Now that Serenity and Liberty were capable enough to come back to reclaim their parents’ property, Mrs. Deli fully supported them.
“Yeah, it was you who said that they don’t need you to support you while you’re alive or handle your funerals when you pass. You didn’t raise them in the first place, so how could you be so shameless as to ask them for money? Your sons and grandsons benefitted so much. Why don’t you ask them for money instead?
“Your whole family made a fortune from taking advantage of their misfortune, yet you’re bullying the orphaned girls. Your family has gone too far, so you should be struck by lightning instead. You’re old now. How many more years can you live? You’re not even afraid of going to the depths of hell after death, never to be reborn.”
Even though the people in town opined that married daughters should not return home to fight for their family property, they felt that Old Mrs. Hunt and her people were too much. They could not help but intervene.
“They’re all shameless people, to begin with. All of them are rich, live in big villas, and drive luxurious cars. John even has an annual salary of a million dollars. When Old Mrs. Hunt was sick, none of them paid for the expenses and wanted Liberty and her sister to pay instead.
“They only reap the benefits and let the sisters bear responsibility when something is wrong. Do they take the sisters as fools?”
Everyone in the Hunts’ hometown knew about the scandal as a result of the trending topic last year.
Many of them learned to surf the internet to support Serenity and her sister online. They exposed the cruelness and shamelessness of Old Mrs. Hunt and her family!
Later, after learning that John and the others lost their jobs due to the backfire of the trending topic, the people in town felt that it was karma.
“Busybodies!”
Liberty said loudly, “The townspeople aren’t being busybodies. They’re righteous and are telling the truth!”
