Chapter 729 I’m The Lanlord(5)

Su Hua puffed her chest, reprimanded Shi Sheng self-righteously, “it’s not like you didn’t know that our village was robbed by the bandits. Are you trying to put us in a tight spot by forcing us to pay rent?”

“What’s that has anything to do with me?” Shi Sheng looked at Su Hua funny, “you getting robbed, that’s your own problem. Am I supposed to bear the loss with you? Who do you think you are?”

It was like a buyer was robbed on his way home after buying an item, yet he asked the seller to be responsible for that.

Su Hua thought that she was the emissary of justice, “the Ruan Family is so wealthy, you’re not short of this rent. Can’t you have a little kindness?”

Shi Sheng spread her hands, “so it’s my fault for being wealthy? I rented the land to you, and you pay for the rent. This is the rules.”

“Since we’re unable to pay now, can’t you extend the deadline?” Su Hua was furious, “you bourgeoisie only knows how to exploit people. How could you be so cruel as a lady?”

Aren’t you being ruthless when you can’t even pay the rent!

What’s the point of being mean to me when I’m not the one that robbed you? That’s hilarious.

“I’ll say the same about you.” Shi Sheng smiled insincerely.

Su Hua probably knew Shi Sheng was referring to the incident of her being kidnapped by the bandits. She was speechless for a moment but was quickly calmed down.

She was only a weak, petite lady. She could not even save her if she wanted.

And she was fine anyway.

The bandits wanted money, and her family had plenty of them. What could they do to her anyway?

“Su Hua.” The mayor could not stand watching her blabbering and pulled her behind him, “a little girl like you shouldn’t interfere with this.”

“Mayor, she’s basically killing us,” Su Hua was unwilling, “Ruan Xiao Yang, don’t think that you’re invincible just because you’re loaded. Not everything in this world can be bought with money.”

“Really?” the corner of Shi Sheng’s mouth curved, her tone with a hint of ridicule, “but I’m wealthy, things that I can’t buy with money I’ll come up with other ways.”

Su Hua,”…”

She looked at Shi Sheng weirdly, is this the Ruan Xiao Yang I know? Why does she sound so different from before?

The mayor was sweating bullets. He had someone to hold Su Hua back and apologize to Shi Shang hurriedly.

“I’ll extend your deadline, but she has to pay on time.” Shi Sheng pointed at Su Hua.

“Why?” Su Hua broke free from those two who were holding her back.

Why’s she the only one who needs to pay on time?

“Because I don’t like you.”

Didn’t you say that I’m cruel?

How can I fail to live up to that title?

I’m showing you how cruel I can be now.

Su Hua’s face was flushed in rage, just when she wanted to argue with Shi Sheng. The mayor rushed to pull her aside as if she said anything more. The whole village might need to pay on time too.

Su Hua could only watch as Shi Sheng left there in her carriage.

……

Su Hua was still mad that Shi Sheng did not extend her rent deadline. She was determined to defeat the bourgeoisie.

Su Hua’s household consisted of 6 family members. Her parents with two younger brothers and a younger sister.

She was the eldest child in her family. Her parents valued the sons over the daughters, so she and her sister had to do all the chores.

“What’s wrong?” Su Hua heard someone from behind as she was plucking the leaves in the yard.

Su Hua turned around to see Du Gu Xia standing at the doorway. She concealed her unhappiness, “why did you get out of bed?”

Du Gu Xia had been treating his wounds for the past few days after being bitten by a venomous snake.

Du Gu Xia was at least 1.85m tall, wearing rough sackcloth, with some stubbles on his face. It was pretty good-looking in a wild way.
