"Liang Yuchen, let me go! What kind of behavior is this if someone sees you like this!"
"Liang Yuchen, are you deaf or mute?!"
Sudden,
Thump—
As Qin Susu struggled to break free, she couldn't help herself...
Liang Yuchen was then sent flying backward at an extremely fast speed.
Another thud.
Liang Yuchen lurched forward uncontrollably and crashed directly into the flatbed cart in the middle of the road.
At this very moment, the owner of the cart was pushing a plump and strong old sow.
As soon as Liang Yuchen rushed in, he bumped right into the old sow.
If you're not careful, you'll feel a slippery wetness on your face.
But it was the old sow sticking out her tongue and licking his face.
Moreover, the old sow was making grunting and squeaking noises, and her mouth was smacking as if she had eaten something delicious.
Liang Yuchen gagged and tried to get up, but at that moment, due to Qin Susu's actions, he felt dizzy and lightheaded, and his forehead was also covered with beads of blood.
Liang Yuchen's sudden rush in caused the cart owner to cry out in pain.
He immediately started cursing and swearing.
"Who's so blind...?"
Suddenly, a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
"Hahaha……"
Liang Yuchen was both ashamed and angry. He struggled to get up, but because of his injured forehead and aches all over his body, he couldn't get up no matter what he did.
His lungs were burning with anger; at this moment, he probably even wanted to divorce Qin Susu.
After a moment, he managed to steady himself by bracing himself against the cart shaft with one hand, and tried to get up.
Suddenly, I felt something soft under my hand.
However, his other hand was placed directly on the sow's belly.
The sow let out a sharp squeal because of his movements; perhaps Liang Yuchen's actions had hurt it.
Liang Yuchen's actions amplified the laughter of those around him.
Qin Susu, who was running in front, was already laughing so hard she was doubled over.
She thought to herself, "Liang Yuchen, you're still so stupid."
At this moment, the cart owner's previous cursing turned into mockery.
"Oh dear, young master, I'm taking this old sow to be bred. What brings you here all of a sudden?"
He thought to himself, "This young master is such a waste of his manhood. He's so weak and frail. He's not even as sturdy as the old lady at the end of our alley."
He should have remained silent, because as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Susu burst into laughter.
But when she saw the red swelling on Liang Yuchen's forehead, she suddenly stopped talking. Just as she was about to reach out to help him, she saw Liang Yuchen staring at her with cold eyes, as if he wanted to kill her.
Qin Susu withdrew her hand.
"Liang Yuchen, all you've got is your eyesight. If you're so capable, get up yourself."
Liang Yuchen: "Qin Susu!" He was unable to express his anger in words.
"Sigh, this young master is no good; he can't even handle a woman," the cart owner said, smoothing the old sow's large ears, which had been bent under Liang Yuchen's weight, as they sat on the cart.
"Young master, please get up quickly."
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Liang Yuchen had knocked a crack into the bottom of his cart.
"Young master, my car is broken, you have to pay for it."
He looked displeased at Liang Yuchen, who was in a sorry state, on the cart.
At this moment, Liang Yuchen was still lying inside the cart, unable to get up.
He tried to get up again, but remained lying on the cart for a long time, wishing he could disappear on the spot.
The collision just now injured more than just his forehead.
This woman is still the same as before, unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
"We just accidentally bumped into your car, didn't we? We haven't even said your timing was bad. What, trying to extort money from us?" Qin Susu said, following the cart owner's gaze.
The bottom of the cart was indeed cracked from Liang Yuchen's impact.
"You're really being polite!" The cart owner was so angry that Qin Susu tried to absolve him of all responsibility with just one sentence that he jumped up from the ground.
"I'm telling you, you two are having a falling out, why are you taking it out on this old sow? Pay up, two taels of silver!"
"Two taels of silver?" Qin Susu's good mood had long since vanished because of the cart owner's exorbitant demands.
"Your broken cart is worth at most ten coins."
Qin Susu was not an unreasonable person.
She reached into her pocket, pulled out half a string of copper coins, and handed them to the cart owner.
"Take it, this money is enough for you to buy an oxcart."
The cart driver happily accepted the copper coins and began counting them.
But at that moment, Liang Yuchen said coldly again,
"Qin Susu, help me up!"
At this moment, Liang Yuchen had no choice but to abandon all his dignity as a man.
Because he simply couldn't get up.
Just then, the old sow was enraged by Liang Yuchen's actions.
Suddenly it opened its mouth and bit his right arm.
He was in so much pain that his forehead was covered in sweat.
Liang Yuchen then realized that pigs could bite, and that it was not just a little bit painful.
Upon seeing this, Qin Susu, without saying a word, punched the sow on the head.
Perhaps Qin Susu had put all her strength into that punch.
The next instant, the sow let out a squeal, and her head lolled to the side.
She fainted.
Then, Qin Susu reached out and pulled Liang Yuchen off the carriage.
Liang Yuchen was thrown into the crowd by Qin Susu's sudden movement.
At that moment, the pain in his wrist prevented him from exerting any strength, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up.
Suddenly, the cart owner grabbed his sleeve, preventing him from leaving.
"My pig! You killed my pig..." The cart owner could no longer remain calm.
He instantly burst into tears.
For these rural families, this old sow was their livelihood.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Susu thought to herself, could this pig really be dead?
Feeling guilty, she stepped forward and checked the sow's nostrils for breath.
He pressed on the sow's belly again.
It was true, completely still.
"Come on, let's go see the magistrate!" The cart owner pulled Qin Susu with his other arm again, dragging the two of them towards the government office to seek justice from the prefect.
But Qin Susu was not one to be easily captured.
"I'll compensate you, how much was this pig worth?" she said, pulling her hand away from the cart owner's wrist.
She didn't want to be taken to court because of this.
Over the years, hasn't she caused enough trouble?
Upon hearing this, the cart owner's eyes suddenly lost the sorrow he had shown earlier.
"Twenty taels of silver."
The two people in front of me were clearly wealthy.
"Twenty taels?" Qin Susu thought for a moment. How much could a pig actually sell for?
Thinking back to when I had personally witnessed Uncle Li selling meat at the Li family's ranch,
Looking at the sow in front of me, she weighs less than... 200 pounds.
According to the Dongjin pork price, one pound of pork costs twenty-five copper coins... What a heartless man.
After a moment's thought, Qin Susu took out the remaining copper coins from her bosom and handed them directly to the cart owner.
That's all.
She didn't want to go back to Wangyou Hall to borrow money from Qiu Ling'er; she was afraid of losing face.
The cart owner opened it and counted them.
"Not enough! Not enough!"
Qin Susu: "If you don't want it, then give it back to me!"
Qin Susu tried to snatch the money bag, but saw that the cart owner had already hidden the money behind his back. "You only have a few copper coins."
"Didn't I just give you some too?" Seeing that the cart owner was starting to make trouble, Qin Susu suddenly turned her gaze to Liang Yuchen, who was still being dragged along by the cart owner.
