Seeing Ma Xiulian running towards the house, several old ladies who had just been treated unfairly by Cheng Yunan and his wife immediately followed her.
"After wasting so much money, Cheng Zhiqing is bound to get beaten this time! Come on, let's catch up and see the excitement."
"Yes, that woman is so arrogant in front of us, I wonder if she won't be beaten to death soon."
"For a spendthrift like Cheng Zhiqing, even if she grows up to be a fairy, we don't want her in our family!"
"That's right, who can afford to support her? She just got married and hasn't even been married for three months, but she has already spent hundreds of dollars on me. I think that stinky boy Lu Shiye must have been bewitched by that vixen Cheng Zhiqing, so he let her spend so much money. That's hundreds of dollars! I have never seen so much money in my life, what a pity!"
"Of course, I've never seen so much money, but those cloths are good things and can be sold. Otherwise... let's go find Cheng Zhiqing and do her a favor and buy a few feet of cloth?" Ma Yunmei said cheerfully.
She had just seen Ma Xiulian's anxious look to go home and settle the accounts, which made her so happy.
Her younger son was not as good-looking as Lu Shiye, but Cheng Zhiqing actually chose him. Now she was outdone by Ma Xiulian. How could she accept this?
Just now, it was because she instigated a few old ladies to make trouble, and sure enough, Ma Xiulian went back to settle the score with Cheng Zhiqing.
OK!
That’s great!
It would be best if there was some noise in their house, then her efforts in instigation would not be in vain.
But instead of Cheng Yunan being beaten by her mother-in-law, she could focus her attention on the pile of cloth.
Although she didn't look closely, the fabrics were good for making clothes or sewing quilt covers.
The key point is that Cheng Yunan is anxious to turn the cloth into money, so he is determined to bargain for a lower price.
She had to take advantage of any opportunity, especially when it came to her Ma Xiulian family. She would be very happy if she took advantage of them.
After hearing Chen Lanma's encouragement, the onlookers immediately became interested.
Chen Lanma is not the only smart person. Others who can think of it have naturally thought of it as well.
"Hurry up, let's follow them and see, maybe we can stop a fight."
"That's right, Cheng Zhiqing is weak, don't let Ma Xiulian hurt her!"
"You're right, let's go..."
In a blink of an eye, there was no trace of anyone left under the big locust tree.
They all chased after Ma Xiulian. Those who ran slowly did not even have time to put their shoes on after they fell off, but just kept holding them in their hands while running.
I was afraid that if I went too late I wouldn’t be able to get the good fabric.
To take advantage, you must be the first.
This is bound to disappoint them.
When the crowd of onlookers chased to the gate of Lu Weimin's house, they saw a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law who looked like sisters in the yard, one fetching water and the other washing her hands with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other.
Where is the scene of beating up the daughter-in-law as promised?
What happened to Cheng Zhiqing crying and begging for mercy?
This... this painting style is clearly very harmonious, and it is so different from what they expected that they simply couldn't believe it.
"Ma Xiulian, don't you want to come home and question Cheng Zhiqing about the fabric? How come you are so confused by just a few words? You can't do this. You have to beat your daughter-in-law. If you don't beat her or discipline her, she will always climb up to her mother-in-law's head and pee and poop."
"Ma Yunmei, what nonsense are you talking about here? I am not like you. You don't treat your daughter-in-law as a family member, and you can beat and scold her at will. If a girl from a good family wants to marry into your family, she will be in trouble for the rest of her life."
Ma Xiu Lian never had a good word to say about Ma Yunmei.
This woman feels uncomfortable unless she stirs up trouble.
"Ma Xiulian, please don't be ignorant. I am doing this for your own good..."
"You're instigating me to beat my daughter-in-law just for my own good? Bah! Get rid of that face, you're the only one who believes that." Ma Xiu Lian didn't buy her nonsense at all.
What's more, the third son's wife had already explained it to her as soon as she entered the yard.
The fabrics all came from a tailor shop, and she brought them back only to make clothes for her.
He even specifically let the second son's wife take this job to earn money. It's hard to find such a kind-hearted and generous daughter-in-law even with a lantern.
She had never even beaten Li Hongmei, who was so unreasonable, let alone Nan Nan.
"Ma Xiu Lian, she spent so much money to buy so much fabric, and you really let her squander it like this?" Ma Yunmei changed the subject to something that everyone liked to hear.
The old women are fighting, they are not as anxious to take advantage as them.
Li Hongmei also came out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand. After hearing what Auntie Chen said, she immediately started to show off, "Who said we spent money? We didn't spend a penny on these fabrics."
Not only do you not spend any money, you can also make money.
"What?! You really didn't spend any money? Could it be that Cheng Zhiqing's family really sent it to him? That's too much money!"
"That's not right! When Cheng Zhiqing got married, none of her family members came. If they were really rich and would love their daughter, why wouldn't they come to her important event? I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here."
"This fabric... is not from a legitimate source? I say, Cheng Zhiqing, even if you want to show off in front of the whole village, you can't do something without bottom line and principles, and bring shame to Lu Shiye, making him unable to hold his head up when he leaves the house."
This statement is very ambiguous.
Cheng Yunan saw deep malice in her eyes.
"Yes! Cheng Zhiqing, come out and tell us what's going on with this fabric?"
Cheng Yunan, who was called, took two steps forward, glanced at Ma Yunmei, and said, "I didn't expect everyone to be so curious about the source of this fabric. Even if everyone didn't come, I would find someone to explain this matter clearly!"
Cheng Yunan did not give others a chance to open the door, and continued: "You may not know that I am now an employee of a community tailor shop in the town, and the fabrics I brought back are also needed by the tailor shop to be made into ready-made clothes.
There was only one sewing machine in the tailor shop and it was too busy, so they outsourced the job. As a member of our village, I naturally have to work hard to fight for such a good opportunity to make money for our village.
Fortunately, the manager trusted me and let me take the cloth back. I was thinking of asking my mother later which aunt or sister-in-law in our village is good at making clothes and has a sewing machine. I will share the work among others and let everyone do the processing for me and make some money as well.
I never thought that my good intentions would lead to such a big misunderstanding. If I had known this, why would I have worked so hard to seek welfare for the village? Even after talking so much, I still have to be wrongly accused.
Mom, I will return the fabric to the tailor shop tomorrow. I will never take part in this kind of money-making business again, lest I end up doing nothing but getting into trouble."
After saying this, his eyes were red, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"What? Cheng Zhiqing has become an employee of the commune's tailor shop!"
"She brought back fabric from the commune tailor shop, which really didn't cost her anything."
"She said she wanted to make clothes out of the fabric, and when she got it back she wanted to find someone in our village to do the processing for her."
"What does OEM mean?"
Li Hongmei felt that it was her turn to take the stage, and said proudly: "It means that we will let the villagers make the clothes, and we will charge a certain amount for each piece of clothing."
"Is this really a good way to make money?"
"This is great news, this is great news. Cheng Zhiqing has found a good way for us to make money!"
"Cheng Zhiqing, how much does it cost to make a piece of clothing?" someone asked eagerly.
