Chapter 793 - 793 Coming to Cause Trouble
793 Coming to Cause Trouble
“Mei Mei! You’re really the God of Fortune of our village! Oh my goodness! I sold 750 pounds! I have 675 dollars! Is this true! Pinch me quick!” Auntie Dong got the people beside her to pinch her so hard that her arms turned red.
Everyone was so happy that they almost shouted out “Long live Qiao Mei”. In the past, every family had to save up for many years to get an amount of 400 dollars. Some families might not even be able to save up so much money in their entire lives.
Qiao Mei had helped everyone to make so much money in one go. Everyone’s faces were filled with smiles and hope. Every family could eat their fill. This had fulfilled Qiao Mei’s initial wish.
“Everyone, don’t be too happy yet! I have something to tell everyone. I’m going to the capital soon. I hope everyone can help me with my family’s matters! Don’t go around telling others about us earning money. If I’m not in the village and get investigated, I won’t be able to come back. Don’t show off your wealth. Everyone, you must be careful!” Qiao Mei said.
In this era, there were still many poor people around. If their village suddenly became rich, it would definitely attract the envy of other villages. It would not be good if they attracted trouble.
After discussing the important issues, everyone started to collect their money one after another. There were also many people who wanted to buy seeds. Everyone went to Qiao Mei’s place to buy six pounds of seeds. After reaping the benefits, they definitely wanted to plant as many seeds as they could.
“Qiao Mei! Get out here!” Wang Qin shouted as she stood at the door of the courtyard.
Everyone was busy with their own things and no one paid Wang Qin any attention. No one had the time to care about this crazy woman now. Her husband was an arsonist and her son was almost a murderer. Her entire family members were all nasty people and they wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.
No one wanted to be associated with this family!
“Are you deaf! Didn’t you hear me calling out to you!” Seeing that everyone was ignoring her, Wang Qin arrogantly walked up to Qiao Mei and shouted at her.
Qiao Mei raised her head slowly and said, “I’m not selling it to you.”
“Who wants your lousy seeds! Do you think I care!” Wang Qin said disdainfully.
“If you don’t want to buy, then leave quickly! Don’t waste our time!” Auntie Dong pushed Wang Qin away impatiently.
Wang Qin’s anger flared up and she behaved like a shrew and pushed Auntie Dong. Auntie Dong was not someone who could be bullied easily, so the two of them started fighting in the courtyard.
Of course Wang Qin was at a disadvantage. The men did not want to get involved in beating up the women. Auntie Wang and Auntie Zhou, who were on good terms with Qiao Mei, as well as a few other women who were on good terms with the rest of them, all surrounded Wang Qin and beat her up.
Her clothes were almost torn off and her hair was in a mess. No one wanted to look at her.
When Zhao Liang saw that they had gone overboard, he shouted, “Stop! If you have something to say, just say it! Don’t fight!”
“She hit me first! Who do you think you are! When the village was in trouble, you just sat back and reaped the benefits! Now that we’re having a better life, you want to stop us! Who do you think you are!” Auntie Dong shouted angrily.
In the past, everyone was afraid that if they offended Wang Qin, she would deduct their work points. This directly affected the issue of whether each family could eat their fill, so they had always been polite to her. Now that everyone could support their families by selling seeds, they were naturally not afraid of her anymore.
“I’m here to talk to Qiao Mei! Who do you think you are! Stop interrupting me with your lowly mouth!” Wang Qin pointed at Auntie Dong and scolded her.
Qiao Mei really could not stand it anymore. She got up and slapped Wang Qin so hard that Wang Qin saw stars and immediately fell to the ground.
She had not even gone to look for Wang Qin about what happened to Zhang Qin. Now that Wang Qin had come knocking on her door, she did not intend to be polite. Auntie Dong had been beaten up for trying to help her, so she had to stand up for Auntie Dong now.
“How dare you hit me!” Wang Qin looked at Qiao Mei in disbelief.
“Yes I dare to! I haven’t even settled the score with you for your son hurting my younger sister, yet you still dare to come here and behave so atrociously today? Bring me my sister’s medical expenses, nutrition fees, tuition fees and compensation for emotional damage. Otherwise, get lost and go as far away as you can go!” Qiao Mei said.
At the mention of money, Wang Qin chickened out. She only had about 10 dollars left and all the money the family had was used to pay off Qiao Gui’s debts. Qiao Zhuang had even plundered some of it.
She had originally wanted to ask for an explanation on behalf of her son, but she did not expect to be insulted by Qiao Mei instead. The villagers were all on Qiao Mei’s side now and no one would help her.
“Why should I give you money! My son can’t go to school now! He can’t go to school in the future! You have to give me an explanation!” Wang Qin shouted at the top of her lungs.
