Chapter 150 Chapter 150 Xiguan salty pancakes are crispy, fragrant and delicious...
Su Tianli was just about to squeeze through the crowd and go into her own yard to deal with things.
unexpectedly--
Someone called out "Litchi" softly.
Su Tianli turned around and saw that it was Xu Wenmei.
Xu Wenmei pulled Su Tianli aside and said, "Lizhi, don't go in now! Someone is making trouble in our house!"
Su Tianli pretended not to know what happened and asked, "Meimei, what happened?"
Xu Wenmei spoke eagerly, "There is a man named Zhang Wei. Do you know him?"
Su Tianli nodded.
Xu Wenmei asked again, "There is another woman named Mao Li. Do you know her too?"
Su Tianli nodded again.
Xu Wenmei, "Are they a couple?"
Su Tianli explained, "Yes, they have been together for a long time, but they are not married."
turn out to be--
This morning, after Cheng Yu sent Xu Wenmei to Shaou Street,
Soon everyone went about their own business.
Xu Wenmei asked everyone what she could do.
Ajuan thought that everyone had to go out to do physical work today (running errands, shopping, carrying heavy things, etc.)...
So Ajuan asked Xu Wenmei to stay at home and pack up things with Old Mrs. Su.
——The main thing is to sort and pack up the local specialties that my second uncle’s family brought from the countryside.
Xu Wenmei had heard from Cheng Yu that Old Lady Su was in poor health and could not do heavy work.
So Xu Wenmei didn't let Old Lady Su move. She just helped to pack and sort things, and then asked Old Lady Su where things could and could not be put in the house.
Then, Zhang Wei's family came.
Xu Wenmei didn't know Zhang Ma and Zhang Dasao, but when Zhang Ma and Zhang Dasao said they wanted to find Su Tianli,
So Xu Wenmei told Su Tianli, "...I said Lizhi is not here."
"They said they were looking for Mao Li, but Mao Li wasn't there either..."
"They changed their words again and said they wanted to look for Zhang Wei. I said Zhang Wei wasn't there either!"
"At that time, it was just me and your grandma, so I asked, 'What do you want to do with lychees?' Then the two of them started talking about a lot of things..."
"I just found out that they are Zhang Wei's mother and sister-in-law."
"But I don't understand what they are talking about specifically."
"It sounds like - they are very poor and short of money..."
Xu Wenmei is a Beijing girl with a straightforward personality.
She said to Su Tianli, "At first I was wondering if you, Lizhi, owed them money, so they kept repeating the same old things over and over again."
"Then I thought about it and I felt that something was not right."
"First, you already have enough money to start a company, so why do you still owe people money? Second, I haven't heard Cheng Yu say that you two owe anyone money!"
So Xu Wenmei asked Zhang Ma and Zhang Dasao directly, "Aunt, Dasao, you have no money... Why are you looking for Lizhi? Does Lizhi owe you money?"
Zhang Ma was a little embarrassed, "That's not the case..."
Mrs. Zhang was also a little embarrassed. "No, no, no, that's not the case."
Xu Wenmei asked again, "Does Lizhi owe Zhang Wei money?"
Aunt Zhang: "Neither do I."
Mrs. Zhang: "Not really..."
Xu Wenmei was even more confused. "Since Lizhi doesn't owe you money, nor does she owe Zhang Wei money, then why did you come to Lizhi?"
"Why don't you leave a message and I'll tell Lizhi or Zhang Wei for you. When they come back, I'll ask Zhang Wei to come back to find you?"
Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other, but were still hesitant and reluctant to leave.
Xu Wenmei was unhappy.
——Because she is sorting out local specialties!
There were all kinds of cured meats, cured sausages, cured fish, and even half a piece of... I couldn't tell whether it was cured lamb or cured roe deer.
There were also sacks of mushrooms and bamboo shoots, bundles of vermicelli, various dried vegetables whose names I couldn't tell, and strings of garlic bulbs...
There are so many things!
Xu Wenmei knew the principle of "not showing off your wealth" and understood the greedy look in Zhang Ma's and Zhang Dasao's eyes as they stared at these local specialties.
So she started to chase them away, "Okay, okay, Lizhi isn't home, Zhang Wei isn't home, Mao Li isn't home either... Then please come back later, okay?"
"We are busy here and don't have time to greet you!"
"that……"
"Have a nice trip, I won't see you off!"
What Xu Wenmei never expected was that
She drove the guests away like this -
Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other again.
It was as if they had read some signal from each other's eyes.
Zhang Ma suddenly sat down on the ground.
Mrs. Zhang knelt down beside Aunt Zhang.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to cry out loudly as if no one was around:
"Oh, God, oh, earth! We can't live like this any longer!"
"Other people's children are filial, and their lives are getting better and better... I'm not that lucky. The children I raised are all ungrateful! They know that the family is short of money, but they still want to be ungrateful!"
"This is so ignorant! This is going to piss me off to death!"
"Mom! Mom, don't do this!"
"Don't say that on New Year's Day..."
"This family still needs you to be at the helm! If anything happens to you, what will we do?"
"Mom! Mom, don't be angry. Wait until Su Lizhi comes back... talk to her properly!"
The Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law performed a deep love story here.
Xu Wenmei rarely saw such a scene.
So Xu Wenmei pulled Old Lady Su aside and asked her if she knew why Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhang came here.
Old Mrs. Su was a timid person. She was very frightened and kept shaking her head and saying she didn't know.
Xu Wenmei thought about it and felt that since Old Mrs. Su was in poor health, she couldn’t stay at home any longer. It would be bad if she got scared by the Zhang family and became ill.
So Xu Wenmei quickly helped Old Mrs. Su leave home, and did not forget to lock the gate of the house.
Xu Wenmei sent Old Lady Su to the guard room of the Coal Bureau’s family compound, then hurried back. Unexpectedly, she saw Su Tianli standing outside the crowd!
After hearing what Xu Wenmei said, Su Tianli suddenly realized.
"The Zhang family's affairs have nothing to do with me," Su Tianli comforted Xu Wenmei, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it right away."
As she spoke, Su Tianli was about to step forward.
Someone called her again, "Lychee!"
Su Tianli looked back and realized that the people coming were Mao Li and A Juan.
They were carrying a lot of things on their backs and shoulders.
——It looks like some ingredients they bought today.
Su Tianli looked towards her own courtyard again and saw that the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were surrounded tightly. They could not see the situation outside at all, so naturally they did not know that Mao Li had returned.
Su Tianli quickly waved her hand and pulled Mao Li and A Juan over. She first told them about the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming to cause trouble, and then she told them the details of the conversation between Cheng Yu and Zhang Wei yesterday.
Mao Li opened her mouth in confusion.
Su Tianli said softly, "I'm sorry, Mao Li. I guess Zhang Wei listened to Cheng Yu's advice and really went back to tell his family that he had no money, or that you helped to pay for all his money, so his mother and sister-in-law came to trouble you."
Mao Li smiled weakly, "Lizhi, you don't have to apologize to me."
"You and Cheng Yu are both on my side, how could I blame you?"
"I, I can't thank you enough!"
"They came at the perfect time today," Mao Li said with a determined look in her eyes, "... Let them put an end to the relationship between me and Zhang Wei!"
As she spoke, Mao Li turned to look at A Juan, "A Juan, you know where I live, right?"
A Juan looked at Su Tianli anxiously, and when she saw Su Tianli nodded slightly at her, A Juan nodded at Mao Li and replied in a small voice, "I know."
Mao Li said: "Then please run an errand for me, go to my house to find my mother and sister-in-law, and tell them that Zhang Wei's mother and sister-in-law are forcing me to pay..."
Then Mao Li told Ajuan something like this.
Ajuan opened her eyes wide and looked at Su Tianli as if asking for help.
Su Tianli nodded again.
Ah Juan then said, "Okay, Sister Mao Li, I'll go right away..."
Mao Li urged her, "Hurry!"
Ajuan ran outside quickly.
Mao Li said to Xu Wenmei: "Meimei, please help me look after these things."
As she spoke, she pointed to the things spread all over the floor that she and Ajuan had just carried back from outside.
Xu Wenmei nodded.
Mao Li and Su Tianli looked at each other.
The two smiled at each other and squeezed towards the crowd.
"Everyone! Please make way! Please make way... I am Lizhi, please make way..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene, which had been noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.
A sharp voice rang out, "What? Are you Su Lizhi?"
Soon, a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law squeezed through the crowd and rushed over from the other side.
Su Tianli didn't know them, but she could tell from the age and dress of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that they should be Zhang Wei's mother and sister-in-law.
Of course, Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Zhang didn’t know Su Tianli, but they knew Mao Li.
Although they saw Mao Li at this moment, Su Tianli's outstanding temperament still attracted most of their attention.
Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other, and the sadness on their faces disappeared immediately, replaced by a flattering and ingratiating expression.
The two of them rushed over, pushed Mao Li aside, and one of them held Su Tianli's left hand, saying with a smile: "So you are Lizhi! Oh, how come you are so beautiful!"
The other person took Su Tianli's right hand and said affectionately: "Lizhi, you have worked hard these days..."
Su Tianli: ???
Mao Li, who was pushed aside by the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and almost fell, was supported by Xu Wenmei.
Xu Wenmei looked in surprise at the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were fawning over Su Tianli, and then looked at Mao Li who almost fell down...
She looked surprised and confused.
Perhaps Xu Wenmei's expression was too vivid.
This made Mao Li burst out laughing.
Xu Wenmei asked Mao Li in a low voice, embarrassed, "Aren't they... coming to see you?"
Mao Li also replied in a low voice, "They are here to find the richest man."
Xu Wenmei: ???
Mao Li lowered her voice, "Didn't you listen to what Lizhi said just now? Cheng Yu taught Zhang Wei how to deal with his family... I guess Zhang Wei listened to his advice and actually went to tell his family."
"But we don't know what he said specifically, so we just assume that he followed Cheng Yu's instructions, either saying that he had no money, or that all his money was mine..."
"But Meimei, think about it, in the eyes of his family, who is richer, me or Lizhi?"
Although Mao Li lowered her voice, her attitude was very open and generous.
Xu Wenmei was stunned for a moment, then she understood - the Zhang family wanted to bypass Mao Li and directly cling to Su Tianli?
But soon, Xu Wenmei felt something was wrong.
She asked Mao Li, "How do they want to hold Lizhi's thighs?"
"Could it be that——"
At this point, Xu Wenmei showed an incredible expression.
Mao Li was stunned for a moment, and then understood the implication of Xu Wenmei's words.
She smiled, "No! It's not what you think... They don't want to pair Lizhi and Zhang Wei together."
"Because they don't even like Zhang Wei!"
"Now they just want to get on good terms with Litchi and see if they can take advantage of her later."
"Let's take a step back and say that even if they want to arrange a marriage, they will only introduce Lizhi, the 'little fat sheep', to their confidants..."
"In their hearts, Zhang Wei is nothing."
"In their minds, this kind of 'good thing' is not even Zhang Wei's turn."
Xu Wenmei was stunned.
After a while, she said to Mao Li sincerely: "You are so clear-headed and insightful..."
Mao Li did not hide it from her and smiled bitterly, "But the price of this clarity and insight is so high."
Xu Wenmei patted Mao Li's hand and said, "We are still young! When we are young, we have the confidence to make mistakes."
"Isn't it just breaking up with a stinky man? First, you won't go to jail, and second, your life is not in danger... What's the big deal!"
"□□ said, 'We need to actively learn from failure', and he also said, 'People always achieve self-salvation through pain'..."
"Mao Li, we will listen to you! You will definitely not be wrong!"
Mao Li nodded vigorously with red eyes.
On the other hand, Su Tianli was attacked from both sides by Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and was forced to listen to a lot of flattery.
Of course, after the initial discomfort disappeared, Su Tianli also understood the intentions of the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
She didn't say anything, but just watched the performance between the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a smile.
The Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept praising each other, but they felt bored.
Su Tianli asked knowingly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The Zhang family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other.
Aunt Zhang winked at her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Zhang smiled carefully and said to Su Tianli, "Lizhi, it's like this...my family is also short of money recently. Can you please give us some leniency...and return our money to us?"
Su Tianli thought to herself, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family are quite scheming!
——In front of so many people, deliberately speaking in such a humble manner and saying such ambiguous words, wasn't it just to win the sympathy of the onlookers!
So Su Tianli said gently and considerately, "Mrs. Zhang, has something happened at home that can't be solved recently?"
"Tell me about it now!!"
"It's Chinese New Year now, and it's not even the 15th yet, how come such a big thing happened?"
"It's okay, don't worry... After all, it's not even the 15th yet, and every household has some money."
"Hurry up and tell us what you have to say. We will ask everyone to help us out. Those who have money can give money, and those who have strength can give strength."
The reason why Su Tianli said this is,
It’s because Mrs. Zhang started playing the victim without saying anything. Isn’t this morally blackmailing Su Tianli?
In this case,
Then Su Tianli can also use moral blackmail on the bystanders.
really--
Su Tianli said this,
The expressions of the onlookers changed immediately.
How to put it, most of them knew that Su Tianli had opened a company, and they had a subtle attitude towards Su Tianli, both envious and jealous.
So when the Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to cause trouble,
They came with the intention of eating spectators and watching the fun.
But now,
Su Tianli actually wanted to drag them into this, and even said something like "those who have money will contribute money, and those who have strength will contribute strength"...
Why?
These days every family is not wealthy, and they don’t even know the Zhang family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so why should they give money and effort to them?
Suddenly, the onlookers looked at Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with something strange in their eyes.
Mrs. Zhang didn't realize anything was wrong for a while.
So she followed the plan she had made with her mother-in-law and continued, "Hey, there's no need to be so troublesome. As long as you... return our Zhang Wei's money, it will be fine!"
Su Tianli was surprised, "Zhang Wei's money?"
"Zhang Wei...what money?" Su Tianli acted puzzled.
Mrs. Zhang was still playing with abstract ideas, "It's the money our Zhang Wei gave you!"
"When did Zhang Wei give me money?" Su Tianli's expression gradually became serious.
Mrs. Zhang was a little impatient, "Lizhi, you should stop while you are ahead!"
"Our Zhang Wei said, didn't you open a company? He also has a share in your company!"
"But right now, our family is in trouble... We can't even make ends meet, how can we care about this shell company? I advise you to return all of Zhang Wei's money as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, we won't be polite!"
Su Tianli pretended to be enlightened, "Oh——"
Mrs. Zhang said quickly, "How is it? Do you understand now? Return the money to us!"
"Of course, we don't want to ruin your relationship with Zhang Wei."
"Even if we get the money back, Zhang Wei can still work with you!"
"Just pay him his salary!"
"But Zhang Wei's salary has to be collected directly by my mother-in-law (Cantonese: mother-in-law)."
"After all, Zhang Wei is a member of our family, so it is only natural for him to support the family!"
After hearing what Mrs. Zhang said, the onlookers all showed contemptuous expressions.
Su Tianli smiled, "Of course I don't understand!"
"First of all, when did Zhang Wei give me money? Mrs. Zhang, please produce evidence - including how much money did he give me? What day did it happen? Where is the receipt? Where is the witness!"
"Secondly, I can't possibly give Zhang Wei's salary to his mother! If you guys insist on making a fuss, let Zhang Wei handle it. Zhang Wei agreed, so of course I have no objection. Otherwise, just because you guys are here and yelling, I will give you Zhang Wei's salary... Then doesn't that mean Zhang Wei will also go to your workplace to collect your salary on your behalf?"
"Finally, let Zhang Wei come and talk to me about this matter."
The onlookers all nodded.
Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Zhang exchanged glances and both felt that Su Tianli was a tough nut to crack.
So Zhang's mother stepped in and said, "Hey Lizhi, please talk to me nicely. You are so young, why are you so angry?"
Su Tianli smiled, "Mrs. Zhang, you should save this for me to say - you are old, and Mrs. Zhang is also older than me. How can you bully a young person like me just because you are old?"
Aunt Zhang was stunned.
In the cooperation between her and her daughter-in-law, her daughter-in-law always played the good guy and she played the bad guy.
But today, in the fight with Su Tianli,
This method of winning every battle...
It seems to be useless?!
Why is Su Tianli like this? She refuses to accept anything, no matter how soft or hard she tries?
Aunt Zhang said weakly, "Lizhi, if you say that, I have no way to defend myself..."
Mrs. Zhang understood and immediately supported Zhang Ma, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell again?"
Then Mrs. Zhang frowned and looked at Su Tianli, "Lizhi, my mother-in-law is in poor health. Can you, a young man, bully an old lady just because you are strong and healthy?"
Su Tianli asked back, "Auntie Zhang, Auntie Zhang, please take a closer look..."
"You're the ones standing at my door!"
"You're the ones who stopped me and asked for money. You wouldn't let me go home if I didn't give you money!"
"It's not like I went to your house and stopped you to ask for money. If you don't give it to me, I won't let you go home!"
"How can this be said that I am relying on my youth to bully you?"
"It's obvious that you are taking advantage of your age to come to my house and bully a young man like me!"
For a moment, the onlookers couldn't help but chatter:
"That's right. They've already come to your door... but you're still pretending to be bullied! You're really a hypocrite."
"Yes, yes, yes. Regardless of whether it's about money or not, we don't know the truth, but the Zhang family is acting like the thief crying thief... I'm on Lizhi's side!"
"I'm not saying I'm xenophobic! I don't know the Zhang family, and Lizhi isn't from our unit, but I want to be fair - Lizhi is still right!"
"This is the first time I've seen such a shameless person! But I heard that the Zhang family is not from the countryside, they also have a unit... Which unit is so arrogant?"
…
The discussions of the crowd made Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Zhang's faces turn green and red.
Since they became famous,
I have never suffered such a big loss!
They stared at Su Tianli hatefully, unable to control their temper.
The Zhang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put all their efforts into a fight to the death with Su Tianli.
"Su Lizhi! I think you are not going to accept my offer, right?" Mrs. Zhang rolled up her sleeves and waved her fist angrily, "I'm telling you! You must hand over the money Zhang Wei gave you today!"
"Otherwise, you are forcing our family to die!"
"Since you would rather kill me than hand over the money, then we will..."
Mrs. Zhang said bitterly: "...then we will die in front of you!!!"
At this moment, Zhang Wei's surprised voice rang out, "Mom! Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
