Chapter 210 Ma Yujie panicked
"That's right!" Liu Tiechui clasped his fists again, and before leaving, he turned around and said to Su Tai, "It's a pity that Shen Yi is not here. I will find him alone to apologize later."
Su Tai politely saw them off, nodded slightly to Huang Xinghua and the others who were working in the fields, and closed the door again.
Shen Yi received the news as soon as he entered the village and rushed back home in a hurry.
"Xiaotai, are you okay?"
Su Tai was feeding the child. She turned around and gave him a soothing smile, "It's okay. If the town magistrate hadn't pulled the wooden stake, I wouldn't have known that there were people outside causing trouble. What you should be worried about are Mr. Ma and his men. They seem to be seriously injured, and I don't know if their lives will be in danger.
If something happens to Mr. Ma, I'm afraid your cooperation with Ma Xingteng will be over."
Chen Yi didn't care at all. He went forward to check on Su Tai and the child himself. Seeing that they were really unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Our family is not short of that little money now. It would be great if we have it, but it's no pity if we don't. I think it's better for Mr. Ma to be gone, so that there will be no one threatening us.
Ma Xingteng and I are good friends. He is not an unreasonable person. Even if Mr. Ma really dies this time, he will not vent his anger on me. "
Su Tai was relieved. "But you still have to go to town. Not to see Mr. Ma, but to seek justice for us. It's best to make the matter known to everyone. If Mr. Ma is not seriously injured this time, we have to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he will think we are easy to bully!"
"I would have done the same even if you didn't tell me." Shen Yi said and drove the donkey cart to Moshi Town.
At this time, Liu Tiechui also arrived at the clinic. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Ma Yujie with red eyes. He immediately stepped forward with concern and asked, "How is my father-in-law?"
Ma Yujie sobbed twice, wiped her tears, and said, "The wound on his head is not serious, and his eyes can be cured. At most, he won't be able to see for a few days. But he is old after all, and his body is not as strong as it used to be. This time he broke his leg and got a lot of rashes on his body. It's painful and itchy. He is suffering!"
When Liu Tiechui heard that the man was not in danger of death, he immediately regained his composure, looked coldly at the backyard of the clinic, and said in a low voice: "Madam, I speak directly, so don't be unhappy. This time, my father-in-law brought this upon himself, and he deserves to be taught a lesson, otherwise I won't be able to clean up the mess if he makes it worse."
Ma Yujie suddenly didn't like what she heard. "What are you talking about? I know you look down on my father's character, but he is the one who gave birth to me and raised me. Even if he was partial to me, he still let me make trouble in my mother's house. Now that he is like this, can't you say something nice?
Yes! My father was wrong in this matter, but Su Shi is not innocent either! If she hadn't said that, there would be no disaster. Do you know how much impact her words have had on our Ma family? As soon as the rumor spread yesterday, a bunch of people came to my father to ask for accountability, and made trouble outside our Ma family shop, and refused to give in. Isn't it normal for my father to be angry?"
Liu Tiechui looked at Ma Yujie patiently and asked, "How do you know that what Su said is just a rumor?"
Ma Yujie was stunned for only a moment before she flew into a rage, "What do you mean by that? Do you think a country woman with little knowledge knows more than my father? My father brought Ringo back from a long journey, and there are only a few people in the entire Langya Kingdom who know about this. If I'm not mistaken, the Su family has never even left Zhaohua County, and you believe what she said? I think you are possessed by a ghost!"
Liu Tiechui's face turned cold when he was scolded like that. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger. "No matter whether what Su said is true or not, I only believe what I saw with my own eyes. The apples were planted in the spring and are still in the form of seedlings. Do you expect them to bear abundant fruits in the autumn? That's just wishful thinking!
If what Su said came true, and the people who planted apples got nothing this autumn, have you thought about the consequences? If Su hadn't said this in advance, what would happen to your Ma family? What would happen to your father? "
Ma Yujie felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her. Her angry brain gradually cooled down and she regained her rationality.
When Liu Tiechui saw her face turn from red to white and her eyes rolling around, he knew that she already knew the consequences and started to get scared.
He sighed helplessly, "I didn't think so much at first. It was Su who took the initiative to mention it to me that I suddenly realized that the ringo harvest this autumn will most likely not bear fruit. With Su's words, those people can come up with an excuse even if they make trouble, and it won't count as deceiving the people. Wait for three or four years, and if it really bears fruit, this matter can be left unresolved. If it doesn't bear fruit, with three or four years of time to settle, I believe your father can handle this matter well.
If Su Shi hadn't said that, when the autumn harvest came and everyone got nothing, the Ma family would have to bear the wrath of more than just one or two people. What do you think the people who have lost their minds due to despair would do?"
Of course Ma Yujie could think of it, but she didn't dare to think too deeply. Because of fear, she couldn't even stand up. She fell limply into Liu Tiechui's arms, crying in fear, "Husband, what should I do? What should my father do? What Su said is not true, right?"
Liu Tiechui did not nod in response to her words.
Ma Yujie's heart seemed to sink into an endless abyss. At this moment, all she wanted was to save her elder brother Ma Xingteng. She immediately pushed Liu Tiechui away and stumbled into the backyard of the clinic, "Brother, brother..."
Ma Xingteng came out of the wing where Mr. Ma was being treated, frowning deeply, "What's wrong with you?"
Ma Yujie couldn't help crying and told him what Liu Tiechui had said.
Ma Xingteng's expression changed instantly, but he still tried to comfort his sister, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will go wrong. If there really is no fruit this year, we will open the granary to help the people get through the cold winter first, and then think of other solutions.
If losing money can avoid disaster, then it is not a big deal. Moreover, the autumn harvest has not arrived yet, and what Su said may not be true. Don't panic for now."
Ma Yujie wiped her tears and felt relieved. She was about to turn around and go back, but after thinking about it, she turned back and said to Ma Xingteng awkwardly, "Although I don't like what Su did and said, this matter is indeed Dad's fault. You can give some apology to the Shen family and don't affect your business with Shen Yi."
She was really furious just now, and was only thinking about settling the score with Su Tai. She didn't think about anything else. Now that she has come to her senses, she can consider the problem properly.
Ma Xingteng held his forehead with a headache, "Don't worry, I'll go to the Shen family later."
As soon as the voice fell, the servants of the Ma family ran over in a hurry, "Master, Miss, Shen Yi from the Shen family is here, and it seems that he is here with bad intentions."
Ma Xingteng quickly asked Ma Yujie to go in and take care of Mr. Ma, while he went out to deal with the situation.
As soon as he walked to the lobby, he trotted to Shen Yi and spoke first, "Brother, I have been outside today and I didn't know what my father did. The housekeeper did try to stop him, but his words were insignificant, and my stepmother was fanning the flames, so my father lost his mind and brought people to cause trouble without caring about anything.
I am here to apologize to you and your sister-in-law on his behalf. Fortunately, your sister-in-law and the child were not affected. Otherwise, I would be responsible even if I died!"
