Instead of hearing news of Li Hong and her husband getting a divorce, people received news that her mother-in-law was leaving the family compound.
The day her mother-in-law left the family compound, her eyes were red, and she complained about Li Hong to everyone she met.
“You didn’t hear how she cursed me, her mother-in-law. I felt so ashamed of myself.”
"Sigh, it's my own fault for not raising my son well. He actually spoke up for that bitch. Now she wants to kick me out of the family compound and send me back to my hometown. How did I end up with such a son and daughter-in-law?"
Everyone thought that Cao's son did not favor his elderly mother, so he still had some conscience.
After listening to Grandma Cao's complaints, they didn't indulge her. "Don't you have any self-awareness about what you've done?"
Do you need us to help you remember?
"You encouraged your son to divorce your daughter-in-law, and now you want to send your granddaughter back to her hometown!"
"At your age, can't you do something decent?"
Grandma Cao was speechless after being confronted, and knowing she was in the wrong, she slunk away from the family compound.
Some people remarked, "Watching one awful person after another leave our residential compound, I feel like the air in our compound has become much fresher."
"Who says otherwise? Now I'm not afraid of running into weirdos when I go out."
In the past, when they encountered difficult people, they wouldn't dare to confront them because they lived in the same household.
Now, when they encounter something they don't like, they basically confront it directly, seeking revenge without letting it linger overnight. They don't feel so resentful anymore.
Li Aihong was in a particularly good mood after her mother-in-law passed away.
Whenever she had free time, she would bring her daughter to Sang Feiyu's house to play, because she felt that Sang Feiyu's house would bring good fortune to her daughter.
After all, it was at their house that her daughter first called her "Mom".
Usually around mealtimes, Li Hong would go back to cook, and then come back to take care of her daughter.
Zhao Hui and Sang Youde took advantage of this opportunity to bring Niu Niu into the space for treatment.
Over time, Niu Niu's condition improved significantly.
She's talking more and more these days, and sometimes she can even speak in simple long sentences.
Li Hong was very happy and would often bring a portion of whatever delicious food she cooked to Zhao Hui and the others.
By the time the other residents in the family compound realized what was happening, Niu Niu was no different from any other friend.
Sometimes she can play outside alone with other children.
"What's wrong with Niu Niu? Why is she getting better every day since her grandma passed away?"
People who are somewhat superstitious might think that Old Lady Cao might have performed a ritual on Niu Niu before. Although they are superstitious, they have encountered similar situations before.
"Who knows what her grandma did to her in the past? Otherwise, how come Niu Niu is all better as soon as she's gone?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hong nudged her husband with her elbow. "Did you hear that? This isn't what I said, it's what they said. And you saw it yourself, Niu Niu is indeed much better now than when your mother was alive."
Her husband didn't want to believe it, but that was the reality, and he began to feel disappointed in his mother.
Niu Niu suddenly came over and hugged his leg. He squatted down to look the child in the eye and said, "Niu Niu, Daddy will never let your grandma take you back to your hometown."
Niu Niu paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, her expression turning somewhat painful. "Dad, Grandma said why I haven't died yet, that I'm a burden to the family. Once she even took me outside and went back home first, saying she didn't want me anymore."
Upon hearing Niu Niu's words, Li Hong and his wife's expressions changed instantly. They never expected that Old Lady Cao would treat Niu Niu like this!
Niu Niu couldn't express herself before, so they didn't know about these things.
Li Hong was heartbroken. Holding Niu Niu, she said to her husband, "Did you hear that? Your mother is just that kind of person, wicked to the core!"
