The next morning, the osmanthus wine and rose wine were prepared early, but Laifu was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Erming clenched his fist and waved it fiercely at the air: "I really want to beat him to death!"

"Exactly, what kind of jerk is this? They're asking for more and more money, but they're coming later and later. How can they have the nerve to lick their big, round face and ask for more money?"

Madam Fu is a straightforward person, and since everyone present was one of her own, she spoke without much restraint.

There's only so little work to do, and they're asking for so much money, which is bad enough, but now they're arriving later and later.

They really have no self-awareness whatsoever!

What the hell is this?!

"Ahem, I heard someone saw Li Xiaoxi go to the village chief's house..." Da Sheng's family member said in a low voice, looking very gossipy.

Everyone immediately understood.

That explains why Laifu woke up late.

"Let's not say that. If it gets out or someone hears it, it will become our problem."

Tian Guifen, with a dark expression, offered a word of advice.

Both Madam Fu and Dasheng's wife knew about Tian Guifen's predicament, so they said nothing more.

However, Madam Fu still felt that they should think of a way to stop the village chief's family from being so arrogant.

After a long while, Laifu finally arrived, albeit late.

Madam Fu, being quick-witted and outspoken, couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Laifu, where have you been? Why are you so late?"

"Oh, I have something to do."

Lai Fu's tone was alright, but his expression conveyed a sense of "it's none of your business, mind your own business."

Fu Niangzi held her breath as she loaded the wine into the car, saying, "Oh, then next time remember to separate things so as not to delay the wine delivery."

"Hey, Madam Fu, aren't you being a bit too nosy? What more do you want after I said something happened? Do you want me to kill you as an apology? Even if I were to apologize, I don't need to apologize to a lowly laborer like you, do I?"

Lai Fu's flippant and disdainful tone instantly made Madam Fu's face turn red with anger.

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Tian Guifen rushed over to mediate, but she sided with Madam Fu.

"Laifu, if you're ever busy and don't have time to deliver the wine, just let me know, and we can deliver it ourselves."

Also, calling Madam Fu a "stinking laborer" isn't very nice. We're all from the same village; it's not appropriate to talk like that, is it?

Besides...aren't you helping out at my house too? You're no different from Madam Fu. Insulting her is just insulting yourself as a worthless laborer, isn't it?

Tian Guifen spoke in a gentle tone, but the words she uttered were extremely sharp.

They are in the right in this matter, and it's at her house. If they ask Madam Fu to speak up for them and she doesn't say a word in their defense, how can they dare to be friends with Tian Guifen in the future?

“How can I be the same as her? Auntie, you’re going too far with that,” Laifu said unhappily.

Tian Guifen smiled, her eyes showing seriousness: "What, tell me, why are you different from us?"

"I……"

"Hey bro, why are you being so inconsiderate? I'll beat you up!"

Suddenly, Shen Liuliu chased after Wu Tiao and ran out, muttering something under her breath.

Madam Fu laughed happily and called to Shen Liuliu, "Liuliu, don't be angry with your brother. He's already quite sensible."

He even gave Laifu a defiant glance, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Lai Fu's face darkened.

Shen Yishan quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, Laifu, hurry up and go, or it will delay important matters."

Lai Fu snorted coldly, not wanting to argue with these ignorant village women, and drove away in his carriage.

Looking at the departing carriage, Madam Fu spat fiercely and cursed, "What the hell?"

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. Next time, just bear with it so as not to make things difficult for Guifen," Dasheng's wife comforted Fu Niangzi.

Ultimately, we still have to give the village chief face.

Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable if he secretly made things difficult for me.

“The village chief these days is getting more and more out of control…” Fu Niangzi sighed.

Actually, what happened today wasn't just because of Laifu.

At the same time, it was also because Madam Fu had been dissatisfied with the village chief's family for a long time.

Their two families owned adjacent land, but the village chief took the opportunity to seize their land.

It doesn't take up much space, just a small area.

But later, perhaps because they were easy to talk to, when I went to pull weeds in the field, I would just throw them directly into their field!

This made things convenient for the village chief's family, but it made things increasingly troublesome for his family!

They had tried to talk to the village chief, but he always found a way to make things difficult for them, leaving them speechless and helpless.

“Yesterday I went to town to sell mushrooms and ran into the village chief’s son,” Chu Yaya, who had just finished feeding the chickens, suddenly said.

Everyone looked over in surprise.

Shen Liuliu ran over and asked, "Huh? Did he do something bad?"

"Haha, even our Liu Liu knows he's not a good person." Madam Fu laughed so hard she was bent over.

Baby Liu Liu's words are just exactly what she wants to hear!

Even Old Mrs. Shen in the west wing secretly pressed her ear against the window.

"Ya Ya, continue."

"I went to a restaurant to sell mushrooms and ran into him drinking and bragging with several people who didn't seem like good people. In the end, he even asked the manager to keep track of the bill."

The shopkeeper was initially unwilling, but then Laifu said he could pay it back tomorrow, which is today, and only then did the shopkeeper agree.

Chu Yaya recounted what she had seen and heard.

"Hey, Sister Ya Ya, why aren't you wearing gloves again?" Shen Liu Liu suddenly noticed something and immediately ran to Tian Gui Fen, pointing at Chu Ya Ya's hands, which were red from the cold, and said, "Mom, answer her quickly!"

The little one's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Everyone was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"Liu Liu loves watching others answer in turn." Madam Fu covered her mouth and chuckled.

Tian Guifen pinched her daughter's red little nose, went into the house and took out a pair of head coverings, which she then put on Chu Yaya.

Tian Guifen didn't scold her, but said with concern, "It's getting cold, young lady, you should take care to keep warm, otherwise you'll suffer later."

Women are most afraid of catching a cold.

Therefore, girls should learn to be careful from a young age.

As Chu Yaya watched the old woman patiently explaining those profound principles to her and even personally putting warm gloves on her, Chu Yaya felt a warm glow in her heart.

She felt that it was worth it to secretly follow Laifu yesterday.

Because the Shen family deserves it.

She would repay even the smallest kindness tenfold.

“Aunt Wanli, you need to be careful. I overheard Laifu talking to his friend, and it seems he’s embezzled money from your house many times.”

You didn't have any yesterday, but you have money today?

Everyone present knew what was being said.

Tian Guifen patted the little girl on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Auntie knows, Yaya is so thoughtful. Come inside and have some hot water."

This is the day we've been waiting for!

It's finally here.
