The man was fat, with a big belly, wearing a suit and tie, his hair combed back and slicked back; he looked like an official from the city.
As for his appearance, he still retains some of the handsome features he had when he was young.
Su Xueli didn't notice that her second aunt's expression had changed.
The man seemed used to being bullied; he continued to plead in a humble manner, "You see, she's just a rural woman. Even if you make her pay, she can't afford it. We're here to worship, not to get angry."
“I didn’t come here to be disgusted. I bought this bag last week. Should I throw it away or not after he touched it?” the woman demanded of him.
The man said ingratiatingly, "Just give it to someone when you get back, and I'll buy you another one."
"Hmph, you buy it for me? With your meager salary, you can keep it to buy medicine!"
The man's face darkened, but he still didn't dare to say a word, just standing there letting the woman in the mink coat rant and rave.
The woman in the mink coat finished berating her husband, looked at the dumbfounded woman and the dirty little boy, gritted her teeth, and slapped the boy across the face.
"Wah!" the little boy cried.
A child is a mother's precious treasure, and the ragged woman immediately flew into a rage, raising her hand to strike the woman in the mink coat, yelling, "Why are you hitting my child? What's wrong with touching your tattered bag!"
The woman in the mink coat shrank back, and the man in the suit grabbed the hand of the woman in tattered clothes. He whispered, "You can't afford to mess with her. You'd better take the loss and leave with the child."
As they spoke, two uniformed men squeezed through the crowd. They gave the ragged woman a sharp look, and she was terrified, instinctively clutching her child.
The man in the suit quickly stopped the two men in uniform, saying, "It's nothing, it's just a small misunderstanding."
One of the uniformed men, acting like a lackey, said, "Let's see who dares to bully the commander's young lady."
“Even the Chief’s daughter has to be reasonable,” the second aunt said, squeezing forward.
"Hey, Second Sister!" Cao Maizi pulled her.
"Mother, don't worry about it, I'm here." Su Xueli pulled Cao Maizi back.
She told Cao Maizi to stay where she was and then stood next to her second aunt.
"Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in my affairs? You're asking for trouble!" the woman in the fur coat shouted arrogantly at her second aunt.
The man beside her changed his expression instantly, staring intently at his second aunt.
The second aunt ignored the man beside the woman in the fur coat and calmly said to the woman, "My name is Wei Susu, and I'm from Wangxiangzhai Village. I'm going to take care of this matter today."
The woman in the fur coat glanced at Second Aunt with a disdainful smile, crossed her arms, and looked down at her, asking, "So how do you plan to manage this?"
My aunt pointed at the little boy and said, "You hit the child, so you have to apologize to the child's mother and give the child an explanation. Hitting someone is wrong."
The woman in the mink coat shook her bag. "See this? This bag of mine costs over a hundred yuan. This little beggar touched it, and I thought it was dirty. I told his mother to pay for it, but she can't afford it. It's fair that I slapped him, isn't it?"
My aunt said, "He only touched your bag and didn't break it. Why should he pay for it? You won't get any compensation even if you go to the police station."
"Where did you come from, you troublemaker? How dare you reason with my young lady?" A uniformed man threatened the second aunt.
Su Xueli immediately stepped in front of her second aunt, staring intently at the uniformed man, and said, "This is a society governed by law. Does that mean a leader can knowingly break the law?"
The uniformed man was taken aback.
"Get out of my way." The woman in the fur coat pushed the man in uniform behind her.
