"Why did you ask her to leave when she was fine? She thought I had something against her." Her father Li Hongwei frowned and looked reluctant.

"She can't do much work in a day anyway. It would be strange if we didn't let her go and kept her here." Liu Lanxiang said angrily, relying on her daughter being by her side. Normally, she didn't dare to talk back to Li Hongwei. Talking back was just quarreling, and she would be beaten after just a few words.

The "people" Liu Lanxiang mentioned are the people in the village.

In fact, this is the truth. You hire people because you have too much work to do at home. But if the hired people can't do the work at all, then what's the point of keeping them?

Don’t you think what some people in the village say is harsh enough?

Li Yutong also looked at her father Li Hongwei several times.

In the village, most people have a hard life. Most men are limited by their own conditions. Without money, they can't have those fancy ideas. If they get tanned and dirty, they can forget about having beautiful women be with them.

But now, her father Li Hongwei is rich and owns a hundred acres of land to grow peppers. Her mother runs a restaurant and her daughter runs a hotpot restaurant. Even if he himself does not have those wicked ideas, he can't help but be targeted by others.

As far as she knew, there had been several times when he was either asked to play cards or to drink, but he never went. This time, a woman actually came directly.

Does he really want to develop some kind of relationship with this woman?

Li Yutong doesn't think so. Although her father looks very confident, he is actually very inferior at heart.

He felt that the woman would definitely not like someone like him: a village farmer, dark and thin, not rich, married, with two daughters. So, even if he had such thoughts in his mind, he knew it was wrong and was too embarrassed to speak out.

But when he was too embarrassed to speak up, it did not prevent him from feeling that he was innocent when interacting with others.

She said coldly, "Dad, we are paying people to do the work, not doing good deeds out of charity. Since she can't do the work, let her go. What's wrong with that?"

She felt that what she said was right, but her father Li Hongwei immediately got angry: "What do you know? People have to be polite at all times. If you ask someone to leave nicely, won't that just offend them?"

"Who is she to our family? Why should we talk to her about social etiquette? If all bosses think like you, how can the business continue?" Li Yutong said angrily.

"That's right. I don't know what your father is thinking." Her mother Liu Lanxiang also said.

Li Hongwei immediately became angry and felt that the mother and daughter were pointing fingers at him: "Are you two crazy? Do you have to chase them away?"

He still felt that he was right: "We are doing piecework, and we get paid a certain amount for picking one pound of peppers. If she picks less, she gets less. No matter how we calculate it, we won't suffer any loss. Why do we have to ask her to leave?"

Seeing that he still had the nerve to say these twisted theories, things were not like that at all. Liu Lanxiang was about to cry: "Do you have any shame? Do you know what others say about you?"

Seeing that the conversation was over, Li Hongwei felt more and more embarrassed in front of his daughter: "I think you are mentally ill, go back to your work."

Liu Lanxiang suddenly felt disappointed and couldn't help crying: "I have suffered so much for marrying you, and after just a few days of living a stable life, your heart has gone wild..."

"Damn it, I think you just want to be beaten." Li Hongwei was furious and felt that the status of his family was challenged. He wanted to fight with Liu Lanxiang immediately.

"If you want to hit me, just beat me to death. Killing me will make room for others." Liu Lanxiang relied on her daughter being in front of her, not only was she not afraid, she also started to shout.

"Dad, Mom!" Li Yutong was extremely angry.

The woman didn't say anything, and her father knew his own limitations. He didn't do anything, but he made her family uneasy.

"Hongwei, what are you doing? Let's talk it over nicely." Someone came over and stopped Li Hongwei.

There were also women who were relatives of Liu Lanxiang who hurried forward to Liu Lanxiang and said, "Lanxiang, Hongwei seems to be exhausted every day. Why don't you say that you understand her? What are you saying?"

She pulled Liu Lanxiang and winked at her at the same time. This person had no idea what was going on. She started a fuss when there was nothing going on. Wasn't Qing just waiting to make that woman laugh at her?

Liu Lanxiang understood what was happening and started crying out of grievance, unable to speak a word.

She didn't do anything, so she feels even more aggrieved. She feels aggrieved that her man is like a dog. When someone gives him a nice face, he doesn't even know his own name.

It's as if I'm picking up other people's unwanted junk and treating it as a treasure.

"She deserves a beating!" Li Hongwei, Li Yutong's father, saw that there were more people around, and he seemed to want to prove that he had no ideas. He pointed at Liu Lanxiang and said aggrievedly: "I work so hard just to make more money so that my wife and children can live a good life. Look at what she thinks about all day long!"

Liu Lanxiang cried even more sadly after hearing this: "I am not a human being, I am a beast, okay."

The couple started fighting, and those who were working stopped working. Some people watched and didn't know whether to come over to persuade them, while others gathered in groups of three or four and whispered to each other.

The woman came over in a hurry, with only a few peppers in her bag, and advised Liu Lanxiang: "Sister-in-law, the more crowded the place is, the more you can't quarrel with men. Men want to save face. The more you talk, the more excited they will be. Sister, don't be angry."

Her advice only added fuel to the fire.

Li Yutong stepped forward to separate her, and said with a half-smile: "My mother is an honest person, she doesn't understand what those men are thinking. As a couple, they can say whatever they want. Even if they fight, they are still registered as one person after the fight. It has nothing to do with outsiders, right?"

The woman looked at Li Hongwei, then looked at Liu Lanxiang who seemed a little proud, and smiled: "This must be Xiaoyu, your father always praises you to me, saying that you are sensible, worry-free, and can make money."

Li Yutong just smiled and said nothing.

The woman felt a little guilty about her look and went to work aside under the pretext of something.

After everyone tried to reconcile them, Li Hongwei felt ashamed, and Liu Lanxiang also saw that the woman was warned by her daughter, so she felt relieved and stopped making trouble.

Li Yutong went back home with her parents.

Li Hongwei probably felt that he was a little embarrassed just now, so he explained to Li Yutong again: "Dad is so old, he doesn't have that kind of thought at all. It's just your mom who is suspicious all the time, and I don't know what's going on in her mind."

Li Yutong nodded: "Then you fire her to prove that you really don't have such an idea."

Li Hongwei glared: "If he quits, wouldn't that prove that this happened? We have to keep him. We are all open and honest. Let's see who dares to say anything."

Li Yutong was silent, and her mother Liu Lanxiang became anxious again: "Everyone else is a fool, only you are smart."

"You bastard, do you have the right to speak?" Li Hongwei wanted to take action again.

Li Yutong blocked her mother Liu Lanxiang behind her and said to him, "Don't fight with my mother, this is my mother."
