When Li Weidong asked, Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan immediately became incredibly excited.
The two of them eagerly began teaching each other.
"First of all, when building a house, the food can't be too good. When you hire someone to build a house, the food is usually just cabbage and tofu, maybe with a little meat at most. If you make meat the main dish, it's too wasteful and not good."
"And another thing, with so many people here, why aren't you keeping an eye on things? What if someone slacks off, or steals bricks or cement? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
These words immediately aroused public outrage.
"Who are you saying stole bricks, tiles, and cement?"
"We don't mind if the food is a little bad, we're here to help Weidong with his work anyway, but you can't accuse us of stealing!"
"Zhao Xiufen, watch your mouth. Which eye of yours saw us slacking off?"
"You bitch, if you dare spout any more nonsense, believe me, I'll kill you!"
A group of workers gathered around.
Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan turned pale with fright and hurriedly hid behind Li Weidong.
Li Weidong raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, then looked at the two and asked, "So?"
What brings you here?
Perhaps seeing that he wasn't angry, the two of them became much bolder.
Zhao Xiufen said confidently, "We came here, of course, to help you!"
Zhao Xiujuan quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Weidong, you didn't do a good job. Building such a big house, why didn't you tell us?"
"If you tell them, your uncle, cousin, and I will come over to help!"
"They're all relatives, they're more trustworthy than strangers, right?"
Without saying a word?
Li Weidong almost burst out laughing.
When he was building a house, not to mention the big fuss that happened when he dug up a silver coin while digging the foundation during the Lantern Festival, let's talk about this time!
The day before they said they were going to build a house, people from several surrounding villages came over the next day to offer their help.
Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan both married people from nearby villages, and some of the people who came to help were even from their own village. He didn't believe that the two of them didn't know!
The house is almost finished, and now they're suddenly offering to help?
What a joke!
And if they really wanted to help, they could have helped with the cleaning, but what did they do?
They came in acting like the master of the house, bossing everyone around. They didn't do any work, but they ate a lot of meat. It's hilarious!
Before Li Weidong could even speak, the farmers who were working couldn't stand it anymore.
"How dare you say you don't know?"
"The Wei family is building a house; I'm sure everyone in the surrounding area knows about it!"
"You didn't come before, but now that the house is almost finished, you rush over and pretend to offer to help. I've never seen anyone so shameless."
"Zhao Xiujuan, how dare you say you didn't know? On my first day back from work, your husband came to visit, and I even said that Wei Dong's family was generous and provided plenty of food. You dare to say you didn't know?"
Everyone started complaining.
Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan blushed upon hearing this, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Li Weidong was too lazy to waste words with them and said directly, "I don't need your help here, go back!"
After saying that, she added, "I thought my family had fallen out with your two families after my grandfather was hospitalized!"
"After all, putting aside the issue of medical expenses, you two have said a lot of bad things about me to Hu Zi, haven't you?"
"What's wrong? You've already forgotten about it and are now trying to get close to me?"
Having relatives like this is truly the worst luck imaginable!
The others burst into laughter, their eyes filled with disdain as they looked at Zhao Xiufen and her sister.
Even the two of them, with their thick skin, couldn't withstand the pressure under these circumstances.
Zhao Xiufen felt embarrassed and instinctively wanted to run away.
But when he thought about his own life and the farmers who followed Li Weidong to grow mushrooms, eating meat and wearing new clothes, he mustered up his courage again.
She sighed, looking ashamed: "Weidong, I was wrong about what happened before. I apologize to you here. I'm sorry."
Zhao Xiujuan then spoke up: "Weidong, you are a sensible child, you will definitely understand us."
"Your aunt and I were also deceived by Tiger. He has a grudge against you, so he dragged us into this to deal with you..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
Li Weidong looked at her with a sneer: "He told you all to gang up on me, so you just followed him. What, are you his dogs?"
Someone shouted, "Even the dogs at home aren't this obedient. Dogs bite people after they've already seen what's going on!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhao Xiujuan's face flushed red, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes, but she suppressed it, her expression becoming even more pitiful: "Then...isn't it because Hu Zi is too cunning?"
Zhao Xiufen's eyes reddened: "Weidong, we're all relatives. I even held you when you were little! Now that we're living such a miserable life, how can you bear to see us like this?"
Li Weidong retorted, "Is it my fault that you're all suffering?"
Zhao Xiufen choked immediately.
Zhao Xiujuan, quick-witted, immediately said, "Of course this has nothing to do with you. We were tricked by that damned little beast Hu Zi. You have no idea how badly he harmed us!"
"He tricked us into growing mushrooms before the Lunar New Year, but in the end, not only did the mushrooms not grow well, but he also tried to drive down the purchase price. We lost all the money we had saved up for these mushrooms!"
"Yes, yes!"
Zhao Xiufen chimed in, "I see now. Hu Zi is a heartless, rotten beast. He's not even as good as your toes!"
"But now it's all good. Wang Dahua has been arrested. She deserved it. Even God couldn't stand it anymore and this is retribution for her family!"
The two men cursed and insulted the Tiger family, giving them a thorough dressing-down.
Li Weidong didn't say anything, just quietly watched them.
The two had been arguing until their saliva dried up, and finally felt embarrassed.
After exchanging a glance, Zhao Xiujuan said with an awkward smile, "Well... Weidong, look at us now, with Hu Zi like this, it's definitely impossible for us to follow him anymore."
"How about we grow mushrooms with you this year?"
Zhao Xiufen nodded vigorously, looking at Li Weidong with anticipation.
Because the two of them lost money growing mushrooms with Hu Zi, they were both complained about by their in-laws and lived a miserable life. They were hoping to make money growing mushrooms with Li Weidong so that their in-laws could turn the tables on them!
Li Weidong laughed: "Want to grow mushrooms with me?"
The two nodded hurriedly, their smiles becoming even more obsequious.
Li Weidong's smile became even more pronounced.
He looked at the two ingratiating faces, slowly shook his head, and said, word by word, "I'm sorry, no."
