It was indeed Liu Guifang outside the door. Although she was a neighbor, they were not close to each other.
"What do you think we should do about this?" Liu Guifang went straight to the point and stated her purpose.
She was about 1.56 meters tall, much shorter than Su Qinghu, but she was not afraid of losing and was very angry.
Su Qinghu smiled: "What are you talking about?"
She just stood at the door, with no intention of inviting Liu Guifang in to talk. She was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither shy nor annoyed, but the tone of her voice sounded like a complete provocation to Liu Guifang.
What else do you dare to ask?
She frowned and said, "Two things, you need to explain everything to me today!"
If you don't give her a satisfactory explanation, this vixen will never be able to continue working in the workplace!
"Which two things?" Su Qinghu glanced at Erdan, who had been tugging at her clothes, and rubbed his head with a smile. Then she looked at Liu Guifang and said in a calm tone, "You have to explain it clearly, then I can give you an explanation."
Liu Guifang thought she was just trying to play dumb and get away with it. She gritted her teeth and said with a forced smile, "Since you're not ashamed of it in front of everyone, I don't mind saying it again."
She looked at the people gradually gathering around her, curled her lips, and said contemptuously, "First, your eldest son is a hooligan. Second, your second son has plucked all the pomegranates from my pomegranate tree."
As soon as Liu Guifang finished speaking, Erdan was so angry that he wanted to rush over, but unfortunately Su Qinghu pinched the back of his neck, and with her threatening eyes, he pursed his lips and stood beside her without saying a word.
The onlookers looked at Erdan, then at Su Qinghu, without saying a word. Judging from their facial features, the mother and son's ages didn't match.
Stepmother and stepson?
Almost immediately, everyone's eyes lit up with interest. Cases of men abandoning their wives and marrying beautiful young girls have been popping up all the time in recent years. Could this be one of them?
Su Qinghu didn't know what others were thinking, so he just nodded at Liu Guifang and said, "Things have to be solved one by one. Let's list them in order, starting with the first thing you mentioned."
Liu Guifang didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.
"How old is your daughter?" Su Qinghu asked.
Liu Guifang frowned, "Why are you asking this?"
Su Qinghu looked at her with a smile, without saying anything, as if she would not go on unless Liu Guifang answered her.
Finally, Liu Guifang lowered her head and said impatiently, "Thirteen years old."
"Do you know how old my son is?" Su Qinghu continued to ask.
Liu Guifang was angry. "What does your son's age have to do with me?! Does being a hooligan have to be different from being young or old? Even if he is young, it's still a fact that he is a hooligan!"
He pointed at a place not far behind Su Qinghu and shouted angrily, "Come out here, you little bastard!"
Su Qinghu leaned slightly to the side and saw Dadan coming towards her, but she didn't try to stop him. She raised an eyebrow, then looked back at Liu Guifang, who was about to roll up his sleeves and hit him, and then she blocked him firmly. "Tell me, how did this kid behave like a hooligan?"
She smiled and spoke at the same pace. Liu Guifang became impatient. "How can you be so naughty? Can't you ask your own child? Come on, stop talking nonsense to me. If you don't handle this matter for me, we're not done!"
Su Qinghu turned to the young woman who had been keeping her head down beside Liu Guifang and asked, "Little girl, why do you think my son is a hooligan?"
The little girl looked up at her quickly, then quickly lowered her head without saying a word.
Liu Guifang's eyes were full of ridicule. "Why, are you still trying to scare the children?"
"Everyone is watching here. I'm speaking softly to your daughter than to you." Su Qinghu raised an eyebrow. "If this still scares your daughter, then I'm really more wronged than Dou E. Besides, she has the courage to tell you whether she's a hooligan or not, and she even dares to look at me, the victim. How can she be so timid..."
This was very interesting. The onlookers all looked at Su Qinghu. What victim?
Even Liu Guifang was stunned for a moment.
"Come!" Su Qinghu didn't immediately explain the confusion to them. Instead, he waved to Dadan. When he came closer, he raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "This is my eldest son, Zhang Anyan. He is nine years old this year."
Everyone looked at him and was amazed. This kid is so handsome! He's the kind of handsome guy who looks smart! He's tall and straight, and has a powerful presence!
"Not only is he smart and well-educated, he's also incredibly helpful." Su Qinghu glanced at Liu Guixiang and her daughter, his eyes cold. "On the day my son came back, the day you accused him of misbehaving, his coat was missing."
"Although the coat may not be worth much, it is the only piece of clothing the child has that is not patched or mended."
Seeing that Liu Guifang didn't understand what she meant at all, Su Qinghu choked and said bluntly, "Ask your daughter where she put my son's coat?"
Liu Guifang: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is," Su Qinghu glanced at Dadan. Seeing him looking at her with shock in his eyes, she knew she was right and spoke with a firm tone, "My son's coat was used to cover up your daughter's shame!"
Before Liu Guifang could react, someone next to her called her. It seemed that they were acquaintances and whispered something in her ear.
Su Qinghu saw Liu Guifang's face turn red and her eyes flickered when she looked at her.
"Okay, remember to return the clothes to us." Su Qinghu smiled more appropriately, "Now let's talk about the second piece."
Liu Guifang didn't want to say anything anymore, but was frozen in place by Su Qinghu's threatening gaze.
"My second son was angry that you falsely accused his brother without asking for the truth, so he plucked all the pomegranate flowers from your house. Although there was a reason..." She emphasized the word "there was a reason", "but picking your pomegranate flowers is a fact, so he still has to pay compensation. Just tell me the amount."
Liu Guifang moved her lips, thinking of the money she made from selling fifty or sixty pomegranates from the pomegranate tree last year, and finally spoke, "Last year, those pomegranates sold for fifty-one yuan and ninety-eight cents."
Su Qinghu was shocked!
Careless!
Is fruit so expensive?
Seeing that she was silent, Liu Guifang said, "This year, the big apples in our market are selling for 1.2 yuan per jin. Even rare fruits like pomegranates were selling for 1.1 yuan per jin last year."
Su Qinghu forced a smile, and ignoring Erdan's attempt to pull at her clothes, she counted out fifty Big Unity banknotes and two dollars and handed them over.
Liu Guifang was about to reach out to take it, but Su Qinghu withdrew his hand. "It seems that you are quite satisfied with my handling of the two matters today. Now let's talk about what I am not satisfied with."
"You and your daughter have to apologize to my son, right?" Su Qinghu smiled. "Although you are seeking justice for your daughter out of a mother's heart, and I also appreciate your attentiveness, my son's innocence must still be cleared. Also, are you sure you can return that piece of clothing to us?"
Liu Guifang: "Yes! If that dress is gone, I can buy one for your son."
Dadan finally spoke up: "My clothes are a foreign brand, not cheap."
