Chapter 703 Losing Money
Chapter 703 Losing Money
At this time, everyone in Yard No. 2 was alarmed and came out. Even at the gate of the yard, there were some people watching the fun.
Mrs. Jin and Zhuang Jingjing helped persuade the children to stop fighting.
As a result, one of the children kicked Zhuang Jingjing viciously in the knee. Zhuang Jingjing was caught off guard and felt pain. Her leg bent and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, there was someone nearby who was quick to help her.
Zhuang Jingjing quickly thanked him, and when she looked up, she was a little surprised to see that the person who helped her was Meng Mingzhen from the backyard.
Mrs. Jin also saw the child kicking someone, so she quickly grabbed the child by the collar and slapped him twice on the buttocks fiercely, then asked in a cold voice:
"If you have a naughty kid and no one at home teaches him/her, don't blame us for helping to teach him/her!"
"We mean well, you're welcome!"
There were five or six naughty kids who came to Yard No. 2 and climbed onto the ping-pong table, but except for the first kid who was slapped and started crying by the second kid, no one came out to claim it.
Even if the child was slapped twice and started crying, no one came forward to claim him.
Mrs. Jin laughed angrily and asked the onlookers outside, "Don't you know him?"
The onlookers' eyes flickered and they shifted their gazes, but the main person did not answer.
After a while, a voice came out from the crowd: "Since you are so strong and arrogant, why not send them all to the Public Security Bureau!"
As soon as this voice fell, many people echoed it.
Ye Shu listened and sneered in his heart.
Send to the Public Security Bureau?
This person speaks so firmly, it seems that he has nothing to fear?
She looked at the three little ones and found that they were not injured, which made her feel relieved.
The child who was beaten by Mrs. Jin immediately started crying and struggling. Is he trying to run away?
Not only him, several other children also wanted to run away.
At this moment, Xiao Gao came with a few patrol soldiers: "What are you arguing about?"
They squeezed through the crowd and then happened to block the exit. The children who wanted to run had nowhere to run.
Ye Shu felt relieved when he saw him coming.
When Mrs. Jin and the others saw Xiao Gao appear, they felt relieved. At least, they would not suffer any loss!
Then you can focus on solving the current problem.
Ye Shu stared at the woman protecting her child and asked:
"What's your name? Where do you live? I need to pay twenty dollars for this ping-pong table. Are you going to pay it yourself, or will you ask everyone else to pay for it together?"
The woman obviously didn't want to pay attention to her.
Ye Shu was not in a hurry and continued: "It makes no difference to me whether you pay me 20 yuan alone or all of you pay me 20 yuan together."
The woman then jumped up in anger:
"You're obsessed with money, woman? A broken table, worth twenty dollars? Besides, this table belongs to the small park. You moved our collective belongings into your yard without our consent. We didn't ask you for an explanation, but you're asking us for money first? You're dreaming!"
Ye Shu laughed: "Who told you that my ping-pong table belongs to the park?"
Her calmness formed a sharp contrast with the woman's anger and impatience.
The woman subconsciously retorted: "Isn't it?"
Ye Shu: "Of course not! Otherwise, you can go to the small park and see if the table is still there, and then see if that table is the same as the one in my house."
The small park is not far from here, and two curious people ran over to take a look.
Xiao Gao also asked a soldier to go with him.
After a while, the result came out: "The ping-pong table in the small park is still there."
Ye Shu: "So, pay for it!"
The woman's expression changed for a while. As ordinary people in the city, they have their own way of surviving and doing things.
Now he changed his tone: "It's just a little quarrel between children. Since you can afford a ping-pong table, you can't be so stingy, right?"
"It's normal for children to play and make noise. They'll be fine after a while! Why are you making such a fuss?"
Ye Shu laughed: "It seems that you are the first one to rush in and argue?"
The woman's face looked a little ugly, then she smiled apologetically:
"That's because I'm worried about my son. I finally gave birth to him, and he's my sweetheart. If you hit him, I'll definitely be heartbroken and want to stand up for him."
Ye Shu corrected him, "It wasn't us. It was your son and my son who had a disagreement. He wanted to hit my son, but he got hit back by my son. That's all."
The woman was annoyed, but she agreed with her words: "Yes, yes, it's just the children fighting. If that's the case, why are you holding us back?"
Ye Shu: "This is one matter, now let's deal with another. You guys broke this ping-pong table, you have to pay for it!"
The woman gritted her teeth, her eyes darting back and forth across the tilted ping-pong table. "What's broken? It's all good, isn't it? It's not broken, but you insist on saying it is. Are you trying to extort money?"
Ye Shu pointed at a few places: "Isn't this it?"
The woman was furious: "This is all mud the kids got when they climbed up there. It's not bad at all. Is there something wrong with your eyes?! And you're saying you're not trying to extort money on purpose?!"
Ye Shu looked very surprised. He reached out and touched the table, then said in a surprised tone, "It really is!"
Then he looked at the woman and said, "Since it's not broken, the mud was made by your son and them. So please clean this ping-pong table!"
It doesn’t mean that you don’t have to pay the price just because the table is not broken!
If it gets dirty, it has to be washed clean!
The woman refused.
Ye Shu pretended not to see it and just said:
"Either you do it yourself, or you get other parents to help you. No one of you can leave until this ping-pong table is restored to its original pristine state."
There are patrolling soldiers guarding the gate of the courtyard.
The woman naturally would not take on the task alone at this time, so she pointed at the children and called their adults.
However, those people ran away as soon as they saw that something was wrong.
Anyway, they won’t compensate you, and they definitely won’t clean the table!
It's just children playing around, is it worth making a big deal out of it?
So embarrassing!
The woman had no choice but to scrub the ping-pong table clean herself with a brush in frustration.
Ye Shu sat under the eaves to supervise the work.
Sister Jin and Zhuang Jingjing came over to talk to her:
"The hall is clear. Her surname is Wu, her name is Wu Xiaolin, and she lives in Yard 11. She is the only daughter in her family, so her husband is married into the family. He works in a machinery factory."
"The only child here today is her son, Wu Jiabao. She also has a daughter, but she's not here."
Mrs. Jin's voice was loud and she was speaking on purpose for Wu Xiaolin to hear.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Xiaolin threw the brush down and said coldly, "That's it!"
