What you fear will come true. When He Xuyang and Huang Xia rushed Xiao Deng, who had a high fever, to the city hospital, the doctor's face turned pale.

After a detailed diagnosis of the child's symptoms, it was confirmed that he had meningitis and pneumonia. His condition was critical and even if he saved his life, he would most likely become mentally retarded.

Huang Xia was struck by lightning. If she had known that her good son would become like this, she would not have tricked Yaya to the river to do this.

It turned out that she was the one who tricked Xiao Deng out under his orders.

After seeing He Xuyang and Qiao Chudong go out to talk together that day, she was afraid that He Xuyang would persuade Qiao Chudong to go back, so she asked her son to bring Yaya out.

She lied to Yaya and said she would take her to find her mother, and Yaya believed it.

His original intention was to take the opportunity to stop He Xuyang and Qiao Chudong from repairing their relationship, but he unknowingly reached the river.

As she looked at the turbulent river, she had evil thoughts in her mind. Although the water could not wash away an adult, it could certainly wash away a two-year-old child.

She knew that children are the bond that maintains the relationship between husband and wife. Although He Xuyang did not care much about Yaya, he would not treat his daughter harshly like other fathers who favored boys over girls.

Besides, as a woman, she also understands women. Qiao Chudong is the kind of woman who would suffer for her whole life for the sake of her children.

So…what if the baby is gone?

So she decided to push Yaya down, but she didn't expect that He Xuyang came over just when she pushed Yaya down.

In order not to arouse his suspicion, she pushed her son down as well.

Then she shouted for help, saying that two children were fighting, and Yaya wanted to push her son down, but she didn't stand firmly and fell down. Her naive and silly son actually tried to catch Yaya, but ended up falling down too.

After He Xuyang rushed into the river, he first grabbed Yaya, but her son Xiaodeng was washed away.

She hurriedly asked He Xuyang to save her son first, saying that Yaya was temporarily safe near the shore. He Xuyang believed her and immediately went to save Xiaodeng. When he looked back, Yaya had been swept away by the undercurrent.

She was so excited at that time, but she didn't expect that the bitch Yaya was fine, but her son was in trouble now.

If this is her retribution, why should she bear it alone?

"Xuyang, what should I do? Why is Yaya so mean? She wants to hurt others at such a young age. Did someone teach her that?"

After the two had physical contact, and since they were in the city, Huang Xia leaned on He Xuyang's shoulder blatantly.

He Xuyang considered that she needed comfort because of her current situation, so he did not push her away. He just said with a serious look in his eyes: "The two children were probably just playing around at that time."

Huang Xia jumped up as if provoked: "Xuyang, I know you favor that woman in your heart. It doesn't matter what you do to me, but you can't hurt my child. My child is my bottom line!"

He Xuyang looked at her eyes which were bloodshot due to anger and grievance, and he was moved.

"I will give you an explanation..."

After the old man of the Qiao family was sent up the mountain by the gong and drum team early in the morning, Qiao Laosan and his family finally returned.

Since everyone in the village knew what the father and son had done, even though Qiao Laosan was paralyzed on one side and could not speak, he was still looked down upon by many people.

Even Old Mrs. Qiao and Old Third Qiao's family felt the villagers' equal disgust.

But the whole family was so shameless that they turned a deaf ear to him and started asking Qiao Xingguo for a share of the funeral money as soon as they entered the door.

The old lady emphasized that the third child was in trouble now and should get the biggest share, but the eldest family was not short of money anyway, so they could get less or no share.

Qiao Xinguo has been busy these days, contributing money and effort. Before he could even get comfortable in his seat, they asked for money right away. Anyone would be angry.

Qiao Zhixia was afraid that Qiao Xinguo would become soft-hearted after seeing Qiao Laosan's miserable condition, so she asked her mother to take him back to rest while she would take care of the matter.

"Sister, please calculate the old man's funeral expenses, the money for our wedding banquet, and the money we received as gifts, and see how much money Third Uncle should give us?"

"Okay." Qiao Chudong took a few account books and started calculating on the abacus at the small dining table nearby.

The second aunt and the third aunt of the Qiao family hugged old lady Qiao and watched Qiao Chudong skillfully fiddling with the abacus beads. They had no idea what they wanted to do. They just collected the share money and divided it up. Why was there so much trouble?

Qiao Zhixia sat there drinking tea calmly, while Qiao Chudong was very fast and finished calculating the bill very neatly.

The final result was that not only was there no share of the money to be divided, but Qiao Laosan also had to pay Qiao Xinguo one hundred and thirty yuan.

After hearing this, Qiao Laosan and his group were furious, but since the account book was handed over and every expense was recorded clearly, they had no way of refutation.

Nowadays, when it comes to funerals, although the labor costs are very low, in many aspects the villagers even take the initiative to help without any payment.

But some expenses are unavoidable, and the biggest part of funeral expenses is the banquet.

There were twenty tables at the funeral banquet, and each table cost about twenty-five dollars.

But in the countryside, a family of three or five people can occupy half of the table with just two or three yuan of share money. After deducting the cost, they are basically losing money. How can there be any share money left to share?

So in the end, after using the share money to offset the expenses, Qiao Xinguo still lost another two hundred and sixty yuan.

It was agreed upon when the family was divided that the funeral expenses of the two old people would be shared equally by the two brothers, so Qiao Laosan should also give Qiao Xingguo an additional 130 yuan.

Seeing that they would not get a penny and would even have to pay extra money, how could they agree to this?

So the two women sat on the ground, slapping their legs and crying.

The old lady's voice was particularly loud: "Oh my God! How can we live like this? This is bullying us because we don't have a man to support us! Old man, open your eyes and take a look!"

Aunt Qiao was not to be outdone: "Dad just died, and the third child is now paralyzed... You all run companies now, and you're going to argue with us, an orphan and a widow, over a small sum of a hundred yuan? Jinbao and Yinbao, you must remember the faces of your uncle's family, and support mom when you become successful in the future!"

Qiao Zhixia crossed her legs and watched the show: "Aunt, my uncle is still alive! How can you call him an orphan and a widow? If you don't know, you would think you despise him and hope he dies soon!"

At this time, Qiao Laosan, who was lying on a stretcher nearby, suddenly started to groan and scream. His face with bulging veins turned red, and although his words were unclear, he was obviously cursing.

Soon, a foul smell emanated from him...

"Did Dad pull up his pants pocket? It stinks."

The two filial sons, Jinbao and Yinbao, who were originally standing next to him, immediately ran away in disgust.

The other onlookers also covered their noses and backed away. Seeing this, Qiao Laosan was so ashamed and angry that he turned around and glared at his wife and mother fiercely, asking them to take him away.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sure that there was no profit to be made with Qiao Zhixia, they had no choice but to take Qiao Laosan back with them.

They called Qiao Jinbao and Qiao Yinbao to come and carry the person, but the two filial sons had already run away.

Qiao Zhixia covered her nose and sneered: "Oh my, it seems that raising a son to provide for old age is not reliable anymore. Uncle San will suffer in the future!"

After she said this, many people at the scene fell silent.

Because they are all practitioners of favoring boys over girls.

Qiao Zhixia's attitude towards Old Man Qiao's family can be said to be anti-Tian Gang, but the reason why no one stands up to criticize her is because she has a certain status and money today.

This is the way the world is; the truth is always in the hands of the strong.
