Li Chunmiao said stubbornly, "It's ridiculous to say that my son stole something just because he found a watch in his pocket. The watch belongs to my family. What's wrong with my son playing with it?"

Jiang Tingxia sneered, "Is this watch yours?"

Li Chunmiao stuck out his neck and said, "Yes, it's mine. There are so many things exactly like it in the world. You can buy it but I can't."

Jiang Tingxia stood up, looked at Li Chunmiao's patched shirt and said, "Li Chunmiao, you are so bold! Even if you pack up all the bones in your body and sell them, you still can't afford this watch."

The people around couldn't help but sneer out loud. They didn't expect that Jiang Tingxia, the young wife, looked at Wenwen angrily and cursed her in a very vicious way.

Li Chunmiao covered the patch on his clothes with embarrassment, his eyes reddened, "You are looking down on me. My child's father is an officer like your husband, and he gets a salary every month. Your family can afford it, but mine can't?"

Jiang Tingxia looked at her quibbling and asked, "Li Chunmiao, I'll ask you one last time, was it you and your son who stole my watch?"

Li Chunmiao looked at the crowd watching the excitement, feeling in a dilemma. Finally, he said with determination, "No, this watch belongs to my family. You are wrongly accusing me."

After hearing this, Jiang Tingxia didn't want to continue to tangle with such a shameless person. She turned the watch in her hand, walked to a few women who were close to her, and handed the watch to them, "Sisters-in-law, take a good look. My name is on it."

A few women who could read came over to take a look and saw Jiang Tingxia's initials clearly written on the metal watch case.

Jiang Tingxia: "Li Chunmiao, you have nothing to say, right? There are so many eyes watching us. This time, your son and you can't deny the theft."

The last pesticide incident was dropped thanks to Li Chunmiao’s shamelessness, but this time there is both witnesses and evidence, so she definitely cannot deny it.

Jiang Tingxia glanced at her coldly, turned around and was about to leave. She felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded by people watching the fun.

Li Chunmiao panicked, "Don't leave. What are you going to do? Are you going to find the police?"

Li Chunmiao stood in front of Jiang Tingxia, tears and snot running down her face. Her attitude changed completely. "Sister Tingxia, it was the child who took your watch and played with it. I've already returned it to you. Don't be so picky with him."

Jiang Tingxia: "You just said this watch is yours?"

Li Chunmiao looked at Jiang Tingxia pleadingly, "I remembered it wrongly."

Jiang Tingxia repeated, "Did you remember it wrong?"

Li Chunmiao quickly said, "I didn't remember it wrongly. I was talking nonsense. I was talking nonsense."

Jiang Tingxia: "You don't have to explain to me. Save your energy for explaining to the police."

Li Chunmiao's son suddenly burst into tears, "Mom, I don't want to be shot."

Li Chunmiao said fearfully, "Listen, Sister Xia, look how scared the child is. As long as you don't call the police, whatever you say will be the truth."

Jiang Tingxia saw that this was a moral blackmail, so she sneered in her heart and said, "Okay, then you pay me a hundred yuan and let this matter go."

Li Chunmiao groaned. One hundred yuan was more than a month's salary for her husband. She immediately refused, "How can my family have that much money?"

Jiang Tingxia returned her words, "Didn't you tell me not to look down on you by judging others through the cracks in the door? You already have the money to buy a watch, but you can't take out a hundred dollars?"

Li Chunmiao was choked, "My family really has no money, how about... how about..." Li Chunmiao hesitated for a long time, called his son over, "We mother and son will kneel down for you, do you think it's okay?"

Jiang Tingxia:?

"If you kneel before me, will I gain more flesh or live forever?!"

Li Chunmiao refused to listen and took his son to kneel in front of Jiang Tingxia, "Please have mercy on us and let us go this time."

Jiang Tingxia hid aside and said, "I didn't ask you to kneel."

Li Chunmiao thought that everything would be alright after kneeling down? No way.

"Just a second ago, you said that as long as you and your son could be spared, you would do anything. I offered a hundred yuan as compensation, but you refused. You just kneeled down lightly and you can get over this matter without paying any money. I am the one who suffers from this. Li Chunmiao, you have made a good calculation."

"I won't stop you if you want to kneel, but that's not how this works."

After listening to Xia's words, Jiang walked away.

When Guo Gang got home and heard about this, he was so angry that he ignored the discipline he had just emphasized a few days ago and slapped Li Chunmiao in the face. "If this matter gets out of hand, how can I remain a member of the team? I tell you, this will affect my future career, and you will suffer the consequences."

Guo Gang cursed for a long time, beat his son, took Li Chunmiao and went out with a hundred yuan.

"I'm telling you, I don't care whether you kneel down, kowtow, cry, or beg, this matter must be resolved."

……

Li Changpu was walking on the road with another acquaintance. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Brother Li, where are you from?"

“I’m from Zhongshan.”

Li Changpu thought of Jiang Tingxia's words and asked again, "What about my sister-in-law?"

"We are from the village next to mine, and we got married through a matchmaker."

That day, Jiang heard Xia swear that the sister-in-law who sent the pickled vegetables must be from Zhongshan, and she was right.

"Acorus, we've known each other for three or four years, and this is the first time you've cared about me so much."

Li Changpu usually doesn't like to talk about these family matters. When he interacts with people, he mostly talks about work matters. It's a bit abrupt to ask him this today. If you want to say if there is any change in him, it's just that he became a groom a few days ago.

"It's different after getting married. It's only been a few days and he's already landed and talking to me about family matters. So, it's better to get married."

Li Changpu laughed at the teasing and said, "Brother Li, I just asked casually, what are you talking about?"

Just when they reached a fork in the road, Brother Li walked away slowly, leaving behind a sentence, "Look at you smiling, but you still don't admit it."

Li Changpu: He smiled?

Li Changpu continued walking towards home and heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw Guo Gang and Li Chunmiao. They came hurriedly, sweating profusely.

Guo Gang stuffed a thick stack of Great Unity into his hands.

Li Changpu: "Brother Guo, why are you giving me money?"

Although Li Changpu has a lot of experience, he is still young. When the positions are not appropriate, he will call those with lower positions than him "brother".

Guo Gang rubbed his palms, "Talk to your sister-in-law. I have sent the money, please let her calm down."

Li Changpu became alert, his face stern, no longer chatting casually, "What happened?"

Looking at Li Changpu's look, Guo Gang and his wife have achieved their goal. A new daughter-in-law is making a fuss, so just let her husband take care of her.

Guo Gang deliberately avoided the main point and said, "It's my youngest son. You've seen him before. He's so naughty that even dogs hate him. When he went to your house today, he saw your sister-in-law playing with her watch. She was upset. This money is to apologize to her."

Li Changpu thought about Jiang Tingxia's temper and realized that she would indeed get angry about something like this. She wouldn't let anyone touch her things, let alone these people from the mountains whom she looked down upon touching her things.

Li Changpu felt embarrassed for her and pushed the money back, "Brother Guo, take the money back. She has a temper... just like a child. It comes and goes quickly. It will be fine in a while."

Li Changpu thought, Jiang Tingxia has just a child's temper. She is so angry that she grits her teeth and her face turns red, but she is fine the next second. When she is angry, she says all kinds of nasty things, but when she calms down, she comes up to you and talks to you again. It's okay to get along with him like this, but how can she get along with outsiders like this? Others will hate her.

But Guo Gang refused to take the money, "No, no, no, you must take it."

Li Chunmiao, who was standing by, was crying so hard that she was about to kneel down.

Li Changpu immediately supported Li Chunmiao who was about to kneel down, and was shocked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Li Chunmiao: "Captain Li, please talk to Sister Xia and ask her to let us go this time. The baby is still young. Tell her not to bother with a child."

"As long as she doesn't care, for the sake of the child, I will kowtow to you, not to mention kneeling down to you. But your wife is hard-hearted. No matter what I do, she just won't let the child go. I can only come to beg you."

Li Changpu frowned and saw two yellow earth marks on Li Chunmiao's knees. He had just stopped her and she didn't kneel on the ground. Looking at the marks, could it be that she had knelt before? And from what she said, it seemed that his sister-in-law knelt down to Jiang Tingxia just because the child touched her watch.

Li Changpu's face was gloomy, "Sister-in-law, did she ask you to kneel down and kowtow to her?"

Li Chunmiao pretended to be scared and said, "No, no, I want to kneel down myself."

Li Chunmiao's terrified look, even if he was telling the truth, distorted the meaning in Li Changpu's eyes.

Li Changpu: Who would be willing to kneel down and beg for mercy? They would not care about their dignity unless they were forced into a desperate situation. Jiang Tingxia has a bad temper.

Li Changpu's face turned pale and he took a deep breath, "Sister-in-law, she was wrong in this matter."

Li Chunmiao pretended to cry again, "Don't blame her. Your wife said her watch is expensive. I can't afford to pay for it. But this money is really the last savings of our family. Don't think it's too little. You must take it."

Li Changpu felt a fire in his chest that burned to his head. This was too outrageous. What was she saying? What kind of behavior was she doing? She made people kneel down to her. She was just as hateful and evil as the landlords in the old society. She didn't treat people as human beings!

Li Changpu was so angry that he didn't care about Guo Gang and Li Chunmiao and walked home angrily.

Guo Gang and his wife originally wanted to go directly to Li Changpu. As long as he said that they didn't need to pay compensation, the matter would be over. The man in the family always has the final say. But Li Changpu left in a rage. The two looked at each other and had no choice but to follow him.
