Chapter 670: Discount? You two are worthless
Chapter 670: Discount? You two are worthless
"A piece of broken stuff? Why don't you go around asking around? Our Lu family's tofu is very famous. These things are not available anywhere else. They need to be specially customized. Any rack costs one or two taels of silver. I am not cheating you. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone." Yao Qingnian said calmly.
"I have to pay compensation for smashing your things, but how about you hitting my daughter-in-law?! I don't believe that my daughter-in-law's life is not as valuable as your things!"
After Old Lady Zhou finished speaking, she winked at Xie Cailian, who immediately understood and cried out, falling to the ground as she spoke. She looked extremely weak. She was skinny to begin with, and to others, she really looked like she had been beaten: "Ouch, oh, my body hurts so much! It hurts here and there."
"Did you see that? You beat my daughter-in-law into a state of disarray! Fellow villagers, although we are outsiders, we are now also villagers of Taoxi Village. We have done many bad things, but she can't bully us like this. She beat us up and just walked away. We came to her house to ask for an explanation, but she blackmailed us instead. Isn't this bullying us because we are unfamiliar with the place and have no one to rely on?" Old Mrs. Zhou said sincerely.
After listening to her, the onlookers started talking again. Although they did live a better life because of the Lu family, some people did not think so. They felt that the people of the Lu family ate meat and fish every day and made money, and it was all because of the villagers. If it weren't for everyone, their Lu family would not be able to live such a good life. Although the Zhou family did a lot of wrong things, beating people was wrong. So some villagers didn't believe Yao Qingnian at all and said that she had beaten people and refused to admit it.
"Huai Jin's wife, if you hit someone, just apologize. Why did you just leave without saying a word? This is too much!"
"Yes, your family has money now, so you don't need to worry about the medical expenses. I think you should give the money to them!"
"That's right. If the matter gets out of hand, it won't do any good to your family. We are from the same village and neighbors. Why are you making such a fuss? It's just a matter of medical expenses and an apology."
Liu Shuyue and her husband were furious after hearing what the villagers said. These people always tried to curry favor with their family whenever there was something good going on, but now they were the first to jump out and add insult to injury. This was too much. They stepped forward and scolded them, "You listened to a few words of nonsense from old lady Zhou, without any basis, and you came to condemn our Qing Nian before the matter was concluded. Have you lost your conscience?"
"Lu family, you can't say that! Your family eats delicious food and drinks spicy drinks every day, and your life is comfortable. When have you ever thought about us? Now you say that our conscience has been eaten by dogs. Do you have the nerve to do that? Besides, we are just discussing the facts. We are all from the same village. We can't favor you just because your family is rich!"
"You guys!" Liu Shuyue almost fainted from anger.
"Mom, it's okay. There's no need to get angry with them. It's not worth it." Yao Qingnian felt very contemptuous in her heart. As expected, when life is good, there are inevitably some jealous people. No matter how many good things you do, many people will not take it to heart. They think it is natural and that they can do anything if there are benefits. As long as you make a mistake, they will immediately jump out to condemn you.
When Old Lady Zhou heard that the villagers were on her side, she was happy. It seemed that God was helping her. Thinking of the purpose of her coming here, she said proudly, "Little girl, did you hear me? Everyone is watching us! I am not like you who asks for a huge sum of money. You just need to pay us five taels of silver for the medical expenses, apologize and admit your mistake, and I will not pursue this matter."
Five taels of silver is not too much. These five taels of silver are enough for ordinary people to live for a year. Yao Qingnian ignored her and looked at the people who just spoke and retorted: "Did you see me hitting someone with your own eyes? Are you so sure that I hit her? You have to have evidence when speaking. You can't just say whatever you want. Or do you think I, Yao Qingnian, am too easy to talk to?!"
"He's rolling on the ground in pain, what can be wrong?" the villager said in a low voice.
Yao Qingnian then looked at the other two people who were talking and replied expressionlessly, "And you, I have money that I earned through hard work. What qualifications do you have to point fingers at me and make decisions for me? If you think it's a little bit, you can pay for it on my behalf."
"I...we won't compensate you. We don't have the silver!" This is five taels of silver, not five copper coins. She gave it just because she said so. Besides, they didn't expect that this old lady Zhou was so cruel that she asked for five taels of silver right away.
"Without you guys, why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? I thought you were rich!"
Yao Qingnian's retort left them speechless.
Seeing this, Old Lady Zhou immediately said, "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're good at talking. I'm telling you today, if you don't give me the money, we'll stay here! When my son comes back, he won't be as easy to talk to as me!"
"Qing Nian, her son is not someone you may not want to mess with, and Huai Jin is not at home. If his son comes to our house to make trouble at night, I'm afraid you'll be in danger. Otherwise, let's just forget about this matter today and give them the silver to prevent them from continuing to make trouble. Did mother give them the silver?" Liu Shuyue came close to her and whispered.
"No, mother, this is not a matter of money. Can't you see that they obviously want to cause trouble? If we give them this money today, our family will never have a peaceful life in the future. Don't be afraid, his son is not easy to mess with, and I am not easy to mess with either!" Yao Qingnian knew that Liu Shuyue was afraid that she would suffer a loss and wanted to settle the matter with money, but it was not possible. Even the children of the Zhou family could do such bad things. The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beams are crooked. They are definitely not good people. If they succeed once, they will definitely get worse. Therefore, this money must not be given.
"You can stay here if you want, but you can't stay here for free. It's 100 wen a day. I'll give you a discount for two people, 199 wen, because you two are worth nothing. This house is made of blue bricks, and not everyone can live here!"
"Bah, you are worthless! You are just a shabby house with nothing on it, and you dare to ask for money?"
When Old Lady Zhou said this, the villagers secretly complained, "This is called a broken house? Then what is their adobe house?" She really dared to say that she owed the workers so much money for building a house, and she dared to speak so shamelessly. She was really shameless.
"A broken house. Haha. If mine is a broken house, then what is your house? A toilet?" Yao Qingnian laughed while holding his stomach.
When she laughed, everyone laughed too.
Suddenly a little child rushed in and pounced on Yao Qingnian.
