Chapter 113 Incident
The young couple is so filial, showing such devotion to their deceased mother-in-law, yet they were cheated by a dishonest shopkeeper. Shouldn't they seek trouble?
Immediately, those who were moved by the two began to criticize the shopkeeper, and those who had bought ready-made clothes went home to check their own clothes.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the shopkeeper quickly laughed it off, saying, "Please forgive me, gentlemen. Perhaps one of our waiters was incompetent and sold you the wrong item. How about this, I'll give you a full refund for how much you paid for these clothes?"
The shopkeeper clearly wanted to downplay the matter, but the young couple obviously wasn't willing.
“You should return the money to us, of course, but you have to hand over this kind of shady business to the authorities. Otherwise, no one will know if you will continue to cheat others.”
The man stepped forward with an air of self-righteousness, ready to rid the people of a menace. Those who had initially been watching the spectacle realized he made a good point; they couldn't just let the shopkeeper get away with it like that!
So a group of people echoed each other, demanding that the shopkeeper be sent to see the authorities, while a group of women who had gone back to check their clothes also came to the door with their clothes in their arms.
In an instant, the shop was packed with people, and many started clamoring to drag the person to court and demand compensation.
No one noticed that the man and woman who had initially stepped forward, along with the middle-aged woman, had secretly slipped out of the crowd amidst the chaos.
Meanwhile, a similar scene was unfolding at a bakery on another street, except that the person causing trouble there was an old woman suffering from food poisoning.
In the south of the city, in a two-courtyard house, Chunxiang rushed in.
Upon seeing the woman in the courtyard, Chunxiang said, "Madam, something has happened to Miss."
"What?"
When Madam Li heard that her daughter was in trouble, she lost her grip and the wooden watering can fell to the ground.
"Tell me quickly, what happened to Yingxue?"
The speaker was none other than Gu Yingxue's biological mother, the woman from the Li family.
Upon hearing this, Chunxiang didn't hide anything and directly told the story of how Gu Yingxue had been beaten half to death by the old lady, and how the old lady had even fainted from anger at Gu Yingxue.
Upon hearing this, Madam Li's heart leaped into her throat.
"Big Ox, Big Ox, come out quickly."
In her haste, Madam Li called out to her husband, Li Daniu, from inside the house.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Daniu was lying in bed eating fruit when he heard his wife shout. He ran out without even putting on his shoes properly.
"Yingxue is in trouble. I heard she even made the old lady of the Gu family faint. What should we do?"
Although Madam Li was addressed as "Madam," she had grown up in the countryside and only knew what seeds to sow in what season. She had never actually made any decisions and could only look to her husband.
Li Daniu had never made any decisions in his life, but he was more composed than Madam Li.
Looking at Chunxiang standing to the side, Li Daniu asked, "Tell me first, what exactly happened to your young lady?"
When Chunxiang was asked, she immediately embellished the story of Gu Yingxue being beaten, and at the end she wiped away her tears and said, "Miss has been pampered all these years and has never suffered such grievances. Before, she was only confined to her quarters and her life was a little worse, but now she has been beaten so badly. If she continues to think like this, I'm afraid, I'm afraid she will be bullied to death."
Hearing Chunxiang say this, the already anxious couple became even more anxious.
"Da Niu, why don't we go and bring our daughter back? We're not doing badly now, we can't let Yingxue suffer."
