Chapter 032 My House
Shen Ning was confident that she could withstand the test of my king. Even though she went to bed late the night before, she got up early the next morning and prepared breakfast for my king very diligently.
Now that my king is no longer stupid, her attitude should be more positive!
For future glory and wealth...Go!
Lian'er also came out from another room in the yard.
Zhao Tong's house was almost burned to ruins. Lian'er and Zhao Tong stayed in an empty house next to the gate of Shen Ning's house last night.
Fortunately, the houses have been newly renovated and are very tidy.
Lian'er originally wanted to get up early to prepare breakfast for everyone, but she didn't expect Shen Ning to get up too. The two looked at each other and then smiled and said, "Then let's do it together."
Chen Ning's house was peaceful and harmonious, but on the other hand, Dong Chunhua's house was in chaos. Dong Chunhua cried and demanded that the families who had fought off the enemy at her house last night share their losses.
Last night, before the two bandits fled, they fired two rockets, one of which hit the food of the families in the yard, but because the yard was empty, the rocket was quickly extinguished.
The other one happened to hit the woodshed of Dong Chunhua's house... The woodshed was full of dry straw and firewood, and the fire soon got out of control.
In this way, all the food that Dong Chunhua deliberately placed in the yard was intact, but the food in Dong Chunhua's family, along with her house, turned into ashes.
After all the trouble, Dong Chunhua was the only one who suffered heavy losses. She was about to collapse and cried and made a fuss, asking those families to share their losses.
But of course those companies didn't agree.
The situation was urgent last night, and Dong Chunhua asked them to go to her house. However, when the food arrived, she asked them to pile the food in the yard, which showed bad intentions.
More importantly, when the bandits came last night, Zhao Shuan and two others fought desperately to save their families and food, but Dong Chunhua's family all hid behind, and Dong Chunhua even betrayed Chen Ning, who had made great contributions to the village.
Having just experienced life and death, everyone was extremely angry. When they saw Dong Chunhua's face, some people immediately started to curse.
"Bah, shameless. All you do every day is cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang yourself. If you don't want to live anymore, just go and die."
"Exactly. I've heard it all. Both of our men are hiding behind others. They really have shamelessness."
"The village head said it all. It was thanks to Madam Shen that she drugged and knocked out most of the bandits yesterday. Otherwise, I'm afraid our village would have been massacred... Dong Chunhua is Madam Shen's aunt, and she pointed Madam Shen's house to the bandits. What a wicked thing."
"And she still has the nerve to ask for compensation. She deliberately put other people's food in the yard and hid her own. She deserves it!"
While they were arguing, the village head arrived.
Dong Chunhua wept and knelt before the village head, begging him to take charge: "We have lost everything. Our house is gone, our food is gone... Our family is starving to death. Please help us!"
The village head's eyes were filled with disgust. "What are you doing? Not only did none of your family members stand up for you, but you also betrayed the neighbors who protected us. Now instead of asking for help, you're trying to blackmail us... Figure out a solution yourself, or tighten your belts and stop making trouble. Otherwise, don't stay in Qingyuan Village."
Dong Chunhua cried even louder when she heard this: "I can't live anymore! They're killing me! They're even more cruel than bandits..."
At this moment, a young woman squeezed through the crowd and helped Dong Chunhua up: "Mom, get up, don't cry."
"Daya, Daya, you're back! We've lost our house and our food... What should we do?"
The person supporting Dong Chunhua was Chen Xuan, who rushed back as soon as she heard the news.
Chen Xuan worked as a maid in a wealthy family in Pingning County, and she was a respected maid. The clothes she wore were different from those of the country girls.
Helping Dong Chunhua up, Shen Xuan whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, mother. I've advanced your monthly salary. Don't worry, you can get through it. Just wait until the autumn harvest."
Dong Chunhua held her daughter's hand and said, "Daya, what are we going to do with our house?"
Chen Xuan glanced at the villagers who were watching the excitement around her, then gritted her teeth and said, "I'll find a way..."
Dong Chunhua finally stopped crying and walked back with her daughter's support, wiping her tears.
Their house was reduced to ruins, and they built a simple shed next to the ruins to barely live in.
Everything was gone and they couldn't cook. Fortunately, Shen Xuan brought back some food and the family managed to have a meal.
After dinner, Dong Chunhua was counting on her fingers how much silver was needed to build a house and provide food for the next six months, while Shen Qingsong went out with a straw in his mouth, ready to go to his friends' houses to get some food, as he had just not eaten enough.
When Dong Chunhua finished calculating for Shen Xuan and asked her to bring back thirty taels, Shen Xuan was a little surprised: "Why so much?"
"What do you know?"
Dong Chunhua gritted her teeth and said, "This time, the whole village is laughing at our family, waiting for us to fall into poverty. But we won't do that. We're determined to rebuild our house, a big brick and tile house... Your brother should be getting married soon. With a big brick and tile house, who will dare to laugh at us?"
Chen Xuan frowned: "But thirty taels..."
Although she was popular in front of her master, she was just a maid after all. Most of the seven cents of silver she received every month was taken home, and there was not much left for her.
Thirty taels, where did she get so much silver!
Seeing that Chen Xuan was silent, Dong Chunhua was about to burst into tears again. At this time, Shen Qingsong hurriedly walked in from outside and shouted, "Mom, I heard them say that Chen Ning lent her yard to Zhao Tong and his wife to live in. She is planning to move to the county town."
When Dong Chunhua heard this, she immediately became anxious.
Chen Ning is moving to the county town, so her yard will be vacant. She said she would lend it to Zhao Tong and his wife to live in. What's the difference between lending and giving?
This damn girl, when something happens, she doesn't think about her relatives, she actually turns her elbow outward!
Dong Chunhua stood up and walked out: "I want to have a good talk with that damn girl and let her judge what's right. How can you ignore your own relatives and then interfere with outsiders!"
Chen Xuan hurriedly followed him out, her expression also looking very ugly.
I've heard from her mother before that when her mother went to hang red scrolls while Shen Ning's family was renovating their house, Shen Ning refused to even provide a meal and locked her parents out.
After all, they are relatives and elders. No matter where you go, there is no reason to ignore your own elders and help outsiders.
Chen Ning really didn't expect Dong Chunhua to come to her house, and the reason was: why not lend the house to their family, but to outsiders.
Because it was too unbelievable, Shen Ning even wanted to laugh: "This is my house. It's my freedom to rent it to whoever I want."
Dong Chunhua put her hands on her hips and shouted, "I am your aunt!"
Shen Ning shook her head: "Stop, stop, stop, I'm not Shen Danian's daughter, and Shen Qingbai has publicly announced that he has severed ties with your family... That time you and Shen Xiaodong cheated him of his money, have you forgotten?"
The neighbors who gradually gathered around to watch were also pointing and whispering, "Shame on you!"
"That's right. How could you forget that you're a human being when you're trying to extort money? You jump at the chance to make a profit... like a dog seeing shit."
"Look at her character!"
"Mrs. Shen can lend her house to anyone she wants, it's none of her business!"
All around were greetings of "shit, piss, and fart." Dong Chunhua didn't care about these things. Her heart and eyes were full of the courtyard of Chen Ning's big blue brick and tile house. Her eyes were almost red. "Anyway, you have to let our family live in this house. No one else can live in it."
Zhao Tong and Lian'er walked out of the yard. Lian'er spat: "You showed the way to the bandits. Shen Ning's family wanted to kill Shen Ning, and you still have the nerve to rob people's houses. Are you from the same family as the Black Cloud Village bandits?"
Dong Chunhua gritted her teeth and said, "Bullshit, we were forced into a corner by the bandits."
Shen Ning said, "There was a way when we were robbing the house... But you reminded me. So, I won't lend this yard to Sister Lian'er's family. I'll sell it to them."
Shen Ning said loudly: "We will sign the contract later. Brother Zhao, Sister Lian'er, from now on, this yard is yours. If anyone comes again, you can beat them out!"
Zhao Tong picked up the stick in his hand: "Okay."
Dong Chunhua became even more anxious now, but since both parties were willing to buy and sell, the house became Zhao Tong's and she had no chance of getting a piece of it. She immediately sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
"My house..."
People around: (；′⌒`) (；′⌒`) (；′⌒`) (；へ：)
