However, it was absolutely impossible for her to take out money to dig a well.
During her break from her slack, she saw Li Dani and her group approaching from afar. Her triangular eyes narrowed, and when she saw them clearly, she was furious!
She stood up abruptly and shouted loudly, disregarding everything else, "This is a village feast! What are you servants doing here? Freeloading! How can there be such shameless people? Sister Guifen, you must do something about this!"
"Don't let these outsiders take advantage of our village!"
Zhang Chunhua, who had been slacking off, stood up and looked over after hearing Sun Jinhua's words. Seeing that it really was Li Dani and her group, she pointed at them and asked unhappily, "What are you doing here? This is a village banquet. Do you even know what a village banquet means?"
"How shameless! They have no sense of propriety whatsoever as outsiders. Are they really willing to throw away their dignity for a mere morsel of food?!"
Li Dani, Zhou Yu, and the others stopped in their tracks, their faces burning red.
The workers realized what was happening, put down their work, and looked at the two women, accusing them: "Jinhua and Chunhua, what nonsense are you talking about! Da Ni and the others were invited by the old village chief!"
"They're not here to freeload; the money for this village feast is still owed to them."
Wang Chunhua interrupted first: "The old village chief invited him? What right does the old village chief have to invite him? Did he ask the villagers for their opinions?"
More than twenty people at once! And they all have huge appetites. What will we eat after they finish? I definitely don't agree to this!
Wang Guifen, who always had a good temper, walked over and said bluntly, "Who cares whether you agree or not!"
My father has consulted the villagers, and everyone else agrees. If you disagree, that's fine too, but you won't eat today's food.
"Why can't I eat it!" Wang Chunhua's eyes were filled with tears, but she stubbornly raised her chin to stop the tears from falling, and argued with Wang Guifen with her neck stiff.
The food is so good today, she won't go back in a huff!
The commotion alerted the men who were preparing firecrackers, and they all came over.
Hearing what his sister said from someone else, Zhang Xiaogou quickly crawled in and tugged at Zhang Chunhua's sleeve, "Sister, we didn't spend any money, we're just freeloading, don't argue."
Zhang Chunhua disagreed, pulling back her sleeve and continuing, "We're from the village, they aren't. How can we be the same? Where did I go wrong? Why should I give way to them!"
Wang Guifen took a deep breath, her face dark and grim. "You don't have to let them have it. It's just that they paid for part of the village banquet. If you don't want to eat with them, then you can only not eat."
Zhang Chunhua opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Sun Jinhua looked incredulous and continued, "I don't believe it. They've all sold themselves into slavery, where would they get the money? Sister-in-law Guifen, you can't lie to help them."
This time, without Wang Guifen speaking or the women chiming in, the men in the crowd stepped forward and said coldly, "Their men did the work!"
"Does that money belong to them?"
"Their employer also contributed, so are they entitled to a share?"
"To be honest, everyone, whether from this village or the so-called 'outsiders,' has contributed to the public coffers. Only your two families haven't contributed. And now, those who didn't contribute are the ones who are jumping the gun the most!"
