A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

A heart-wrenching scream shattered the silence of the night. Lights flickered on in the family quarters, and Zhao Xuemei, who lived closest, hurriedly dressed and came out to see what was happening.

She found nothing in her own yard, but there was a dark shadow by the wall of Anning's yard next door.

The flashlight shone on the dark shadows in Anning's courtyard. Aunt Wu's eyes were suddenly blinded by the bright light, and she instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes, while her other hand remained covering her leg.

"Oh, Aunt Wu, what are you doing in Anning's yard in the middle of the night? Why are you out here so late?"

Zhao Xuemei's voice was so loud that the families living in this row all came to the courtyard, and the families of the high-rise buildings not far away also came to the corridor at the entrance.

Anning finally managed to soothe the child and then leisurely came out of the room, turning on the light under the eaves of the backyard, completely exposing Aunt Wu to everyone's view.

On a quiet winter night on the island, whispers could be heard from a short distance away.

Aunt Wu felt waves of excruciating pain coming from her leg. She was in no mood to reply to them and cried out, "My leg, my leg is broken! Quick, take me to the hospital!"

“Aunt Wu, you’re older, so I call you aunt, but that doesn’t mean I’m easy to bully. You suddenly appeared in my yard in the middle of the night. What if I take you to the hospital and then you turn around and accuse me?”

"What do you mean I'm turning the tables on you? This leg was broken because of you, shouldn't you be the one to take care of it?"

An Ning sneered and didn't mince words with her: "If this were ancient times, anyone who sneaks into my house would be beaten to death and the authorities wouldn't care! You didn't explain why you came to my yard, and instead blamed me for breaking your leg while climbing over the wall. There's no such logic in the world! Everyone saw it."

“What kind of good person would set a trap in their own yard? You never had good intentions to begin with.”

An Ning wasn't swayed by her words: "First of all, that was just a clothesline I hung on the wall. You sneaked into my yard and couldn't have seen it, so you must be blind. Secondly, so what if I set a trap in my own yard? What kind of good person goes around sneaking into other people's yards? According to your logic, honest people deserve to be bullied by people like you? If you can sneak into my yard today, you can sneak into other people's yards tomorrow. Everyone should check their own houses first to see if anything is missing!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Aunt Wu became anxious when Anning labeled her a thief.

When she climbed over the wall, she clearly felt that her feet were being lifted up by something, which is why she fell directly into the corner of the wall.

When she turned her head, she found that there was nothing hanging on her feet anymore.

That was a clothesline lying on the ground.

It was as if the fact that her feet had been hoisted up was just her imagination.

However, when she looked at her ankle, there was a clear red mark around it.

"I saw something dart into your yard when I got up in the middle of the night, so I came to check. I didn't mean to steal anything."

"Really? Then why didn't you just wake me up? Why did you sneak in?"

"I...I was just worried about disturbing everyone's sleep. Besides, I'm old and my eyesight isn't good. Who knows if I misjudged you just now? Our relationship isn't very good to begin with. If I wake you up and there's nothing there, I don't know what you'll say about me!"

Old ginger is spicier, and Aunt Wu quickly found a plausible reason, which actually convinced a few people.

But these words did not fool An Ning at all.

"If I were you, and I saw something enter my yard, I would pretend I didn't know anything and just wait to see the joke the next day. What if it's some wild animal that got in? You're old and your legs aren't strong enough; what if you hurt yourself?"

An Ning's words made the family members who had initially thought Aunt Wu's words made sense immediately realize that the incident at the military hospital had quickly spread throughout the entire family area, and everyone had a deeper understanding of how shameless Aunt Wu was.

She wanted nothing more than to tear a piece of flesh from Anning. How could she possibly be so kind as to climb over into her yard herself just to drive away the wild beasts that had entered her yard?

He must have been holding back his anger these past few days, and that's why he wanted to cause trouble in the middle of the night.

Seeing that she couldn't fool her, Aunt Wu simply stopped arguing and said, "Anyway, I've told you the reason, believe it or not. If you think I'm here to steal, then have someone search me and see if I have anything of yours on me."

Zhao Xuemei finally found a chance to interject: "Look at what you're saying. You didn't even have a chance to make a move before you broke your leg, so of course you wouldn't have anything on you. If you hadn't fallen, then things might have been different."

When Aunt Wu realized that her words were ineffective and Zhao Xuemei was still fixated on the matter, she finally started wailing again.

"Oh my God! I meant well, but I was met with ingratitude from a bunch of people! My son has gotten married and forgotten his mother, only caring about his wife and children, ignoring the fact that his old mother is being bullied!"

The little girl got up at some point and poked her head out from behind Anning, asking in a clear voice, "But Grandma, wasn't it because you didn't take care of Auntie first that Uncle went to the hospital to take care of her?"

Children this age actually understand a lot. When Anning and Zhao Xuemei were complaining together, Xiao Ni'er and Xu Pengfei listened to a lot of what they said.

However, children are not interested in such things, so even if they hear about it, it won't make a difference.

But at this moment, Aunt Wu was dealt a fatal blow.

Hearing the child's innocent words, Aunt Wu froze in place. After a moment of silence, laughter erupted from elsewhere.

Someone spoke up, "Yes, Aunt Wu. The little girl is right. Your son is taking care of his wife in the hospital, isn't it because you don't care that he's able to take time off to do so?"

"That's right! Didn't you always tell everyone that you came to the army to be a beast of burden, serving your daughter-in-law? Now that your daughter-in-law has given birth, why aren't you at the hospital taking care of her? Instead, you're blaming your son for not taking care of you?"

Seeing that everyone had finished mocking her and that this matter had dragged on for too long, An Ning finally spoke up: "I can take you to the hospital, but you must admit that your broken leg has nothing to do with me, and I will not take responsibility."

"How can that be?" Aunt Wu's eyes widened. "I broke my leg in your yard, you have to take responsibility!"

“Then you stay there. I’ll go find the military leaders to seek justice. I’ll do whatever they say. But…” An Ning deliberately dragged out her words, “I wonder if the military will find out that Battalion Commander Zhao has a mother who likes to stage accidents for money, and whether that will affect his work.”

Zhao Xuemei played along with her at the right time: "What's there to be afraid of affecting Battalion Commander Zhao's work? She loves her second son the most, so as long as it doesn't affect him, it's fine."

"But what if the older brother doesn't want to support his younger brother anymore because of this?"

Aunt Wu's face turned bright red, half from anger and half from pain.

She shouted, "I fell down by myself, it has nothing to do with you, okay? Are you satisfied now? Can you take me to the hospital now?"

Anning looked at her and said, "You don't seem like someone who's willing to admit it. Maybe I should go find the leader. I'm afraid you'll try to extort money from me later."

Aunt Wu gritted her teeth: "With so many people watching, how could I do such a thing? Everyone can testify for me."

This is what she hates the most. Because of this incident, the entire residential area has been abuzz with discussion. It's estimated that as soon as it gets light, the new topic of conversation in the residential area will be about her.

"Don't worry, Anning! We all saw what happened. If she tries to extort you, we'll be your witnesses!"

It was Wei Hong who spoke.

She's the kind of person who loves to watch the drama unfold. Before, when she saw An Ning move into this house, she even went to pass on a message to Wang Xiuying. Now that Wang Xiuying is gone, she's not embarrassed at all. She still greets An Ning and Zhao Xuemei as usual, even though they don't like her.

Besides Wei Hong, several other military wives also agreed, and An Ning then borrowed a stretcher to take Aunt Wu to the hospital.
