Chapter 885 - 194: Undermining the Foundation_2
Sweet Potato Flour Workshop, the villagers of Taiping Town all strongly hoped it could stay in Taiping Town, "Her family makes spicy cabbage, runs a noodle shop in the city, and now they even want the Sweet Potato Flour Workshop, meddling in everything! I’ve never seen such insatiable greed!"
The crowd unanimously disparaged and scorned, no curses were uttered, but it was enough to make Fang Hui, Grandma Feng, and Feng Shouxing lose face.
Feng Shouxing’s face turned purple with restraint, "We didn’t sell the recipe! You are slandering us without any evidence!?"
"My hand, it hurts so badly!" Fang Hui cried, holding up her injured hand as proof.
Grandma Feng painfully clutched at her chest, "How many benefits have you received from them? You talk nonsense here! My grandson broke my sister’s hand, are you all blind!? Can’t you see with your eyes!?"
The villagers had indeed seen it, but given Pei Qin’s habit of beating people, she had struck Old Pei’s House several times, and Pei Zongli, her own father, more than once. Therefore, it was no surprise that she had twisted Fang Hui’s hand.
When infestations are numerous, one does not mind the itching, they thought; having hit people so often, not merely twisting Fang Hui’s hand—had Pei Qin truly beaten Fang Hui in public, they wouldn’t have found it strange. Who would expect anything less from Fang Hui, a mere aunt who had already taken plenty, yet was still greedy for more, demanding this and that, and even sold the spicy cabbage recipe to target Pei Qin and her family?
Some who felt Pei Qin was wrong to beat an elder like Fang Hui only dared to condemn her in their hearts a few times, but to outright support Grandma Feng’s words? They weren’t foolish enough to offend Pei Qin and her family.
Seeing that many in the crowd appeared indifferent, and others unmoved, Fang Hui continued to hold up her drooping right hand, her heart burning with undying fury. These people actually thought Pei Qin was right to break her hand!?
Feng Shouxing internally regretted allowing Fang Hui and his mother to come and make a scene. Clearly, everyone sided with Pei Qin and her family.
Grandma Feng bitterly clenched her teeth, "You...you beat an elder, and everyone saw it! I’ll take this to the Government Office and sue you for disrespect and unfilial behaviour. Even if you have money and power, you won’t escape a beating!"
