Chapter 1241 Pulling big guns out
Song Zhi knew Yu Dong. Though he did not know her that closely, he understood that she was not the kind of woman who would waste her time like this, if she was willing to stand on the street and quibble with the boss of this restaurant, then she must be thinking of something.
"Who the f*ck do you think you are? How dare you threaten me??" Mei Shu glared at Geng Gengxin and Old Madam Qiao. She really could understand what she did to deserve this, usually, this kind of fuss was cleared up in seconds. But it was getting louder and louder today.
Mei Shu was also afraid now. If this fuss got any louder than it already was, then all the secrets that she was hiding would slowly come to light. She could not allow that to happen!
She turned to glare at Yu Dong and the rest before saying, "I am telling you that this woman stole from me and received her karma. Why are you getting mad at me for something that she did? And the rest of the servers were the same! I did nothing to them."
At this point, Yu Dong pursed her lips into a faint smile. She looked at Mei Shu with a confident and slightly mocking expression before saying in a clear voice, "Oh, are you saying that even after being robbed again, you did not complain to the Yamen? Not even once?
What's even surprising is that even after running away the servers never returned to their homes, even once… as if they never existed in the first place."
"They ran away and their families had to compensate you each time. I don't know why but this sounds sketchy to me. Because no matter how I see it, you are the one who benefited in the end, Madam Mei."
"And you don't have to go back to your lies once again. You just admitted in front of everyone that your sister-in-law was the one who poured hot oil on Zi Zan. Even if you retract your said statement, it's not going to change anything as everyone heard it."
"I will not poke my nose into the matter of the other servers as I have nothing to do with them. But since your sister-in-law caused my sister-in-law to almost lose her life, Zi Zan deserves to be compensated.
According to the law, if a servant who is not bound by the slave contract is tormented or physically abused by his or her employer then he or she has the right to demand medical treatment as well as ten times the salary if their life is the one that is put in danger by their employer."
"Since that is the case then Zan Zan's medical treatment costs more than a hundred taels coupled with her salary, you need to pay her at least three hundred taels."
Once Yu Dong finished speaking, the crowd around her gasped.
On the other hand, the servers who worked under Mei Shu felt their eyes light up with hope.
"This is good! This way this black-hearted woman and her sister-in-law would have to suffer! This is good, who told them to act like this?"
"Ten times the salary and the medical treatment! Haha, this is great, now a certain someone will get a taste of what it feels like to be pushed into a corner."
"But this woman made sense. The servers and workers running away benefited Mei Shu in the end, but I think there is something wrong. This matter needs to be investigated till the end."
"I think the same too!"
Mei Shu was shocked. She did not think that there was such a law since she was uneducated and so were the severs, neither of them knew that there was such a law. When Mei Shu heard Yu Dong's words, she was stunned. She did not think that this farmer was actually educated!
She looked at Yu Dong with a wary look in her eyes as she sized up Yu Dong and questioned, "Who are you?" She did not know who this woman was but she only knew one thing Yu Dong looked a bit smarter than she expected her to be.
Mei Shu was really wise, if not for the fact that she was skilled enough to read people, she wouldn't have been able to work in the town for so long nor would she be able to coax the son of Gu family, Gu Man into marrying her. However, for some reason she could not read Yu Dong nor could she understand what her identity was, however, a farmer couldn't be this educated!
She even knew the law.
However, when she thought of her elder sister-in-law's identity she calmed down and then said, "No matter who you are if you continue like this then I am afraid that I will have to give you a taste of your own medicine!"
Yu Dong sneered and then said, "Is that so? Then give me a taste of my medicine. I want to taste it."
Mei Shu thought that Yu Dong was only pretending to be calm thus, she turned to look at Gu Mu and then said, "Go and bring your elder sister. Tell her that if she does not come here, I and your brother will have no future."
She knew that her sister-in-law was someone who would not help her unless she was pushed into a corner.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Gu Mu also knew that Mei Shu was only lying and faking it thus she nodded and rushed to Main Street to bring her elder sister with her.
On the other hand, Old Madam Qiao was worried that Yu Dong would be bullied thus she turned to her servant and said, "Go and bring Sha Sha! Tell her that if she doesn't come here then she doesn't have to go back home!"
Since Mei Shu was pulling out big guns then she might as well help this poor woman!
