She was very thin, her whole body seemed to be skin and bones, her mouth drooped down, and her numb eyes seemed to see no hope for life, she was just barely surviving.

Grandma Xia was sizing her up, and she was sizing up Grandma Xia as well.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide, pushed the person out, and slammed the door shut.

Inside the house, Tian Chengping's cursing voice rang out again, "Who is it?"

Old woman: "A stranger."

After swearing a few times, Tian Chengping said, "Just because you don't know him doesn't mean I don't. You're getting more and more useless as you get older, you can't even ask his name."

He staggered over to open the door, but the old woman stopped him, saying, "Don't open the door."

How could a scoundrel like Tian Chengping possibly listen to his mother? He raised his hand and shoved her aside, ignoring her falling to the ground, and opened the door directly.

"You..." Tian Chengping was dumbfounded, then anger surged within him. "You actually dare to come to my house looking for me? Do you want to hit me?"

He shoved Old Lady Xia, making her stumble, and Chen Xiangbei became furious, "How dare you push my mother?"

Old Mrs. Xia was also furious, "You beast!"

Tian Chengping: "Who are you calling a beast? I only cursed at you a few times and you sent me to jail. Now you've even come to my house to curse me. You're the beast, aren't you? You old hag."

Grandma Xia thought of the old woman from earlier. Even if she was so thin and frail, even after so many years, she couldn't possibly not recognize her.

She's only ten years older than me, how could she look so old? How much suffering must she have endured to have no light left in her eyes?

Wasn't she married off to a village? How did she end up here again, with a beastly son like Tian Chengping?

Grandma Xia had so many questions she wanted to ask, but the person in front of her kept bothering her and stopping her.

The two sides started shoving each other, and Xia Yu'e inside finally couldn't hold back and came out.

"You guys... stop arguing."

Tian Chengping turned around and shoved her hard again. "What business is it of yours? You should use your time to wash more clothes for others and earn more money. Your son lost his job because of this old hag. He'll starve to death. If I really starve to death, how will you face my father?"

The neighbors who were watching the commotion couldn't stand it anymore. Even though they had clashed with Tian Chengping many times before and didn't want to get involved, they couldn't help themselves.

"Your father was driven to his death by you, and you still have the nerve to mention him?"

“You’ve earned money as a worker, but I’ve never seen you give any money to your mother. She can’t even afford to eat.”

"You're shameless. It would be more useful to raise a chicken than to raise you."

“Aunt Tian is so pitiful. Her husband used to beat her when he was still alive, and even after he died, her son still abused her.”

"She can't even sit still for a few cents a day when she washes clothes. Now that Tian Chengping is unemployed, he'll probably take even that little bit of money away from her. He's going to starve his mother to death."

"Why doesn't God take this beast away?"

Old Mrs. Xia pieced together the story of her sister's hardships over the years from other people's accounts, and her eyes immediately reddened. Her sister's life was simply unbearable.

Aunt Tian, ​​also known as Xia Yu'e, began to refute her neighbor's words for the first time. She could recognize her sister, so her sister must have recognized her too. She didn't want her sister to know what she had been living all these years. The reason she sent her to pursue her future was that she didn't want her to live the same kind of life as her.

As long as one of the two sisters can live a decent life, that's enough. She doesn't want Yue'e to take all the blame for her suffering after knowing about her years of hardship, and feel guilty about it later. She doesn't need her sister to feel guilty towards her.

She was pushed down again by Tian Chengping. Because she had been starving for years, her vision went black. She tried to get up but couldn't. She was helped up by the child her sister brought.

When Grandma Xia saw this scene, she could no longer hold back. She no longer cared that this person was not her family member and that she would have to pay compensation if they fought. She couldn't care less about anything else.
