that my fault? In China's thousands of years of tradition, who wouldn't want a son to carry on the family line?
But no matter what, Nini is still my granddaughter! I would never do anything bad to her, would I? Besides, Nini's illness is cured, isn't it? If it really had anything to do with me, she would have told you already!
Zhou Chunhua glanced at Xu Xiuzhen and coldly pulled her hand back from being held: "Nini's illness is not cured yet."
"Not better yet?" Xu Xiuzhen's voice suddenly rose a few octaves, but a moment later, she immediately put on a worried expression and said, "But...but didn't I hear Nini say on the phone earlier that she..."
Zhou Chunhua snorted coldly and leaned back on the sofa: "Let's not even talk about whether her illness is cured or not. Even if it were cured, she was so young back then, what could she possibly remember?"
The moment she finished speaking, Xu Xiuzhen's eyes were filled with undisguised joy.
Zhou Chunhua, with a cold expression, tugged at the corners of her mouth, indicating that she had achieved her goal of keeping Nini away from danger.
The next step is to avenge my daughter myself.
Laugh, let's see how long she can keep laughing.
"Zhou Chunhua, as long as you get Nanxing out, I... I can help you put the human trafficker who kidnapped Nini in jail!" Xu Xiuzhen looked at her anxiously and said, "We are both mothers, we should help each other, right?"
"Help each other?" Zhou Chunhua sneered: "Xu Xiuzhen, do you want to listen to what you're saying? You clearly know who abducted Nini back then, but you've pretended not to know anything all these years, delaying the best time to find Nini!"
"You've ruined Nini's life! How dare you say such things to me with such self-righteousness!"
“I…” Xu Xiuzhen’s expression changed slightly, but there was no trace of guilt in her eyes: “Is this my fault?” she questioned.
“I know that Nanxing was framed. Even if it wasn’t you, it must be Gu Yao, who’s always been around you, who’s involved! Yes, Nanxing betrayed her family and you, and I even helped Nanxing cover it up for you. Yes, we were wrong to do that.”
But since things have come to this point, I have no more reservations! There are some things I've been holding back for over ten years!
Xu Xiuzhen smoothed her messy hair and raised her chin arrogantly.
"But is it all Nanxing's fault that he cheated? Don't you, Zhou Chunhua, have any fault at all? You know that from the very beginning I looked down on you, you country bumpkin!"
I believe you yourself know that, given Nanxing's circumstances, you are simply not good enough for my son!
Back then, if Nanxing hadn't begged me, and if you hadn't been honest and upright, I would never have let you into my Liao family! But what about you? How have you repaid my kindness?!
Your womb is so useless, not only did you give birth to a worthless child, but you also secretly got a tubal ligation! How can Nanxing accept this? How can I not be angry?
Do you know how many generations it took the Liao family to produce a scholar like him? Do you know how much hardship and toil I endured to raise him to be so outstanding?
I originally thought that it didn't matter if your conditions were less than ideal, as long as you could give birth to a son who would inherit Nanxing's excellent genes, all the hardships and suffering I endured over the years would have come to fruition, and I would have done right by the ancestors of the Liao family.
But what about you? You actually cut off the Liao family line! Nanxing's excellent genes were just severed by your hand! How can Nanxing accept this? How can I accept it?
Xu Xiuzhen spoke with great emotion, her face contorted and her neck thick with sweat as she gasped for breath.
At this point, she kept patting her chest and took several deep breaths before saying, "So you can't put all the blame on us for how things have come to this."
"So, according to you, it's my fault?" Zhou Chunhua stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Xu Xiuzhen let out a deep breath and nodded: "If we have to find the reason, we can only blame you for being too reckless back then! Think about it, we can just look for Nini slowly when she disappears."
If you earn some money and give Nanxing a son, how could that little bitch Su Mu have gotten away with it? If you hadn't secretly gotten a tubal ligation, that little bitch Su Mu wouldn't have been able to destroy your family.
"To this day, your family hasn't fallen apart, Nini has been found, and your two sons are both over ten years old! You've ruined such a perfectly good family!"
Zhou Chunhua was so angry she laughed.
"Besides..." Xu Xiuzhen changed her tone from before and said softly, "Nanxing is such a proud person, and you have already ruined him like this. You should be over your anger by now!"
If you get Nanxing out, all our grudges will be settled, and you'll also find out the truth about Nini's abduction. How about it? I promise..."
"Not good at all!" Zhou Chunhua interrupted impatiently.
Across from her, Xu Xiuzhen stared wide-eyed, her wrinkled eyes bulging.
"What did you say?" she asked in disbelief.
“I said I wouldn’t get Liao Nanxing out.”
"You...you don't want to know who kidnapped Nini back then?"
Zhou Chunhua snorted coldly and pushed her hand in front of Xu Xiuzhen.
On the phone, a very familiar voice said, "Zhou Chunhua, do you want to know the truth about what happened back then?"
Xu Xiuzhen immediately recognized the voice; it belonged to none other than Su Mu!
She stared blankly at the lines flashing on her phone screen...
That damned little bitch Su Mu is definitely trying to shift the blame onto her.
But……
If Su Mu tells Zhou Chunhua what happened back then, what can she use to bargain with Zhou Chunhua to get her son out?
