Chapter 203: Jealousy
Old Lady Chen gritted her teeth and said, "You're right. I've seen through that damn girl a long time ago. Don't look at her pretending to be a good girl on the surface. In fact, she is a conscienceless and inhumane beast. She even had the heart to plot against Ruolan. Do you think she can still be considered a human being?"
Old Mrs. Chen felt very upset when she thought of the two hundred and fifty taels of silver. If the plan succeeded, it would be their Chen family who would be preparing to build a house.
With money in hand, she can wear gold and silver and live a good life without worries about food and clothing. She can eat whatever she wants, drink soy milk and eat fried dough sticks in the morning, and have scrambled eggs with tomatoes for lunch.
No more having to hide in bed and eat big pancakes at night.
But after all the calculations, it all ended up being in vain.
When she recalled this incident, she wanted to slap herself in the face. She should have listened to the old man and gone in to give Chen Qingqing a stick. Even if she beat her to death, she would not end up losing both her life and her money.
Old man Chen looked at the busy scene outside the yard, and he was so jealous that he wanted to drive away the ox carts carrying blue bricks to avoid being an eyesore.
He looked around and saw several people in the cowshed, pulling lines and digging holes. He was immediately furious. "Look, old woman, what are those people measuring?"
Old Mrs. Chen also noticed these people. When she saw them approaching the fence next to her yard and trying to dig a hole, she hurried forward and shouted, "What are you doing? I'm warning you, don't damage my fence. If you break a fence, I'll make you pay for it."
Hearing the voices, several people looked at each other. Luneng was the first to react. Remembering what Chen Qingqing had told him, he hurriedly explained with a smile, "Hello, Auntie, we are measuring the land and will not damage your fence."
"Who is your aunt? Stop trying to be so close. Anyway, let me tell you this: if you damage my fence, you can't even think about working."
"Okay, okay, don't worry. Our boss has already said that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we will build a wall outside this fence before we build the house. We will never damage your things."
"Okay, this is what you said. Don't say that I, an old woman, am unreasonable." Old Mrs. Chen had already made up her mind that she would not let Chen Qingqing build the house smoothly. She had to make some money out of it.
Old Man Chen couldn't help but be curious and asked, "I see you've been measuring for quite some time. How big is their house going to be?"
"A big house with three courtyards." Luneng agreed and turned to go to work.
Hearing this, Old Man Chen almost dropped his eyes to the ground in shock, and kept swallowing his saliva. "Oh my god, this damn girl is going to rebel. She even built a big house with three courtyards. There is not enough space for them to live in with just a few people in their family!"
Old Mrs. Chen was also shocked by the sudden news. It took her a long time to recover. She couldn't help but feel jealous. "This shameless girl really thinks she is a rich woman. She even built a three-story courtyard. She wants to piss me off to death!"
"Okay, old woman, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get angry. Out of sight, out of mind. Stop looking here and let's go back to the house."
"No, I have to watch here. I can't swallow this anger in my heart."
"What's there to look at? The more I look at it, the more upset I get. Let's go back to the house!" Old man Chen shook his head and sighed.
Old Lady Chen's eyes gleamed, and she snorted disdainfully, "Yes, you're right. I'll make them upset. If they don't give me some benefits, they won't be able to build a house."
Old man Chen was startled and frowned as he asked, "Old woman, what do you mean by that?"
"You, you are such a blockhead that you don't even take advantage of the opportunity that's right in front of you."
"What's the bargain here? Explain yourself more clearly."
"That's enough, your IQ is just so-so." Old Mrs. Chen waved her hand, "Let's go and fill their gaps and get some loose change."
Old Man Chen was confused. "Where are you going, old lady?"
"Just follow me." After saying this, Old Lady Chen crossed her arms and walked to the gate, shouting at the people unloading the truck, "Hey, hey, hey, stop it, don't unload the truck yet."
Everyone did not stop and continued to do the work in their hands.
Seeing this, Old Lady Chen immediately became furious. She strode over and sat on the ox cart. "You have chicken feathers stuck in your ears. I told you to stop first. Can't you hear what I'm saying?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. One of them asked, "Auntie, we didn't provoke you. What are you doing?"
Seeing this scene, Old Man Chen felt ashamed and cursed in his heart.
What the hell is wrong with that old woman? People are working, why is she messing up? She is just looking for trouble.
If someone really hit her on the forehead with a brick, the beating would be in vain!
Thinking of what Mrs. Chen had just said about wanting to spend some change, my heart suddenly tightened.
Doesn't she really want to get beaten?
Old man Chen came over and said, "Old woman, what are you doing? Get up quickly and don't delay other people's work."
"You stay away!" Old Lady Chen gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes at him. Then she said angrily, "What do you mean you didn't recruit me? I'm so upset right now. Hurry and find your supervisor."
These people knew they had encountered troublemakers, so they hurriedly called Luneng over.
Seeing Old Lady Chen sitting in the car with a tantrum, Lu Neng frowned immediately. "Auntie, I'm the one in charge here. Why are you stopping them from unloading the car?"
"Why, why?" Old Mrs. Chen glared at him. "Let me ask you, who told you to unload the bricks here? Did you get my permission to unload the bricks?"
Luneng glanced around, knowing that she was just looking for trouble, and shook his head and smiled, "Auntie, this place doesn't seem to bother your family at all!"
"You're talking nonsense! Open your dog eyes and take a good look! This thing is almost blocking my front door, and you're still saying it's no problem."
"Auntie, this place is across a village road and is not directly opposite your front door. It doesn't affect your travel at all, so how could it be a hindrance to you?"
"Nonsense! Although it doesn't affect my travel, it blocks my view of my house. I can't see the scenery in the distance, and I feel anxious. Now my heart is pounding. What do you think I should do?" Old Mrs. Chen stiffened her neck and acted like a rogue.
Luneng was neither anxious nor annoyed, and said in a pleasant manner, "Auntie, how about this, since you said this place blocks your view, then we can move a little further to the side, that should be fine!"
"No, no matter where you unload it, it will be in my sight. I'm very panicked now. If you don't give me an explanation, I won't get up even if you kill me."
Luneng has been traveling around the country for many years, and this kind of thing of taking advantage of seniority has become commonplace.
He knew that a powerful dragon could not defeat a local snake, and in such a situation, he must not confront them head-on. If he was not careful, this kind of person would start crying and throwing a tantrum, and if he got angry, he would slap you in the face several times.
Luneng hurriedly ordered the people around him to find Chen Qingqing...
