Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Shen Nian Unleashes Her Power
"Brother, can’t you do something about your wife? Our father is still lying in bed, and you’re the eldest son! Are you really going to let her turn this family upside down?"
Miao Changquan ignored Guo Chunxiang completely, turning to face Miao Changgui.
’If only his brother were even a little bit useful, their family wouldn’t be in such a toxic mess.’
"What are you talking about! Who’s turning this family upside down? You’d better watch your mouth! A grown man your age, still living off our parents—have you no shame?!"
"You..."
"So what? Why is it that all of you can do whatever you want, but nobody’s allowed to say a word about it? Tsk, tsk. How did I ever end up marrying into this family!"
"Enough!"
Shen Nian couldn’t listen to another word. ’So this is my mother’s family! These are the true colors of my relatives!’
’The eldest uncle is a spineless coward you can’t rely on for anything. His wife is a complete shrew who isn’t happy unless she’s stirring up trouble.’
’The second uncle’s family might not be as much of a disaster, but with all this chaos, they just stand there watching the show without saying a word. They’re not much better than the eldest’s family!’
’Only her fourth uncle was willing to speak up and take charge when his father fell ill. And what did he get for it? This kind of baseless verbal abuse.’
As a member of the younger generation, Shen Nian knew she shouldn’t be losing her temper with her elders. But under these circumstances, she simply couldn’t hold back any longer.
"All of you here are my elders, Grandfather’s own family! At a time like this, is anything more important than his condition?"
"You little brat! This is no place for you to speak!"
"Eldest Aunt, Fourth Uncle is right. You’re the one who’s turned this house upside down!"
"You... Changfu, look at your niece! What is she saying?!"
"Eldest Aunt, don’t bother shouting for him. I have something to say to my eldest uncle, too. Eldest Uncle, Grandfather may have been a farmer, but he was an honorable and upright man his entire life. Your cowardice makes you unworthy of being his son!"
After she finished with Miao Changfu, Shen Nian turned her gaze to Miao Changshuang and his family, who were still enjoying the show.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you’ve been watching this spectacle for long enough. Outside, you can pretend it’s none of your business, but in here, you’re part of this family. You’re Grandfather’s son and daughter-in-law. Are you really just going to stand by and watch him die?"
"Fourth Uncle, you’ve done well. I think Grandfather would be very proud of you."
Her fourth uncle had been a quiet man for years, frequently bullied by Miao Changfu and his wife. Today, he had finally managed to stand up to Guo Chunxiang.
Finally, Shen Nian turned to look at Tian Yilan.
"Grandmother, out of everyone here, you’re the one who can’t bear to lose Grandfather the most. Don’t worry. I won’t let him leave you. I won’t let him leave any of us!"
"Xiao Nian..."
Tian Yilan’s eyes were red as she looked at Shen Nian through her tears.
"Xiao Nian, what are you...?"
Miao Cuifen, who had been watching her daughter closely, caught the unusual tone in Shen Nian’s last words.
"Dad, Mom, Grandmother... of course we have to save Grandfather. But we don’t need to go to the hospital."
"Not go to the hospital?"
"Given Grandfather’s condition, I’m afraid he won’t make it to the provincial capital’s hospital in time. So, let me try!"
Shen Nian had never formally used her medical training to save someone, but she was confident in the skills she now possessed.
Besides, she had made some progress in cultivating her Spiritual Power. With the help of Spiritual Spring Water and her Spiritual Power, even if she couldn’t cure him completely in one go, she could at least greatly alleviate his condition.
"You’ll try?"
