When Xiao Qingwan woke up, she discovered that her legs were gone. Terrified and furious, she couldn't bear the shock and broke down crying and resisting treatment. As a result, she developed an infection and was issued critical condition notices several times.
Mrs. Xiao, on the other hand, suffered a mental breakdown due to "feeling sorry for her daughter" and was forcibly sent to a sanatorium.
She cried and made a scene, demanding to leave, and even threatened to divorce him. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao agreed without hesitation. He then took the opportunity to investigate her assets and forced her to leave with nothing.
Mrs. Xiao was stunned, but all that was left for her was a small suitcase containing a few clothes. She rushed to the hospital, only to find Xiao Qingwan, who had finally accepted reality and was heartbroken and desperate.
The Xiao family kicked them out, so naturally they wouldn't pay her medical bills anymore. If Xiao's mother had arrived any later, Xiao Qingwan would have been thrown out onto the street.
"Mom, I've lost my leg! I had it amputated! What am I going to do? I'm so young... I don't want a prosthetic leg, why did this happen to me—"
"You idiot! We've ended up like this all because of you!"
"Who told you to hide the fact that I'm your niece from him?!"
"I'm doing this for your own good, so I can marry into the Xiao family!"
"In the end, it all comes down to your greed for wealth and status!"
The two women started blaming each other and arguing in public. They were immediately kicked out by the hospital security. Xiao's father had arranged for someone to heal her leg, but he only wanted to see them fight like dogs and had no intention of showing them any pity.
Mrs. Xiao—no, since they're divorced, she can no longer be called "Mrs. Xiao." She should revert to her original surname, "Song." Xiao Qingwan's household registration file has also been modified, and her name has been changed back to "Song Qingwan."
The two of them had a huge argument and almost came to blows in the street, leaving them looking disheveled, embarrassed, and miserable, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After cursing Xiao's father for his heartlessness, she could only stagger to her feet and let Madam Song sneakily retrieve the private money she had previously hidden away.
With the money in hand, the two tried every means to return to the Song family.
Mrs. Song's parents died early, and now her brother and sister-in-law are in charge of the household.
The Song family developed based on the resources she took back from the Xiao family. Madam Song thought that her brother and sister-in-law would definitely take good care of her and Qingwan because of her support for the family in the early years.
However, what she and Song Qingwan never expected was that the Song family, which they regarded as their last refuge, was actually a den of wolves!
"Go home? Going home is fine, but I'll give you 500,000 yuan a month for lodging and 500,000 yuan a month for living expenses. Just give me 1 million yuan a month!"
Her sister-in-law stood at the gate, sneering. Madam Song trembled with anger, pointing at her and cursing her for being cold-blooded. Her sister-in-law sneered:
"When you claimed your bastard child was your brother's, did you ever think about us? You've been kicked out of the house, how can you still have the nerve to face us!"
"But a million is too much! One hundred thousand, at most one hundred thousand! Not a penny more!"
The sister-in-law clicked her tongue and nodded reluctantly, her face full of reluctance. She hadn't even prepared a room for her and Song Qingwan, leaving them to live in a small, dusty attic, which was cold in winter and hot in summer. As soon as Song Qingwan was carried up there, she started wailing.
Seeing the mother and daughter weeping in each other's arms, Sister-in-law Song turned around and exchanged a knowing smile with her husband.
If she can cry so bitterly to produce 100,000, she must have plenty of money in her pocket! After we've completely emptied Madam Song's pockets, we'll immediately kick her and that burden out of the Song family and let them die on the streets!
