Chapter 322: Debt

Translator: Lonelytree
Xiao Lingyu didn’t want to care about Zhang Chunjiao. However, that didn’t mean that someone around Xiao Lingyu would ignore this woman.
‘Wen Zi was very angry when she heard Zhang Chunjiao’s words. However, people like her were calmer the angrier they were.
She looked at Zhang Chunjiao and said with a smile, “Auntie, I advise you to keep your mouth shut. If you want to talk about retribution, I’m afraid that people like you will get it first.
“You were caught doing the vertical tango with your old flame in broad daylight, and that caused your daughter’s marriage to dissolve. And you even have a criminal record.
“On top of that, I heard that your maiden family has disowned you because they were too ashamed of you. You’ve ruined your nephews and nieces’ potential marriages.
“Oh. I heard that Uncle Fugi turned to alcohol due to the shameful things you did. In his drunkenness, he beat you up because he thought he was in a brawl. Auntie, is that true?”
Then, Wen Zi stared at Zhang Chunjiao’s face, causing the latter to shiver. Wen Zi then giggled. She pointed at the green patch on Zhang Chunjiao’s forehead and said, “I’m sorry, Auntie. I didn’t notice that the fist-sized purple mark on your face was your wound. I thought that that was makeup.”
Most of the people in the hall could not help but twitch their lips. The young lady’s tongue was really sharp. Most people would be too embarrassed to talk about these things, but the girl rolled it all out.
Zhang Chunjiao mocked Xiao Lingyu, and this girl countered back with ten times the force. Every sentence was an insult.
Zhang Chunjiao was so angry that her whole body was trembling, Her face turned red. She was embarrassed and angry. She knew she had made an embarrassment out of herself, so she rarely appeared in the village recently. She tried her best not to make herself known so that the villagers would forget
about her embarrassing incident.
However, the girl had brought up her scars again for everyone to listen to. It was simply outrageous.
She stretched out her hand and pointed angrily at Wen Zi. “You… you… you bitch, I’ll kill you!”
After saying that, Zhang Chunjiao’s slightly plump body directly rushed toward Wen Zi.
Xiao Lingyu was standing behind Wen Zi. Gong Tianhao was afraid of Zhang Chunjiao accidentally hurting her, so he directly pulled her into his embrace.
But who was Wen Zi? She was an elite bodyguard. If a peasant woman was allowed to hurt her and her master, she would become a joke in their industry.
Could she let that happen?
Of course not.
Thus, when Zhang Chunjiao rushed over, a bean appeared in Wen Zi’s palm. She flicked the bean and shot it at Zhang Chunjiao’s kneecap.
“Bang!” Zhang Chunjiao fell forward. She splattered face first.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then someone couldn’t help but laugh.
At this time, Wen Zi clapped her hands and said with a smile, “Auntie, I was ready to fight you, but you fell before the fight could even start. Is this what you call retribution?”
Everyone’s mouth twitched again. This girl’s mouth was really unforgiving. Her senior had fallen before her, but she didn’t have any sympathy. She even directly added insult to injury.
At the same time, no one stepped forward to help Zhang Chunjiao up.
After all, Zhang Chunjiao was very unreasonable here. Zhang Chunjiao also had a bad relationship with the villagers. She often spoke ill of others. In her eyes, the whole village owed her something. She was the only good person in the village.
Xiao Fuqi watched from behind. He saw his wife make a fool of herself. It was too ugly and too embarrassing.
He pushed through the crowd and walked out. With a dark face, he walked in front of Zhang Chunjiao and helped her up.
However, before she could steady herself, Xiao Fugi flipped his hand and gave her a big slap. It was crisp and loud.
The people watching from the side could not help but reach out and touch their own faces.
This slap was really too heavy.
Half of Zhang Chunjiao’s face quickly swelled up.
If it was in the past, Zhang Chunjiao would have quarreled with him. However, her temper had been quelled a lot recently.
She said she was not afraid of divorce, but her heart knew otherwise. With her reputation, she wouldn’t find another man to marry her. Plus, even with a remarriage, could she find a good man?
She was already in her 50s. A divorce would be too embarrassing.
If she married again, she would be someone’s stepmother. If she had to be a stepmother, she would prefer small children so that she could control them. However, people who would marry her would have adult children already. Would they be kind to her?
Therefore, she definitely preferred to stay with her own family. She had a son. In the future, at least her son could look after her.
“How embarrassing!” After Xiao Fuqi angrily slapped her, he started to scold her, “Zhang Chunjiao, if you want to embarrass yourself, go home. Don’t be a joke here!”
Zhang Chunjiao covered her face and didn’t say a word. This was completely different from before.
If it was in the past, she would definitely have scolded Xiao Fugi so badly.
However, the villagers were in a meeting. It was not the place for them to quarrel.
The village chief said, “Enough, Xiao Fugi. Everyone is still in a meeting. If you want to quarrel, go back to your home.”
Then, the village chief looked at Xiao Chengcai and said with disappointment in his eyes, “Xiao Chengcai, the evidence is already conclusive, but you are still stubborn and refuse to admit your mistakes. You even put all the blame on Lingyu. You really disappoint me.”
Xiao Chengcai said unwillingly, “Village chief, I didn’t say anything wrong. The Little Cattle King doesn’t benefit me, so why should I protect it? What can you do to me? Why don’t you arrest me and put me in jail then?”
The village chief didn’t say anything else and only asked sharply, “Why is it that more than 180 households in the village can go and pick up cow dung, but only your family can’t? Haven’t you thought about it?”
“Why else?” Xiao Chengcai said, “Isn’t it because my family has offended Xiao Lingyu?”
“Well, why did you offend her family for no reason?” The village chief was frustrated. “We’ll talk about the manure. At first, the Xiao Family allowed your family to pick the Little Cattle King’s manure. However, what your family did was so awful that the Xiao Family had to cut you off. Even I have to agree
with them!”
Xiao Chengcai’s family was in the wrong, but they turned the blame on others.
Xiao Chengcai pursed his lips and did not speak.
The village chief was right. The Xiao Family allowed Xiao Chengcai’s family to pick the Little Cattle King’s manure at first. Even after they refused to rent their land to Xiao Lingyu, she didn’t mind it. After all, the matter of renting was a business transaction. She didn’t place emotions in it. She still allowed
Xiao Chengcai’s family to come to pick up the cow dung.
Xiao Chengcai’s family wanted to develop their own patch of land, so be it.
But then…
They wanted to pick the manure, and they also wanted to plant strawberries. That was fine. However, they demanded Xiao Lingyu give them the strawberries seeds.
Just how shameless was this family?
They wanted Xiao Lingyu to hand everything over to them without having to contribute anything themselves? It was too much.
Even a saint would be pissed.
However, Xiao Chengcai didn’t think that way. He said, “Their family is just petty. They forbade my family from picking the cow dung for such a small matter. Everyone’s crops are growing beautifully, but mine are dying.”
After the village chief heard this, he was about to say something when Xiao Lingyu said, “Village chief, forget it. Uncle Chengcai has entered a state of paranoia. No matter what you tell him, he will only believe that he is right.”
Xiao Chengcai pursed his lips and did not say anything, which meant that he silently agreed.
The village chief sighed lightly.
Following that, Xiao Lingyu said coldly to Xiao Chengcai, “Uncle Chengcai, can you really sleep well at night after betraying my family? Regardless, since you think that is not wrong, I don’t intend to pursue it, but.
Xiao Lingyu changed the topic and said sharply, “Since your family already has money, shouldn’t you compensate my family? You have divorced Auntie Zhang, but you still share half of the debt. That is a total of 54,000 RMB.
“You’ve been working for my family, but you earn less than 500 RMB. So you still need to compensate me 53,500 RMB. Since your family now has at least 40,000 RMB, Uncle Chengcai, please pay me back what you owe my family..”
