Chapter 48: Arguing with a Pregnant Belly
Qin Song touched his bulging belly and looked at the woman with a smile: "What do you want to argue about? Just say it."
"Xiao Song..." Mother Pei didn't want her to get involved in the argument. She held her arm and tried to persuade her, "Just listen to me..."
"Mom." Qin Song interrupted her, his voice gentle but firm, "I am also a member of this family. If something happens at home, I will definitely help if I can. How can I leave you here alone to hide away and enjoy peace and quiet?"
"Don't worry, I will take care of my body."
As he spoke, Qin Song gently patted the back of Pei's mother's hand. Mother Pei sighed and smiled bitterly: "Okay, then mom will accompany you."
Qin Song: "Yeah."
"Where is the agent?" She did not rush to argue with the woman, but looked at the two men beside the woman.
"We are the agents." One of the men stepped forward and said with an awkward smile, "My last name is Liu, you can just call me Xiao Liu."
Another man followed up: "My last name is Li, you can call me Xiao Li."
Mother Pei: "Xiao Li is the agent I entrusted, and this Xiao Liu is his store manager."
"Oh." Qin Song nodded to show that he understood.
"Then Xiao Li, tell me what happened today."
"Ahem..." Xiao Li cleared his throat, took two steps forward and stood between Qin Song and the woman, and said in a clear enough voice: "This matter is actually not complicated."
"Three hours ago, I brought Ms. Zhang and her husband to see Aunt Pei's house. Aunt Pei's house is well-known in this community. Ms. Zhang liked it after just looking at the photos and VR. She came here today specifically for Aunt Pei's house."
"At first, we were all enjoying the show. But when we saw the bathroom, the floor was slippery and Ms. Zhang's husband fell hard. He was sent to the hospital for a checkup and found that his arm was broken and half of his front tooth was broken."
"Broken front teeth?" Qin Song's eyes widened instantly when he heard these four words. She asked nervously, "How many were broken in total?"
"One." Xiao Li said, "The one in the middle, broken in half."
"Oh..." Qin Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay as long as one is broken, it's not too serious.
"What are you saying?" Ms. Zhang was very dissatisfied with Qin Song's reaction. Before Xiao Li could finish speaking, she angrily asked, "Do you think my husband fell too lightly?"
Qin Song: "That's not what I meant."
Ms. Zhang stiffened her neck: "What do you mean?"
Qin Song didn't want to bother with these meaningless questions, so he ignored her. She turned to look at Xiao Li and said coldly, "Go on."
Xiao Li: "Ms. Zhang's husband fell in Aunt Pei's house. Aunt Pei is more or less responsible. So Ms. Zhang wants Aunt Pei to pay for their medical expenses. And all the losses caused by the postponement of the wedding..."
Ms. Zhang interrupted, "My husband and I are about to get married, and the wedding will definitely be postponed after this fall. You must pay every penny for the expenses incurred by the postponement!"
Xiao Li smiled awkwardly: "This is how it is..."
"I understand." Qin Song looked at Ms. Zhang, "So your request is that we pay for the medical expenses and the wedding postponement fee."
"You must compensate!" Ms. Zhang put her hands on her waist and leaned forward slightly. "We came to see the house happily, but you guys cheated us like this. If you don't compensate, who will?"
"Don't be impatient." Compared with her temper, Qin Song's reaction seemed much calmer. She pulled Xiao Li away and said seriously, "After all, your husband fell in our house. We will definitely pay him every penny. But before paying, I think I need to call the police or find a lawyer first..."
"Why do you need a lawyer?!"
Before Qin Song could finish her words, Ms. Zhang interrupted her with a loud voice.
"Don't you understand what Xiao Li is saying? My husband fell down in your house. You just need to pay the money honestly. Why do you need to hire a lawyer? Are you trying to evade responsibility or pass the buck?"
"..." Qin Song was a little headache because of her loud voice, "Ms. Zhang, can you please listen to me first? I didn't say I won't compensate you, why are you so excited?"
Ms. Zhang raised her hand and pointed at her: "If you want to pay, then pay it now! Why did you find a lawyer for no reason? You are looking for a lawyer just to shirk responsibility, right?"
"My husband fell down in your house. You didn't clean up the water on the floor, so he fell down! This is an ironclad fact and you can't deny it! You must give me an explanation today!"
"..." Qin Song sighed weakly, "I will give you the explanation you want, but the premise is that I need to find the police or a lawyer to determine the responsibility first, and then..."
"Shut up!" Ms. Zhang shook her hand vigorously, and her palm passed in front of Qin Song, giving people the illusion that she was going to slap Qin Song.
"What do you want to do?" Pei's mother was startled by this action and hurriedly stepped forward to block Qin Song. "Just speak nicely and don't do anything."
"Who did it? Who did it?!!" Ms. Zhang's voice became louder and louder, and her voice echoed in the living room.
"You old woman, did you see me do this? Are you trying to blackmail me?!"
"Watch your mouth." Qin Song's patience was slowly being exhausted by her. She frowned, with anger evident between her brows.
"Whose mouth is dirty?" Ms. Zhang didn't know what words made her angry. She was inexplicably angry. "My husband fell in your house! His teeth were broken and his arm was fractured. Not only did you not pay me, you also turned around and blackmailed me for beating him! What kind of logic do you have?"
Qin Song: "I..."
"Shut up!" Ms. Zhang said fiercely, not giving Qin Song any chance to speak. "You are all responsible for this matter. You must give me an explanation!"
Qin Song: "I..."
Ms. Zhang blushed and glared at her: "Shut up! Don't even think about evading your responsibility!"
“…”
After being interrupted several times in a row, Qin Song really couldn't stand it anymore. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she spoke again her words were full of malice.
"You should shut the fuck up!" Her voice was no louder than Ms. Zhang's, and Ms. Zhang was stunned for a moment.
Qin Song: "You want me to give an explanation but you don't want me to speak. What do you want to do? I asked the police and a lawyer just to determine the responsibility for this matter. Why are you so excited? Are you guilty?"
