Then You'll Pay Each of My Girls 5,000 Taels in Compensation

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Then let's go straight to the government office! Since we can't settle this privately, you can just go to the government office and sue me."

Upon hearing this, the group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

If this were to go to the authorities, it would cause a huge uproar.

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "You've always said my girl isn't clean, now I'm starting to suspect it's you who aren't clean."

Xiao Yuhan looked at her and said, "Zhou Wanwan, don't go too far. These doctors can easily tell if there's anything wrong with your girls. Call them over here."

Zhou Wanwan spoke calmly:

"Two thousand taels, not a single tael less."

These girls have problems; I can compensate you for your losses.

If my girls are innocent, how do you plan to compensate me and my girls for our losses?

You've already ruined their reputations.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xiao Yuhan's mother looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "How do you plan to make us compensate you?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

"My requirements aren't high, just... if my girl is okay."

"Then each of you girls must pay five thousand taels in compensation, and I will have to pay you one hundred thousand taels."

Xiao Yuhan sneered, "You really have a lot of demands."

A young nobleman standing nearby sneered, "They're really obsessed with money. I'll pay the 2,000 taels of silver. Quickly, call them all over here."

Zhou Wanwan soon received a silver note worth 2,000 taels.

The girls were also brought out, and the young masters from wealthy families all glared at them coldly. "If they are found to be ill, they will all be beaten to death."

The girls were terrified, their faces turning pale. Zhou Wanwan looked at the young men from noble families and said:

"Such arrogance! Don't forget, if they're alright, you'll each have to give me 5,000 taels, plus 100,000 taels!"

To be fair, let's draw up a contract.

The young master from a prominent family snorted and said, "Stop arguing. It's clearly written above: if any of these girls cause trouble, they'll be killed without mercy. Is that alright?"

"Sure, no problem."

Soon, more than a dozen doctors filed in. After examining the girls for a while, they all said, "These girls are fine, healthy, and don't have any strange illnesses."

The young masters from wealthy families were sweating profusely with anxiety. "Impossible, impossible! Where did all these illnesses come from?"

Xiao Yuhan's face turned pale with anxiety. Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"Come on, give me the money, five thousand taels each, you won't refuse, will you?"

If you don't give me the money, fine, I'll go to the authorities and report you for abusing an innocent woman. You should think about it carefully!

Thirty women, each worth five thousand taels, that's one hundred and fifty thousand taels.

The young masters from those aristocratic families looked at each other, and finally reluctantly took out 150,000 taels of silver.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and looked at the girls, saying, "Now, do you want to stay in the mountain stronghold with the money, or marry these men?"

The girls all shook their heads; they had no desire to marry these men!

With money, they can completely start a new life.

Xiao Yuhan, however, looked at them and said, "Actually, it wouldn't be bad if you were willing to come into our household as concubines."

A girl spat and said:

Who would want to become a concubine in your household?

You all have venereal diseases, who knows if you'll infect us? We certainly don't want to."

"I just want to stay An'an in the mountain village."

None of the girls wanted to stay. Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "Alright! You can leave now. The Cui Residence probably won't invite you to stay for a meal."

The Cui Residence is very poor right now; where would they get the money to treat them to a meal?

These people slunk away.

But the Zhou Family members were shameless and refused to leave.

Zhou Fuyu looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"You've caused us so much trouble, shouldn't you compensate us for our losses?"

Look at what we've become, we've lost several thousand taels of silver, and you have no explanation?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him calmly and said, "What explanation do you want from me?"

Didn't they just give you 150,000 taels of silver?

Give me 150,000 taels of silver, or I'll spread this story around and make a big fuss about it.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:

"Go! Make sure it's a huge show, so that everyone in Dongshan Prefecture knows about it."

Don't worry, as long as you dare to speak up, I'll help you get started.

"At that time, the entire Dongshan Prefecture will remember you."

Zhou Wanwan's statement is not a threat, but a fact.

No matter whose family gets this disease, they will just swallow their anger and suffer in silence.

Nobody wants others to know they have this disease. As long as Zhou Fuyu dares to spread it around, she dares to expose it.

Unexpectedly, before Zhou Fuyu could say anything, the news had already started circulating outside.

The names of all these young masters appeared in a booklet.

What they did was publicized and became widely known.

Xiao Yuhan had only walked halfway when she saw many people pointing and whispering about them, "So it's them! They're in big trouble now! They probably won't even be able to continue their family line."

"That's venereal disease, isn't that deadly? What respectable family would want to marry one of them?"

"I heard several families have already broken off engagements! These people are all doomed."

Xiao Yuhan's face was deathly pale, and the young masters from the noble families beside her were even paler.

They never imagined that these things would sprout wings and fly away.

They returned to the Cui Family, where Madam Cui was utterly exasperated. "What's wrong with you all today? You keep looking for Zhou Wanwan. What did Zhou Wanwan do to you?"

Zhou Wanwan yawned and looked at them, saying, "What exactly do you want? I was just about to get a good night's sleep, and then you guys came back again."

Xiao Yuhan looked at her and said, "Zhou Wanwan, did you tell everyone about those things outside?"

Zhou Wanwan blinked and said, "What's wrong? I was sleeping at home, how would I know what happened outside?"

Xiao Yuhan, "Everyone outside knows what happened yesterday. Who else could it be but you?"

Zhou Wanwan said helplessly:

Do you think I'm that gossipy? Especially considering there were so many people there that day.

Even if you were at the Cui family's Cui Family today, with so many people serving Cui Family, how could you not know?

And those doctors, why would I ruin the reputation of my own village?

These people were furious, but Zhou Wanwan really didn't do it.

Soon, these scions of prominent families investigated and found that Zhou Wanwan hadn't done it after all. Several doctors had been bribed and revealed everything.

These scions of prominent families were either breaking off engagements or divorcing, making for quite a spectacle for a time.

The atmosphere at the Zhou Family was tense, and Zhou Wanwan really wanted to experience it firsthand, so late at night, Old Scholar Tree took her back to the Zhou Family.

The Zhou Family could only hear Old Madam Zhou cursing and swearing.

"You old beast, how dare you do such a thing? You're disgusting. Now look what's happened, your son and grandson have all gotten this disease."

"You're satisfied now? Our family has become a complete laughingstock, you know that?"
