Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Compensate Money
“Su Yunjin, you cheap wretch, with a black heart and a rotten nature, today in the presence of so many people, you hit your mother here, you’ve swollen my face and injured my waist. I’m telling you, today if you and your Gu Family don’t give me an explanation, then this matter is far from over!”
Mrs. Feng was cursing like a shrew!
During the day, Mrs. Feng had suffered a loss at Su Yunjin’s hands, and now with her man backing her up, she had become even more arrogant, arriving with a raging momentum, looking as if she wanted to devour Su Yunjin.
Who did Su Yunjin think it was?
Upon hearing the clamor, Su Yunjin immediately recognized that the person was Mrs. Feng from earlier that day.
It seemed that Mrs. Feng had brought her man with her to find fault.
Mrs. An, unaware of the situation, couldn’t believe Su Yunjin had really hit Niu Dahu’s wife, Mrs. Feng, “Dahu, Dahu’s wife, how could my third daughter-in-law be capable of hitting someone? Could there be some misunderstanding?”
Niu Dahu spat another thick wad of phlegm onto the ground, saliva flying everywhere, “Pah? Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? This matter today was witnessed by quite a few villagers, what misunderstanding?”
“Husband, look quick, that woman surnamed Su is coming over,” Mrs. Feng said sharply, spotting Su Yunjin walking over from the courtyard.
Upon seeing Su Yunjin, Niu Dahu rudely called out, “Woman surnamed Su, you’ve come at the right time. Now, you tell us, did you hit my wife this afternoon or not?”
Fearing that Su Yunjin would deny it, Mrs. Feng added a threat, “Today when you hit me, many people in our village saw it. Woman surnamed Su, you’d better tell the truth; don’t think about denying it!”
“Deny? What do I have to deny?” Regarding the matter of hitting Mrs. Feng, Su Yunjin hadn’t thought of covering it up, much less denying it.
Mrs. An looked at Su Yunjin in disbelief, “Third daughter-in-law, did you really hit Mrs. Feng?”
“Mother, indeed, I laid hands on her!” Su Yunjin had hit Mrs. Feng, but that was because Mrs. Feng deserved it. If it weren’t for Mrs. Feng’s babbling and nasty words, she wouldn’t have lifted a hand to slap her.
Seizing on Su Yunjin’s words, Mrs. Feng immediately turned to Mrs. An with a taunt: “Auntie, listen, listen, your daughter-in-law has admitted herself that she laid hands on me, so now surely you can’t still think this is some misunderstanding?”
“This—!” Mrs. An was at a loss for words. Initially, she had not believed that Su Yunjin would hit Mrs. Feng, but now that Su Yunjin had admitted it herself, Mrs. An had nothing more to say.
Niu Dahu snorted coldly, “Your daughter-in-law hit my woman, auntie. Now, tell me! How are you planning to handle this?”
“This face, this waist, were both injured by your daughter-in-law,” Mrs. Feng cried, claiming her face was swollen and waist was in pain, deliberately making it seem as if Su Yunjin had beaten her severely.
Mrs. An helplessly said, “Dahu’s wife, it’s wrong that Yunjin hit you. So, how about this? I will make Yunjin apologize to you right away.”
“Just apologize? You think that will settle this matter?” Mrs. Feng and Niu Dahu looked at Mrs. An as if she had told a very funny joke.
Mrs. An said, “Dahu’s wife, then what do you want to do?”
“What to do? Hmph, what else can we do? If you want this matter to be settled, then pay up!” Mrs. Feng snorted coldly.
Niu Dahu also added, “That’s right, pay up! Without compensation, don’t even think about settling this matter!”
Today, Mrs. Feng and Niu Dahu, as husband and wife, were mainly out to get the Gu Family to pay up; if they couldn’t extort ten or eight taels from the Su Family, they would not let the matter drop!
