Chapter 220: The Fun Continues
Chapter 220: The Fun Continues
Even the slowest person would realize upon hearing this that the dirty water she had spilled was now being poured back on her.
In her haste, without even thinking, she loudly interrupted the old lady:
"Grandma, you're so old and your head is spinning. Don't just spout nonsense!" After saying that, she tucked the things in her collar even deeper.
Who is the one person in this world you absolutely must not offend?
The youngest and the oldest.
The old lady has been the "boss" for decades, and this is the first time in all these years that someone has ever scolded her.
Who dares to act arrogantly in front of her?
The old woman's face darkened, and she began to rattle off a string of words:
"Your skin's loose now, is it because there's no man in the house to keep it tight for you? How dare you talk to your elders like that! I bet you stole some young girl's money and you're feeling guilty and scared now!"
She said she stole money, but the contempt in her face and tone made it sound like she had stolen someone else's life.
The middle-aged woman was so angry at being insulted so openly in public that her face turned red. She stammered for a long time, not knowing how to respond.
Clearly, this middle-aged woman, who habitually sneaks around and has never learned her lesson, has gotten herself into a very serious problem.
"You can't say anything now that you've hit the nail on the head? I'm telling you, you're not young anymore. Your own kids are about the same age as these two girls, right? How dare you steal their money? Aren't you afraid your kids will follow your example and end up in jail with you when they grow up!"
The old lady kept talking, her words flying everywhere, and every sentence hit the most important points in the minds of middle-aged women.
This enraged the middle-aged woman so much that her eyes blazed with anger, and she began to speak incoherently.
"You old hag, what did you say! Say it again if you dare! With such a foul mouth, aren't you afraid that no one will collect your body and burn paper money for you after you die!"
She pointed directly at the old woman's nose and started cursing, completely engrossed in a passionate exchange of insults. She had long forgotten that the wallet she was carrying was actually hers.
"Hey! You shameless bastard, you steal money from young girls and disrespect your elders. It's a shame your husband's family line has ended with you, having a mother and wife like you!"
The old lady kept spewing insults, each one more scathing than the last. The two sisters watched in stunned silence, too afraid to even breathe.
I was afraid that she wouldn't be satisfied with just scolding one person, so she would drag the two of them into it as well.
The other onlookers reacted similarly, their expressions varying as they watched the verbal battle unfold. Disgust, excitement, curiosity, and more were all present…
But they stayed far away from the battle zone, afraid of being accidentally hit.
"You old hag, I'll tear your rotten mouth apart!" The middle-aged woman stretched out her arm, pointed at the old lady, and took two steps forward.
"What, you want to hit this old woman? Come on, even if you have ten times the guts, try touching me today, and I'll make sure your whole family never has a moment's peace, you believe me!"
After saying that, the old lady puffed out her chest and leaned in, acting extremely arrogant.
As the situation escalated, the middle-aged woman nearly lost her temper and couldn't help but try to attack the old woman.
We can't let these two keep causing trouble. If they really start fighting and attract the attention of the night patrol officers to investigate, they won't be able to escape tonight's consequences!
But the situation has now spiraled out of control to the point that the two sisters can only stare at each other, unsure of what to do.
Just as they were getting anxious and wondering if there was any way to solve the problem, an unexpected event occurred...
"You think you're right to steal my things? Are you looking for trouble?!" A man was cursing at someone in front of him.
There's never a shortage of people watching a spectacle; each spectacle only becomes more captivating than the last.
And sure enough, with a new commotion, everyone's attention immediately shifted. What's the point of just listening to two old ladies arguing? Let's leave, let's go see the new excitement!
The old lady and the middle-aged woman weren't fools. If they made a bigger scene, they and their families would only lose face.
Regardless of what they had started arguing about, taking advantage of the fact that few people were watching their drama, they muttered something under their breath and quickly went their separate ways.
I wonder if they went back to their own homes, or if they secretly moved to another place to continue watching other people's drama unfold...
Does anyone care about the money on the middle-aged woman? Does it belong to the two sisters?
Of course not!
People just enjoy watching the drama; they don't want to cause trouble for others. What business is it of theirs whether other people's money is lost or not?
There might even be a few people who are poor themselves and resentful of others' wealth, secretly hoping they'll lose their money. After all, they have money to burn and still wander around aimlessly; they deserve to lose it.
There were also people with a strong sense of justice, such as the young woman who initially offered to help them look for their purses.
Seeing the middle-aged woman leave as if nothing had happened, while the two sisters stood there dumbfounded, she wanted to step forward and stop the woman.
As a result, he was dragged away from the "battlefield" by his good friend who was with him.
The two sisters could still faintly hear their conversation.
"Why are you pulling me? That old lady took the money from the two girls and ran away!" Although one arm was bound, the girl's body was still trying to turn back.
Her best friend helplessly advised her, "Little Lotus, can you please mind your own business? How many times have you been scolded like this? Haven't you had enough?"
“But their money was…” She stood rooted to the spot, refusing to move on, as stubborn as the two sisters who used to watch videos of dark-colored blond hair on short video platforms!
My friend's forehead veins bulged whenever he recalled the thrilling and dangerous experience they had last gone out together.
"You're so sure what they're saying is true? Didn't you learn your lesson last time?"
“That old lady looked so pitiful last time, who knew she was lying to me… But this time it’s definitely different! Look at those two girls, they don’t look like the kind of people who would lie to you!”
Stubborn people have their own dignity. She just thought that the two girls were pretty and spoke softly, so they must be good people!
Her friend, unable to reason with her, simply grabbed her forcefully and walked away quickly: "Shen Xiaohe! Shut up! That old lady might not be able to hit an old lady, but she can hit you. She'll scratch your face, let's see where you cry then."
Come back with me right now! If you meddle in other people's business again, don't ask me to come out with you. I'm afraid if I get beaten to death, my parents won't even know where to bury me!
If it weren't for the bond they'd formed since birth, she would have left Shen Xiaohe here and let her get beaten up however she wanted!
Upon hearing her friend call her by her full name so harshly, Shen Xiaohe quickly shut her mouth, pouted, and obediently followed.
After listening to such a long conversation, the two sisters looked at each other in bewilderment. Suddenly, they felt that what they were doing seemed a bit wrong.
At the very least, it hurt someone who was genuinely concerned for them and wanted to help them!
If I ever run into that Miss Shen again, I'll make sure to explain things to her properly, thank her, and apologize!
Meanwhile, the new commotion started when the monkeys' owner got into a fight with someone while directing their performance...
