After the smashing, the fierce thugs swaggered away, before leaving, they harshly said to Auntie Zhang and a few other servants, "Tell your young mistress, if she wants to continue running a shop in Qingyun Town, she better be sensible, go apologize to our master, if our master is willing to forgive her, so be it. If not, you all have to get out of Qingyun town!"
Upon hearing this, the Mu Zhongqing Couple turned to Cai Wei, shocked, "Wei’er, what’s going on? Who have you offended?"
By now, Cai Wei had a sense of what was happening. She scoffed coldly, "Nothing much, just a petty person."
Mu Zhongqing said worriedly, "Petty people are not to be offended lightly. There is an old saying, it is preferable to offend a gentleman than a petty person. Offending a petty person, especially one with some capabilities, is likely to cause endless trouble."
Cai Wei sneered, in her scholar father’s eyes, a petty person could indeed be hard to deal with. However, to her, the wretched breeding pig was like a grasshopper in her hand, she could crush it whenever she wanted, why would she think dealing with it would pose any difficulty?
Yet, crushing him would let him off too lightly. Wasn’t his arrogance fueled by owning a casino, a tavern, and a rice shop, having significant wealth? What if he lost everything one day and became penniless, will he still dare to arrogate? At that time, let him taste the torment of falling from heaven into hell, that would be the true misery!
With that thought, Cai Wei couldn’t help but laugh, a brilliant plan was taking shape!
Lady Du was worrying over Auntie Liu’s words just now. The man explicitly asked her daughter to apologize, his intention was definitely not just about the tavern, what should she do now? How could she both keep her daughter from danger and have that man let their tavern go?
Just as she was worrying, she saw Cai Wei start to laugh, Lady Du anxiously said, "What are you laughing at in a time , you should come up with a solution for this situation instead."
Cai Wei casually laughed and said, "No rush, tomorrow morning, I will go see him personally, I can surely change his mind."
A hoarse voice echoed concurrently, with the comical tone of a pubescent boy, strongly denying her.
Upon hearing the voice, Cai Wei turned back to see Jiujin’s family walking in, with Jiujin leading the way, a look of worry written all over his simple and honest face.
"Sister Wei’er, you can’t go."
He repeated, walked up to Cai Wei, stopped and said, "Tell me who smashed our tavern. I’ll go find him."
Before Cai Wei could reply, Aunt Zhou hurried up, took Cai Wei’s hand and said, "Girl, you mustn’t be so reckless. If you go there and that man has evil intentions, how will you deal with it? Once the sheep enters the tiger’s mouth, there’s no escaping, it will be too late to regret!"
Then she turned to Lady Du and said, "Sister, you have to persuade Wei’er. We can live without the shop, but we can’t risk the children. If anything happens, we can just return to Mu Family Village, it’s better than letting the children suffer!"
"Yes, we won’t let her go."
Mu Zhongli took over the conversation, nodded to Aunt Zhou, agreeing with her opinion.
He looked at his daughter and asked seriously, "Wei’er, tell your father, who destroyed our tavern? And how did you get on his bad side? Explain everything, tomorrow morning your father will go reason with him."
Uncle Zhou said, "Brother Mu, I’ll go with you so that you don’t end up at a disadvantage on your own."
Hearing this, Cai Wei couldn’t help but feel moved by her father’s tenderness. If she didn’t have these extraordinary capabilities, and something has happened, he would have to confront the offender for her, even though the final result could probably have been him being beaten half to death even before he starts speaking. Nevertheless, that was still better than her being violated by that beast.
