Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 161 - Revealed Birth_1

Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Revealed Birth_1 Chapter 161 -161 Revealed Birth_1 There were quite a few murmuring spectators all around, some from neighbouring towns who had come to market, and a good deal were stall owners.

Nan Fei stood among them, startled, enraged, and flustered.

She had worried about what Huo Jinlan might do while she was away. But her parents seldom visited the market, so the odds of running into her were quite low. Still, the moment she returned home, she just happened to run into her.

From where she was standing, she was directly behind Huo Jinlan. Granny Huo had fallen right in front of her, making it easier for her to get to her than her parents could.

Zhou Yongxian’s face was pale, and she was sweating profusely with pain. She wanted to say something but couldn’t utter a word, whether it was from the pain or the anger.

“Granny, are you alright?” Nan Fei knelt down and carefully lifted Zhou Yongxian into her arms. She gently wiped the beads of sweat on Granny’s forehead with her sleeve.

Her heart ached.

“Granny, where does it hurt?”

Zhou Yongxian grimaced in pain and opened her eyes to see Nan Fei’s face. She tried to smile, but the pain left her unable to.

“My foot… it hurts.”

Knowing that it was just her foot gave Nan Fei some relief. At least the injury wasn’t elsewhere, allowing her to carry Granny Huo to the hospital. Elderly people generally lack calcium. Their bone structure isn’t as strong as younger people, so they are prone to fractures from falls.

Zhang Feng Mei was the first to spot Nan Fei and called out with a hint of joy in her voice, “Nan Fei, you are back. Please hurry and get Granny Huo to the hospital. We cannot afford to waste any time.”

They had been intending to get Granny Huo to the hospital from the moment she fell. However, Huo Jinlan kept interfering and obstructing their efforts.

“Okay!”

Huo Jinlan hadn’t expected Nan Fei to return at this moment. When she turned around and saw her standing right behind her, her face contorted with anger. She angrily bit her lip and accused Nan Fei, “What do you think you’re doing, Jiang Nanfei? Do you want to harm my grandmother again?”

Nan Fei replied scornfully, “The person who seems most intent on harming Granny Huo appears to be you. What’s your motive for not allowing us to get her to the hospital when she’s in so much pain from her fall?”

Her comment hit Huo Jinlan straight in her weakness, with no room for rebuttal.

The observing crowd had initially thought that Huo Jinlan was being filial by trying to protect her grandmother. But upon hearing Nan Fei’s comment, they soon understood the situation.

Indeed! If she truly cared about her grandmother, shouldn’t she have sent her to the hospital right away? Why was she instead bent on settling scores?

Couldn’t the accusations wait until after Granny’s treatment? What if the suitable time for treatment was missed? Who would take the responsibility?

Most rural people are simple and straightforward, with no hidden agenda. Once they realised the truth, they voiced their thoughts simultaneously and their looks of sympathy towards Huo Jinlan transformed into accusations.

“I think the real person who wishes to harm Granny Huo is you.” Spotting Huo Jinlan trying to interrupt, Nan Fei quickly responded.

“You’re just spouting nonsense! She’s my grandmother; you can’t accuse me of such things. Compared to a woman like you who has been rejected by our family, I am definitely superior.” Huo Jinlan retaliated defensively.

How she cursed within her heart! She had been waiting for almost half a month to find a suitable opportunity when her parents were away, but her plan was instantly foiled by Jiang Nanfei.

“You are nothing more than an adopted child in the Huo household. You know that well so stop pretending to be something you’re not.” She had previously held back, not wanting to expose the Huo’s family secrets. But if Huo Beijiang was willing to reveal it himself, there was no need for her to be forgiving any more.
