In truth, when Gu Zi became serious, others couldnt hope to match her stature, even if they climbed to a higher position.
Her figure and appearance were far beyond lowering herself to seduce Tian Hai it was clearly his own initiative.
I was being polite when I called him trash. Trash can still be useful when picked up. Your sons value is so pitifully low that even the first use is worthless, let alone any prospect of recycling. You may not see what kind of person he is, but others certainly can, Gu Zi remarked with finality, eliciting pointing and murmurs from the crowd.
Many found Gu Zis words undeniably true. Tian Hai might seem presentable as a city dweller, but apart from that, he appeared to lack significant worth.
This realization made some people reconsider their envy toward Su Jing for having a boyfriend from the city. At this moment, they realized that merely being a city dweller held little actual value.
Tian Hais father found her words particularly cutting, and though he wanted to retaliate, the widespread agreement from the villagers made him momentarily apprehensive.
This was Daqing Village. If the villagers sided with Gu Zi, he couldnt afford to further incite public discord.
However, he couldnt simply leave without compensation. He insisted, I dont care about this. I know I cant win against you. But since this matter started because of you and your reliance on Su Shens influence, you have to compensate our Tian family with 800 yuan!
The others accompanying him eagerly supported this demand as soon as they heard it.
Despite being relatives and friends of Tian Hai, their motivation to come was solely fueled by the expectation of extracting money from the Su family.
The moment Tian Hais father requested money, the tension spiked once again.
Lin Cheng, Lin Hun, and Li Zhu positioned themselves protectively in front of
This time, Gu Zi wasnt afraid. Earlier, Su Bing had brought Big Yellow out and handed the leash to Gu Zi.
That gesture made Gu Zi realize how much she had been rattled by the preceding commotion. She had completely forgotten about Big Yellow. She grasped the dogs leash and stepped forward, standing before the three men. Big Yellow advanced, barking fiercely at the Tian family members opposite, intimidating them into repeated retreat.
Are you intending to set the dog on us? You vicious woman! Tian Hais fathers voice quivered with agitation.
Gu Zi smiled and responded, Negotiations require equal strength. You brought so many people to cause trouble at my home, but I cant have a dog guard against it? She then added, Im willing to compensate, but lets settle the bill now.
Father Tian was left flabbergasted, unable to figure out how to proceed.
I wont admit it, he retorted, thinking himself clever. Your side was involved in the fight too. I wont admit it!
Gu Zi countered, I wont insist on that, but you must return the money Su Jing took from the Su family to aid the Tian family. According to Su Shens calculation, 1,000 yuan isnt unreasonable. Your demand for 800 yuan is exaggerated, but Ill let it pass. Nevertheless, you still owe the Su family 200 yuan!
As soon as these words were said, everyone despised the Tian family even more. They had long heard that Tian Hai wandered around the city all day and did not have a proper job. So it was true.
He and Su Jing were apparently reliant on Su Shens money for survival. They
didnt lcnnw how tn he orntpflll and pvpn wanted tn Rhpnq wife Tf he
hadnt faced repercussions, who would have stopped him?
Gu Zis reasoning was indeed clear. Even in this situation, she still sought repayment of the money owed. It was evident that she was a scholar.
Tian Hais father couldnt tolerate it any longer. Not only was he not being paid, but now there was a demand for the return of the money! This woman was truly unyielding.
That money was voluntarily given by Su Jing to Tian Hai, he declared loudly.
Why should we repay it just because you demand it?
Su Jing is a part of the Su family. I have no objection to using Su Shens money.
If Tian Hai were to openly marry Su Jing and declare its for the familys support, I wouldnt object. But Tian Hai hasnt married her yet, and hes already asking her to support his family? Thats unacceptable! Gu Zis words were articulate and her tone forthright. Despite not being loud, everyone heard her clearly.
It dawned on everyone that Sister-in-law Fangs accusations against Gu Zi were baseless. Gu Zi didnt treat Su Jing as an outsider. In fact, she seemed genuinely invested in helping Su Jing change for the bettera truly good sister-in-law.
Tian Hais father was left speechless, his anger evident as his chest heaved up and down.
Just as he struggled for a response, someone shouted, Isnt that Su Jing? Su Jing is here!
Despite Gu Zis intentions being for Su Jings benefit, many suspected that Su Jings naivety might not allow her to appreciate Gu Zis efforts..
