There were more and more voices around, all accusing the woman.
Whatever the reason was, it was wrong for adults to hit children.
The woman's face and neck flushed. She was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole and hide herself. It was so humiliating. She turned around and wanted to leave.
But Armand stopped her.
He looked serious, "Do you want to leave after beating people?"
"I said I didn't need compensation anymore, what else do you want from me?" The woman yelled. She was very angry that people around her were laughing at her.
"We will compensate you since we made your clothes dirty and you have beaten somebody, you'll have to pay for it!" Armand raised his chin.
The woman's heart was beating fast. She was flustered. She didn’t expect things to get to this point, she had no choice but to call her husband to solve the situation for her. "I, let me make a call." The woman quickly took out her phone from her pocket and called her husband.
Soon after the phone was connected, before she could open her mouth, there came an impatient male voice, "Did you fall into the pit? Why aren’t you back yet?"
"I, I'm on the way back from the bathroom." The woman stammered.
Her husband became even more impatient, "Then why haven't you come back yet?"
The woman shrunk her shoulders, "Somebody has stopped me and won't let me go."
"What?" The man on the other end of the phone was so angry. He thought someone was teasing his wife. He angrily opened the car door and got off. He came to the bathroom, "Who, who is blocking my wife's way?"
"Darling." The woman was scared, when she saw her husband, she felt like she would be saved.
The man walked towards them, strangling his neck, "Who is teasing my wife?"
"When your wife looks like this, who's going to tease her?" Somebody in the crowd said.
The man immediately got angry. His wife was being criticized as ugly. He felt ashamed.
"Who said that? Come out if you dare!” The man pointed at the people in the crowd.
"Don't get angry, sir. What this man said was not about your wife's ugly appearance, but her heart, he meant your wife's heart is ugly."
Said a woman standing in front of the crowd.
It's better not to explain because when she explained, it seemed even worse. Because when the face was said to be ugly it’s just the appearance, but when the heart was called ugly, it meant that this person has no morality, no manners or is cruel. No matter what it was, it’s not a good word.
The man immediately became angry, he pointed at the woman who was talking, "Say it again?"
The woman who just spoke said, "It’s true that your wife has no manners."
The man raised his hand to beat the woman who was talking. His wife grabbed his hand in time and whispered, "Don't cause trouble here."
Just as the man wanted to scold his wife, he found that her clothes were dirty. His face changed again, "You spent more than 1000 yuan on your clothes. How did it become like this?"
"My daughter made it dirty." Matthew’s face was cold, he said calmly. He looked at the man with a pair of cold oppressive eyes.
The man was startled by his eyes for a while.
"It was his daughter who made my clothes dirty. I was so angry that I slapped his daughter."
When his wife was talking, the man didn't hear a word. His brain was buzzing for a long time.
When he came back to his senses, he said haughtily, "Your daughter has made my wife’s clothes dirty, you have to pay for it.”
"Here's the money." Armand kicked the bag on the ground. The cash in red came out from the bag. The man looked down and was stunned. That’s a lot!
