One sentence was enough to sentence Zhang Cuiya to death.
Guajie never expected that he would fall into He Jiuniang's hands so easily.
Originally, she did want her family to scrape together some money to redeem her. Even if she couldn't enter the Lu family, she could marry Li San Niu. With the Li family around, her family's life wouldn't be too difficult, and their reputation would be better than in that kind of place. Her parents would definitely favor her after weighing the pros and cons.
But He Jiuniang's words blocked her path to survival, forcing her to spend the rest of her life in that filthy place.
No matter how devastated or frantic the Zhang family was, He Jiuniang turned and left, followed by Sun Shi and the others. It was the perfect time to go back and play mahjong.
It was worth coming out to watch the show. After witnessing He Jiu Niang's methods, everyone exclaimed how satisfying it was. They loved the twist!
Behind her came the cries of Zhang Lishi and Zhang Cuiya, as well as their pleas for help from the Li family. He Jiuniang pricked up her ears and heard Li's mother's reply: "Don't try to associate with my family. We have nothing to do with each other now!"
He Jiuniang nodded in satisfaction; she had passed the test with the Li family.
She took Sun's arm and said to Lu Guilan, "Little sister, after the New Year, arrange a managerial job for Aunt Li. Our workshop needs someone like that."
Li's mother has her own opinions and will not be easily swayed. She also has excellent management skills and is more than capable of being a minor manager.
Lu Guilan is currently in charge of everything in the workshop, so it's most appropriate for her to make the arrangements.
"Alright! By the way, Third Sister-in-law, what about the rest of the Li family?"
Lu Guilan also thought highly of Li's mother's abilities. After the New Year, she also wanted to try a different job. At this time, she needed to find capable people to replace her. She had already started looking for someone. Li's mother could start as a junior manager and could be promoted later depending on her abilities. As long as she was capable, there would be plenty of opportunities.
"The others can stay in their original positions for now. We'll observe them further before making any decisions. However, Uncle Li is a bit indecisive, so let's not promote him for now. His current position is the most suitable for him."
He Jiuniang understood clearly that if Li's father hadn't been so indecisive and reluctant to sever ties, the mother and daughter wouldn't have been so arrogant. They even came to their door, yet they still wouldn't break off the relationship. People like that are most likely to cause trouble.
"good!"
Lu Guilan readily agreed, and Madam Yu couldn't help but say, "Third sister-in-law, your move was really brilliant! You struck right at the heart of the matter, hitting the snake right on the head! This time, the Zhang family definitely won't be able to cause any trouble."
"Perhaps, this will cause trouble for the Li family for a while, but it will be a good opportunity for Uncle Li to see what kind of person his older sister is, so that he won't have to secretly subsidize her family anymore. We've done Aunt Li a great favor this time, and I think she'll remember this favor."
Back home, He Jiuniang was in a very good mood. The maids had already taken away the dishes and chopsticks to wash them, and a group of people gathered around the stove to warm themselves.
The men and children didn't go out to join the fun; they were all getting impatient, especially Old Man Lu, who kept asking how things had gone as soon as they returned.
Yu and Lu Guilan and the others then recounted the events in a flurry of voices, leaving the group of people frowning and puzzled at times, but thankfully they all applauded in the end!
"As expected, Third Sister-in-law is ruthless. I don't know where those Zhang mother and daughter got the guts to provoke Third Sister-in-law. Tsk tsk tsk, I'm worried for them!"
Lu Guilan couldn't help but click her tongue, and the others chimed in.
He Jiuniang quietly asked Lu Baichuan, "How was it? Wasn't I amazing?"
Lu Baichuan smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "I, your husband, concede defeat."
He Jiuniang raised her eyebrows smugly and threatened, "If any woman tries to get close to you in the future, I guarantee I'll have even more ruthless methods. You'd better not have any improper thoughts, or your fate will be worse than any other woman's."
If anyone else had said that, Lu Baichuan wouldn't have paid any attention, since he was quite confident in his abilities.
But the other party was his wife, so he really didn't dare not believe it. He knew his wife's abilities and had witnessed them with his own eyes. Moreover, the magical things in his wife's space could easily destroy the entire world.
Of course, he never had any other thoughts. After all, meeting his wife in this life was already a blessing he had earned eight lifetimes ago. He only hoped to be with his wife for a long, long time. How could he have any thoughts about other women?
Are there any other women as good as his wife?
He leaned close to He Jiuniang's ear and whispered, "In this life, I am yours in life and in death. Don't even think about getting rid of me."
"Hehehe, you like me that much?"
The two of them huddled together and whispered in each other's ears, which disgusted everyone around them.
These two are so lovey-dovey. I don't know what they talked about, but judging from their expressions, it's definitely not normal stuff.
Boss Lu reached out and patted Lu Baichuan on the shoulder, pointed to their room not far away, and said, "The door is over there. Go over there yourselves. Don't force us to take action."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone burst into laughter, looking at Lu Baichuan and his wife with teasing expressions.
During the time that Boss Lu spent learning the craft of goldsmithing, his tongue became much sharper, and now he can crack jokes without batting an eye.
Before everyone could finish laughing, Madam Sun slapped Lu the eldest on the head and yelled, "What nonsense are you spouting? There are so many kids watching! You're disrespectful to your elders! Go and set up the mahjong table for me, and brew a few more pots of tea!"
After the maids have washed and cleared the dishes, they are free to do as they please. They can go warm themselves by the fire or sleep if they want; the Lu family will take care of anything they need.
Yes, it's usually the men who do it.
Women, well, they're either playing mahjong or chatting, they're never idle.
Being ordered around by his mother, Lu Laoda didn't dare to argue and obediently went to do his work.
Qin, who was still in her postpartum confinement period, heard laughter coming from the next room and couldn't resist the urge to join in. She had Lu Lao Er wrap her up tightly and came over to join the fun. She happened to see them playing mahjong, and after watching a couple of rounds obediently next to Sun, she actually learned how to play.
Sun was still a bit inexperienced and sometimes didn't know how to play her cards, so Qin taught her.
That night, Mr. Sun won a lot of money.
"Second sister-in-law, I never knew you had such a talent! You're amazing!"
He Jiuniang was shocked. This was... the birth of the next generation of God of War?
"Yeah, it took us ages to learn, and you just watched and you got it right away, and you play so well! You made us lose so much money!"
"Everyone, please don't let my second brother's wife sit at the table anymore, or our wallets will be in trouble!"
"I think it's a good idea!"
Qin blushed slightly at the praise and said shyly, "I don't know why, I just felt that's how it should be played, hehe..."
He Jiuniang immediately said, "Second sister-in-law, after spring arrives and you're out of confinement, why don't you open a gambling den? I want to invest!"
"I'll vote too!"
"I also!"
Qin's eyes lit up. Could she really do it?
