Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madam Fang turned around and asked angrily, “What are you doing?”
“Since I’m no longer staying at your house, it’s time to return the two hundred copper coins to me.”
Madam Fang was unhappy. “Return them? You’re the one who caused trouble for our family. Those two hundred copper coins aren’t even enough to compensate us.”
Chen Liang really didn’t know that Madam Fang was such an unreasonable person before today. His face darkened. “Give them back. You were the one who didn’t keep your promise first. You should return the money to her.”
Madam Fang wanted to say something, but Chen Yulan tugged at her clothes. She could only say indignantly, “Fine, I’ll return them. However, their family has been living here for a few days. It’s impossible to return all 200 copper coins. At most, it’s 100 copper coins.”
Gu Yundong smiled and said, “Since you want to calculate it this way, let’s calculate it clearly. 200 copper coins is a month’s rent. It’s less than seven copper coins a day. We’ve lived for six days, which is 40 copper coins. Return 160 copper coins. Actually, according to the normal contract, you broke the contract and refused to let us stay because of unknown dangers in the future. You should compensate us at least twice the amount. But for the sake of the village chief, forget it. I don’t want to tangle with you anymore. Pay up.” Madam Fang’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about? You want us to compensate you? That’s impossible. At most, it’s a hundred copper coins. That’s all I have.”
Gu Yundong smiled in a very friendly manner. “Aunt Fang, did you not see the scene of Hu Liang’s four families compensating me just now?” It was really a confusing thing. “Do you want me to help you recall?”
“You, you, what’s the difference between you and those hooligans?” Madam Fang recalled Hu Liang’s face that had been beaten into a pig’s head. She immediately felt a little afraid. She could not help but hide behind Chen Liang. “Uncle, look at what she’s saying. She’s threatening me. I’m the daughter-in-law of the Chen family. She’s too much.”
Madam Zhou sneered. “The daughter-in-law of the Chen family can’t be unreasonable. Wouldn’t nothing happen if Sister-in-law returns the money to her?”
“Sister-in-law, you make it sound so easy. You’re not the one paying for it.” Gu Yundong was impatient. “Are you going to give it to me or not?” She held a stick as thick as a finger in her hand. Nobody knew where it came from, but with a light snap, the sound of it was especially crisp and horrifying in the central room.
Madam Fang’s body trembled violently. She was not a bold person after all. She hurriedly nodded. “1’11 give them to you.”
“Then let’s go.” Why were these people so despicable? If she didn’t teach them a lesson, they would insist on struggling.
Madam Fang looked at Chen Liang again. Chen Liang silently turned his head. Madam Fang could only dawdle out of the central room.
When they returned home, Madam Fang asked Gu Yundong to move out quickly.
Gu Yundong did not have many things. There were only two baskets and a big bag. She put the rest of the things in her spatial storage and tidied them up. Madam Dong followed over and helped carry a basket.
When Gu Yundong and the others were about to leave, Madam Fang reluctantly took out 160 copper coins and handed them to her. “Here, don’t say that I took advantage of you. How unlucky. Hurry up and leave.”
Gu Yundong took the money and turned to Madam Dong. “Auntie, take these 160 copper coins and buy some vegetables and meat. We’ll cook a good meal tonight and treat it as a celebration.”
Madam Dong originally thought that she was going to pay the rent. She did not want to accept it. When she heard that it was to buy groceries and meat, she hurriedly said, “Alright, 1’11 buy it.”
Madam Fang was speechless and furious..
