Chapter 118 The Bigger the Trouble
The woman next to her continued, "You’re right, and now with Sun Mei gone, her son has become a burden in others’ mouths, living off others. He has even caused his own aunt such harm. Ah, it’s such a sin!"
Another woman whispered, "You didn’t see, but yesterday afternoon, my nephew from my mother’s side broke his arm, and I happened to be at the clinic. Stone’s back was covered in blisters; I couldn’t bear to look. The doctor said his buttocks and thighs were the same.
The kid was biting his teeth, not crying out in pain. The doctor applying the medicine felt so sorry for him that his eyes reddened. That Kong Yuru is no good!"
"Is it that serious?"
"Why would I lie to you? The doctor even said if those blisters don’t get absorbed by today, they’ll have to do a procedure called drainage. They’ll have to puncture the side and let the blister fluid out before applying more medicine. Just thinking about it hurts my heart."
"Poor Stone, Ning Ziping’s parents are no better. Even if they don’t want a daughter-in-law from the countryside, that grandson is still their own flesh and blood. To think they don’t want even their grandson, what they’re doing is absolutely heartless."
"Isn’t that the truth? Likely, Ning Ziping’s spouse in the city doesn’t allow it. Sun Mei was also unlucky, marrying a Chen Shimei."
After Luo Qiao had breakfast at home, locked the door, and went down to the riverside to get ready for work, the Sun Family’s house was still in an uproar.
The local officials had intervened, but the issue remained unresolved. Both the eldest and the third branches of the Sun Family agreed that they would only take the child back if he was in good condition, while they would not foot the medical bills from the clinic or the city.
