A woman from the same village as Granny Cui couldn’t stand it any longer and said, "Old Cui Family, your granddaughter seems really sick, she seems to be in pain. How can you, as her grandmother, not rush to send her to the hospital and keep scolding and beating her? Are you even her real grandmother? Even a step-grandmother wouldn’t be so heartless."

Granny Cui, hands on her hips, glared at the busybody, cursing, "What’s it got to do with you? What’s wrong with me scolding and beating my granddaughter? I’m not scolding and beating your family’s granddaughter. A dog catching rats, minding others’ business. You can’t even manage your own household affairs properly and still want to interfere in mine. Hah, if you want to take care of my family’s matters, you’ll have to see if I let you."

The woman, angered, retorted furiously, "You heartless old witch, why are you acting like a mad dog, biting whoever you see? I was just concerned about your granddaughter out of goodwill, and that’s my mistake? Alright, alright, I’ll stop sticking my nose into others’ business. Just watch your granddaughter die then. I won’t say another word, and if I do, I’ll slap myself."

The woman stormed off in a huff, preferring not to see.

Cui Xiaohong was in excruciating pain, sweating profusely, screaming from the depths of her soul, rolling on the ground, attracting many shoppers to watch the spectacle.

Everyone criticized Granny Cui for her cruelty and maliciousness.

Granny Cui spat and cursed, "Bah, a dead girl still wants me to spend money to send her to the hospital. If she wants to die, she should do it far away, lest she wastes my money. My money is reserved for my grandsons, and a dead girl shouldn’t expect a penny from me."

Granny Cui hoisted a big half-bag of sweet potatoes, cursed, and walked away.

She really left.

Not caring the least bit about her granddaughter’s life or death.

Cui Xiaohong stared at her increasingly distant back with intense hatred in her eyes, "Grandmother, don’t... don’t leave me, save me, grandmother... grandmother..."

Just when Cui Xiaohong thought she might die from the pain, suddenly, the pain disappeared.

As if it had never happened.

All of a sudden, there was no pain.

Cui Xiaohong sat blankly on the ground, touched her head which no longer hurt, her eyes full of disbelief, "System, are you still there?"

"System, speak up, are you there?"

"System, what’s wrong with you?"

"System, talk to me."

"Please say something."

Cui Xiaohong screamed crazily in her heart for the system, but she nearly broke down and didn’t hear a single response from the system.

Cui Xiaohong’s face was completely colorless, "How could this happen, how could this happen, the system is gone, my system is gone."

The nosy woman from before came back to see the commotion.

She didn’t see Granny Cui, but saw Cui Xiaohong sitting alone on the ground muttering to herself, like a madwoman, her expression odd, "Cui Family’s little girl, what are you muttering to yourself about, you... you haven’t gone crazy, have you?"

"You’re the crazy one, your whole family’s crazy, you lunatic, get out, get out..." Cui Xiaohong shouted at the edge of complete breakdown.

Frightened, the woman backed up several steps, patted her chest and said, "Oh my, this Cui Family’s little girl is really crazy, crazy, crazy, my goodness, such a good little girl driven mad by Granny Cui, how terrible, really a black-hearted grandmother."

The woman hurriedly carried her basket, with a bag of goods in her hand, eager to go back and spread the gossip.

Within a day, news of Second Cui’s daughter driven crazy by Granny Cui spread throughout the Shunfeng Team.
