"Yes, they started hitting me, so I used my hand to block the ground."
Yun Mingxuan, having calmed down slightly, crossed his arms and said with eyes full of hatred, "Officer, we must teach them a lesson, beat them to death!"
"Stay away from me." Seeing his face covered in cow dung, the constable immediately scolded him with disgust.
Yun Mingxuan has always been a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong. He was very obedient to the constables. Although he felt wronged, he quickly took several steps back.
"Yun Mingxuan, you're so young and you're already shouting for violence! They're your own blood relatives!"
Upon hearing Yun Mingxuan's words, Old Madam Yun was extremely angry. She looked at Qin Shi and said angrily, "Is this how you teach your children? How can you be so cold-blooded and heartless towards your own family?"
"Ha, who are the closest relatives? They've all separated, so they're all complete strangers now."
After Qin finished speaking, she said to the constable, "Sir, look at this! They have injured my child. This is no small crime."
"That's right, they all deserve to die for daring to hurt me!" Yun Mingxuan said with a smug look on his face.
He was fined so much money for injuring Yun Mingyuan before, so the second branch of the family will definitely not have an easy time now.
"Enough! Neither of you are pushovers!"
Unexpectedly, the constable acted differently, brandishing his whip and coldly declaring, "The old rules apply; troublemakers will be punished!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Mingxuan immediately shouted indignantly, "We're the ones who are injured, why should we be punished too!"
"They're doing just fine in the cowshed. If you don't come over, how can they bully them?"
The constable sneered, "Don't treat me like a fool. However, the eldest son's family is also at fault for injuring someone. Both sides should be punished this time."
Hearing this, Yun Zhourong gritted her teeth, knowing that this was the constable's doing on purpose, just to squeeze more money out of them.
So she glanced at Madam Qin, then stepped forward and curtsied, saying, "Officer, what we were just doing was just playful banter between brothers and sisters; we weren't causing any trouble."
This was actually giving Qin a way out. If she was smart enough, she would know to cooperate, so that both sides could avoid trouble.
After all, if the constables had any leverage over Yunmingxuan, the Qin family would have to spend money to protect it.
Even if the eldest son's wife is very wealthy, she is now living off her savings, so saving money is naturally the best thing to do.
"Who said it was just a joke? It was clearly something you did on purpose, you little slut!" To everyone's surprise, a dark glint flashed in Qin's eyes as she spoke coldly.
Qin's reaction was something Yun Zhourong hadn't expected.
With Qin's shrewdness, she definitely knew what was the most advantageous course of action, but in order to get her punished, she deliberately gave the constables an opportunity to embezzle money!
Is it because she is the ex-wife's daughter that he hates her so much?
But now that she has been adopted by the second wife, there is clearly no longer any conflict of interest between her and Qin Shi. Why is she still being so persistent?
Yun Hongcheng was equally bewildered and angrily retorted, "Qin, do you know what you're saying?!"
Qin said coldly, "Of course I know. My son has been bullied like this by you. This matter cannot be left like this. Officers, we accept the punishment. As for them... Hmph!"
After saying that, he took the money and handed it to the constable.
The constable took the money, his expression visibly brightening, but his gaze towards Yun Zhourong was clearly cold. "So, what do you plan to choose?"
This woman is very clever; she almost ruined his path to wealth. She needs to be taught a lesson.
“I’ll take this punishment!” Yun Hongcheng immediately stepped forward and blocked Yun Zhourong’s path.
"No, it was that big-footed old woman who hit people, she has to be hit!" Yun Mingxuan immediately objected and shouted.
“That’s right. Whoever makes a mistake must be punished. Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone ignore the rules in the future?” The constable also refused directly, deliberately making things difficult for Yun Zhourong.
"Girl, take out the gold paper, let's not get beaten up."
Upon hearing this, Yun Hongcheng quickly advised Yun Zhourong, "We have food now. Money is just an external thing. Life is more important!"
Upon hearing his words, Madam Qin and Yun Mingzhu exchanged a glance, both gritting their teeth in resentment.
The second wife not only has meat to eat today, but she even has extra grain!
Yun Zhourong hesitated.
She had already used the first piece of gold paper when buying grain.
The remaining one was left behind from the candy that the Snow Fairy gave her, so it had a different meaning.
She really couldn't bear to part with it.
“Girl, that bailiff clearly just wants money. There’s no use in reasoning with him. Just give him the gold paper.”
Old Madam Yun was getting anxious, fearing that Yun Zhourong wouldn't understand the key point, so she quickly tried to persuade her in a low voice.
"Can the fine be deducted from our previous bounty?" Yun Zhourong thought for a moment, but ultimately did not take out the chocolate.
"That's possible, but interest will apply."
The constable squinted and said, "If the money isn't recovered within ten days, the fine will be increased by one tael."
"Officer, is this...?"
"good."
Just as Yun Zhourong was about to say that the other party had gone too far, Yun Hongcheng stepped forward and agreed, then gently shook his head at her.
Although she felt aggrieved, Yun Zhourong knew the principle that one has to bow down when under someone's roof, so she could only choose to remain silent.
"Very good. The fine this time is two taels. If you don't receive the money in ten days, it will be three taels."
The constable was finally satisfied, and then warned the crowd, "Behave yourselves, or things won't be so simple."
"Consider yourselves lucky!"
The mother and her two children glanced at the food again before reluctantly giving up.
Before leaving, Madam Qin glared fiercely at Yun Zhourong, saying, "I'll remember this debt!"
That little bitch, I thought I'd spoiled her rotten, but it turns out I was just hiding her true abilities.
That's really great!
"Then please remember this, Auntie: the cowardly Yun Zhourong of the past is dead. From now on, don't even think about bullying me in the slightest!"
Yun Zhourong also retorted coldly, her expression no longer showing the timidity of the past.
"What an ingrate! I should have killed you when you were little!" As she brushed past him, Qin's voice was as cold as a viper's hiss.
Yun Zhourong felt a chill run down her spine. The shadow of being bullied by the Qin family in the past made her expression change slightly, but she straightened her back even more.
She gripped the pressure cooker handle tightly, her voice tense as she said, "You tried to take advantage of me a long time ago, but you only failed because of my second uncle's protection. I'm all grown up now, you have no chance!"
"Hehe, the road ahead is long, how do you know there won't be a chance!" Madam Qin gave a meaningful smile and then left with the brother and sister.
As Yun Zhourong watched Qin Shi's departing figure, she frowned deeply.
She really couldn't understand why Madam Qin harbored such deep hostility towards her, even though she had always been well-behaved in the mansion and had never done anything to offend her.
"Ruanruan, money is just an external thing; people are the most important."
Seeing that Yun Zhourong was not speaking, Zhao thought she was worried about the money, so she gently persuaded her.
Yun Zhourong then came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "Aunt, I just don't understand why Madam Qin seems to dislike me so much?"
