Chapter 632: Chapter 633 Sister Like Mother 50_1

What? Zhao Mei had not expected so many people to come, what should she do? Now she was completely unable to clear her name.

It was all Huang Li Na’s fault, that damn girl. If it weren’t for her, would she be in such an awkward situation now?

What to do? Zhao Mei knew that even if she hadn’t done it, with Huang Li Na stating it outright, everyone would definitely blame her, and she had no way to argue at all.

Out of options, Zhao Mei could only resort to the worst way to handle this embarrassment, shouting, "My head hurts so much."

"I feel so dizzy."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell down. The three of them didn’t react, Huang Man wasn’t without reaction either. Hearing her say this, Huang Man wondered if it was time to take action.

But when Zhao Mei actually fell, she didn’t extend a hand to help — what if she didn’t catch her, or caused Zhao Mei to get injured? What then?

Looking at Huang Xin and the rest, they too hadn’t reacted, naturally, they followed suit.

Zhao Mei thought that after she had given them a preamble, how come no one was helping her up, she looked incredulously at the three, especially at Huang Man.

Having decided not to intervene, Huang Man certainly continued the act perfectly, with a face full of surprise and confusion, "Mom, mom."

Huang Xin was also stunned. By the time he thought to run to her, noticing that the other two hadn’t reacted, he instantly retracted the leg he had extended, worried about accidentally hurting her.

Huang Man noticed Huang Xin’s hesitation, and so did Zhao Mei. She couldn’t believe that her most cherished son, who had reacted, had pulled his leg back, she looked at Huang Xin in disbelief.

Huang Xin had felt a bit guilty, but when he saw Zhao Mei’s angry expression, he figured there was no reason to feel so. He couldn’t afford to get injured, and besides, Zhao Mei was just acting.

Angered, Zhao Mei didn’t hold back her strength, and when she hit the ground, she made quite a racket.

Huang Man, seeing the dust rise from the floor, thought, good grief, she really didn’t go easy on herself. She just wondered how much it hurt to fall like that.

Seeing Zhao Mei twitching, it seemed the experience was undoubtedly unpleasant.

"Mom, mom, are you okay?" Figuring she might blow up, it seemed the best option was just to ask.

Looking at Huang Man crouching down to show concern, Zhao Mei really wanted to slap her, but she dared not.

She didn’t act, but she spoke her mind, Zhao Mei angrily said, "How could I have given birth to such ungrateful, callous children like you."

"Is filial piety useful?" Huang Man felt sorry for the honest child the original owner had been.

"I used to treat you well, I took care of all the household affairs inside and outside the home."

"But how did you manage them? The benefits went to Huang Xin and the others, and whenever there was work to do, sacrifices to be made for the family, it became my responsibility."

"In this family, those who are cold-hearted and only look out for themselves are the ones who fare better," Huang Man took a deep breath.

"Mom, you’re not hurt, right? I knew nothing serious would happen to you."

"You’ve been through so much, such a small crisis is nothing to you."

Hmmph, Huang Man outright betrayed Zhao Mei, "Mom, if you’re okay, then there’s no need to lie on the ground."

Zhao Mei’s eyes widened, she had just vented a bit of her frustration, and now her daughter Huang Man had struck back so fiercely.

Pointing at her angrily, she said, "You really are my good daughter."

"I have no choice, you treat me the way you do, and I respond in kind," said Huang Man as she helped Zhao Mei to her feet and carefully supported her to the hallway.

"Huang Xin, get a chair for mom, let her rest at the doorway."

"Mom, don’t you like to chat? You can chat with everyone now."

Huang Xin could see Zhao Mei’s legs trembling and once again lowered his estimate of the ruthlessness of the two sisters.

He was somewhat confident in dealing with Huang Lina; as long as a certain someone made money, she would definitely not make a fuss.

But when it came to Huang Man, he really didn’t know how to handle her and had no way to start.

Before, he could push Zhao Mei forward, but now that move was completely useless; that card was completely played out.

Huang Xin mentally raised Huang Man’s threat level again and obediently moved the stool behind Zhao Mei, "Mom, please sit."

Zhao Mei glared at Huang Xin hatefully, thinking her son was raised in vain. He knew full well she didn’t want to come out, didn’t want to face these old neighbors, but he still listened to Huang Man just like that.

After Huang Xin placed the stool down, he then pressed her into it, "Mom, you always enjoy chatting, don’t you?"

"You can chat with them." Huang Xin thought it was a good idea.

Let everyone see what kind of person Zhao Mei is, just a consummate liar. Otherwise, once they start making money, Zhao Mei would definitely ask for money, and her appetite would surely grow bigger and bigger.

If they don’t give her money, if they can’t meet her demands, she would definitely go around the village saying how undutiful they are, how they don’t give her money.

Only by thoroughly suppressing her could Zhao Mei be completely silenced.

Huang Man saw Zhao Mei had sat down, "Mom, take your time chatting with everyone, I’m going to go back to my room to prepare for class."

"My mom just fell down, and although she seems fine now, who knows if there’s an issue."

Huang Man explained as Zhao Mei’s health might not be good, and there’s still a good chance she could collapse again.

Zhao Mei thought, right, she had just fainted earlier. If those people said something extreme, she could just faint again.

With that thought, Zhao Mei’s eyes suddenly widened, ha ha ha, she had an ace up her sleeve.

The onlookers all snorted coldly, "No worries, we’ll be polite."

Huang Man noticed Zhao Mei’s eyes light up just now and knew she must have some scheme in mind.

If Zhao Mei didn’t play it this way, she would just be encircled and criticized in the village, where, with nothing better to do, people gossip and stir up trouble, and Zhao Mei wasn’t the only one doing it.

They were just venting a bit, and after the venting, Zhao Mei would still be criticized but would be able to chat with the villagers.

But if she really kept fainting every so often, pushing back those questioning her, she would become less and less popular in the village with each incident.

After getting their assurance, Huang Man went back to her room to work on lesson planning, though what she really wanted to do was write her novel.

The novel she had submitted was also nearing its end; she planned to finish the ending quickly during the summer vacation and start writing the beginning of a new book.

If she got to study in Capital City this time, taking advantage of the current low property prices, before the houses got registered, she could buy several units.

Then, even if she didn’t get a full scholarship to study abroad, even if she was too busy with studies to write novels, she wouldn’t have to worry about not having an income.

Later, she could sell the houses to support her studies abroad.

Too bad Huang Xin and Huang Lina even said that her position was very good for watching everything unfold.

Left with no choice, Huang Man could only let them stay in the room; insisting on driving them away would only fuel their curiosity.
