Qian'e put the money in her waist bag and pushed the children's pram to leave. When Lu Lin saw that, she immediately blocked their way. Even Lu Lin's son pointed at Qian'e and said, "You can't leave! Give us the money!"
"Don't tell me you want to rob me openly because you can't get the money from me? I'll go to the designated department to pay the fine, but I definitely won't give it to you," Qian'e said.
"We have a share of this garden too. What's wrong with you giving it to us?" Lu Lin demanded.
Guo Feng stood at the door with Cui Cui and watched the entire scene unfold. She hid in a corner and did not dare to make a sound, even telling Cui Cui not to speak as well.
"I'll say it one last time. Move aside," Qian'e said angrily.
Lu Lin's son ignored Qian'e. He went straight for her waist bag and grabbed all the money inside. She immediately reached out to s.n.a.t.c.h the money back. An adult was definitely stronger than a child. As they tugged back and forth, the money scattered all over the ground and he fell down on the lawn.
"Ah!" Lu Lin's son screamed.
"Son! My son! What happened to you! Did you hurt yourself from the fall! Let me take a look!" Lu Lin went forward to hold her son and said with heartache.
Qian'e looked at the money scattered all over the ground and felt a little angry. She had happily brought the children out to play and definitely did not expect to run into such a shrew. Now that things had turned out like this, she wondered if she had caused trouble for Qiao Mei's family.
She pushed Xia Fan and Xia Xing to a shaded area under the trees. After settling the two children, she squatted down to pick up all the money. She had originally brought this money so that she could bring Qiao Mei to the county city to do some shopping. What an utterly unlucky day.
"You still want to pick up the money! You pushed my son and you still want to leave! This money is not even enough to compensate my son! You have to give us 5,000 dollars! You also have to bring us to see a doctor!" Lu Lin said as she made a scene.
More and more people gathered around them. Everyone was here to watch the commotion as no one wanted to miss out on such a good show.
Qian'e did not give in to Lu Lin. She sat on a bench at the side and said, "Either call the police or get the relevant department in this place to come and deal with it. I won't run away and I'll just wait here. I note that your son is hurt. If it's because of me, I'll bear the responsibility. If it's not, then you can't pin it on me."
"You! You! The facts are right in front of us! Why should we call the police! Just give us the money!" Lu Lin said.
Qian'e stood up and shouted towards the crowd, "I'm from that side. If any of you know Qiao Mei, help me tell her to come and bring the children home first. Don't let the children get heatstroke on such a hot day! I'll stay here and I won't run away!"
Liu Yun immediately replied, "I'll go now! Wait for a while!"
Liu Yun hurriedly ran to w.a.n.g Nuo's house and shouted anxiously, "Bad news! Bad news! Qiao Mei, your friend has gotten into an argument with Lu Lin!"
"Huh? Is she injured?" Qiao Mei said calmly.
"Why aren't you anxious at all! It's a mess over there!" Liu Yun said agitatedly.
"She's definitely not the one who started it. Moreover, the mess must be on Lu Lin's side," Qiao Mei said as she cleared away w.a.n.g Nuo's bowl and chopsticks.
"Why do you know so much even though you aren't at the scene?" Liu Yun asked.
"Because I know her well. For such disputes, do we usually go to the police or call the people from the army? I'm new here and don't know about this. Do any of you know?" Qiao Mei said.
"We can't go to the police about our disputes. Even if we go to the police station, they'll tell us to come back and let our mediation department handle it. So you can just call the department directly," w.a.n.g Nuo said.
After Qiao Mei made the call, she also called Xia Zhe and asked him to meet the two of them there. After doing this, she slowly made her way to the garden with Liu Yun.
"Are you here to watch a good show too? I've already been watching for a long time," Qian'e said with a smile from her seat on the bench.
"Is that so? Let me see what kind of show it is." Qiao Mei sat beside Qian'e and handed the children to Liu Yun. She asked Liu Yun to push the pram to w.a.n.g Nuo's house and asked the two kids there to help take care of her children for now.
"You two! You actually gang up to bully me! There's really no justice in this world! My son!" Lu Lin sat on the ground and wailed.
