Chapter 758: Wan Ping'an gets the money back

Seeing her mother being scolded like this by Wan Ping'an, Jia Dongxu ignored the burning pain in his cheeks, stood up, and blocked his mother, saying: "What right do you have to scold my mother? What did my mother do wrong?"

"You two, mother and son, are acting together to cheat for money; isn't that wrong enough?" Wan Ping'an glared and scolded.

"What acting? You're talking nonsense! You're wronging my mother, and my son dares to stop me; you're simply lawless." Jia Zhangshi also shouted excitedly.

Seeing this, Wan Ping'an was so angry he laughed, pointing at Jia Dongxu:

"Heh heh, Jia Dongxu, you little bastard, you've got guts! Since you're protecting your mother so much, alright, let's go to the police station right now to seek justice."

"No!" Jia Dongxu shouted hurriedly.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid?" Wan Ping'an looked at Jia Dongxu mockingly.

"I'm certainly not afraid, but I don't want you to report it," Jia Dongxu said, lowering his head weakly.

"Haha! Coward! You really are a coward just like your parents!" Wan Ping'an laughed wildly.

Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and looked at Wan Ping'an: "You... you're bullying me because I'm a fool and I can't beat you."

Hearing this, Wan Ping'an sneered: "Can't beat me? Just because you can't beat me, does that mean I won't hit you? I'm telling you, this account must be settled clearly today!"

As he spoke, Wan Ping'an reached out to grab Jia Dongxu's chest.

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu hurriedly used his arms to protect his chest.

Jia Zhangshi also stopped caring about her face, took fifteen yuan out of her pocket, and gave it to Wan Ping'an.

"First Elder, it was my fault. I shouldn't have played superstitious tricks, and I shouldn't have gone to your house to steal money. I broke the rules of the courtyard," Jia Zhangshi said, blushing as she apologized to Wan Ping'an.

"Heh! Jia Zhangshi, so you know. Why didn't you think of this when you were stealing people's money? You are truly ungrateful and shameless."

Although Jia Dongxu didn't understand, hearing his mother apologize to others made his heart ache.

"First Elder, my mother has apologized to you. Let's leave it at that. The money has been given to you, and it was my mother who was wrong."

Jia Dongxu explained to Wan Ping'an. Wan Ping'an was now the First Elder of the Sihe Academy, so he couldn't keep fussing over it, and Wan Ping'an didn't say anything more.

"Hmph! You two, mother and son, are truly a perfect match! Remember, you are not allowed to play superstitious tricks again!"

After saying this, Wan Ping'an flicked his sleeves, and the rest of the courtyard residents left.

Seeing the crowd disperse, Jia Zhangshi finally breathed a sigh of relief, took Jia Dongxu's hand, and touched her son's swollen face with heartache, asking with concern: "Dongxu, are you alright? Does it hurt?"

"Mom..." Seeing Jia Zhangshi's loving gaze, Jia Dongxu felt a sourness in his nose and almost cried.

"Mom, how could you believe other people's words, and how could you steal other people's money!" Jia Dongxu choked up.

"Sigh! Xuxu... Mom was wrong. Mom didn't want to, either. Mom just wanted those five yuan. Why does everyone else have it, but our family doesn't?"

"Mom, that day the First Elder told you not to pour water at the doorway, but you insisted on doing it. If it weren't for that, Wan Ping'an wouldn't have said he would give the courtyard residents a subsidy to repair the channel at the doorway." ===== CHAPTER 760 =====
