Chapter 562 Come Back When You're Old

"What?"

"Are you out of your mind, you old fool? What are you doing going to see Lord Wang for such a trivial matter?"

Those who were looking for trouble were all young people. They panicked when they heard about Song Chunxue's absurd behavior and pulled each other as they walked out.

"Let's go, let's go! This woman is ruthless; she even dared to hit Lord Wang. We need to leave quickly."

Song Chunxue pressed on, "What are you all so guilty about? Could it be that he sent you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you widow..."

The fourth brother walked over with his sword, saying, "Say that again, you insulted my mother, right? I'll chop up your shop, you believe me!"

At this moment, Wang Yong stepped forward and said, "Don't be impulsive. It's just a small matter. They're just a bunch of good-for-nothings who don't do anything productive. Don't bother with them."

"What utter bullshit! Just because someone's a rogue doesn't mean they can't be touched. If I don't fight back, he'll think I'm easy to bully." The fourth brother said fiercely, "My mother was right. You have to fight fire with fire with fire when dealing with people like this."

As they were talking, the fourth brother arrived at the cloth shop about twenty meters away, which was the shop of the Wang family who had just led the trouble.

The fourth brother cursed and swung his sword at their door a few times before rushing in and sweeping all the vases and tea sets on the floor.

"If you come to my house to cause trouble again, I'll go and cause trouble for every single one of your shops. Ha, that's what you call reciprocity. I was so stupid before, why didn't I know how to fight back?"

"Come on, I'm waiting!" The fourth brother got angrier and angrier. "If you talk rudely to my wife again, I'll pull out your teeth and feed them to the dogs. I'll find a few stinking beggars to curse you every day, so you can see how it feels."

The person who had been causing trouble was cursing loudly inside, but dared not confront him directly, as he was being held back by his subordinates, though he kept talking!

The fourth brother heard the man spewing vulgarities again. He turned back after stepping out the door, pointed at the stairwell, and shouted, "You dare come down here, you pointy-mouthed, monkey-faced dog? You can't do it yourself, so you blame others. You even cursed my mother. You're definitely Wang Can's lackey. I'll make my mother throw you into Wang Can's yard."

"Everything was fine before, but ever since your Lord Wang started making things difficult for my third brother, instead of making things difficult for him, you've started picking fights with me. How wonderful, your family is so powerful and united, you just love to bully us ordinary folks..."

The fourth brother stood at the door cursing and shouting until his lips were too dry to speak before he came back.

The reason Wang Can was dragged into this is because he recently offended the most powerful person in the Wang family. Even if those below him weren't acting on his behalf, they were definitely standing up for Wang Can and deliberately making things difficult for him.

If Song Chunxue were to actually go to Wang Can's house and shout this out in public, the Wang family would lose face and would definitely have to restrain themselves.

The fourth brother instantly understood this principle. Without saying anything harsh, he went straight for the exposé, making sure everyone understood the whole story.

The cloth shop not only didn't return it, but also closed its doors.

Wang Yong originally wanted to leave, but he was afraid that if this matter reached Wang Can's ears and he found out that Wang Can had stood by and done nothing, he would also have a hard time.

"Master Song, please don't be angry. I know you're angry and willing to go all out, even going to Lord Wang's house. But if you really go, it won't do the Jiang family any good, will it?"

Wang Yong earnestly advised, lowering his voice, "Give my brother some face. The local tyrant of Jincheng used to value face the most. You keep calling him Wang Can, it's not good. What if you anger him..."

"If you provoke us, then fight. We're just a small family, while you have such a large fortune. It would be easy for you to make us disappear. But you should understand that we're not afraid of trouble either. If something like this happens again, I, a cultivator, can easily settle this score with a few simple moves."

"Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. That's how tough I am now," Song Chunxue said in a low voice, her expression indifferent, using the calmest tone to say the harshest words. "If my son makes things difficult for me, I'll offend even the Zhao family. Why would I be afraid of Wang Can?"

Wang Yong touched his nose, having witnessed her courage and boldness before. He touched his nose again and said in a gentle tone, "It's not that bad. It's just a fool who made things difficult for your son on behalf of Lord Wang. This will never happen again, I promise."

"Really?" Song Chunxue said calmly, "Don't blame me for making such a fuss. This isn't the first or second time this has happened, and the timing is also very coincidental. I can't help but overthink it."

She would also slide down the slope.

"I know that in your eyes, I'm just an ordinary citizen, trying to fight you with my little finger. It's a bit presumptuous of me, and you're also a bit paranoid. It's really annoying." She lowered her tone and said helplessly, "We're scared too. After all, you are all big families. It would be easy for you to crush an ant."

Wang Yong cursed inwardly, "This guy is really something, he can be soft or hard, bend or stretch, I'm really impressed."

How come he's even more cunning than that official? He comes into the village selling basins, and he's got a whole set of tricks up his sleeve.

“I understand what you mean. I will go to my cousin’s house myself,” Wang Yong said helplessly. “Go and comfort your daughter-in-law. I’m leaving now.”

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing."

As the onlookers gradually dispersed, Tian Qi took out a broom and swept the floor.

Song Chunxue walked over, picked up the broom, and said, "Be careful, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Tian Qi was surprised and shook his head. "It's fine."

"Do you feel hotter now, and less afraid of the cold than before?"

Is there?

Thinking back on the weather, "Yes, my feet feel really hot. I wonder if it's because the weather is getting warmer."

Tian Qi had a halo around her, just like someone with a big belly, so Song Chunxue was certain she was pregnant.

They just didn't know that there weren't enough days left.

At this point, pulse diagnosis is not very effective.

"Don't drink alcohol, eat less spicy and stimulating food, and don't lift heavy objects. Be careful lately."

Tian Qi nodded, "Okay."

The fourth son picked up the shards of porcelain from the ground and understood what his mother meant.

He couldn't help but smile, rubbing his hands excitedly, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that she's pregnant?"

Tian Qi went into the house to get a rag, so he probably didn't hear anything.

"Yeah, don't make a fuss, and don't tell anyone."

The fourth brother nodded with a silly grin, "Sigh, I know, I understand there are taboos, I'm going to be a dad soon, hehe."

Song Chunxue brought a pot of wine. "Silly boy, I'm going back now. You guys take your time to clean up. If you encounter something like this in the future, if you can't beat them, use your brain. Don't be afraid of trouble, and don't be too impulsive. As long as I'm not dead, I'll take the blame."

The fourth son burst into tears instantly, looking at Song Chunxue with teary eyes, "Mother, I thought you weren't going to take care of us anymore. Now that you've said that, I'm relieved. I'll still be your son in my next life."

He clung to Song Chunxue's arm and acted coquettishly as before, saying, "Everyone else has to fight their way out on their own. I never thought that our mother, even in her old age, would still rely on her own abilities to let us, her children, benefit from her success."

Song Chunxue hissed and pushed him away in disgust, "Go away, stop being so mushy."

“Mother, we’re sorry, we’ve caused you so much worry and have been a burden to you. Mother, go to Jiangnan whenever you want, we won’t stop you.” He wiped away his tears sadly, “Come back when you’re old, and I’ll take care of you.”
