Chapter 389: 389: Qjngyue Loses Money 3
Like casual conversation, Liu Dayou could feel his scalp tingling as he listened, and he inexplicably didn’t dare to doubt the truth of her words. He suddenly regretted coming here.
Xiao Yuchuan was also furious, “Liu Dayou, you dare to come to my Xiao
Family and demand money? My wife is such a good person. It must have been Liu Zhengshi asking for a beating; otherwise, she wouldn’t have kicked her for no reason. Liu Zhengshi, that shrew, everyone in the village knows how fierce she is. She must have bullied my wife first!”
Liu Dayou originally thought that all the men of the Xiao Family were down, and with him helping his second Uncle, they would definitely take the upper hand and completely dominate the Xiao Family. He didn’t expect the Xiao
Family to be so united and turn the tables, “Many people in the village saw Su
Qingyue kicking someone with their own eyes, is your family trying to deny it?”
Liu Laoshi thought of his wife lying in bed at home, and being nagged every day about his incompetence and that the Xiao Family needed to compensate. He wouldn’t dare come alone. But now that he had his nephew Liu Dayou to boost his courage, he also became bolder, “The doctor cost three taels for my wife, just pay three taels for the medicine money.”
Liu Dayou disagreed, “Second Uncle, how could three taels be enough? My second aunt has been taking a lot of supplements these days. The Xiao Family had no money to even buy food recently, but they didn’t mention compensation. Now everyone in the village is saying that Xiao Family’s wife made an estimated twenty taels by selling the fried fern recipe. They still have to pay for the supplement expenses. We need at least 5 taels!”
“Hmph, five taels? Keep dreaming!” Xiao Yuchuan was so angry that he wanted to get down from the bed and fight Liu Dayou, but his body was not at its full strength, so he collapsed back on the bed.
Xiao Qinghe’s expression turned especially cold, “I believe Qingyue is not wrong.”
“You all want to cover up for Su Qingyue.” Liu Dayou came and did not intend to leave empty-handed, “Su Qingyue injured someone first and refused to compensate later.” Then he said to Liu Laoshi, “Second Uncle, we’ll go to the government office tomorrow and accuse her of injuring someone, and have her arrested to go to jail!”
Liu Laoshi was also very indignant, “We believe the officials will give us justice!”
When they heard about the lawsuit, the three men of the Xiao Family were just common people, they themselves were not afraid of going to jail, but they really feared that their wife would be caught by the government officials and enter the dark prison. She would definitely suffer. For a while, they didn’t know how to respond and fell silent.
Liu Dayou thought the Xiao Family was scared, “As long as you’re willing to pay five taels, this matter will be settled privately.”
Qingyue squatted down by the edge of the bed, removing the bamboo slices from Xiao Yishan’s broken leg, examining the injury in his leg, as she frowned slightly, “The wound that was healing has worsened again.”
Upon hearing her say that, Liu Dayou immediately said, “I didn’t fight with
Dashan, and the worsening of his injury has nothing to do with me.”
“Is that so? I, Su Qingyue, am not unreasonable.” She said faintly, “Indeed, it was wrong of me to kick Liu Zhengshi.”
“Then pay the money!” Liu Dayou became smug. “Wife…” Xiao Yuchuan was not giving up.
Xiao Yishan was also unwilling.
Qinghe, on the other hand, felt that his wife seemed to handle things calmly, as if she could grasp the overall situation. He found it oddly reassuring, and as such, he wasn’t in much of a hurry.
“Since my wife has also delayed the recovery of Dashan and Yuchuan’s injuries…” said Liu Laoshi, “Just pay three taels for the medicine, five taels isn’t necessary..”
