Ma Hongxiu was horrified. She never expected that her adoptive mother would actually ask her for child support.

She looked at Su Wanping in disbelief: "How can you say such a thing? Do you still have the nerve to do it? I haven't even settled the mental damages with you for making me and my biological parents separated for so many years."

"You still want to ask me for child support?"

"Besides, since you adopted me, you have to be responsible for my life. It's your responsibility to spend money. I was just a baby at the time. I wanted to say I didn't want to, but could I say it?"

After Ma Hongxiu said this, everyone in the ward fell silent.

"You, you..." Su Wanping pointed at her with trembling hands: "You are so... shameless!"

Her adoptive mother called her shameless?

Ma Hongxiu's eyes widened. Since she had turned against her, she didn't need to be polite to her: "You are shameless."

The conversation between mother and daughter deeply shocked everyone in the ward.

Ma Guoxi looked at Ma Hongxiu in disbelief. He never dreamed that this girl would be so ungrateful. This, this was even comparable to those traitors in the old society.

Ma Shuai couldn't help but say, "Who is shameless? Raising you up and sending you to school, and you think it's wrong to raise you? I heard that you have a close relationship with your biological mother. Do you think that since you grew up in the Wang family, they can send you to school?"

"Your two sisters both dropped out of the third grade of elementary school and worked in the fields every day. If you hadn't been adopted by my aunt, would you have had such good conditions to grow up in an educated environment, go to high school, take the college entrance examination, or even study abroad?"

Ma Shuai really envied his cousin, he also wanted to be as successful as her, but he was not cut out for it, so he followed his father to build a mushroom shed in the village and grow some crops to make a living.

She doesn't know how lucky she is and even feels sorry for it.

"If you have the guts, spit out all the good things you've eaten over the years before you say something like this again."

Facing the contemptuous looks from everyone, Ma Hongxiu remained mentally strong because she felt she was justified: "I just said that if they didn't adopt me, I would have other options and maybe I could live a better life."

"You are just turning your back on me. Do you think that with the reputation of your Wang family in the village, some rich and powerful person would come to your house and adopt you?" Ma Shuai looks honest, but he has been a smart guy since he was a child and his reactions are very quick.

Ma Hongxiu sneered, "In the final analysis, you just want to seize our family property. You think that because you are a boy, you can inherit my adoptive mother's family. Ma Shuai, you are wrong. According to the law, even if I am an adopted daughter, my inheritance rights are ahead of yours. In fact, you don't even have a penny of inheritance rights."

"You'd better give up on this idea and don't let others look down on you."

Ma Shuai felt humiliated: "You..."

Ma Guoxi came to his senses now and understood why he was in such a soft mood. His brother and sister-in-law, who had always spoiled Ma Hongxiu, wanted to sever the mother-daughter relationship with her. There was no hope at all.

"Wanping, what's going on?" Ma Guoxi's wife looked at Su Wanping in shock.

Why is Ma Hongxiu such a person?

No one in the village has ever seen such a shameless person in history. Even Ma Hongxiu's biological mother, Zhu Dahong, at least flattered people with one thing on the surface and then did something shady behind their backs.

Ma Hongxiu has completely exposed her shamelessness to others, but she herself does not think she is shameless.

"Don't talk to me about inheritance rights. I'm about to cut off ties with you. How can I let you inherit my family's property? Get out. I don't need you here. Get out!" She felt disgusted just by looking at such a heartless and ungrateful person.

"If I don't leave, why should I leave?" Ma Hongxiu was afraid that if she passed away, Su Wanping would make a will and leave all her property to Ma Shuai.

She looked at Ma Shuai viciously: "I am your daughter in law, Ma Shuai is just your nephew, he is nothing."

After all, Ma Hongxiu didn't hear Su Wanping's words about severing the mother-daughter relationship at all.

"I said I want to cut off ties with you, don't you understand?" Ma Shuai felt that Ma Hongxiu's words were too rude. What did she mean by saying he was nothing?

"Over the years, whenever my aunt was unwell, my wife and I took her to see the doctor. When she was hospitalized, my wife and I took care of her. Where were you at that time?"

"What do you mean daughter? What have you done except just being a name and constantly spending the family's money?"

"You, have you ever been to school? How come you don't understand what I'm saying? I told you that legally, Ms. Su Wanping and I are mother and daughter, and you are nothing. How come you don't understand?" Ma Hongxiu said proudly, "If you don't understand, go to the lawyer's office and ask."

Ma Shuai was so angry that he couldn't speak.

No matter what Su Wanping said, Ma Hongxiu just refused to leave.

Li Yutong brought in breakfast at this time. Seeing the strange and tense atmosphere in the ward, she was a little confused. She didn't know Ma Guoxi, but looking at the family of three, she guessed who it was.

"Xiaoyu, you're here?" Su Wanping asked Li Yutong hurriedly when she saw her coming.

Ma Guoxi then looked at Li Yutong: "Who is this?"

Su Wanping was busy introducing her: "This is my cousin, Chen Xiaoying, the one who married Li Pingwang, the production team leader of Lijia Village. This is her granddaughter. She was the one who took care of me last night."

Speaking of Chen Xiaoying, Ma Guoxi is not familiar with her.

But when it comes to Li Pingwang, he knew him. They knew each other. During the Great Leap Forward, Li Pingwang was the hardest-working and most helpful member of the national party in Lijia Village. He admired him very much at that time.

He is just a little stupid. As soon as he gets some benefits, he gives them away to others for free, leaving his wife and children to starve, just to make a small profit.

He was still cheerful, completely unaware that others were laughing at him behind his back and calling him a sucker.

"I know your grandfather. I know your grandfather." In front of the granddaughter, Ma Guoxi, who is old, of course said something nice: "Your grandfather has worked hard all his life. How is his health recently?"

Li Yutong nodded: "It's fine. I walk around the fields every day. When I have nothing to do, I sit at the village head to play chess and poker with people and chat. I'm in good health."

Her grandfather is a broad-minded person who never wastes time on himself and is in a very good mental state.

"That's good, that's good. I heard that your father has made great progress. The peppers in your family are selling very well recently. People from the food factory have sent several tricycles to your house to buy them." Ma Guoxi looked at Li Yutong's approximate age and guessed which son of Li Pingwang's daughter she was. She must be the daughter of the eldest son, Li Hongwei.

"It's a little easier than growing crops." Li Yutong smiled and put the food on the small table next to Su Wanping's bed: "Auntie, have some."

Su Wanping looked at the buns and soup and sighed, "I can't even eat them."

Especially Ma Hongxiu, who was standing next to her and staring at her with a vicious and resentful look on her face, really looked like a vengeful ghost crawling out of the ground, staring at her and making her feel creepy.
