Su Nanxi asked, "Otherwise what?"
She had already assumed it was nothing serious. She hadn't been crushed, and the only problem was that the food above had fallen and gotten her all dirty. If anything had happened, she certainly wouldn't have shirked responsibility and wouldn't have hesitated to pay the money she was owed!
However, she won't spend a single penny more than she should!
If a child is frightened and cries loudly, that's acceptable compensation, but nothing else!
It's not entirely the Mo family's fault. The families of those two unruly kids were right there, within arm's reach, watching from the sidelines. They failed to keep a close eye on their children, which is their dereliction of duty, and they also bear an unshirkable responsibility!
Because the donkey cart couldn't carry too many people, only the boy's mother and grandmother went along, while the rest of the Zhou family stayed at the Mo family's house.
It wasn't that they didn't believe the doctor; they just wanted to make trouble and force Su Nanxi to pay them money!
In crowded places in town, it's best to get emotional, especially if they feel their child is hurt. If they cry and complain, many people will definitely take their side.
The public has always sympathized with the vulnerable, especially poor children!
So, on their way here, these girls exchanged glances and made a plan: if Su Nanxi refused to give it to them, they would make a scene in the street, since they weren't afraid of losing face!
Su Nanxi, on the other hand, has a shop in town that she runs, so she definitely values her reputation more than they do!
At this moment, upon hearing Su Nanxi's counter-question, Madam Zhong stopped beating around the bush and directly stated her thoughts, "It's a fact that my grandson was pinned down in your house, it's a fact that he got all dirty, it's a fact that he was frightened, it's a fact that you can't deny that, can you?"
Su Nanxi nodded, "I won't deny it!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhong was very happy and continued, "My grandson was perfectly fine before, but now he's like this. It's your responsibility! It's not enough to just take him to the doctor! If he develops any health problems or fears later on, that's no small matter! So, even if you don't let us take him to the doctor anymore, you still have to give us money for his future treatment, right? We don't need much, just two or three taels of silver will do!"
Li, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, chimed in, "That's right! Nobody knows what will happen next. Some things are unseen. And since you won't let us see a doctor again, we're still uneasy! Just give us the money, and we'll treat him ourselves. My grandson was trapped the longest, and he's injured inside too. Four or five taels will be fine."
Zhang and Yang nodded in agreement, saying it didn't matter if it was a little less, they could ask for more later!
This is much better than the method I thought of before. Before, I thought of using the recipe to do business, which would be exhausting to make money. Now I don't have to work hard. I just need to complain that my child is feeling unwell, which is a lingering problem from before, and the money will keep coming in!
These women are really dreaming! They don't have a single worry or concern for the child in their eyes; all they have are calculations and expectations!
Xiao Wu was about to lose his temper. He didn't hit women, but he did hit beasts!
What kind of person would scheme against even children?
However, since his master had not given him a signal, he could not act on his own, otherwise he would ruin his master's plans.
Su Nanxi listened but did not answer. She looked at the crowd not far away and finally looked at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu immediately understood and nodded to her, assuring her that he was ready.
Su Nanxi turned around calmly and said indifferently, "Don't give me that nonsense. You know best why the child climbed on the table and why you were sitting next to it. I'm not calling you out on it to save face, not because I'm stupid! Don't push your luck! The doctor examined the child and said he's fine, perfectly healthy! So we, the Mo family, have fulfilled our responsibilities. The rest is your responsibility. However, the Zhou family and the Mo family are relatives, so we will give you some compensation out of humanitarian considerations, but it's not something we owe you! Don't think about anything else!"
Upon hearing this, the group of people were displeased. They thought the Mo family had fulfilled their responsibilities, but based on the doctor's words, they had nothing left. Wouldn't their child have been injured for nothing?
Is this even human language?
That's so unfair!
What happened to them occurred in the Mo family. No matter what, the Mo family bears responsibility and cannot shirk it!
What responsibility could they possibly have? If a child is injured at the Mo family's home, it's because the Mo family failed to take proper precautions and should bear full responsibility!
Anyway, when they arrived at the Mo family, the child was perfectly fine!
Li suppressed her anger and asked curtly, "So how much are you planning to give?"
The others were curious too, so they all looked over; they wouldn't stand for it if they weren't there!
Su Nanxi looked at the crowd again, and when she saw Mo Qinghe's figure, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, and then she lowered her eyes.
He replied casually, "Two or three hundred coins!"
What!
Two or three hundred coins?
This is just to fetch a beggar!
The Mo family has so much money, yet they only give them such a tiny bit. What does that mean? Do they want to humiliate them?
That's outrageous!
They're bullying their poor relatives!
Other people would help their relatives when they have money, but the Mo family is different. Not only do they not take the initiative to help, but now they also bully them!
They should ask the people on the street what the logic is.
Should we still keep relatives like this?
They want to expose the Mo family's ruthlessness, irresponsibility, and bullying of their poor relatives!
This ugly woman clearly doesn't want to pay and is trying to escape. Don't even think about it!
They were counting on this money to get through this period; their family was almost starving, and without it, how could they survive?
Isn't this trying to drive them to their deaths?
What a cruel heart!
I dare not do anything, but today I'm making a deposit, not a penny less!
Although the streets are dirty, people are willing to pretend to be blind for money and roll around on them dozens of times!
You have to put on all your acting skills, cry as hard as you can, and shout as loudly as you can. There's no shortage of onlookers on the street!
Su Nanxi knew these people had this idea, so she wasn't surprised. She remained calm and watched the people putting on a show. She chuckled and thought, "After all, you can't be too nice to people!"
You're kind to someone, and they stab you in the back!
Consider those vegetables a lesson learned. Luckily, they were all thrown away. Since they were dirty, we'll just feed them to the dog. The dog will wag its tail to show its gratitude after it's full!
The group's loud crying and commotion immediately attracted a lot of onlookers to the scene!
As they listened, they started discussing it, and in the end, they all criticized Su Nanxi, saying that Su Nanxi was a terrible person who wouldn't let the child see a doctor and wanted the child to die in pain. Not only would she not let the child see a doctor, but she also wouldn't give him a single penny!
Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, enduring the agonizing pain!
But if his master doesn't move, he can't move!
Just bear with it a little longer!
Suddenly a stern shout rang out, "What are you doing! Scatter! Everyone scatter! Anyone who obstructs official business will be dragged to the yamen!"
