Chapter 9 Settlement of Accounts
"It is necessary. My prospective son-in-law cannot be bullied in vain." Su Chunlin was gearing up for a big fight.
The next day I went to Ximen Village in person.
Ding was chatting with a group of women at the entrance of the village. When she saw Su Chunlin passing quickly in front of her, she was stunned for a moment and jumped up on the spot, "Su Chunlin, you dare to come to our village! You dare to come to our village! Stop!"
Su Chunlin saw Ding from afar, but he just didn't want to mess with her, so he ran away so fast.
Ding didn't expect that Su Chunlin would run faster the more she shouted, so she decided that he was guilty of committing a crime and immediately chased after her.
Su Chunlin came to Mo's house and saw Mo Laotian as soon as he entered the door. Without saying anything, he rushed forward and punched Mo Laotian.
Ding, who followed, screamed in fright.
After hearing the news, Mo Laotian's wife and daughter came out and saw Mo Laotian being beaten. They all picked up the guy and rushed over.
Su Chunlin grabbed Mo Laotian's collar angrily and roared, "Shen Ping is dead! But Liu Laosan and I are still alive, and Shen Yi is not an orphan without support!"
When Mo Laotian's wife and daughter heard the name Shen Yi, their angry expressions instantly turned into guilty ones.
It took a while for Mrs. Guan to collect herself, and stepped forward to reprimand, "Don't hit people no matter what! Besides, our family has made it clear to Shen Yi and gave him a bag of grain. He didn't come to make trouble before, but now he comes here. Is it possible that we are too generous?”
Mo Chunxiang nodded vigorously following Guan's words, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "I insisted on canceling the marriage, but I just don't like him. What's wrong? If anything comes to me, don't look for my parents!"
As he said that, Mo Chunxiang rushed over and pulled Mo Laotian behind him with all his strength, as if you could do anything to me.
Su Chunlin originally came here with a purpose, but he didn't expect to hear such words. He became completely angry and yelled at Mo Chunxiang, "Sir, what are you talking about, you girl, what are you mixing up in your movie? You know what it means to be a matchmaker ordered by your parents." You have good parents, but you have no education at all! How can a bag of grain repay your father’s debt for saving his life?”
In all her life, Mo Chunxiang had never been scolded by someone. When she saw Su Chunlin's fierce look, she was so frightened that she burst into tears.
Guan was so distressed that she stood in front of Mo Chunxiang like an old hen protecting her calf and pushed Su Chunlin away, "My family's affairs are none of your business! Calling my daughter uneducated? No matter how uneducated my daughter is, she is better than you." A stupid daughter is strong!”
Su Chunlin was so angry that he threw away Mr. Guan and shouted at Mo Laotian: "There is no need for women to interfere in men's affairs. Mo Laotian, I am here today. You must give an explanation to the Shen family. Otherwise, I am not afraid of wearing shoes when I am barefoot. Tomorrow Just go to the town and make things big, so that you, Mo Laotian, will be famous all over the country!"
"You are shameless!" Guan almost fainted from anger.
Mo Laotian's face turned pale. He knew that they were in the wrong, so he ignored his sore cheeks and asked Guan to take Mo Chunxiang back to the house. Then he politely welcomed Su Chunlin into the house.
Seeing that Su Chunlin was about to run away, Ding rushed out and stopped him, "Stop! My son said it was your stupid daughter who injured him! You must give me an explanation for this matter!"
Su Chunlin squinted his eyes and looked deeply at Ding. He didn't show any panic at all, but his eyes made Ding feel furry.
She instinctively retreated, but when she thought that this was Ximen Village, she felt emboldened again, "Don't think that I'm afraid of you because you're a man! Anyway, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving Ximen Village!" Su Chunlin laughed suddenly, "What? Do you still want to arrest me?"
Mo Laotian hurriedly reconciled, "Brother Chunlin, don't be angry. We are all honest country people and we don't do such illegal things."
Hearing this, Ding groaned unwillingly, but had no intention of giving in.
Su Chunlin smiled sarcastically and said, "I found it strange that so many young men came to your village that day. Later, my son said that Xiong Dao led a group of people to beat him, and many people saw it. How can you do this? I can't let it go! For the sake of his retribution, I didn't plan to care about it. Since you insist on pestering me, then we will report it to the official and let the town official make the decision. If Xiong Dao's injury was not caused by my daughter, this matter I will never let things go!"
He was so fierce and determined, which really shocked Ding and Mo Laotian.
Mo Laotian made a decision immediately and drove Ding away impatiently, "Okay, the situation that day was already very chaotic. You even went to so many families and couldn't find out the reason. Just rely on your son's words." I just want the girl from the Su family to take responsibility. What a dream! Besides, if the girls from the Su family don't work, how could they have the strength to hurt your son like that? It would be pointless to find someone to hold him accountable! "
Ding was dissatisfied, but she also knew that the man in the family was not here, so she could not get any benefits if she continued to stay, so she could only leave in anger.
After Ding left, Su Chunlin put his hands behind his hands, glanced at Mo Laotian calmly, and said thoughtfully: "I am here today, and I just want you to bring a message to the Xiong family. Our Su family does not cause trouble and is not afraid of it. My eldest brother is not the same in the county. I don’t have any connections at all. If the Xiong family can really produce evidence to prove that my daughter injured Xiong Dao, I will admit it! If you can’t prove it and still dare to lie outside, don’t blame me for starting a new feud with them! Let’s settle old grudges together.”
Mo Chunxiang and her daughter, who were eavesdropping in the room, looked at each other, feeling aggrieved, angry and helpless.
Mo Laotian laughed twice and kept nodding, "Brother Chunlin, what about Shen Yi."
Su Chunlin waved his hands and said to himself: "It's your problem that your daughter hasn't been educated well. I'm not here to listen to your difficulties today. If you say you regret your marriage, you regret it. Who in a serious and good family would do this? That bag of grain can at best be considered a regret in your family's marriage. Can the Shen family’s apology be worth the life-saving grace they received back then?”
"We can't, we can't. We definitely can't!" Mo Laotian looked ashamed when he mentioned what happened back then, but his attitude of admitting his mistake was quite sincere.
Seeing him like this, Su Chunlin's anger finally subsided a little, "Since you can't, just remember it first. It's hard for everyone now, and you can't pay it back. I'll ask you one last time, do you really care about the marriage between Shen Mo's family?" No more?”
Mo Laotian's eyes were full of struggle. At this time, there was a sound in the room. Mo Laotian sighed helplessly and nodded heavily, "No more!"
"Then don't regret it!" Su Chunlin turned around and left angrily, without even looking at Mo Laotian.
As soon as he left, Guan and her daughter immediately ran out of the house.
Mo Chunxiang stamped her feet and gritted her teeth, pointed in the direction Su Chunlin left and cursed, "If the eldest brother, the second brother, and Xiong Kai hadn't all gone to Canglan River to get water, how could he be so rampant! I'm so angry, ah."
"That's right! Don't worry, Xiang'er, his daughter is a fool. She must have come to find trouble after knowing that Xiong Kai broke off the engagement with his daughter and immediately proposed marriage with you. Why stand up for Shen Yi? Damn! Is he really that kind? If he wants to repay his kindness, why doesn't he marry his daughter to Shen Yi?" The more Guan thought about it, the more he felt that he was right.
Even Mo Laotian looked like he was suddenly enlightened, and the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated.
