Chapter 574: Best Debater
Chapter 574: Best Debater
Aunt Luo was stunned, the back of her head throbbed painfully, her palm was scraped and bleeding, and she cried in anger, supporting herself on the ground.
This is just too much bullying.
When she wasn’t paying attention, Widow Tong sent her flying eight feet away. Did Widow Tong practice the Iron Head Skill?
Her daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl and she treasures her so much, running over eagerly to defend her.
If it were her daughter-in-law who was pregnant with a girl and someone knocked her over, she would be burning incense in gratitude for that person.
Tong Dajiao truly disgraces the elder women of Qinghe Bay.
After bumping Aunt Luo, Tong Dajiao smoothed her hair like a sweeping monk. Did Aunt Luo forget that she herself used to be one of the most troublesome shrews in Qinghe Bay?
"My Chun Wang is still a child, what does he know?" Aunt Luo cried loudly, "Why don’t you say it was Chen Sufen who wasn’t looking where she was going and bumped into Chun Wang?" Aunt Luo said, enduring the throbbing pain at the back of her head.
Still being stubborn.
"Aunt Luo, Chun Wang is a child and already knows how to kill? Imagine when he grows up, it will be worse. Do you remember Xu Si? He was mischievous from a young age and now he’s been exiled to Lingnan. I heard he caught malaria a while ago, and who knows if he’s dead or alive now," said Gu Daqiao. "If you don’t rein him in now, as Mrs. Hong said, he’ll surely end up in court sooner or later."
"Xiao Long scolding him was out of the camaraderie between classmates, not wanting to see him go astray. You, instead of being grateful for this noble gesture, are here throwing a tantrum. You’re worse than a child. You should be preparing a hefty gift to apologize and thank Aunt Tong."
Gu Daqiao rarely went out before, but now he is the steward of Tong Huaqiong’s Weaving Workshop. A man with a career stands tall, and he supported himself on a cane, berating Aunt Luo from amidst the crowd.
With this speech, Gu Daqiao instantly elevated Xiao Long’s aggressive beating of Chun Wang to not be about avenging Chen Sufen but rather for setting Chun Wang on the right path.
No wonder Gu Daqiao was the most promising scholar in the Gu family before Gu Jingzhe, his ability to argue is not something ordinary people can contend with.
Tong Huaqiong thought that Gu Daqiao was not only a top engineer but also the best debater.
Aunt Luo was fuming, clearly it was her grandson who was being wronged.
Tong Pandi chimed in, "Brother Daqiao, telling her this is useless, Chun Wang usually steals chickens and dogs, and now he even harbors harmful thoughts, all because Aunt Luo indulges him. The saying ’when the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked’ fits perfectly."
At this point, the villagers began blaming Aunt Luo.
"Fortunately, Sufen has a strong constitution, if it had been someone else, there would have been two lives lost, and your grandson wouldn’t just have gotten a beating but would have had his head chopped off."
"Your daughter-in-law and granddaughter both work for Dashi’s mother earning wages, and you’re not grateful, instead, you repay kindness with enmity."
Hearing this infuriated Aunt Luo, outsiders all knew her daughter-in-law and granddaughter worked at Tong Huaqiong’s pig farm, yet they didn’t believe that Tong Huaqiong withheld wages. Not only did she lose two labor forces, but she was also labeled as someone who repaid kindness with enmity.
At this moment, Aunt Luo secretly hated, why didn’t her grandson just knock Chen Sufen to death?
Tong Huaqiong didn’t say a word, she stood up and walked around Aunt Luo and Chun Wang.
Aunt Luo and Chun Wang let out screams like pigs being slaughtered.
The crowd saw that Tong Huaqiong’s shoe had crushed Chun Wang’s and Aunt Luo’s hands.
Their hands were instantly bloodied, fearing that the stomp had broken their fingers.
"Widow Tong... you stomped me and Chun Wang to death... are you trying to kill us..." Aunt Luo screamed, tremblingly asked.
Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "Did I step on you? Clearly, I was just walking normally in the village and it was you who shoved your hands under my shoes."
"You..." Aunt Luo was speechless.
Tong Huaqiong looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, according to what Aunt Luo just said, was I walking normally and Aunt Luo and Chun Wang shoved their hands under my feet?"
The crowd blindly sided with her, nodding vigorously.
"Yes, yes."
"That’s how it was, I saw it."
Aunt Luo was about to explode with rage.
"Has everyone’s eyes been stomped by shoes? Wrongfully accusing people out of nowhere."
This bunch of villagers with eyes always on money, blatantly lying.
She really wanted to just roll her eyes and play dead, but she couldn’t, her eldest grandson was still there wailing beside her.
Tong Huaqiong picked up a stick and looked towards the private school.
Logically, with all the shouting and clamoring, Mr. Su couldn’t possibly not hear it.
Both Xiao Long and Chun Wang are students at the private school, this matter actually requires Mr. Su to step in and resolve.
Tong Huaqiong wanted to give Aunt Luo a harsh punishment, which was to have Mr. Su use this opportunity to expel Chun Wang from the private school, cutting off Aunt Luo’s eldest grandson’s future hope of taking the imperial exams.
Aunt Luo saw Tong Huaqiong looking towards the private school and realized it too, her grandson and Xiao Long were both students at the private school. Since the villagers were blindly siding with Widow Tong, she would have Mr. Su come and uphold justice.
Even though Mr. Su was close to Widow Tong’s family, it didn’t influence Aunt Luo’s belief that Mr. Su was fair and impartial, the reason being that last time when Liu Tong’s boy fought with Yaozu, Mr. Su punished Yaozu.
To Aunt Luo, this meant Mr. Su wasn’t afraid of offending Tong Huaqiong.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su, your student Chun Wang is about to be beaten to death, please come out and uphold justice."
"Mr. Su, why aren’t you coming out yet?"
"If you don’t come out, I’ll start banging on the door."
Aunt Luo stood before the private school door hollering with a voice that echoed to the heavens.
"Stop shouting, you’re noisy."
Mr. Su came out under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
"Hello, Mr. Su," Tong Huaqiong greeted Mr. Su.
"Mr. Su, look at Widow Tong bringing a group of kids to bully our Chun Wang, falsely accusing him of bumping into Sufen. If he really did bump into Sufen, could Sufen have safely and healthily given birth?"
"You’re Chun Wang’s teacher, you need to stand up for him, otherwise other kids in the school might follow suit, falsely accusing others and beating classmates to death."
Aunt Luo tugged at Mr. Su, her words turning black into white, eager for Mr. Su to uphold justice.
Tong Huaqiong didn’t need to say anything because she knew that since Mr. Su had come out, he would handle the matter, and if he wanted to handle it, it would certainly be to her satisfaction.
A person like Mr. Su, who cannot tolerate even a speck of sand in his eyes, would protect and educate if a student made a forgivable mistake.
But Chun Wang’s mistake was clearly unforgivable, he was attempting to kill.
"Mr. Su, look at my Chun Wang, look at my hand..." Aunt Luo wiped her tears and snot on the shoe, choked up.
Mr. Su avoided Aunt Luo’s gaze, looking solemnly at Chun Wang, who was crying and wailing on the ground, and said, "Chun Wang, let me ask you, did you bump into Man Er’s mother this morning?"
Chun Wang stopped crying with a screech.
"No, Chun Wang did not, and even if he did, they bumped into each other."
Aunt Luo saw her grandson was obviously afraid of Mr. Su, so she answered for Chun Wang.
Mr. Su continued to stare at Chun Wang and said, "Chun Wang, if you don’t tell the truth, you do not need to come tomorrow."
