"Our family's wealth must have been earned through legitimate means. Unlike some people who only do petty thefts, what's the difference between them and rats in the gutter?
If you want money and good things, can't you earn them yourself? It's really despicable to only keep your eyes on other people's things."
Zhao Xiaoyu was stunned after saying this. Why would she argue with such a person? It's so cheap, isn't it?
The woman blushed, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. I heard from my servants that more than a dozen bricks were loose, and your family said they didn't move them. You want to report it to the police, right?"
The woman stretched her neck and straightened her back. "Yes, our family has lived here for generations, and we've always lived peacefully without any problems. But when you moved in next door, something bad happened. Who would believe you if you said there was nothing fishy? Can bricks grow legs and run?"
"Madam is right. Bricks really can't grow legs on their own. I also find this matter strange, so we came here today to get to the bottom of this matter.
Madam is right, there must be something fishy going on here. The bricks wouldn't just come loose on their own. Okay, we can't handle this either, let's go together."
The woman was confused. "Where are we going?"
"See the official, let's go together. Didn't you say yesterday that you would report it to the police to find out the truth? Our family feels that what Madam did was right, and she should indeed report it to the police."
The woman was dumbfounded. Report it to the police? Was she crazy? Report it to the police. It was just to scare the dog slave.
"You're not crazy enough to report a few loose bricks to the police?"
"It's not just a few loose bricks that are loose, it's also people's hearts. No matter what, we can't just let it go like this. We have to get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, whoever is wronged will feel uncomfortable. Anyway, this matter is very easy to investigate. There are only our two families, yours and mine. Isn't that right, Madam?"
She used to call the other party "Aunt", but now she calls her "Madam". However, this "Madam" makes the woman feel uneasy.
Without a man, I don’t even have a backbone.
She didn't dare to see the official, even if she died. How could a woman like her dare to see the official?
"Xiao Yu is right. This is a matter between you and me. I absolutely believe that you won't do anything to poach our employees. I have never targeted you.
But since you're not at home, I'm afraid the slaves at home might become disobedient, so I wanted to remind you..."
"Our servants are very obedient and loyal."
The woman choked, "Yes, yes, your servants are very good. I guess the brick must have been loose before. The house next door has been sold to three or four masters. Who knows when and who did it? It definitely won't be you.
It was your family who discovered this. If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known about it. How about this, when my husband comes back, we'll lay the bricks and everything will be fine."
"Madam, are you sure it's all good after it's laid? Aren't a few bricks going to come loose for no apparent reason someday?"
Why is this damn girl so difficult to deal with?
"No, no, definitely not."
The woman had a smile on her face, but she had only one thought in her mind: she must not report it to the police, she absolutely must not report it to the police.
"Can I trust my lady?"
"Of course you can. You know who we are. My boss is a minor official. We are a very honest family. Even if you don't live here, there will definitely be no problem with the house."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The woman nodded like a chick pounding rice.
Zhao Xiaoyu stared at her for a long time, which made her feel uneasy. Finally, she smiled and said, "I trust Madam this time. Thank you for fixing those loose bricks. If there are more loose bricks in the future, we will see the authorities."
The woman choked, the dead girl was threatening her.
But she didn't know how to retort, for fear that she would be upset and report him to the police.
"Don't worry, the remaining bricks are very solid."
After the matter was agreed upon, Zhao Xiaoyu took his father back to the next door and told the servants to be careful and touch the wall more often when they had nothing to do, especially in winter.
