Old Mrs. Song thought she had misheard, but upon closer listening, she realized that the person was right at the door, shouting that the Song family should pay her compensation, and it seemed that someone had even come inside.
They came specifically for the Song family.
"Pay for medical expenses? What medical expenses? Who does the Song family owe us for medical expenses?" Old Mrs. Song was already furious. She threw down the spatula and walked out the door.
She didn't notice that Song Ruier looked guilty and didn't follow her out.
When she arrived in the courtyard and saw who had come, Old Lady Song gasped.
Good heavens, four families came, each with five or six people. The courtyard was packed with them.
What they had in common was that each family pushed a small child to the front, and that child seemed to have bad legs and was limping.
"Your son is lame, and you come to our Song family to ask for medical expenses? What kind of logic is that?" Old Mrs. Song laughed angrily.
“Aunt Song, do you think we would come to your family to ask for medical expenses for no reason? My son Acang is in this state, and it’s all your fault, Song Rui’er’s fault.”
A-Cang's father said.
"What happened to Rui'er? Did he hit your boy's foot with a stone? That's impossible." When Old Mrs. Song heard him mention Song Rui'er, her heart pounded, and she had a bad feeling.
Song Ruier has many ideas and schemes. If she gets a good deal, that's fine, but if she doesn't, she'll cause trouble.
However, she didn't believe that Song Ruier had openly done something malicious to damage someone's foot like that.
"Song Ruier encouraged our children to steal from the Qiao family, promising them three taels of silver if they succeeded. She even made a few of them lead the way. When they jumped down from the courtyard wall, they accidentally stepped into an animal trap and got their feet caught, breaking their bones. They need medicine and bandages every day. Song Ruier, on the other hand, ran away under those circumstances. She's selfish and irresponsible. If the Song family doesn't compensate, who will? At least each family should pay one tael of silver," said Fusheng's uncle.
"If you don't pay, we won't give up and we won't leave until you do."
After Le Liang's mother finished speaking, the parents all took a step forward and half-surrounded Old Lady Song.
Old Mrs. Song was so angry that her face turned blue, and the other members of the Song family were also furious.
I just paid a fine of three taels of silver today, and now I have to pay another four taels.
This is cutting into the flesh of the Song family.
They came out of the room leaning on their crutches, firmly stating that they would not pay compensation, and started arguing with the villagers, making the courtyard a noisy mess.
These families got angry and started pushing and shoving the Song family. The Song family members were already injured and had no strength left, so they all collapsed to the ground.
“If you don’t hand over the compensation money, we’ll go inside and search the house.”
Qiao Laoda and Qiao Laoer were helping villagers deliver things home when they happened to pass by and heard about this incident.
Both of them clenched their fists.
Taking advantage of the fact that only two elderly people and a child were at home, Song Ruier led a group of people to cause trouble again.
This heartless ingrate, he has half the blood of the Qiao family in his veins, but his attitude towards the Qiao family and the Song family is completely different.
As soon as Song Ruier ran out of the side door, Qiao Laoda and the others quickly walked over, grabbed him on the spot, and lifted him up.
"Let me go, let me go!" Song Ruier cried out anxiously, not knowing who had grabbed her.
"You've gone to steal from our Qiao family again, are you itching for a beating? Then let your grandma teach you a lesson." The eldest Qiao brother walked into the Song family's courtyard and threw Song Ruier to the ground.
Then he walked out without looking back.
"You little rascal, you've ruined the Song family again!" Old Mrs. Song was furious and grabbed a stick to hit Song Ruier.
"You still want to run? Where do you think you're going? If you run again, don't come back. I'll beat you to a pulp so you can never cause trouble again."
When Qiao Laoda and Qiao Laoer returned home, they saw Qiao Lian'er cooking, seemingly unconcerned.
Both men felt a surge of admiration for her, seeing how such a thin and small girl could be so prepared and resourceful in dealing with everything.
