In any event, the moment she claimed she could no longer endure life and expressed a desire to commit suicide, no one in the village dared to provoke her.
Not only did they refrain from offending her, but they also felt compelled to appease and apologize to her, even when it seemed unjust.
Those who had been sworn enemies with her for decades were now afraid, and even her daughter-in-law became more submissive. Exploiting this, Zhu Yueju effortlessly paved the way to an entirely new realm. It was as peculiar as Zhang Chunxiang discovering that selling stolen vegetables could be profitable. Although the entire village was aware of Zhu Yueju’s manipulations, they were powerless to counteract her.
Could anyone feign mental illness? Maintaining a semblance of dignity was still important, and no one was audacious enough to be utterly shameless.
Forced into a corner, conceding was the only option. However, the village had already labelled Zhu Yueju and Zhang Chunxiang as the most shameless individuals. Consequently, no one dared to cross paths with these two families, as association with them could lead to unwarranted consequences.
Zhu Yueju’s daughters-in-law harboured deep resentment towards their mother-in-law. They refused to let their husbands help with Sun Yunyun’s mental illness evaluation. Although no one dared to meddle in such affairs now, the question remained: was it truly beneficial to feign mental illness?
If Zhu Yueju and Sun Yunyun had it, wouldn’t people start suspecting Dahai and Sun Dajiang’s children as well? The notion of hereditary implications would undoubtedly arise. How would the children study and marry in the future? As a result, not only her daughters-in-law but even her sons harboured resentment towards her.
The three sons were discontented with their parents for their blatant favouritism towards their sister. They were willing to forsake their sons and grandchildren for the sake of their daughter. However, Zhu Yueju remained oblivious to these dynamics. Even if she were aware, she would ignore it. She and Old Man Sun had long immersed themselves in the fantasy that Sun Yunyun could attain wealth and good fortune through her dreams.
All their hopes rested on Sun Yunyun.
Zhu Yueju was growing accustomed to pretending to be mentally disturbed. In the end, she almost succeeded. When sedated, she felt regret for not falling into the act.
“She had a severe mental illness.” the head of the psychiatric department coldly observed Zhu Yueju. “Sun Yunyun does suffer from a mental illness; she experienced severe hallucinations in her youth. This distorts her cognitive perceptions, leading to misunderstandings about the seriousness of the world and herself.”
The director of the psychiatric department explained a series of professional terms and concluded, “As a result, Sun Yunvun has no legal or civil responsibilities. Considering the above, she should be exempted from criminal responsibility.”
“Very well, we appreciate your insights. Thank you.”
The psychiatric director handed over the evaluation results and recommendations. Turning towards Zhu Yueju, he added, “Although Sun
Yunyun is delusional, her mental condition is stable, and she can return home. However, this individual, referring to Zhu Yueju, has a severe manic disorder and suicidal tendencies. Admission to the hospital for treatment is necessary.”
“What?”
The crowd was shocked; no one expected that the visit intended for the final assessment of Sun Yunyun would result in Zhu Yueju being apprehended and taken to the mental hospital.
“I… I…” Old Man Sun was left speechless.
Refusing would be a self-inflicted slap. Zhu Yueju had propagated her supposed mental illness everywhere, creating a belief that she was genuinely unstable..
