Chapter 254 I Beat Her Up
"No...no, how...much?" The old lady's eyes were almost as big as eggs.
"One... sixteen thousand?"
"Yeah!" Wen Tang nodded his chin proudly.
The old lady grabbed her arms with both hands and fell on top of her, "Tang, help me up, I feel dizzy."
Wen Tang helped the person sit down and asked with concern, "Mom, are you okay?"
"I'll get you some water!"
Zhong Meixian grabbed her hand and said, "No, no, Mom will take her time."
Besides, there was no reason to ask the God of Wealth to pour tea for her. She was not going to die of thirst in the next second.
After a while, Zhong Meixian couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many?"
"We ordered a lot, and the total cost was 100,000 yuan."
"Oh my goodness, we have to work hard, otherwise it will take us forever to finish the job."
The old lady stood up from the stool as if she had been injected with chicken blood, "Tang, are you starving?"
"Please sit down for a while. Mom will fry two eggs for you and boil two more eggs in sugar water."
Wen Tang was surprised and said, "Mom, you didn't pass it!"
Zhong Meixian "..."
"...This, this kid, look at what you said, can mom be that stingy person?"
"Hehe," Wen Tang didn't say Zhong Meixian was stingy, but after she finished laughing, she said, "Mom, just boil two eggs for me to use as a cushion. If you make too many, I won't be able to finish them."
Zhong Meixian nodded immediately, "Okay, sit and wait."
The old lady worked efficiently and Wen Tang was able to eat the hot sugar-water eggs in less than ten minutes.
After being hungry for the whole morning, Wen Tang couldn't help but sigh after eating.
After that, he went to find Xu Zhongguo and discussed gathering all team members to go to the rice field the next morning to register family members to go to work.
The next morning, Xu Zhongguo gathered all the team members at the rice field, holding a crooked microphone and telling everyone, "I am here today to tell you that the Gu family soap factory has officially started recruiting. Every household can send one female family member. Whoever is going to come to register with me, and you can go to work for the Gu family tomorrow."
"Remember, every household, if they haven't split up, can only go to one person."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Hongmei exploded. She immediately pulled Lin Jingyao beside her and asked, "What should we do?"
"We haven't divided yet!"
Lin Jingyao also looked at his mother, and Qiu Yuefang glared at them both, "Why don't you just say you're breaking up?"
As a result, Xu Zhongguo said next, "Every household should bring their household registration book here to register."
Huang Hongmei said angrily, "But Jingyao is still in the same household registration book with you guys."
Qiu Yuefang was also a little anxious now. She didn't expect this to happen, so she could only pretend to be calm and asked, "Why are you panicking?"
"You'll say you've split up later and open the account tomorrow, what's wrong?"
"You get flustered over a small matter. You're a loser."
She was quite capable. When Xu Zhongguo asked her who was going to her house, she said, "Everyone is going!"
Xu Zhongguo reached out and said, "Take my household registration book and register."
Qiu Yuefang smiled and said, "I'll go open the account tomorrow."
Wen Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "That means the family hasn't split up yet."
"We've separated, but our household registrations haven't been separated," Qiu Yuefang no longer dared to give Wen Tang a bad look.
Wen Tang shook his head, "That won't work. If we split up, we have to separate the household registrations. That's what other families do."
"Otherwise, if everyone is like you, you just open your mouth and talk, but other families are struggling to divide the family property. Isn't that unfair to other families?"
Many people registered but did not leave. There were also people who were in line behind Qiu Yuefang's family. After hearing this, they all agreed with Wen Tang's words, "That's right. If you don't split up the family, you will all go. Then what does it matter if we split up the family?"
"Let's not separate, that's so funny!"
"that is!"
Xu Zhongguo asked again, "What do you say? Who will go?"
Huang Hongmei was afraid of being at a disadvantage, so she immediately said, "I, I, I, I'll go."
Normally, the second and third daughters-in-law of the Lin family rarely talk, but this time...
They both immediately shouted, "Why?"
"Exactly. Why would you go?"
"You are still the head of this family?"
"That's just funny!"
Huang Hongmei pinched her waist with both hands, "Why are you yelling at me? I wanted to split the family earlier, but it was the old woman who disagreed. Didn't you guys keep silent?"
"Why won't you let me go now?"
"That won't work either," the second son's wife also put her hands on her waist.
Huang Hongmei turned around and glared at Qiu Yuefang, wishing she could tear her apart. "Speak up, what should we do now?"
She really hated Qiu Yuefang.
How did Qiu Yuefang know what to do?
Little did she know that after being smart all her life, she was delayed by her own little calculations when she was old.
Lin Guangqian hurriedly stepped forward and asked Xu Zhongguo, "Is there no room for negotiation on this matter?"
Xu Zhongguo sighed, "Are you anxious now?"
"The whole brigade was divided before the New Year, and every household had their affairs sorted out clearly, but your family didn't make any moves at all."
"Tell me what you were thinking at that time."
Lin Guangqian's face flushed red and he couldn't utter a word.
The people waiting behind were anxious, so they said, "You two can go discuss it over there, there are so many of us waiting!"
"That's right. After finishing in the morning, we still have to go to the fields to earn work points in the afternoon. Aren't you delaying work by doing this?"
After hearing this, Lin Guangqian felt even more upset.
Other families will have a good life in the future, with some earning wages and others working in the fields to earn work points, but this family of theirs...
Lin Guangqian clenched his fist and trembled for a while, then suddenly turned around and slapped Qiu Yuefang in the face with his backhand.
Qiu Yuefang was caught off guard and slapped in the face, falling directly to the ground.
Lin Jingyao hurried to help Qiu Yuefang and asked Lin Guangqian, "Dad, what are you doing?"
"What? I'm going to beat her up for being such a troublemaker."
Huang Hongmei's happy face turned grim when she saw this scene, "Yes, you should beat him, beat him hard."
Wen Tang couldn't help but sneer, "You used to be so indifferent, but now you act like the head of the family. It's funny."
Wen Tang was not speaking for Qiu Yuefang, but he thought Lin Guangqian's behavior was a little funny.
Lin Guangqian originally had some "righteous and eloquent" things to say, but this...
He shut up.
He went home with his hands behind his back.
Qiu Yuefang was beaten, but this time she did not fight with Lin Guangqian, nor did she show off in front of Huang Hongmei.
Instead, he covered his face and said to Xu Zhongguo, "We will separate when we go home, we will separate when we go home."
Xu Zhongguo actually had no say in this matter, and he subconsciously glanced at Wen Tang.
Wen Tang gently waved his hands behind the table.
Xu Zhongguo said, "It's too late for you to split now."
"Everyone will be working tomorrow, it's too late for you to share now!"
"Hey, tell me, what did you do so far?"
"How can we be too late? We can just start the work a day or two later."
"That's right," Huang Hongmei also clasped her hands together and begged Xu Zhongguo while echoing Qiu Yuefang's words.
At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were on the same front.
