Chapter 279: Chapter 279 True or False First Love 79_1

The Zheng family was trying to raise money in hopes of finding jobs for Zheng Weijian and his wife.

Zhou Juan had prospects for work, but when it came to Zheng Weijian’s employment, Mother Zheng began to worry.

She would either find a job too tiring or too far from home; in short, she had many complaints.

When Big Sister Zheng heard her mother’s voice of disapproval again, she couldn’t help rolling her eyes several times before she felt much better.

"Mom, I know you think highly of my little brother, but you must understand that outside, nobody will give him face," she said.

"Nowadays, everyone wants their children to have a job and not become sent-down youth. The desirable jobs either come with a high price tag or are already taken by someone else."

"Even for these jobs that you look down on, there are many people vying for them."

Big Sister Zheng tried to be patient, "Mom, Dad, if you have the connections and can find a job for my little brother, you can disapprove as much as you like."

She could understand her parents’ perspective, but her husband could not, "Your sons-in-law are already fed up."

"Doesn’t gathering information require asking for help?" Big Sister Zheng remembered the complaints of her sisters-in-law and the somewhat truthful and false words her own husband had said.

Big Sister Zheng sighed softly, "Mom, I’m also married and have my own family," she reminded.

"Lately, as I inquire about information, my in-laws have started to show their displeasure." The conversations at the dinner table these days were so pointed that it was almost as if they were accusing her of caring only about her parental home.

Mother Zheng had not expected that her most filial elder daughter would start complaining and seemed unwilling to help.

That infuriated her, and in her mind, she only gave her daughter a light push.

But she forgot that they were standing on the stairs, and Big Sister Zheng didn’t expect Mother Zheng to actually shove someone.

What was meant to be a gentle nudge resulted in Big Sister Zheng tumbling down the stairs.

A few neighbors who heard Mother Zheng scolding the eldest daughter for being selfish and not caring about her brother came out to see the commotion.

Seeing the pushing incident left everyone shocked.

No one had thought that despite her support for her parental home, she would be blamed by her mother for being heartless toward her brother and even be pushed.

At that moment, someone shrieked, "There’s blood, there’s blood!"

"It’s fatal."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people rushed out to see Big Sister Zheng lying in the corridor, blood emerging from her.

And soon, there was a large pool of blood, "Hurry, take her to the hospital!" someone who snapped to their senses yelled.

"What happened?" they asked as they attempted to rescue her.

Someone who had seen the whole incident recounted what happened, and as Mother Zheng came to her senses, her first reaction was, "It wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me."

"I, I didn’t push anyone."

"If it wasn’t you who pushed, then are you saying your daughter fell by herself?"

"That’s right, we all saw it," they retorted.

Mother Zheng wanted to argue that Big Sister Zheng wasn’t careful, but seeing the heated emotions of those around her, she knew she couldn’t deny it.

"I really just gave a gentle push, I, I really didn’t expect her to be, to be so fragile," she said.

Yes, it really wasn’t her fault. It was all her eldest daughter’s doing. If she hadn’t made those unpleasant remarks, she never would have thought of getting physical.

"Right, it’s not your fault at all," they said sarcastically. Many people looked down on Mother Zheng’s unapologetically shirking of responsibility.

"Right, your daughter had an accident, are you going to pay up?" They could help send her to the hospital, but the cost of the medication, that surely wasn’t supposed to come from them.

Upon hearing this, what, Mother Zheng had to pay? Of course, she pretended not to see anyone, "I, I just remembered, I have things to deal with."

Ha, expecting her to pay. The girl was already married off, why should she have to pay.

Everyone shook their heads, if it were a stranger, you might refuse to get involved because it’s someone you don’t know.

But now it was her eldest daughter who was in trouble, and although everyone felt helpless, they could only chip in.

Mother Zheng was acting inhuman, but her daughter was innocent.

"I know where her husband works." They didn’t know the situation, there had already been so much blood loss, they didn’t know if she could hold on.

If she couldn’t hold on, they at least wanted the couple to see each other for one last time.

When Big Sister Zheng’s husband heard the news, he rushed to the hospital in a panic.

What awaited him was that his wife, who was lively and discussing matters with him that morning, was now critically injured beyond recovery.

Big Sister Zheng’s husband cried his heart out. Although he disliked the Yue family for their excessive meddling and for only caring about their son, never having regard for their daughter, son-in-law, or grandchildren,

he believed that as long as it was the Zheng family’s business, he had seriously dealt with it, all to avoid making his wife uncomfortable.

But what did he get in return? Nothing but dissatisfaction and various complaints. And now, his own wife’s life was gone.

When he had composed himself a bit, he found that Mother Zheng was not there, only some neighbors were present.

"That, my mother-in-law?"

Seeing the man who had just lost his wife, everyone whispered and told him what had happened.

Big Sister Zheng’s husband had heard from those who brought the news that it was Mother Zheng who had pushed her, leading to the accident.

What he hadn’t expected was that after the accident, Mother Zheng did not take her to the hospital but instead used the excuse of being busy and having no money, and did not contribute either money or effort.

How could he possibly bear this; he truly could not stand it.

Big Sister Zheng’s in-laws, upon hearing about their daughter-in-law’s accident, immediately rushed over and happened to hear everyone recounting how it all happened.

This really infuriated the in-laws, "No, this can’t be let go just like that, they must be held responsible."

Even if it was not their daughter, as long as you laid hands on someone, could it really be ignored?

Not to mention that it was their own flesh and blood, how could she be so heartless?

Mother Zheng, upon seeing the blood flowing from her eldest daughter, was truly terrified, her body shaking.

"There won’t be any problems, right." She was really worried, knowing that if something happened to her daughter, the in-laws wouldn’t let her off.

What to do? She was really panicking, truly unsure of what to do.

"Really, it’s her own fault for not handling things properly. If only she could have dealt with things smoothly, would it have come to this?"

Mother Zheng kept comforting herself, it was all the eldest daughter’s fault. If only she had done things right, would she be dissatisfied, would she have lashed out?

She had only given a light push, not even using much force, and yet that useless person just fell down like that. Truly a waste, utterly incompetent.

Mother Zheng kept reassuring herself, "Nothing will happen."

"Absolutely nothing will happen."

Despite her various attempts to shirk responsibility, Mother Zheng knew that if this became a big issue, if the police were alerted, she truly would not be facing anything good.
