Chapter 45 Gender Crimes 45
Mrs. Bai, somewhat resistant, said to Aunt Hao, "What is the matter that requires Shuangshuang to go? We have already severed ties with that family!"
Aunt Hao sighed and reassured Mrs. Bai, "Sister, don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. It’s just that Shuangshuang gave the madam who came to buy people and those thugs a beating, didn’t she? Shuangshuang is in the right, and that madam wouldn’t dare to make trouble for her. Even if she dared, we wouldn’t let Shuangshuang suffer."
Aunt Hao then soothingly patted Qin Shuangshuang’s head and continued, "That madam and a few thugs got injured and are causing a fuss, demanding Uncle Qin’s family pay up. They claim it’s fraud as Uncle Qin’s family sold the girl without informing about Shuangshuang’s immense strength, which injured them. They demand Uncle Qin’s family cover their medical expenses and an additional ten taels of silver."
Mrs. Bai frowned slightly. Having finally severed ties, she hoped never to interact with that family again, unwilling for her daughter to go there, so she complained, "What does that have to do with our Shuangshuang? Why should she have to go there?"
Aunt Hao sighed, "Originally, Shuangshuang wouldn’t have needed to go. But you know what kind of people they are after all these years of dealings. They refused to bear responsibility, claiming Shuangshuang was the one who injured them, so she should pay!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai was instantly furious, her face turning red with anger. She retorted, "How outrageous! If their family hadn’t tried to sell my daughter, would she have fought back?! Should I have let my daughter be sold into a place like that without resistance?!"
Mrs. Bai was very emotional, not just angry at that family, but also disgusted and sad, as those people were once their own flesh and blood.
Aunt Hao hurriedly said, "Sister, don’t worry, everyone understands there’s no reason to say such things! Not just you, but none of us would allow it.
Even the madam said it was Old Chen who urged her to quickly capture you without mentioning your immense strength, deliberately deceiving her. Therefore, it’s Uncle Qin’s family who should pay. Asking Shuangshuang to go there is just to confirm the madam’s words."
