Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies-Chapter 85 - 83: Is Regret Useful?

Rong Yan had slapped her several more times before she finally stopped, her eyebrows cold. "You can talk nonsense again, I don’t mind if my hand hurts."

At this point, Mrs. Xu could barely see anything clearly; she had only two sensations throughout her body... dizziness and pain.

Her head spun violently, while her face throbbed intensely.

She was genuinely terrified by the dozen or so slaps she had received.

She couldn’t stand upright and fell directly to the ground.

"Ah..."

team leader: ...

Why bother?

"team leader, you saw it, it’s not that my wife is harsh, it’s that this old woman’s mouth is too poisonous. My wife, Xin Shan, only slapped her a few times to resolve the matter. If this had been a man, I wouldn’t have let him breathe easily today."

Qin Ye’s words made the team leader’s mouth twitch.

He really didn’t know what to say anymore.

However, upon further reflection, he realized there seemed to be some truth in those words.

If someone dare slander his wife, he would certainly not care about their gender—they’d come in upright and leave horizontal.

"This matter..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when he heard Qin Ye speak again. "This matter isn’t over today, I’ve already had Qin Yu report this. She wanted to save her daughter and threw a basin of dirty water on my wife. If we don’t clear this up, wouldn’t the grievances my wife suffered be in vain? team leader, don’t intervene in this."

team leader: ...

Damn, I am the team leader, how can I not intervene?

As long as you don’t cause trouble in this village— even if you kill someone, he wouldn’t be bothered to watch.

Seeing the couple’s identically indignant expressions, this matter truly couldn’t be easily settled.

"Fine, I won’t intervene then; we’ll wait for the police. But, if she falls seriously ill because of the cold..."

Rong Yan sneered, "What does that have to do with us? I was slandered like this yet I’m still standing here just fine, all thanks to my strong will. Otherwise, someone less articulate would’ve been shamed into drowning themselves."

team leader: ...

He turned his head to look at the person on the ground, showing the last bit of his compassion.

"Mrs. Xu, the matter you mentioned really didn’t happen. Rong Zhiqing and Qin Ye are actually on good terms. Otherwise, how could this house have been built? Look, why don’t you just apologize to Qin Ye’s wife, and I’ll have someone light a fire to dry your clothes."

So you don’t end up seriously ill from the cold.

Mrs. Xu was genuinely freezing, her teeth chattering uncontrollably; she couldn’t stand it any longer.

She was truly scared.

"Right, I’m sorry, I—I spoke nonsense..."

The team leader saw she was relenting and breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Rong Yan. "Qin Ye’s Wife, you see..."

Rong Yan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Just a sorry is enough? Then what’s the point of having police in this world? But, if you want to take her to warm up by the fire, then go ahead. However, if she escapes, it’s you I’ll be looking for..."

team leader: ...

At that moment, he wanted to curse.

Damn it, his good deed had brought him trouble?

Mrs. Xu didn’t want to die. She knew very well that if she stayed like this even for another hour or so, she would definitely develop a serious illness.

So, she quickly said to the team leader, "team leader, you are such a good person. I’m so cold; can I go warm up by the fire now? Could I possibly borrow some dry clothes?"

The team leader’s face darkened upon hearing her request.

Borrow clothes?

Who would be willing to lend out their cotton clothes these days?

She really was... ugly in appearance but had beautiful thoughts.

With a stiff face, "No clothes available, go warm up by the fire..."

Once again regretting that he should have acted as if he knew nothing at all, he should not have come here at all.
