Chapter 55 Heartache Over Losing Money

"Pah, Mrs. Zhang, what business is my family's affair to you? Think you are some kind of savior?"

Mrs. Lai's short and stout legs bounced as she glared and traded insults with the other woman, her body so plump yet seemingly unconcerned about falling over.

"Who is meddling in your affairs? Your third daughter pushed my daughter into the river, my daughter got a fever and had to see the doctor, and you have to pay for that. My girl is still in bed, all groggy and asleep."

Mrs. Zhang, hands on her hips, retorted just as fiercely, demanding compensation with even more ferocity than the other.

Their mutual insults made everyone in the yard and the kitchen understand that Mrs. Zhang's daughter had fought with Ye Shuzhen, and both had caught a cold.

Usually, if both parties are to blame in a fight, no compensation would be expected, but since Ye Shuzhen was the first to strike, it was conceivable she might be asked to compensate.
