Hearing Li Guogang's words, Zhang Qianwen was so angry she laughed:
"Look at your poor, pathetic appearance, are you obsessed with money?"
"You haven't done anything for me, yet you want money? What gives you the right?"
"Who do you think you are? Even if you did work for me and I didn't pay you, what can you do to me?"
"Say one more word, and I'll sue you for being a scoundrel, or else?"
"Now that we have those bastards like Chen Feng as examples, I don't think you're much better than them. You might as well go and stay with them!"
"Of course, now there's a powerful person here. If you dare to act like a hooligan towards me, it's easy for him to beat you up!"
Zhang Qianwen's words undoubtedly infuriated Li Guogang:
"Everyone saw it just now, and Wang Hongmei can vouch for me!"
"Is it because we're unwilling to help you? You're the one who's fooling us and playing games with us. That shows you have a problem with your thinking!"
"That's capitalist style! Since that's how it is, then we'll see. I'm going to the village secretary right now and tell him that you, this female educated youth, have problems with your ideological awareness!"
"You're really something, you've got some nerve, you're really something!"
"Besides, Luo Zhiqing has a sense of justice, unlike you, who just likes to tease others. You expect Luo Zhiqing to help you? What are you thinking?"
"I'm asking you, are you going to pay me now or not? If you don't, I'm reporting you right now!"
Zhang Qianwen was stunned by Li Guogang's words. Actually, she was a little nervous, but she was just angry. In her eyes, Wang Hongmei was just a little follower who could be bullied at will.
They actually dared to say this and that to her, and her spoiled princess temper flared up immediately. Two people she had paid to come and help her, and they still dared to say so much.
Those who work should act like employees; these two have completely gone astray.
But after hearing Li Guogang's words, and thinking about how he hadn't left a good impression on the village secretary and the brigade leader today, he realized that he hadn't made a good impression either.
Now she was in a bit of a predicament, caught in a dilemma.
As a result, seeing her hesitate, Li Guogang stretched out his hand:
"Give us the money! I don't care if you let us do the work or not, this was already agreed upon!"
"Alright then, you can help me clean the yard and the house, and I'll give you the money."
"Otherwise, no matter how much you plead, I won't give you a single penny!"
Upon hearing Zhang Qianwen's words, Li Guoqiang snorted coldly, and Wang Yumei's expression was no better.
He wasn't afraid that Zhang Qianwen wouldn't pay him; if she dared not pay, he would use his own methods to get it!
Unlike those rich kids, he didn't care about a dollar or two.
Although one yuan isn't much, in this rural area, he estimated it would be enough for him to eat for several days!
During this trip to the countryside, apart from some subsidies from the educated youth office, his family didn't help him at all, and even took a portion of his subsidy money.
He has many siblings, and this time when he went to the countryside, he almost didn't even get his subsidy back.
He thought about how others were born into honor and lived a life of luxury, while he was burdened by his family and now he was being humiliated by a capitalist's daughter. He felt extremely unbalanced.
So even if it's just a dollar, he'll hold onto it, no matter who the other person is, he just wants the money!
Anyone who tries to take his money will be his enemy!
This poor girl values money more than her life; Zhang Qianwen has really gotten herself into trouble this time.
Seeing the two men begin sweeping the yard with dark faces, Zhang Qianwen couldn't help but snort:
"Two peasants, daring to act tough in front of me, what kind of trash are you!"
Of course, she only muttered these words to herself in private. Li Guogang's fierce look just now had terrified her.
She lacked Luo Zixi's skills and courage, but she possessed the heart of a young lady from a wealthy family.
A girl as outstanding as her should be with a wealthy young master from Beijing like Gu Yancheng. Today, she must have been so travel-worn that her beauty was hidden beneath the dust, which is why Gu Yancheng didn't see it.
Once she's all dressed up and looks beautiful, she'll appear before Gu Yancheng tomorrow, beaming with pride, and she'll definitely outshine that Luo Zixi.
Isn't Luo Zixi just someone who looks like a fox spirit? Can she be as understanding as her? Can she be as charming and delicate as her?
Moreover, Luo Zixi is too rude. She hits people at the drop of a hat and has now earned a notorious reputation. Who would dare to marry a woman like that?
Did the man marry Luo Zixi because he wanted her to be his punching bag?
Luo Zixi may seem very strong, but in Zhang Qianwen's eyes she poses no threat at all. Instead, Shen Yuzhu is more dangerous.
That's a formidable competitor; she needs to be careful.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qianwen couldn't help but frown.
However, there was nothing in the courtyard, but there were many rooms, including quite a few with kang beds (heated brick beds).
But we don't even have any firewood, how can we possibly have a heated kang (traditional Chinese bed)?
There wasn't a single piece of furniture.
When the Bai family's property was confiscated, they were stripped bare, leaving them with absolutely nothing.
So, this place is only occasionally cleaned by someone, and it has been in disrepair for many years, so it is quite dilapidated.
Li Guogang and Wang Hongmei were cleaning the yard and tidying up Zhang Qianwen's room, respectively. There wasn't much to tidy up, just sweeping away the dust.
But the more the two cleaned, the more creepy it became, since the yard was so big that any sound they made would echo.
Living alone here late at night, it's really not something an average person could handle.
