I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 172: Conflict (3)

Editor: Atlas Studios

“It wasn’t your Big Brother who let the oxen eat their crops. Why should he go?” Madam Hu-Zhang said unhappily.

Hu Gui glared at her. “It’s not Big Brother, but his son. Little An was the one who grazed the oxen.”

“Don’t slander him. Ah Ling already said that the ground is full of your footprints. You knelt down and admitted it just now. Otherwise, why would you be so anxious when she spoke of sending the culprit to the officials?”

“Enough.” Old Hu patted the edge of the brick bed and shouted, “Do you still think that the house isn’t chaotic enough? Now that the money has already been taken out, hurry up and send it to the Mu family. Third Brother, go back to your room and stay there. When I’m free at night, I’ll beat you up. Who asked you to herd the oxen to her fields? Are Madam Ma-Liu and Mu Yangling people you should mess with? They’re a family of shrews.”

Hu Gui shrunk his neck and said, “I didn’t herd the oxen into their field. They went there themselves…” At most, he didn’t stop them. Who asked Madam Ma-Liu to always glare at him? Her eldest granddaughter actually dared to spit at him when she saw him. It was already considered merciful for him to let the oxen eat just a portion of their crops.

Who knew that this was illegal?

Hu Gui felt very aggrieved.

Madam Hu-Fang had already put away the silver. Not daring to delay, she wiped her tears before running to the Mu residence. Madam Ma-Liu took the silver from her with a dark expression and didn’t let her enter the house. She directly shut them out with a bang.

Madam Hu-Fang stood for a while before leaving.

Xiuhong stuck her head out to look at the silver in her grandmother’s hand and asked softly, “Aren’t we going to report it to the officials?”

Madam Ma-Liu tapped her forehead and said, “What a silly girl. That was your aunt scaring them. If we really send them to the officials, the villagers will avoid our family in the future. Moreover, how can reporting to the officials be as practical as taking silver?” Madam Ma-Liu handed the silver to Mu Yangling and sighed. “But although I’ve gotten the silver back, I still feel uncomfortable. Back then, your Grandma Hu made it sound so nice, even offering to come over to help if I couldn’t manage it. Although she would say some sour words sometimes, it didn’t matter since our family was indeed more well-off than theirs. Who would have expected things to turn out like this?”

Xiulan went forward solicitously and massaged her shoulders. “Grandma, don’t be sad. We just won’t play with Grandma Hu in the future.”
