Chapter 547: Chapter 547 Timely Appearance Chapter 547: Chapter 547 Timely Appearance As soon as Su Xiang’e mentioned it, Su Yunjin roughly had an impression in her head. She seemed to remember that the location of the small medicine shop was right next to a small bridge in town.
There were several medicine shops connected to that spot, with a row of medicine shops facing a small river. During the Lantern Festival, many people would go to the river to release river lanterns, and it was quite lively.
Following her aunt Su Xiang’e towards the town, before they reached the medicine shop, Su Yunjin saw a crowd of people gathered ahead, all of them shouting about compensation.
“Compensate, compensate, Su Muze hit my son, just look at the state he’s in? You must pay up, Su Zhongshi, Mrs. Shen, the both of you better listen up; if you don’t compensate today, you can forget about settling this. It’s no big deal; we’ll see you at the Governor’s Office. Your son hit someone, I’m reporting it and getting your son arrested, lock him up for a year or two and then see if you regret it!”
After the man cursed, a plump woman followed suit, shouting at the top of her lungs, spitting flying everywhere, a complete shrewish display of aggression.
“That’s right, you must pay up, Su Zhongshi, look at what kind of things your family has raised? Raising a son who hits others, and a daughter who’s even more shameless, still daring to seduce men after getting married–spit! Our whole family is ashamed for you, the Su family.” Su Zhongshi and his wife Mrs. Shen both had a soft nature, and facing such a bunch of bullies, how could they have any say? Both were too angry to speak out. And today’s matter couldn’t all be blamed on their son either.
It was also because the villagers’ insults were too ugly. Their son Su Muze was just standing up for his sister, unable to stand others smearing her reputation like that.
Su Xiaobao, small but bold, clenched his fists and shouted out loud with indignation, “Bad people, bad people, you are all bad people, my sister is a good person, you can’t talk about my sister like that, she didn’t seduce any man, she isn’t shameless, saying my sister is shameless, all of you people are the ones who are really shameless.”
The people, infuriated and with nowhere to vent, didn’t care that Su Xiaobao was just a child. Raising their hand, they slapped Su Xiaobao’s face hard.
“Slap–!” A crisp sound echoed in the air, and Su Xiaobao’s little face instantly bore five distinct slap marks.
Mrs. Shen, frightened, quickly shielded her son behind her, her heart aching, “Xiaobao, come here, Xiaobao, let Mom see that you’re okay?”
Su Xiaobao, like a provoked little lion, pushed his mother Mrs. Shen away and rushed forward to viciously bite the woman who had just slapped him. The woman felt pain in her hand and immediately shook off Su Xiaobao, raising her foot aiming for Su Xiaobao’s chest.
“You little bastard, how dare you bite your aunty? Watch how I teach you a lesson your parents failed to,” said the woman, as Su Xiaobao was left stunned.
Su Zhongshi and Mrs. Shen were both slow to react to the sudden turn of events, and it was too late to help Su Xiaobao. Su Ningxiu ran out from inside the house.
Just as the woman was about to kick Su Xiaobao into the river, a strong hand reached out just in time and pulled Su Xiaobao away.
The plump woman missed with her kick.
She almost lost her balance and fell into the river, but managed to steady her feet just in time. She barely stood firm without falling into the river. If that kick had landed, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Seeing Su Xiaobao being pulled to safety, Su Zhongshi and his wife Mrs. Shen both sighed with relief at the same time, as Su Ningxiu looked towards the suddenly arriving couple, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya.
Joy appeared on her face, filled with excitement.
“Little sister, brother-in-law.”
