Chapter 389 Aunt Dazhuang is causing trouble
Early in the morning, Lianhua Village was bustling with activity.
Wan Qiqi was awakened by the noise. When she went outside, she saw that Wang Zhi and the others looked unwell, as if they had suffered some great blow.
Only after asking did I learn that something had happened to Old Chen's family!
Before dawn, Chen, the village head, led his men to Old Chen's house, called two mule carts, and took Old Chen's family away from the village.
Yunniang had a bruised and swollen face, and her body was covered in blood.
Chen Ergou was also lying on the mule cart covered in blood, his face completely pale, it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Grandma Chen's face was full of terror, and Chen Zhu looked like he had lost his soul.
Villagers living near Old Chen's house said they heard Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Ergou cursing and fighting.
Everyone speculated that Chen Ergou hit Yunniang, and Yunniang retaliated by accidentally stabbing Chen Ergou with a knife.
However, some people say that Yunniang did not beat Chen Ergou, and after Chen Ergou fell asleep, she went to the kitchen to get a knife and stabbed him.
In short, Yunniang stabbed Chen Ergou, and Chen Lizheng led his men to Yunhe County.
No one knows how it will ultimately turn out.
As a result, people started discussing the Lin Youtian family's past and speculating about what would happen next.
Some people even compared Chen Ergou to the three Chen brothers, believing that it was Old Mrs. Chen and Aunt Zhang who corrupted Chen Ergou.
Wan Qiqi felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
If it's the former as everyone speculates, then Yunniang might be fine.
If it is the latter, then it is another extreme.
Wan Qiqi was more inclined to believe the former, after all, Yunniang had said that she cared about the child.
"Sister-in-law..." Chen Yongxing saw that Wan Qiqi was in a bad mood and wanted to go forward to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start.
Wan Qiqi composed herself and said calmly, "I'm fine. Let's do what we did yesterday and get busy in the wasteland!"
The affairs of the Chen family will be decided by the government; she doesn't need to worry about them.
Although Wan Qiqi didn't discuss the matter, the villagers busy working on the wasteland today were talking about it.
Have you heard about what happened to the Chen family?
"I not only heard about it, but I also saw Chen Ergou being carried out. Tsk, he was covered in blood, he probably won't survive!"
"Don't talk nonsense. If you really die later, you'll be in trouble."
"So what if he's dead? It's good that such a good-for-nothing is dead! He was idle at home, and he even beat women."
"Yunniang devoted herself to him without complaint, but the Chen family treated her like this. Alas... they are all unlucky!"
"Who says otherwise? Back then, Yunniang lived a very comfortable life with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family even told her the recipe. It's just a pity that she ran into that heartless Aunt Zhang!"
"It's all fate!"
Wan Qiqi doesn't believe in fate; she only believes in herself.
She gazed at the bustling crowd and spotted a familiar figure among them, accompanied by a child.
Wan Qiqi didn't even need to think; she knew this person would definitely cause trouble when it was time to settle the bill in the afternoon.
Just as Wan Qiqi expected, when it was time to settle wages in the evening, Aunt Dazhuang came to cause trouble!
"Hey, Wan Qiqi, you're such a rich person, you don't keep your word, do you?" Aunt Dazhuang said, pulling her son over and coldly saying, "We agreed on 25 coins per person per day. There are two of us, why are you only paying for one person?"
Wan Qiqi looked at Aunt Dazhuang as if she were a fool, and said with her hand outstretched, "You can ask the people who have worked for two days if the child counts."
Those who were on Wan Qiqi's side immediately spoke up for her.
"Aunt Dazhuang, Qiqi said yesterday that the child's name doesn't count, so please stop making a fuss!"
"Yes! Didn't I tell you today that the child doesn't count? Why don't you keep going?"
Aunt Dazhuang wouldn't listen to them at all, assuming that these people were helping Wan Qiqi because they had received favors from her.
She said coldly, "I don't care, my son also worked for a day, you have to pay him his wages!"
Wan Qiqi glanced at her, handed the money bag to Chen Yongxing, and gestured for him to settle the bill with the people behind him. She would handle Aunt Dazhuang herself.
Aunt Dazhuang didn't go with Chen Yongxing, knowing that the decision was Wan Qiqi's. She pestered Wan Qiqi, saying, "Wan Qiqi, you usually give the children your sweet soup and cakes to the kids without a care in the world. Why are you so stingy with me? Could it be that you have a grudge against me and are deliberately targeting me?"
"I can give you a cake." Wan Qiqi's face was so sincere that no one could find fault with her.
Aunt Dazhuang was so angry that she flew into a rage.
Who wants her cakes?
What she wants is silver! Silver that can be used to buy things!
"I don't care, you have to pay me my wages, and you have to give me the cakes too. Don't forget mine." Aunt Dazhuang said this with a straight face, as if she was in the right.
Wan Qiqi dared not actually give Aunt Dazhuang the pancake. What if she conspired with the children to pretend she had an upset stomach and then extort money from her? That would be troublesome!
She wasn't afraid of being falsely accused because she could prove her innocence, but she didn't want to waste time on such pointless matters.
"First of all, let me make this clear. I made it clear from the beginning that children can come and play, but I need adults who can do the work."
Wan Qiqi then pulled Aunt Dazhuang to the area she was in charge of and said, "Secondly, compare your work with what others have done and see how they differ."
Aunt Dazhuang knew the difference without even looking.
She took advantage of the situation and did not do as Wan Qiqi asked.
But she had seen other people's numbers, and none of them were much larger than hers.
But now, upon closer comparison, it's clear that this area isn't as neat or fine as the others.
"There's no difference, it's all the same." Aunt Zhuang refused to admit that she had done a bad job, and cursed, "Wan Qiqi, if you don't want to pay your wages, just say so. What do you mean by doing this?"
