There are truly amazing people everywhere!
Even distant relatives are trying to take advantage of her, and they do it with such self-righteousness. Yang Cui couldn't help but laugh at the old woman's shameless face.
"Excuse me, ma'am, we've collected enough earthworms. The ducks can't eat too many."
Yesterday, I just refused the villagers, and today Old Lady Qian came to my door with earthworms, trying to sell them by taking advantage of her age. If Yang Cui accepts them, everyone else in the village will do the same tomorrow. Should I accept them or not?
Therefore, this door must not be opened!
Old Mrs. Qian flew into a rage: "You little brat, how can you be so stingy? You can accept other people's things, so why can't I? They're all exactly the same, are theirs inlaid with gold or something? You have no respect for your elders! Are you taking advantage of my age? I'm still your grandmother! Take it right now! Give me the money!"
"Grandma? Heh." Yang Cui scoffed, "In terms of age and seniority, which old person in the village isn't my grandpa or grandma? Everyone here with the surname An, going back a few generations, isn't they all related to my uncle and my mother? If everyone were like you, forcing people to sell themselves, I wouldn't be able to make a living!"
Yang Cui wasn't heartless. If the old woman had spoken to her privately, Yang Cui would have accepted the money. But being forced to buy it and being spoken to so rudely was a different matter altogether.
"you……"
Old Mrs. Qian never expected Yang Cui to be so impolite.
She started throwing a tantrum, plopped down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and cried, "My poor old woman, I got up early to dig for earthworms, and my back aches, my legs cramp, and she still doesn't want my earthworms! She's just taking advantage of my old age! Waaah... God, there's no justice!"
Yang Cui: "..."
At this moment, An Huangshi, the village chief's wife, reached out to help her up: "Aunt Qian, get up quickly. Aren't you making things difficult for Xiao Cui by doing this?"
"Yeah, you didn't even tell Xiaocui beforehand and you wanted to take advantage of her. You wanted her to calculate it as seven pounds even though it wasn't seven pounds. How can you do that?"
"Get up."
Old Mrs. Qian's face changed, and she scolded the women who had spoken: "I'm not getting up! It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. You made money, but I worked for nothing. My life is so miserable..."
“Go cry at your own home! Do you really think crying can threaten me?” Yang Cui wouldn’t back down. She was a woman with three children. If she didn’t stand up for herself, people would really think she was easy to bully.
If she doesn't stand up for herself today, what will happen when she expands her breeding scale and business grows, and everyone starts causing trouble? How will she manage then?
"How could you be so heartless? You vicious little brat! Do you know how hard it is for an old woman like me to dig up earthworms? If you don't give me my money today, I'm not leaving your house!"
After saying that, Old Lady Qian immediately got up, ran to Yang Cui's house and sat down, looking like she wouldn't leave until she got her money.
"Trying to back out?"
Old Mrs. Qian, with an air of utter indifference, declared, "I'm not leaving unless you give me my money!"
While taking the opportunity, Old Lady Qian also looked around Yang Cui's house, thinking about whether she could take advantage of the situation and make some more money.
Yang Cui could tell from the old woman's shifty eyes that she had no good intentions. Fortunately, she was discreet and kept all the slightly conspicuous items in her bedroom, which she kept closed most of the time.
An Huangshi said again, "Aunt Qian, you're going too far! Go back now."
"That won't do, they haven't given me the money yet."
An Huangshi and several of her aunts tried to pull Old Lady Qian away, but she naturally resisted. In the struggle, Old Lady Qian suddenly rolled on the ground, crying out, "Ouch! My head hurts! Ouch, I have angina! If I die here, I'll haunt you even as a ghost! Ouch, ouch..."
Old Mrs. Qian's tricks are commonplace in today's interconnected world.
Anzhuang said, "Xiaocui, why don't you just accept it? You'll need it anyway."
"Okay, then I won't collect earthworms from your house for the time being, Aunt. I'll collect them from her house from now on."
Upon hearing this, Anzhuang immediately fell silent.
"Grandma Qian, if you keep making a fuss like this, I'm not raising ducks anymore, and I won't collect earthworms either. I'll even bring my kids to your house to eat, drink, and relieve themselves."
Upon hearing Yang Cui's words, An Huangshi and her other aunts-in-law also became anxious.
If Yang Cui doesn't collect earthworms, it will affect their interests—they earn more than ten copper coins a day! The key is that this job isn't tiring, and it's right at their doorstep, no worse than what people with regular jobs outside earn.
"Old woman Qian, let me tell you, if I lose this income, my whole family will come to your house to eat, drink, and sleep."
“Our whole family is going too.”
"And what about our family? Let's see if your Qian family can afford to support us."
Old Mrs. Qian immediately became the target of everyone's criticism.
An Huangshi: "Aunt Qian, are you going to go against all of us with the surname An?"
When Old Lady Qian saw that the group had joined forces, she was a little scared. After all, she had offended so many people at once, and her future days would not be easy. Moreover, the village chief's family was also involved.
When old woman Qian realized that her tantrums and whining weren't working, she started to play the victim: "Xiao Cui, please have mercy and accept it! My family is so poor we can't even afford to eat. I'll kowtow to you, won't that be enough?"
Old Mrs. Qian made a move to kowtow to Yang Cui, but Yang Cui dodged her, saying, "I can't accept this. Please go back. If everyone acts like this, throwing a tantrum and playing the victim until they get what they want, how am I supposed to live?"
Yang Cui said she wouldn't accept it, and that meant she wouldn't.
Several cousins and An Huangshi dragged and pulled Old Lady Qian out.
When Old Lady Qian realized she hadn't achieved her goal, she was dragged out and yelled at outside: "You heartless slut! No wonder the Lin family doesn't want you! You black-hearted, ungrateful thing, you deserve to be dumped by your husband!"
