Chapter 1443 - 1442: Didn’t You Say He Hit Your Son?

Chapter 1443: Chapter 1442: Didn’t You Say He Hit Your Son?

Chapter 1442 You said he hit your son, didn’t you?

Mengyu looked at Jiang Xiuying in surprise: "My apprentice might be young, but he’s very reasonable and wouldn’t hit people recklessly. I also instructed him before I left that he shouldn’t leave the house while I’m gone. How come, did he run over to your house to bully your son?"

Jiang Xiuying was momentarily speechless.

Granny Long frowned: "Come on, you said that child hit your son, didn’t you?"

Jiang Xiuying gritted her teeth and said: "Yes, your apprentice did. He behaved tyrannically the day before yesterday and hit my son. All the neighbors saw it. You must make him apologize to my son and compensate him." She glanced at the New Year’s goods moved into the house and said, "Just give a box of Moutai wine as compensation."

Granny Long was taken aback: To actually ask for a box of Moutai wine as compensation?

If I hadn’t known before, just a moment ago the bodyguard said that the Moutai wine wasn’t expensive but the alcohol tickets were; each bottle is priced at 120 yuan, with a box containing six bottles, that’s 720 yuan.

That day everyone saw her son crying outside this house’s yard but didn’t see any injuries.

Even if there were injuries, asking for some medical expenses is fine. How could it warrant a box of famous wine?

She felt that Jiang Xiuying came looking for trouble today and used her.

She had to prevent it: "Well, Jiang Xiuying, even if your son was hit, no real injuries are seen, there’s no need for such compensation, is there?"

Jiang Xiuying mentally complained: I’m not preparing to get a big hat today only to receive a setback, right? I said a box, after all whether she gives me two bottles I’d be willing."

Mengyu was already angry inside, but she maintained a calm exterior and asked, "Where exactly did my apprentice hit your son? Was it at your house, or on the road? Or somewhere else?"

Jiang Xiuying gritted her teeth: "It was at your house!"

Granny Long was distressed once more.

She recalled, since Xiao Nan’s apprentice was home alone, he always kept the door closed. How did her son manage to get in to be hit?

The boy was living behind closed doors in his own home, how could that be considered tyrannical?

She felt like she might have come here mistakenly today, originally thinking they were old neighbors, unlikely to be bullied by a new neighbor, thus wanting to help say a few words. But it seemed like the party she was helping might not have reason on her side?

However, she reconsidered, children like playing with other kids, even if he knocked on the door to play or something, hitting shouldn’t be allowed. Nurturing the habit of hitting would only unsettle the neighbors in this alley in the future.

Nevertheless, since she came as a mediator, she couldn’t just listen to one side, so she told Mengyu: "Better to call your apprentice out and ask."

Mengyu nodded and called into the house, "Qing Wen, come out for a moment."

Qing Wen had already heard some slander from outside, but since the master hadn’t called him, he dared not come out. Now hearing the master’s summons, he ran out promptly.

He looked up and called to Mengyu: "Master, you called me?"

Granny Long, seeing Qing Wen, exclaimed: "Is this your little apprentice? Has he been living here alone those days?"

Although she knew a child was staying here and someone was bringing food daily, she didn’t realize the child was so small, looking to be just about three years old?

How could such a young child know how to bully others? And, that too when adults are not at home!
