Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies-Chapter 82 - 80 Leave it to Me
Chapter 82: Chapter 80 Leave it to Me
Qin Yu was a quick-witted scamp, and seeing his sister-in-law speaking up for him, he immediately stood behind her.
Qin Ye couldn’t be bothered to argue with the little brat but still shot him a glare as a warning that if he dared to fabricate stories again, he certainly wouldn’t get off lightly.
"Someone outside is looking for you."
Rong Yan found this odd.
Ever since she’d shown off a thing or two some time ago, people from the Youth House had avoided her like the plague.
Who would come looking for her?
"Who?"
Qin Ye shook his head, "It’s a woman, never seen her before."
This was strange, but Rong Yan didn’t ask any further and went straight outside.
When she saw it was a middle-aged woman, she was slightly taken aback but didn’t show it, realizing that the woman seemed familiar and was likely someone the original host knew.
Before she could search her memory, the woman spoke up.
"Rong Yan, what, you can’t even greet me when you see me?" The middle-aged woman, Mrs. Xu, had a previously calm face that now darkened, and her gaze sharpened as she stared at Rong Yan.
By then, Rong Yan had guessed who this woman was.
She bore a slight resemblance to Xu Ke, so this had to be Xu Ke’s mother.
It seemed that Xu Ke’s mother had traveled all this way... to seek retribution from her.
With a cold expression, "Greet you? I don’t think there’s any need. After all, isn’t it a pleasure to have friends from afar? But for you... let’s not."
"Although I have a myriad of virtues, I do have one major flaw – I bear grudges, and I detest anyone associated with those I have issues with."
Mrs. Xu was infuriated, she really didn’t expect the usually reticent young girl to be so rude.
"Rong Yan, you ought to at least call me ’Auntie’. Is this how you treat your elders? It’s only been two years since you’ve come to the country, where are your manners?"
Rong Yan lifted her eyes and smiled, although the smile didn’t reach her eyes, "My manners were indeed devoured by some shameless people."
Mrs. Xu really wanted to slap her a few times, but remembering the purpose of her visit... she forcefully suppressed her anger.
Taking a deep breath, her tone was softer than before, "Rong Yan, I apologize for Auntie’s hurried tone just now, please forgive me. Can we find a quiet place to talk?"
Pausing for a moment, looking at the impassive face, she spoke again: "You wouldn’t want them to keep watching us, would you?"
Rong Yan raised her eyebrows, "What if they watch? I’ve done nothing to feel guilty about, I haven’t done anything despicable, nor have I harmed anyone."
Mrs. Xu: ...
Could she strike this wretched girl?
Her hands were itching.
"If that’s the case, let’s talk about Xu Ke’s matter!"
Rong Yan scoffed, "Talk about Xu Ke? What is there to talk about? She did those things, and it’s up to the Police Station to judge her. Unless, are you trying to apologize to me on Xu Ke’s behalf?"
Mrs. Xu felt like she was having a heart attack from the anger.
She was supposed to apologize to her? She dared to do so, and this wretched girl would accept?!
Taking a deep breath, the malice in her heart nearly uncontrollable.
"Rong Yan, about Xu Ke’s case, honestly, it was just a moment of folly for her, can you let it go?"
What outraged her the most was her own daughter... who had so cowardly confessed.
"How could you have admitted to something with no evidence whatsoever?"
She refused to believe that after so much time had passed, there could still be evidence.
But she found out too late, and wasn’t timely in her arrival. By the time she got here... after she had seen her daughter, she knew her daughter had confessed everything.
Thinking of this, she really wanted to smack Xu Ke’s head a few times to see what on earth was inside it. How could she be so foolish?
"I let her off?" Rong Yan sneered, "She ruined me, and you actually expect me to let her go? Is my brain filled with water? Or do I look like some kind of saint to you? Even if I had a charitable heart, I wouldn’t extend my charity to my enemies."
"If that were the case, that wouldn’t be kindness, that would be stupidity."
"Rong Yan, ’to err is human, to forgive divine.’ Aren’t you fine now? Xu Ke’s life is going to be destroyed because of this. She’s going to be sent to the Northwest Farm, and it’s very likely she’ll be laboring there for the next ten years."
Mrs. Xu stared at her, "Do you really have the heart to ruin her like this?"
Rong Yan raised an eyebrow and gave a cold laugh.
"Look at how you talk. Why shouldn’t I have the heart? Your victim narrative is truly bizarre."
"She’s ruined her latter life because she has serious issues with her thinking, and she needs labor reeducation to correct her. Since you, as her mother, couldn’t properly educate her with the right thinking, naturally there will be a place that can straighten her out."
"So, what you should do is persuade your daughter to labor well, strive to transform herself, and when she gets out in future, she must become a decent person and must never again harbor thoughts of harming others."
Mrs. Xu: ...
She was so infuriated by these words that she felt like her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were about to explode.
Her eyes were blazing with fury as she stared at Rong Yan: "You’re perfectly fine now, why can’t you just let her go?"
Rong Yan’s expression remained calm, "How am I fine? If it hadn’t been for her, with my results, I would have received my university admission notice and returned to the city for college a long time ago. Destroying someone’s future isn’t serious? Moreover, it’s not that I can’t let her go, but the law won’t allow it."
A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Speaking of which, she’s in this situation today because you are the biggest culprit. As her mother, you failed to educate her well, leading her to this slippery slope, following such a wrongful path. You should be the one reflecting. You’ve wasted national resources and raised such a daughter. Don’t you feel ashamed?"
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she nearlypassed out; she had never known a young girl to speak so sharply.
"Rong Yan, do you think that by harming Xu Ke, you can be with Ye Yu?"
As soon as she said this, Rong Yan stepped forward and slapped her twice.
"Slap, slap," the slaps left Mrs. Xu seeing stars.
Mrs. Xu hadn’t anticipated Rong Yan would get physical; after all, she was an elder. How dare she... how dare she raise her hand against her?
After regaining her senses, Mrs. Xu’s eyes widened in disbelief, "You dare strike me?"
She had actually been hit by a weak-looking junior?
"So what if I hit you? I should also take you to the Police Station." In Rong Yan’s eyes shone cold stars, "Now I finally understand where it comes from, how one can raise such problem-minded daughter. How good can the mother be?"
Mrs. Xu glared at her, "Am I wrong? You are so unforgiving towards Xu Ke, isn’t it all because of Ye Yu? You’re married, do you think Ye Yu could like a ’worn-out shoe’ like you?"
Rong Yan: "...?"
Her temper flared up in an instant.
She stepped forward to slap her again.
Mrs. Xu was hit so hard that her whole head was spinning, and the pain on her face made her want to retaliate, but she couldn’t muster the strength to fight back.
Only then did she realize how strong Rong Yan, this little wretch, actually was.
The other villagers who were working nearby were stunned. They watched the scene with their mouths agape.
What to do now?
Just at that moment, Qin Yu shouted at Rong Yan, "Sister-in-law, step aside..."
