Although itâs not a complicated problem, Xiaoqian has become the last resort for Auntieâs family in the absence of successful domestic cases.
âIf more reports occur in the future, Iâll take full responsibility.â Uncle glares at Aunt, who knows she has nowhere else to turn, but still doesnât want to bow down easily to Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian doesnât show any sympathy to Aunt and is resolute on this issue.
Aunt must cede territory, pay compensation, and ensure she never causes trouble again. There is no room for compromise with such people, as they will take advantage of any kindness. They bully the weak and fear the strong.
âWhat a good daughter-in-law youâve brought in! What a good son youâve raised!â Aunt canât do anything to Xiao Qian, so she vents her anger on Mother Yu, but this time, Mother Yu shows a tough attitude like Xiao Qian.
âWhat did my daughter-in-law do wrong? What did my son do wrong? Li Zhenâs leg injury wasnât our fault, and itâs Xiao Qianâs benevolence to treat him. If she doesnât want to, thatâs her right. You yell at me, if you can live with that, do so. If not, then get out!â
It seems like it happened in an instant. Aunt has gone from being the family favorite to a lowly person, and she canât bear this huge change.
Chen Xiaoqian has a special skill and also holds the key to make her son stand again, so itâs no surprise that she is somewhat assertive.
But why would Eldest Sister-in-law, who had always been good-tempered, treat her this way?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWei Guo and I have reflected on ourselves. We bear responsibility for your current situation. The elder brother is like a father, the elder sister-in-law is like a mother. If your uncle eventually abandons you, we will send you back to the countryside to accompany your parents in farming and raising chickens. Through labor, you will be re-educated, and Wei Guo will call our parents about that. They also agreed with our approach.â
âOur parents already know?!â Aunt didnât expect things to get this serious.
âOur dad nearly had a heart attack because of you! He is very regretful for not disciplining you back then. Now, the only way out for you is to truly reflect on your actions. Otherwise, not even the gods can help you. Havenât you come to your senses yet?â
Aunt initially thought it was a trivial matter, but she didnât know why it had escalated into such an uncontrollable situation. Chen Xiaoqian, an unassuming girl, managed to shock so many people and even made her parents aware!
âLet me be clearer. Li Zhenâs condition mostly results from your actions. He shouldnât have had these psychological issues. Itâs because you have persistently been blindly wrong, and under the banner of his well-being, you have forced him into situations his conscience canât bear. Thatâs why Li Zhen is like this. If you donât truly repent, he wonât get better.â
Xiao Qianâs words cause Aunt a great shock.
âYouâre talking nonsense. I care so much about my son, Iâve tried my best for him since he was little; how can he not understand meâ¦â
âIt seems youâre not completely selfish. There are people you care about in the world, but you hurt them with your self-righteous methods. Li Zhen canât forgive what youâve done. Otherwise, why would he want to see me as soon as he wakes up?â
Such parents are not rare. They always say they are doing things for the good of their children, but the children themselves resist these actions.
âNo, noâ¦â
Auntâs weak rebuttal is unconvincing, and at this moment, Uncleâs phone rings.
âWhat? His condition is worsening?â
As soon as Aunt hears this, she becomes anxious and wants to take the phone, but Uncle pushes her away forcefully.
âGet out! This family doesnât need someone like you! Look at yourself â what have you driven your son to become?â
Unclesâ eyes are red, while Auntâs face turns pale from hearing that her son has worsened, she covers her mouth and starts to cry.
âUsually other family members are affected to varying degrees when someone is psychologically unwell. Your actions have continuously impacted your child. Parents are a childâs best teachers but can also be the worst.â
Xiao Qian stands up and walks over to the sobbing Aunt, âDo you think my demand to treat your son is out of spite, or pettiness?â
âIsnât it?â Aunt doesnât even know what sheâs saying now; her mind is filled with thoughts of her son.
âI admit, my personal grudge plays a part, but I am a psychologist with professional ethics. I wouldnât forego a money-making opportunity due to personal grievances between you and me. After all, money is innocent.â
âHow much do you want? Iâll give you whatever you want!â Aunt asks Xiao Qian.
âOf course, I want the money. Now you are just an ordinary patientâs relatives in my eyes. But you must deeply recognize your mistakes because the premise of your sonâs recovery is based on your repentance. If you donât change, your son might never stand again. Donât believe me? Investigate for yourself.â
Xiao Qianâs words are not entirely meant to scare Aunt.
If Aunt continues like this, it will be difficult for Li Zhen to recover by the slightest chance.
Aunt, the psychological giant infant, is not entirely hopeless. Besides loving herself, she also loves her son. Under the urge of her motherly instincts, the anxious Aunt finally kneels in Xiao Qianâs direction.
Xiao Qian immediately dodges behind Mother Yu, refusing to accept such formalism.
âPlease, save my son. Even if itâs all my fault, he is innocent. Please help him. You can let me die in front of you or use my life to pay for my mistakes. Iâm willing!â
She starts sobbing loudly.
When she cries, both Mother Yu and Eldest Sister-in-law feel uneasy, apart from Xiao Qian.
Mother Yu goes over to help her up. âLook at you, you can talk things out. Whatâs the point of kneeling?â
âIf she doesnât agree, I wonât get up.â Aunt is really scared now.
âStand up, and then we can talk about what happens next.â Xiao Qian thinks itâs time to wind things down.
As she hears this, Aunt immediately stands up and looks at Xiao Qian with teary eyes.
âI have two conditions for treating him. First, you canât tell anyone that I treated him. When Li Zhen can stand again, this secret will remain buried. I can make him stand or hypnotize him to be paralyzed. Donât mess with psychologists, understand?â
In reality, this is simply scare tactics with no scientific basis, but itâs very effective on Aunt. She nods her head vigorously, agreeing, and just wants her son to recover quickly.
âSecond, Iâll treat him in several sessions. Each hourâs price is 20,000 yuan. Youâll settle the bill with your petty cash, and you are not allowed to use Uncleâs financial income.â
âHow much?!â
