Chapter 273: Building a High Wall for Your Heart

Dai Qing looked at the two of them coldly, her eyes full of disgust. She was speechless. Just because they didn't give them food, they dared to say bad things about others behind their backs. They were so tasteless.

"Spreading rumors and causing trouble behind my back to damage my reputation is also against the law. If I sue you, none of you will be able to escape. You will all be detained and fined. I think both of you seem to want to experience the feeling of being detained."

After hearing Dai Qing's warning, the two men's faces turned pale and they waved their hands repeatedly.

"Don't do that, Xiaoqing. We were wrong and shouldn't have said such nonsense. Can you please forgive us this time?"

"Yes, we won't dare to do it again next time. It was just a coincidence that we met today. I couldn't help but say a few more words. I'm really sorry."

Lan Feng was so scared that the corners of her mouth trembled a little. Dai Qing had warned her last time, but she just vented her anger when she heard Du Aiqin's dissatisfaction and didn't take it seriously.

Seeing the two people blushing with anxiety, Dai Qing said coldly, "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Even children know this. Don't you know it?"

"Oh my God, we are neighbors. Even if I said something wrong or did something wrong, you can't be so cruel. We have children at home. What will happen to the children if you detain me?"

Du Aiqin looked at Dai Qing. Although she was a little nervous, she secretly cursed her in her heart.

"If you really want to do good for your child, you should keep your mouth shut and not teach your child bad things."

Dai Qing looked at her with a mocking look in her eyes. Now you are thinking about your child. What were you doing before?

"You are greedy. It is not a glorious thing to ask for things at someone's door. If you are not convinced, why don't we go to the community and talk about it?"

Looking at Du Aiqin's flushed face, Dai Qing sneered. Some people are used to taking advantage of others and are shameless even when given the chance.

The more such a person is, the more he should not get used to it.

As neighbors, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, and Aunt Wang from the second floor often opened their windows to greet her, but never asked for anything. And she would pick some grapes and figs and give them to each household when they were ripe, so that everyone could taste them together.

A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. She tries her best to be a good neighbor, but if she meets someone who is unreasonable and troublesome, she will naturally stay as far away from him as possible.

The two of them looked at Dai Qing's cold eyes and felt very nervous.

"Xiaoqing, don't be angry. We will never say bad things about you again. Can you forgive us this time?"

Lan Feng rubbed his hands and looked at her nervously.

"I'm a timid person. I've never done anything bad. But sometimes I don't listen to you. I say nonsense when I get excited. But don't worry, I will change from now on."

"Yes, yes, we are all neighbors, and we really have no ill intentions. We promise not to tell anyone about it in the future."

Although Du Aiqin was not convinced, she did not dare to confront Dai Qing at this time.

Seeing the two of them frightened, Dai Qing snorted. "You can do it once or twice, but not three times. If I hear it again, I promise to send you to the police station for a free meal."

Hearing Dai Qing's tone, the two of them nodded as if they had been pardoned and left quickly.

As the two men's backs disappeared, Dai Qing pursed her lips with a calm expression.

Ever since she decided to become an excellent fortune teller, she has been mentally prepared and built a high wall in her heart to resist all rumors.

Now that she is still young, no one will say anything if she talks about her friends or not, but as she gets older, the situation will be different.

In this day and age, most people cannot accept the idea of ​​being a single woman.

By then, people will speculate whether you have some problem, whether you have been stimulated in some way... There are all kinds of speculations, and there is nothing they can't guess, only what you can't think of.

So, right now, this little gossip has no effect on her at all.

Dai Qing went to the market leisurely and bought a fish, a piece of tofu, and a bunch of Chinese cabbage. When she passed by a watermelon stall, she bought a big watermelon.

As soon as I got home, someone came to the door. It was a middle-aged man in his forties.

"You are the Master Dai that Brother Zhang praised so much, right?"

"Yes, please come in."

Dai Qing looked at him. It was still early, so she invited him to sit under the grape trellis and poured him a cup of chrysanthemum tea to cool him down.

"My name is Shang Guangda. I'm in the leather business, which is also a family business. But recently my business has started to go wrong. I would like to ask the master to help me see if there is a problem."

As soon as he entered the room, Dai Qing noticed that there were red spots on his face, which meant he was either in trouble or in trouble. His face was also red, which meant he was involved in a property dispute.

"You must have encountered a disaster recently, right? And you even bled."

Hearing Dai Qing's question, Shang Guangda was stunned and subconsciously touched his wrist.

"Yes, I had some problems with the car last time and crashed into a telephone pole. I bruised my wrist and scraped my leg."

"From your face, I can see that you are currently experiencing a family dispute. If you don't handle it properly, you will encounter lawsuits and disasters."

Dai Qing looked at him, frowning.

"If you brothers don't get along, don't force yourself to get together. It will only hurt others and property in the end."

Shang Guangda frowned and remained silent for a moment.

"Master Bu Man, I have two brothers and I am the eldest. Our family is a family business. My father built the business and I, as the eldest son, have been managing the leather factory. My two brothers are not good at business, so they were only given shares in the factory but no real power. After my father passed away, he specifically told me not to divide the family business but to run the factory well and fulfill my responsibilities as the eldest brother."

"But my two younger brothers didn't think so. After my father passed away, they wanted to split up the family business. I tried my best to stop them, so they managed to keep the family business afloat. But they were restless and would always go to the factory to cause trouble, determined to divide up the family property. They also planted many relatives to mess around. For the sake of my father's instructions and family harmony, I endured it all the time, but the factory was poorly managed and there were constant troubles..."

Listening to Shang Guangda's narration and looking at his face, Dai Qing shook her head.

"As the saying goes, a tree grows taller and branches out. Your father wants you to take care of your brothers, but he needs your brothers' consent. But so far, they don't agree. If you continue to insist, it will end in a bloody disaster."

I’m afraid he won’t be able to accept the critical blow from his relatives.

Shang Guangda's eyes narrowed, and he remained silent for a moment, sighing softly.

"If father knew that my brothers and I had been in such a mess, he would definitely be angry with me and blame me for not managing them well."

"They were like that when your father was alive. Don't turn a blind eye. You are a broad-minded person and a qualified brother, but brothers are not on good terms and are destined not to be together. Don't force it."

"Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts." Shang Guangda stood up, took out a red envelope from his purse, put it on the table, and left dejectedly.

Looking at his lonely back, Dai Qing was helpless. The quarrel between brothers could only be resolved by completely separating them.
