Chapter 93: Chapter 93
"Grandma, if you’re going to sue, hurry up! Better bring the police over here! It’ll save me a trip!" Bai Ruxue said casually while tending to Wang Yongsheng’s wound, "Coming over to rob and assault, I wonder how many years the sentence would be!"
"You little brat, who robbed? The one who beat people is that bastard. Didn’t you see your third uncle got beaten badly?" Grandma Bai seemed a bit guilty; they were indeed here to snatch the recruitment quota, but getting beaten was also true.
She had seen her precious son get punched several times in the stomach by that son of a bitch, and even kicked a lot.
"Grandma, just look! Uncle is our guest; look at what third uncle did to his face! This is disfigurement. According to the law, in mutual fights, if one side causes disfigurement, the responsibility is theirs. My uncle hasn’t married yet, and if his features are ruined, can you afford the responsibility?" Bai Ruxue sternly questioned with the last sentence! "This isn’t just about letting third uncle go to jail for a few years! There must be compensation!"
On hearing this, Li Guihua was perplexed first, frightened, and her grip on Bai Dahe’s hand trembled, causing Bai Dahe to shake along as well.
But this did not intimidate Grandma Bai, "You little brat, stop bluffing! I’ve never heard of someone going to jail for scratching someone’s face. If anyone should go to jail, it’s him. Beating someone can’t just end so easily!"
"Grandma, this is why reading has its benefits! You don’t understand the law, but I do! Let me break down how many laws third uncle has violated!" Bai Ruxue began her serious nonsense with a bit of legal knowledge!
She had never failed in this tactic before because Grandma Bai was always frightened by her.
"First! Third uncle coming over to beat someone while my father was not home is bullying the weak and can be punished by law! Second! You came to our house to steal the recruitment quota, and in my unwillingness, you assaulted and caused injury to my uncle, which is intentional injury and home robbery, thus jail time! Third! Third uncle scratched my uncle’s face that’s disfigured him! This adds a higher charge to intentional injury, adding three years in sentencing, calculated cumulatively; third uncle’s jail time could be more than ten years!"
Bai Ruxue finished speaking and looked at Bai Dahe and his wife who were pale-faced, raised her brows, and thought to herself, cowards, just scared like that, so much for all that yelling and cursing earlier.
Even Grandma Bai was bewildered by Bai Ruxue’s series of charges and didn’t know how to refute them.
Ignorance sure is frightening.
"Grandma, why are you still standing there? Hurry to sue! It’ll save me the extra legwork. I’ll lend you my bicycle, that way it’ll be faster!" Bai Ruxue urged when Grandma Bai didn’t react after she finished.
"Who...who said I was going to sue! You little brat, stop talking nonsense!" Grandma Bai realized her voice was trembling and her legs couldn’t stop shaking.
"You’re not going? Alright, I’ll go! None of you leave, wait inside, I’ll ride my bike, it’ll be quick one round trip!" Bai Ruxue gestured to push the bicycle.
Bai Dajiang was also intimidated, believed Bai Ruxue’s words, saw her actually going for the bicycle, wanted to step forward to persuade.
But it was too late, Li Guihua suddenly rushed to Bai Ruxue’s side, "Eldest niece, isn’t it normal for our family to quarrel? Talking about suing and not suing, I’ll have your third uncle apologize! We were wrong today; shouldn’t have come and made a scene!" With a grin about to reach her ears, she cautiously grabbed Bai Ruxue’s arm and spoke. Latest content published on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
After finishing, she quickly waved over Bai Dahe, signaling him to hurry over and apologize.
If her man went to jail for ten years, would there be any way for her to manage with three kids?
"Yes...yes, eldest niece, third uncle was wrong, I was wrong!" Bai Dahe displayed his cowardly traits fully.
He limped forward and apologized, "Third uncle shouldn’t have come to make trouble, shouldn’t have fought with Yongsheng brother!"
"Heh...now realizing wrong, what were you doing earlier? Only apologizing after one is disfigured? Too late!" Bai Ruxue remained unmoved, still trying to get the bike.
"Mom...mom what should we do?" Li Guihua thought quickly and immediately sought help from Grandma Bai.
Even Grandma Bai was shaken by the supposed charges Bai Ruxue listed and was at a loss, got snapped back into reality from Li Guihua’s call.
"Xiao Xue! What are you doing? Dahe is your third uncle! How can you sue your third uncle?" Grandma Bai steadied herself with difficulty, suddenly seeming like a different person, her demeanor gave an impression of a kind old lady.
"Not sue him? Allow him to bully us for nothing? Getting beaten and scolded and almost having the recruitment quota snatched! How can we swallow this down?" Bai Ruxue said deliberately with a sullen face.
"Who said we came for the recruitment quota, we just came to see, to see if your dad truly wants to go to the city to be a worker!" Grandma Bai, putting on the appearance of a good mother, completely hid the aggressive stance she had earlier demanding Bai Ruxue give up the recruitment quota.
"Yeah, yeah, we don’t want the recruitment quota, eldest niece, I don’t want it, you heard wrong! Heard wrong!" Bai Dahe immediately agreed with his mother.
Although saying aloud, inwardly he cursed Bai Ruxue and Wang Yongsheng countless times.
If he could go to the city to be a worker, how great would it be? No need to farm or do farm work, eating well, drinking well, comfortably!
But now, he couldn’t help but step back.
If this little brat really went to sue him, then going to jail would be worse than farming.
"But my uncle’s face is ruined, in the future this will be..." Bai Ruxue still acted relentless, not letting go of the bicycle.
Just then, the sound of several people running fast came from outside the courtyard.
Bai Ruxue knew her father was back, realizing tricking Grandma Bai might have little hope, she initially wished she could extort some more out of Grandma Bai.
Soon, Bai Daliang ran inside, panting heavily, with a bundle of firewood on his back.
He had just chopped some firewood when Xiao Xia ran over to him.
What did she say back then?
"Dad, hurry back! Your mom is trying to kill my big sister and uncle, my mom also got beaten, if you don’t return soon Xiao Feng and Xiao Cai are about to be strangled!"
Bai Ruxia finished saying, Bai Daliang’s mind buzzed, hurriedly picked up his two sons nearby and the bundled firewood, running back home.
Behind, Bai Ruxia mischievously stuck out her tongue, thinking her dad’s too much of a pushover, always tolerating Grandma.
She said that also intending to scare him.
Unexpectedly, dad actually didn’t forget to carry the firewood, so heavy, the siblings tag along all the way back, Bai Daliang ran back non-stop without catching his breath.
"Mom...what are you doing again?" Bai Daliang entered the courtyard and without thinking twice, wiped the sweat off his face chaotically, shouted aloud, "Don’t hit my daughter!"
"Daliang! You came at the right time, I wasn’t hitting your daughter, she insists on suing Dahe and we can’t stop her!" Grandma Bai’s flattering look instantly reduced upon seeing her eldest son return.
Wang Yongsheng had been standing silently next to Bai Ruxue.
In fact, other than a few scratches, he hadn’t really gotten hurt. Even though his niece talked about suing, he said nothing and just watched!
