Zheng Xianren was not afraid of the young man's brutality. He said calmly, "Your men were only injured, not killed. You're asking for a hundred taels. Isn't that extortion?"
Two men immediately surrounded him, staring at him fiercely, and said in a warning tone, "I told you to stay out of my business!"
Liu Shulin looked over and said to Zheng Xianren, "Boss Zheng, this is my business, don't worry about it!"
Then he said to the leading young man, "How about this? You take me to see my son first to confirm that he really did this. Then we can discuss compensation. How about that?"
The young man thought for a moment, touched his chin with one hand, and said, "Okay, we'll take you to see him right away. But don't play any tricks on us!"
Liu Shulin said, "I'm just a woman, what tricks can I play on you?"
After saying that, she closed the shop and planned to go with them.
Zheng Xianren showed a worried look on his face, "Cai Liushi, I'll go with you!"
Liu Shulin shook her head, "No, this has nothing to do with you, I can handle it myself!"
After saying this, he left with the young men.
Zheng Xianren wanted to follow them, but was verbally warned by those young men, so he didn't follow.
Not long after, the young men took Liu Shulin to a thatched cottage on the outskirts of the town.
Cai Junze was tied up in a thatched hut, with bruises on his face and a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth.
In addition, there were several young men waiting in the hut. In front of them was a stretcher with a man wrapped in bandages lying on it. He should be... the one who was injured by Cai Junze?
Looking at the situation in front of her, Liu Shulin frowned.
As soon as the cloth in Cai Junze's mouth was taken out, he shouted loudly: "Mom, save me!"
Liu Shulin looked at him coldly, "What did you do wrong? Why are you tied up here?"
Cai Junze's face was filled with anxiety. "I beat up one of their people. Look, the one lying on the stretcher was injured by me! They said that if I couldn't pay the money, they would beat me like him! Or even make my injuries worse! I had no money on me, so I naturally couldn't compensate them. So they kidnapped me and asked you to pay to redeem me!"
Liu Shulin's eyes flashed, and she stood there calmly, asking slowly, "Why did you clash with them? Why did you hit them?"
Cai Junze took a breath and explained, "I, I wasn't paying attention while walking and accidentally bumped into them. They kept pestering me and told me to kneel down and apologize! I refused and argued with them, and then they started beating me! I had no choice but to fight back, and before I knew it, I seriously injured one of them..."
Liu Shulin nodded, turned around and asked the young man in the lead: "Is that so?"
The young man crossed his arms over his chest and replied, "Yes, that's it!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards her, "Auntie, I've seen it, so, this money..."
Liu Shulin just laughed and said two words: "No money!"
Then he put on an indifferent look and said, "Since he was the one who beat someone up and seriously injured them, then you can do whatever you want with him! Anyway, I won't pay money to redeem him!"
Having said that, he turned around and was about to leave!
Those young people: “?!”
His face was full of shock!
"etc!"
The leading young man reached out to stop her, "Are you really not going to take care of your son?"
Liu Shulin glanced at the young man and said, "I have this hundred taels. I can do anything else with it. Why spend it on something as rubbish as this?"
Those young people: "..."
"Alright, let's leave it at that!" Liu Shulin said resolutely, "Don't expect to get even a penny from me! As for my son, just don't beat him to death, or I'll report him to the police!"
After saying this, he walked around the young man and continued walking forward.
Many eyes were looking at her, and for a moment, they all seemed a little at a loss.
"Mom!" Cai Junze called out to her at the top of his lungs, "Are you really not going to take care of me anymore?"
Liu Shulin stopped but didn't look back. Her tone was cold: "You caused this trouble yourself, why should I take the blame for you? One hundred taels, do you know how long it would take me to earn this amount?"
Cai Junze looked anxious and said, "Mom, I'm your only son! Am I not as important as a hundred taels? If they beat me to death or cripple me, then who will take care of you in your old age?"
Liu Shulin chuckled again, her tone cold, and said, "Even if you weren't beaten to death or crippled, I wouldn't expect you to take care of me in my old age! You can't even cook, manage your own life, or make money. When I really get old and can't move, let alone take care of me in my old age, I'm afraid you won't even be able to take care of yourself!"
Cai Junze: “…”
Liu Shulin stopped talking, walked away without looking back.
No matter how Cai Junze yelled from behind, she didn't stop.
After walking for about half an incense stick of time, Liu Shulin met Zheng Xianren.
Zheng Xianren saw her and hurried over to ask, "Cai Liushi, what happened? Are you okay? Where's your son?"
Liu Shulin's expression was calm and unperturbed. She said, "I'm fine. Don't worry about that unfilial son."
Having said that, he continued walking forward, looking a little silent.
Zheng Xianren was a little confused, so he followed her and asked a number of tentative questions. However, Liu Shulin didn't respond, as if she didn't hear him.
