Granny Yang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around in circles!

Chu Yunfan fell down on his own, yet she's being asked to pay for it? What's the difference between that and outright robbery?

Actually, Chu Yunfan wanted to find a different way to force Xiao Jingchuan and his wife to sell him the electric bike, preferably by giving it away for free.

Although he fell quite badly, he was full of curiosity about electric vehicles.

"Old woman Yang! This matter isn't over today. You have to pay me at least a thousand taels."

"What? A thousand taels! Where am I supposed to find the money for you?"

Grandma Yang was so frightened that she trembled. Although she had a sum of money in savings, she wanted to leave it to her second son and eldest grandson.

Xiao Jingchuan sneered. Chu the bully was too wicked. He tripped and fell, and then demanded a thousand taels of silver from others.

Letting him scare Granny Yang is a good thing.

"Grandma! Did you make some kind of deal with Young Master Chu behind our backs? Otherwise, he wouldn't have made you pay money."

Xiao Jingchuan looked up at Granny Yang, who immediately shook her head in denial. During their first conversation, Chu Yunfan had indeed given her some benefits. Although he only gave her five taels of silver, he had indeed said that the five taels of silver was a deposit.

Chu Yunfan pressed on aggressively, "Old woman Yang, stop talking nonsense! If you don't pay me back, I'll drag you to the authorities."

When Granny Yang heard that the matter was going to be reported to the authorities, she panicked even more. "Young Master Chu, can't you be reasonable? This matter has nothing to do with me."

By this time, a crowd of onlookers had gathered, pointing and whispering about Chu Yunfan, but no one dared to step forward and speak. Chu Yunfan was a notorious bully; anyone who crossed him would surely suffer the consequences.

Xiao Zhenzhu was already furious with Granny Yang. If Granny Yang hadn't been so eager to see Chu Yunfan, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Young Master Chu! This matter has nothing to do with my grandmother. If you insist on making us pay compensation, then we will fight to the end."

Shen Yunsheng: [This Xiao Zhenzhu truly lives up to her reputation as a high-level green tea; she turned the tide with just one word.]

Xiao Jingchuan: [Pearl is indeed a clever girl. She's not only eloquent, but also very shrewd.]

Chu Yunfan looked at Xiao Zhenzhu with great interest. "Oh, this little girl is quite something! However, if you can't afford to pay this thousand taels of silver, then leave the electric scooter behind."

Shen Yunsheng sneered, "Young Master Chu, you've got the wrong person. The electric scooter is mine, and you have no right to take it away."

Chu Yunfan smiled and said, "I don't care whose it is, you have to give me an explanation today."

Granny Yang quickly said, "Young Master Chu, you were the one who wanted to drive the electric car. We...we didn't ask you to drive it."

At this moment, Xiao Wenjing returned. Seeing his mother sitting on the ground in a disheveled state, he reached out and helped her up.

"Young Master Chu, isn't what you're doing inappropriate? You clearly fell down on your own, how can you expect someone else to pay for it?"

Chu Yunfan glanced at Xiao Wenjing and said, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business!"

“I am Granny Yang’s son. If you have any problems, come at me. Don’t make things difficult for my mother,” Xiao Wenjing said angrily.

The old man who came back with them looked helplessly at his granddaughter and her husband. Xiao Wenjing wanted to come back, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Xiao Jingchuan and his wife smiled slightly at the old man, indicating their understanding.

Xiao Wenjing's biggest flaw is his soft heart. He is too dependent on Granny Yang. Even if he knows that Granny Yang is wrong, he will still choose to help her.

Chu Yunfan glared angrily at Xiao Wenjing, "You dare to say another word? Believe me, I'll take care of you too!"

"Give it a try!" Xiao Wenjing said without fear.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and it looked like they were about to take action.

Chu Yunfan suddenly took a step forward, confronting Xiao Wenjing.

"How dare you challenge me? Do you know who I am?" Chu Yunfan glared angrily.

“I don’t care who you are, what you’re doing is wrong! If you want my electric car, you can talk to me nicely. Why resort to those dirty tricks?” Xiao Wenjing said without backing down.

Xiao Jingchuan and his wife were very satisfied with Xiao Wenjing's performance. They both felt that their father was the real father at this moment, and that one should maintain an attitude of not being afraid of power when facing evil forces.

“Young Master Chu, I actually knew you wanted to buy my electric car a long time ago. As long as you’re willing to pay the price, I’ll still consider selling it to you,” Shen Yunsheng said with a smile.

Xiao Jingchuan casually chimed in, "Young Master Chu, my wife's electric scooter is different from ordinary transportation. If you really want to buy it, name your price first."

Grandpa: "Grandson-in-law, please don't make things difficult for that boy. He definitely can't afford it."

"You old geezer, how dare you say I can't afford it!" Chu Yunfan stomped his feet in anger. It's just a beat-up car, right? He can't afford it?

"Young Master Chu, you really can't afford it. This electric car of mine is the only one of its kind in the world. If you want to buy it, you'll have to give me one million taels of silver."

"One...one million taels of silver? Why don't you just rob someone? I wouldn't even take this piece of junk your car if it were given to me for free."

Chu Yunfan was furious with Shen Yunsheng again. All their family's assets combined didn't even amount to a million, and this damned woman dared to ask for such a high price.

Upon seeing this, Granny Yang hurriedly scolded Shen Yunsheng.

“Jingchuan’s family, Young Master Chu is not someone you can afford to offend. If you are really short of money and want to sell electric bikes, then name a reasonable price.”

Chu Yunfan looked smugly at Xiao Jingchuan and his wife, as well as Xiao Wenjing, and said, "Did you hear that? If you know what's good for you, hurry up and hand over the car keys!"

Xiao Wenjing gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do. Just then, a clear gong sounded, followed by a shout: "The magistrate has arrived! All bystanders, please make way!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, causing everyone present to turn their heads. In the distance, a group of officials were walking briskly, led by a middle-aged man in official robes who looked imposing, followed by a group of constables and yamen runners.
