Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 512: Chapter 486: Fleece the Fat Sheep

Although it’s not a complex issue, currently without any successful domestic cases, Qian has become the last hope for her aunt’s entire family.

”If there are any further reports, I will take full responsibility.” Uncle glared at Aunt, and Aunt knew she had reached a dead end, but was reluctant to yield to Qian too easily.

Qian gave Aunt no leeway, putting all sympathy aside, she maintained a firm stance on this issue.

Aunt must cede territory and compensate, and promise never to cause trouble again. There’s no need to compromise with such people, if you give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. Bullies have the same face; they prey on the kind and fear the strong.

”You’ve got a good daughter-in-law! You’ve raised a good son!” Aunt could do nothing to Qian and could only vent her frustration on Mrs. Yu, but was surprised to find that Mrs. Yu had also lost her usual good temper and maintained a firm stance similar to Qian’s.

”What did my daughter-in-law do wrong? What did my son do wrong? Li Zhen’s leg wasn’t harmed by us. Our family Qian is willing to treat him because of her benevolence and skill. If she’s unwilling, that’s her rightful choice. Why are you yelling at me? You can stay if you want, if not, you can leave!”

It seemed like a moment’s matter, suddenly from being spoiled to a lower status, Aunt couldn’t withstand this huge change internally.

Chen Xiaoqian has a skill to rely on and holds the critical method of getting her son to stand. It’s fair that she’s a bit assertive.

Why is even the always kind sister-in-law acting this way towards her?

”Wei Guo and I have reflected; we bear undeniable responsibility for your current situation. An elder brother is like a father, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. If your uncle truly abandons you in the future, we will send you back to the countryside to accompany the elderly, growing vegetables and raising chickens, receiving re-education through labor. Wei Guo has also called Mom and Dad, and they agree with our approach.”

”Even Mom and Dad know?!” Aunt didn’t expect the problem to have become so serious.

”You almost gave Dad a heart attack with your anger! He’s very regretful for not guiding you strictly back then. Your only way out now is to genuinely repent for your actions, otherwise, even the gods can’t help you. Have you not realized this yet?”

Aunt originally thought it was just a small matter but doesn’t understand how it developed into such an uncontrollable situation. Chen Xiaoqian, an inconspicuous girl, can somehow stir so many people, even alerting parents!

”Let me make it clearer: Li Zhen’s situation is mostly caused by you. He shouldn’t have had such psychological issues. But having a mother like you, who persistently errs under the guise of acting in his best interest, doing things that weigh on his conscience, is why Li Zhen is like this. If you don’t genuinely repent, he won’t get better.”

Qian’s words were a huge shock to Aunt.

”You’re talking nonsense, I care so much for my son, I’ve tried my best for him since he was little, how could he not understand me...”

”It seems you are not entirely selfish; there are people you care about in this world. But using your self-righteous ways, you’ve hurt those you care about. Li Zhen cannot forgive your actions, otherwise, why would he want to see me immediately upon waking?”

There are many such parents, always claiming to act for their children’s benefit, doing this and that, but the children themselves resist it.

”No, no...”

Aunt’s weak rebuttal lacked conviction, just as Uncle’s phone rang.

”What? The condition has worsened?”

Upon hearing this, Aunt immediately became nervous and wanted to take the call, but was forcefully pushed away by Uncle.

”Get out! We don’t need someone like you in this house! Look at what you’ve driven your son to become!”

Uncle’s eyes were already red, while Aunt turned pale in fright upon hearing that her son’s condition had worsened, covering her mouth as she cried.

”Normally, when a household has one psychologically unhealthy person, other members of the family are impacted to varying degrees; your actions have continuously affected your child. Parents are the best teachers for their children, but can also be the worst.”

Qian stood up, walking to the crying Aunt, ”Do you think I ask you to plead with me out of grudges or pettiness?”

”Isn’t it?” Aunt wasn’t sure what she said herself, her mind was filled with thoughts of her son.

”I admit, my personal grudges play a part, but I’m a psychologist with professional ethics. I wouldn’t give up a chance to earn money because of our personal vendetta; after all, money is innocent.”

”How much do you want, however much is fine!” Aunt asked Qian.

”I certainly want the money. Now, to me, you’re just an ordinary patient’s family member, but you must deeply recognize your mistakes. The premise for your son’s illness to improve is based on your repentance. If you remain stubbornly unrepentant, your son might never stand again. Don’t believe me? Investigate.”

What Qian said wasn’t entirely to scare Aunt.

If Aunt continues like this, Li Zhen’s recovery would be difficult.

Aunt, although a psychological overgrown baby, was not entirely irredeemable. Besides loving herself, she loved her son. Driven by maternal love for her son, the anxious Aunt finally fell to her knees in front of Qian.

Qian immediately sidestepped, hiding behind Mrs. Yu; she couldn’t accept this gesture.

”I beg you, save my son. Even if I am wrong, he is innocent. I beg you, save him, even if you want me dead in front of you, want me to repay with my life for my mistakes, I am willing!”

She was already crying aloud.

As she cried, apart from Qian, the other two felt uneasy.

Mrs. Yu went to support her, ”Look at you, speak properly. Why are you kneeling?”

”She won’t agree until I do.” Aunt now was really afraid.

”Stand up, and I’ll discuss the follow-up matters with you.” Qian felt the timing was right and decided she could relent.

Upon hearing this, Aunt immediately stood up, tearfully looking at Qian.

”I have two conditions for helping: first, you can’t tell anyone that I treated him; once Li Zhen can stand, this secret must remain buried. I can make him stand or hypnotize him into being paralyzed, never provoke a psychologist, understand?”

Honestly, this was just scare tactics, entirely unscientific, but it worked well on Aunt. She nodded vigorously, desperate for her son to recover quickly.

”Second, I will conduct treatments in several sessions; the price is twenty thousand per hour, settled from your personal savings, not allowed from Uncle’s earnings.”

”How much?!”
