"Oh, you're back, you're back! Third sister-in-law, why did you come back so late? Everyone was worried!" Li Hongmei was standing at the gate of the courtyard, watching Cheng Yunan coming back from a distance, and patted her thigh twice.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. I was just delayed on the road." Cheng Yunan said as he walked into the yard.
"Oh, I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay. The roads have been a bit troublesome recently, and I...we are worried about you." Li Hongmei said sincerely.
This is her God of Wealth, she must not do anything to him.
Regardless of whether she thought so in her heart, Cheng Yunan said, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. When the business at the clothing store stabilizes, I won't work so late!"
"Old man, why are you still blocking the door? Why don't you let Nan Nan in?"
Seeing that they were talking endlessly, Ma Xiu Lian said with a fierce face.
"Ah?! Oh, look at me, I can't stop talking. Sister-in-law, come in quickly."
After the two of them entered the house, they waited for a while before Yang Ru and the others came over and asked about the clothing store.
Cheng Yunan naturally told the story of the successful opening of the clothing store and distributed the fabrics.
"Thank you for your hard work these days. I will bring clothes to town early tomorrow morning, so..."
"It's not hard at all. We should thank Cheng Zhiqing for giving us such a good opportunity to make money!"
"That's right, when I took the money back yesterday, my husband laughed so hard that his eyes and eyebrows almost closed together!"
"My mother-in-law doesn't want me to work! She's afraid I'll get hurt."
…
Everyone was talking about interesting things.
As they were talking passionately, they heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
"I heard that Cheng Zhiqing is back. Oh, that's great. My Xiaoru was still worried about you!" A woman walked in hurriedly.
He had high cheekbones, a pointed face, dark skin, and although he was smiling while speaking, there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
This person is...
Xiaoru tugged at her mother's clothes and asked her to speak.
The woman immediately changed the subject and said, "I heard that there is still work to be done tonight, so I brought Xiaoru here! Oh, everyone has divided it up, Cheng Zhiqing, my Xiaoru's share..."
Xiaoru was a little afraid to look Cheng Yunan in the eye.
She knew that when Ma Yunmei came to make trouble, she did not stand on Cheng Zhiqing's side, so she felt guilty.
But compared to feeling guilty, making money is more important, so when she heard that there was another batch of goods to be delivered tonight, she dragged her mother over.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Tao, I've already divided the work just now, and there's nothing left! You should take Xiaoru back." Cheng Yunan's expression did not change, and he didn't even blink when he lied.
She was the one who brought about the protest. If she said there was no protest, then there was no protest. How could others refute her?
She really looks down on people like Xiaoru.
She picks up the bowl to eat, and curses her mother when she puts down the bowl. She has to ask for more abuse before she will be given the opportunity to make money again.
Auntie Tao's face drooped suddenly, and she turned around and slapped Xiaoru, "Cheng Zhiqing, I know that this damn girl didn't think before she spoke and acted yesterday and did something wrong. I brought her here to apologize to you today. If you want to scold me, I will do it. Just calm down and don't bother with this damn girl. Assigning the work of making clothes to other people is really..."
As he spoke, he choked up and started to cry.
"Village chief! You know the situation of our Dazhu. We are really struggling to make ends meet. We cannot give up this lucrative job. Please, let Cheng Zhiqing give Xiaoru another chance. I, I kneel down to you..."
Aunt Tao said this and knelt down towards Lu Weimin.
"Uncle, please help us. My youngest son is still waiting to get married, and my old man is still a dying man. Without money, he can only wait to die. I beg you to give us a chance..."
Xiaoru was standing nearby. Her mother pulled her hard, and she half-knelt down and started crying along with Mimimi.
Cheng Yunan's face was pitch black, so gloomy that ink could drip out of it.
"I'm talking to you, Mr. Tao. What are you doing? People who don't know would think that our family is bullying you and your mother! Get up now!" Ma Xiu Lian was very angry and stepped forward to drag Aunt Tao.
Forcing people to kneel is not the way of the master.
If this causes people to spread lies, what will happen to their family members?
Not to mention the old man's title of village chief, even the third brother's reputation will be damaged.
This is not asking for help, this is trying to harm someone.
"He's a dead person, why don't you pull him up quickly." Ma Xiu Lian pulled Aunt Tao San and glared at Li Hongmei, telling her to pull the person up quickly.
Li Hongmei was watching the excitement, but her mother-in-law gave her a look and she was so scared that she ran over to grab the person.
Tao Xiaoru's skinny body was no match for Li Hongmei, and the two were dragged to stand up.
"Stand still, don't be so weak as to kneel down. So many people are watching us. We won't acknowledge you if you try to cheat us!" Li Hongmei's threatening words fell into Tao Xiaoru's ears.
Ma Xiulian was furious and shouted: "I am talking to the Tao family. You said your family is in trouble, but who in our village is not in trouble?
Before my daughter-in-law found a job to earn money, no one starved to death and Uncle Tao lived well. How come now that my daughter-in-law is helping the villagers find jobs to earn money, she's gotten into trouble instead? According to what you said, without this job, if anything happens to Uncle Tao, it will be Nan Nan's fault, right?
This is not an apology, it's a threat. I have never met anyone as shameless as you."
"Hiss?! I said I just heard something wrong. It turns out that the Tao family has such evil intentions. Ugh."
"Don't you see that Cheng Zhiqing was slandered? What did your Xiaoru do? How dare she come to my house? If I were such a selfish and foolish girl, I would definitely tie her up at home or just find a piece of tofu to kill herself."
"Bah, don't think you are smart and treat others as fools. Who doesn't know what they are thinking?"
"That's right. On the contrary, we are only grateful to Cheng Zhiqing."
"Of course not. They have worked hard to bring us such a good opportunity to make money. We can't be ungrateful."
…
Everyone started talking at once and slandering Aunt Tao San and her daughter, making them feel ashamed.
Auntie Tao wanted to make a scene, but Ma Xiulian covered her mouth and said, "Old Tao, if you dare to say another word of nonsense, I will make your whole family pick up shit tomorrow!"
"You, you are bullying others by taking advantage of your power, Village Chief. Are you just going to watch the villagers being bullied by your family?" Aunt Tao was almost mad with anger. Why was this family so difficult to deal with?
She thought that if she said this, Cheng Yunan would assign more work to Xiaoru out of courtesy.
But now, the village chief and his family have been completely offended.
"Sanmei Tao, please have some shame. If you hadn't threatened Cheng Zhiqing first, how could Xiulian say such a thing? We are all witnesses."
"That's right. If you don't have any shame, don't blame others for making things difficult for you. Besides, picking up dung has always been a job that everyone in the village takes turns to do. It's just that your job was taken forward."
