The next morning, Su Wan called Chi Jia to take her to the restaurant which was closest to the Lai family. She thought that she would be the only one there but to her surprise, she found her mother-inw, father-inw, headmaster Yuan and even Fei Qinfan sitting in the VIP box.
" What are you doing here?" She asked with a surprised look on her face. She did not expect that her inws woulde to watch the show as well. Were they not all about peace? Why did theye here? And they looked quite excited to watch the show as well.
" Humph, I know everything. Your father told me what these bastards tried to do to you, it''s only right that I see them get troubled with my own eyes," said Mother Lin with a twisted sneer. She was a gentlewoman but Su Wan was her daughter-inw and the mother of her grandchildren, if something happened to her then their family would have fallen to nothing but crumbles.
How could she not be angry upon knowing that this family tried to ruin her daughter-inw? She was not only here to watch the show but she was also here to see how terrible the condition of the Lai family bes once her daughter-inw''s n was done.
On the other hand, Headmaster Yuan and Fei Qinfan slurped on their noodles before Fei Qinfan said in a haughty voice, " I am here to watch how that woman''s ns fall apart. She is really annoying, it will be fun to watch her ns falling into shambles."
" I am just here for fun," stated Headmaster Yuan straightforwardly as he continued to watch the street through the window. " However that woman is quitete, next time make sure to pick a woman who knows the value of time, Xiao Wan. Look at this, she is sote… I have eaten more than two bowls of noodles and she is not here."
Su Wan did not know whether tough or cry when she heard the words of Headmaster Yuan. Was she someone who schemed against others daily? What did he mean by picking someone who was not tardy next time?
" Oh they are here," Fei Qinfan chimed a secondter causing everyone to turn their attention to the window even Su Wan walked over to the table and then sat down such that she could see what was happening through the window.
They all looked down on the street and to no one''s surprise they saw Madam Ding rushing towards the Lai family''s house with her mother who was old yet spirited.
What was even more surprising was that the old woman had actually brought three to four olddies along with her. They all rushed to the Lai family and then sat down where they started to cry and make a fuss. Your next chapter is on m v|l-e''-NovelBin
Seeing them rush and charge at the Lai family like this, the onlookers stopped as they had never seen something so funny like this before.
After all, this street was where the officials lived and the Lai family had taken a lot of pride in the fact that this street was where their house was located, never would they have thought that one day be embarrassed like this and this street would be a stage for others to humiliate them.
A few gentle aristocraticdies could not help but ask Old Madam Ding what was happening.
" What happened? My daughter''s life was ruined by that bastard that''s what happened," Old Madam Ding pped her thigh and then cried out loudly. " My daughter''s purity was ruined by that bastard! Her husband abandoned her in front of everyone like she was some trash on the roadside.
Now that I went to his house and asked him to give me the dowry back he refused and the Lai family wants me to hand them two thousand taels as dowry, can you believe it?"
" I am an old woman who is being beaten left and right by these heartless men. One divorced my daughter even when she was a victim and refused to pay the dowry and the other asked for two thousand taels of silver, where am I going to get the money? Aren''t they asking me to die?"
Madam Ding told her mother about the gold bracelet that her husband took away with him after watching the show. She told her that her mother that as long as they made a fuss they could get the ten taels of dowry as well as the golden bracelet which she would then hand over to her mother who could sell it and then live infort.
She even added that if they were lucky enough then they could get the temple to pay thempensation.
Thus Old Madam Ding gave it her all while performing in front of the others.
" My daughter went to a temple, the ce where everyone goes to pray. It''s a ce where blessings and prayers are collected and yet my daughter was ruined at such a holy ce! What were the guards doing? Why did they not stop that man from stopping my daughter inappropriately?
Now look at this she is divorced and the man refuses to pay back her dowry as he thinks she is embarrassing while the one who ruined her wants two thousand taels!"
" I am an old widow, I don''t even have two taels to rub together. You tell me what am I going to do now? My daughter was happily married, she served her elders and took care of the young ones now she is like this, you tell me how am I going to deal with this?
If the Lai family does not give me an answer today then I am going to head over to the county magistrate''s office and ask if the women in this city are even safe or not."
After speaking she banged her head on the ground loudly while crying like her heart was being torn apart.
