The candidate has been chosen, but Old Mrs. Chen is not satisfied. She feels that Chen Ahua is qualified to be selected!
The reason is that her granddaughter has been helping the Mo family with chores every day recently, and the Mo family treats her granddaughter very well. Since they have such a good relationship, they should also help the Chen family. Therefore, the Mo family should include Chen Ahua in the list of candidates!
They were all ready, thinking about making a big splash, earning lots of money, shedding the label of being poor, and joining the ranks of the wealthy in the village!
But now the Mo family doesn't even have Chen Ahua's name on their records. How are they going to get in? The plan can't go on at all!
That won't do!
She disagrees!
Her granddaughter's name must be added so that her granddaughter can participate in the program and earn money!
Everyone else found it hilarious. Who did this old woman think she was, trying to join in whenever she wanted? What was her family like back then?
Everyone present was there to make money; who didn't want to make money? But opportunities were limited. The Mo family had said beforehand that not everyone would have a chance; they would select the best candidates!
What is meritocracy? It means that whoever performs best gets the opportunity first!
Besides, doesn't this old woman have any self-awareness? She came to their house to cause trouble before, trying to drive the Mo family away. How could they possibly give her a chance? She has no connection with the Mo family at all, yet she comes up here and asks for a spot as if it's her right. What a pipe dream!
Ignoring the pointing fingers and whispers of the crowd, Old Mrs. Chen asked Su Nanxi to change his mind and add more spots, including Chen Ahua.
Su Nanxi really didn't want to see that ugly face. It was so hideous. Don't think she didn't know what this old woman was up to. Did she really think she was a fool?
"Am I the one teaching or are you? If you're the one teaching, that's easy, you name who it is, and I won't say a word more! But please make this clear! I'm the one teaching! So the ownership is in my hands, and whoever I say can teach, can teach! Sorry to those who weren't called, keep trying! Also, go back and reflect on why you weren't chosen!"
Su Nanxi spoke coldly, but her aura left no room for argument.
Old Mrs. Chen, however, felt that she was right. All the people Su Nanxi chose had a good relationship with the Mo family, so her Chen Ahua should also have a chance!
Su Nanxi almost laughed when she heard this. Her relationship with Chen Ahua was far from that of sisters; at most, they were just acquaintances. She rarely interacted with Chen Ahua because they were both very busy!
Besides, this was her decision, so why should an insignificant person have the right to interfere?
Where did this old woman get such a big face!
Shameless!
Su Nanxi was too lazy to talk to this kind of person, so she turned to the others and said, "Wealth is always in the hands of a few. If you want opportunities, you have to work hard to seize them! No one will rush to give you wealth. Even if it is offered to you, you won't be able to accept it or cherish it! Just like last time, my original intention was to help you all, but unfortunately, you don't need my help. You're trying to crush the Mo family and drive them away! So choose those who need it first and get rich! Those who get opportunities shouldn't be complacent. People who are too easily arrogant and complacent can't stand it and won't achieve much!"
Those present nodded in agreement. Many felt that Su Nanxi's words made sense. They hadn't gotten the opportunity because they hadn't worked hard enough or performed well enough. They needed to reflect on what they had done wrong, correct it, and work hard to get the opportunity next time!
Of course, some people didn't hear this and thought it was just a casual remark from Su Nanxi. There was nothing to improve. If it didn't work this time, it should work next time! If it still didn't work, after a few more times, after everyone in the village had their turn, he would have another chance!
Little did they know, Su Nanxi only helped the people in front of her up first, and then simply abandoned the rest and ignored them!
She doesn't have that much time and energy to get people up, no matter how hard they try. Whether they get up or not is none of her business!
That's just how the world is. If you don't believe, then you're not meant to be. For those who aren't meant to be, you're just strangers who won't have any further interaction, so why bother with them?
She is not a savior, and she has no obligation to help the poor!
She was only thinking about helping some people get back on their feet. She needed support, and it would be best if she could improve the overall quality of life in the village. If not, she would just help a few people so that the Mo family wouldn't stand out too much.
Old Mrs. Chen wouldn't give up, insisting that Su Nanxi add more Chen Ahua. Su Nanxi didn't even glance at her again, and turned away directly.
"Hey?! How could you do this, you ugly woman? My Ah Hua helps you with chores every day without asking for a single penny, and you won't even give her a chance? Are you even human?" Old Mrs. Chen yelled at Su Nanxi.
Xiao Wu, following behind, got angry and turned back, retorting rudely, "You shameless old woman! Who are you calling ugly! The ugliest one is you, you shameless old woman who doesn't leave any good karma for your descendants! Your face, which turns black into white, is utterly disgusting! Your granddaughter owes our Mo family five hundred coins, and she said she would work to pay off the debt because she couldn't pay it back! What, in your mouth, it's working for free? You shameless bastard! If you don't want to work, fine, pay back the money! We kindly helped lend money, and now you've made such a fuss!"
The crowd was in an uproar; so that's what happened.
Chen Ahua squeezed in, "It's because I owe money and can't pay it back that I offered to work to pay it off. The Mo family definitely won't give me any money! The Mo family is very kind; they even gave me a bowl of sweet soup so I wouldn't be too thirsty or hungry!"
This is outrageous! Chen Ahua's words are a slap in the face to Old Lady Chen. Old Lady Chen's face is contorted with rage. This useless brat is a traitor, speaking up for outsiders instead of saying a word for her own grandmother!
What's the point of keeping it?
Chen Ahua didn't care. She would never let Su Su Meng be unjustly accused. She didn't know any milk or anything like that. She only knew an old woman who was exploiting her!
Upon hearing this, everyone naturally believed Su Nanxi. The Mo family wasn't short of money; they might need help with the work, but there were plenty of people in the village. If they asked for help, the streets would be packed! They didn't need to find a young girl!
If the Chen family hadn't been unable to repay their debts, the Mo family probably wouldn't have bothered with these people at all!
They're all from the same village, don't think they don't know what's going on with the Chen family!
Hmph! They just don't want to talk about it!
Nothing major happened, but those disgusting little things just kept happening!
We're all from the same village, and talking too much can hurt our feelings. We don't really want to keep arguing, otherwise we'd be fighting every day!
No one listened to Old Mrs. Chen's explanation; everyone went about their business!
Old Mrs. Chen felt she had been seriously hurt. Her pride got the better of her, and in a fit of anger, she dragged Chen Ahua back home.
Upon seeing their mother-in-law return, the two sisters-in-law of the Chen family assumed that things had been settled and happily went to greet her.
"Mother, why do you look so pale? Did it not work out?"
