“Hey, I say, in-laws, what’s the big deal about this?! Isn’t this the child who cried his eyes out? I took the towel to help him wipe his snot off!”
Liu Fang quickly took over the conversation.
“Do you know how expensive my towel is? It’s especially used when steaming my face. Isn’t there toilet paper next to the shelf in the bathroom? Did you do it on purpose? Besides, without the owner’s permission, why did you use my things?”
Qian Yun tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, but she still roared angrily.
“How wasteful it is to use paper towels? Why don’t you just wipe it with a towel? Even if this towel is dirty, you can wash it later. You shouldn’t be so harsh because of a child.”
Liu Fang still didn’t think that this matter was that serious. She just felt that the woman in front of her was too pretentious and always wanted to pick a bone out of an egg.
“You…”
“Alright, alright. Don’t quarrel with her. If we quarrel later, the children will be in a difficult position again.”
The eldest son of the Zhou family finally could not stand it anymore and tried to persuade her. After all, his daughter-in-law was pregnant now. If there was a conflict again, it would be troublesome.
Qian Yun looked at the woman in front of her and could not bear it any longer. She had to do something to vent the anger in her heart.
“I’ve never allowed others to use my things. Since you’ve used them, then it’s considered destroyed. You can just compensate me according to the price. I can pretend that this incident didn’t happen.”
Qian Yun’s voice was not loud, but it was full of intimidation.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Liu Fang also did not expect the woman in front of her to turn out like this. Although she was also rude before, she did not know why she seemed to be half a head shorter in front of this woman. She could not argue with her at all.
“Isn’t it just a towel? So what if we compensate you! Liu Fang, hurry up and give the money to her. Otherwise, she’ll say that we’re uneducated and have no manners.”
Yun Gang also did not want to be bullied. How much money could a towel cost? He should just spend the money and get it over with. There was still some entanglement in this matter and it would not be of any benefit to him. After all, there was no loss, so he might as well agree readily.
“When I bought this towel, it cost 50 yuan, but I have used it for some time. It should be considered a second-hand towel. Since it is second-hand, then I will give you a 50% discount. You can just give me 25 yuan.”
Qian Yun said it lightly as if it was not worth much. However, in the ears of the others, it was not the case.
Liu Fang and Yun Gang were stunned.
25 yuan!
A towel actually cost 25 yuan!
This was going to make them bankrupt.
Liu Fang looked at Yun Gang beside her and asked him with her eyes, “What should we do about this?”?
The corner of Yun Gang’s eyes twitched. Although his heart ached terribly, he also knew that Qian Yun had been thoroughly angered by the current situation. If they still wanted to stay in this house, this towel would definitely have to be compensated. Otherwise, the next second, their family might very well be driven out.
“In our village, a towel is at most 3 to 5 yuan. I’ve never thought that a towel can be worth 50 yuan. Can it be cheaper?”
Liu Fang could see that her man wanted her to pay for this towel, but spending 25 yuan all at once still felt a little inappropriate.
They could already buy three to five such good towels for 25 yuan at the county town market. Now, they could only buy one, and it was a second-hand towel. Of course, it was not appropriate.
So Liu Fang started to bargain with Qian Yun like she was buying vegetables at the market.
“No!” Qian Yun’s words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
“Okay, okay!”
Liu Fang finally compromised.
Her heart ached for the 25 yuan, but she wanted to stay here more, so she handed the money to the other party.
