175: Greedy

 

 

 

 

Woo Hoo I just touched my first goal in Ko-Fi thanks to Oiyin and so, here is a bonus chapter!!!

 

Zhulan looked at Li Shi, this was also an enlightenment. Although it didn’t work sometimes, she was very satisfied. “Yes.”

 

Li Shi was angry. She hated Sun Shi in her heart, and she didn’t want to see Wang Ru, a poisonous girl. So she said harshly: “Zheng Shi must ask for more money and cannot give it to Wang Ru cheaply.”

 

Otherwise, she would not be able to relieve her anger.

 

Zhulan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Zheng Shi will definitely ask for more money. Who in the village doesn’t know that Wang Ru can give out two hundred taels.”

 

Trapping herself, the person she admired the most was Wang Ru. So greedy, those of the Zheng family. If a fat sheep came to the door, not taking advantage would be disrespectful to their ancestors!

 

Li Shi smiled happily and felt comfortable, “Mom, let me ask for how much money the house was sold.”

 

Zhao Shi called her dàsǎo, “Sǎozi, Zheng Shi will not tell how much money she earned from selling the house. She is not stupid.”

 

Li Shi sat down again. Come to think of it, Zheng Shi was indeed not stupid. If you didn’t have any foundation in the village, it was better not to show off and get into trouble easily. Not everyone was as stupid and careless as Fourth Wang. She figured it out. Li Shi’s eyes were shining. She seemed to have become smarter. She looked at her mother-in-law from the corner of her eye and slowly moved closer to her. She must spend more time with her mother-in-law. Her son always said that those who were close to red were red and those who were close to ink were black. She was smart because she was infected by her mother-in-law!

 

Zhulan silently looked at Li Shi who almost touched her, with a strong greasy feeling, and then looked at her shining little eyes. She finally got smart and returned to her original shape!

 

Zhao Shi looked at her mother-in-law’s helpless expression and suppressed a smile. Her mother was also in front of her dàsǎo, with a very lively expression. In fact, it was good for her to do this, as it could bring a lot of life to the family!

 

In the morning, the Zheng family finished moving. No one in the village asked how much money the house was sold for. They only knew that the Zheng family bought the dilapidated house of the Wang family, and the whole family lived in it.

 

In the afternoon, a lot of blue bricks and tiles were pulled next door, and people came to measure the dimensions and make wardrobes. They all knew that Wang Ru was going to renovate the house.

 

The next door had been busy for half a month. The next door had finally been completed. The roof had been replaced with blue tiles. It was said that the floor in the house was no longer earth, but was fully paved with blue tiles. There were also built-in wardrobes in the house. No one had ever seen this before. The style, of course, the most eye-catching thing was that the fence was also made of blue bricks, and the height was higher than that of Zhulan’s house. Zhulan’s visual inspection said that it was about nine feet.

 

Wang Ru put a lot of thought into safety. The front door and the door were all newly made.

 

Li Shi walked around with others, and when she came back, she always talked about how nice the renovations next door were. However, Li Shi didn’t bother to renovate her own house because she knew in her heart that her family would move out the next year.

 

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Wang Ru to move. Li Shi went to see the excitement and came back to breathe, “Mom, there are three big dogs next door. I don’t know where Wang Ru got them.”

 

Zhulan, “As long as you have money this. It’s not a big deal.”

 

Li Shi was curious, “Mom, it’s said that a lot of money was spent on the renovation of the next door. How much money does Wang Ru have in her hand?”

 

Zhulan thought that she also wanted to know, ” Why are you asking me, how should I know?”

 

Li Shi was just about to get closer to her mother-in-law when Wang Xin came to the door with some restraint, “Grandma Zhou, hello Aunt Zhou.”

 

Zhulan looked at Wang Xin, and the girl was dressed like Wang Ru. Yes, look at the makeup on her face, which was also done by Wang Ru. She became more beautiful, and her eyes became different. The last time Wang Xin hid behind her sister, she didn’t notice it. This time she came into contact with her, and she didn’t like it, “What’s the matter?”

 

She knew that Wang Ru, living next door, wouldn’t stay quiet. Unfortunately, they couldn’t drive Wang Ru away. If they took too many actions, Wang Ru would become vigilant. After some consideration, she thought it might be better to keep an eye on her, preventing her from causing trouble from a distance.

 

Wang Xin was holding the basket in her hand, which contained cakes. “Our sisters moved to live next door, and we will be neighbors with Grandma Zhou in the future. I came to visit and hope that Grandma Zhou can take care of us more in the future.”

 

Li Shi already didn’t like Wang Xin because she resembled Sun Shi. After hearing these words, her dislike grew stronger. “Our two families have no relationship. We didn’t object when you moved in; that’s already showing goodwill. Don’t talk about distant relatives being worse than close neighbors. Your sisters’ reputation is clear in your hearts. It’s better not to visit in the future. Just leave quickly!”

 

Li Shi was selfish. She also had a daughter, and there were many girls in the family. How could the Wang sisters come to the house and affect the reputation of the Zhou family’s girls? She’s still asking to be taken care of, bah, she’s not satisfied even after borrowing the light, she’s even greedier than her!

 

Zhulan didn’t try to dissuade Li Shi from harboring resentment. When Li Shi retorted, she felt it was inappropriate, but Li Shi insisted, “Everyone in the village knows what your family is planning with the Zhengs. Allowing you to stay here is already our generosity. Take care of yourselves, don’t come back again.”

 

Wang Xin’s face turned red, her joy of living in a new house was gone. The resentment in her heart had been accumulated for a long time and had long since turned into hatred. She hated Wang Ru for implicating her reputation, and her eyes were red, “I, there is no other meaning.”

 

Li Shi couldn’t stand the almost-fainting, about-to-cry appearance of Wang Xin. She frowned, “If you’re going to faint, do it at home. Don’t think about relying on our family. Hurry up and leave, or I’ll use a stick to drive you out.”

 

Zhulan looked at Li Shi with a dark face and scolded her but didn’t take any action. There was a smile in her eyes. This person said she was powerful but didn’t take any action. Li Shi was kind in her heart and knew the truth. If you beat Wang Xin out, this girl’s reputation will become even worse.

 

Wang Xin clenched her fists, no matter how angry she was, she didn’t dare to let it out. She couldn’t afford to offend the Zhou family. She originally thought that the Zhou family didn’t cause any harm. She could take the opportunity to get in touch with the Zhou family and use the Zhou family to change her reputation. Unexpectedly, the Zhou family would not give her a chance. So she lowered her head, “I’ll leave now.”

 

Zhulan frowned, she still liked Wang Rong better, and sometimes the more cowardly people were, the more hateful things they did.

 

Li Shi watched her leave and quickly closed the door, “Mom, I don’t like Wang Daya. This girl is just like her mother. She’s annoying.”

 

Zhao Shi’s hands picking bracken paused, and she looked at her dàsǎo. People see with their hearts, but dàsǎo was intuitive. Don’t look at how a dàsǎo may act here and there all day long, and she was still willing to gossip with others. But everyone who was really close to her had a good character. Some people were born with intuition, which was enviable.

 

Zhulan lowered her head and looked at the picked bracken, “You go buy a pound of meat and come back and make bracken stir-fry at noon.”

 

Li Shi was overjoyed and stretched out her hand to her dìmèi, “Dìmèi, give me some money and I’ll buy the meat.

 

Zhao Shi wiped her hands and stood up, “I’ll get it right now. “

 

Zhulan chuckled happily. This was perfect; she didn’t have to worry about anything. Seeing many ferns on the ground that hadn’t been picked, these were collected by her eldest and second eldest sons when they went up the mountain to gather firewood. She also wanted to go up the mountain and take a look, but she had been afraid of snakes and hadn’t dared to go. Reflecting on it, many novel female protagonists were truly formidable, and unafraid of snakes while making a living. Well, she was genuinely scared, terrified at the thought of encountering one!
