"How can you be so shameless?" Lin Huihui blurted out, speaking the first words of the evening.
Everyone didn't expect that Lin Huihui, who had been silent all this time, would have such a big emotional ups and downs. She even said so bluntly what they were thinking. They said uncomfortably, "Dingyuan, what are you talking about? What do you mean by we are thick-skinned?"
"You saw us making money and you wanted to get a piece of the pie. How dare you say you don't have thick skin?" Lin Huihui mocked. The grievances she had suffered today burst out at this moment.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dissatisfied and said:
"Dingyuan, what you said is wrong. How can you say that about us? What kind of people do you think we are? We just wanted to help you because we saw that you were busy all the time."
"Yes, you said you were robbed, and we were thinking about you three weak women, so we gave you a hand. You actually said that to us. You really took our kindness for granted!"
"Saying things like that really hurts our hearts! I thought we were from the same clan and should help each other. In the past, you and the Xie family had so many conflicts, and we always went to help. Now it seems that we helped an ungrateful person!"
"The Xie family hates us because we helped them. Now the Xie family is looking for people from the village to do the work, but they won't hire us. They think we want their money! Oh, I'm so angry!"
…
The Lu clan members and others kept talking to each other, making the Lu family members' faces become paler and paler.
Uncle Lu looked serious, looked at Father Lu, and asked in a deep voice: "Youqing, do you think so too?"
How could Father Lu dare to say that he thought so? Unless he wanted to leave the Lu clan, he hurriedly said: "Second Uncle, I definitely don't think so!"
He turned around and scolded Lin Huihui: "Old Third, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by thick skin? As a junior, how can you be so rude to your elders? The uncles and brothers want to come and help us because they see that we are in trouble! Apologize quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for the family rules!"
"..." Lin Huihui was very dissatisfied, but in front of so many members of the Lu family, she was still sensible. She lowered her head and said in a voice that was so suppressed that she was about to cry: "Uncles, brothers and sisters-in-law, I...it was a slip of the tongue. I didn't mean that. Please don't bother with us!"
The people of the Lu clan were full of disdain. How dare a woman who married from outside dare to scold them?
They were very dissatisfied with Lin Huihui, but due to their business, they didn't want to make things too awkward. They just said a few polite words and let the matter of Lin Huihui's ridicule pass.
However, they have not yet come to the point of doing business with the Lu family:
"... Youqing, what are you thinking? Just tell me, do you need us to help your business?"
"Why not?" Before Mr. and Mrs. Lu could speak, someone else took over the conversation: "They asked the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family to come over to help. It must be because they are too busy! We are Brother Youqing's relatives, so we should help even more!"
"That's right, Brother Youqing, you did the wrong thing! When you wanted to do business, you should have called our Lu clan first. Why did you call the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family? Although she is also a daughter of our Lu family, she is already married!
Her father-in-law is the village chief! The village chief now obviously values the Xie family. She has fallen out with the village chief, but they are family after all. Who knows, one day they might help the Xie family deal with us!"
"Yes, it is more comfortable for us Lu people to use! We will never betray you!"
"Especially now that the Xie family is growing stronger, we Lu family should unite to deal with the Xie family!"
"Yes, many of us went to the Xie family for interviews these past two days, but they didn't hire people from our Lu family! This is obviously an attempt to isolate our Lu family! We have to unite!"
"That's right! I heard that your braised food business is pretty good, and it's not worse than the Xie family's. They have a lot of people and a workshop, and there are a lot of people in our Lu family as well. The rich ones can contribute money and the strong ones can contribute labor. If we work together to build up the business, we will definitely not be bad either!"
…
As they were talking, they noticed that the Lu family hadn't said anything. They looked up at them strangely, "Youqing, why aren't you two talking?"
Mother Lu: “…” How should she speak?
Why don't they let them come over and do business with them? Judging from the way they were acting just now, they'll definitely poke you in the back!
But if we ask them to come and do business together...we can’t do business anymore!
Today's incident has caused such a big fuss that even if they go to the county town to sell braised food, not only is there no guarantee that anyone will buy their braised food, but they might even have to face the same scene of being chased and beaten as they did today!
Mother Lu didn’t know how to solve the problem, and she was as anxious as an ant on hot pan!
The business of the Lu family has always been managed by Lu's mother and Lin Huihui. Lu's father did not participate much. He was waiting for Lu's mother to speak. He gave her several looks. Seeing that she remained silent, everyone was about to get angry again. He did not care about anything else and opened his mouth to respond on behalf of Lu's mother: "My uncles and brothers, you are right! The people of the Xie family are banding together to isolate us, so we must unite..."
"No!" Mother Lu interrupted Father Lu in a panic and looked at Lin Huihui, wanting her to find a reason.
Lin Huihui turned her face away and said nothing, as if she had no intention of getting involved in the Lu family's affairs.
Mother Lu secretly hated Lin Huihui for being a little bitch. It was she who proposed the idea of doing business, but now she was asked to clean up the mess!
She stammered for a long time but still couldn't explain it clearly.
The faces of the Lu clan members gradually turned ugly:
"Youqing family, what do you mean? We are here to help you! Do you really think we want to share your money?"
"If you really think so, you are a ruthless person! Fine, we won't do business with you, but from now on, your family will not have any contact with us!"
"From now on, your family's affairs have nothing to do with us. If you have conflicts with the Xie family again, we will not help you anymore!"
Isn't this just a disguised way of expelling them from the Lu clan?
Father Lu was shocked and no longer cared about Mother Lu's attitude, and said, "We absolutely don't mean that! You are right, we can't be controlled by the Xie family, and we will do business together and make money in the future..."
"Lu Youqing! Stop talking, we can't do business anymore!" Mother Lu collapsed when she realized she couldn't hide it any longer.
As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned: "What does this mean?"
"I, we weren't robbed, we were selling braised food and something went wrong..."
