"We've saved this up for the whole family, and now that we need it, why aren't you taking it out? Are you like your mother, who's going to take the house and find another man, while you're cheating other men out of money to go find another man and save up a dowry for yourself?! You're truly shameless, sacrificing others for your own benefit to the extreme!"
Qi Zhifang angrily pushed open the door and left. If she didn't leave, Li Qiuxiang's foul mouth would spill out like a leaky diaper. Qi Zhifang looked at Li Qiuxiang and said angrily, "I'll raise my own mother, it's none of your business! Go cool off somewhere else!"
Li Qiuxiang was amused by these shameless words. "It's none of my business. Why do you have that wild man call us every few days? He can buy you 500 yuan worth of clothes every day, but he can't take care of your mother. Instead, he has to call these people together every few days to discuss the meager expenses of the old lady's care. Qi Zhifang, as a daughter, don't you feel ashamed? You still have the nerve to say that you should take care of your own mother. Then go and take her to your own home!"
Qi Zhifang was so angry that she yelled, "Isn't it just me taking care of the old lady now? Has any of you ever come to bring her a meal or pour her a bowl of water?"
Li Qiuxiang stood up and said, "You're talking nonsense! When your mother was hospitalized, you and Qi Zhijun left her at the hospital and came back to sleep, leaving Wang Hong at the hospital to stay overnight. How dare you say such a thing! When the old lady collapsed, Wang Hong did more cleaning and feeding than you did!"
Qi Zhifang was so angry that she cried, "Isn't my mother Wang Hong's maternal grandmother? Isn't it her duty to take care of her?"
Just then, Director Wang from the neighborhood committee arrived. Upon seeing Qi Zhifang's messy hair, his face darkened. "What are you all doing? Qi Zhifang, you were a troublemaker when you were young, always getting the police and the neighborhood committee on your mind. Now that you're old, you're still causing trouble. What are you up to now? And you, Li Qiuxiang, you've only been in office for a few days and you're already causing trouble again. The whole neighborhood I manage has more problems than your family in a year!"
Li Qiuxiang pursed her lips and said, "This has nothing to do with me! Qi Zhifang is suspected of abusing and abandoning the elderly. Yesterday, she locked the bedridden old lady in a room all day, and she almost suffocated because her nose and mouth were covered with feces and urine."
She's asking each of us for 40 yuan to send our elderly parents to the best nursing home. I've already paid for three years' worth of fees, and today she blurted out that she'll take care of her own mother. Tell me, does she have any shame?
Enraged by this scoundrel, Qi Zhifang gripped the doorframe. Upon hearing this, Director Wang scolded, "Qi Zhifang, you're no human being! Back then, when things were so difficult, your mother would rather mistreat her daughter-in-law and let her own grandson starve than let you and your three children grow up healthy and well-fed, giving you special treats. Now that she's old and can't move, you dog actually ask her children for money! We'll give you the money, and you still don't want to care for your old lady!"
Qi Zhifang's words were irrefutable. If Li Qiuxiang dared to say she hadn't received the money, she would have confronted Li Nianjun, making her even more of a laughingstock. If she hadn't spoken up, that despicable Li Qiuxiang would have made it a fact…
