565 Tell Me If You Can
Before Xia Zhe could say anything, there was a shout from afar.
“You don’t even look in the mirror before you say that others are heartless! Do you really think you’re anything good!” Auntie Dong rushed over with a big group of people.
These were all the people who wanted to learn how to grow bean sprouts from Qiao Mei. Last night, Auntie Dong had gone from house to house to ask around. People who were close to Qiao Mei in the past had all rushed over.
“What does the matter between our family and Qiao Mei have to do with you people! What are you doing passing comments around here!” Wang Qin shouted.
Auntie Dong looked like she had heard the biggest joke in the world. A few women surrounded Wang Qin and Liu Ying.
Qiao Mei had helped them to make money. Moreover, Qiao Mei did not ask for anything in return, and just helped them sincerely and genuinely. They had not been able to repay her kindness so far.
So, Qiao Mei’s family business was their business. Whoever made things difficult for Qiao Mei was also making things difficult for them!
“Everyone knows what’s going on in your house! There’s no need for you to cause trouble here. We all heard Qiao Yu’s screams last night. No one is deaf!” Auntie Wang shouted.
“That’s right! In the past, your family always asked Qiao Yu to go to other people’s houses to ask for food. Qiao Mei was the one who gave her the most! If not for Qiao Mei, your family would have starved to death long ago! Will you still be able to come and make trouble for others?” Auntie Dong continued.
Wang Qin had never been surrounded and insulted by so many people before. It was simply too embarrassing!
She had two sons and a daughter. Her youngest daughter was only eight years old. Even if the Guo family did not want Qiao Yu, the burden would still not fall on her family.
The Guo family had said that if this marriage was successfully concluded, they would give Wang Qin 100 dollars as a thank-you gift. If not for this 100 dollars, she would not have worked so hard for this matter that was totally unrelated to her.
“It’s none of your business what happens in my family! About that, Qiao Yu was the one who did something wrong, it’s not like we have nothing better to do! That girl Qiao Yu has confessed everything. She said that she came to look for Qiao Mei so that she did not have to marry into the Guo family! If you don’t give me an explanation today, I definitely won’t leave!” Wang Qin shouted.
“Pfft! Are we supposed to believe what you say about why Qiao Yu came to look for Qiao Mei? Do you have evidence! Do you have witnesses! You’re slandering others without any evidence!” Auntie Wang spat at Wang Qin after saying that.
“So what if there are no witnesses! I just know what Qiao Yu said! I don’t care, I have to see Qiao Mei today! I want her to confirm it with me!” Wang Qin said.
Auntie Dong stood in front of Qiao Mei’s door and said, “You still want to enter Qiao Mei’s house? See if you can get past me!”
As the saying went, a pair of fists were no match for four hands. Moreover, there were so many people here.
Liu Ying did not say anything and just stood at the side to watch the commotion. If Qiao Yu was not the one who got married, then Qiao Hua would have to get married! She did not know who would feel more unhappy about that!
“Say something! Am I the one who’s afraid that my daughter will have to get married or are you the one! If you don’t say anything, then I don’t care anymore!” Wang Qin whispered as she grabbed Liu Ying.
“There are so many people, we can’t beat them! Besides, Qiao Mei hasn’t come out yet. Why don’t we go back!” Liu Ying said timidly.
In the past, Liu Ying would still go around making threatening gestures. Now, she was actually being overcautious!
Wang Qin secretly regretted coming over with Liu Ying today. It might have been better to come with the third son’s wife, Jiang Ye!
“What? Are the two of you plotting about how to make your way home?” Auntie Dong said mockingly.
Wang Qin could not take this insult lying down. She pointed at Auntie Dong and shouted, “Don’t think that I don’t have any evidence on your family! If you know what’s good for you, get lost quickly! Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer!”
When Auntie Dong heard this, she became even angrier. Her husband was well-known in the entire village for being good at his job. Other people took a long time to harvest rice, but not only was her husband able to do it fast, he also did a much better job than others!
Even if the things grown in their own fields could not be said to be the best in the village, they were at least one of the best!
Even so, his work points were not as high as Qiao Gui’s! It was all because Qiao Gui was Wang Qin’s husband. Wang Qin alone had the final say in how the work points were tabulated, so she could change them however she wanted!
“If you have the guts, just say it! What wicked things have my family done!” Auntie Dong said.
Wang Qin stammered and was unable to say anything. She was just trying to scare Auntie Dong, but she did not expect this old woman to be unmoved by both force and persuasion! She was really a tough nut to crack!
