Liu Yufang's lips curled up, clearly supporting Chu Yan's words. She looked at Wen Li, who was pale and trembling with anger, and smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't think Xiao Yan's words are harsh. What she said makes a lot of sense. For people like farmers at the bottom of society, it's best to just wait to die when they get sick. There's no need for treatment at all."

"They work hard all their lives and only earn a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan, which isn't even enough for retirement, let alone medical treatment. Is it really necessary to lose their life savings?"

“Sister-in-law, you haven’t worked for almost twenty years, and your brother earns so little. Have you thought about how much it would cost to treat your mother? Where would that money come from? You can’t just take money from your husband’s family to subsidize your own family, can you?”

"I can find a way to pay for it myself. As long as you let Uncle Liu treat my mother's illness, I will find a way to pay for it, no matter how much it costs!"

Wen Li pleaded desperately, "Sister-in-law, I beg you, if Uncle Liu doesn't treat my mother's illness, she will die!"

"Then let her die!" Chu Yan said viciously.

Wen Li clutched her aching chest, ignoring Chu Yan, and looked at Liu Yufang with red and swollen eyes: "So, sister-in-law, no matter what I say, you don't want Uncle Liu to treat my mother's illness, right?"

Liu Yufang chuckled softly, "It really can't be done, sister-in-law. With my father's status, how could he possibly treat a farmer? I'm so sorry, I can't help you."

She smiled, a smile that was even somewhat malicious, as if she found pleasure in seeing Wen Li suffer.

I can’t help you…

There's nothing I can do to help!

Wen Li believed that she, as the elder sister-in-law, had never mistreated Liu Yufang. No matter how badly Liu Yufang treated her, she still regarded her as her younger brother and sister-in-law and treated her very well.

When she first married into the family, she was the one who went to mediate when she had a fight with Chu Di.

But in the end, all I got was this...

There's nothing I can do to help.

Wen Li found it too ironic, too ridiculous...

Watching Wen Li stagger away, Liu Yufang felt a sense of satisfaction.

She just doesn't like Wen Li.

It wasn't just because Wen Li came from a humble background, yet a farmer's daughter was able to marry into the Chu family with her, but also because Chu Tian had always treated Wen Li well for the past twenty years.

This is what Liu Yufang is most jealous of.

Although Chu Di treated her well, it was because he was wary of the Liu family behind her that he often went out to have affairs. Wen Li, on the other hand, was able to win Chu Tian's only love. Why was that?

……

Unable to persuade Liu Yufang, Wen Li went to find Old Mrs. Chu.

But she didn't even get to see Old Madam Chu.

"The old lady said that it was only because you, Madam, knelt down for a short while, that you almost lost half your life. Your body is delicate, and she dares not see you again."

"Please, let me see my mother-in-law. My mother is seriously ill and will die if she doesn't get treatment!"

"The old lady also said that everyone has their own fate. Since my in-laws are sick, it means that's their fate. Not only is she destined to be poor, but she's also destined to die young and unlucky! Our old lady, on the other hand, is blessed with good fortune, free from illness and misfortune. If one day she also gets sick and is bedridden, unable to move, and can only wait to die, she will accept it as her fate and will never hold her son back! She would rather die without treatment!"

“Madam, you are a daughter-in-law of the Chu family. Now that you’ve married into the family, you shouldn’t concern yourself with your own family’s affairs. Don’t use your husband’s family’s money to subsidize your own family, and don’t bother the old lady with these unlucky things.”

After the maid finished speaking, she went inside.

Wen Li was left alone, feeling cold all over under the scorching sun.

Everyone has their own fate; if someone dies, it's their own fault...

She served her mother-in-law diligently for twenty years, only to be left with this one sentence in the end.

……

Everything that happened in the Chu family was under Chu Miao's control.

The Chu family's attitude was even more ruthless than she had imagined.

But this is for the best.

Only when Wen Li is in a state of extreme collapse and despair will her desire to separate from the family become stronger.

Once she sees the true nature of these people, she won't tolerate it anymore.

If she still can't bring herself to do it after all this, then she'll really just abandon them.

"Dean Liu, please prepare an operating room for me. I will be giving my grandmother acupuncture treatment in three days." Acupuncture does not require an operating room, but Chu Miao is a very tech-savvy person. With science and technology so advanced now, sterile environments have been created, and there are all kinds of advanced equipment. Why not make use of it?

"Great!" Dean Liu's eyes lit up; Chu Miao had already shown him her treatment plan.

This is unprecedented and will likely never be repeated. If it succeeds, it will be a major advancement in the history of medicine!

"Little miracle doctor, may people watch you perform acupuncture on the day you do it?" Dean Liu asked cautiously. Chu Miao's treatment method was so unexpected that many doctors and experts wanted to see it.

“Okay.” Chu Miao nodded. Medicine is a process of mutual progress. As a newcomer to this world, she also had much to learn about Western medicine.

"You can arrange the personnel."

Dean Liu immediately went to notify the doctors who wanted to come and visit, including Liu Yufang's father, Liu Shijie.

However, Dean Liu was unaware of the feud between Chu Miao and the Liu family. He only agreed to let Chu Miao come because Liu's father was a cancer expert and they graduated from the same school, and for the sake of medical advancement.

……

Two days passed in a row.

Helpless, Wen Li went to see the doctor who treated her mother again. The doctor said he was powerless to help and that she could only find Principal Liu, who might give her mother a glimmer of hope.

Or, go find that new miracle doctor at the hospital.

However, that miracle doctor was treating Master Si, so Wen Li definitely couldn't get her to come.

Only Principal Liu can save Mother Wen...

[Lili, is it because your sister-in-law doesn't want to? If she doesn't want to, then forget it. Mom can choose not to get treatment. Don't let Mom ruin your relationship with your sister-in-law and mother-in-law.]

[Mom is really okay. Mom is so old, I've lived enough. Mom's biggest wish is for you, Miaomiao, to be happy.]

Wen Li's eyes stung even more as she read the message from her mother.

Mom, don't worry. My sister-in-law is a very good person. She's willing to let Principal Liu treat you.

After sending the message, Wen Li put her phone back in her pocket. No matter what, she was determined to cure her mother!

Having no other option, she had to go back and beg Liu Yufang again.

This time, however, Liu Yufang didn't even bother to see her.

"I'm sorry, Madam, our Second Madam is taking a nap. If you want to see her, you'll have to wait until she wakes up."
