Chapter 379: The trouble comes to the house again
The group of people were blushing at what she said. They didn't know what those people had done until now. If they were Shen Xiangwan, they might not do better than her, and they might even be more angry than her. However, for the sake of their children, they had to continue lobbying. If the school really closed, with their income, it would be impossible for them to send their children to continue studying. Then they would have to live the same life as them, facing the earth and back to the sky, with no possibility of turning over a new leaf.
"Mrs. Wei, I know you're heartbroken. Could you please give us another chance? I promise to teach those people a lesson and never let that happen again."
It was unknown how long it had been before Village Chief Yang looked up and met her eyes again. He had already decided that after returning, he would visit every village and use his identity to represent the Wei family to give those restless people a warning. If the Wei family was also considered to be hypocritical and rich but unkind, then there would be no good people among the rich families in Datong County. It was extremely stupid that they could not even tell the difference.
"Yes, yes, Madam Wei, I will also go door to door to teach them a lesson. Please, for the sake of the children, give us another chance."
"So do we."
One of the village chiefs immediately agreed, and the other village chiefs nodded quickly upon seeing this. Everyone looked at her eagerly. Now that they knew the crux of the problem, they would find the right remedy and would never allow those ungrateful things to make the Wei family feel heartbroken and unworthy.
Led by Yang Lichang, the village heads were trying their best to persuade Shen Xiangwan, hoping that she could give them another chance, reopen the school, and let the children continue to study. However, Shen Xiangwan was reluctant to express her opinion and seemed completely unmoved. Everyone's expectant hearts sank straight down. When no one noticed, Yang Lichang quietly pulled on Zhao Dashan's clothes. He had heard that he had a good relationship with the Wei family.
Looking at Yang Lichang and then at Shen Xiangwan, Zhao Dashan sighed helplessly in his heart: "Wanwan, I know that Chen's incident really chilled you. Fourth Uncle's family is ready to divorce her and will never..."
"Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei...please come out...Mrs. Wei..."
Before Zhao Dashan could finish his words, Chen's sharp roar suddenly pierced everyone's eardrums. Everyone couldn't help but frown, including Yun Mengyi and Yue Ruyan, who had been silent the whole time. Shen Xiangwan looked at Zhao Dashan with a half-smile and snapped her fingers, saying, "Bring her in. I want to see why she's causing trouble at home again."
"yes."
"I'll go with you."
Yuan Yue bowed and accepted the order. Zhao Dashan stood up with a whoosh and left with her with a gloomy face. The other village heads looked at each other, all secretly annoyed. They were still here trying to convince Mrs. Wei with a shameless face, but the culprit came to make trouble again. How could such a troublemaker appear in Yong'an Village?
The most angry person was none other than Village Head Yang. As the village head of several nearby villages, he had always been conscientious and hardworking, and he sincerely hoped that the villagers could live a good life. Now, under the leadership of the Wei family, they grew high-yield crops, and every household could raise big fat pigs. Some people could even work in the Wei family's workshop and receive a monthly wage of one or two taels of silver. The Zhao family even set up their own workshop and made a lot of money. In addition, everyone's children could study in school almost for free. If they could produce one or two scholars, or even the top scorer in the imperial examination in the future, their villages would really have hope. Everything was obviously developing in a good direction, so how could it suddenly become like this?
Today, the Wei family closed the school because of disappointment, and tomorrow they may close other workshops. If even the papermaking and printing workshops are closed, then won’t those scholars curse them to death?
Therefore, this matter can be big or small. If they fail to handle it well, they will probably become sinners and be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
But who could tell him why that woman had come again? What were the people in Zhao Si's family doing for a living? They couldn't even keep an eye on a woman.
"What's going on?"
Chen's roars were so sharp and shrill, as if they were killing someone. Wei Chengyi, who was handling government affairs in the study, also heard it. Yuan Xiu came down with him. Seeing that there were not only Chen Xiangwan, Yun Mengyi and Yue Ruyan in the hall, but both of them were calm, with their intelligence, they probably guessed their identities.
"Did I bother you? Just consider it a break, it will be taken care of soon."
Raising his head and smiling slightly, Shen Xiangwan picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, pushing them in front of them.
"Um."
Wei Chengyi nodded vaguely, Yuan Xiu smiled gently, and both of them agreed with Shen Xiangwan's statement.
"Mrs. Wei...Mrs. Wei...I was wrong. Please let me go. I really know I was wrong..."
Meanwhile, Yuan Yue and Zhao Dashan returned, along with everyone from the Zhao family. The moment Chen saw Shen Xiangwan, she dragged her son into the main hall and knelt before her, begging for her forgiveness with tears and snot. But her words were so uncomfortable to hear. What did she mean by "begging her to let him go"? When had Shen Xiangwan been so stubborn about her? If someone uninformed heard this, they might think she was a bully, oppressing innocent people.
Her crying was no different from slandering Shen Xiangwan’s reputation!
Not to mention Wei Chengyi and his companions, even the quick-witted headman Yang couldn't help but frown again. This woman, this woman didn't come to beg for mercy, she was clearly here to cause trouble.
"Goudan, Goudan, kneel down and beg Madam Wei with me."
Seeing that Shen Xiangwan didn't respond, Chen, who was crying and begging, pulled her son to kneel down: "Madam Wei, all the mistakes are my fault. Please let me go for the sake of the child. He is only eight years old and can't be without a mother, Madam Wei..."
She spoke with true feelings, but the brows of everyone present were getting tighter and tighter. Even the village chiefs who reacted a little slower heard the ambiguity in her words. Everyone was so angry that their chests heaved rapidly, and they wanted to rush over to cover her mouth.
"Goudan, come on, come with me and beg Madam Wei..."
“That’s enough!”
Unaware that her son had been terrified by her actions, Chen saw that she couldn't persuade Shen Xiangwan, so she tried to pull her son along. Zhao Dashan couldn't stand it any longer, and leaving Zhao Si's family behind, he rushed forward in two steps: "It's your in-laws who want to divorce you. What does this have to do with Wanwan? From beginning to end, has she ever said a word about asking Fourth Uncle and his family to divorce you? What do you mean by begging her to let you go? When has she ever made things difficult for you?"
Zhao Dashan was so angry that he was fuming. Regardless of whether she did it on purpose or not, her behavior was a naked slander. He didn't dare to guess how angry Wanwan would be. How could such a confused woman appear in their village?
