stingy landlady

Chapter 130 Conjunctivitis Cured (1)

Guizhi felt a pang of regret for the money she had just received before saying to Xu Hong:

"Alright then, Uncle Xu Hong! Even though there are five of them, we should still build a few more houses. Let's start with ten thatched huts! Each hut will be equipped with a set of bedding!"

A thatched hut comes with a set of blankets; a husband and wife only need one blanket! As for needing more, or having children, they can earn that themselves through hard work!

Guizhi felt like she was being treated like a modern person! Free meals, free lodging, and even arranged blind dates! It was incredibly generous!

"Uncle Xu Hong! We don't tolerate idlers here! You can't be too lenient with these two women who came today. Once they've settled in and recovered, you should assign them some work to do!"

For example, feeding the chickens and ducks! Cleaning, washing Uncle Xu Hong's clothes, cooking meals, etc.! The main thing is to make people feel like they're at home!

"Of course, it would be even better if two fine young men could be chosen from among us to marry!"

After saying that, he joked with Xu Hong.

"All this carrying and lifting! Does Uncle Xu Hong have any sense of responsibility? If you pay a little more attention, he might just offer himself to you!"

Xu Hong's ears turned red:

"Miss! You're the one who asked me to carry you! I should repay your life-saving grace!"

This concerns the young lady's reputation, so we should be careful!

"Oh my! You're already feeling sorry for her! Uncle Xu Hong! I'm rooting for you! I hope you'll bring Aunt Xu home soon! Hehehe!"

After returning home, Guihong told her family about how Qian Xiaodi had spent money to send the bald scoundrel to cause trouble in the grass and trees, and how Qian Shi wanted to take advantage of the family's lack of descendants!

Both Li and Guixiang felt a lingering fear.

"That damned Qian! I treated her with all my heart! And she actually hired someone to humiliate my daughter! Luckily Guixiang didn't go today! Otherwise, if anyone ever mentions it, it will damage Guixiang's reputation!"

Gui Hong said angrily:

"That bald scoundrel kept calling Jixiang 'Da Ya'! I was so angry I wanted to grab a kitchen knife and chop him up! But I'm too young to beat him! I can't stand not being able to slap him a few times!"

Gui Xiang said with lingering fear:

"Thanks to Guizhi for bringing Lin Yi to protect us! Otherwise, I don't know how we would have ended up today!"

Gui Hong said to Da Zhu:

"Father! Young Master Zheng and Young Master Liu didn't stand idly by either. They ordered their servants to fetch the yamen runners! That's how they got them flogged, so they'll never dare to offend us again!"

Thinking of Wang Yiyun, Li asked:

"Where's your fifth uncle? Is your fifth uncle here?"

"They weren't afraid of my fifth uncle at all! My fifth uncle was so angry that all he could say was, 'Is there no law anymore?' He was just furious! Besides, my fifth uncle was a weak scholar; what could he do when he encountered that scoundrel?"

Li said with concern:

"What will happen then? What if those thugs come looking for trouble again? What will you young girls do? Not only will your reputation be ruined, but I'm afraid they won't even spare you!"

"Once those bad guys have their eyes on you, can you still do business with them?"

Li gritted her teeth in hatred just thinking about it.

"Our fast food shop is doing just fine! We've been running it for so long without any problems! How can you be so jealous! You're determined to ruin our business!"

Dazhu glared at Li Shi and said angrily:

"How dare you talk about others like that! Don't you ever think about who brought this trouble upon themselves?"

Li refused to listen and shouted:

"It's all your fault! Those are your own brothers and sisters-in-law! If I had known they were all heartless and ruthless, I wouldn't have let them in the door! They still want to eat here and stay here? No way!"

Dazhu looked at Li's unreasonable behavior and felt exhausted!

"Alright, alright! Now you all see their true colors. Be more careful from now on! Guihong, stay with everyone from now on and don't go off on your own! Otherwise, they'll take advantage of you!"

I'm going to the old house now to talk to my parents! That Qian woman is too vicious! She did things without any humanity whatsoever!

I wonder if my third brother knows! If he does, it's truly disheartening!

Dazhu got up and headed towards the old house, with Guihong now acting as his little follower! She followed closely behind!

The old man has really been working himself to the bone these past few days! Luckily, Dazhu sent people to help, otherwise I really don't know when we would have been able to finish farming!

The old lady was sewing shoe soles on the kang (a heated brick bed). Farming wore out the shoes! The old man's shoe soles were all worn through, and his toes were showing! The old man, like a playful old child, stretched out his big toe to show the old lady.

"Old woman! Look! Look! These feet can talk! Hello! Have you eaten yet?"

As he spoke, he tapped his big toe against his shoe, making a rhythmic sound that made the old lady laugh uncontrollably!

"At such an old age, you still have no manners! You're getting more and more like a child as you get older!"

When Dazhu and Guihong arrived, they heard laughter coming from inside the house! Dazhu paused briefly, but still walked in with a determined look on his face!

"Hey, Dazhu's here!"

The old man was playing around on the ground. When he saw Dazhu, he called out to Dazhu before sitting down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

The old lady snorted coldly:

"Hmph! Busy man, the sun must have risen in the west! What brings you to our house today!"

"Father! Mother!"

The old man rolled his eyes at the old woman and said:

"That's just how your mother is! Dazhu! Don't take it to heart! Just say what's on your mind! While your father can still move around and still manage things!"

Dazhu hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Father and Mother! You are both so old, your son shouldn't be a burden to you!"

The old lady was quick-witted:

"Hmph! You said you wouldn't cause trouble, but you still came! Just say what you want, stop stammering like a girl!"

This time, Dazhu didn't hesitate and told the two old people everything that had happened in town!

The old lady understood and casually said:

"The Qian family is truly skilled! Compared to them, the Zhao family is nothing but a small fry! They're not even in the same league!"

The old man said angrily:

"What nonsense are you spouting! That Qian woman doesn't care about the third son or her husband's family at all! She should be divorced!"

That Zhao woman is no good either! Wasn't it because of her that the eldest son's wife miscarried last time? With this household in such turmoil, how can life possibly be good?

They say harmony in the family brings prosperity! This matter can't be left unresolved! Send a message to the third son! Tell him to come back and have a word with him! He needs to give Dazhu an explanation!

The old lady muttered:

"You're all talk and no action! The third son's family has two children. If you divorce Qian, what will happen to those two children? As if you can support them!"

The old man slammed his hand on the table and said:

"We can't divorce her, but we can't let her off the hook either! She can write and draw, right? Make her write a guarantee that she's never allowed to have any designs on Dazhu's family again!"

And don't you dare try to mess with Gui Xiang and the others! They've all gone astray! If there's a next time, she'll definitely divorce them without mercy!

I'll raise both kids myself! At least they have a father!
