Chapter 134: Defending the Shortcomings
On the other side, Lady Lin came to her senses and realized that after today’s commotion, there was probably no good end in sight. She turned around and saw Jinguan cowering, her anger erupted as she slapped Jinguan’s back, "You little brat, what’s with the nonsense you talk? Why didn’t you explain things clearly? Now, see what you’ve done. Your grandma and your dad will definitely not let us off! Why don’t you understand? With your dad crippled, we will lose all respect in front of your grandparents, and we’ll have to live at the mercy of others. And look at you! For the sake of a piece of meat, you’ve managed to offend both your grandma and your aunt. Knowing your grandma’s temper, who knows how she’ll hold this against us. What are we going to do now, tell me—how are your mother and daughter supposed to live from now on——"
As she spoke, she felt simultaneously desperate as head of the household and worried about her future days in the Wang Family, fearing she would suffer for decades. The sorrow that came from her heart made her burst into tears as she hugged Jinguan and sobbed loudly.
Jinguan, both fearful and pained, started crying loudly as well after being embraced by Lady Lin.
Wang Yongfu lay in bed, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, both out of despair and hatred for becoming a crippled man who could no longer protect his wife and child, and out of regret for not knowing what had gotten into him to have hurt his family and his dear mother.
His heart felt as if it was being fried in a pot of oil, agonizingly uncomfortable.
Wang Yongzhu, pulling Old Granny Zhang, left the Apricot Grove Clinic in one breath, still feeling fiercely resentful in her heart.
She hadn’t realized that her usually mild-mannered eldest brother harbored such grudges against their mother.
Though rationally she knew it was probably because her eldest brother, upon waking up and realizing he had become crippled, couldn’t accept it. Lady Lin, at his most vulnerable moment, had likely told him how the family didn’t care about him and left him to die in town.
And then there was Jinguan, the thoughtless one, who hadn’t gotten to eat a piece of meat and ran off to town to add fuel to the fire with her exaggerated words—all of which had now hit Wang Yongfu’s fragile and sensitive nerves.
So, when he saw Old Granny Zhang hit Jinguan, all those emotions that had nowhere to go just exploded.
But emotionally, she naturally sided with Old Granny Zhang, her own mother.
