Chapter 127 Blackmail
When Old Lady Chen saw that her door was broken, she looked again and saw that it was a child who had kicked it. She shouted angrily, "You little rascal, how dare you kick my door in? You must pay me. Without thirty taels, you can't leave!"
Song Chuman's mouth drooped, and she said with a look of grievance, "Didn't I just accidentally break your door? You actually want me to pay you thirty taels of silver. Thirty taels of silver can build a beautiful house in our village. You are blackmailing me, wuwuwu... wuwuwu..."
Song Chuman howled loudly, not caring at all about the eyes around her.
It is normal for a six-year-old child to cry when being blackmailed by adults. It is not shameful at all.
The onlookers heard the child crying and thought she was telling the truth.
They all stood up for justice.
"He family, you are too greedy. It's just a wooden door, and you actually want this kid to pay thirty taels? You might as well just rob him."
"How could she, a child, break your door? Your door must have been broken to begin with, and she's deliberately trying to extort money from you."
"Yes, doors are very important. We need to protect against thieves. If they break so easily, won't that attract thieves? You must have known that the door was broken a long time ago and deliberately didn't repair it, just waiting for someone to take advantage of you."
"Oh, I see. They're trying to blackmail this divorced woman. If she breaks the door again, they'll probably go to her parents' house and ask for another thirty taels of silver so they can marry another daughter-in-law."
"Oh my God, this is too insidious, damn it, too abominable!"
For a moment, many people looked at the He family with indignation.
Old Mrs. Chen and He Daquan were stunned.
They are the victims, why is the wind not blowing in their favor?
Mrs. Chen hurriedly explained: "You misunderstood, we really don't mean to extort money."
He Daquan also said: "It's not what you think at all!"
Sun Xiaohe had just come over. Seeing what was happening, he immediately inquired about the situation. He instantly understood what Song Chuman meant and shouted, "It's not what we thought. Weren't you the ones who asked for thirty taels of silver just now?"
Passerby A said, "I heard that too. Is your door inlaid with gold? And asking for thirty taels right away—if that's not extortion, what is it?"
Passerby B said, "I'm a carpenter. This door, even if I custom-make a new one, would only cost one or two taels of silver. Besides, this door isn't that damaged at all. If I just install it, the repair cost won't be more than five hundred wen."
Passerby C said, "Besides, this door is already worn and worn out, it's worthless. You can let a child replace your door and make a net profit of 29 taels. You're really dreaming."
Song Qingqing and her daughter looked at each other in shock. Did they hear it right?
Are all passersby on Aman's side?
Song Chuman continued to cry loudly: "Wuwuwu... Thirty taels of silver, I can't afford it even if I sell it. If my parents knew, they would definitely beat me to death, wuwuwu... I might as well just die."
Old Mrs. Chen and He Daquan were suddenly startled.
Oh no!
Sun Xiaohe said angrily: "Look, this child is going to die because of you. If you force this child to death, you are murderers and you will go to jail!"
Passerby A echoed, "That's right. How can an ordinary family afford thirty taels? Looking at the patched clothes on this child, you can tell her family isn't well off. You're asking for thirty taels, you're deliberately trying to kill her!"
