Upon seeing A Bao, Zheng Shouyi frowned slightly.
Before these people even spoke, he could roughly guess why they had come.
Sure enough, just as he stopped and was considering whether to go back to the company, his wife, Miao Xiaocui, grabbed him and said indignantly, "Abao told me about the mess you've made. If you don't give everyone an explanation today, don't even think about leaving."
"Xiao Cui, things aren't what you think..."
Before Zheng Shouyi could finish explaining, Miao Xiaocui interrupted him, "If you have something to say, go to the courtyard and talk to everyone!"
Without saying a word, Miao Xiaocui forcibly dragged him into her own yard.
"Big brother, is everything Abao said true?"
A woman who looked a few years younger than Miao Xiaocui stepped forward and said with a pained expression, "Abao is your nephew! He was afraid you would be taken advantage of, so he went to the construction site to stop them from working. And what do you do? You actually said you would call the police to arrest him. Are you not going to acknowledge me as your sister anymore?"
"Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zheng Shouyi hurriedly explained, "How could I not acknowledge you as my sister? But I've already made it very clear to Abao about what happened earlier. I sold that piece of land to the company voluntarily. There was no deception as Abao claimed."
"Bullshit... no, you're talking nonsense!"
Abao pointed at Zheng Shouyi and said, "Based on the current market price of land in the suburbs of the county, it should be worth at least 300,000 yuan, but you only sold it to them for 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. Isn't that being fooled by them?"
He paused, then pointed at Miao Xiaocui and said, "Aunt, you said this yourself. Do you think I'm wronging my uncle?"
"Of course not!"
Miao Xiaocui seemed to have been convinced by this group long ago, and said to Zheng Shouyi with the same disappointment, "Shouyi, are you confused? You sold the company to them a long time ago. The company is no longer yours. How can you give away such a valuable piece of land to them for nothing?"
"I didn't give it away for nothing!"
Zheng Shouyi felt like crying. "I just didn't need that much money, and they were really in trouble, so I sold it to them at a lower price."
These words immediately provoked outrage and a barrage of criticism from all the relatives present.
"Shouyi, you're absolutely foolish!"
"Brother, can you even speak human language?"
"Uncle, you don't need that much money. Can't you help us out? We're dirt poor."
"Uncle, Wang Qian is a big boss, he's rich, why would he need your 300,000?"
"Yes, when Wang Qian acquired the company at a low price, he took a huge advantage. Now he wants to rip you off on the land. Wang Qian is too wicked."
"He's being nice to you on purpose just to make you happy and then make more money off you. Don't you have any brains?"
“Brother-in-law, if you think you have too much money, go and take back the land and resell it. Give me another 30,000, and I will definitely thank you.”
Faced with the accusations from the crowd, Zheng Shouyi was on the verge of tears.
He wanted to explain that he wasn't being fooled by Wang Qian, but because of the price, the more he explained, the more people would think he had been thoroughly brainwashed by Wang Qian.
"Uncle Zheng, are you there?"
Just as Zheng Shouyi was in a dilemma, a very familiar voice came from outside.
"Wang Qian?"
Zheng Shouyi immediately understood.
However, his expression turned even uglier.
A whole bunch of his relatives had arranged to come and cause him trouble today.
Moreover, the reason for causing trouble for him was related to Wang Qian.
Now that Wang Qian has taken the initiative to come to us, wouldn't that just give people something to talk about?
No matter how depressed he was, a large group of his relatives still stood up and looked out of the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expressions became somewhat complicated, some looking embarrassed, some gloating, and others full of anticipation.
"It's that big boss!"
"And the manager he hired, Zhao Kang, and the deputy manager, Song Lu, I recognize them."
What are they doing here now?
"have no idea!"
"But since Wang Qian isn't coming, we were planning to take our older brother to find him."
"If my brother-in-law is too embarrassed to say it, we'll say it for him!"
"I refuse to believe that these unscrupulous merchants have no conscience at all."
"Let him in quickly. Everyone has one mouth, and I don't believe we can't argue with him."
Hearing his relatives whispering, Zheng Shouyi wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
However, now that things have come to this, it would be really unreasonable for him not to go and welcome Wang Qian and the other two in.
Moreover, if he doesn't go to greet them, his relatives won't let it go so easily.
After quickly assessing the situation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out to greet them, forcing an awkward smile. "Boss, Manager Zhao, Deputy Manager Song, what brings you here?"
"Uncle Zheng, I just heard Zhao Kang and Song Lu say that there was some misunderstanding today, so I came here specifically to check on things!"
As he said this, Wang Qian handed over a package of gifts he had brought.
"Boss, you're here, why did you bring all this stuff?" Zheng Shouyi waved his hands repeatedly.
But Wang Qian forced the gift into Zheng Shouyi's hand, saying, "Uncle Zheng, it's improper to visit without bringing a gift. Please accept it."
"Well... okay!"
Seeing Wang Qian's insistence, and considering that the gift wasn't particularly valuable—just a box of liquor worth a dozen yuan—Zheng Shouyi was prepared to accept it.
But just as he reached out, his hand was snapped off by a hand reaching out from the side. Immediately, Abao's furious voice rang out, "Uncle, this is their self-inflicted injury ploy! You still dare to take it?"
