Chapter 246 Justice
Liang Mingliang was the first to get angry. "You're showing off with just ten taels of silver. You really have never seen money before."
"you--"
Zhang Cong was furious.
He was the one who used money to scare people, but he never expected that one day he would be killed instantly.
It is not very harmful but extremely insulting.
The most frustrating thing is that he only has ten taels of silver? He just thought that using such a huge sum of money as ten taels of silver to scare the country people was enough, but he didn't expect to be despised.
Indeed, since this family could afford Liang Xiaoman to be their apprentice in the accounting department, they must have some wealth. However, this person is quite boastful, acting as if he doesn't care about ten taels of silver. Haha, can their family really afford a hundred taels?
If you could really come up with a hundred taels, would you be willing to send Liang Xiaoman to be an apprentice and suffer?
This guy is really good at bragging.
The feeling of being killed in return was too frustrating. Zhang Cong sneered, "I remembered it wrongly. Liang Xiaoman should pay a hundred taels of silver, not ten. If you don't pay, you'll be beaten with a stick and thrown into jail!"
"It seems you've never seen money before," Xu Zhichun pulled out a hundred-liang silver note from his purse and waved it in front of him. "Do you see it clearly? One hundred liang. If Xiaoman really deserves compensation, we'll pay it. But if Xiaoman was wrongly accused, injured, or wronged, we won't let it go."
"Yes, that's right!"
Zhang Cong was dumbfounded and felt even more aggrieved.
What the hell is this?
When did country people become so rich?
Why would Liang Xiaoman be an apprentice when he is so rich!
Liang Lizheng said coldly: "Get out of the way, we are looking for Master Qin."
"Hmph! Can you see our master whenever you want? Get out, all of you! If you don't get out, I'll have someone kick you out."
If it weren't for Mr. Qin's consideration, Xu Zhichun would have turned around and left for the yamen at this moment.
Xu Zhichun: "Since we are here, we must see Master Qin. Why don't you try to send someone to chase him away?"
Will the Qin family's servants listen to him?
Zhang Cong's face looked extremely ugly.
Threats don't work, but he only has these three tricks. What should he do?
Even though Zhang Cong hated Xu Zhichun and his group, he had to soften his tone. "You're still not convinced? Well, in that case, I'll convince you wholeheartedly! Don't you want to see me? Wait!"
Zhang Cong quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door. He whispered something to the doorman. The doorman glanced at Xu Zhichun and the others, nodded, and left quickly.
Zhang Cong was immediately smug and proud: Look how much face he has in the master's house! If these people want to sue him, they'd better think twice.
"Humph, if you want to see the master, follow me."
Liang Lizheng and others all looked at Xu Zhichun at the same time.
Only a fool would not think there is something fishy.
Liang Mingliang: "What should we do about Zhichun? This person definitely has bad intentions."
Liang Mingliang's voice was not loud, but Zhang Cong still heard it and his face darkened with anger. "Are you guys going or not?"
Xu Zhichun also whispered, "Village Chief, let's go in first."
With Chunfen here and so many of them around, they don't have to worry about Zhang Cong causing trouble.
Besides, this is the Qin family, and Zhang Cong is just a manager at the dock. How can he be the master of the Qin family mansion?
Liang Lizheng nodded: "Okay."
Zhang Cong sneered and led them into the Qin family's house. They waited in a secluded flower hall in the front yard. He coldly said "Wait!" and stood guard outside the flower hall, subconsciously looking into the distance.
When Qin Xiuhe arrived with her maid, Zhang Cong hurried to greet them and quickly reported the reason to her.
Qin Xiuhe glanced at him dissatisfiedly, "If you can't even handle such a small matter, what use are you?"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I didn't expect those people to be so hateful. I'm sorry for causing trouble for Madam."
"snort!"
Qin Xiuhe rolled her eyes at him. It was indeed a nuisance. If she didn't want to be looked down upon by her elder brother and sister-in-law, she wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter.
But Zhang Cong is her man, so she has to intervene even if she doesn't want to.
Zhang Cong arrogantly invited Qin Xiuhe over and said, "Our master is out, and he wouldn't care about such trivial matters. It just so happens that our aunt is free. If you have anything to say, just tell our aunt. Our aunt can make the decision on all matters concerning the Qin family."
When Qin Xiuhe and Xu Zhichun met, one was stunned and the other felt helpless.
"Why is it you!"
"Grandma Qin."
Qin Xiuhe sneered: "I was wondering who is so upright and courageous. It turns out to be Madam Xu."
Zhang Cong was also stunned: Madam actually knows this person?
For no reason, he felt a little uneasy, so he didn't leave and just stood aside.
Qin Xiuhe proudly stepped forward and took the main seat. "Mrs. Xu, are you taking advantage of my elder brother and his wife's kindness and good temper, their willingness to help others and their willingness to do good deeds without caring about public appearances? Are you here to take advantage of me?"
Liang Lizheng: "This has nothing to do with Zhichun. We just asked Zhichun to accompany us on this trip. My grandson works at your dock. Yesterday -"
"Steward Zhang has already told me what happened yesterday. Your grandson accidentally bumped into the mule cart, and the mule pulling the cart was startled and almost hit the cargo pile, causing a disaster. We didn't cause you any trouble, yet you dare to come to our door and ask for compensation? What's the logic behind this? Although our Qin family is kind and generous, we can't take advantage of everyone! Scoundrels like you who try to get something for nothing, don't even think about taking a penny from our Qin family!"
"Nonsense! Is that what Manager Zhang said? But that's not what my grandson said—"
"Your grandson wants money, so he wouldn't say that. Our managers are selected through various rounds of selection, so their character is certainly much better than people like you."
Zhang Cong chimed in: "Many people on the dock saw it. If you don't believe me, just go to the dock and ask others and see what they say."
Liang Mingliang shouted angrily: "The people at the dock are all working for your Qin family, of course they won't tell the truth!"
Zhang Cong was shameless and abominable: "Oh, if you say that, then I can't do anything about it!"
"you--"
"Alright," Qin Xiuhe sneered disdainfully. "It's such a small matter, there's no point in making a fuss about it. Although your grandson was at fault, he was injured after all, so we won't make a fuss about it. It's not easy for you to come here, so I won't mind your rudeness. Manager Zhang, give them two taels of silver. Take the silver, and you can leave quickly. This matter ends here, and there's no need to say any more."
With Qin Xiuhe's temper, she would not bow her head and let the Qin family "get away with it" even if two taels of silver were thrown into the water to hear the sound.
But this is in the Qin family.
She didn't want her elder brother and sister-in-law to know about this, so she could only "admit defeat" and give the money to settle the matter.
The Liang family was furious: "This is too much!"
