Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 579: Compensation? Encountering an old man who scammed

"Okay, I'll follow Madam's arrangements." Lu Huaijin trusted her unconditionally.

"I even went to visit my grandfather in prison. I showed him the letter and he said it wasn't written by him."

"It's expected, so now, the first thing we need to find is the person who wrote these letters."

"The most likely person is Prince Hong or Shen Wenting's man. I'll find a chance to go to Prince Hong and take a look first."

"Then I'll go with you."

"Okay." Yao Qingnian nodded.

The next day, Yao Qingnian planned to stroll around King Hong's place to get familiar with it, and then go in to take a look at night.

She was walking on the street when she suddenly saw an old man fall to the ground. As a doctor, Yao Qingnian saw that he was old, about the same age as the old Duke and the others. She had disguised herself anyway, so others would not be able to recognize him. So, without saying a word, she went forward to check on him. Unexpectedly, as she squatted down to take his pulse, her hand was grabbed by someone.

"Someone come! This girl bumped into me and wanted to run away. I'm an old man, at an advanced age. Ouch! My waist and head hurt. You are not allowed to leave. You have to pay me compensation!" The old man suddenly grabbed her hand, got up from the ground, and began to shout loudly, "Ouch, ouch."

The people around heard the shouting and ran over to ask, "What's going on?"

"It was her. She didn't look when she walked. I wanted to run away after I bumped into the old man. It hurts so much. My leg, ouch, I'm afraid it's broken."

Yao Qingnian held her forehead and saw him fainted. She came over with good intentions to check on him, but unexpectedly, she ran into an old man who was trying to scam her.

"I didn't hit him. I just saw him faint and was worried that something might have happened to him, so I came to check. Just as I was about to check, he caught me and falsely accused me of hitting him."

"It's her! You're a beautiful girl, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. No matter what, my leg is definitely broken, and you have to pay me compensation!" The old man simply collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up, holding her arm tightly.

"Let go!"

"No, unless you pay the money, what if you run away?!" The old man started to act like a rogue.

"Girl, he's old. I think you should pay the money. If someone dies, it won't be a matter of money."

"I didn't hit him, why should I pay compensation?" Yao Qingnian rolled her eyes. There was no surveillance in this era and no one saw it. She couldn't clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"If you didn't hit him, why did you go to help him?" The people nearby began to point fingers at her.

"This girl is young, but I didn't expect her to be irresponsible. This old man is old, how could he withstand such a fall? Just asking her to pay a little money is considered a bargain for her."

"You said I hit you, then let me ask you, do you have any evidence to prove it was me?!" If someone accuses you, don't rush to defend yourself, ask him to produce evidence.

"If it wasn't you, then who would it be? There's no one else here! You were the one who hit me! Pay me compensation!" The old man grabbed her and wouldn't let go.

"Old man, you are full of energy. I think there is nothing wrong with you. How about this, since you said that I hit you, then show us where I hit you and where you are injured?"

"Oh, my whole body aches. My old bones are about to fall apart. I fell pretty hard. I'm an old man all alone, childless, and my wife is gone. Life is already hard, and I'm left with a lot of illnesses after the fall. What should I do in the future? I see that she's a girl, so I couldn't bear to make things difficult for her, so I asked her to just give some silver. But not only did she refuse to admit it, she also planned to leave." As the old man spoke, he cried to everyone with tears and snot.

"How pitiful!" Everyone looked at the old man with sympathy.

"It doesn't mean whoever is pitiful is right. If you let go of your hands, I won't bother with you about what happened today. If you hold on to me again, I won't be polite." Yao Qingnian was speechless.

"Listen everyone, this girl is bullying an old man like me who is alone and helpless! When you were not here just now, she said even more outrageous things."

"You're not letting go, are you?"

"No, unless you give me money!"

"How much do you want?" Yao Qingnian glanced at him.

"One hundred taels!" The old man looked at her and saw that she was dressed well, so he asked for a lot of money.

"I'm sorry, old man. You hit the wrong person today. I won't give you a penny."

"Then let's just waste time. Anyway, I'm an old man and I don't have much, but I have a lot of time." The old man was determined to rely on her today.

Yao Qingnian watched as more and more people looked over. He caught a glimpse of him holding his hand. His eyes rolled, and he sat down on the ground, shouting, "Morality! He molested me!"

Isn't it just a scam? She can do it, and Yao Qingnian also learned from him and started shouting loudly.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Who molested you?" The old man was shocked and blushed, and hurriedly explained to everyone.

"Woo woo... Grandpa... You are already old. My grandfather is older than you. You can't molest me. Look, everyone is coming. You changed it to I bumped into you. You want me to pay silver. I am a girl. Where can I get a hundred taels of silver?" Yao Qingnian took out a handkerchief and waved it, and began to sob softly: "Everyone, I didn't bump into him. He wanted to molest me first. Fortunately, you came in time and didn't let him succeed. Because of my reputation, I didn't expose him just now. I didn't expect that he would get worse and ask me for a hundred taels of silver just by lying on the ground. Then, will he molest other girls in the future? Just like today, slandering in public and holding the girl and not letting go, and easily getting the silver, then this capital city will be in chaos. Please help me report to the authorities! I am upright and not afraid of seeing the officials. It's just right. Let the government investigate this old man. He is so familiar with it. I'm afraid it's not the first time he has done such a thing."

"I didn't expect you to be so frivolous at your age. Bah! Shameless!"

"I didn't! What nonsense are you talking about, girl? I'm already old, and my grandchildren are older than you, how could I possibly molest you!" The old man couldn't hold his face when someone said this to him, and glared at Yao Qingnian angrily.

"Oh...you are childless, so where do your grandchildren come from?" Yao Qingnian looked at him with amusement.

Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, he quickly covered his mouth: "I said it wrong, no."

"How can you say this is wrong? I think you did it on purpose! What do you mean by lonely and helpless? You are clearly lying to everyone!" Yao Qingnian said bluntly.

"Turns out he's a liar!" Everyone suddenly realized.

"She's a weak girl, how could she hurt you? I think she's just pretending!"

"Look, he's still holding on to the girl's hand! You old pervert!"

"Yes! Arrest him and report him to the police!"
