It was because her grandson had such a mother that Old Lady Mo hated her even more. How dare she tarnish her precious grandson with slander! She was fed up with life, fumed Old Lady Mo as she once again reached out to slap Madam Ruan several times.
Mo Xiuzhi, crying, threw herself onto Madam Ruan, desperately protecting her while crying out, "Grandmother, grandmother, please, please don't hit my mother anymore."
Old Lady Mo, who was used to being domineering, had no intention of listening to Mo Xiuzhi; she only stopped when she grew tired of hitting.
Madam Ruan lay on the ground, her face covered in blood.
Mo Xiuzhi knelt beside her, crying out desperately, calling her, "Mother, mother, please wake up, don't scare me."
Madam Xie, unable to bear the sight, said to Xuexue, "Xuexue, hurry and go fetch a doctor for your aunt to see."
