Chapter 277 - 269 Rotten Peach Blossoms
Lin Meizhu’s family wasn’t made up of vegetarians. They came knocking on the door with a vengeance.
After a bout of chaos, no one knew who had pushed and accidentally injured Tian Xiaoju, causing her to hit her back and become paralyzed.
After such a big disaster, Lin Meizhu’s family shrank away, and Lin Meizhu herself stopped pursuing Xie Changgen, who also didn’t dare to make any more fuss. As a result, he even went to persuade Tian Xiaoju. With no one to stand up for her, she had no choice but to accept her bad luck.
Afterward, Lin Meizhu could still bluff Tian Xiaoju by taking care of her for a few days. But how could there be a filial son at the bedside of a chronic illness, let alone between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair with "deep-seated enmity"?
When Xie Changgen heard the news and hurried back, he saw his mother, who was almost completely neglected and lying there in filth. Fortunately, it was winter, and the time was short enough that bedsores hadn’t developed yet. But after just half a month of sometimes having a meal and sometimes not, Tian Xiaoju was already starved and out of shape.
Xie Changgen couldn’t afford to argue with Lin Meizhu. He beat Xie Changzu harshly and declared that their brotherly relationship was completely severed for life. Then he hired Xie Aijiao’s mother-in-law and several other women from the village who were familiar with her to thoroughly clean Tian Xiaoju. He also arranged for a sanatorium to send a vehicle to pick her up.
Since the family was no longer in need of money, there was no need for Xie Changgen and Lu Aimei to obstruct anything. Besides, how could Xie Changgen have received the news and been able to afford the substantial expenses for Tian Xiaoju’s placement in the sanatorium without their support?
Staying in the sanatorium with professionals to take care of her, Tian Xiaoju couldn’t stir up any more trouble.
