Chapter 424: Tooth for tooth
Yes, Zhou Daya did nothing at all, but Zhao Ziping framed her for colluding with him. The people of Zhaojiazhuang could do such unscrupulous words, so why couldn't Enjizhuang just make up stories? They
can only let others do bad things to harm others, but they can't let good people use some tricks to protect themselves. This is unacceptable.
What they are doing is just tit for tat!
The people of Zhaojiazhuang did such a dark thing, so they couldn't blame others for turning around and being rude to them! Zhuang Jingye figured this out, and he suddenly became excited. He slapped himself on the forehead, "Oh, my pig brain is full of paste, and I can't figure this out."
"Don't worry about it. I won't delay any longer. I'll go into the city right now."
Have a good talk with Ding Gaochang about this.
After saying that, he didn't bother to say anything else to Zhuang Qingning, he just turned around and left.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Zhuang Yonghe and others asked the people in the tofu workshop to go back to work.
Suddenly, only Zhuang Sifu and Zhuang Qingning were left.
"Sister Ning..." Zhuang Sifu's legs softened and he fell to his knees. "It's my fault for making Sister Ning worry..."
This time, when she fought with the people from Zhaojiazhuang, she made enemies. Zhuang Qingning was a businessman who ran a workshop, so it was not appropriate for her to make enemies, but she did it anyway.
Zhuang Sifu felt that he was really causing trouble for Zhuang Qingning.
"It's said that a man's knees are made of gold. Brother Sifu's knees can't be too soft." Zhuang Qingning helped Zhuang Sifu up. "It would be a lie to say that this was not done for you. Besides, it was also partly for Sister Zhou."
"You and Sister Zhou are both workers in my workshop. You have been bullied by others. If I, as the shopkeeper, don't come forward to vent your anger, what would that be?"
"To be honest, part of it is also for my workshop."
"Zhao Ziping is a scoundrel with an insatiable heart. Besides targeting Sister Zhou, he might also target my workshop. Sister Zhou's incident might just be a test. If he finds that I am a soft persimmon, he will want to squeeze me."
"I just let them know that even if they are persimmons, they are frozen persimmons. One bite of them will break your teeth, and one hit will kill you. This will teach them a lesson and stop thinking about things they shouldn't think about."
"This is the case now, Brother Sifu, don't think too much about it. Just come with me to see Sister Zhou."
These two days, Wen couldn't resist Zhuang Yutian's persuasion and went to live in the county town for a few days. She was not at home during these days, and only Han was at home. I'm afraid she was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
"Yeah." Zhuang Sifu knew that it was useless to say more at this moment. He wiped his eyes and followed Zhuang Qingning to Wen's house.
The people in the workshop also heard what Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Sifu said just now.
When they heard the words, "If the shopkeeper doesn't let you vent your anger, then what will happen?", they all looked at each other.
Many of the people working in the workshop at this time were people who had previously worked for others outside.
What is it like to work outside? You have to do all the dirty and tiring work, and when you get paid, they say why should they care about this or that. But if something happens, they will push you out immediately, and push you out cleanly, for fear that you will implicate them.
Zhuang Qingning did not push them away, but instead fought hard and gave Zhuang Sifu and Zhou Daya a lot of support.
What does this mean?
This means that if they encounter any problems in the future, Zhuang Qingning will also protect them!
The people working in the workshop have a stronger sense of trust in Zhuang Qingning, and they are thinking that if the people from Zhaojiazhuang come to cause trouble again, they must perform better.
Here, Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Sifu arrived at Wen's house together.
Han was carrying some water and walking into the house. When she saw Zhuang Qingning coming over, her eyes suddenly turned red. "Ning girl, you're here."
"Where's Sister Zhou? Is she awake?" Zhuang Qingning asked.
"He just woke up for a while, and started crying as soon as he woke up. He cried so hard that he was out of breath. No matter how we persuaded him, he wouldn't listen. After crying for a while, he must have gotten too tired and fell asleep again."
Han was so distressed that she kept crying, "This matter has caused so much trouble. It's really a sin to be involved in such a thing for no reason."
"In the past, people said that her horoscope was compatible with water ghosts, and that they wanted to make her the water ghost's bride. So many people in the village wanted Daya to die, but she never tried to commit suicide. Why is she..."
Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips immediately.
It was because of the despair I experienced that I gritted my teeth and persevered at the time, but the more I thought about it afterwards, the more desperate I became, and the more scared I became. This caused a huge shadow and fear in my heart about this kind of thing. Some of this fear will slowly fade with the passage of time, while others will only gradually increase.
Zhou Daya was obviously the latter. Having escaped death once, she was extremely afraid of this matter. When she thought about what she would face in the future, she was filled with despair.
Women living in this era had their backbones broken by the class system of the time. We cannot expect them to face it as bravely as modern women.
Zhuang Qingning sighed and advised, "Don't be sad, Aunt Han. I'll go see Sister Zhou."
"Hey." Han responded, went to get a cup and poured a cup of tea for Zhuang Qingning.
Zhuang Qingning was sitting beside the bed. Zhou Daya was still asleep, but her brows were furrowed, her face was covered with tear marks, and she was shaking from time to time. It was obvious that she was not sleeping well.
"Sister Zhou, Sister Zhou." Zhuang Qingning called out in a low voice.
Zhou Daya woke up with a start, opened her eyes, and saw Zhuang Qingning. As if she had found her backbone, she sat up and threw herself into her arms, "Sister Ning."
The tears then flowed down, and the whole person was sobbing and could no longer speak.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Zhou. I have a way to deal with the matter in Zhaojiazhuang." Zhuang Qingning patted Zhou Daya on the back and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Don't worry."
"Besides, this wasn't your fault in the first place, so you don't have to be sad. The one who should hide away is the one who did something wrong."
"If you are heartbroken and commit suicide because of such a thing, wouldn't that make Aunt Han sad and the people close to her sad?"
"I know what Sister Zhou is afraid of, but let me be frank. Even if Sister Zhou is gone now and becomes a cold corpse, those black-hearted people and gossipers will still throw dirty water on Sister, and they will do it even harder and more fiercely because you can't speak."
Ah, the damn training. I have to train for a whole day tomorrow, and it’s in another city. I’m so depressed…
