Chapter 930 Treat Him 2
As soon as she heard these words, Old Lady Liu’s temper flared up, and she went straight in and snapped, "Food can be chosen randomly, but words can’t be recklessly spoken. What do you mean calling Mianmian a thankless wretch? What has she done to look like a thankless wretch?"
"I’m talking about Mianmian, not your Xiaocui. Why are you getting so worked up?" retorted the woman who had been speaking ill of Shen Mianmian, now feeling somewhat guilty.
"Although Mianmian isn’t my biological daughter, I’ve always treated her as if she were," said Old Lady Liu.
As soon as she said this, someone laughed mockingly, "Now that Mianmian has gotten into college, you treat her as your daughter. Let me tell you, sucking up to her is futile. Jianhua raised her for so many years, wasn’t that in vain? That girl is heartless—anyone who raises her is cursed."
These people had long forgotten the hardships Shen Mianmian had faced from a young age. In their eyes, it was normal for parents to hit their children; that wasn’t considered abuse, nor was it abnormal to deny them education.
There were many in the village who hadn’t gone to school, but abandoning one’s parents was unacceptable.
Especially in the case of Shen Mianmian, who wasn’t even Shen Jianhua’s biological child yet had been raised by him for so many years, and then she just left—wasn’t that like raising a thankless wretch?
Even a dog wouldn’t dare to leave home.
"Who are you talking about?" Old Lady Liu’s face turned red with anger, "Zhou Siyu was raised for so many years and hasn’t been seen up to now. Why haven’t I seen you gossiping about that? Why are you so fixated on Mianmian? Did she desecrate your family’s ancestral grave?"
The way that Mianmian had lived back then was known to everyone, and it angered her to hear them still saying such things now.
