Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Forcing Him to Die?
"You... you’re just twisting my words!"
Miao Suiping, of course, wouldn’t admit it. She was surprised to find that what Shen Nian said actually made a bit of sense.
But even if it did make sense, she refused to admit that Shen Nian was right!
"I think Xiao Nian is right. Setting everything else aside, Dad’s condition can’t get any worse. It’s a long shot, but we should at least try!"
The first person in the Miao Family to support Shen Nian after she spoke was her Fourth Uncle, Miao Changquan, the same one who had defended her family earlier.
Of course, Miao Changquan had wanted his father to continue receiving treatment at the hospital. But he had neither money nor influence and couldn’t win an argument against his sister-in-law, so he could only watch helplessly as his father was sent home.
Now, his niece was saying there was something she could try. Faced with the choice between watching his father die and letting his niece try, he was, of course, willing to let her try.
"Fourth Uncle, how can you side with an outsider!"
"Fourth Brother, it’s one thing for that girl Shen Nian to cause trouble, but how can you join in on this nonsense!"
Miao Suiping and Guo Chunxiang immediately turned on Miao Changquan for ruining their plans.
"I think Fourth Brother is right. I’m willing to let Xiao Nian try, too!"
The one who spoke this time was Tian Yilan. Her expression had softened, and at least she had stopped crying.
She hadn’t wanted Miao Cuifen’s family to take her husband back to the hospital because she didn’t want to place such a huge burden on her daughter and son-in-law.
Now, her granddaughter, who had studied medicine, wanted to try. Why should she refuse? Her husband was lying on the bed, silent and still. ’It can’t possibly get any worse than this!’
"Mom!"
Guo Chunxiang hadn’t expected Tian Yilan to stand up for Shen Nian. She was sure she had already convinced the old woman!
When it came to the matter of Shen Nian treating the old man, Tian Yilan was the one in the family with the ultimate say. After all, she and Miao Dagui were husband and wife.
Even if all the sons and daughters-in-law objected, as long as Tian Yilan gave her support, that was all that mattered.
"Then it’s settled. Xiao Nian, do whatever you need to do. Don’t hold back!"
"Thank you for trusting me, Grandma. I won’t let you down!"
"Mom, I think you’ve gone senile! How can you go along with this damn girl’s nonsense!"
"Grandma, Shen Nian is just trying to kill Grandpa! You can’t agree to this!"
"Enough! Both of you, shut your mouths!"
Guo Chunxiang and Miao Suiping were ganging up on Tian Yilan, their tones completely devoid of respect.
However, the person who spoke up to stop Guo Chunxiang and Miao Suiping surprised Shen Nian and the others.
It was Miao Changfu, Shen Nian’s first uncle—the same Miao Changfu who had always been so weak and useless.
It wasn’t just Shen Nian’s group who was surprised; Guo Chunxiang’s eyes went wide as she stared at Miao Changfu.
"Changfu, you... you actually yelled at me!"
Guo Chunxiang couldn’t believe it. The same Miao Changfu she had kept firmly under her thumb was actually speaking to her like this.
"What more trouble are you trying to stir up?! Are you trying to drive my dad to his death?"
Miao Changfu was a man, and he had his dignity! For so many years, he had been completely suppressed by Guo Chunxiang. Even his own daughter, Miao Suiping, showed him no courtesy.
Every person has a limit, and today, for the first time, they had pushed Miao Changfu past his.
"You..."
Guo Chunxiang’s glare at Miao Changfu didn’t soften in the slightest. She couldn’t believe he had suddenly found a backbone. However, she didn’t dare refute what he had just said. After all, no one wanted to bear the blame for driving their father-in-law to his death.
Miao Suiping, on the other hand, was staring daggers at Shen Nian. ’She’d never believe Shen Nian actually had that kind of ability! Fine, let her try. When she fails, I’d like to see how Shen Nian can possibly face this family again!’
’At that point, if Shen Nian fails, she’ll be the one who killed her own grandfather!’
