Chapter 81: Driving away the Qi family
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, some of them laughed so exaggeratedly that their mouths almost reached their ears - yes, it was largely intentional!
Some people even took the opportunity to make jokes.
"Yeah, this kind of farm work is really strenuous! If you've never done it before, even two mu (approximately 100 acres) would be enough to make you collapse!"
"Of course not! Don't let it happen and delay other people's work."
"Hey, your family is rich, how could you care so much about such a thing? I was not talented a while ago. Haha!"
Qi's suppressed anger turned into a raging fire, bursting upwards. She turned her head, glared fiercely at the crowd, and cursed, "Bah! Who cares?! Talk too much, or your tongue will get rotten!"
Turning back to look at Qu Yutao, Qi said in an even more stern voice, "I told you to plant it and it will grow naturally. You don't have to worry about anything else. What's the matter? Or are you saying that our family isn't from Yan Village? We're not worthy? Why do others say so little, but I have to say so much when it's my turn? You're targeting me on purpose! You're so young, but you know how to judge people!"
Qu Yutao has been running around in Zaihu Village with Zhao Liya and Hu Ling for so long that she is no longer the quiet girl who was unwilling to say much about anything.
She wasn't angry either. She looked up at Qi and said, "Of course I have my reasons for asking so much. After all, everyone in the village knows that Auntie has never worked in the fields or done these kinds of work. How can I feel at ease if I don't ask clearly? What do you mean by 'I don't have to worry about it'? This is something my aunt and uncle entrusted to me. Naturally, I have to take care of it, ask questions, and do it well. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease?"
The villagers laughed again, and many of them agreed with Qu Yutao, which made Qi even more angry.
"Okay, okay, it seems you are really targeting me on purpose," Qi sneered, "I'm going to plant it anyway, what's the matter!"
Qu Yutao: "Then Auntie, you must ensure that you can plant it well. Otherwise, if you make mistakes, you will have to pay for it."
"Is it the same in other people's homes?"
"Of course. But Aunt Luo's is a little special. You haven't grown it before, so I'll keep a closer eye on it."
Qi was furious and pointed at her and cursed: "Little bitch——"
"Shut up!" Hu Ling slapped Qi's hand, half-hiding Qu Yutao behind him and said coldly, "Who are you scolding? Apologize, or this deal will be over. Leave!"
"Well, you're deliberately targeting me! Your Zhao family is so arrogant in the village. Who gave you the courage? Let's sue them and see what happens to you!"
"Apologize!"
Qi naturally refused to apologize. Her face turned red and white, and she insisted on standing there with her hands on her hips, cursing and yelling at the top of her lungs.
She still had some dignity and didn't roll on the ground and throw a tantrum.
Zhao Liya had been listening in the yard, and when she saw that things were getting out of hand, she came out with murderous intent.
"What are you arguing about?" Zhao Liya sneered. "This is something our family brought up. It's to give everyone an income subsidy during the off-season. We have the final say. If you don't accept it, just leave. No one will stop you. What's wrong with asking you a few more questions? Are you so precious? I can't ask you questions? Besides, which question was wrong? You started the commotion first! Do you want to sue? Go to the city and sue. If you have the guts to talk but not the guts to do it, then don't say it!"
"I'm telling you clearly right now. Just because you scolded my cousin, you're not welcome in our house. It's none of your business. Get out of here if you have any shame. Otherwise, I'll come with a big broom and I won't care where you end up!"
Hu Ling felt very relieved, snorted, and was eager to try and pick up the big broom.
Qi recalled the scene in the field where Zhao Liya grabbed her and pressed her head. She suddenly felt a disgusting and unpleasant earthy smell in her mouth and became frightened for no reason.
She didn't dare to tell others, but Zhao Liya would really take action.
Although it was embarrassing to be scolded by her in public, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if she beat me in public?
Qi's eyes were filled with resentment. "Bah, who cares about these trivial things? I won't tolerate this!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
Zhao Liya snorted, glanced at her and then looked away: "Everyone continue to line up, everything will be fine!"
Qu Yutao smiled gratefully: "Fortunately, you are here, cousin."
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "My cousin is a gentleman, she's not afraid, but I'm going to take action, how can she not be afraid?"
Everyone laughed after hearing this, including Qu Yutao.
The storm ended there.
As for what happened to Qi after he returned and who he picked a fight with, that had nothing to do with the Zhao family.
Widow Qu also claimed one acre of garlic sprouts and one acre of lettuce. It didn't matter even if Qu Yutao didn't have time to help. She and Aunt Li Shiyi had agreed that they would take care of the land together and split the money.
Aunt Li Shiyi was very happy and agreed without hesitation.
The Gu family didn't take the job. They didn't care about the small amount of money.
Let them work for Zhao Liya? Don't even think about it!
But when I saw the whole village happily running towards the Zhao family, I felt a little upset.
The Zhao family is really going too far! Organizing the entire village should be done by the Gu family, but the Zhao family didn't even say a word. It's really outrageous.
"Brother, if this continues, our Gu family will have no good life in the village in the future!"
They all knew very well that the villagers were dissatisfied with their family. With the Zhao family's interference, how long could they continue to be the local tyrants?
Sooner or later, someone will start a riot, and the Zhao family will probably intervene.
Mrs. Gu said angrily, "I don't think this is difficult. I'll go to each family and tell them not to take this job. Let's see what they do!"
Gu Lao Er was annoyed: "Shut up!"
If you can't speak, don't speak.
Wouldn't this be equivalent to cutting off the entire village's financial resources? Wouldn't this force the entire village to unite and oppose them? With the Zhao family's help, and the few families that were at odds with them, especially Lin Mo, they might be able to overthrow their family.
The reason why their family can still act arrogantly in the village is because they defeat their opponents one by one. No family in the village can defeat them, and they can never unite to deal with their own family.
But what will they do if they are not allowed to make money?
Planting two mu of land in two months would cost more than one tael of silver. Who could afford that?
Boss Gu sneered: "Don't worry about them, let them be proud." They won't be proud for long.
Mrs. Gu couldn't help but say, "That's strange. Where on earth did they know someone like that? Can they sell all the vegetables they grow?"
Mrs. Gu immediately said, "It would be better if they can't sell it! Then we'll lose everything! If they don't pay for it themselves, the villagers will tear them apart alive."
Mrs. Gu imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing.
I wish it would come true immediately.
Gu Lao Da had an idea and called the second and third brothers to talk: "Keep an eye on them for a while and see if they are associating with anyone."
