Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes at her. Widow Sun had a scheming smile on her face. Her eyes were narrowed into a line, as if a lump of fat had been pressed into a crease.

Widow Sun walked around the mother and daughter. Gu Yundong was not afraid of her, but Madam Yang closed her eyes and hugged her daughter tightly.

Widow Sun was even more satisfied when she saw her like that.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, she brought a stool over from the side and sat opposite the two of them boldly. She slanted her eyes and said, “I heard that you injured my man severely. That won’t do. He’s the only strong laborer in my family. The doctor said that he’ll have to lie in bed for at least half a year with his injuries. Without him in this half a year, how can we live?” Gu Yundong found it funny as she comforted Madam Yang. That was not what Madam Jiang had told her previously.

“Then how do you want to resolve it?”

Widow Sun chuckled. “Of course you have to pay some money.”

She knew that this mother-daughter pair had driven a carriage over. Although her family’s conditions were not bad, they could not bear to use money to buy a carriage. At most, they would buy two catties of meat to eat.

Looking at what the two of them were wearing, although it was not silk or anything, it was still beautiful.

Widow Sun was already thinking about how much they should compensate. “Let me tell you, this is Fugui Village. The old and young masters of Fugui Village are all united. We definitely won’t allow outsiders to bully the villagers. You injured my man so badly today. Without my approval, you won’t be able to leave this village.”

“I’m not that unreasonable. As long as you talk nicely and apologize, compensate, and satisfy me, you can leave safely. So, let’s calculate now how much silver you have to compensate.”

Gu Yundong did not say anything and allowed her to speak. “Look, my man is a capable man. He’s the head of the field and can handle small businesses. Therefore, in half a year, he can at least earn 20 to 30 taels of silver for the family. Let’s take the middle amount and treat it as 25 taels.”

“This twenty-five taels can’t be reduced at all. How about this? I think that the carriage will be worth five taels of silver. After all, it’s already old. Other than this, there’s also my man’s medicinal money. He has to be nourished after losing so much blood. At least a chicken will be stewed every five days. It’s at least fifty taels of silver here, don’t you think?”

Gu Yundong smiled. “That much?”

“Not much. From the looks of it, you can take out seventy taels of silver, right?” Widow Sun’s expression became fierce. “You almost took my man’s life. If this family doesn’t have strong labor, it will also take my life. Aren’t two lives worth seventy taels of silver and a carriage? Or do you not want to leave this village?” Madam Yang was shocked by her sudden raised voice. Gu Yundong hurriedly patted her shoulder and looked up into Widow Sun’s eyes. “Speak softer. You’re too noisy.”

“Hey, I’m talking to you nicely. You don’t know what’s good for you, do you?”

As Widow Sun spoke, she reached out and pushed Madam Yang’s shoulder. “Do you believe that I’ll beat you up, break your limbs, and throw you into the pond?”

Gu Yundong’s face darkened. She let go of Madam Yang and stood up, pushing Widow Sun away.

“You little girl, you’re courting death.” Widow Sun rolled up her sleeves and slapped Gu Yundong’s face..
