Chapter 81 Playing with the Aunts
With Zhong Qiao's promise, the wives of the Zhong family finally calmed down for a while.
However, they waited for a week but Zhong Qiao didn't come to see them. Every day he was either basking in the sun and drinking tea in the yard, or leisurely planting flowers and grass.
Little did they know that Zhong Qiao had already made an appointment to meet with the villagers who had wild goods at home.
The third family was the first to lose patience. Seeing the repeated threats from the outsiders, they knew that if they really reached the end of their rope and were forced into a corner, those people would be willing to do anything.
The leader even threatened that if her family didn't pay back the money, they would dig out Zhong Long's kidneys to pay the debt.
She only has this one son, he is the apple of her eye and she can't wait any longer.
The third brother's wife couldn't sit still, but didn't want to be the first to take action, so she discussed with Zhong Lao San and decided to drag the wives of the eldest and second brothers to block the door together.
"Zhong Qiao, come out!"
The second son's family has always been stubborn. He ignored the advice and banged on the door impatiently, wishing to break down the door of the Zhong family.
"Zhong Qiao, when are you going to teach us the craft? Are you deliberately teasing us?"
There was no movement inside.
The third son's wife stood by, looking as if it had nothing to do with her. Seeing that the door was almost knocked down and Zhong Qiao still hadn't come out, she became a little restless.
"What's going on?" The third wife frowned. "Is Zhong Qiao not at home?"
The eldest daughter-in-law spat bitterly, "Impossible! I saw her making omelets on the stove early this morning. Haha, what a spendthrift! She poured oil into the pan like it was free. After eating, she drank tea and basked in the sun. She must be living a very comfortable life. She must be at home!"
"Mom, I saw it too." Zhong Hua gritted her teeth. "Zhong Qiao ate a pancake and put two eggs in it. Even the emperor can't live like her."
The second son's wife got angrier and angrier after hearing this.
Why should they get up early and stay up late to serve their parents-in-law and the one at home?
Zhong Qiao is divorced and has a child, so shouldn't she be living a worse life than them? What's going on now? Drinking tea and feasting?!
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry!
The second son's wife angrily shouted, "Zhong Qiao, stop hiding! How dare you play tricks on us? We are all your elders. Are you doing this to mean you don't want to stay in the Zhong family anymore?"
"come out!"
There was still no movement inside.
The third daughter-in-law frowned and asked, "What should we do?"
"What should we do?" The second son's wife sneered and asked back, "Isn't it just pretending to be dead? I must teach them a lesson today."
She turned around and walked a distance, then rolled up her sleeves and made a gesture as if to rush forward.
"Little vixen, jinx! Today I'm going to kick your door down and drag you and that money-loser out to parade through the streets. I'll see how you can lie again!"
“Aaaaaaaaaa——”
The second son's wife yelled angrily, and stepped forward with force. Like an arrow ready to be shot, she suddenly exerted force and shot forward, using her shoulder as the impact point, and crashed into the gate of the Zhong family.
When they were about to hit the door, Zhong Qiao, who was hiding behind the door, looked through the crack, saw the right opportunity, put on an outer coat, and opened the door lazily while yawning.
Another sideways turn.
"Hey?" When passing by Zhong Qiao, the second son's wife was stunned with a ferocious expression.
Immediately, she reacted and panicked.
"Oh no."
But it was too late.
The backward force was so great that she couldn't stop the car. She was waving her arms and legs in the air, trying to struggle, but in the end she made a sound like a pancake falling flat and fell flat on her face.
He just happened to fall at Zhong's mother's feet, with his chin resting on the surface of her shoes.
"Ouch, oh my god, my old waist!" The second son's wife was dizzy with pain and cried, "This vixen, did she do this on purpose? She didn't open the door earlier or later, but at this time!"
"Ouch, I fell to death!"
"Mom!" Zhong Hua screamed like a roar, covering her face and trotting forward. "Mom, are you okay? Get up quickly."
The second son's wife was dragged and pulled by her until she collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Xiao Hua, I feel dizzy, please stop pulling me." The second son's wife was in great pain, "If you pull me again, Mom will vomit."
Zhong Hua didn't care: "Mom, you can't fall down at the feet of Zhong Qiao and his family! Get up quickly."
She hated Zhong Qiao the most, having lost to her since childhood. Because she was unwilling to accept the defeat, she had to strive to be the best in everything and would not allow her family to be inferior to Zhong Qiao's family no matter what.
The second son's wife cried out in pain: "Xiao Hua, don't pull, don't pull, let me rest for a while."
Mrs. Zhong suddenly spoke, ruining the atmosphere.
"When I fed the chickens this morning, I wondered if I stepped in chicken poop."
"What?" The second son's wife ignored the pain and jumped up, "Zhong Shao, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Mother Zhong smiled faintly and said nothing.
She really did it on purpose.
None of her three sisters-in-law were good people. On the first day she returned home, they rushed into the house and wanted to throw Wanwan away. She couldn't swallow this, so she fought with them.
It was said to be a fight, but in fact they were beaten unilaterally. Dad and Siqi "kindly intervened" in the middle, so she was fine, but the others had bruises on their faces.
Serves you right.
Zhong Hua suppressed the anger between her brows and said, "Zhong Qiao, what are you thinking? Didn't you say you wanted us to learn a craft? We're all here, why are you hiding from us?"
This series of rhetorical questions finally made the three women who were causing trouble remember their purpose.
"That's right, Zhong Qiao, you can't go back on your word!"
The third son's wife raised her eyebrows and looked as if she would not give up until you hand over your craft.
"Teach, of course." Zhong Qiao's smile did not reach his eyes.
"I opened the door, didn't I? I just want my dad to teach you the craft."
"What about business?" Zhong Hua said impatiently.
Learning a skill is secondary. The most important thing is Zhong Qiao's family business. If they take charge of it, the family will have an additional source of income.
Zhong Qiao smiled. Her cousin really hadn't changed at all and couldn't hide her thoughts.
She rolled her eyes, revealing a bit of cunning: "Whoever of you learns the craft first will be the one to participate in the business."
When they heard this, regardless of how they had quarreled before, they patted their chests and promised: "Don't worry, Qiao Qiao, we will definitely study hard."
"Yes, yes, yes." The third wife was so anxious, "Qiao Qiao, let's get started."
She couldn't wait to get down to business. If she could learn the skills sooner, she could go out and make money, and restore peace to life at home.
Zhong Qiao sneered.
When he wanted to gain benefits from her, he would call her Qiao Qiao in a nice way, but when her defense was broken, he would insult her in all kinds of ways.
A bunch of snobs.
The scene changed, and Zhong Qiao threw the firewood in the corner at their feet, making them scream. Looking again, there was a pile of wood higher than a mountain and various small things like screws in the corner.
"Zhong Qiao, what do you mean?" Zhong Hua frowned.
"Learn a craft," Zhong Qiao said innocently. "How can I teach you the production process if you don't sand the wood first? What? College students have studied for more than ten years, and didn't their teachers teach you how to cut and sand wood?"
Zhong Hua was choked.
The teacher really didn't teach her these things, but she wasn't going to be a carpenter in the future?!
Zhong Qiao saw their dilemma and resorted to provocation: "If you don't have this sincerity, then go back and rest. If you can't even endure this little hardship, how can I trust you with the business in the future?"
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but was stopped by the third brother's wife.
"I can endure hardship." The third wife gritted her teeth and said, "I'll do it! Can't I do it?!"
In order to pay back the money and for my son, I will fight.
After hearing this, the others lowered their heads and started working, while Father Zhong was responsible for giving them instructions, asking them to screw in screws or cut wood... He guaranteed that after all this time, they would be so tired that they couldn't even lift their fingers, and they would feel like their bodies were falling apart when they slept at night.
Zhong Qiao watched everything and smiled at Zhong's father.
And now, she should go to her appointment.
