Chapter 557: 557 Of course, the wife’s cooking is good.
“It’s just a dog, I don’t care if it bites, I’ll slaughter…” Qian Duotian’s voice was loud and aggressive, but as he met Su Qingyue’s cold gaze, his heart trembled inexplicably, and he couldn’t finish his sentence.
Su Qingyue beckoned to the little bastard, “Come back here, little bastard.”
Only then did it return to its owner’s feet, vigilantly staring at the three unwelcome guests.
Qian Duotian and his brother Qian Duodi didn’t care much for the other members of the Xiao Family, the two glanced at Xiao Yishan. Although he was using a crutch, his burly figure and thick beard made him look like a wild man, intimidating just by looking at him.
The two still didn’t want to resort to violence.
If Xiao Yishan hadn’t been injured, no one in the village would be able to beat him, let alone single combat, even if several strong men joined together, they wouldn’t be his match, as he had killed an adult bear with his bare hands!
Even though he was injured, they still didn’t dare to take him lightly. In case he retaliated after recovering…no one could withstand his punches.
Qian Duodi was slightly more cunning, he spoke up, “Dashan, your wife has caused a big trouble!”
Xiao Yishan frowned and asked, “What trouble did my wife cause?”
At this point, several villagers passed by and saw that something was happening in the Xiao Family’s yard, so they stopped to watch.
Qian Duodi said, “Your family bought a carriage and now you think you’re a big deal. It’s normal for fellow villagers to hitch a ride on your carriage when your wife was driving it back to the village. My wife was on her way back too, so she caught a ride on your carriage. It’s perfectly normal, right? Your wife actually threw my wife out, causing her to crash by the roadside, injuring her all over.”
“Ouch! It hurts so much!” Qian Duotian’s wife, Qian Zhang, cried out loudly. Seeing that a few villagers were watching the commotion from outside the fence, she raised her voice, “It’s so unfair! I just wanted to hitch a ride on Su Qingyue’s carriage, and asked her to drive me a short distance. I was even willing to pay the fare! But she hit me and pushed me onto the side of the road. Now, my whole body is in pain, and I feel like I’m falling apart…”
With that, she began to sob “wah wah wah…”
She was an ugly woman, and her crying was irritating to hear.
Her cries were not only devoid of pity but also annoying.
The hunter’s wife, Li Wang, came out of her house to see what the commotion was about, and as soon as she heard what had happened, she immediately scolded, “Xiao Family’s wife, you were really in the wrong here! It’s perfectly normal for fellow villagers to hitch a ride. Your behavior was too inconsiderate!”
Wang Qigu came to have a look, spiteful of the Xiao family’s new wealth and the purchase of a carriage. She sided with the Qian Family, “Exactly, it’s not like they were riding for free. Xiao Family’s wife, what kind of person are you?”
Hearing that someone was siding with her, Qian Zhang immediately cried even louder, “I kindly offered to pay her a few cents for the ride, but that nearly got me killed by her! Oh, heavens, why am I so unlucky? I want to report her to the authorities! I want to accuse Su Qingyue of attempted murder!”
Qian Zhang’s voice was so shrill and piercing that it hurt the ears of everyone present, making them involuntarily rub their ears.
Only Qian Duotian and his brother Qian Duodi could tolerate such an ugly woman.
Xiao Yishan furrowed his brow, “Qian Zhang, let’s talk this out.”
“I won’t press charges if you compensate me.” Qian Zhang angrily said, “Pay me fifty taels of silver for medical expenses!”
“Wow!” The villagers outside the fence gasped. That was a lot of money to pay for,
