Chapter 547: Chapter 547
The overcast sky seemed to foreshadow that today’s trip would not go smoothly.
As expected, after Mrs. He and He Jinxia had paid their respects to the two elders, they were about to walk towards He Zhixiang’s (He Jinxia’s father) gravesite, they encountered He Hui’s family.
Since yesterday, when He Hui and her family had come to their house with big and small bags to block them, He Jinxia had a hunch that He Hui’s family must have also moved to live in Qingdu.
After all, her mother had given them the supermarket space, so it wouldn’t be surprising for their entire family to relocate to Qingdu, and running into them today was even less surprising.
Even her mother remembered that today was the memorial day of the grandparents, so how could He Hui, being their daughter, forget it?
Mrs. He had told her a lot about the He Family yesterday, and a lot about the grandparents as well.
Her mother said that the grandparents passed away together, peacefully, without illness or disasters; they just lay in their room, fell asleep, and never woke up, with smiles on their faces.
In their family’s customs, passing away peacefully in old age without illness or hardship is considered fortunate, so Mrs. He always believed that the two elders would be reborn into a good life, and also believed that her husband would have a happier life in the next life.
Because he sacrificed himself to save others, that too is a blessing.
When the two families met on a narrow path, Mrs. He, seeing them, couldn’t control herself from recalling yesterday’s events, and she got so angry that her face turned red. She wanted to walk over to reason with He Hui.
He Jinxia saw that they were outnumbered and that there were many people around who had come to offer their respects. She knew that confronting them now would not be wise, so she firmly pulled Mrs. He to walk in a different direction.
They had just turned around when He Hui in front of them immediately ran over, unusually grabbing Mrs. He. She showed none of the timidity she had displayed after being scolded away by He Jinxia the day before and cursed loudly: Check latest chapters at NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"Do you even have the face to come here and offer your respects? My entire family was killed by you! You’re just a jinx, bringing bad luck to your husband and relatives!"
Mrs. He pushed He Hui away, unable to bear it anymore, without needing to bear it any longer, and screamed with her finger pointed at her: "He Hui, what face do you have to curse me?"
"For so many years, I’ve been sending you money every year, not asking for anything in return, supporting your family for so many years and you never learn a bit of gratitude, you are the true ingrate, and your whole family is!"
"My dad, my mom, my brother, they were all killed by you, giving you money is what I’m supposed to do! If it wasn’t for you, they would still be alive in this world!" He Hui placed her hands on her hips and retorted with defiance, determined to be unreasonable to the end.
Others who were there to offer their respects were attracted by their shouting, turning their heads to look, with some people even walking towards them, seemingly ready to spectate.
Seeing this, He Jinxia’s brow involuntarily furrowed.
Mrs. He was so angered by He Hui’s words that she almost cried out, her neck stiffening as she said, "Killed by me, how did I kill them? Did I force your brother to enlist in the army and then get killed? Or was it after your brother died that I voluntarily became a widow for him, unwilling to marry another man to keep my parents from being unhappy?"
"I’m not like you; when Zhixiang was alive, you would take half his salary every month. When your parents were alive, you never sent money to support them in their old age!
"I was the one who took care of the two elderly people. You never came back to see them even once in four or five years. How do I have no face now? Huh? What do I owe to the He Family?"
As Mrs. He spoke, tears flowed from her eyes. She had a soft personality, was earnest, but even earnest people have their temper, and being defamed and angrily cursed time and again was too much for her to take!
He Hui was somewhat stunned; she hadn’t expected He Fang, who had always shown restraint in front of her, to suddenly say so much.
She had thought that He Fang was the same old He Fang, who would just stand there, face reddening and ears turning crimson, listening to her scolding.
Now, the onlookers’ view of He Hui had changed; they originally thought Mrs. He must have done something despicable to have people come after her , but now they saw she was entangled with some shameless relatives!
Seeing the way the people around her were looking at her, He Hui felt her heart skip a beat. No, this couldn’t go on!
Just yesterday, they had discussed with that reporter that today they would capture the ridiculous spectacle of He Fang and He Jinxia and post it online, so that the whole internet would scold He Jinxia and pressure her into apologizing to her and giving her money.
Her son had gone out to do business and failed, losing a lot of money, and had been duped into gambling away a sum—money that was set aside for buying a house!
The only source of income for their family now was the supermarket left to them by He Fang, but the supermarket’s monthly profits were too small, and they were not satisfied.
Her son had no interest in managing the supermarket either, finding it boring, and the monthly turnover kept decreasing, which would eventually lead to a loss.
Therefore, He Hui had set her sights on He Fang early on. He Fang had casually given them a supermarket before, and she figured she could get even better things from her now!
Back then, He Jinxia hadn’t been famous yet!
Unable to out-talk He Fang, He Hui’s eyes darted around before she suddenly slapped her thigh and knelt on the ground, crying out:
"Woo woo, my poor brother! If it weren’t for the need to support you, why would he have gone to join the military?"
"Don’t think I don’t know. It was you who told him that joining the military was promising, that there was a subsidy every month. You even said you were willing to become a military wife, waiting for his promotion before following him to various postings!"
"Now that there’s no war, how can a promotion come so easily? He only has a junior high school diploma, nothing else. What future can he have in the army? You clearly just wanted to exploit him, to take his salary behind his back while he was away and cheat on him!"
"You, you!" Mrs. He didn’t have the shamelessness of He Hui; she felt a rush of blood to her forehead, almost fainting on the spot, and He Jinxia quickly supported Mrs. He.
Seeing her pale face, He Hui was pleased, thinking she had a chance. She spoke even more outrageously, "You are stricken by what I said, aren’t you? If you hadn’t done so many conscienceless deeds before, my brother and my parents wouldn’t have died so early!"
"That money should all be mine; it’s the inheritance of my parents and my brother. I am their only family member left in this world. Weren’t the earnings you made before enough? What’s wrong with me wanting back my own share?"
He Hui swept her gaze around and pointed at He Jinxia, cursing loudly, "And you! You little bastard, ingrate! I don’t even know if you’re my brother’s own daughter or some bastard He Fang had with someone else outside!"
"I am your aunt; I bought you so much as you grew up. I don’t expect you to remember my kindness, but I never troubled you, did I? Why do you have to treat me this way?"
"Yes, you’ve become rich and famous, a big star now. I don’t expect anything from you. When I went to Imperial City to look for you last time, it was just because your sister-in-law wanted to attend your concert. Was it necessary for you to keep us out and not let us in?"
"How could your heart be so black, making us pay ten times the price for a concert ticket? Doesn’t your conscience bother you? Cheating money from the elderly is a sin that will send you to hell. I’m your aunt, and you have never shown me any respect. Every time I visited your house, you also scolded me. What have I done to you!"
