Chapter 10: Your Son Has Grown Up (1/2)

The three aunts demanded not only that Feng Hongmei transfer the beneficiary of the compensation money to their names but also shamelessly demanded she kneel and apologize.

How grave a sin had she committed?

Their sole intention was to conveniently shift all the blame onto Feng Hongmei.

After all, she was a widow and mother, an easy target for their bullying…

“Kneel down!”

“Apologize!”

“Pay up!”

In front of hundreds of people, the three aunts relentlessly scolded her loudly.

People’s eyes were all fixed on Feng Hongmei.

Some felt sorry for her, while others were secretly laughing.

A few neighbors who knew Feng Hongmei well stood up to speak up for her, but they were viciously rebuffed by the shameless women.

“Let’s see who dares to interfere today!”

“Your families all have children and elderly, don’t meddle in our affairs, or you’ll face our wrath!”

“Step back and just watch, anyone who dares say another word, we three sisters won’t let him off!”

The well-meaning neighbors quickly backed down.

Feng Hongmei didn’t blame them.

She only blamed herself for being a woman.

Looking aside, she hoped her good friend Ding Xiang and Old Shen would come to help.

After all, they had discussed it before, and Ding Xiang had promised to help, but she was still nowhere to be seen.

But there wasn’t enough time for her to think too much.

The three aunts kept pressing her, their insults growing more offensive.

Feng Hongmei wasn’t afraid of being scolded; she had heard enough of it over the past month.

She was only worried about affecting Zhao Qingfeng’s studies. If he couldn’t get into university, how could she face her deceased husband?

“Hurry up and kneel!”

“If you don’t apologize, we’ll make a scene at your factory!”

“We’ll parade you through the county, let everyone know the infamous name of Feng Hongmei!”

The venomous words filled Feng Hongmei’s ears.

At that moment, Zhao Qingfeng was in the crowd, peering through the gaps, clearly seeing everything.

He tried to break free,

But Shen Kuo held him too tightly.

Ding Aunt kept persuading, “Little Feng, why are you so stubborn? The more you resist, the worse it is for your mother.”

“Mmm…”

Zhao Qingfeng almost bit his teeth in frustration.

At that moment,

Feng Hongmei in the crowd seemed to have agreed to the unreasonable demand to kneel down and apologize.

“I can kneel down…”

Feng Hongmei forced herself not to cry, gritting her teeth, “But you have to promise me one condition, don’t take the fifty thousand!”

“Ha ha ha!”

“Just as I said, you’re a miser, rather kneel than give money.”

“Is money that important to you? I even suspect you poisoned our brother, you modern-day Pan Jinlian!”

The three aunts hurled whatever insults they could think of.

They made wild accusations, even pinning a false affair on Feng Hongmei with an old friend.

They didn’t dare to directly name Shen Kuo.

But their insinuations were clear.

The crowd loved to witness such domestic drama.

For a while,

Discussion buzzed incessantly.

Feng Hongmei didn’t want them to continue making a scene and shouted, “You can have the money, but only after my son goes to university! I’ll write an IOU for now, after all, that’s the last inheritance Old Zhao left for us, his widow and orphan, and it’s also for Little Feng’s university tuition…”
