Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Chapter 175 Are You Devils?

After they ran a long way, they turned around and didn't see the old woman anymore, so they stopped.

Thinking of the old lady's shocked and speechless expression, the two felt happy.

Damn old woman, I thought her daughter-in-law was the Duan Minniang who was so cute that she could do whatever she wanted because she couldn't have children.

It's really infuriating to say that Duan Minniang was very arrogant to others and her three children just because she didn't give birth to a son. No matter how her in-laws bullied her, she could endure it.

I really don't know what to say about her. Not only is her life miserable, but the three girls' lives are even more difficult because of her.

Fortunately, they are here now.

After resting for a while, the two of them slowly walked towards home. They were too lazy to look for the children, so they decided to let them come back by themselves later.

Old Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she was gasping for breath. Several women who saw what happened nearby came over to persuade her.

"Oh, Auntie, why are you still talking to Duan Minniang like this? Your daughter-in-law is a big shot now. She has opened a factory and is doing business. You have to be nicer to her."

"Yes, they are probably doing very well now. My man can earn more than twenty cents a day there."

What? Mrs. Zhao didn't care to be angry anymore.

When the village chief went around the village to inform Duan Minniang and Zheng Baozhu that he wanted to recruit people, her family was dismissive. They thought that a widow whose husband had died could do anything.

Maybe she wanted to save face by tricking these villagers into accompanying her in doing stupid things, so that they won't be able to get a penny out of them when the time comes.

Unexpectedly, these people could earn twenty cents a day, which is something many men could not earn in a day by carrying heavy bags in the town.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao became a little unconvinced again.

"Don't talk nonsense, can she be that capable? If she really is that capable, why didn't she give birth to a male child for our Yuandong? Why did she kill my poor Yuandong?"

Several women were speechless. This old lady, no matter how capable she was in giving birth to children, could she really give birth to a boy if she wanted one, or a girl if she wanted one.

"Besides, I advise you not to get involved with her. I know how capable Duan Minniang is. Finally, if she cheats you and you can't pay her, don't come to our house and cry. We have nothing to do with them."

"Tsk!" The woman who just said her husband worked there said, "Aunt, you don't know, they collected a lot of walnuts before, and they paid for it right on the spot. Everyone working there saw it."

"And didn't you see that they just spent thirty coins each? Who in this village is so generous as to spend thirty coins at once?"

"And, and!" another woman interrupted, "Mr. Jiang who came with them just now also hung up twenty coins. I heard that he hung up the coin for their sake."

"Aunt, you may not know this, but Mr. Jiang is the young master of a big business outside. He came here specifically to do business with them. Their business is actually done for the Jiang family."

"Have you seen the clothes that Mr. Jiang is wearing? It is said to be made of Yuehua brocade. A set of clothes must cost several taels of silver."

"Aunt, Duan Minniang and Zheng Baozhu are very powerful now. You should be nicer to Duan Minniang."

After saying that, the woman gave another earnest piece of advice.

"Bah! Why should I treat her better? She didn't leave any offspring for Yuandong, and she killed Yuandong. I was kind enough not to let her go with us to Yuandong!"

When talking about Old Mrs. Zhao, her voice got louder, as if this daughter-in-law owed them a debt.

Seeing that she was full of energy and didn't look like anything was wrong, several people didn't want to talk to her anymore and simply walked away with a laugh.

Some people really gave her opportunities but she didn't seize them.

They had heard that Zheng Baozhu's old lady and her family of three could earn twenty cents a day by working there as supervisors.

This old lady Zhao, her whole family combined, probably can't earn that much in a day, but she's still so arrogant. But they weren't talkative, and since this person wouldn't listen, there was no point in them saying more.

After those people walked away, Old Mrs. Zhao calmed down and thought carefully about what they had just said.

He recalled the Duan Minniang he had just met, and it seemed like she had become a completely different person.

Not to mention anything else, in the past she was the only one who scolded Duan Minniang, and Duan Minniang dared not say a word. But today she even dared to join Zheng Baozhu, that little bitch, in scolding her.

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Zhao became angry again.

Could it be that he really made money? So he felt that he was strong enough to resist him.

I heard that there are thirty people there. According to what that person said, each person can earn twenty cents a day. How much money will those thirty people spend in a day?

In the past, the Zhao family had heard a lot of gossip about the two of them from the villagers, such as how she was as close to Zheng Baozhu as one person, how she made money by selling ice jelly, and how she ate meat every day.

But the family didn't take it to heart, always thinking that the villagers were just too boring and they had nothing to say.

In addition, Duan Minmin's family lives near the entrance of the village, while the Zhao family lives near the end of the village, so the two families generally have no intersection.

Even last time someone reported that they had a fight with Niu Laizi, the whole family was unwilling to show their faces and did not want to have anything to do with them.

But now that I say this today, it seems like I have indeed heard a lot of things about this unlucky Duan Minniang recently.

No, if it is really as they say, then we can't let her waste our money like this.

Old Mrs. Zhao had automatically classified the things in Duan Minmin's hands as her own, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

Old Mrs. Zhao thought for a while, then ran to find Old Mr. Zhao, wanting to discuss the matter with the old man to find out the truth.

Mr. Zhao was drinking with a few old men. He was a little drunk and his voice became louder.

Old Mrs. Zhao went up the mountain to pull him back, but he yelled at her, saying that it was unlawful for a woman to meddle in a man's affairs and told her to go back and feed the pigs.

There were still many people in the yard who had not left the banquet or were helping out. When they heard the noise, they all looked over.

With so many people watching, Mrs. Zhao couldn't bear it anymore. She stamped her feet and went home without saying anything more.

This old man doesn't do any work and just drinks.

Forget it, she should go home and talk to the brothers Yuannan and Yuanxi.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin, who had already returned home, didn't know what was going on. They ran around feeding the pigs and chickens. After feeding Zheng and Duan Minmin's family, they came back to feed Zheng Yuan's family.

The food has arrived at home, and the livestock have gained a lot of weight. Looking at the pigs eating happily, both of them feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Little pig, little pig, eat quickly, so you can have it on the table in winter."

"Yes, then we can make sausages, bacon, and ham. Oh, you have to grow up."

The little pig who was eating couldn't understand what the two people were saying, otherwise he would have stood up and scolded them, "Are you devils?"

After feeding the pigs, we returned to the front yard and the children also came back one after another.

Looking at everyone sweating profusely, you can tell that they are having a lot of fun. This is what childhood should be like.

Tomorrow is market day, so the mother and her friends prepared everything together before going back to sleep.

As for Mr. Jiang, he didn't come over, so he must have gone to rest. The two of them didn't plan to go and see him.

Anyway, with a bodyguard like Jiang Shui, Mr. Jiang is much safer than them.
