Chapter 17 Make the Fool Apologize
He was actually kicked away by this idiot?
After cursing, Shen Qingsong was about to get up and fight back, but as soon as he moved, he started shouting.
Dong Chunhua, who was far away, came out to call her son for dinner. Seeing this scene, she immediately howled and rushed over: "My son, you damn fool, why are you hitting my son..."
Shen Ning heard the noise and hurried out of the yard. At this time, a group of people had gathered in the open space outside the door. Dong Chunhua was dragging Xiao Nanchen and shaking him, "You fool, you dare to hit my son? I will beat you to death."
No one noticed that Xiao Nanchen's lowered eyes were filled with impatience and murderous irritability.
When Zhao Shuan saw Shen Ning coming out, he quickly shouted, "It was Shen Qingsong who bullied Zhao Nan first."
Shen Qingsong was furious: "Shuanzi, I'm going to fuck you..."
Dong Chunhua turned a deaf ear to him. When she saw the village head rushing over, she immediately cried out, "Brother head, you have to take charge. This idiot is too cruel. We can't let him harm others."
The village head frowned and said, "Everyone knows what kind of person your Shen Qingsong is. Stop it!"
At this time, Shen Ning had already checked the injuries of Shen Qingsong who was lying on the ground. After a pause, she said, "Don't move. One of your ribs is broken."
When Dong Chunhua heard this, she was so shocked that she sat down on the ground and started crying.
The people around him didn't expect that Shen Qingsong actually had broken ribs, and those who originally wanted to speak for "Zhao Nan" also shut up.
After all, in the countryside, the more seriously injured one is, the more justified.
"Oh my God, my ribs are broken. This is going to kill someone. Village head, please say something!" Dong Chunhua slapped her thigh and cried.
The village head also had a headache. He paused and looked at Shen Ning: "Madam Shen, look at this..."
These days, Shen Ning treated the villagers and her consultation fees were almost confiscated, with only the cost of the medicinal materials charged. Most people had completely changed their minds about her and were thinking of her kindness.
Zhao Shuan whispered to smooth things over: "Let Chen Ning cure Shen Qingsong for free."
"That's right, we are still relatives, a family."
Dong Chunhua was so angry that she was going crazy. What kind of family is this? This girl was not even willing to give her a meal, and now this idiot had kicked her son and broken his ribs.
She cried out, "I'm going to complain to the authorities. Oh my God, there's no law. My bones are broken."
The village head frowned and scolded: "We are just fellow villagers, why are you suing the officials... Chen Ning, otherwise, you can pay some money?"
Dong Chunhua cried out, "This matter cannot be resolved without two taels of silver. Oh my God, my son has suffered."
Shen Qingsong followed up by shouting: "I'll also make this idiot kowtow to me and apologize."
Xiao Nanchen stood there feeling annoyed.
He was actually envious of this thing just a moment ago?
I'm afraid he's crazy!
Chen Ning had originally planned to keep the peace, but when she saw the behavior of Dong Chunhua and her son, she suddenly changed her mind.
She asked Shen Qingsong: "Why did Zhao Nan kick you?"
Shen Qingsong was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering: "I'm not a fool, how would I know why he kicked me."
Zhao Shuan interrupted: "You always bully him."
Shen Qingsong gritted his teeth: "Shut the fuck up Shuanzi, everyone knows that you like Chen Ning."
Zhao Shuan's face turned red and he didn't dare to speak again.
At this time, Sister Lian'er squeezed out of the crowd and said, "I saw clearly just now that it was Shen Qingsong who wanted to steal Anan's candy."
Shen Qingsong was suddenly speechless.
Dong Chunhua glared at Lian'er angrily and continued to shout, "It was all just a joke, but that fool was so cruel."
"So he wanted to steal something."
Chen Ning snorted coldly: "Okay, let's report it to the police. I also want to ask the county magistrate, is it right to rob people's property? This candy is worth several coins. Shen Qingsong robbed things and bullied the mentally handicapped. Doesn't he deserve to be beaten? And he still wants to blackmail him? I think your family should just go to Black Cloud Village."
Heiyun Village is a bandit den near Pingning County. It has been causing troubles frequently recently, and the county is cracking down on it. Anyone who has any connection with Heiyun Village will be imprisoned and interrogated first.
Dong Chunhua suddenly became anxious: "How can you be so vicious? Shen Qingsong is your cousin and you actually want to have him thrown into jail, so vicious... You protect this idiot so much and even feed him such expensive food, a man and a woman alone, could it be that you and this idiot have something going on?
You just managed to get Zhao Shuan to speak up for you. You're such a slut."
Before Dong Chunhua finished speaking, Shen Ning raised her hand and slapped her in the face: "Wash your mouth clean before you speak."
Zhao Shuan was angry and regretful: "What nonsense are you talking about? Madam Shen has never paid any attention to me. Why is your mouth so foul? You are an elder, but you have a terrible heart."
Lian'er was also furious. "Everyone knows Shen Qingsong has bullied Anan many times, and now that he's asking for trouble, you're here to blackmail him, asking for two taels of silver right away... You keep saying you're related to Shen Ning, yet you're so vicious and shameless as to want to ruin her reputation!"
Lian'er's chest heaved with anger: "Zhao Nan is mentally retarded. If Chen Ning doesn't care about him, is she going to kick him out of the house? If it's as you said, having a man in the house means I can't be innocent. Then won't you be living under the same roof with your son?"
Shen Ning was still angry, but after slapping Lao Deng, she was no longer angry.
There's no point in getting involved with this kind of person. He's just like a mad dog biting randomly on the street. It's not worth getting angry about.
She was a little surprised to see that the usually gentle Sister Lian'er suddenly burst out with such strong fighting power.
Some people around her also criticized Dong Chunhua: "That's right, she's still an elder, but her mouth is like a dung spoon..."
Dong Chunhua couldn't stand up to so many people and cried, slapping her thigh: "I can't live anymore, everyone is bullying us!"
The village head couldn't stand it any longer: "Alright, Shen Qingsong was the one who caused the trouble today, Shen Ning will be responsible for curing him, Zhao Nan will apologize to Shen Qingsong, and the matter will be over, no one is allowed to make trouble again."
Dong Chunhua was thinking about the two taels of silver and wanted to make a scene, but she didn't expect Shen Ning to speak first. She threw a penny of broken silver on the ground and said, "I can't treat Shen Qingsong's injury. You can go find a doctor yourself. I will pay for the medical expenses, but I will never ask Zhao Nan to apologize."
Xiao Nanchen simply regarded what was happening in front of him as a farce. He had already investigated everything he wanted to investigate and was ready to leave.
But at this moment, the scene before him suddenly reminded him of something that happened many years ago.
He was ten years old at that time and had an argument with Xu Ning, the grandson of Xu Ge Lao. During the fight, he knocked out one of Xu Ning's teeth.
Xu Ning's tooth was already shaky, and besides, it was the other party who provoked him first.
But at that time, his mother would not listen to his explanation at all, because it was the critical moment of choosing the crown prince, and his mother needed the support of Lord Xu.
In order to win over Lord Xu to support his brother, the Queen Mother scolded him in public and forced him to apologize to Xu Ning.
It was just the mischief of children. Xu Ning was a little scared at the time and said that his tooth should have fallen out anyway, but his mother would not give in.
He, the dignified Seventh Prince, was forced by his mother to apologize to the ministers in public when he had done nothing wrong...
Just like many times later, he would step in to do things that the prince was not convenient to do, and he would deal with those who offended the prince. When the emperor asked for punishment, he was always the one who was pushed out to confess and be punished.
The Queen Mother said that the prince's dignity and virtue must not be compromised, just as his reputation and his joys and sorrows were all not worth mentioning.
Later, the Queen Mother often said that the Crown Prince was a gentle and virtuous heir, while he was a rebellious and unruly son...
"You're so protective of me, and you can't even apologize to a fool, and you still say you don't have a leg!"
Dong Chunhua continued to make random accusations despite everyone's accusations.
Someone next to him advised Shen Ning: “Otherwise, let Zhao Nan apologize, he doesn’t understand.”
Shen Ning's expression finally turned cold: "No matter whether he understands or not, no matter how big or small this matter is, the right and wrong must be clearly argued. He is not wrong, why should he admit his mistake?"
After she finished speaking, she said to Dong Chunhua, "Take your good-for-nothing son and get out now, or I'll go to the county and file a complaint, saying you have ties to Black Cloud Village and have him arrested and tried first."
Dong Chunhua was extremely shocked and furious: "You are making a false accusation!"
Shen Ning sneered: "Aren't you?"
It is unnecessary to reason with such people. We should treat them in their own way.
She sneered, "Either go to jail or take the money and get out. It's your choice."
After saying that, she turned around and pulled Xiao Nanchen: "Let's go back."
Xiao Nanchen turned around without saying a word.
Lian'er accompanied them inside, sighing softly, "Dong Chunhua has a poisonous and foul mouth. She'll probably slander you everywhere later... Anyway, Anan doesn't understand. Your reputation is more important."
Shen Ning didn't mind: "Even if he doesn't understand, he is still my family. I can't let him suffer because I am afraid of being at a disadvantage."
The most important thing is not to leave any bad impression in front of my king.
She wanted to be the most perfect sister-in-law and enjoy the highest wealth in the future...
Shen Ning's mind was full of the glory and wealth that would belong to her in the future, and she did not notice the slightly complicated look in Xiao Nanchen's eyes behind her.
Glancing at Shen Ning holding his hand, Xiao Nanchen frowned.
He still has no sense of propriety and doesn't know how to avoid suspicion. No wonder he attracts all those messy people...
Forget it, he was already preparing to leave, so he just left her some extra money.
As long as she remained obedient and mourned for Zhao Mu, he would not bother to pay attention to anything else. Out of sight, out of mind!
After a while, Xiao Nanchen was pushed to the table by Shen Ning.
The original hot pot simply turned into a stew. Shen Ning placed a bowl of food in front of Xiao Nanchen and gave him two sesame cakes.
"Eat it."
It felt like Xiao Nanchen seemed a little strange today, and was particularly silent. Thinking that he had just been frightened, Shen Ning comforted him: "It's okay, Anan, don't be afraid. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, you will fight back just like before."
She started eating while mumbling, "You have your sister-in-law to protect you."
Look how good my sister-in-law is. When you ascend the throne in the future, don’t forget to be my dearest sister-in-law...
However, today's meal was destined to be uneasy. Before I had taken a few bites, someone outside called out, "Is Chen Ning here?"
Shen Ning stood up: "Who is it?"
"I'm Zhao Jia. I just came back from Shihe Village. Your parents sent you a message saying your brother is seriously ill and asked you to go back and see him..."
