Li Meng looked at the scene in front of her. She wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
She always knew that her brother was a bastard. Her mother pampered him too much.
However, she didn’t expect this little bastard to steal things from the Jian family.
“Sister, don’t you know her? Hurry up and ask her to let me go!” The little bastard shouted.”It hurts so much. Mother, help me. They’re trying to kill me.”
Li Meng looked at the people in the courtyard.
They were only two meters apart.
However, the distance between them was vast. She felt humiliated and inferior.
“Li Meng, why are you spacing ou? Say something!” Xu Fang grabbed Li Meng and pushed her forward. “Don’t you see what situation your brother is in? Hurry up and ask them to let him go. Are you listening to what I said?”
“Enough! Don’t you all feel disgraceful?”
The courtyard turned quiet after Li Meng’s frustrated scream.
She scanned the crowd. When she saw Li Le, the anger in her eyes burned violently.
She must be the one that convinced her brother to steal from the Jian family. If not, how would her brother know that there were good things in the Jian family?
Li Le wanted to destroy her family.
“You have two choices.” Ming Shu looked at the quiet crowd and smiled. “Either you compensate for our loss, or we will send your son to jail.”
“What?” Xu Fang’s eyes widened.
In this era, not many villagers knew about public security and the law.
However, this village was near the town. They also had a road built since the Jian family was here so they knew a little about public security.
The rich and useless Ming Shu said, “My family is wealthy and powerful. I can make sure that your son will spend the rest of his life in jail.”
Ye West Wind looked at Ming Shu strangely.
The girl was very skinny and her face looked pale under the dim lighting. However, the smile on her face made her seem confident and arrogant.
She looked like those rich, useless daughters and sons that he knew.
Jian Shu… do you know how arrogant your sister is?
“How dare you!”
Xu Fang rushed forward and shouted at Ming Shu: “Why are you so evil at such a young age? My son just took a few things from you. Why are you putting him in jail? Who do you think you are?”
The village head couldn’t hold her back.
He decided to just let her do what she wanted.
It would be good for her to get beaten up a few times.
Xu Fang was thrown on the floor before she could get near Ming Shu. She was pinned on the floor just like her son.
“It is against the law to steal things. I didn’t frame him.” Ming Shu lowered her eyes and looked at Xu Fang. “He even hit my mother. You think that I will just let you go so easily?”
“Bullsh*t!”
Xu Fang cursed at her.
Her words were so obscene, the ladies at the scene couldn’t listen to her and covered their ears.
Her son was the one that stole things and yet, she thought that it was fine. There was no loss to Ming Shu’s family even if they stole some things from her. Her family was rich.
So rich people should let you steal from them?
Pa!
Xu Fang stopped her cursing.
The beautiful lady cleaned her hands arrogantly. “I don’t even dare to scold my baby. How dare you scold her.”
She was so angry.
“Li Meng, do you want to persuade your mother? I don’t think that she will be able to get out of this courtyard tonight.” Li Le reminded Li Meng.
“Shut up.” Li Meng shouted at Li Le. She was extremely furious so she couldn’t care much. “You have no right to care about my family.”
Li Le spoke softly, but Li Meng’s voice was loud. Everyone heard it.
Li Meng was famous for being rude and unreasonable. She managed to change her reputation a little, but now all her efforts went down the drain.
The village head stepped out. “Xu Fang, your son was in the wrong. I think that you should just apologize to them and compensate them.”
“Yes…”
“That little bastard should be beaten up at least once. He ruined my vegetable garden at that time.”
“If Xu Fang didn’t pamper him, would all this happen? She deserves it.”
“They finally met someone they can’t bully.”
The discussions of the villagers made Xu Fang feel even more embarrassed.
Xu Fang looked for Li Meng, but Li Meng was gone. She was not the stupid Li Meng anymore.
…
In the end, Xu Fang unwillingly admitted her mistake and apologized to them. She accepted the deal to compensate them.
However, when she saw the amount written, she was dumbfounded.
“Are these made of gold? Why is it all so expensive? I don’t have so much money!”
“The things that your son stole are expensive,” Ye West Wind said. “You can go to the city and ask about the price. I have already lowered it for you.”
“This is asking for my life.” Xu Fang sat on the ground and started screaming. “I will not have so much money even if I sell myself!”
Ye West Wind said, “Then we can just call the police and imprison your son.”
Xu Fang continued being unreasonable. “You all are trying to kill me. For god’s sake, I don’t have so much money…”
Ye West Wind smiled brightly. “I know the police commissioner in the city.” I know his son.
The police in the city…
The city police was a rank higher than the town police.
No one knew how powerful this young boy was, but this was enough to scare everyone.
If she didn’t compensate them, her son would be taken away…
Xu Fang’s mind was filled with images of her son being taken away.
She couldn’t let her son go to jail.
“Lele, your father is rich, right? You must help me save your brother.” Xu Fang climbed up and grabbed Li Le.
“Aunt, although you don’t like me, I can’t just leave you like this and not care about you.” Li Le was very understanding. “However, I can’t just give you the money like this. My father worked really hard to earn this money and it is quite a huge sum too…”
Ming Shu glanced at Jian Shu’s future wife in the original storyline.
This little girl is impressive.
Li Meng managed to get Jian Shu after she was reborn, but she couldn’t do anything to Li Le. She just angered Li Le a few times.
If Li Meng chose to continue fighting with Li Le, she might still lose to her.
However, Li Meng got smarter after she reborn. She knew that she was not Li Le’s match so she chose another path.
This was why Li Meng chose to leave now.
In the end, Li Le agreed to pay a portion of the money for Xu Fang, but her family had nothing to do with theirs anymore. They broke their ties under the witness of the village head.
Li Le gave the money to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu looked at Li Le mysteriously. “Do you know how to cook?”
Li Le was confused but she still answered, “Yes.”
“Then I will let you go this time.” Ming Shu smiled. “Prepare a meal for me. If you do this again…”
Li Le felt her goosebumps coming out.
“I’m sorry, Miss Jian.” Li Le apologized immediately. Her attitude was sincere and calm. “I had no other choice. However, it was my fault for using you. If you need my help next time, I will definitely help you…”
Ming Shu didn’t expect the female protagonist to be so straightforward. She didn’t know how to continue the conversation.
Ming Shu waved her hand. “Finish making the food by noon tomorrow.”
When Li Le walked out of the house, she was still in a daze.
The Jian family… she could not afford to offend them again.
However, she still managed to get rid of Xu Fang and her family. They would not disturb her for some time.
Cook…
Cook what…
Weird.
