CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 323 THIS IS NOT A TRIVIAL MATTER

Qin Mei saw her elder brother and sister-in-law return and promptly went up to greet them.

"Sister-in-law, what happened outside?"

Rong Yan saw her rare curiosity and replied, "There was a little incident, some people were arguing, but it’s over now, so your elder brother and I have come back. We don’t get involved in other people’s business."

Not getting involved in other people’s business because saving someone doesn’t count as meddling.

Upon hearing her brother say this, Qin Mei chose not to ask any further.

"I’m going to cook." Qin Ye headed toward the kitchen; he wanted to make something delicious for his wife.

Rong Yan nodded her head; the kitchen was too hot, she didn’t want to go there.

Meanwhile, the crowd that was blocking the Sun family’s courtyard gradually dispersed, after all, as long as the person was saved, that was enough. Of course, there were still quite a few onlookers remaining.

However, looking at the mother and daughter crying bitterly... no one spoke up to dissuade them at this time.

Some things needed to be cried out to calm the emotions, otherwise keeping it bottled up could lead to serious illness.

At this moment, Sun Taoquan had also timely returned, not even bothering to park his bicycle properly; he pushed it aside.

He rushed into the courtyard.

When he saw his wife sitting on the ground, holding their daughter and crying terribly, both drenched, he was shocked and hurried over, "Chang Ying, our daughter is all right, isn’t she?"

Someone had gone home before

His voice finally awakened the two who were holding onto each other and sobbing.

"Daddy..." Eight-year-old Sun Xiaoyu had just experienced death, and she was truly frightened, but seeing her father, she threw herself into his arms.

Sun Taoquan quickly embraced his daughter, "Don’t cry, my girl, dad is here..."

After comforting his daughter, he turned to look at his wife and happened to catch her resentful gaze.

He started, then sheepishly spoke up, "Wife, let’s still take our daughter to the hospital to get checked out!"

Chang Ying knew now was not the time for settling scores; she took a deep breath, "Let’s go to the hospital."

Sun Tao picked up his daughter, ready to leave, but suddenly he remembered something, "Mom, give me the money, I’m taking Xiao Yu to the hospital to get checked."

Their family, having only one son, and with their sister married off, had not divided the household.

Since his mother was around, the money earned by the couple was handed over to her for safekeeping, and she also managed any expenses around the house.

Whenever they needed money, they would ask their mother for it.

At this moment, he didn’t have any money on him, and neither did his wife.

You can’t go to the hospital without bringing a single cent.

The mention of money made Mrs. Sun feel the pinch.

She said softly, "Xiao Yu is fine now, isn’t she? Why go to the hospital? She just needs to spit out the water..."

Upon hearing her mother-in-law’s words, Chang Ying’s already unhappy face... turned utterly dark.

"You won’t give money, is that it? Fine, I’m going to throw Guo Jian into the well right now."

With that, she turned to walk back.

Mrs. Sun was startled by her action, "Have you gone mad..."

"Yes, I’ve gone mad, I nearly lost my daughter forever, do you think I’m not mad? Now, will you give the money or not?"

Sun Taoquan also quickly said, "Mom, we’re going to the hospital for our daughter’s sake, don’t delay us, please give us the money."

At this time, he stood by his wife’s side.

Moreover, if his mother obstructed their daughter from going to the hospital, this matter would be impossible to get past in the future.

"...I’ll give it, I’ll get it for you," Mrs. Sun, seeing her son command it, felt she had no choice.

With a dark expression, she walked to her own room.

Chang Ying’s face was tense as she followed Mrs. Sun into the house.

Seeing her come in, Mrs. Sun felt uneasy, "What are you doing in here?"

"Hurry up and take out the money. If my daughter’s health suffers any long-term weakness, I will certainly make Guo Jian experience what it’s like to be drowned in a well." At this moment, Chang Ying was nowhere near as respectful to her mother-in-law as usual, but instead, her face was dark and grim like a vengeful black demon.

Especially terrifying.

Mrs. Sun was seeing her like this for the first time and was a bit frightened.

She didn’t doubt for a second that Chang Ying would actually do it.

Thinking of her daughter-in-law throwing her grandchild into the well... her body shook inexplicably.

"...I’ll go get it for you."

She had no choice but to open the wooden chest and take out a neatly folded piece of clothing. Then she unfolded the clothes and took out a bulging handkerchief bundle.

Before she could even start to count the money,

Chang Ying’s hand reached out and directly snatched away all the money.

Mrs. Sun was shocked and instinctively tried to snatch it back. "Chang Ying, what are you doing? Give me back the money..."

"This is the money our husband and I have earned, and now we’re going to use it to take our Xiao Yu to the hospital."

After she finished speaking, Chang Ying didn’t wait for a response and strode out the door.

Mrs. Sun couldn’t let her take all the money away just like that, which amounted to a full 500 dollars!

That was several years of savings. If she let her daughter-in-law take it away, would the money ever come back?

So anxious that she was practically foaming at the mouth, she hurriedly chased after her, "Chang Ying, give me the money..."

Chang Ying ignored her and went straight to Sun Taoquan, "Let’s go, to the hospital."

Sun Taoquan nodded, then carried his daughter and started walking out.

Seeing the couple leave like that, Mrs. Sun was so anxious she nearly fell over, "Chang Ying, leave the money..."

Chang Ying ignored her, picked up the bicycle, and pushed it outside.

Once outside, she took her daughter into her arms, letting Sun Tao ride the bicycle while she sat on the rear seat, holding her daughter tightly.

Although not the most comfortable position, Sun Tao’s cycling skills were quite good, and the ride was relatively stable.

Mrs. Sun chased after them, only to see the bicycle already far away...

She immediately slapped her thigh and cried out, accusing Chang Ying of being unfilial and robbing her of all her money.

Some people couldn’t stand it, "Sister-in-law Sun, where did you get that money? Isn’t the money in your hands earned by your son and daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Sun was, after all, a widow who hadn’t gone out to earn money for a long time.

And the Sun Tao couple were both working, both employed at the factory, earning a decent amount.

The couple was also very decent, handing over the money they made to the family.

Now that their daughter needed to go to the hospital, shouldn’t the money be used for that?

Mrs. Sun immediately fired back, "What business is it of yours how we handle our family’s affairs? Besides, with elders in the family, since when does a daughter-in-law get to manage the finances?"

She was quite angry.

A full 500 dollars!

Besides, wasn’t the child fine? Why waste money on a hospital visit?

At this point, Li Juan said in an undertone, "Wasn’t it Yan who suggested that Sister Chang Ying go to the hospital? Actually, everything would have been fine once the water was spat out."

These words instantly redirected Mrs. Sun’s outrage.

Right! If it weren’t for that Yan sticking her nose in, who would be spending this money for nothing?

But this annoyance was not easy to confront, after all, it was she who had saved her granddaughter.
