Sister Liu's eyes turned red. "They are jealous of me because I am making money. They think that an old lady like me is useless and can't do as much as young people. They also think that the salary for Dexian's wife, a temporary worker, is too high and it's too early for her to leave."
"Sister Liu, this is your partnership. I'm the one who brought you together. There's no reason for you to back out. I'll find Mantun tomorrow."
Sister Liu was also reluctant to give up her monthly income of a few dozen yuan. "Zhiqiu, I will pay for Dexian's wife's salary myself. I don't do much work, so I will just consider it as Dexian's wife helping me."
"Sister Liu, you can't say that. What we said in the beginning should be counted. The skills are yours, how can you say you are not doing enough?" Wu Zhiqiu didn't expect that Xiulan, who looked like a good young wife, would become so cunning after making some money.
"Xinghu helps me every day, so I am really taking advantage of him. I will pay for hiring people myself, so don't worry about it. Zhiqiu, I'm going to tell you the truth, I want to find another shop to work on my own." Sister Liu did not hide it from Wu Zhiqiu. She had been thinking a lot in the past few days. She had her own skills, so if she was unhappy with the cooperation, they could just break up.
"Everything that comes together must eventually separate. Even a business partnership between relatives doesn't last long, let alone your relationship." Wu Zhiqiu understood. Sister Liu had her own skills, so she could just hire a few people to do the work. She wouldn't have to worry about other people's opinions and could decide how much she earned.
Sister Liu pulled Wu Zhiqiu and said, "I knew you could support me. When your mother-in-law comes, I'll go to her place to see if there's a suitable shop. Don't tell Xiulan and the others yet. It'll take two or three months to find a shop and sort out anything. I don't want to cause any trouble."
"Okay, don't worry. If you don't let me tell you, I won't tell you even if you kill me," Wu Zhiqiu joked.
Sister Liu also smiled, knowing that her elder sisters would definitely support her.
After coming out of Sister Liu's room, Wu Zhiqiu went to the public phone at the street corner and called the village.
The team leader, Li Mantun, Li Mancang, Master Bai, and several key members of the village were holding a meeting to discuss the construction of the greenhouse.
The captain picked up the phone and asked, "Who is this?"
"Captain, I'm Wu Zhiqiu. Please notify Mantun and ask him to come over tomorrow morning."
The phone was not soundproofed. Li Mantun glanced at his elder brother and asked his sister-in-law what he was doing up there.
Li Mancang picked up the phone and said, "Is there something going on at home? Why do you want Mancang to go? Why don't I go?"
Wu Zhiqiu didn't expect that Li Mancang would also come to the brigade. "It's a matter in the shop. Xiulan's brothers are here to bully Sister Liu. Ask Cuihua or Mantun to deal with it."
Li Mancang glanced at Li Mantun and hung up the phone.
Li Mantun heard it all, his face flushed, "I'll go up tomorrow morning."
The others pretended not to hear and continued with the meeting. They were all wondering how the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mantun family, who looked honest, could do such a thing. They were both genuine country people. When they went to the city, they didn't know anything. Now she feels that she is powerful, so she is destroying the bridge after crossing it?
After the meeting, on the way home, Li Mancang said to his brother, "It was your sister-in-law who helped you contact the store. Don't let your sister-in-law suffer the consequences. Xinghu only did some work for them, but they both live and eat in the store. Sister Liu paid the rent for them, but she never said anything."
