Chapter 204 I’m Blackmailing You, What Can You Do?
Seeing how well Old Lady Chen managed these people, Old Man Chen was filled with admiration.
He is really good at coming up with such a good way to extort money.
In order to better cooperate with Mrs. Chen to extort some money, he followed suit and looked around.
Seeing an ox cart running over his firewood pile, he immediately became excited and started yelling at the top of his voice, pointing at the ox cart.
"Hey, hey, hey, how are you driving the car? Can't you see my firewood pile?
Look, the firewood is all crushed, how can we make a fire?"
The driver was so angry when he saw Old Man Chen being unreasonable that he almost lost his temper. "Hey, old man, this firewood isn't even crushed into small pieces, so why can't we burn it? You're just looking for trouble."
"Hey~~ What are you talking about, young man? You're right to run over my firewood, right? If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving with your ox cart."
"Yes, that's right. Don't bully honest people. Let me tell you, we old couple are not afraid of anything. We are just afraid of people speaking softly. If you keep bullying people, this matter will not end today." After saying this, Old Lady Chen gave Old Man Chen an admiring look.
Old Man Chen was also very excited after being recognized. He sat directly on the ox cart and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You have to give me an explanation for crushing my firewood pile, otherwise this matter will not end."
At this time, many villagers who came to watch the fun had gathered around and started talking about the long line of ox carts.
"I thought Qing was just talking, but I didn't expect she would actually build a house."
"Yes, at first I thought it was a mud house, but it turned out to be a blue brick and tile house."
"You're wrong. They're not just building a brick and tile house, they're also building a large house with three entrances and three exits."
"What do you mean by three ins and three outs? Does that mean you go in three times and come out three times? What kind of house is this with all this going on and on?"
"You don't even know this, you're such an old-fashioned person. The three ins and three outs means that when you enter through the main gate, there's a courtyard, and inside that is another second gate. After you enter through the second gate, there's another courtyard, and inside that is another gate, and then there's another courtyard. Do you understand now?"
"There are so many doors and courtyards. This house is too big."
"That's right. Rich families and officials all live in this kind of house."
The villagers gasped when they heard this, and their expressions of watching the fun instantly turned into envy.
"It's only been a few days, and Qing girl has earned so much money and built such a big yard. It's really amazing."
"What's so strange about this? They can make over a hundred pounds of brown sugar a day. One pound makes a hundred coins a day, which is ten taels of silver. How can they not make a fortune?"
"Yes, the old man and his wife Chen are really unlucky. They bet on the wrong horse and placed all their hopes on their third son. Now that Qing girl is so successful, they must be regretting it to death."
"What's the use of regretting? Old Lady Chen relied on the honesty of the Zhanshan family to split up the family and sever ties. She did all sorts of evil things. Even if Qing girl is rich now, they can't get even a little bit of it."
"You're right. It seems to me that these old couple are a bit desperate now. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so shameless as to get in someone else's car."
"They are just looking for trouble on purpose, trying to extort money from Qing girl!"
"He becomes less humane as he gets older. He's so immoral."
"That's right. If Chen Ruolan had been more capable, she wouldn't have been ruined by Fan Tong."
"Old Lady Chen must be unable to swallow this humiliation and is deliberately trying to cause trouble for Qing."
"It doesn't affect her family at all, this is bullshit!"
"Who said it wasn't? This is clearly a way to make things difficult for Qing. If it were me, I would go up to her and give her a big fight without saying anything. Let's see if she dares to stab me again."
"Don't brag about yourself. Old Mrs. Chen is such a person! If you dare to poke her a finger, she will blackmail you to death."
"Alright, alright, stop talking, Qing girl is here, let's go over and see how to solve this problem."
******
Chen Qingqing had just returned to the sugar factory and hadn't even sat down when she heard that the old man and his wife were causing trouble for no reason, and she felt very angry.
If you live next door to someone like this, you're bound to have troubles in the future.
But she was not afraid. She just wanted the old man and his wife Chen to see with their own eyes that she lived a better life day by day and reached a height that they could not look up to.
There is a saying that goes, you ignored me at first, but now I am out of your reach.
The best way to take revenge on evil people is to live better than them and leave them far behind.
Chen Qingqing hurried over following the messenger, and saw the old man Chen and his wife sitting in the ox cart in a very arrogant manner, and she felt extremely contemptuous.
She suppressed her anger and walked closer, saying coldly,
"What are you two doing? Get off the ox cart immediately. Otherwise, if you get bumped into anything, I won't be responsible."
Old Mrs. Chen curled her lips in disdain, putting on a scoundrel look. "Who do you think you are? If you want me to come down, I'll come down. I'm telling you, if you really run into me, I'll let you support me for the rest of my life."
"Yes, you guys try to move. Anyway, we two old people are fine. If someone really breaks my old arms and legs, I will go sit on the kang in your house." Old man Chen also echoed shamelessly.
After these words were spoken, the onlookers could no longer bear to watch.
An elderly man shouted, "Chen Zhonghou, can you please be more virtuous and do something more helpful? This place is eight hundred feet away from your home. How can it bother you? Why are you stopping people from working? You are just stirring up trouble. No matter where you go, you are not in the right."
"That's right, they're building a house, and you two are so jealous and eager to join in the fun. Aren't you just causing trouble for them?"
Old Mrs. Chen glared at him, gnashing her teeth and cursing, "Stop your nonsense! What do you mean by 'it doesn't bother my family?' These brick piles are blocking my feng shui. If they don't give me an explanation, they can forget about building the house."
Luneng's face was dark, and he couldn't help but speak up, "Auntie, if you find it an eyesore to unload the bricks here, we can move them to the side. Please don't make things difficult for our boss."
"Stop flattering me. What were you doing earlier? You should have asked me when you were unloading the truck. It's too late now. This matter won't be over unless you give me five taels of silver to buy some medicine."
"You, you, you are blackmailing me!"
"I'm blackmailing you, what can you do about it!" Old Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and glared.
Luneng shook his head and sighed, "Miss Chen, what do you think we should do about this?"
"Master Lu, don't worry, I'll handle this matter."
"You silly girl, if you want to build a house, give me the money quickly, otherwise you can forget about working." Old Mrs. Chen looked very proud.
Chen Qingqing's anger was rising. She waved her hand at the people behind her and said, "This piece of land is the official road of the village. Everyone, continue working. If anything goes wrong, I will take care of it."
