"Speak up, don't come all this way for nothing, let's get everything out in the open." Qin Xiaoyu's hands were busy, putting curling irons on Commander Wang's hair.
“You’re a straightforward person too. Let me put it this way, this school is partly owned by my in-laws, am I right?” Mrs. Xu crossed her legs and began to state her conditions.
"Why should she get half the credit? I personally watched Xiaoyu's school open, and I even helped her rent the apartment. I only told Master Wang after the contract was signed and the money was paid. How can she get half the credit? It has nothing to do with her!"
Commander Wang, holding a plastic basket containing hair curlers, tried to reason with Xu's mother.
"Nonsense! Qin Xiaoyu is able to open such a big hairdressing school only because of my in-laws. Even Da Liu from Dongfeng came to help. If it weren't for my in-laws, would she have been able to get them to come?" Mrs. Xu twisted her neck and said contemptuously.
"Go ask Big Liu who he came here to help for. Is he here to settle a score? Get the whole story straight before you make a fool of yourself," Commander Wang said with a cold smile.
"Aunt Wang, let it go, don't ruin the harmony." Qin Xiaoyu had been suppressing her anger, she had to consider Master Wang's feelings.
"Look, she's scared now! People should have a conscience. She's just a laid-off widow from a textile factory. Without my in-laws, could she possibly run a school? Dream on! Sigh, sigh, sigh..."
"Who are you calling a young widow? Who are you talking about? I can't stand people like you. Who do you think you are, bullying people like that? Don't you even know who you're dealing with? Who do you think you are!"
Upon hearing the words "young widow," Commander Wang jumped up and swung the plastic basket at Xu's head, causing Xu's mother to run away with her head in her hands.
There were quite a few trainees in the room, and they were all holding their breath. When they saw this, they all came up to take sides. Two or three of them grabbed Xu's mother's arm to prevent her from moving, while the others pretended to persuade Commander Wang not to make a move, and used dirty tricks such as punching and pinching.
"Murder! You're trying to kill someone just because you outnumber me!" Xu's mother screamed like a pig being slaughtered. The students upstairs all ran down to see what was going on. Master Wang was dumbfounded when he entered the room.
Qin Xiaoyu couldn't stop them all by herself; she tried to stop one, but another ran away. In the end, she could only yell, "Stop making a scene!"
Commander Wang had already exhausted herself and was covered in sweat. She slumped back into her chair, panting heavily. Tian Tian, quick to notice, rushed over and patted and kneaded her, giving her a massage to help her relax.
The plastic basket broke, scratching Xu's mother's face in two places, drawing blood. Xu's mother touched her face and, seeing the blood, screamed even more horribly.
"Oh dear, in-law, you really are something!" Master Wang was both embarrassed and ashamed, but he couldn't just ignore it, since his grandson was still in the other woman's daughter's belly.
Only Qin Xiaoyu helped her, dragging Xu's mother up from the ground and pressing her into a chair.
"This isn't over yet. I'll die right here and show you!" Mrs. Xu wiped her snot and started throwing a tantrum.
"Yes, you stay here and don't leave. If you dare to leave, you're not human!" Commander Wang challenged her.
"Aunt Wang, go next door, I'll come over and do your hair in a bit, go quickly." Qin Xiaoyu had no choice but to send her away for now.
“I’m not leaving. I’ll just watch her and see what she can do. If it doesn’t work, I’ll call the police. I’ll call the police station and say that someone is trying to extort money from me. I’ll see if anyone can deal with her! Is there no law anymore?” Commander Wang had seen a lot of things and wasn’t afraid of someone like Xu’s mother.
"Okay, call someone to arrest me right now, call quickly! I'm just waiting to be arrested so my daughter, eight months pregnant, can come to the police station to pick me up. Call now, call quickly!" Mrs. Xu was holding Mr. Wang's weakness in her hands.
Master Wang sighed deeply, tears welling up in his eyes. Commander Wang was also at a loss.
"Hanhan, quickly take Grandma Wang next door, hurry up!" Qin Xiaoyu turned around and found her savior. Hanhan and her younger sister rushed over and supported Commander Wang on either side as they went out the door.
"You can all leave now." Qin Xiaoyu chased all the students out.
"Tell me how much you want," Qin Xiaoyu said to Xu's mother, waiting for her to make an exorbitant demand.
"I only wanted a few thousand yuan, just enough for my daughter to buy an apartment. But she beat me up today, so she has to pay for medical expenses. Give her ten thousand." When Xu's mother saw Qin Xiaoyu's attitude, she knew that Qin Xiaoyu had softened.
"What? Ten thousand! You might as well just strangle me with a rope!" Master Wang grabbed Xu's mother by the collar, snot and tears streaming down his face as he rammed his head against her.
"Master, please don't be like this. Your blood pressure is not good. Don't get angry. I'll handle it." Qin Xiaoyu pulled Master Wang and helped her sit down to the side before turning to Xu's mother and saying, "To tell you the truth, there's too much money. I can't come up with it."
"If you can't come up with the money, I'll come every day and see who can outdo whom!" Mrs. Xu was getting serious, and Qin Xiaoyu knew she meant what she said.
Bang! The door was kicked open, and Qi Si walked in.
"What? I heard that someone came to ask for money?" Qi Si's appearance frightened Xu's mother quite a bit, and she immediately cowered and shrank into the chair.
"Brother, wait for me in my office for a moment. I'll go after I've taken care of these things."
"Don't try to get rid of me like that. You're soft-hearted and let people bully you, but I can't stand it. Bullying my sister is no different from slapping me in the face!" Qi Si retorted defiantly.
"Brother, please. This isn't as simple as you think. Let me handle it, okay? Go to the office, I'll be right there."
Qin Xiaoyu insisted, so Qi Si had no choice but to turn around and walk out.
"That young widow is quite capable; she's managed to hook up with Qi Si." Mrs. Xu's words were rather sarcastic.
“Master, I didn’t think this through. Although I didn’t discuss it with you when I opened the school, without the foundation you laid for me, the school wouldn’t have been able to open. So it’s only right that I give you money.” Qin Xiaoyu first reassured Master Wang.
"Aren't you contradicting me?" Master Wang shook his head desperately, crying until he was weak.
"Master, don't be anxious, let me finish." Qin Xiaoyu turned to Xu's mother and continued, "Now that your daughter is about to give birth, my master is a very traditional person. Your daughter will be supporting my master in his old age, so it's normal for my master to give you money now. It's just that I don't have enough money right now. Give me a few days, and I'll make up the difference. But let's make it clear, once I get the money, it's considered a contract, and you're not allowed to cause any more trouble."
"Okay, give me the money and I won't cause any more trouble." As soon as she heard that she would be given money, Mrs. Xu jumped up, and her injuries no longer mattered.
"Come next Monday. I won't see you off."
After Mrs. Xu left, only Master Wang and Qin Xiaoyu remained in the house. Qin Xiaoyu walked up to Master Wang, squatted down, took her hand, and whispered, "Master, consider this money as a way to avert disaster. Your daughter-in-law is about to give birth and can't withstand this ordeal. Just let it go this time."
"Xiaoyu, I can't say anything about what you've done." Master Wang covered his eyes with one hand and refused to look away. Qin Xiaoyu could only sigh, get up and walk out.
Qi Si stood at the window looking out and saw Qin Xiaoyu come in. He quickly asked what was going on.
