CHAPTER 473: CHAPTER 473 SO PAINFUL, SO PAINFUL... YOU BAD WOMAN

Grandma Li pushed Liu Shufen away and held Jia Ming tightly in her arms. "Shufen, out of consideration for the relationship we used to have, we won’t hold anything against you. Jia Ming is your son, but he’s also my precious grandson. You’re not allowed to talk to him like that!"

Liu Shufen sneered, her lips curling mockingly. "Are you not ashamed to say such things? Precious grandson? Your grandson was ruined like this, and you didn’t even dare to show the slightest resistance. Instead, you treated those who hurt him like they were gods, worshiping them with good food and drink. I’m truly impressed with you. My son’s life is finished. After you two pass away, who will take care of him? Won’t it still fall to me, his mother?"

"You, you!" Grandma Li trembled with anger, unable to speak.

Ji Wei suddenly stepped forward, standing protectively in front of Grandma Li. "I’ll take care of Jia Ming! I’ll take care of him for his entire life if I have to. So shut your mouth!"

"You’ll take care of him?" Liu Shufen scoffed disdainfully. "Everyone knows how to play the good person. You and your cursed mother are cut from the same cloth—just hit the road and disappear without a trace! We won’t fall for your tricks!"

Ji Wei’s expression turned icy in an instant. She grabbed Liu Shufen by the collar and coldly warned, "If you have something to say, direct it at me. Say one more word against my mother, and you won’t get away with it!"

Liu Shufen was momentarily intimidated by her aura but forced herself to stay composed. "Your mother brought disaster to this family, and now I can’t even talk about it? From the beginning, I knew she was no ordinary person—a woman looking like a seductress suddenly appearing in this little village, bringing along a girl child. The whole situation reeked of trouble!"

Later, some well-dressed man showed up, constantly entangling himself with her. People say the two of them hooked up multiple times out in the fields—you know what we call women like that, a shameless tramp—"

Slap!

Ji Wei swung her hand hard and slapped Liu Shufen across the face.

"Say one more word, and I’ll make sure you’re picking your teeth off the ground!" Ji Wei’s voice rang out sharply, her eyes blazing with fury.

If it weren’t for keeping in mind that this woman was Jia Ming’s mother, how could she have tolerated such brazen antics?

Liu Shufen clutched her now swollen cheek, her eyes bulging in rage.

She bit down on her lip furiously but didn’t dare utter another word.

Jia Ming, watching the explosive scene unfold, suddenly reached out and tugged on Ji Wei’s sleeve, "Little sister Wei, don’t be mad. I’ll take you to the store to buy lollipops!"

Ji Wei looked at Jia Ming—his face that of an adult, yet displaying a childlike innocence and dim-witted cheerfulness.

She suddenly felt a dull ache in her chest, her eyes reddening.

Liu Shufen saw her son being closer to Ji Wei than to her, his own mother, and was so infuriated she trembled all over. She grabbed Jia Ming’s ear and scolded, "You ungrateful fool! She’s your enemy—why are you treating her so well!"

"Ow, ow... You’re a bad woman!" Jia Ming clutched his ear and yelled in pain.

"Let go of Jia Ming!"

Grandma Li hurried over and wrestled Jia Ming away from Liu Shufen’s grip, cradling him while soothing, "Jia Ming, sweetheart, it doesn’t hurt, Grandma will blow on it for you."

Ji Wei suddenly turned and walked into the inner room, leaving everyone surprised. In no time, she emerged holding a golden card.

She shot a cold glance at Liu Shufen, her tone indifferent, "Isn’t money all you want? Take it."

She stretched the golden card out toward Liu Shufen.

Liu Shufen was utterly shocked, so much so that she could hardly believe her eyes.

After divorcing Li Dajun, she remarried Big Black from the neighboring village. Upon hearing that Wanfei’s daughter had returned, she had rushed over with a group of people to stir up trouble, but the truth was she came seeking money.

Now, seeing Ji Wei actually holding out the card, she couldn’t be more thrilled internally.

As Liu Shufen reached out to grab it, her fingers barely brushed the golden card when Ji Wei suddenly released her grip, letting the card drop straight to the ground.
