Witty Wife, Better Life

Chapter 422: Chapter 412 Taxue Up

When all was said and done, Shen Yunfang’s point was that she could give the money, but it had to be given to Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen, and Uncle Shen must be present for her to hand over the cash.

As for what Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen did with the money afterward, she couldn’t control it. Anyway, she had paid her money and returned the favor, and from then on, no one should repeatedly bring up past kindnesses to claim debts.

Of course, Shen Yunfang felt that if she could pay off the debts of gratitude by giving Uncle Shen some money now, it would still be a win for her. Everyone says that monetary debts are easy to repay, but debts of gratitude are hard to repay. She felt sure that in the future her achievements would be much greater than they are now, so it would be best to shut these people up at this time.

Shen Yunxiu, on the other hand, didn’t see it this way at all. She thought that Shen Yunfang simply didn’t want to give the money and was deliberately picking a fight. Her dad might not be there, but her mom was, right? Who else besides her parents should the money be given to? Why did it have to be her dad who was present?

Shen Yunxiu rolled up her sleeves, ready to charge over and teach Shen Yunfang a lesson, something she’d wanted to do for quite a while.

"I think you’re just looking for trouble, aren’t you? Just say whether you’re going to give the money or not," she blurted out.

Seeing her stance, Shen Yunfang raised her eyebrows, "What’s this, you’re trying to rob me now?"

"So what if I am? Just hurry up and give the money," Shen Yunxiu retorted without thinking.

By that time, she had already charged over. Shen Yunfang was pushing the cart, with children in front and back, and genuinely couldn’t free her hands at the moment. As Shen Yunxiu was nearly upon her, Shen Yunfang, fearing the woman would go crazy and hurt the kids, hastily shouted, "Taxue!"

Taxue had been ready for a long time behind her, nearly twisting its butt off, and shot out like lightning at its master’s command.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Shen Yunxiu’s screams suddenly filled the scene.

Standing up, Taxue was one and a half meters tall, toppling Shen Yunxiu easily. Its big head swayed in front of Shen Yunxiu, showing its sharp teeth and frightening her into yelling, "Mom, Mom, save me quickly!"

Aunt Shen only then realized what was happening. Although she was a little afraid of the dog herself, she had to rush over and rescue her daughter from it.

"You damn dog, what are you trying to pull? Get away from her!" Aunt Shen, having nothing in hand and not daring to touch Taxue directly, knew that if a dog enters an attack state, even its owner shouldn’t approach it carelessly, lest they too get bitten.

"Yunfang, what are you doing? Call off your dog right now. If Yunxiu gets bitten, I won’t let this go," she shouted.

"Auntie, didn’t you see just now that Shen Yunxiu was about to hit me? If Taxue hadn’t come out, if she had hit me, or if she had hurt my children, wouldn’t you also never let it go?" Shen Yunfang asked coldly.

Aunt Shen was at a loss for words; she hadn’t anticipated her daughter would resort to violence, so her reaction had indeed been slow.

"Shen Yunfang, you better call off this damn dog right now, or wait and see. As long as I’m fine today, never mind you, I’ll kill your two brats later..." Shen Yunxiu threatened.

Shen Yunfang’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and she blew a sharp whistle.

Obeying the command, Taxue, with its mouth wide open, happily took a chunk out of the thigh of the person beneath it.

Shen Yunxiu was caught off guard and didn’t expect Shen Yunfang’s dog to actually bite her, so when she felt intense pain in her leg, she was momentarily stunned. But the next moment, she let out a dreadful howl.

Aunt Shen, terrified, threw caution to the wind, trying to push Taxue away and rescue her daughter from the dog’s jaws.

Taxue sensed her approach, turned around, and bared its teeth at her, still with traces of blood on them from biting Shen Yunxiu’s thigh, looking extremely terrifying.

"Oh my goodness, someone help, it’s a matter of life and death!" Old Lady Shen was flailing her hands, not knowing what to do, and could only stand there wailing.

The scream from Shen Yunxiu had already been very loud, and the people around were already alerted, with quite a few good-hearted folks coming over to see what the commotion was about.

The events that followed could only be described as chaotic.

Those who came for the spectacle, seeing that it was a mad dog (as normal dogs do not attack people, only mad dogs do) inflicting harm, dared not to get any closer, and a few even turned and ran home to grab something to beat the dog with, while others ran towards the nearest police station.

Seeing that quite a few people had gathered, Shen Yunfang shouted, "Taxue, come back."

Upon hearing the command, Taxue immediately reverted to being the silly dog and trotted back to Shen Yunfang’s side, whimpering for praise.

The two children on the bicycle watched with wide eyes, excited beyond belief to see Taxue so valiant, able to help their mother subdue the bad guy. Once Taxue completed its task and returned, Pangpang quickly peeked his little body out from behind his mother, barely reaching Taxue’s big head with his little hand and clumsily petting it, praising the dog, "Good dog, Taxue is the best."

Manman also turned around, wanting to pet the dog just like her brother, but she was sitting in the front, too far away from the back. Her little arms and hands couldn’t reach, so she could only wave her hands in the air and shout, "Taxue, great job!"

On the other side, Old Lady Shen saw that Taxue had finally left her daughter alone and hurried forward to try and help her daughter up, but Shen Yunxiu shrugged her off, not letting her touch.

Shen Yunxiu was now holding a grudge against her own mother, who had just stood by, wringing her hands outside without coming to her rescue.

"Oh, this isn’t a mad dog." Those watching the drama saw the dog that bit someone being so obedient and realized it had an owner.

"Indeed, you scared me there."

Once the danger seemed over, the onlookers all gathered around and began to chatter and gossip about Shen Yunxiu and Taxue.

Shen Yunxiu shot Shen Yunfang a vicious glance before sitting up from the ground on her own and started crying, the speed of her change in demeanor was truly unparalleled.

While crying, she repeated her story of how she was bullied by the dog’s owner and how the dog’s owner then had the dog bite her. Of course, in her telling, Shen Yunfang was like a tyrant, an outrage letting her dog commit such brutality.

Shen Yunfang watched her performance with a cold eye, not believing that the neighbors around didn’t recognize who Shen Yunxiu was or understand her character.

Shen Yunxiu was known for her temperament; she was so indulged by her elders back in Gaijiatun, never one to suffer in silence. Shen Yunfang couldn’t believe that Shen Yunxiu would quietly live her days after getting married, she must have already caused countless conflicts at her in-laws’. Someone like her wanted to be seen as an innocent flower, but it required ability to pull off that image.

As expected, after hearing Shen Yunxiu’s tearful complaint, some people couldn’t help but snicker, although most gave her some face, enduring the discomfort to listen to her nonsensical ramblings.

Before Shen Yunxiu could finish her sob story, the police comrades from the station finally arrived.

Without further ado, all the parties involved, including the dog, were taken away.
