He hunted geese all day long, but he never expected that today a gosling would peck at his eye.
"Why is Master Meng in such a hurry?" Su Hua chuckled. "I'm just feeling sorry for Madam Meng. With a husband like that, by the time she gets out of prison, she might have several more children calling her 'Mother'..."
With each word the girl spoke, Mencius' mother's hesitation deepened.
Finally, he decided to back out and not take the blame.
The man's patience had completely worn off, and his face turned ashen with rage. "Have you said enough?!"
"Enough!" The girl glanced at the man with a smile, clapped her hands, and called out to the villagers behind her, "Everyone, hurry up and leave! If we don't leave in time, this Master Meng might come up with some way to get back at us if he gets upset. This time it was robbery, next time it'll be throat-slitting."

Some of the more reckless ones patted their chests in fear, saying, "Hua Yatou, that's not right. It wasn't Master Meng who was causing trouble, but his wife.

That damned girl not only sent someone to jail, but also ruined the reputation of the Meng family. If this gets back to Qingyuan County, I'm afraid his business, which he has worked so hard to build over the years, will be affected!
Furthermore, Wang Ergou, that good-for-nothing, already hated himself to death. With Su Hua's instigation, the Meng family probably won't have a peaceful life anymore.
“Hua’er, my mother only wanted to borrow the jade hairpin that Young Master Qin gave you because it was priceless. Why are you so ruthless?” Meng Yun’er saw her mother being tied up with hemp rope by the villagers, wiped away her tears, and ran towards Su Hua.
