Chapter 673: Disdainful, he is really a filial son
"Xie Cailian, tell me! Who hurt you? If you don't tell the truth and continue to slander the Lu family, we will have no choice but to send you to the government for investigation!"
"No! I won't go to the government office! Mother! Let's just forget about this!" Xie Cailian walked up to Old Lady Zhou and begged.
"You useless thing, you're so scared by just two words!" Old Lady Zhou said, and slapped her twice. Xie Cailian didn't dare to say a word.
Zhou Lei, who was standing aside, still looked at his mother with disdain. He then came to his grandmother and scolded her, "You are not my mother! You are really not. You are so scared of such a small matter! Grandma, let's ignore her! And this stinky woman! I will not let her go! Let her bully you!"
Zhou Lei is really a filial son. He even dislikes his mother in public.
Old Mrs. Zhou touched his head distressedly: "Okay, dear grandson, grandma knows."
Everyone was shocked by his outrageous words. Thinking of Wang Qinyu, what was there to not understand now? The injuries on Xie Cailian's body were most likely caused by Old Lady Zhou, otherwise how could there be so many of them? If it was an outsider who beat her, with the Zhou family's temper, they would have made a big fuss long ago. Today, it was just Huai Jin's wife who was unlucky, and now they were blackmailed. And with what their family had done recently, everyone was disgusted and asked the village chief to drive them out.
"Okay, now that things are clear! People from the Zhou family, if you make trouble again, I will send you to the government! You, apologize to the Lu family!" the village chief scolded.
"Apologize to her? I won't!" Old lady Zhou's wishful thinking fell through. She was filled with anger and she refused to apologize to this bitch.
"If you refuse, you will be expelled from the village? Then don't blame me! Come! Send them to the county government." The village chief looked at her angrily, with disgust in his eyes.
"No, village chief, I was joking. We were wrong in this matter! It's not just an apology, I'm saying it!" Old Lady Zhou glared at Yao Qingnian reluctantly, then walked up to her and said, "It was me who didn't understand the situation clearly. I listened to a few words from that good-for-nothing Xie and believed them to be true and ran over here, wronging you. But we are all from the same village, we will meet each other sooner or later, and you haven't suffered any loss. Look, my grandson is injured, and I have to take him to see a doctor. He is still a child. It will be troublesome if he gets disabled. I won't bother with you. Let's forget about this matter. If there is nothing else, we will leave first."
After Old Lady Zhou finished her perfunctory speech, the family prepared to leave.
"Stop! Did I agree to let you go? What do you mean by not bothering with me? You can't even apologize?" Yao Qingnian laughed angrily.
"You bitch, don't push your luck. I've already said this, what do you want?"
"Forget about the apology. Your apology is of no use to me and it also polluted my ears. Let's talk about compensation, shall we? Village chief, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law came in and smashed my tofu shop. Moreover, you see, they have delayed us for most of the day. You know our tofu shop business. This delay will cause such a huge loss! In addition to these damaged things, I won't be able to do business in my tofu shop for the next few days. I'm afraid I will have to close it." Yao Qingnian said with a serious look on his face.
"How can that be possible! This tofu shop is not only the Lu family's business, it's everyone's business!" The villagers stood up in indignation.
It's everyone's business. If something happens to the tofu shop, what will happen to the villagers who have grown so many beans at home?
"The Zhou family, hurry up and apologize and compensate the Lu family!"
"You beat your daughter-in-law, and you dare to put the blame on the Lu family! Apologize to the Lu family!"
"The villain filed a complaint first, and even dared to come to the tofu shop to cause trouble!"
"Don't you know that the Lu Family Tofu Shop is related to the livelihood of our entire village? If you don't apologize and compensate, you will never leave this courtyard today!"
"Lu family, don't worry, if the three of them don't apologize and compensate, we will be the first to say no today!"
"Apologize and compensate!"
"Apologize and compensate!"
The villagers who were watching the fun finally reacted. Yes, if they had provoked this tofu shop, they would have been in trouble. If something happened to the tofu shop and Yao Qingnian closed it down, where would they sell their beans in the future? They were still counting on Yao Qingnian to live a good life. Thanks to the Lu family, they had idle land and ridges, and they wished they could all plant beans on them. Last year, almost every family made a lot of money from these little beans.
The Zhou family's actions aroused public outrage. Everyone blocked the door and prevented the Zhou family from leaving. The villagers were already angry about what they did on a daily basis, and coupled with the tofu shop incident, everyone hated the Zhou family and asked them to apologize.
"All of you get out of my way! Otherwise my son will come back and you will be in trouble!"
"Don't scare us with your son! You are our villagers, but to put it bluntly, you are refugees. Our village has been kind enough to take you in, but not only are you ungrateful, you also dare to cause trouble every day. Do you really think that we are afraid of you?"
"Then...what do you want?!" Looking at so many people, Old Lady Zhou became intimidated and asked with a lack of confidence.
"I just said that the minimum price for these things plus the loss compensation is twenty taels of silver. This is because we are all from the same village, so I won't make a fuss about it. If you had agreed just now, wouldn't everything be fine?" Yao Qingnian said with a smile.
"Twenty taels? I don't have it!" Old Mrs. Zhou jumped up when she heard it.
"No? Then I'll add in my losses of the past few days! You smashed my things, and it takes time to re-customize them. The loss is at least ten taels of silver a day, three days at least! Thirty taels, plus these twenty taels, the total is fifty taels!" Yao Qingnian was not talking nonsense. Ten taels a day for her tofu shop was still a conservative estimate. If you really calculate it, it would probably be more than that.
"You are robbing me! Fifty taels! I'm not worth that much even if you sell me!" Old Mrs. Zhou was frightened. This damn girl was so bold.
"It's not up to you to decide whether I robbed or not. If you don't believe me, we can just ask the officials to come and count and check. However, the price won't be this price then. The officials have calculated it, and you can't deny a single cent!" Yao Qingnian looked at them expressionlessly.
"Lu family, we really can't come up with the money. We are refugees who have left our homes. Where can we get the money? Look, why don't we just forget it. We are all neighbors. In the future, we will never bother you." Old Mrs. Zhou said humbly.
