“That’s not how it works,” Jiang Nuan retorted. “He knew you were wrong but didn’t stop you, so he’s an accomplice and equally wrong. Neither of you can escape the consequences.”
In the end, the two of them went out with Jiang Nuan.
Grandma Jiang was afraid that her daughter would be taken advantage of, so she came along too.
The dog owner was the grandson of the village chief of Jiangjia Village. He was spoiled and pampered by his family, and no one in the village dared to offend him too much, which led to his domineering nature.
When Jiang Nuan brought the two of them to the village chief's house, the village chief's eldest daughter-in-law was unhappy, but she was also wary of Jiang Nuan's mother, so she smiled and welcomed them in.
"Sister-in-law," the village chief said, somewhat surprised to see them, "what brings you here?"
"Xiao Si, Xiao Yi," Grandma Jiang turned her head, "you two come here."
Upon hearing this, the two pursed their lips and stepped forward.
“I don’t need to teach you what to say,” Jiang Nuan said. “If you’re a man, be decisive. Don’t be so wishy-washy like a woman.”
Jiang Nuan brought up the phrase that the two of them often used to say.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Si, who had been dawdling, immediately spoke up, "I shouldn't have hit someone today. It was my fault, I'm sorry!"
“Hitting someone is wrong,” Huang Xiaopang added. “We were wrong, and we apologize to your grandson.”
Even though Little Fatty was unwilling, he didn't dare to try anything funny at this moment.
“It’s good that you know,” the village chief’s daughter-in-law said with a sidelong glance. “This little kid, I don’t know how he could be so wicked. Look what he did to Gangwa. Half of his face is swollen. He’s in so much pain that he can’t eat. Not to mention the suffering he’s going through, I don’t know how much money it will cost to see a doctor and get medicine.”
As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Jiang Nuan.
It's all because that wretched woman doesn't discipline her child properly.
“We should pay for the medicine and medical treatment,” Jiang Nuan knew this man was trying to extort money, but she didn’t care. She took out a tael of silver and said, “This money is for the child’s medical treatment. Don’t let it be delayed.”
“Mother,” Huang Xiaosi said anxiously, “why did you give so much silver?”
Apologizing is frustrating enough, but to have to give away a tael of silver? Why should I?
It was just a punch; it would heal on its own. Why would you need to see a doctor and get medicine? Pah! They're clearly trying to extort money from me.
The village chief's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up when she saw the silver. She immediately snatched it away, saying, "Your son beat my son, so this silver is an apology."
"Eldest daughter-in-law," Village Chief Jiang cleared his throat, "quickly return the money to them."
It's just a child's quarrel. They're taking a tael of silver from someone and aren't they afraid of being laughed at?
“Why should we?” The village chief’s daughter-in-law quickly put the silver away. “If we don’t take the silver, Gang’s beating will have been for nothing. That won’t do.”
"Sister-in-law," the village chief looked at Old Lady Jiang with difficulty, "what do you think about this?"
"Take it if you want. Our fourth son was in the wrong first, so it's only right that he pays compensation," Old Mrs. Jiang said, squinting her eyes.
“Auntie is the most reasonable one,” the village chief’s daughter-in-law said with a smile. “After all, we’re relatives, so we can’t be so petty. Let’s just let this matter go today.”
For the sake of the money, even though she was somewhat resentful, she decided to generously forgive the two children.
My son has never suffered such injustice in his life. It's only a tael of silver; it's a bargain for those two brats.
It's not that I don't want more, but I feel I can't offend people too much.
"Eldest daughter-in-law," Village Chief Jiang's forehead veins were practically bulging, "Shut up. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak. Go back to your room and nurse the baby."
You've already gotten a good deal, why don't you know when to stop? Why do you have to offend people so badly?
Women are all short-sighted and lack vision.
“Sister-in-law,” Village Chief Jiang turned his head, “don’t take it to heart, she’s young and doesn’t know any better.”
