"Now you all listen to what Mrs. Deng said and come here to spread rumors about Wenjuan. We, the uncles and aunts, have watched the child grow up since she was young. Don't we know what kind of person she is? Do you really want to force her to death?" Zhao Maosheng also followed up.
"Well, since Zeng Wenjuan is making money, shouldn't she give this month's pension to my parents-in-law first? Our family is in such a difficult situation now. It's okay if we don't have enough food, but what if these two old people don't want to eat?" When Zhou Li heard that Zeng Wenjuan was rich, she immediately wanted to get the money so that she could buy some snacks.
"Everyone in the village knows that my husband always sends his allowance back home. Goudan and I are both skinny and pale. We do the most work outside, but eat the least. I don't know why my parents can't afford to eat now." Having said this, Zeng Wenjuan paused for a moment, mainly because she wanted to let people gossip a little.
"Yes! Wenjuan and Goudan were so skinny back then. But Zhou Li didn't seem to do any work at home, so she got so fat. She must have eaten well. Now she's blaming everything on Wenjuan."
"If they are not my biological children, then I am biased! But I do need to repay the kindness I showed to Wenjuan and Jianguo. This is all karma!"
Listening to the conversations, Zeng Wenjuan smiled faintly, "No matter why my parents can't eat, I made 131 yuan this time, and half of it belongs to Zhao Hongtiao. I also bought some household expenses. This month I will pay 20 yuan for the pension, and there will be 1,780 yuan left. We'd better write this matter in the division document."
Zhao Maosheng nodded and agreed: "Let's do it this way. Huzi, go to the village brigade and get the documents for the division of the family property. We will fill it out. It just so happens that everyone is watching!"
Ms. Deng was a little unhappy. She clearly earned more than 100 yuan, so why did she only pay 20 yuan for her retirement? Just as she was about to stand up and scold Zeng Wenjuan, she was stopped by Zhou Li.
"Mom, Zeng Wenjuan can make so much money, so we can follow her and learn from her secretly, then the way to make money will be ours. We can also let Zeng Wenjuan help us deal with it, then we can let her go home and live there." Zhou Li seemed to be giving Zeng Wenjuan a great gift.
Soon, Zhao Hu brought the documents for the division of the family property and gave them to Zhao Maosheng: "Dad, this is for you."
Zhao Maosheng took the things and said to Zeng Wenjuan, "Take out the money now. I'll count it and give it to the Zhao family. The amount must be correct."
Zeng Wenjuan also took out a handful of banknotes from her pocket and began to count them: one cent, two cents, one dollar, two dollars, ten dollars, twenty dollars. After confirming that everything was correct, Zeng Wenjuan gave the money to the village chief: "Uncle village chief, please count it and see if you have made any mistakes."
Zhao Maosheng took the money and counted it again in front of everyone, then gave it to Ms. Deng: "Mrs. Deng, I'll pay you 20 yuan for your retirement this month. Count it and sign and put your fingerprints here if no one asks."
Ms. Deng excitedly took the money and counted it again. The village chief and Zeng Wenjuan had already counted it, but neither of them would be happy to count the money.
"That's right, this is twenty yuan. You have to pay me one hundred yuan every month. When you pay it off, I will care where you go." Ms. Deng said with a smile as she pressed her fingerprint on the document of division of the property.
Zhao Maosheng didn't pay much attention to Ms. Deng, but called out, "Huzi, go to the Zhao family and call Zhao Maohua and Zhao Zhaocai. I want to see what's going on. We clearly agreed on the term, so why are they suddenly urging us?"
Zhao Hu responded and ran quickly to Zhao's house and called Zhao Maohua and Zhao Zhaocai.
"Old Zhao, your wife comes to ask for pension money just when Wenjuan's life is getting better. Is your life really so difficult? If so, I will arrange for your family to go and reclaim wasteland tomorrow." Zhao Maosheng said with a cold face.
After hearing what the village chief said, Zhao Maohua immediately yelled at Ms. Deng with a dark face: "What are you talking about outside all day? Go home and cook."
The village chief looked at Zhao Maohua and laughed, saying, "Since it's not that difficult, let's wait until Wenjuan has money. I gave her twenty yuan today. You put your fingerprints on it." Then he took out the document for dividing the family.
Zhao Maohua and Zhao Zhaocai could only press their fingerprints on it, and then said with a smile: "Village Chief, I'm sorry! I will go back and take care of my wife."
"That'd better be the case. If it happens again, don't blame me for being rude. This is my old house. I thought you were going to tear it down!" The village chief said coldly to the people standing there.
Everyone was at a loss for words. Although they were here to watch the fun, this was indeed the village chief's home. After watching the fun, everyone went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers.
After everyone left, Yuan Yujuan stood up and said, "Wenjuan girl, if you have any problems in the future, just tell your aunt. Your aunt will ask your uncle to support you."
"Thank you, Auntie." Zeng Wenjuan smiled and thanked. She looked at the village chief and said, "Uncle village chief, I can make money today! It's because I know that the pharmacy is collecting medicinal materials and I know how to deal with them. I am willing to tell the villagers that those are what the pharmacy will collect. I can also teach everyone how to prepare them."
"That's great. If you have any other requests, just tell me. You know that every household is having a hard time now. If there is a way to make money and someone can marry into our village, no one will starve to death." The village chief said earnestly. As the village chief, he also has to consider the villagers.
Zeng Wenjuan then said, "I grew up in the village and have some feelings for it. My uncles and aunts are all very good to me. I am happy to see that Jimao can live a better life. But some people are not nice to me, and I don't want to be taken advantage of."
The village chief thought about it carefully. He didn't want to bring the Zhao family and those who were close to them. The village chief could understand it. He nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you are willing to help everyone make money, let me do it."
"Thank you, uncle village chief." Zeng Wenjuan smiled and sent the village chief and his family out. Just as she turned around to close the door and go into the house to cook, she heard Zhao Hongtiao's voice behind her.
"Wenjuan, are you okay? I was working in the vegetable garden today. When my brother came home, I heard from my brothers and sisters that they didn't bully you!"
Zeng Wenjuan pulled Zhao Hongtiao into the house and said to her with a smile, "It's nothing. The village chief and his men are on my side and helping me! Come in with me."
As soon as she entered the house, Zeng Wenjuan took out a sixty-five-and-a-half yuan note and stuffed it into Zhao Hongtiao's pocket: "I took all the herbs to the county town to sell today. This money is yours."
