"What does Zhuang Pinghua being stabbed have to do with me? I have no money, I won't give any money."
"Xiong Jing is your cousin! You can't just stand by and watch her die!"
Liu Aimei wondered if her mother had something wrong with her.
"Zhuang Pinghua is Xiong Jing's husband, not mine. I'd have to be crazy to give him money. Do you think I'd ever get my money back after lending it out?!"
Old Mrs. Liu frowned. "The person hasn't even woken up yet, and you're already thinking about paying back the money. Liu Aimei, is your heart made of iron?!"
Liu Aimei took a deep breath and said a few more words to her mother-in-law, but she couldn't get through to her, and they started arguing.
Finally, Old Lady Liu went straight into the house to look for money. She found several dozen yuan in the living room cabinet, put it in her bag, and was about to leave.
"Mom, give me back my money!" Liu Aimei's hair was disheveled and her eyes were red.
"I am your daughter!"
Old Mrs. Liu was extremely impatient. "If you weren't my daughter, I wouldn't be asking you for money. Get out of my way, I need to go to the hospital."
Liu Aimei couldn't stop her mother at all. Her mother pushed her, and Liu's mother quickly went out and downstairs.
Liu Aimei screamed in anger and threw things.
She changed her clothes and chased after her, arguing with Old Lady Liu all the way to the hospital, but still couldn't get the money back.
When Xiong Jing and her daughter saw Liu Laoniang return, their eyes lit up with joy.
"Sis, did you get the money?"
Old Lady Liu sighed, "Only in the forties—"
Liu Aimei rushed forward, shouting, "That's my money! Give it back!"
Old Lady Liu quickly handed the money to Xiong Jing, then slapped Liu Aimei across the face.
"Enough! You can't even spare a penny!"
Liu Aimei was so angry that her chest ached and tears streamed down her face. She glared at Old Lady Liu.
Since getting married, Liu Aimei has always thought of her family whenever something good happens, and this is how they treat her now!
That money was equivalent to two months' salary for her!
Xiong Jing took the money directly to pay the medical expenses, but the few dozen yuan was not enough at all; she was far short.
At noon, the police came again to take their statements, asking if they had encountered any strange people in their neighborhood recently.
Xiong Jing looked at him strangely and said no.
The police officer then asked, "Really not? What's your relationship with your neighbors like?"
Xiong Jing frowned, but before she could speak, Liu Aimei, looking disheveled, spoke first.
“Officer, everyone looks down on that family and doesn’t like associating with Xiong Jing. Xiong Jing even falsely accused Zhuang Pinghua’s ex-wife of having problems with her shop, but she was exposed. Her neighbors all know that Zhuang Pinghua stole from the supply and marketing cooperative and was only recently released from prison—”
Xiong Jing turned around and glared at Liu Aimei, "Shut up!"
Liu Aimei rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
"I'm just cooperating with the police."
Many patients and nurses listened intently.
Gossip, oh, big gossip.
Old Lady Liu glared at Liu Aimei again, "Shut up, stop talking."
Liu Aimei sneered, "If you like Xiong Jing, then adopt her as your daughter! Could it be that Xiong Jing is your illegitimate daughter and I'm the one you picked up?"
Old Lady Liu's face darkened, and she slapped Liu Aimei across the face again.
"You worthless brat, shut up!"
Liu Aimei's eyes were red. "Then give me back my money!"
The police officer stopped them, saying, "Alright, stop arguing. We've already recorded what you said, including the previous incident involving Xiong Jing and Zhuang Pinghua. If you discover anything unusual from now on, you need to come to the police station to explain the situation."
The police left quickly.
