Chapter 331 Song Tingwan is angry

Huang Cuihua thought for a moment and realized that Wen Lao Er's family had so many businesses and was not short of money.

Ten taels of silver isn't exactly asking for the moon, is it?

She suddenly regretted it; she should have said a little more.

Wen Muchuan didn't show it on his face, but in his heart he was rolling his eyes to the heavens.

Xie He stood to the side with his arms crossed, not saying a word, while Huang Cuihua thought things were settled so easily.

She happily stretched out her hand, "Brother Wen, a big piece of silver will do."

She didn't feel anything when she held small pieces of silver or copper coins in her hand.

Wen Muchuan took out his money bag and barely managed to pull out three copper coins.

Before he could even take the money out of his purse, Huang Cuihua's hand was already pushed away.

"My geese were still sleeping in the shed at this time, how could they have eaten my aunt's vegetables?"

Wen Luozhi stood in front of Wen Muchuan, looking at the vegetable stalks on the ground.

Her listless appearance clearly indicates she's not here today; this woman is truly obsessed with money.

Huang Cuihua was instantly intimidated by Wen Luozhi, but in order to have money to buy new clothes for her youngest son, she still braced herself and said, "Your goose shed is right next to my land."

"So you can eat my vegetables if you sneak out?"

Are there any other livestock around?

Huang Cuihua puffed out her chest, looking as if she was in the right.

Wen Luozhi didn't bother arguing with her. She picked up a vegetable stalk from the ground and shoved it in her face. "Auntie, are you still dreaming of getting rich overnight?"

"Do you think these vegetable stalks look like they do today?"

"And another thing! My goose has been sitting on the chicken's head these past two days!"

Huang Cuihua guiltily dodged her, saying, "You're talking nonsense! You just said the goose was sleeping!"

Wen Luozhi brushed a stray hair from her forehead and laughed, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Auntie. I don't know which crazy woman woke me up so early this morning."

"My mind is foggy, I remembered it wrong."

Huang Cuihua glared at him and said, "You dare call me a crazy woman?!"

Wen Luozhi shrugged and didn't say anything; there was nothing she could do if this woman wanted to take it personally.

Huang Cuihua's voice wasn't quiet, and the villagers all came to watch the commotion.

After hearing what Aunt Wang had said, everyone began to criticize:

"Cuihua, that's really unfair of you!"

"Ignoring the fact that their geese are actually grazing on the mountain, what kind of dish of yours could possibly be worth ten taels of silver?"

Aunt Zhao, cracking sunflower seeds, pointed a finger at the vegetable stalks on the ground. "These skins are all wrinkled. Where did you find this to scam me?"

Huang Cuihua hurriedly gathered up the vegetable stalks from the ground, her neck stiff with anger, and shouted, "I don't care!"

"Anyway, their goose shed is right next to my vegetable garden, so it must have been their geese that did it! The geese ran down the mountain to steal food!"

Everyone was speechless with shock at her shamelessness. When the village chief arrived, Huang Cuihua sat on the steps and started howling again.

"You all hold a grudge against me. Our family did our best to build the school, even if we didn't contribute anything!"

"They actually ganged up on me!"

Huang Cuihua pinched her thigh and squeezed out a few tears. "You silly girl, your father is a reasonable man and should compensate me with money, but you won't let him."

"You bullied an elder like me, may your future children be born without an anus!" she accused Wen Luozhi, pointing at her.

Before Xie He could make a move, Song Tingwan, who was next to her, had already stepped forward and pried Huang Cuihua's hand off.

With a "crack" sound, Song Tingwan threw her down the steps with an over-the-shoulder throw.

"You're the one who gives birth without an anus! Your whole family is without an anus!"

After listening, Song stood in front of Huang Cuihua with a furious expression. Huang Cuihua belatedly realized that the pain in her wrist made her burst into tears.

She hugged her hands, and this time she really cried.

"You little slut, which brothel did you come from, you vixen!"

Looking up and seeing Song Tingwan, Huang Cuihua kept swearing.

Wen Zizhou, who was leaning against the door yawning, pulled off his sock and quickly stuffed it into Huang Cuihua's mouth:

"If you insult my sister, you'll have to eat my socks; if you insult our guest, you deserve to eat their socks even more!"

He unconsciously pulled Song Tingwan back a few steps, saying, "Stay away from her, or she'll bite you."

Song Tingwan looked at the hand that was tugging at her sleeve, but Wen Zizhou let go of it after a short while.

Xie He was taken aback by Song Tingwan's somewhat aggressive actions, but she has already calmed down.

Not surprising, not surprising at all. Her own daughter is even more capable than this girl.

Wen Luozhi herself wasn't even angry yet, but she didn't expect Song Tingwan to be so angry that she resorted to violence.

"Third Brother, take Tingwan to have breakfast."

She turned to Wen Zizhou and said something, and Wen Zizhou yawned and nodded with teary eyes.

Then, under the watchful eyes of his family, he pulled Song Tingwan's sleeve and went back into the house.

Song Tingwan is a germaphobe. She clearly saw him pull her hand to take off her socks just now, but she didn't shake him off now.

Huang Cuihua had already stood up from the ground. She vomited a few times and spat on the ground.

Her hand was still sore, and she couldn't point at anyone anymore. "You've gone too far!" she shouted.

Xie He took Wen Muchuan's money pouch, pulled out two pieces of silver, and tossed them at him, saying, "Go check on your hand, make sure it's not crippled."

"You won't get a single copper coin from any money that isn't rightfully ours!"

"Everyone, you can all leave now. Thank you all for today."

Huang Cuihua almost dropped the two jiao of silver with one hand; she picked up the silver and bit it.

After she finished being happy, she wanted to beg for more money, but all the onlookers had left, leaving only Wen Luozhi leaning against the courtyard wall.

"You brat! You think you can get rid of me with two taels of silver? Just wait till I get my hands on you..."

Wen Luozhi snatched a piece of silver from her hand. "Two taels of silver is more than my mother gave."

"Uncle Hu only sets less than an ounce of bone per set; you can save the rest for next time."

She slammed the courtyard gate shut, and Huang Cuihua stared blankly at the one or two taels of silver in her palm.

She realized what was happening and rushed forward, pounding on the courtyard gate. "Give me back my money! The medicine money! I need the money!"

Wen Zizhou finished his meal in a few bites. He wanted to go back to sleep, but Huang Cuihua kept making noise at the door, which was annoying.

He propped up the wooden ladder in his house against the wall and then climbed up.

Song Tingwan kept watching, and Wen Zizhou beckoned to her, "What are you looking at? Bring me the water to wash my face."

"Huh? Oh!" Song Tingwan ran a few steps and handed it to him. Wen Zizhou took it and splashed it outside. A scream came from outside the courtyard.

"You damn bastards!"

The weather was getting cooler and her clothes were wet. When the wind blew, Huang Cuihua couldn't help but shiver.

She cursed a few more times at the door, then, feeling it was pointless, she slumped back home with one hand hanging limply.

Wen Luozhi and the others watched the two people in the courtyard from inside the house, exchanging knowing glances.

Xie He's eyes were filled with laughter, and her fondness for Song Tingwan grew even stronger because of how she had tidied up Huang Cuihua at the door earlier.

"Girl, where is Tingwan from? What's her family like?"

She looked at Wen Luozhi with shining eyes, only to see her daughter shake her head at her.

"Mother, it's hard to say."

Xie He was stunned for a moment but didn't say much, though she felt a little regretful.
