Chapter 449: One Thing at a Time
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mother Lin cast a glance at Aunt Yang before addressing Gu Zi and Su Shen, “This matter truly needs your intervention. It’s about Ah Zhuang. He had a drunken fit last night and ran amok at Aunt Yang’s place, smashing everything in her old house.”
They had sought mediation from the village office that day, demanding that he pay for the damages. However, he shamelessly denied any involvement and even accused them of slander.
The argument had dragged on all morning without resolution. Since the incident had occurred late at night, there were no witnesses. Regardless of Aunt Yang’s accusations, Ah Zhuang persistently denied any wrongdoing, claiming he had gone straight to bed after drinking. His mother and wife, unwilling to pay for the damages, naturally sided with him.
Out of desperation, Aunt Yang had agreed to seek help from Mother Lin and the couple, Gu Zi and Su Shen. After all, Ah Zhuang was an employee at their pig farm, and he wouldn’t dare to act so recklessly in front of Su Shen.
“I’m relying on that old house as a shelter from the wind and rain,” she said. “I’ve furnished it with basic necessities. I don’t want to make a big fuss, I just want him to compensate for those items. Otherwise, I’ll have a hard time getting by.”
Although Aunt Yang had a good friend in Mother Lin, she didn’t want to burden her with every problem. She couldn’t accept Mother Lin buying her necessities either. If this matter couldn’t be resolved, she had made up her mind to stay at the relief center for the poor in town.
Gu Zi hadn’t expected Ah Zhuang to cause trouble again. She told Aunt Yang, “You know about that issue. We were going to deal with him sooner or later. But now that this has happened, we’ll handle one thing at a time. I have a way to make him pay.”
Su Shen added, “You’re currently a part-time employee at our pig farm. Given the circumstances, we have a humanitarian obligation to help you settle down first. Aunt Yang, you should go back with my mother-in-law and stay at her place for now. Mom, I’ll need your help to settle our employee.”
Su Shen had heard Gu Zi mention some things about Aunt Yang. Coupled with Mother Lin’s special concern for Aunt Yang, Su Shen naturally took the matter to heart. Moreover, this issue involved an employee of their pig farm, giving him every reason to intervene.
