After a moment, Wang Muxiao said, "Aunt Huang, can’t you speak without shouting and spitting? Your loud voice startled my babies ah."
Mother Huang was stunned by her words. When she realized that Wang Muxiao was teasing her, she opened her mouth and said, "You–"
But before she could say a word, Wang Muxiao continued, "Also, can you talk without spraying your saliva everywhere? What if you disgust my babies so much that they decide to come out early? Will you take responsibility?"
The moment everyone heard her words, they were speechless. Everyone realized that she had once again used her pregnancy as a shield, while also scolding Mother Huang at the same time when they heard her words.
Once she realized this point, Mother Huang’s face flushed red with rage. She pointed at Wang Muxiao and asked angrily, "Wang Muxiao, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I’m disgusting?!"
Rubbing her large baby bump gently, Wang Muxiao sighed and said with a hint of admiration, "Aunt Huang, I never expected you to be so self-aware. Even though you know you are disgusting, you shouldn’t scold yourself in public ah!"
After saying that, she turned to Liu Piao and added seriously, "Sister Ah Piao, fortunately you are smart and didn’t marry her son. Otherwise, who could guarantee that your children wouldn’t grow up to be as disgusting and ill-mannered as their grandmother?"
"It would be bad if they also had crooked eyes and uneven teeth. No one knows how much money would have to be spent just to find a wife or husband for them," she added while glancing at Mother Huang’s daughter, who had crooked eyes, before shifting her gaze to Mother Huang’s grandson, who had buck teeth.
Mother Huang’s eyes nearly rolled back in fury when she heard Wang Muxiao’s words. This time, she was so angry that she couldn’t even form a sentence.
Seeing her almost faint from anger, Liu Hua waved her hand and said with concern, "Aiyo! Aunt Huang, what’s wrong with you?"
"You are already this old but still get angry over small matters. Be careful, or you might have a stroke ah! If one day you can’t get out of bed, who will take care of you?" she added while looking at Mother Huang with a gloating expression.
While the Huang family worried that Mother Huang might really suffer a stroke from anger, Old Zhao looked at the legendary pair with a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
At that moment, he recalled his grandfather’s teaching—it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.
A gentleman is open-minded, while a villain is always worried–which means that a gentleman is open-minded and upright, while a villain is narrow-minded and worried about gains and losses.
If you offend a gentleman, at most he will alienate you, and will never retaliate against you secretly; but a villain is different. He calculates his personal gains and losses all day long.
Once you offend him, he will pester you endlessly and retaliate against you openly or secretly, making you defenseless
He had heard a lot about Wang Muxiao and Liu Hua’s shrewdness, but only today did he witness the true power of their tongues. They could make someone nearly faint from rage with just a few words!
"Then, about the mental distress compensation—"
Before Old Zhao could finish, Wang Muxiao interrupted, "Comrade Zhao, I’m sure you understand that being frightened also requires seeing a doctor and taking medicine. Not to mention the lingering trauma that affects daily life."
"Asking for just 500 yuan already shows how generous Sister Ah Piao is. If it were me, I would report them to the authorities directly and let them spend a few months in prison."
The moment the Huang family heard the word "prison," their faces turned deathly pale. Mother Huang’s daughter stood up and shouted in panic, "No! We can’t go to prison!"
Seeing this, Wang Muxiao spread her arms, looked at Old Zhao and said, "See? We know that sending them to jail would ruin their lives, which is why we are only asking for money. After we showed consideration to them, they still refused to pay the compensation. Isn’t this too much?"
"But the price—"
This time, Liu Piao cut off Old Zhao’s words with a smile, "Comrade Zhao, if you think the compensation is too high, I don’t mind letting the authorities handle this matter according to the law. As for my destroyed things, I will just treat it as bad luck for running into crazy people."
Hearing this, Old Zhao frowned deeply as he weighed the situation.
