On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 118 Being hated? She is no longer afraid
Ji Ruhua: “…”

Ji Ruxue: “…”

Ji Zixuan: “…”

Mr. Li: "..."

They had never seen such an excessive request!
Ji Ruhua: "So you guys are taking all the benefits!"

Lan Yue spread her hands: "No, right? It's mutual."

Ji Ruxue sneered: "Miss Lan, what you said are all requests that are good for you. Do you think we should agree to them?"

"How can you say that?" Lan Yue blinked innocently, "This request is mutual. Are you afraid?"

"How could I be afraid!" Ji Ruhua was stimulated and immediately agreed to Lan Yue's conditions. "If it is really your brother who took our Zixuan's rice paper, you must compensate us according to your conditions! And you have to kowtow to us and apologize!"

"Is this an additional condition?" Lan Yue thought for a moment, "You can kowtow and apologize, but if it wasn't for my brother taking Ji Zixuan's things, in addition to the request just made, you have to give me an extra 1,000 taels of silver, how about that?"

"it is good!"

Under Mr. Li's testimony, Lan Yue and Ji Ruhua signed.

"To be fair, Mr. Li, you can ask the children in the school to come and testify." Lan Yue looked at Mr. Li who was at a loss, "Let's sit behind the screen first and listen to see whether my Nanyu took Ji Zixuan's rice paper. What do you think?"

Ji Ruhua looked at Mr. Li, "We agree."

Mr. Li wiped the sweat from his forehead. These two ancestors are really difficult to deal with.

There was no other choice, so Mr. Li had to ask his servant to come in and help call his students over.

Lan Yue, Nan Yu and the others went behind the screen first, and Ji Ruhua and Ji Ruxue followed them in.

Ji Zixuan lowered his head and followed the two of them. He was so panicked that he broke out in cold sweats.

He...is finished.

Why should my cousin agree to this?
I will have to compensate them with one thousand and two taels of silver later. I didn't expect that they would sign on just a piece of rice paper. I'm at a huge loss.

Soon, five children came into the study room one after another. When questioned by Mr. Li, the five students told him everything they had seen.

Mr. Li understood clearly in his mind and asked the five students to go back to the classroom first. Then five more students came in. Although what they said were not exactly the same as what the first five said, they both expressed explicitly or implicitly that Nanyu did not take Ji Zixuan's rice paper, and that Nanyu had his own rice paper.

Ji Zixuan did waste several sheets of Xuan paper.

Mr. Li sighed deeply in his heart, "Two family members, you can come out now."

Ji Ruhua's face turned pale and his fists were clenched tightly inside his sleeves.

Ji Ruxue's expression wasn't much better either. She didn't expect Zixuan to lie!
What she didn't expect was that she had to apologize to this woman, Lan Yue!

How could she, a young lady from the Ji family, apologize to a commoner? This was an insult to her!
Ji Zixuan lowered his head, no longer as arrogant as before.

Lan Yue touched Nan Yu's head and said, "The truth is out. Are you happy?"

Nanyu nodded, "Happy!"

He didn't take Ji Zixuan's things in the first place. What's more, he didn't like playing with Ji Zixuan, so how could he touch Ji Zixuan's things?

Lan Yue's clear eyes showed a hint of smile, "Master Ji, what do you say?"

Ji Ruhua looked at Lan Yue in front of him and felt pain on his face.

"Nothing to say." Ji Ruhua glanced at Lan Yue gloomily, then sideways at Ji Zixuan who lowered his head and said nothing. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zixuan, don't do it again next time, understand?"

Ji Zixuan nodded sullenly, "Yeah, I understand. I'm sorry, cousin."

Ji Zixuan felt very aggrieved. He had never been so embarrassed in front of outsiders before. It was all because of Nanyu!
Ji Zixuan lowered his head, clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with anger and hatred.

Sooner or later, he will definitely teach Nanyu a lesson! Lan Yue glanced at Ji Zixuan coldly. This kid is mentally unhealthy.

"Miss Lan, since the matter has been resolved, let them go back first." Ji Ruxue forced a smile, "We still have things to deal with, so we can't stay here for long."

"Oh, then you should pay us quickly. After that, you can leave." Lan Yue nodded. She didn't have time to just stand here. She looked at Ji Ruhua and said, "You have to apologize to us first, and then pay us."

Ji Ruhua: “…”

Ji Ruxue: “…”

He is indeed a poor man. He can't stop talking about money. He is really not presentable.

"We apologize!"

Ji Ruhua didn't want to see the woman in front of him for a moment.

"We misunderstood."

"A little care is not disrespectful."

Ji Ruhua squeezed out two words in frustration and took out two thousand taels of silver notes from his sleeve, "We only have this much on us. I hope Miss Lan will let this matter go."

Lan Yue took it and flicked the banknote. She didn't do anything but got two thousand taels for free. She wished there were more good things like this.

She folded the banknote and put it into the cloth bag, then looked at Ji Ruhua and Ji Ruxue formally, "This is what you should pay. By the way, are your apologies so untrue and reluctant?"

Ji Ruhua frowned, with anger in his eyes, "What else do you want?"

Lan Yue looked innocent, "I don't want anything to happen. Didn't you say you wanted to apologize? If the three of you apologize together, we won't care about this matter."

Ji Ruxue didn't expect Lan Yue to be so difficult to talk to. Her brother had just apologized, and she still wanted her to apologize? How arrogant!

Ji Ruxue just stared at Lan Yue. She didn't want to apologize. The other party was someone she hated. How could she open her mouth?
"Lan Yue! Don't go too far!"

"I went too far?" Lan Yue pointed at herself and took out the paper she had signed. "It's written in black and white. Who do you think went too far?"

"you!"

Ji Ruhua was so furious that he really wanted to kill her, but the last bit of rationality he had left told him that he couldn't do it here.

Mr. Li on the background board: “…”

"You don't have to apologize, but I'll give you two thousand taels." Lan Yue held out two fingers, "Give it to me, and I won't pursue the matter."

Ji Ruhua: “…”

He wants to say swear words, is that okay?
You've lost your sights on money!

Ji Ruxue covered her mouth and smiled, and said sarcastically: "Miss Lan, can you please stop talking about money all the time? It makes you look vulgar."

"I can't help it. I'm just vulgar." Lan Yue didn't care about the disparagement in Ji Ruxue's words at all. "You guys should pay the money quickly. I'm still waiting to go back and take a nap."

Ji Ruxue took a deep breath. She didn’t expect that Lan Yue was so shameless. Even after she said that, she still wanted money!
Ji Ruhua didn't want to argue with her. He touched his cuffs and found that he still had one thousand taels. He looked at Ji Ruxue.

He knew that his sister would have it too.

Ji Ruxue bit her lip. She really didn't want to take the money...

"Sister." Ji Ruhua called out in a low voice, "Give it to her."

Ji Ruxue made up her mind and took out a silver note and gave it to Ji Ruhua.

"for you!"

Ji Ruhua threw it directly to Lan Yue, who caught it steadily. She put away the banknote and said, "You don't know manners? If you do it again, it won't be as simple as two thousand taels."
