Chapter 446 Wang Buren Demands Compensation
It seemed that since he came to this family, he had been treated with countless indifference. Not only Xu Miaomiao, but even Gu Yuanniang and Xu Qingshan were extremely cold to him. He had been trying to find something to prove his existence, but it seemed that the more he did this, the more different the effect he got.
He thought that with Madam Zhang always sticking up for him behind his back, the Xu family would treat him well, but they seemed to be united and did not take him seriously at all. Even Madam Zhang's words in front of them seemed to have no effect. So it was true that everyone in his family before him was gone, but he was the most important person in the family after all, and had never been subjected to such harsh criticism and indifference. He was not used to being treated like this suddenly, so he tried hard to find some sense of existence in this family.
It would be fine if Xu Qingshan treated him like this, but why did Gu Yuanniang and Xu Miaomiao treat him like this? Thinking of this, Liu Juan unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her little movement was seen clearly by Xu Miaomiao who was standing beside her. It seems that this Liu Juan is no less a young lady than that Liu Hong, so she has to be on guard against everything.
But now Madam Zhang was still staring at her covetously. If she blamed Liu Juan, it would probably cause inconvenience for Gu Yuanniang and Xu Qingshan. When Xu Miaomiao thought of this, she sighed and didn't know what to choose for a moment. For some reason, she couldn't even eat the meal in front of her.
Seeing that Liu Juan didn't say anything, Xu Miaomiao put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, trying to break the awkward atmosphere, but the woman opposite didn't seem to feel awkward at all. She sat down on the chair and drank the tea in front of her.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao could only look and say, "I've almost finished my meal. Madam Liu, if you don't have anything else to do, you can go back first. There are a lot of people coming and going in my shop. It's probably not convenient for a young lady like you to be looked at by men outside like this."
Liu Juan disagreed and shook her head at Xu Miaomiao: "What are you talking about, Madam Xu? After all, I am Mr. Xu's concubine. Now I am married. If I can help share some of the family property, I should help share some of it. How can I sit at home and cook and wait for death every day? Besides, I will be restless if I do nothing at home every day. It would be better for me to help out in your department store."
"Although I don't have any business sense, I can still help with the arrangement of things and the accounting. My family taught me some of it."
"Oh?" Xu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
Nowadays, the well-established families in the capital would definitely not ask women to do the accounting, so after hearing that Liu Juan could do the accounting, Xu Miaomiao was actually a little surprised. However, Liu Juan smiled slightly. She really enjoyed the feeling of finally being seen by others.
Liu Juan nodded, and then slowly said to Xu Miaomiao: "Madam, you don't know this. Previously, my family did some small business, and I am the only daughter in the family, so I have learned a little from my parents. Madam Xu, don't be so surprised. I can still do these simple calculations."
After hearing this, Xu Miaomiao nodded. As soon as the words fell, the two of them ran out of topics to talk about, and Xu Miaomiao didn't know what to say. At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Xu Miaomiao looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Wang Buren swaggering in, with a folding fan in his hand. There was a confident look between his eyebrows, as if he would be able to teach Xu Miaomiao a lesson today.
Xu Miaomiao didn't take it seriously. Wang Buren had already made things difficult for them enough, and he wasn't afraid of it a few more times. Besides, after what happened in the village a few days ago, he didn't have much to say. When Wang Buren saw Xu Miaomiao, his brows relaxed, and he looked at her with a smile and said, "Xu Miaomiao, do you know that all the land in Wangjia Village is mine now? I've bought them all, so whether there's a harvest on that piece of land or not is mine."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she didn't take it seriously and nodded at him. Liu Juan, who was standing by, looked at the sudden fire between the two of them and quietly stepped aside without saying a word. It seemed that there was going to be a good show to watch. Liu Juan thought secretly in her heart that this trip was really worthwhile.
Having said that, Liu Juan began to silently look at Wang Buren's face opposite her.
Wang Bu Ren felt a sight, so he set his eyes on Liu Juan, then lifted her chin with his fan and said, "Oh, when did such a beautiful young lady come here? Xu Miaomiao, you are really mean. You didn't even tell me that you had such a good-looking girl."
When Liu Juan saw this scene, her face immediately turned red with fright. The mist in her eyes immediately rushed up, as if she was about to cry at the next moment, and she timidly called out "Madam Xu".
Although Xu Miaomiao sighed, she could only take a step forward to protect Liu Juan behind her. She stared at Wang Buren in front of her and said, "I don't know what important matter Mr. Wang came to see me today?"
Wang Bu Ren laughed and then took back the fan that Liu Juan was holding. Instead, he looked at Xu Miaomiao in front of him with a smile and said, "I said, Wangjia Village is my land now. You have ruined my land. How are you going to compensate me?"
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, it was as if she had heard a loud laugh: "So, Mr. Wang is here to tell jokes today."
Xu Miaomiao laughed playfully and looked at the man in front of her.
Wang Bu Ren didn't take it seriously. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, what are you talking about? You have ruined my land, so you should compensate me. What? Do you want to turn your back on me?"
Xu Miaomiao spoke calmly, "It was Magistrate Hu who insisted that I buy the land, and it was Cripple Liu who scattered all the medicine on the land. Even if Lord Wang wants compensation, it shouldn't be on me."
Wang Bu Ren looked at him and said, "But you were the one who gave them the medicine. If it weren't for you, where would they get the medicine? If it weren't for you, how could the land be damaged? Xu Miaomiao, you are really a disaster. Since you have damaged the land, you just need to compensate me with money, and we can let this matter go. Otherwise, I don't know what I can do."
How could Wang Bu Ren look like someone who was short of money? He came here today just to give Xu Miaomiao a warning.
