The next morning, Su Wan called Chi Jia to take her to the restaurant which was closest to the Lai family. She thought that she would be the only one there but to her surprise, she found her mother-in-law, father-in-law, headmaster Yuan and even Fei Qinfan sitting in the VIP box.
" What are you doing here?" She asked with a surprised look on her face. She did not expect that her in-laws would come to watch the show as well. Were they not all about peace? Why did they come here? And they looked quite excited to watch the show as well.
" Humph, I know everything. Your father told me what these bastards tried to do to you, it's only right that I see them get troubled with my own eyes," said Mother Lin with a twisted sneer. She was a gentlewoman but Su Wan was her daughter-in-law and the mother of her grandchildren, if something happened to her then their family would have fallen to nothing but crumbles.
How could she not be angry upon knowing that this family tried to ruin her daughter-in-law? She was not only here to watch the show but she was also here to see how terrible the condition of the Lai family becomes once her daughter-in-law's plan was done.
On the other hand, Headmaster Yuan and Fei Qinfan slurped on their noodles before Fei Qinfan said in a haughty voice, " I am here to watch how that woman's plans fall apart. She is really annoying, it will be fun to watch her plans falling into shambles."
" I am just here for fun," stated Headmaster Yuan straightforwardly as he continued to watch the street through the window. " However that woman is quite late, next time make sure to pick a woman who knows the value of time, Xiao Wan. Look at this, she is so late... I have eaten more than two bowls of noodles and she is not here."
Su Wan did not know whether to laugh or cry when she heard the words of Headmaster Yuan. Was she someone who schemed against others daily? What did he mean by picking someone who was not tardy next time?
" Oh they are here," Fei Qinfan chimed a second later causing everyone to turn their attention to the window even Su Wan walked over to the table and then sat down such that she could see what was happening through the window.
Madam Ding told her mother about the gold bracelet that her husband took away with him after watching the show. She told her that her mother that as long as they made a fuss they could get the ten taels of dowry as well as the golden bracelet which she would then hand over to her mother who could sell it and then live in comfort.
She even added that if they were lucky enough then they could get the temple to pay them compensation.
Thus Old Madam Ding gave it her all while performing in front of the others.
" My daughter went to a temple, the place where everyone goes to pray. It's a place where blessings and prayers are collected and yet my daughter was ruined at such a holy place! What were the guards doing? Why did they not stop that man from stopping my daughter inappropriately?
Now look at this she is divorced and the man refuses to pay back her dowry as he thinks she is embarrassing while the one who ruined her wants two thousand taels!"
" I am an old widow, I don't even have two taels to rub together. You tell me what am I going to do now? My daughter was happily married, she served her elders and took care of the young ones now she is like this, you tell me how am I going to deal with this?
If the Lai family does not give me an answer today then I am going to head over to the county magistrate's office and ask if the women in this city are even safe or not."
After speaking she banged her head on the ground loudly while crying like her heart was being torn apart.
