Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Pointed at by Thousands_1
Yuan Xueshan was startled by Shi Jiajun’s cold gaze, suddenly realizing she had to look for someone. She hurriedly ran out of the hospital, frantically searching everywhere. As the night grew darker, she grew more anxious, realizing her elderly mother-in-law, with a broken leg and all alone, must be coping with difficulties!
If she really lost her mother-in-law, she didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.
Her husband and son had always treated her well. However, she knew her seemingly prominent status in the family was far inferior to that of her mother-in-law.
If anything happened to her mother-in-law, their family would be ruined, and so would her life.
“Is anyone there? Is anyone there?” She called out loudly in the streets, knocked on the neighbors’ doors, asking for help in the search. But when she explained the situation, she was met with a disdainful eye roll.
“You lost your mother-in-law? Why don’t you go lose your adopted daughter instead?” followed by the slamming of the door in Yuan Xueshan’s face.
Yuan Xueshan felt as if she had been slapped harshly, her face burning hot. Being a respected principal’s wife, she had never dreamt she would be shut out one day.
But now, dignity didn’t matter. What mattered was finding her mother-in-law. She nervously knocked on the next-door neighbor’s door, only to remember this family always had a conflict with her.
“Oh my, isn’t this the lofty principal’s wife?” The middle-aged woman crossed her arms and sneered, “What brings you here? You’re not coming to ask me for a favor, are you?”
Yuan Xueshan stood on the doorstep, her face going from pale to red, but she couldn’t utter a word.
She had always known this woman gossiped a lot, loved to nitpick, and liked to show off. She was usually too lazy to deal with her. But now… it was as if she was slapping herself in the face.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t stand the humiliation any longer and turned to leave.
But the middle-aged woman wouldn’t let her go, grabbed her clothes, and demanded, “Where do you think you’re going?”
“I need to find someone, stop wasting my time.”
“Yuan Xueshan, have you gone crazy?” The middle-aged woman burst into laughter, “Do you still think you’re the respected principal’s wife? Bullshit!”
“What do you mean by that?” Yuan Xueshan howled in anger, “I warn you, show me some respect, or I’ll slap your mouth.”
“Go ahead, if you have the guts!” The middle-aged woman brazenly moved her face closer.
“Just try and touch me, I’ve put up with you for too long. You were protected by Granny Huo and Huo Linong in the past, we all indulged you, and look at you now! You think too highly of yourself! Pooh — you don’t even know your place.”
The words of the middle-aged woman struck Yuan Xueshan like a bolt from a clear sky, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.
“Protected me? You think by slandering me, I will believe it?”
“With such a vile character like yours, do you think you’re the only one I despise? Do you really think your dignity is that big? Ha ha ha…” The middle-aged woman sneered.
“People respected Granny Huo, Principal Huo, they tolerated you for their sake. You don’t realize your true status. You’re just a refugee who married Principal Huo out of good fortune, yet you’re so ungrateful that in his absence, you dare to abuse Granny Huo.”
“Weather or not you did, everyone’s eyes are wide open!” The middle-aged woman spat rudely on the ground and mocked, “If you don’t believe what I say, give it a try. Knock on any door in town and see if anyone will talk to you.”
