"What money? Who owes you money? Don't think you can act recklessly just because your Mo family has a little money. This old woman is not someone to be trifled with!"
Su Nanxi took the opportunity to sized up the old woman in front of her. She was really ugly!
Other people's old ladies are kind-hearted and gentle, but this old woman is the opposite; she looks sharp-tongued and mean-spirited. She looks a lot like some animals in the animal kingdom. Could it be that this old woman is related to them by blood?
Just stuff a few long fangs into her and you could put on a midnight horror movie. She's a rare, ready-made actress, no need for makeup at all!
It's unbearable to look at!
Su Nanxi had argued a lot and had learned some experience. She knew that you couldn't fight people like that head-on. They had skin thicker than a city wall and all sorts of skills in throwing tantrums and being unreasonable. There was not much chance of winning!
Besides, why ruin your image by shouting? It's too tiring and not worth it!
Su Nanxi broke off a blade of grass from the roadside, put it in his mouth, crossed his arms, raised his chin, and deliberately tilted his head to one side, looking roguish and nonchalant. He said, "Paying back debts is only right! Your granddaughter owes me money, so she has to work for me. If you pity her for being so tired, just give her the money! It's not much, just five hundred coins! I have proof, so don't accuse the Mo family of abusing their power!"
Hmm! He has a real thug vibe!
Speaking casually with a slightly lazy tone, Su Nanxi felt that she had a rather roguish air about her!
"What?! Five hundred coins! You might as well rob me!"
The old witch screamed, her voice extremely shrill and unpleasant!
Su Nanxi frowned and picked at her ear. "It's so noisy! What are you yelling about!"
Good heavens! Such a startled reaction! Ugly people are always causing trouble!
Staying here even a minute longer is a waste of life!
Su Nanxi lost her patience and rubbed her ears. "If your hearing isn't working, go see a doctor! I'm too lazy to argue with you; I need to go back for dinner! Your granddaughter owes me money, and she can't pay it. Now she has two choices: either she works to pay off the debt, or you pay it for her! I have evidence, so don't try to deny it! If she doesn't pay, I'll take you to court! She's just a child and can't pay, so naturally you, the head of the household, will pay! When you get there, give her a beating first. If she still refuses to pay, then throw her in jail! You decide what to do!"
This old witch, Chen, was just a commoner who couldn't read a single word and knew nothing about the law. However, she instinctively had great awe for the government, and her imposing manner would weaken at the mere mention of the government.
Is that a place an old woman like her could go? And if she went there, would she come out unscathed?
Didn't she know that this was a place where money talks and no one has to suffer? If she had no money, she would have been beaten up badly!
It seems this brat really does owe someone money, but what did she buy to incur such a large debt? Doesn't she know how hard it is to earn money?
You're going to die!
All they do is slack off all day long, and now they're even secretly buying things!
Wow, she's got some nerve! I'll give her a good beating when we get back!
Ask her to pay it back? That's impossible!
No money! Even if I had money, I wouldn't pay! Whoever owes it should pay it back!
They think they can fool her? So much money! They'd be faster robbing her!
Huh?! This money might be a lot of money for them, but it's probably just a small amount for the Mo family!
Old Witch Chen rolled her eyes, her tone softening considerably, "Well, anyway, your Mo family has plenty of money, so this little bit shouldn't be a problem. Let's just forget about it! We're all from the same village, we'll run into each other again soon, so please be more magnanimous, so we can meet again in the future, right? It's just a little money, let's not talk about it anymore, forget it! Talking about it too much will hurt our feelings!"
The two elders of the Liang family and Old Mrs. Mo were both so angry they laughed. What kind of person was this? Shameless!
What business is it of hers whether someone has money or not?
It is a matter of course to pay back debts; debts should never be forgiven just because someone is rich!
What are you thinking? You're dreaming so brightly!
Su Nanxi also thought this was truly bizarre, as if it was just there to make people laugh!
Who spoiled her with this habit!
Su Nanxi wasn't used to it. She spat out the grass in her mouth and immediately retorted, "Old woman, I don't think you've ever looked in a mirror in your life. Don't ask me how I know, your face is bigger than a washbasin. Even if you fell into a well, you wouldn't drown because your face is big enough to not fall in!"
Whether the Mo family has money or not is none of your business. Paying back debts is a matter of course, and no one can change that! Want to see you again? Who wants to see you?! The road isn't even as big as your face! What was I thinking, wanting to see you?! You think you're so generous? Then hurry up and pay back your money, otherwise don't act like a stingy person and call others generous. It's easy for you to talk like that! And you're talking to me about feelings? Do we have any feelings to speak of? I have no idea where this crazy woman came from! Coming to my field to act crazy without even announcing your name! If the crops are damaged, you'll have to pay for it!
"If you want to act like a tyrant, go home! If you want to dream, go back to your bed and lie there like a corpse! Anyway, I'm telling you, pay up! Or we'll meet at the yamen! No one can change your mind! The choice is yours!"
Old Witch Chen's face changed instantly, becoming much gloomy. Chen Ahua knew very well that her grandmother was angry, and she was a little scared.
But Su Nanxi wasn't afraid of this old woman. No matter how good she was to this shameless person, she wouldn't feel grateful. Afterwards, she might say, "You did it willingly, what does it have to do with me?"
Old Witch Chen got angry, her face contorting into a ferocious expression. "You ill-mannered ugly thing, who taught you to talk like that? I've lived for decades, and no one has ever dared to speak to me like that! You've got some nerve, daring to talk to me like that. I'm going to sue you for disrespecting your elders!"
Su Nanxi rolled her eyes. "You're out of your mind!"
Whether she's well-mannered or not is none of this old woman's concern!
Also, if people don't say anything, it's because they're too lazy to bother, afraid of trouble, and prefer to avoid getting involved!
They really think they're so great!
Tsk tsk! That's hilarious, they can't even figure this out!
"Alright! Let's go to the county government together! You can file your complaint, I'll file mine. We'll all be there anyway, so let's just get it all done at once and save the magistrate from having to go back and forth! But I heard that if you deliberately cause trouble and give the officers something to do, you'll be beaten half to death! Sigh! Forget it! That's none of our business! Let's go! Let's file our complaints together!"
The others didn't understand the law and didn't know how to interject, so they could only watch from the sidelines.
Old witch Chen was already in a rage, and what she said offhand was nonsense, without thinking. When she heard Su Nanxi call her to the county government, she panicked!
She wasn't really going; she didn't want to get beaten half to death!
Only a fool would go. There's no money; if she wants it back, she should pay it back herself!
Is she an old woman who can repay the money?
"I'm not talking to you anymore! I have a grandson to take care of! Whoever owes money should pay it back! I don't care!"
As the old witch Chen was about to leave, Su Nanxi called her back.
"You can leave, but leave my things behind!"
