Chapter 38 - 037: Noisy
Ye Ling spoke clearly, and she was inside the house, so who couldn’t hear her?
This matter was dragged out, and there was a moment of silence in the house, like the calm before a storm, followed by a tempest.
Wang Hai, being named in this matter, was already scared stiff, and his instinctive reaction was to deny it. He took several steps off the kang and rushed in front of Ye Ling, "You little brat, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth apart."
The faces of the Wang couple sitting on the kang had already changed to a mix of green and white, clearly indicating they were frightened by such a matter, while Wang Shumei looked at Ye Ling with a shifting expression.
Ye Ling wasn’t intimidated by Wang Hai, "If you haven’t done anything, why are you so nervous? Planning to kill me to keep it quiet? Go ahead, I’ll see what happens after you kill me. Does it matter a damn if your dad is a captain? I refuse to believe he can spare you by just saying a word."
Even though Wang Hai was a head taller than Ye Ling, as they stood facing each other, Ye Ling’s aura surprisingly suppressed Wang Hai. Previously arrogant and domineering, Wang Hai dared not act hearing he might end up being blamed.
Seeing his son lose the upper hand, or rather his family lose the upper hand, Captain Wang could no longer stay silent, "Lingzi, let’s talk this out properly. I know you’re angry, but you can’t say things without foundation. Over the years, with your parents not home, who has been looking after your family if not me? Today, having your grandmother work on the farm was because the village truly couldn’t balance the workload. We were hurrying for planting, that’s why your grandmother went to work. I also know she’s elderly, haven’t I already matched her one day’s work with two days’ work points? Since you’re worried about your grandmother, starting tomorrow, she won’t need to go to the fields."
Clever of you, dodging the main issue and avoiding the real problem.
Ye Ling lifted her eyelids, and her tone became a lot colder, "What Uncle Wang said makes sense. Not to mention, everyone has elderly in their family, and everyone will also face old age. We should think it over, not for others but for ourselves, don’t you think so, Uncle Wang? As for fabricating stories, I’m not well-liked in the village, but I won’t create something out of thin air. I clearly heard Wang Hai and Zhang Juanzi talk behind my house window. Wang Hai didn’t want to work temporarily, and came to my house to discuss with my grandma, but Zhang Juanzi stopped him. However, Zhang Juanzi explicitly said she’s already Wang Hai’s woman."
"You little brat." Wang Hai raised his hand, ready to hit.
