"What did you just say? You just said you wouldn't have let them go if you had known better, right?"
Ye Chuqiu's ears were sharp, but he heard it all at once.
"You heard me wrong, I didn't say anything." Mrs. Qiao said with a guilty conscience.
"Okay, then I'll just pretend you didn't tell me and I'll pay you."
Seeing her like this, Ye Chuqiu didn't know that she deliberately let Wu Ming and the others run away, but she also deliberately ignored them and pretended to only love money.
"Ms. Lin, I know you are very capable, why do you have to embarrass me because of this? I am just a poor commoner, how can I have the money to compensate you? Anyway, I want money and my life, so you have to force us to pay back the money.
Then why not give my life back to you!"
Qiao is also a fierce person. She knows that when it comes to force, she can't do anything to Ye Chuqiu. Even in terms of reasoning, she can't do it. After all, people are also a kind of property at this time. Ye Chuqiu asks her for money.
Couldn't be more appropriate.
So, she simply started to act up, first she cried and shouted, attracting everyone to watch the fun. Ye Chuqiu didn't panic, and just said loudly: "I want this money, and I want to compensate everyone.
Weren’t some villagers robbed by Wu Ming and others before?
Have you? I originally thought of letting them do some work for the village, and compensate them first, and then sell them to the dock to work as coolies after the farming was busy, but who knew that the Cai family let them go on purpose? Let me tell you,
Is it wrong for me to seek compensation from them?"
"I didn't let them go on purpose, they ran away on their own."
"Oh, then I want to ask, why didn't they run away when they were working at other people's homes, but why did they run away when they were at your home? It's busy farming now, and if anyone's home is not short of people to work, let's talk about Wang Er
Brother Wang's second brother got seriously ill last year and couldn't work in the fields. The second sister-in-law is the only one who supports the family. Isn't there a shortage of labor in their family?
Since the head of the village has distributed the labor to you first, you have the responsibility to take care of it. What's the use of acting havoc here now?
The villagers are kind, benevolent and righteous, and will not argue with you. But I, Lin Ye, want to argue with you, because there must be a few more serious people in this world. Otherwise, everyone will say forget it.
Honest people suffer?"
"Yes, what Mrs. Lin said makes sense."
Hearing Ye Chuqiu's words, the villagers talked a lot, especially her last sentence, "If everyone said it, wouldn't it make the honest people suffer?" It deeply moved everyone, especially some honest people in the village.
, at this moment, a warm current can't help but flow through my heart.
"Second Brother Wang's family is so poor. He can't do any work. He relies on his mother-in-law alone and has three children. Their family is the most in need of labor."
"I don't know how the head of the village divided the labor, but he actually gave the labor to the Cai family first. The Cai family runs a grocery store and is not short of money."
"It has nothing to do with the chief. The chief doesn't dare to offend such a shrew. I think she is the one who forces the chief."
Mrs. Qiao originally wanted to provoke Ye Chuqiu to confront the villagers, hoping that everyone would think that Ye Chuqiu was too domineering and cause dissatisfaction among the villagers. Who knew that Ye Chuqiu's few words only made the villagers point fingers at her.
"Ms. Qiao, I think Mrs. Lin is right. Those three laborers are the property of the village. They are livestock like cattle and horses. If you lose them, you should pay compensation."
The person who spoke was Aunt Pei, the butcher's wife in the village. Her husband was a butcher of pigs. She was tall and strong, and she was strong and powerful. She was considered the number one figure in the village. That's why at this moment, Aunt Pei dared to stand up and speak.
"Who do you think you are? I want you to take care of me!"
But Ms. Qiao was already upset by the villagers' pointing fingers. Now that she saw someone dared to accuse her face to face, she became aggressive and cursed without thinking.
"You little bitch, a rotten bitch, how dare you scold me? It's your fault in the first place. You relied on your good looks to hook up with the head of the house and let the head of the house give his labor to your family first. He's a king.
The second brother is lying on the bed, and it’s not even the family’s turn, so why should it be your turn? You’re just relying on this face to flirt around in the village all day long!”
Aunt Pei was already dissatisfied with Mrs. Qiao, but when she heard that she dared to scold her, she immediately scolded her back.
"You old godly woman, don't talk nonsense here. Who did I seduce? My family runs a grocery store and I don't have time to farm. So what if I need manpower?!"
"If you don't have time to farm, just don't farm. You're amazing when you open a grocery store. You spend all day licking your face, calling this brother, that brother. Why, your mother has three women, how can she give birth to so many sons?
!”
When it comes to swearing, Aunt Pei is not someone to be trifled with. The swear words she spouted out were as if she was singing a show, which really amazed Ye Chuqiu on the side.
"The people in the village are older than me, so what if I call me brother? Don't slander my reputation here!" Mrs. Qiao replied, but it was obvious that her fighting ability was far inferior to Aunt Pei's.
"Tsk tsk, you know that the men in the village are older than your man? You are really capable. I have tried this, and it is true. Look at your man's face is pockmarked and his body is not as tall as a bench. Which man is not better than your man? I'll help you.
You usually open a grocery store and call me brother everywhere. Is it because you miss a man?"
Aunt Pei's voice was loud and fast. Before Qiao could interrupt, she continued to curse: "Do you need three people to cultivate your two acres of land? Or do you need a man to cultivate your own piece of wasteland?
Working hard?
Yo yo yo, no wonder, no wonder the laborers in other people’s homes didn’t go away, but in your home the laborers ran away. Why, we worked together on your land and felt comfortable. You were so full of love that you let them go.
chant!"
Aunt Pei's naughty words made the men around her burst into laughter. The woman also covered her mouth and laughed softly. Ye Chuqiu also took a step back. These married women should not be offended.
"You are talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart!"
Hearing the laughter and ridicule around her, Ms. Qiao's face immediately turned red, almost red enough to bleed. She was considered a top woman in the village. She had never been humiliated like this before. She immediately got up from the ground and bared her teeth.
The ground rushed towards Aunt Pei.
Aunt Pei was not someone to be trifled with. When she saw her coming towards her, she kicked her to the ground, then sat down on her and slapped her twice.
Mrs. Qiao is thin and has only been running the grocery store and has not done much menial work in the past few years. However, Aunt Pei is a strong woman with a big frame and a muscular body. Over the years, she has done everything in the fields. On weekdays, her men kill pigs.
, she had to help hold it down and exert her strength, and the two Qiaos were no match for her.
"You are a dead man, just watching your mother-in-law being beaten by others?!"
Mrs. Qiao covered her face and looked at her man, Cai Dalang, angrily.
Cai Dalang was obedient. This Aunt Pei was a strong woman, and he couldn't beat her. While hesitating, he heard Aunt Pei say again, "Cai Dalang, men had better not interfere in matters between women. Otherwise, if my family kills pigs,
If you get involved, things will get bigger, don’t you think?”
