"Miss, the Jiang family is coming!" Xiaoxi always paid attention to the Jiang family's movements. When she saw the Jiang family coming, she quickly said
Su Wenyue had already gotten up and taken care of herself. When she heard Xiaoxi say that people from the Jiang family were coming, she was not in a hurry and just continued to sit there. In Xiaoxi's opinion, this was too calm.
"Han Yu's wife, come out here, you cruel woman, what did our Chunlan do to you? It's fine that you stole her husband, but now you have harmed her like this. If you don't give us an explanation, don't blame us for being rude!" Yang Juxiang shouted outside. This time she brought so many people with her, she felt confident and yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Xiao Xi, go see which shrew is yelling outside?" Su Wenyue's voice was not too loud, just loud enough for the people outside to hear.
Yang was already angry, and she became even more furious after hearing what Su Wenyue said: "Su Wenyue, what did you say? How dare you call me a shrew? I am your elder after all. You little bastard, do you know what it means to respect your elders?"
At this time, Xiaoxi had already opened the door, and Su Wenyue and the Jiang family were face to face.
"Oh, it's you, auntie. I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you! I just heard the shouting outside, and it was clearly the same as those shameless shrews in the village. My aunt has lived in the Han family for so many days, and I still have some understanding of my aunt. She is very reasonable. The difference between before and after is too big, and I didn't associate my aunt with those shrews for a while, so I didn't hear it. Don't mind it, auntie!" Su Wenyu said with a chuckle. Although it was clearly an explanation, every sentence irritated Yang Juxiang's nerves, making Yang Juxiang's face even uglier.
This time he was mocking her! If she didn't hear such obvious words, she would be dead. Yang Juxiang glared at Su Wenyue hatefully, but she couldn't say anything to refute. Su Wenyue was too cunning and treacherous, and her flowery words were unacceptable to her, a country girl.
"What's wrong, aunt? I see you don't look well. Did you not get enough rest these days? That's right. Cousin Chunlan did such a thing. As her family, it is reasonable to feel ashamed and worried. No wonder aunt can't sleep well. After all, it's rare to see a girl as bold and disrespectful as cousin Chunlan. But aunt still has to take care of herself. Don't get sick because of cousin Chunlan. That's not worth it!"
Su Wenyue tried to comfort Yang with good intentions again. Yang was no longer angry, her heart and lungs ached with anger. She came here just to seek an explanation for her daughter's matter. She thought Su Wenyue would show weakness or even shirk responsibility. She had already made plans, but she didn't expect Su Wenyue to not follow the routine at all. She even took the initiative to bring up Chunlan's matter without showing any guilt.
Not only Yang Juxiang, but also the Jiang family members who came with her, were all angry when they saw Su Wenyue being so "arrogant". Among them were Jiang Chunlan's brothers and sisters-in-law. Although they didn't really like Jiang Chunlan that much, Jiang Chunlan was a member of the Jiang family after all, and protecting her was a common mentality. Su Wenyue was slapping the Jiang family in the face, so how could they not be angry? !
Xiaoxi didn't expect her young lady to be so powerful. She had been thinking that she would refute the Jiang family when they mentioned Jiang Chunlan, but the young lady actually mentioned it herself and made the Jiang family look so shameless. She admired her even more in her heart. However, the young lady's behavior had offended the Jiang family badly. In order to prevent the Jiang family from suddenly taking action, Xiaoxi protected Su Wenyue more strictly.
"Su Wenyue, don't go too far. As a mother, how can I not understand Chunlan's personality? She is not the kind of person you said. You must have set a trap for my Chunlan. Don't think you can shirk your responsibility with just a few words. Since we can come to your door today, don't think you can send us away with a few words!"
"Oh? Then what do you want?" Su Wenyue raised her eyebrows
"Since we are relatives, I won't bother you with what you did. As long as you go and talk to the county magistrate and ask him to release Chunlan and compensate us with fifty taels of silver, the matter will be over. We can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, our Jiang family is not so easy to bully." Yang Juxiang said with her head held high, as if this was a bit of an advantage for Su Wenyue.
Su Wenyue was not surprised at all. She knew that the Jiang family made such a big fuss and put down their farm work to come all the way here. Naturally, it was not just for Jiang Chunlan. They came to take the opportunity to ask for benefits. Fifty taels of silver seemed like a big appetite. Even the wealthy families in the village might not be able to earn five taels of silver in a year.
Xiaoxi was infuriated by the Jiang family's shamelessness. It was Jiang Chunlan who had done something wrong, but the Jiang family still dared to ask for benefits at a high price. She had never seen anyone so shameless.
"Fifty taels of silver, do you know how much that is? How dare you ask for such a high price? I don't think you have ever seen so much silver in your life!" Xiao Xi snorted coldly.
Yang Juxiang just thought that Su Wenyue was the daughter of the Su family and was rich, so she naturally couldn't ask for less. Anyway, a daughter of a wealthy family wouldn't care about such a small amount of silver, so she casually decided on fifty taels. Even if Su Wenyue disagreed and bargained, she could still get thirty taels of silver. She felt a little guilty when she heard Xiaoxi say that, but she couldn't show weakness.
"You little rascal, your master hasn't said anything yet, and now it's your turn to act wild! What's wrong with fifty taels of silver? You sent my beautiful daughter to the county government office, and her life has been ruined by you. Isn't it worth fifty taels of silver?"
"Of course it's not worth it. A good maid only costs more than ten taels of silver. A country girl like your daughter is not pretty and not smart. She can only be sold for seven or eight taels of silver at most. Even if you sell your whole family, she may not be worth so much money. You really think you are nothing." Xiaoxi's words are so infuriating that it is impossible to bear the consequences.
"Fuck you, what are you talking about! You little girl, how dare you be so arrogant in front of so many of us? Mom, let's not waste time talking to them, let's give them a good beating first and make them behave themselves." The eldest son of the Jiang family is a simple-minded man with a bad temper. He has been impatient after listening to what has happened and wants to solve the problem with his fists.
The Jiang family members were all indignant after being ridiculed and bullied by Su Wenyue and her servants. After hearing what the eldest brother of the Jiang family said, they all felt that it made sense and were eager to try. Facing two unarmed weak women, even the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family could beat them.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Seeing that they were about to take action, Xiaoxi protected Su Wenyue and felt that the Jiang family was more shameless.
At this time, Han Hu and Han Quan heard the news that the Jiang family was causing trouble and rushed back from the fields. They saw a large group of Jiang family members gathered at the door of the fourth brother's house.
