Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1334

Seeing her shock, An Xuyuan added, "Doctor Xie already checked your mother's condition and said that she only has a few days left. So he told them to start making funeral preparations."

The moment she heard this, Shi Qiwan's eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "Vice Team Leader, I was on the mountain foothills gathering firewood before dawn. How could I have visited Mother?"

"You say you were gathering firewood. Who can be your witness, or what proof do you have to back your statement?" Shi Erlang asked.

Hearing his words, the Shi family members looked at Shi Qiwan with contempt flashing in their eyes. They were sure they would be able to pin the blame for Mother Shi's death on her.

The production staff members also looked at her, waiting for her explanation. After a moment of silence, instead of Shi Qiwan, it was An Xuyuan who spoke.

"Comrade, you said that your sister attempted to kill your mother. What evidence do you have to support your claim?" he asked.

"Vice Team Leader, we all saw it. Shi Qiwan demanded compensation money and cursed our mother for being heartless and cruel. This angered our mother so much that she fainted. After that, she was still unsatisfied and beat our mother until she was at the brink of death!" Shi Dalang replied.

Noticing his agitation, An Xuyuan smiled and said, "Comrade Shi, all of you are family. Your statements cannot be used as proof. You need more solid evidence of Comrade Shi Qiwan's crime."

Shi Dalang looked at his family and noticed they were also at a loss. Where would they find the evidence?

All of these accusations were based on their plot to put the blame on Shi Qiwan so they wouldn't have to pay any compensation. At the same time, they could demand money from her to cover their mother's funeral expenses.

On one hand, they would be able to show how magnanimous they were for not blaming her for killing their mother. On the other hand, they could profit from the situation.

So, after agreeing on the accusation and planning what to say, they went to the production team's office without even consulting their father.

As for the real reason behind their mother unconscious it was because she had only been given water and had been abused by her daughters-in-law. Even a healthy person would fall sick from constant beatings and starving, let alone someone already half a step toward the coffin.

When they realized that Mother Shi wouldn't last much longer, they decided to use her life to sue Shi Qiwan. Even if she died, their mother should contribute something to the family, right?

They had a grand plan, but right now, they were stumped by An Xuyuan's questions.

Seeing them looking at each other, An Xuyuan said, "Comrade Shi, accusing someone of attempted murder is not a small matter. If you can't provide solid evidence, you will be taken away by the police. After all, slander and false accusations are crimes."

As soon as they heard this, the Shi family members turned pale. They had never considered the consequences of their actions because they were sure Shi Qiwan wouldn't be able to argue or defend herself.

Who would have expected the Vice Team Leader to stand up for her instead?
