Chapter 512: Chapter 486: Slaughtering the Fat Sheep Painfully
Although it’s not a complicated problem, Xiaoqian has become the last resort for Auntie’s family in the absence of successful domestic cases.
“If more reports occur in the future, I’ll take full responsibility.” Uncle glares at Aunt, who knows she has nowhere else to turn, but still doesn’t want to bow down easily to Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian doesn’t show any sympathy to Aunt and is resolute on this issue.
Aunt must cede territory, pay compensation, and ensure she never causes trouble again. There is no room for compromise with such people, as they will take advantage of any kindness. They bully the weak and fear the strong.
“What a good daughter-in-law you’ve brought in! What a good son you’ve raised!” Aunt can’t do anything to Xiao Qian, so she vents her anger on Mother Yu, but this time, Mother Yu shows a tough attitude like Xiao Qian.
“What did my daughter-in-law do wrong? What did my son do wrong? Li Zhen’s leg injury wasn’t our fault, and it’s Xiao Qian’s benevolence to treat him. If she doesn’t want to, that’s her right. You yell at me, if you can live with that, do so. If not, then get out!”
It seems like it happened in an instant. Aunt has gone from being the family favorite to a lowly person, and she can’t bear this huge change.
Chen Xiaoqian has a special skill and also holds the key to make her son stand again, so it’s no surprise that she is somewhat assertive.
But why would Eldest Sister-in-law, who had always been good-tempered, treat her this way?
“Wei Guo and I have reflected on ourselves. We bear responsibility for your current situation. The elder brother is like a father, the elder sister-in-law is like a mother. If your uncle eventually abandons you, we will send you back to the countryside to accompany your parents in farming and raising chickens. Through labor, you will be re-educated, and Wei Guo will call our parents about that. They also agreed with our approach.”
“Our parents already know?!” Aunt didn’t expect things to get this serious.
“Our dad nearly had a heart attack because of you! He is very regretful for not disciplining you back then. Now, the only way out for you is to truly reflect on your actions. Otherwise, not even the gods can help you. Haven’t you come to your senses yet?”
Aunt initially thought it was a trivial matter, but she didn’t know why it had escalated into such an uncontrollable situation. Chen Xiaoqian, an unassuming girl, managed to shock so many people and even made her parents aware!
“Let me be clearer. Li Zhen’s condition mostly results from your actions. He shouldn’t have had these psychological issues. It’s because you have persistently been blindly wrong, and under the banner of his well-being, you have forced him into situations his conscience can’t bear. That’s why Li Zhen is like this. If you don’t truly repent, he won’t get better.”
Xiao Qian’s words cause Aunt a great shock.
“You’re talking nonsense. I care so much about my son, I’ve tried my best for him since he was little; how can he not understand me…”
“It seems you’re not completely selfish. There are people you care about in the world, but you hurt them with your self-righteous methods. Li Zhen can’t forgive what you’ve done. Otherwise, why would he want to see me as soon as he wakes up?”
Such parents are not rare. They always say they are doing things for the good of their children, but the children themselves resist these actions.
“No, no…”
Aunt’s weak rebuttal is unconvincing, and at this moment, Uncle’s phone rings.
“What? His condition is worsening?”
As soon as Aunt hears this, she becomes anxious and wants to take the phone, but Uncle pushes her away forcefully.
“Get out! This family doesn’t need someone like you! Look at yourself – what have you driven your son to become?”
Uncles’ eyes are red, while Aunt’s face turns pale from hearing that her son has worsened, she covers her mouth and starts to cry.
“Usually other family members are affected to varying degrees when someone is psychologically unwell. Your actions have continuously impacted your child. Parents are a child’s best teachers but can also be the worst.”
Xiao Qian stands up and walks over to the sobbing Aunt, “Do you think my demand to treat your son is out of spite, or pettiness?”
“Isn’t it?” Aunt doesn’t even know what she’s saying now; her mind is filled with thoughts of her son.
“I admit, my personal grudge plays a part, but I am a psychologist with professional ethics. I wouldn’t forego a money-making opportunity due to personal grievances between you and me. After all, money is innocent.”
“How much do you want? I’ll give you whatever you want!” Aunt asks Xiao Qian.
“Of course, I want the money. Now you are just an ordinary patient’s relatives in my eyes. But you must deeply recognize your mistakes because the premise of your son’s recovery is based on your repentance. If you don’t change, your son might never stand again. Don’t believe me? Investigate for yourself.”
Xiao Qian’s words are not entirely meant to scare Aunt.
If Aunt continues like this, it will be difficult for Li Zhen to recover by the slightest chance.
Aunt, the psychological giant infant, is not entirely hopeless. Besides loving herself, she also loves her son. Under the urge of her motherly instincts, the anxious Aunt finally kneels in Xiao Qian’s direction.
Xiao Qian immediately dodges behind Mother Yu, refusing to accept such formalism.
“Please, save my son. Even if it’s all my fault, he is innocent. Please help him. You can let me die in front of you or use my life to pay for my mistakes. I’m willing!”
She starts sobbing loudly.
When she cries, both Mother Yu and Eldest Sister-in-law feel uneasy, apart from Xiao Qian.
Mother Yu goes over to help her up. “Look at you, you can talk things out. What’s the point of kneeling?”
“If she doesn’t agree, I won’t get up.” Aunt is really scared now.
“Stand up, and then we can talk about what happens next.” Xiao Qian thinks it’s time to wind things down.
As she hears this, Aunt immediately stands up and looks at Xiao Qian with teary eyes.
“I have two conditions for treating him. First, you can’t tell anyone that I treated him. When Li Zhen can stand again, this secret will remain buried. I can make him stand or hypnotize him to be paralyzed. Don’t mess with psychologists, understand?”
In reality, this is simply scare tactics with no scientific basis, but it’s very effective on Aunt. She nods her head vigorously, agreeing, and just wants her son to recover quickly.
“Second, I’ll treat him in several sessions. Each hour’s price is 20,000 yuan. You’ll settle the bill with your petty cash, and you are not allowed to use Uncle’s financial income.”
“How much?!”
