"You don't know, Wu Qiuju's face turned pale with fear from your little sister."
After telling about Wu Qiuju's immoral deeds, Sun Cuilan proudly recounted Zheng Dandan's heroic deeds at the dinner table.
"Is Dandan so powerful now?" Zheng Jianming, the eldest cousin, looked at Zheng Dandan in surprise. In his impression, Zheng Dandan was still lazy and spoiled.
"My little sister is very smart. We rely on her for our business now." Zheng Jianjun, the third brother, said proudly.
"Doing business?" Uncle Zheng's family didn't know about this yet. When they heard it suddenly, they were surprised and scared.
"That's right." Zheng's father gave an affirmative answer. He looked at Zheng Dafeng and said, "Brother, we moved to the county town just to do business."
"How dare you? Aren't you afraid of getting caught?" Zheng Dafeng looked at Zheng's father worriedly and advised, "Brother, I know life will be difficult for you after being suspended, but you can't take any risks."
"What's the point of being arrested? No one cares. Business in the county is booming," said Zheng Jianjun, the third brother. "Uncle, the reform and opening-up pilot program is very effective. The higher-ups are tacitly approving of our business."
He usually listened to Zheng Dandan talk and took note of a lot of it.
"Really?" Zheng Dafeng looked at Zheng's father in disbelief.
"How dare he lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can go to the county town and see that there are stalls everywhere! Big brother, to be honest, my family has earned enough to buy three tricycles now."
When Luo Xiujuan heard this, her heart was instantly moved. They invited Zheng Dandan's family to dinner this time, hoping that Zheng's father would help their child.
"You've only been in the county town for a few days?" Zheng Dafeng was very surprised.
"They are all recycled old tricycles, and the total cost was about 300 yuan." Zheng's father explained that they decided to tell Uncle Zheng's family about the business after careful consideration, but they had some reservations about the benefits.
After the family splits up, no matter how close the couple is, they are still two families, and it is difficult to be completely honest with each other.
"That's enough. Your previous salary was only in the twenties, right?" Zheng Dafeng couldn't calm down for a long time. This was beyond his comprehension.
"You can make more money after doing business." Zheng's father nodded.
"His second uncle, can you take care of your nephew?" Luo Xiujuan heard the conversation between the two and could no longer hold back and ask.
"Sister-in-law, this is why we told you this. If my nephews are willing to set up a stall, I will pay them two yuan a day as wages." Zheng's father said to Luo Xiujuan.
"Two dollars a day?" Luo Xiujuan widened her eyes.
"Yes, two dollars a day." Zheng's father confirmed.
"This month..." Luo Xiujuan counted excitedly on her fingers, "Sixty, right?"
"If I go there every day, I'd sell about 60. But sometimes we encounter extremely bad weather and can't set up the stall," Zheng Dandan said to Luo Xiujuan.
"Go, everyone go, we must go!" Luo Xiujuan said excitedly, her mind full of sixty yuan.
"Why go? Where will I stay?" Compared to Luo Xiujuan's optimism, Zheng Dafeng had a lot of concerns. He believed that Zheng's father would not cheat his nephew, but the idea that doing business was dangerous was almost ingrained in him.
"With my second brother's family in the county town, how could they not have a place to live?" Luo Xiujuan didn't think this was a problem.
"Don't worry, brother. Let's go home and rest for two days. After two days, you can go to the county town with us. At the beginning, we made the decision after visiting the county town." Zheng's father knew Zheng Dafeng's concerns and said to him.
"What about the third brother?" Zheng Dafeng asked. They also had another brother.
"I'll go to my third brother's house in the evening." Zheng's father replied.
The profits from the business were staggeringly huge, and with ample supplies, their biggest shortfall was manpower! They didn't dare trust outsiders easily, so they could only turn to their own people.
This is one of the reasons why they told Uncle Zheng's family about the matter. Another reason, of course, is that they hope their brothers' families can also live a good life.
"Let me think about it again." Zheng Dafeng was shaken, but there was still a trace of worry in his heart.
As Zheng Dandan expected, Wu Qiuju was willing to make the greatest compromise possible in order to avoid being sued.
She, who always cared about her reputation, brought her husband to the Zheng family's door and begged bitterly.
"Cui Lan, Dan Dan, please forgive me this time. I am your third sister-in-law and your third aunt. How can you bear to go to court with me?"
Wu Qiuju's understanding of lawsuits was very superficial, and she knew almost everything about them from stories in operas.
"Bah, Wu Qiuju, have some shame! When you were dealing with Niuniu, why didn't you think of you being her aunt?" Sun Cuilan spat fiercely. "She's only three years old, and you're so cruel!"
"Cuilan, she is your third sister-in-law, you should respect her." Sun Cuilan's third brother Sun Qiuyu frowned, very dissatisfied with Sun Cuilan's attitude.
"Qiuyu, it's okay, as long as Cuilan can forgive me." Wu Qiuju was worried about angering Sun Cuilan, so she quickly grabbed Sun Qiuyu.
"Are you here to perform in my house, singing along?" Zheng Dandan looked at Sun Qiuyu and Wu Qiuju sarcastically. "One's a red-faced man, the other a white-faced man. They act like professionals, but my family doesn't buy into that."
"Dandan, how can you talk like that? I am your third uncle. If you disrespect your uncle, you will be struck by lightning!" Sun Qiuyu acted like an elder.
"Let me be struck by lightning. I want to see who gets killed by lightning first, me or you get locked up first!" Zheng Dandan looked disdainful.
"Pah, pah, pah!" Zheng Dandan didn't care, but Sun Cuilan was very nervous. She glared at Sun Qiuyu, "You dare to curse my daughter to be struck by lightning? Your whole family will be killed by lightning. Get out of here!"
"Cui Lan, your third brother is not good at talking. He didn't mean that. I beg you, please don't sue me, okay? I really won't dare to do it again!"
Wu Qiuju was really scared. Zheng Dandan acted too seriously and almost fooled Sun Cuilan, let alone her?
"For my mother's sake, it's not impossible." After Wu Qiuju begged for a long time, Zheng Dandan finally gave in.
"Thank you Dandan, thank you Dandan, I knew you had a kind heart." Wu Qiuju finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zheng Dandan's words.
"Don't worry, I have the conditions." Zheng Dandan said slowly.
"What conditions?" Wu Qiuju had a bad feeling in her heart.
"First, compensate Niu Niu Pi Dan for her medical expenses and mental damages, a total of ten yuan. Second, let Maomao Yaya admit her mistake and apologize to Niu Niu Pi Dan in public." Zheng Dandan said, pointing with her fingers.
"Ten dollars, you are robbing me!" After hearing this, Wu Qiuju was so excited that she almost jumped up.
"I have the injury report from the health center, and I can get support if we go to court. If you don't want to settle it privately, then we will settle it publicly." Zheng Dandan did not give in at all.
"I'm willing to settle it privately, but ten dollars is really too much. Considering that Maomao Yaya is also injured, can you give me a lower price?"
As she spoke, Wu Qiuju's face was full of heartache.
She felt sorry for her grandchildren whose bodies were covered in teeth marks, and she felt even more sorry for the money.
