Chapter 303: Chapter 303 The Old Witch

Those two damn kids hit her, and they definitely couldn’t afford to pay, so she simply decided to make them compensate her with the fabric instead.

With this thought, Wang Erfeng spoke irrationally, "What else could it be? They tried to steal something and got caught by me before they could succeed. In a fit of shame and anger, they hit me. Unless they compensate me with this fabric, neither of them is leaving today."

Wang Erfeng’s blatant greed for the goods was so obvious that Gu Jianbin’s face could hardly maintain its dignity.

"Mom, if they didn’t manage to steal anything, let’s just let them go!"

Gu Jianli also said, "Yeah! Mom, let them go!"

This young girl was so skinny; how could she possibly be strong enough to beat his mom? He was sure his mom was lying again. He didn’t even know which village this young girl was from, but she was incredibly good-looking.

Gu Jianli had some thoughts crossing his mind.

He was twenty-eight this year and still unmarried. Previously, his family wasn’t well-off, and he had health issues too, which meant he didn’t have the resources to marry early.

In the past two years, as life got better, he started looking for someone more attractive.

But with his bad leg and unimpressive appearance, the average beautiful girl wouldn’t give him a second glance.

He was well aware of that.

So he’d always thought that if he found a girl from a less well-to-do family, maybe she wouldn’t mind his defects.

But over the last two years, he’d had several matchmaking sessions. Either the girls weren’t attractive enough, or they didn’t fancy him.

If he had ever met a girl like the one in front of him, he would have been married by now.

"Are you two even my sons?" Wang Erfeng couldn’t help but lash out at her sons, "Your mom was hit, and you two are acting like tortoises tucking in their heads. What’s the use of raising you?"

She had thought her sons would stand up for her. Instead, they turned out to be even more cowardly than the other.

She was furious.

Her husband would’ve been more useful. If he were here, this wretched brat would have been flattened long ago.

"Mom, there are so many people around watching. Aren’t you embarrassed by making a scene?" Gu Jianbin’s face turned red with shame. Licheng wasn’t that big; people did their shopping here, and if his school teachers or classmates saw this, where would he put his face?

Moreover, what kind of mother curses her own sons like this?

"Embarrassed about what?" Wang Erfeng’s voice rose even louder, "They didn’t feel embarrassed attempting to steal. Why should I be embarrassed? Just look at them. Do they look like they can afford fabric? Maybe they stole it from someone else."

With their shabby clothes, there was no way they could afford so much fabric.

And no adult would give them so much money!

They must have stolen it.

"Old woman, watch your language. Don’t think I wouldn’t dare to deal with you just because your sons are here. Keep accusing us of stealing and see what happens," Lu Siyuan glared at Wang Erfeng, regretting not having teamed up with Shen Mianmian to beat her earlier. Now with her sons defending her, it might not be so easy to get back at her.

As he thought this, he cursed again, "Old witch."

Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Truth be told, this was the first time she had seen Lu Siyuan curse like that, and he did it quite aptly.

When Gu Jianbin and Gu Jianli heard Lu Siyuan cursing Wang Erfeng, they were just about to explode in anger when they heard Shen Mianmian’s laughter.

They were instantly dazzled by her smile.

The girl was naturally beautiful, and with her crisp laughter, her eyes curved like crescents, making everyone feel as though they were tasting sweet dates.

Any anger they had was immediately suppressed.

Wang Erfeng had thought that when Lu Siyuan cursed at her, her sons would finally stand up for her, but after waiting for a while, she saw no reaction from them. Not only that, but they were also staring at that little wretch.
