He may have made mistakes before, but we can't deny him a chance to correct them.
This kid's recent dedication is truly admirable. Moreover, he even buys things for Lu Fugui's youngest son after making money, which is somewhat of an apology.
He Jiuniang did not personally experience these things and will not comment on them.
She was only looking at the present. Lu Xiaoyang had already gone through life and death with Zhang Song. If he continued like this, He Jiuniang wouldn't mind training him properly.
Just as they finished treating their injuries, Lu Guilan came in with a basin of hot water. He Jiuniang stepped aside and whispered, "You're here just in time. They still have some blood on them. Could you help clean them up?"
Lu Guilan nodded with red eyes and asked, "Third Sister-in-law, Tiger's father..."
"It's okay, don't worry, it'll be fine in a few days."
Upon receiving this assurance, Lu Guilan's eyes reddened again. He Jiuniang, who dreaded seeing them cry, said, "Alright, alright, it's nothing serious. You quickly help them clean up. I'll handle the rest. They won't have been beaten for nothing."
He Jiuniang patted Lu Guilan on the shoulder, displaying the demeanor of an older sister.
Lu Guilan's heart sank instantly; she trusted her third sister-in-law!
After He Jiuniang left, Lu Guilan helped her husband and Lu Xiaoyang wipe the blood off their bodies. After all, Lu Xiaoyang was her nephew, and no private parts were injured, so it was no problem for her to help wipe them off.
As soon as He Jiuniang went out, she was met with anxious looks from a group of people.
"how's it going?"
Sun asked anxiously, "If this damages the foundation, it could cause serious trouble."
Her daughter is so young, and her two children are still young. If something really happens to Zhang Song, how will her daughter live?
"It's nothing serious, he'll be fine after some rest. My brother-in-law broke two ribs."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the first part of her statement, but their expressions turned serious when she said she had broken two ribs.
How can you say it's not a problem when the bone is broken?
"These wicked beasts, how could they beat people up like this for no reason!"
Sun spat, wishing she could curse those people's ancestors for eight generations.
“I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If this is not resolved, I'm afraid our business will be in trouble.”
It's not that I'm afraid of not having business, it's just that I'm worried those people will become even more ruthless and make things difficult for my family.
The crowd's expressions grew even more somber. Anyone who dared to beat someone up in the street must have some kind of background. In comparison, the Lu family were just ordinary farmers with no connections whatsoever. What were they going to do?
Just when things were starting to look up at home, someone came to cause trouble. Anyone would have a hard time in that situation.
Sun slapped her thigh, thought for a moment, and said, "How about we stop selling on the street? Let's finish these orders first, then cooperate with Boss Yu. We can make a lot of money that way."
The others were timid by nature and thought Sun's words made sense. As long as they didn't go out to set up stalls to sell things, those people should stop bothering them.
He Jiuniang shook her head: "You're thinking too simply. Those kinds of people won't give up until they achieve their goals. The more you hide from them, the more rampant they'll become."
She had a premonition that if this matter wasn't resolved, she wouldn't be able to have a peaceful year.
Hearing her say that, the little hope that had just been ignited in everyone's hearts was instantly shattered. If the other party had the ability and background, what could they possibly use to fight against her?
Before He Jiuniang transmigrated, the Lu family were just ordinary people who didn't want to get into any big trouble, nor did they dare to. They just wanted to live a peaceful life.
We still hold this attitude, because in this era, ordinary people really can't compete with those with connections.
Everyone was a little panicked. Madam Yu asked, "What should we do? Are we really going to have to close our business? That won't do. We can't let ourselves be bullied like this!"
Ms. Yu has been a bit temperamental lately, mainly because she has become a leader and is in charge of the female workers below her, which has made her more irritable.
He Jiuniang gave her an approving look and said, "Sister-in-law is right. We can't let ourselves be bullied for nothing, but we can't blindly retaliate either. We need to investigate this matter thoroughly."
As she spoke, she beckoned to Lotus and asked, "Lotus, did they introduce themselves?"
Lianhua's emotions have stabilized a lot now. After thinking carefully, she said, "I think I heard them mention the Dong family, but I don't know which Dong family it is."
There are many families with the surname Dong in the world, but very few Dong families would so openly and brazenly beat someone in the street.
He Jiuniang nodded to indicate that she understood, and told everyone else to go about their business. He Jiuniang pulled Lianhua to sit down and continued assembling the sewing machine while Lianhua recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
Madam Sun naturally listened from the side, since she had nothing else to do anyway.
The gist of the matter is that those people were the same ones who went to the restaurant to buy feathers at high prices before. They saw that the Lu family was making money from feather clothing, so they wanted to get into the business too.
However, no matter how they washed and dried the feathers, or even bought all sorts of scented powders, they couldn't mask the stench of the feathers.
The stench was unbearable, so only the poorest families didn't mind the clothes made from them, and they had to be sold at extremely low prices. It was impossible to make money from this.
That's when they realized the problem lay with the face powder, so they went directly to Zhang Song and the others to ask where they bought it.
He Jiuniang had always been in charge of the fragrance, so they naturally said they didn't know anything about it. But the other party felt they weren't telling the truth, so they beat them up and stole the few remaining clothes.
At this point, Lianhua realized that she hadn't handed over the money she earned that day. She hurriedly ran out for a while, and then rushed back in, carrying a bulging money bag in her arms.
But this money bag is covered in... horse feed?
The horses have been quite busy lately, spending most of their time outdoors. So the Lu family has been grinding up the hay and putting it in bags. When the horses go out, they put the bags around their necks so the horses can eat whenever they want by simply lowering their heads.
When Lianhua saw these people causing trouble, she was worried that they would steal her money, so she secretly stuffed her money bag into a sack of hay when no one was looking.
Hearing Lianhua say this, Madam Sun found the child even more endearing and incredibly clever!
He Jiuniang smiled and watched as Sun Shi and the other woman nervously counted the money.
Lotus sighed and said, "It's a pity they stole the remaining five or six pieces of clothing, otherwise we could have made some more money!"
"You child!" Mrs. Sun gave her a disapproving look. "In times of crisis, safety is of course the most important thing. Next time, you can't just think about money and not yourself! Those things are just material possessions; you can earn them back, but you only have one life!"
