Chapter 257 Lou Family Riot
In Xu Zhichun's opinion, it is better to let the villagers make the money than to let outsiders make it.
Hiring more people would allow the land to be cleared sooner and benefit more families. After clearing the land, there would be planting and weeding next year, which would require people.
If the workshop is established, it will require more people.
Yang Ming and Yang Xiaoan thought it was a good idea after hearing her say that, so they agreed and hurried back to finish their own work.
After reclaiming the wasteland, I also have to inquire about building a house. Everyone in the village has made money this year, and many families have said that they want to overhaul or simply rebuild their houses.
Especially for those elderly people who have worked hard all their lives, they used to live in such a tight situation that they dared not even think about it. They worked hard all year round and saved a lot of money, but they could not save much. They were considered to be living well if they could have a few taels left over at the end of the year. For many families, it was just enough to make ends meet for a year. How could they dare to think about building a new house?
Not to mention the big brick and tile houses.
It's different now.
You can get dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver. Shouldn't this be an improvement?
Being able to live in a big brick and tile house built by myself makes this life worthwhile.
Furthermore, being able to leave a grand blue brick and tile house to your children and grandchildren is worthwhile in this life.
It's a worthwhile thing, why not do it quickly?
If many people want to build a house, labor will be in high demand. Shouldn't arrangements be made early?
Yang Ming and his son Yang Xiaoan were both very energetic. After returning home that day, they carried hoes on their shoulders and hatchets on their waists and rushed to open up the wasteland.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Xiaojuan and Qiao'er, mother and daughter, almost got into trouble.
The Lou family actually came to the door.
Because Xu Zhichun had a lot of things to do at home recently, he did not go into the city to set up a stall. The shop he bought was simply renovated in two days and was ready for use. Now they no longer need to set up a stall in the market, but have moved into the shop.
It saves a lot of trouble every day.
Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhu'er don't even need to go every day. If Qi Tian has no work to do occasionally, they can let Qi Tian drive the car to take Aunt Zhu'er there.
Everyone in the village knew that Xu Zhichun and Zeng Xiaojuan were good friends. When a quarrel broke out in one of their families, someone immediately ran to tell Xu Zhichun and also ran to the headman's house to tell him.
When Xu Zhichun heard the description, he secretly said that it was bad. Aunt Lou San and Lou Er's family were not easy to deal with. Aunt Xiaojuan was going to suffer.
Xu Zhichun ran over quickly and heard the angry curses of Aunt Lou San and Lou Er's family, Qiao'er's heart-wrenching cry, and Zeng Xiaojuan's intermittent scolding, which was a mixture of shock and anger and was suppressed.
The yard was crowded with many villagers watching the fun, shouting and saying all kinds of things.
Aunt Lou San cursed Zeng Xiaojuan harshly, calling her a bitch and a slut. She even ordered Lou Er and Jiang to take Qiao'er away, claiming that Qiao'er was the blood of their Lou family and a member of the Lou family, and they would not allow outsiders to be their father.
Zeng Xiaojuan naturally refused to let them take Qiao'er away, crying and defending Qiao'er, who was frightened and cried loudly.
When Xu Zhichun arrived, the village head's wife had already arrived. However, facing the Lou family's aggressive and assertive words, she didn't understand the details and was a little at a loss.
After all, who can stop someone from coming to take away their bloodline? Even the king of heaven can't stop them.
Zeng Xiaojuan tried to explain, but Aunt Lou San was so arrogant and loud that she didn't even give her a chance to explain herself.
"Stop it! Everyone, stop it!"
Xu Zhichun stepped forward to protect Zeng Xiaojuan. Qiao'er, who had been pulled over by Lou Er, suddenly broke free from Lou Er and cried, "Sister-in-law!" She ran over and threw herself on Xu Zhichun, hugging her tightly with tears streaming down her face, "Sister-in-law, save me! Sister-in-law, save my mother!"
"You ungrateful little bastard! I've really wasted my time raising you! It's all your fault, your rotten-hearted mother. May God strike you dead for turning my good granddaughter into this!"
Zeng Xiaojuan cried out in anger, shame, and rage, "You keep talking nonsense—"
Third Aunt Lou interrupted her sharply, her voice rising, her chest thumping. "How am I talking nonsense? It's clearly you, a bitch, who's putting on airs and pretending to be so important. If you were a good person, if you hadn't been saying bad things about us behind our backs, how could this girl become like this? You've coaxed her into not even recognizing her own grandmother and father at such a young age. You're quite capable!"
Lou Er glared at Zeng Xiaojuan fiercely, wishing he could skin her alive. He sneered like a venomous snake, "Mom, why are you saying so much to this bitch? If she were a good person, she wouldn't do such a thing. Let's take this girl away."
"That's right! The bloodline of our Lou family will never be allowed to wander around and call others father. Zeng Xiaojuan, you are so shameless. You left our Lou family and remarried right after. Could it be that you have been hooking up with her for a long time? Despicable! Really despicable!"
Zeng Xiaojuan glared at her angrily and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about! What nonsense are you talking about! It's obviously you, you are shameless, you are vicious and can't tolerate us mother and daughter. What right do you have to slander me, wrong me, and throw dirty water on me! Why?"
The Lou family was stunned, and Jiang's eyes widened in disbelief.
Is this still the same Zeng Xiaojuan who was so timid, cowardly, and didn't dare to say a word? Was it all just a pretense before?
"You're such a rebel! How dare you talk to me like that? I'll beat you to death!"
Aunt Lou San simply could not tolerate the fact that her daughter-in-law, whom she had bullied as she pleased and beaten for fun when she was happy and to vent her anger when she was unhappy, dared to yell and accuse her. She was so frightened and angry that she almost wanted to eat someone, and pounced on Zeng Xiaojuan to beat her.
Xu Zhichun stepped forward to stop her: "What are you doing?"
Everyone in Liangjia Village saw what kind of person Zeng Xiaojuan was. On the contrary, although the accusations of the Lou family sounded reasonable, no one looked down on their behavior and naturally discounted their words.
But it was none of their business, it was someone else's family affair. Plus, they were not very familiar with Zeng Xiaojuan, so they hesitated to step forward and intervene. But now that they saw Xu Zhichun stepping forward, it was a different story.
Since Xu Zhichun was in charge of this matter, they of course had to help, so they all stepped forward, pulling and tugging, and finally pulled Aunt Lou away.
"Hey, if you have something to say, just talk it out. Why are you hitting me?"
"That's right, physical action won't solve the problem."
"I think your sister-in-law is a little too fierce. Can you be more gentle?"
"Of course, don't say such harsh words, it's really unpleasant."
"Why!"
Aunt Lou was so angry that she screamed, "None of your business! Why would you mind your own business?"
Everyone was unhappy to hear this and started to talk to her about how to behave.
Aunt Lou San's mouth was no match for countless others, and she finally felt the pain of being unable to speak.
