Shen Yunsheng glanced at Qiu Shi, then spoke up for Xiao Hongxu, "Second Aunt, Hongxu has become a fool, and you still have the mind to criticize Xiaoqian."
"You...you mustn't talk nonsense. Even if my Hongxu has become an idiot, it was because of your treatment that he became an idiot. You must take full responsibility."
Qiu snorted coldly, then glared at Shen Yunsheng. She had fulfilled her responsibilities and had done right by her youngest son.
Her immediate priority was to save money for her eldest son's travel expenses. Only if her eldest son passed the imperial examination and became a scholar could she live a good life. In any case, she couldn't count on her younger son.
"Second Aunt, please be reasonable. Hong Xu was already seriously injured, and it's a miracle he survived." Shen Yunsheng felt wronged. This Qiu Shi was too unreasonable. Fortunately, her husband had Qiu Shi sign the treatment agreement in advance.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
"I don't care, Hongxu is like this because of you, so you have to pay compensation."
Qiu roared unreasonably, "How dare you say that? If it weren't for your incompetent medical skills, how could my son have ended up like this? You quack, you should be held responsible!"
Before she could finish speaking, Min Xiaoqian interrupted, "Mother, my sister-in-law has already done her best. Please don't make trouble."
However, Qiu ignored her words and slapped Min Xiaoqian across the face, leaving Min Xiaoqian's cheek red and swollen.
Before Min Xiaoqian could react, Qiu Shi launched into another tirade: "Useless thing! She's turned your man into an idiot, and you're still defending her. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Min Xiaoqian stepped in to help Shen Yunsheng, which moved and pleased Shen Yunsheng. If she had been as unreasonable as Qiu Shi, things would have been difficult.
Fearing that her daughter-in-law would ruin her plans, Qiu pointed her finger at her daughter-in-law's nose and warned, "Hong Xu's wife, you'd better not get involved in this matter. If you piss me off, I'll divorce you on Hong Xu's behalf."
"Hmph! You're using this trick again. Even if you want to divorce your wife, it's not your place to divorce me."
Min Xiaoqian roared hysterically, feeling sorry for her husband. He was sick, and his mother still wanted to use him to make money.
Seeing Qiu's unreasonable behavior, Shen Yunsheng was furious. She decided to stop tolerating it. "Second Aunt, I don't need to argue with you anymore since you're being so unreasonable. I have the treatment agreement in my hand, which is clearly written in black and white. If you still have any objections, you can go to the village head for a ruling."
After saying that, Shen Yunsheng shielded Min Xiaoqian behind him. When Qiu Shi saw Shen Yunsheng mention the treatment agreement, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
"You...you're trying to scare me with the treatment agreement."
Qiu glanced at Shen Yunsheng and continued to mutter curses, feeling that she had not done anything wrong.
It is a blessing for the younger son to sacrifice for the older son. If the older son becomes an official in the future, he can also help the younger son's family.
Just as Qiu was about to unleash her fury, Xiao Jingchuan stepped out from behind the wall.
"Second Aunt, my wife isn't trying to scare you. Don't forget that your name and fingerprint are on the agreement."
"So what if he has a name? My Hongxu was turned into an idiot by her treatment, and you bear half the responsibility."
Qiu snorted coldly and pointed at Xiao Jingchuan. At this moment, she desperately hoped that her mother-in-law would hurry home so that she could help her win over Shen Yunsheng.
"Second Aunt, you're just making excuses." Xiao Jingchuan's face turned cold. "If it weren't for my wife's righteous help, Hong Xu probably wouldn't even have survived. People should know how to repay kindness and not be greedy."
Qiu pursed her lips guiltily, but still persisted, "Who knows if she deliberately treated Hong Xu like this so she could renege on her debt?"
"Second Aunt!" Xiao Jingchuan shouted, "My wife is a kind-hearted doctor. If it weren't for her miraculous healing that day, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame me for disregarding our family ties."
Seeing Xiao Jingchuan's resolute attitude, Qiu was at a loss for how to respond.
Shen Yunsheng could no longer bear it. She launched a scathing critique of the Qiu family, recounting all the grievances and injustices Xiao Hongxu had suffered over the years. Her words were sharp and incisive, revealing an undeniable anger and discontent.
“Second Aunt, the one who really harmed Hongxu is you. If you can’t treat everyone equally, then you shouldn’t have given birth to him. He has silently endured your indifference and neglect for so many years, but has never received the respect and care he deserves. Of course, he doesn’t want to live.”
Shen Yunsheng's voice trembled, as if his long-suppressed emotions had finally found an outlet.
She felt that Qiu Shi was just as awful as her scumbag father from her previous life; they would even sacrifice their own flesh and blood for money and status.
Min Xiaoqian couldn't help but join the criticism. Her eyes flashed with anger as she pointed at Qiu Shi, her voice filled with disappointment: "Mother, I never imagined you could be so heartless. Even at this point, you're still only thinking about scheming against my husband, completely disregarding our feelings. Do you think only power and profit are the most important things in your eyes?"
Qiu was speechless after being accused by the two women. She had never said that she would completely abandon her youngest son, so why were they taking their anger out on her?
"You...you ungrateful wretch! Your man has become like this, and you're still siding with outsiders."
Qiu's angry shouts were so loud that they startled everyone in the family and even attracted the attention of the neighbors.
Seeing that more and more people had come to watch the commotion, Shen Yunsheng told them what had happened and deliberately asked them to judge the matter.
After everyone understood the whole story, they all criticized Qiu for being shameless. It was already a miracle that her son survived, yet she still acted so recklessly.
As the accusations grew louder, Qiu Shi finally tried to defend herself.
