Chapter 7: Huge Compensation

  Not dodging or flinching, staring at the person who seemed about to charge over, without blinking an eye.

  But after a while, he didn't see the other side rushing up, it turned out that it was just a paper tiger, roaring fiercely, but not daring to take action.

  This is what these people usually use to scold Sumojo, and I'm used to hearing it.

  However, Que Er and others have noticed Su Mo Ruo's recent changes, and at this time, they can't help but worry about her.

  "Yang Li, you've gone too far! What did my daughter do wrong? You're making such a big fuss and disturbing everyone. Tell me clearly what's going on!" It was Liu Qin who had just finished her work and returned home to find a large crowd gathered at her doorstep. Neighbors from all around were coming out of their houses to watch the commotion. She quickly ran over, but heard the harsh words being spoken inside, which made her eyes redden instantly. She had heard people talk about it before, but never actually heard anyone scold her daughter like that. Although she wasn't her biological mother, Liu Qin had raised Yang Li as her own since her husband passed away early on. Despite Yang Li's mischievous nature, Liu Qin understood that she was just too kind and righteous. Many times, Liu Qin knew that Yang Li was being framed by others, but she never exposed the truth. However, over time, Yang Li's reputation had been tarnished in the small town, making it even harder for Liu Qin to clear her daughter's name later on.

  Unexpectedly, she was caught red-handed and the woman named Yang Li also felt embarrassed, and her mouth stopped moving.

  "Yang Li, tell me clearly, what you said earlier, didn't you often scold my family's Ruo Ruo in the past?" This was a questioning sentence, but his eyes were extremely determined, looking at the woman in front of him who was lowering her head and not speaking up, he had already made up his mind.

  "Hey, I'm telling you, Liu Qin, don't be too excessive. Your daughter isn't even your biological child, what are you fighting for?" A woman who had come with Yang Li started to help out.

  It's well-known in the town that Su Mo is not her biological daughter. At that time, she and her husband considered that their daughter could find her biological parents later, so they didn't hide this matter. However, it seems now that this has harmed their daughter.

  Eighteen years have passed, if the girl's parents really had a conscience, why didn't they turn back to look for her? Thinking about it, this child was abandoned at their doorstep, her husband had served in the army but became infertile due to injuries, and she selflessly followed him, covering up for him until the appearance of this child brought a glimmer of happiness to this gloomy family.

  They didn't hide the fact that their daughter wasn't born to them, which in hindsight was unwise.

  Sumo's face was calm as he looked at his worried mother, and he appeared relaxed and composed. "Mom, it's just a mad dog barking, what's the point of paying attention to this?"

  Yang Li, with a smug face, seemed to have been stepped on her tail, and she had never been so angry at a younger generation before. In this town, everyone knew Yang Li's temperament, and no one would normally dare to provoke her, even Su Mo Ruo. They had also never confronted each other like this before; in the past, it was always Yang Li speaking ill of Su Mo Ruo alone. But today, unexpectedly, this little girl's verbal skills had improved.

  Just when everyone was scolding loudly, another group of people rushed in, one by one, scolding and cursing, with unpleasant faces.

  Look carefully after the arrival, Yang Li, who was originally pale, suddenly cleared up and walked a few steps to the middle-aged woman and an old lady who had just entered with anger, stretched out her hand and pointed at Su Mo Ruo's calm face. "Auntie, how did you come? Is there something wrong with the child?"

  The old woman heard this and her eyes, which had been as venomous as a snake's, suddenly glared at Yang Li with intense anger. "Yang Li, shut your crow mouth."

  With this one shout, Yang Li actually closed her mouth obediently, but those eyes were clearly filled with discontent.

  As soon as she saw these people, Liu Qin's expression immediately stiffened. She glanced at her daughter before carefully asking the middle-aged woman and the elderly woman, "Auntie, is there something wrong with Ah Qi's injury?"

  The old woman didn't speak, and the middle-aged woman spoke up. A big pancake face with freckles showed a fierce expression, which really scared a group of people. "What's the point of asking such nonsense? You're talking about medical expenses, it's been so many days, my son is still in the hospital waiting for this money, do you want him to be discharged like this?" The tone was pressing and didn't give anyone any room to maneuver or leeway.

  Upon hearing this, Liu Qin's face turned somewhat awkward, and she glanced at her daughter, fearing that this matter would have an impact on her. Facing the two aggressive people in front of her, she appeared very humble, "Xiao Fang, Auntie, can't we go inside to talk?"

  "What's going on, do you still want to shirk responsibility? I'm telling you, in front of all these fellow villagers, you'd better give me a clear explanation once and for all. You promised to compensate us so much back then. Otherwise, do you think your family's wild girl would still be able to stay at home safely, or would she have ended up in prison long ago?" The middle-aged woman looked like a shrewd and cunning person, her eyes wide with anger, and saliva spraying from her mouth.

  Sumo Ruo, who had been calm as water just now, also raised her head at this time and looked at her foster mother. Her eyes were very clear, wanting to know the answer.

  But foster mother Liu Qin shifted her gaze to the middle-aged woman and continued in a low, humble tone: "Sorry, sorry, I'll definitely make up the money for you, but please be good and don't make trouble here, okay?"

  As soon as she heard this, Liu Qin softened, and at this time, the old lady who had not spoken all along came up with an even more ruthless sentence: "If you can't gather the money and send it to me at the hospital before dinner tomorrow night, then go to the cage to see your daughter from now on."

  The cage here refers to the local dialect, which is actually a big prison.

  Her face suddenly turned pale, with a flustered expression, but it didn't bring out any sympathy from the onlookers around her. Instead, they all sneered at Liu Qin.

  Listening to these words, Su Mo felt that her heart was aching at this moment. She took difficult steps to walk to her mother's side and asked, "Mom, how much should we give them?"

  “……”

  The foster mother didn't say a word, so the middle-aged woman answered instead, "To tell you the truth, this wild girl is lucky, although her mother is silly, but she's actually better to this non-biological daughter than her own biological one. Your mother said that she'll scrape together 1,000 yuan for medical expenses..."
