Those nearby were startled and quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "No, no, this is unacceptable!"
Those who had been watching the commotion and hadn't left were all startled.
Liu Hong was stunned by the stone. Song Ning was careful not to hit him on the head, but instead hit his leg, which then fell and hit his foot.
Liu Hong hugged his legs and screamed wildly. Everything happened so fast that he didn't even have time to dodge.
Jiang Yongshou, who was standing nearby, quickly called for someone to help the person up and take them back. Song Ning didn't say a word the whole time.
Jiang Yongshou knew that Er Ya was very angry, so he stepped forward to comfort her: "Er Ya, don't be angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself. Don't worry, we will work hard."
Song Ning glanced into the courtyard and noticed that the woman who had looked at her earlier seemed a little guilty.
"Brother Yongshou, send someone to the county government to deliver a message saying that we will not be coming again."
Jiang Yongshou was taken aback: "Why...why?"
Why? Because I'm unhappy.
There are plenty of ways to make money, and she didn't want her father to suffer the same fate.
"Since they don't like us, we can't just stay here. Let's go back and think of something else later."
Since Jiangning County needs it, other places also need it, so it's not that Jiangning County is the only option.
They were indeed in the wrong, but one thing at a time, and we shouldn't discriminate against them, right?
Liu Hong did something unethical. It's enough to criticize him alone. Why insult everyone so harshly?
They're always resorting to regional or identity discrimination, as if everyone's ancestors weren't once rich.
I heard that His Majesty's grandfather even escaped a disaster. Who does he look down on?
She couldn't swallow this insult.
The kang (heated brick bed) inside was rebuilt, and as soon as the people came out, Song Ning and his men were about to leave.
The people living nearby were puzzled when they saw them packing up to leave.
Song Ning ignored him and led his men back.
I'd rather not steam buns than lose face.
When Song Ning arrived at the place she had agreed upon with Zhou Ling'an, she turned around to look at the person behind her.
"Was I... impulsive just now?" She didn't even ask what they thought before leading them away.
The group looked at each other and then laughed.
"Er Ya, we know you're upset because of us. Don't worry, we're all going with you willingly."
Their reputation here is ruined. Even if they've been working hard all along, after what happened today, these people will never trust them again.
It's better to walk your own path than to be suspected by others.
"It's alright, Er Ya, we'll think of other ways to make money later," Jiang Yongshou said with a smile.
Song Ning felt a little embarrassed; she had been too hasty, but there was no turning back now.
As they headed towards Tianxiang County, Zhou Cheng walked beside Song Ning and whispered, "I heard from Yongshou that you just smashed up Liu Hong?"
Song Ning nodded and said in a low voice, "I'm so angry. We finally have a business that makes money, and it's so close by, but then this disaster happens and it affects everyone."
Zhou Cheng sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. But now that you've injured Liu Hong, the Liu family will probably cause trouble again."
Song Ning smiled and said, "Let them come if they dare. This whole mess was his doing, and I'm already being lenient by not going after him."
Besides, this involves everyone's interests, so why would she need to step in?
"Because of him, we lost a chance to make money, and now we're just waiting to be talked about behind our backs."
The group returned to Tianxiang Village. The men from various families who were supposed to be working in Jiangning County had already returned. Liu Hong had returned before them, and people had already heard the news.
As soon as Song Ning and the others returned, they were surrounded by people: "Er Ya, what's going on? Why are you all back?"
Since no one else dared to speak up, Song Ning directly revealed the truth.
Liu Hong himself has no shame, so how can he expect others to save face for him?
News of Liu Hong's embezzlement of the master's money spread quickly. Previously, people had only heard about the Liu family's dirty deeds, and few had actually had any dealings with them.
But this matter concerns every single one of their families; how could they not hate it?
Some aunties and old women went to the Liu family's house and raised their voices to curse.
"Some people are just born pests. They have no shame and still want to harm others. Why don't they just die?"
"The whole family is no good. They're always cheating and swindling, and they even want to take Er Ya's pound of cotton for free. Bah! They're like a hen trying to climb on a roof. What kind of birds do they think they are!"
......
These past two days, everyone's been working like they're at a job, with batches of people coming in the morning and afternoon. If it weren't for the cold weather at night, they'd all get a good scolding to vent their frustration.
However, this doesn't seem to have any impact on the Liu family.
These words are directed at people who are easily embarrassed, but Liu Hong and his wife don't care about such things.
The next day, Liu Yuelan was cooking when the door was suddenly pushed open.
The two children rushed into the kitchen, without saying a word, and after scanning the area with shifty eyes, they started grabbing food from the kitchen like bandits.
They rummage through drawers and cupboards, stuffing whatever is edible into their mouths and destroying whatever is inedible, advocating for indiscriminate treatment.
Liu Yuelan was the only one in the kitchen, and she couldn't stop the two children at all. The pancakes and meat on the board were all ruined.
Liu Yuelan tried to stop her, but was pushed to the ground.
Hearing the commotion, Song Ning and Song Dahai rushed back and saw that the kitchen had been completely destroyed.
Song Dahai, being a man, quickly subdued the two unruly children, one in each hand, and dragged them out, then hurriedly closed the door.
Not long after he closed the door, the sound of banging on it came from outside, and stones were thrown at the door, which completely enraged Song Ning.
