When the villagers nearby heard Ning Jing say this, they immediately nodded in agreement.
They all said, "That's right. Since she's the child's biological grandmother, you can take the child away. But Ning Jing's family has so many children to raise! Fu Hongxing helped pay for the hospital expenses, and now that she's here, she should pay it back."
"I heard from the village chief that Ning Jing took a special leave to take care of that poor child!"
"They've reached their work points; I wouldn't be willing to let them go."
"Tsk, Fu Hongxing makes a lot of money working in the coal mine!"
"Tch, no matter how rich you are, you can't waste money like this. There are so many children in the family, and your two younger brothers and sisters are still so young!"
"That's right, Ning Jing hasn't had a baby yet, has she?"
"Yes, yes, they say Ning Jing can't have children!"
"Doesn't Fu Hongxing have any thoughts on this?"
"Who knows? Even if she had such thoughts, Ning Jing helped raise so many of Old Fu's younger siblings, she couldn't possibly say it out loud!"
"Sigh... In the end, the child is pitiful!"
"Yes, I heard that the child is still lying there motionless, like a living dead person."
"How much longer do you think this child can stay in bed?"
"I heard that it depends on whether the family is willing to prolong the illness. If they are not, he will probably die soon."
"How much money would have to be thrown in?"
"That's right, she was just a little girl, so what if she died!"
"You make it sound so easy, but what about a human life?!"
"You're so great, but why don't you think about when this money-losing will ever end?"
"Yes, it's a bottomless pit that can never be filled."
Old Mrs. Zhang felt uneasy after hearing these words.
Her savings for her funeral were stolen by that brat and gambled away. If she had money, she would have come here to ask Fu Hongxing for Xiao Feng and the others. She was originally planning to extort money from them.
In her mind, since Fu Hongxing was willing to pay for Xiaofeng's medical treatment, he must have some feelings for Xiaofeng.
She came here under the guise of taking Xiaofeng and the others back, hoping that if the Fu family couldn't bear to see their nieces suffer, she could take the opportunity to ask the Fu family for a sum of money.
Unexpectedly, Ning Jing, her aunt, came directly to ask this old woman for money.
“You…you…I won’t tell you, I’ll tell the child’s uncle.”
"Where would I get money? I have no money!"
Although Old Lady Zhang felt guilty, she insisted on seeing Fu Hongxing.
Seeing this, Ning Jing gave a cold laugh.
"Sure, you can talk to Fu Hongxing when he gets back!"
However, our family's money didn't come from thin air.
This money belongs to both my husband and me. Even if he agrees, it doesn't matter if I don't.
You said it yourself, she's Xiaofeng's biological grandmother. If we don't ask you for the money that was spent, who should we ask?
It's okay if you don't have money now. We can't drive people to their deaths. I'll talk to your village chief, and we can deduct a portion of the annual work points settlement to pay off the debt.
When Granny Zhang heard Ning Jing say that, she forgot all about sitting on the ground.
She jumped up with a whoosh and shouted, "No!"
"Hey, ma'am, how come you're so arrogant? You think you can just say whatever you want? Now you say you don't have the money, and I won't even ask you for it right away! Just pay me back a portion every year, is that not enough? Are you deliberately trying to avoid paying back the money?"
Ning Jing immediately frowned and glared at Old Lady Zhang.
Old Mrs. Zhang never expected that her attempt to extort money would backfire, and she would only cause herself a lot of trouble.
His eyes darted around, trying to figure out what to do.
