Chapter 60 Your eyes are cramping
A gust of wind blew past her ears, and Wang Cailian rushed over with a fire poker in her hand.
She cursed and swung the stick to hit Zhou Cuihua.
Zhao Zhilan watched from afar and smiled approvingly.
This eldest daughter-in-law is quite powerful and smart. When she beat Zhou Cuihua violently, she only hit the thick parts of her body, which only hurt but did not hurt her.
Moreover, if you are rude to someone like Zhou Cuihua, she will throw a tantrum and act like a rogue if you confront her. She will not learn her lesson unless she suffers a real loss and feels the pain.
Wang Cailian hopes that after this beating, Zhou Cuihua, whose skin is thicker than a pig's, will learn her lesson. She will be thankful if she can stay quiet for a month.
Xiaodouzi looked at the tofu that had been broken into pieces on the ground and felt his heart bleeding. There were so many pieces, and they were all worth a lot of silver!
"Don't worry," Zhao Zhilan walked over and patted Xiaodouzi on the shoulder. "This isn't your fault. Luckily, we still have five barrels left over from today. I'll count them later and tell you how much is left. You can take them back first."
"Thank you, old auntie!" Xiaodouzi was delighted when he heard Zhao Zhilan's solution and thought it was feasible.
"However, don't worry, old aunt, we at Ke Laixiang will buy these five broken buckets of tofu as usual!" he added.
Their boss Zhu has always treated the Yun family differently. He would definitely not refuse a compensation of several hundred dollars.
However, Baoya reached out and tugged at his clothes, tilted her head back, and said in a clear voice, "Brother Douzi, that won't do."
"Why not?" Xiaodouzi was confused. "Wouldn't it be better to compensate you and prevent your family from suffering any losses?"
Baoya glanced at Zhou Cuihua, who was howling in pain from being beaten by Wang Cailian, and said, "It was clearly Aunt Zhou over there who startled the horses and caused the carriage to overturn. She must be the one to pay for it!"
Xiaodouzi looked back following her gaze and suddenly realized: "Yes, you are right, she should be asked to compensate."
Ke Laixiang has always been generous, so they are willing to compensate their partners for their losses.
Influenced by Boss Zhu, Xiaodouzi had never considered that the culprit should be the one to pay for the tofu.
Not far away, Zhou Cuihua screamed in pain. Her ears were quite sensitive.
When she heard Baoya's words, she held her head and shouted, "What are you talking about, you stupid girl! The only reason I crashed into the carriage was because that bitch Wang Cailian was chasing me with a stick!"
"How dare you say that, you shameless bastard!" Wang Cailian immediately swung a stick at her buttocks. "If you hadn't stolen my tofu, why would I chase you?"
"Ouch! Oh my god!" Zhou Cuihua screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Yun family beat and killed someone!"
Wang Cailian rolled her eyes and hit him harder: "If you scream again, I'll break your legs, believe it or not! I'll never let you come near my house again!"
"Ouch! I won't dare anymore!"
"Stop it! My waist is hurting!"
Zhou Cuihua was wiping her nose and crying. Her butt was in terrible pain. That damn Wang Cailian was hitting her butt and back, those places that were extremely painful but couldn't be broken!
There was such a commotion at the back door of the Yun family that many villagers gathered around and stood by, pointing and talking.
However, Zhou Cuihua was usually cunning and domineering, but now she was finally dealt with by Wang Cailian. Everyone watched the fun with their hands folded and enjoyed it very much.
"Cai Lian, take a rest first. Bring the person over here so I can talk to her." Zhao Zhilan waved her hand.
"Okay, Mom!" Wang Cailian put away the fire poker and pulled Zhou Cuihua over by the collar.
"Ouch! Aunt Zhao, you Yun family are really inhumane!" Zhou Cuihua covered her buttocks and spoke in a dishonest manner.
Zhao Zhilan rolled her eyes at her: "You still have the nerve to say such sarcastic things? I don't think you've had enough of this beating!"
Zhou Cuihua immediately became obedient after being glared at by her.
Zhao Zhilan said, "I've calculated the cost of this tofu. It's a total of 150 pieces, plus the three you stole, making a total of 153. We sold it to Ke Laixiang at five coins a piece, so that's 765 coins. Pay!"
"This is so old? You want me to pay for it?" Zhou Cuihua was dumbfounded.
"Or I'll compensate you." Wang Cailian poked the fire poker in her hand, scaring Zhou Cuihua so much that she shivered.
"Then...don't you usually sell tofu for three cents a piece in the village?"
"This is what we sold to Kelaixiang. They charged five cents a piece," Zhao Zhilan said. "Don't come crying poor to me. If you don't have money, find a way. You should pay for it. So many people in our village are watching. If you're trying to cheat, I'll ask Liu Lizheng to come and judge the matter. If all else fails, we can go to the county government and sue you. Don't accuse me of bullying you because I have so many relatives."
Zhou Cuihua was the type who bullied the weak and feared the strong. She had just been punished by Wang Cailian, and after Zhao Zhilan said this, she didn't dare to say a word.
"Okay... okay, I'll get the money for you right now!"
She turned and left. Zhao Zhilan didn't want to pay attention to her anymore. After helping Xiaodouzi count the tofu and load the car, she had to go pack Yun Chengfu's luggage because he would be returning to town in the afternoon.
When Zhou Cuihua came back with the money, she saw that all the Yun family members had gone into the house, leaving only Xiaodouzi feeding the horses at the door, so she limped over.
"Hey, hey," Zhou Cuihua said, her face covered in bruises. "Hey, young man, the Yun family makes tofu for you, and it costs that much for one yuan. Otherwise, you can buy from us. We're cheaper, three cents... no, two cents a piece."
Xiaodouzi was fed up with the screaming woman, especially since she had just overturned his carriage.
He continued feeding the horses, not even looking up, saying, "The Yun family's tofu is so good that our boss raised the price. Can your tofu be as good as the Yun family's? Auntie, stop dreaming and go home to chop some vegetables and feed the chickens!"
"you……!"
Zhou Cuihua was choked by what he said, and immediately snorted in disdain: "Who cares! Isn't your neighbor that...that Yinkeju? Just wait, I'll sell all the tofu I make to Yinkeju! I'll piss you off to death!"
After feeding the horses, Xiaodouzi frowned when he saw her angrily entering the Yun family with copper coins.
This woman is really strange. Even if she is inviting guests to stay, do you think they will accept just any tofu seller?
At the Yun family's side, Zhao Zhilan accepted the money sent by Zhou Cuihua and quickly sent her away.
Wang Cailian was busy making lunch for the family, Li Rongyue was helping her, and He Chunxiu was clearing the table and setting the stage for the dishes.
Ever since she realized that her cooking was delicious, Wang Cailian began to love cooking, and then she would hear everyone praising her cooking skills while eating.
Baoya, Yunhua, Yunyue and other children were sitting in the yard, watching the river clams around a large copper basin.
Several days have passed, and the wounds left by the previous seed planting have healed.
Baoya tilted her head and looked at the clams in the basin whose shells were opening and closing. She suddenly thought of her brother Xiaojing. She had promised to teach him how to plant seeds in clams.
The eldest brother will return to town in the afternoon, so she can ask the second brother to go to Huya Mountain to find Brother Xiaojing.
Thinking of this, she looked up at Yun Chenglu who was squatting opposite her, her eyes drifted to the river clams, and she blinked at Yun Chenglu again.
Yun Chenglu didn't understand at first, but when Baoya blinked and looked towards Huya Mountain, he suddenly understood and blinked at Baoya too.
Yunyue, who was standing next to them, noticed their little trick and asked curiously, "Eh? Second brother, Baoya, what's wrong with you two? Are you having an eye cramp?"
