Chapter 92 Born Poor Fortune Telling
Song Yongnian said seriously, "Brother Shen, Sang Yong has gone too far. Not only does he sell inferior goods as good ones, but he also asks for an exorbitant price. I am happy to teach this villain a lesson. Helping is just a matter of convenience."
"That's right! This kind of villain deserves to be punished. We are doing good deeds and accumulating merit, not just to help you. Don't keep it in your heart. Besides, you gave us firecrackers for free, and everyone saved twenty cents.
In the middle of winter, you can find work outside for about the same amount of money a day, and that doesn't include food." Su Changxi laughed.
Others echoed.
The teahouse was filled with the aroma of tea, and the hot buns were wrapped in a strong meaty flavor. Everyone was so satisfied with the food that they wished it could happen more often.
As for the threats that Mr. Ma made to them, no one took them seriously at all.
After all, Dongmen Village is also a big village. No matter how rich and powerful Ma is, he can't do it all by himself. Besides, the merchants in the town are open for business. Who would go against money?
As for the villagers setting up stalls at the market, it is even simpler. At worst, the whole village can go out together. I don’t believe that Ma Rencai can really stop them!
In Ma's house.
Ma Rencai looked sick when he was sent back. Sang kept crying beside him, "Master, how did you become like this? Those people are really too much!"
Ma Rencai was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his breathing was rapid. "Go and find the young lady back for me. Tell her that I'm sick and ask her to come back to take care of me."
The housekeeper hurried out, but was stopped by Ma Xingteng who had just walked in. "Go and do your thing. There's no need to disturb the young lady."
The housekeeper was in a dilemma.
Sang threw her handkerchief in anger, "What are you talking about? Your father is sick, so what's wrong with her coming back to serve him as a daughter?"
Ma Xingteng glanced at Sang coldly, then looked at Ma Rencai with an indifferent expression, "Since Dad is sick, call a doctor. If the doctor doesn't work, don't we still have the father and son from the Sang family? Your illness was caused by them. Why should my sister clean up the mess? Do you only have one daughter left?"
"You!" Ma Rencai was so angry that he sat up from the bed, "Unfilial son! Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Ma Xingteng raised a hint of ridicule, "Look, aren't you full of energy when you scold people? Why do you need to take care of her when she is sick? It is said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. My sister is a member of the Liu family now. Even if someone needs to take care of her when she is sick, it should be her parents-in-law, not you, her biological father!
Besides, your wife didn't die, so it's not my sister's turn to be filial to you! Since Dad is fine, I'll take my leave first."
With that, Ma Xingteng limped away with the help of his followers.
The horse man was so angry that he felt heartbroken. He kept wailing and patting the bed, "Why is my life so miserable? They are all here to collect debts!"
Sang bit her lips tightly with a cold face, cursing Ma Xingteng and his sister madly in her heart, but pretending to be pitiful on her face, "Master, Xingteng and Yujie must have misunderstood me and the Sang family, how about I go to their house in person to apologize to them? Otherwise, they will keep targeting the Sang family, which will make the master feel uncomfortable and in a dilemma.
In fact, I am helping the Sang family so much so that our daughter can live a better life. After all, the Sang family suffered a disaster last time and became penniless. If our daughter had not brought a dowry with her, I am afraid that the whole family would have starved to death! Why can't Yujie and the others understand our good intentions?"
When talking about his youngest daughter's marriage, Ma Rencai immediately pointed the finger at Sang, "I opposed this marriage at the time, but you insisted on marrying my daughter to him. I think your eldest brother's family is a hopeless case! He has set up the stall but still lost both his wife and his army. I think he is destined to be poor!"
At that time, because Ma Xingteng was seriously injured, he was too anxious to take care of many things. When he turned around, Sang had already arranged a marriage for his youngest daughter, and his youngest daughter was determined to marry her cousin. He was very troubled, and since he really didn't value his daughter, he let Sang do whatever she wanted.
As for the rumors outside, he only heard about them later, but there was no evidence. He couldn't just let the matter go because of his disabled eldest son and ruin his healthy younger son.
If it weren't for that incident, his eldest daughter and eldest son would not have had a grudge against him. Now he can only pin his hopes on his youngest son, and for this reason he is particularly tolerant of Sang.
When Sang told him that Sang Yong wanted to do the fireworks business, he helped to pull the strings and even spread the word in Moshi Town that Sang Yong's family would be the only one in power. As a result, Sang Yong not only did not make any money, but also made a fool of himself in public and was humiliated by the reckless Liu Tiechui.
He couldn't do anything to Liu Tiechui, nor could he really take it out on Ma Yujie, so he could only vent his anger on the Sang family.
Sang's face turned pale and blue, and she couldn't help but speak up for her elder brother, "Master, my elder brother did it for the Sang family. Besides, the Sang family is a little poor, but look at how much less trouble Yuqing has to live if she marries him!
My sister-in-law won't make things difficult for her. My brother is her uncle and has spoiled her since she was a child. Isn't this a good life?"
"Okay, okay! As long as you feel it's okay, don't bother me!" Ma Rencai drove Sang away impatiently and lay back down.
Sang wanted to say something several times but stopped herself. Seeing that Ma Rencai really had no intention of paying attention to her, she could only turn around and leave unwillingly.
Outside the door, Sang Yong stepped forward eagerly and asked, "What did my brother-in-law say?"
Sang gave him a look, and the brother and sister went to the flower hall.
As soon as she entered the room, Sang angrily swept the cups and plates on the table, "I'm so angry! I'm so angry! The old man can't even take care of Ma Yujie, let alone cause trouble for Liu Tiechui!"
"He is so useless! In my opinion, such a disrespectful son-in-law should be taught a lesson! Otherwise, the whole thing will be out of control!" Sang Yong was so angry that he cursed loudly.
Sang's brows were full of fierceness. She stared at Sang Yong and asked, "Tell me honestly how many goods are left unsold?"
This time, Sang Yong borrowed capital from her for his business. She didn't dare let Ma Rencai know, so she secretly used the money for half a year's expenses in the inner house, thinking that she would make up the difference after the spring, and no one would know about it.
Sang Yong shrank his neck guiltily, his eyes flickering, "We could have sold out all of them today, it's all because of those bastards in Dongmen Village, if it weren't for them we wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss!"
"How old?" Sang's eyes widened in anxiety. She stood up suddenly, very excited. "Brother, I told you that I secretly embezzled the money. You must return it to me. Otherwise, if Ma Rencai finds out, he will divorce me!"
"It's not that serious! You are Xingfei's biological mother. Although Ma Xingteng is lucky enough to survive, he is a cripple and can't turn the tables. This family will belong to Xingfei sooner or later. Xingfei listens to you so much, how could she watch you being divorced by Ma Rencai!" Sang Yong was very calm and didn't care.
Sang was so angry that she fell backwards, her face drooping. "Even if I'm not divorced, I won't have any money in my hands anymore. If you need money then don't come to me!"
