Chapter 183 A thief broke into Moxiangzhai
Seeing this, Aunt Ning suddenly took a few steps back.
"You, do you know how to wash the pot? The dirty water splashed all over me. This is the new coat my son just bought for me! I think what Chen Guixiang said is absolutely right. You are a shrew who doesn't know the respect for elders. How can you talk to your elders like that!"
Jiang Yuwei picked up the pot-scrubbing broom and pointed at Aunt Ning San and said angrily:
"What kind of elder are you? You old woman who crawled out of some graveyard and tried to claim to be my relative. Do you think I am stupid and rich? The four mu of land next to the Liu family's land is all stone! I don't know how many years it has been barren. It is estimated that it has been ownerless for a long time. Humph, you dare to ask me for ten taels of silver!"
Jiang Yuwei walked around from the stove to Ning Sangu, pointed at her nose and continued to curse:
"You think everyone else is stupid and you're the only smart one, right? I didn't mean to expose your mistake, but you're just talking about my family affairs. It's none of your business what kind of life my family leads. I think you're just meddling in other people's business!"
Jiang Yuwei pressed on step by step as she spoke, forcing Ning Sangu to retreat again and again, apparently frightened by Jiang Yuwei's momentum.
"You, you, don't come over here! Don't do anything! Ahhhh..."
When Aunt Ning San saw Jiang Yuwei holding up the broom in her hand, she was so scared that she ran out of the courtyard crying and howling. As she ran, she turned back and cried and said harsh words:
"You, you wait for Jiang Yuwei!"
Liu heard the noise in the front yard and hurried over to check.
"Yuwei, what's going on?"
Jiang Yuwei waved her hands helplessly.
"It's okay. I chased Third Aunt Ning away just now."
Liu covered her mouth in shock and said:
"Ah, how could that be? She didn't do anything to you, did she? Are you hurt?"
As she said that, Liu stepped forward and took Jiang Yuwei's hand to see if she was injured.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei patted Liu's shoulder and said with a smile:
"I'm fine, nothing happened to me. She's already an old woman over 50 years old, how could I suffer any harm at her hands?"
Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jiang Yuwei say this.
"Then why did you two quarrel for no reason?"
Jiang Yuwei pursed her lips to signal Liu to look towards the back mountain.
"I bought your few acres of wasteland last time, and I don't know where she got it from. Today, she also wants me to buy her land, saying that the land is four acres next to yours, and she asked me for ten taels of silver."
After hearing this, Liu thought about it carefully before speaking:
"That's not right. I remember that Aunt Ning San's family didn't have any land on the back hill. Where did these four acres of land come from? And it's right next to my land?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"Who said it wasn't true? If I didn't know there was four acres of wasteland next to your house, I might have been fooled by her today."
Liu thought about this and frowned:
"No wonder, when I came out just now, Aunt Ning hurriedly sent me away. It turns out that she was waiting for you here. But, we are all from the same village. If this matter is exposed, can't you just go to her house directly?"
Jiang Yuwei poured the washed rice into the pot and said with a smile:
"I'm afraid this woman has already planned with her son. After she finishes this scam, she will move out of Ningjia Village. It will be difficult for you to find her then. I thought we are from the same village after all, so I didn't want to break up with her. I just wanted to make excuses and coax her away. But she insisted on saying some vicious words that people don't like to hear. Even if I beat her today, she won't be wronged."
Liu handed the pot lid to Jiang Yuwei and said with a smile:
"Yes, it's not unfair to beat her up. Let's see if she dares to cheat again next time!"
Jiang Yuwei steamed the rice in the pot, fried two dishes, and asked Liu to call the people in the backyard to come to the front yard to eat.
Jiang Yuwei picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Aunt Zhang's bowl and said with a smile:
"Aunt Zhang, if Uncle Zhang's carvings sell well this time, I will sign a long-term contract with him and let him work in our paper mill."
Aunt Zhang was naturally happy to hear this and nodded repeatedly.
After dinner, everyone went back to their own business. Soon it was evening. Ning Huaizhi drove the carriage and brought everyone back. Jiang Yuwei saw that Ning Huaizhi had brought the fool back again.
Then he frowned and said:
"Why didn't you ask the idiot to stay in the shop to watch over it? It's impossible for the shop to be always without someone on duty at night."
Ning Huaizhi smiled helplessly:
"This idiot insisted on crying and making a scene to come back to eat egg fried rice, or else he would go on strike. I couldn't beat him, so I brought him back with me."
Jiang Yuwei had no choice but to walk up to the idiot, stare at him and say:
"Silly boy, you didn't listen to me tonight, so you don't have any fried rice. If you can stay in the store tomorrow, I'll bring you fried rice every morning, okay?"
After hearing this, the fool nodded reluctantly.
Jiang Yuwei was relieved after she convinced the fool. She really didn't want to make dinner too much trouble, so she had prepared noodles with soybean paste for them to come back. Then they could eat it with some pickled vegetables. If the fool insisted on asking for egg fried rice, it would be troublesome.
It was hot in the summer and no one had much appetite for big fish and meat. When they saw Jiang Yuwei had prepared noodles with soybean sauce, they all took their bowls to get the noodles. Everyone ate very contentedly and finished all the two full pots of hand-rolled noodles.
But the fool was still not satisfied after eating, he patted his belly and said happily:
"I don't want fried rice tomorrow, I want noodles with soybean paste!"
Jiang Yuwei smiled helplessly:
"Okay, let's make noodles with soybean paste tomorrow morning."
Jiang Yuwei sent everyone away, and asked Ning Zhao to give Ning Huaizhi and the idiot a bath. She and Ning Wan also washed themselves, and then went to bed comfortably to sleep.
next morning
At daybreak, Jiang Yuwei got up and prepared the noodles with soybean paste. After breakfast, everyone got on the ox cart and headed to Moxiangzhai.
But when they just arrived at Moxiangzhai, they found the door of the shop was open. Jiang Yuwei was shocked and jumped out of the car to check the shop. She saw that all the shelves inside had been pushed over and things were scattered all over the floor.
The fool followed in and hurriedly opened the back door to check on Xiao Hei. He saw that Xiao Hei had been stabbed in the stomach and was lying on the ground dying, gasping for breath.
Seeing this, the fool hurriedly picked up Xiao Hei, ran to Jiang Yuwei with red eyes, and stared at her blankly.
Jiang Yuwei couldn't bear it and hurriedly said to Ning Zhao:
"Zhao'er, quickly take the idiot to Huichun Hall and have Doctor Lin apply medicine to Xiao Hei to stop the bleeding and bandage him first."
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei took out a few pieces of silver from her purse and handed them to Ning Zhao.
Ning Qiu and Ning Daya, who came in from behind, were also panicked when they saw this. They hurriedly grabbed Jiang Yuwei's arm and said anxiously:
"Sister Yuwei, there's a thief in our shop, what should we do?"
