Chapter 1573: Chapter 1573: Courtyard Life (25)

She brought the child to Jiang Xue’s house and knocked on her door.

Jiang Xue was at home playing with Little Reunion. Upon hearing the knock, she opened the door directly. As soon as she opened it, she saw the naughty child and Sister-in-law Tang standing outside. She furrowed her brows tightly and asked flatly, "What’s up?"

The naughty child, upon seeing Jiang Xue, hid behind Sister-in-law Tang.

"Jiang Xue, I heard you disciplined my son. I’m here to seek justice for him." Sister-in-law Tang looked at Jiang Xue, her eyes gleaming with greed.

Although Jiang Xue hadn’t been here long, her attire and the food she bought every day indicated to her that Jiang Xue was a wealthy person. And today, she intended to rob the rich to aid the poor.

"Oh, and how do you intend to seek justice?" Jiang Xue looked at Sister-in-law Tang with a half-smiling expression, clearly seeing the greed in her eyes. With just a glance, she could guess what was on the other’s mind.

"He is my child. You disciplined him without my consent. Is it because you think I’m in the hospital, so he’s easier to bully, is that it? Let me tell you, there’s no way you’re bullying my child."

"Today, I’m here to demand an explanation. My child was disciplined by you, and I won’t discipline him back. However, you must compensate us."

"Compensation, huh? How much do you think is fair?" Jiang Xue’s smile deepened, but if you looked closely, it didn’t quite reach her eyes, which were filled with coldness.

Sister-in-law Tang noticed Jiang Xue was not angry and even asked her for a figure. Her heart leapt with joy, and she held up a finger.

"One hundred?" Jiang Xue tested with a question.

Sister-in-law Tang shook her head and said, "One hundred? You think I’m a beggar."

"Then how much do you want?"

"Without ten thousand, this won’t be settled." Sister-in-law Tang made a lion’s demand, looked at Jiang Xue, and said, "You must give me ten thousand yuan, or I’ll report you to the secretary-general."

"Ten thousand, huh!" Jiang Xue sneered, her gaze falling on the naughty child behind Sister-in-law Tang, "You really can talk. With ten thousand yuan, you might as well rob and get it faster."

"What, are you going to renege?" Sister-in-law Tang said while observing Jiang Xue’s face, trying to discern something from it. But all she could see on Jiang Xue’s face was a smile, nothing but a smile.

Sister-in-law Tang felt a bit frustrated, but she was determined to stick to get this money. Recently, the family had spent a lot, and if she could snag this money back, Tang Jun might be happy and treat her better.

During her time in the hospital, although Tang Jun took care when others were around, he only pretended to do so. When there was no one around, he couldn’t be bothered with her.

At first, she even considered dying, but then Tang Jun suddenly threatened to kill her parents if she dared. Although she was an unfilial daughter, she didn’t want her parents to be harmed because of her.

Therefore, under Tang Jun’s intimidation, she could only submit, then seriously take injections and medicine. Surprisingly, even though her injury was severe, she recovered quickly.

In half a month, she could be discharged from the hospital.

"Renege?" Jiang Xue sneered, looked at Sister-in-law Tang, and said, "Do you think I’m easy to bully, is that it?"

"What do you mean?" Sister-in-law Tang was startled, looking at Jiang Xue with some unease. Just now, she mentioned wanting money, and Jiang Xue didn’t object. She thought Jiang Xue was aware of her guilt, which is why she didn’t say anything.
