The little one in my arms shivered slightly upon hearing their words.
Gu Jin reached out and gently patted his back to calm him.
With her back to everyone, she spoke mockingly, "Your kids beat up my little An, and instead of teaching them better, you co here to twist the story and complain. My little An is well-behaved and sensible, how could he beco the trouble you’re talking about?
I think it’s your kids who are the real troublemakers, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, full of lies, and not owning up to what they did. They’re just cowards!"
As soon as Gu Jin started speaking, the parents realized she was back. The fattest of the three won put on a fierce expression upon hearing Gu Jin’s words.
"How can you talk like that, girl! You hit my kid and you still won’t admit it? You won’t get away with this unless you pay today!"
"That’s right, pay up. Our kid was beaten and needs so good food to recover!"
"Pay up, pay up..."
The three parents were all clamoring for compensation.
Chen Hong wasn’t clear about what had happened, and she frowned as she watched them pressuring Gu Jin. Taking a deep breath, she shouted, "Quiet down! What are you yelling about? You can’t prove anything with just your words. Gu Jin, what exactly happened?!"
Gu Jin ignored her aunt’s questioning; it was a ssy situation and hard to explain.
She glared at those parents with a dark expression and said coldly, "You want compensation?"
"We must have compensation!" the woman who first shouted was as fierce as before.
This person was Widow Chen from Qingshan Village, accompanied by her son Dahai, looking nacing.
"Fine, then we’ll compensate!"
Gu Jin turned the face of the child on her shoulder to show everyone his bruised face, which was clearly more severe than the other kids’.
Seeing the startled expressions on those won’s faces, which quickly turned bullish, as if they didn’t think much of little An’s injuries, made Gu Jin’s determination even stronger.
Today, she must make these people pay, and let the whole village know that her child is untouchable; he’s the little one she’s fiercely protective of.
"What’s going on here?"
Jiajie pushed a bicycle into the small courtyard and questioned when he saw so many people inside.
Upon seeing the three kids he recently encountered in the courtyard, he felt there was no need for anyone to answer; he knew what had happened.
Such incidents were common in Qingshan Village. If soone’s child got beaten, the family’s formidable won wouldn’t let it slide and would co demanding compensation or gifts.
Seeing this scene, deep down, Jiajie felt that today, these people wouldn’t get the upper hand against his cousin.
He put the bicycle in the courtyard and shouted to the distance, "Mom, co help carry the rice!"
"Coming!"
Hearing the ntion of rice, Chen Hong, who had been upset that Gu Jin ignored her, brightened up and quickly ran to her son.
The three won who ca demanding compensation watched as Chen Hong unloaded a bag of rice from the bicycle, an unopened sack weighing dozens of pounds.
This only made the three won more determined to ensure the Gu Family would compensate.
Lately, the Gu Family seed to be doing well, even bringing ho wild boar at weighing over a thousand pounds. Today, they were determined to take sothing from the Gu Family.
Gu Jin observed the expressions of the won carefully, her eyes flashing with a harsh, cold light.
"Gu Jin, you’ve said you’ll compensate, so let’s discuss how much."
Widow Cheng, the leader, pushed her son Dahai in front of her, making it clear that she wouldn’t accept a low compensation amount from Gu Jin.
