Chapter 523: Chapter 526 Is He Causing Trouble?_1
Jiang’s Clan wanted to cover Little Treasure’s mouth, but she was ultimately a step too slow.
Little Treasure’s shameless remarks made the onlookers curse under their breath, could he be any more brazen?
"The betrothal gifts alone are worth several taels of silver, yet he says he begrudges the betrothal gifts? Could Little Treasure’s brain be sick?"
"Like mother, like son, it’s no surprise given what Jiang’s Clan is like."
"What do you know? The betrothal gifts may look splendid, but the bulk of it goes out with Chao Lian. Didn’t you see Jiang’s Clan just now, trying to keep the jewelry for herself?"
"Could it be that Little Treasure and Jiang’s Clan have colluded?"
Some among the crowd raised their eyebrows, what is there not to understand about this spectacle?
Little Treasure’s just a child who pisses under him, and if he’s already thinking about wringing chicken necks, what’s to stop him from murder and robbery in the future?
So it must surely be Jiang’s Clan who is pulling the strings from behind.
But in fact, it was Little Treasure himself who did it. Even Jiang’s Clan only found out after seeing the wound pecked by the chicken.
With his neck outstretched, Little Treasure said, "My sister was raised by my mother. How could Sun Erhu offer my mother only this much money? Why would my mother agree to this marriage? She could sell a pig for a good sum of silver!"
He suddenly felt justified, and his earlier fear was now gone without a shadow. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Jiang’s Clan and Lin Jinshun were kneeling on the ground, both could not stop trembling.
"Lin Qiaolian is Little Treasure’s older sister, how can you tolerate such insolence from him?"
Chen Yiling said discontentedly, an elder sister is like a mother, and Little Treasure’s nonsense was a form of filial disobedience.
Lin Jinshun steeled his heart and slapped Little Treasure across the face.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? Your sister raised you single-handedly, how could you talk about her that way? Kneel down and apologize now!"
Lin Jinshun used half of his strength for the slap, Little Treasure’s face immediately turned red.
It wasn’t that he was heartless, but without making it look serious, he had no way to explain to Lord Qin.
Little Treasure covered his face, crying and saying, "I’m not wrong, that’s what my mother told you. Why don’t you hit her and hit me instead?"
Now, the Lin Family’s reputation was completely sold out by Little Treasure.
Turns out Lin Family raised Qiaolian just like raising a pig, just to exchange her for silver.
Jiang’s Clan, such greedy women like her deserve to have an ungrateful child like Little Treasure. Otherwise, how could you say that those who do not belong in the same family do not enter the same door?
However, what goes around comes around. Jiang’s Clan has Little Treasure to deal with, and Little Treasure will not end up with a good outcome.
"If I tell you to shut up, then don’t speak! I think you’re just asking for it, deserving a good beating!"
Jiang’s Clan made a show of hitting Little Treasure a couple of times. Little Treasure was bound to receive a beating today. If she did it herself, she could control the strength and at least not end up harming Little Treasure too badly.
Little Treasure was beaten until it hurt, so he knelt silently beside his parents without a word.
Yet he still didn’t feel he was in the wrong, the one at fault was Sun Erhu.
If Sun Erhu weren’t so rich and stingy, not willing to give a bigger betrothal offering despite affording a house, lands, and jewelry, would he have strangled those chickens?
"Lord Qin, Little Treasure is still a child, he was just being playful for a moment, please give him another chance!"
Lin Jinshun was finding it hard to speak fluently.
Qin Longyun stroked his chin, "This matter is of a vile nature, it can’t simply be overlooked as child’s play."
"Shun Zi, didn’t you just vouch for your son with your personal integrity, saying it wasn’t Little Treasure who did it? How come now it’s become a matter of being playful?"
Someone couldn’t help but say mockingly.
Lin Jinshun was choked up and had no way to explain.
"Lord Qin, this must be severely punished. Otherwise, other children may think that killing a chicken is as trivial as playing. If they all follow suit, what are we to do?"
