Chapter 116: The Workers Regretted
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After a while, Lin Xiujuan said, โFuture in-law, donโt be rash. Letโs ask the children if thereโs a misunderstanding.โ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ซ๐๐๏ผ๐๐๐ข
Then, she advised Zhang Lan, โSister, donโt be rash. Letโs understand the situation first. Brother Kun isnโt that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding! โ
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Dakun ran over in a hurry and said loudly, โYes, yes, yes, thatโs right. Itโs all a misunderstanding!โ
Then, he ran over and pulled Old Madam Chen back. He smiled and said, โIโm sorry, Iโm sorry. My mother doesnโt know the situation. Sheโs just too worried about me.โ
โIt was all a misunderstanding between me and the Zhou familyโs Miss. I didnโt see Miss Zhou at that time and blocked her way as she was coming down the mountain. Miss Zhou thought that I was a bad person and was anxious. Hence, she hurt me by accident.โ
Chen Dakun explained repeatedly.
After that, he pulled Old Madam Chen and ran away in a hurry.
Zhou Xiaoli sneered in her heart. Chen Dakun was afraid that if things got out of hand and she had reported it to the authorities, his reputation would be ruined!
After all, he was a scholar.
If his reputation was ruined, he would not have the chance to take the Imperial Examination.
At this moment, Lin Xiujuan heaved a sigh of relief. โI knew it was a misunderstanding. Brother Kun is a good child.โ
Right now, the Liu family and the Zhou family are working well together. On one side was the future son-in-law whom she liked a lot, and on the other side was her money tree. Naturally, she did not want to lose either side.
Thinking that the two families had a good relationship, Zhou Xiaoli reminded Lin Xiujuan tactfully, โThis Chen Dakun doesnโt seem to be as good as the rumors say.โ
Lin Xiujuan didnโt listen at all. She thought that there was a misunderstanding between Zhou Xiaoli and Chen Dakun and Zhou Xiaoli said that because she didnโt like Chen Dakun.
Therefore, she did not take Zhou Xiaoliโs reminder to heart at all. She smiled and said, โLittle Li, there must be a misunderstanding between you and Brother Kun. Brother Kun is very ambitious and a good child.โ
โHe became a child scholar a long time ago. This year, he might be able to pass the Imperial Examination to become an Elementary Scholar. Heโs a student studying under the might of the Emperor. Heโs not the person you think he isโฆโ Zhou Xiaoli kept quiet.
She did not have any evidence that Chen Dakun was a scumbag. If she said too much, the Liu family might not believe her. They might even think that Zhou Xiaoli was deliberately trying to ruin his good marriage to their daughter.
Therefore, Zhou Xiaoli did not say anything else.
Anyway, she had already reminded her.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Lin Xiujuan hurriedly went home to cook.
After closing the door, Zhang Lan pulled Zhou Xiaoli and checked if she was injured. She kept scolding her, โChild, why didnโt you tell your parents when you came back after such a big thing happened?โ
Zhou Xiaoliโs eyes curved. โMother, Iโm fine. I just donโt want you to worry.โ
Zhang Lanโs eyes turned red. โSilly child, what are you afraid of? Remember, Father and Mother will always be on your side. If you encounter anything in the future, you have to tell Father and Mother. Donโt bear it all by yourself, do you understand?
Zhou Xiaoli felt a warmth in her heart and nodded obediently. She held Zhang Lanโs arm and said coquettishly, โAlright, Mother. In the future, if I encounter any problems, Iโll look for you. Itโs just that, Mother, you canโt be annoyed with me then.โ
A smile appeared on Zhang Lanโs face. She patted Zhou Xiaoliโs hand and said with a smile, โNo worries, no worries.โ
Zhou Xiaoyu also ran over to hug the two of them and said cutely, โLittle Fishy wonโt be annoyed either.โ
Instantly, both of them laughed.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the kitchen.
Zhou Yu looked at the backs of the mother and daughter trio and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
Now that everything was fine at home, Zhou Junjun ran back to his room and started reading loudly.
When it was almost noon, many uninvited guests unexpectedly came to their house.
Looking at the eight or nine familiar faces in front of the door, Zhou Xiaoli wanted to laugh. She raised her eyebrows and said, โYo, didnโt you guys get a good job with Cao Liu? Why are you so free to come to our house today?โ
Thatโs right, these people were the workers who followed Cao Liu on strike and ran away with him.
Hearing Zhou Xiaoliโs words, those people felt a little embarrassed.
โHey, Miss Zhou, donโt tease us. We were also deceived by that bastard Cao Liu.โ
One of them spoke first.
Immediately, the others started talking at once.
โYes, yes, we were deceivedโฆ
Zhou Xiaoli received a lot of information from them as they vented their anger and dissatisfaction.
For example, Cao Liu had first looked for them and said that there was work for Second Master Wanโs family. With that, they put on an act and went on strike.
Another example was about the stage that they were going to build for Second Master Wan under Cao Liuโs lead. The Second Master Wan wanted to build the stage to please the top lady of the brothel.
Another example was that Second Master Wanโs wife was known for being a shrew. For some reason, she found out that Second Master Wan had secretly built a stage for the top lady of the brothel.
Then, she caught Second Master Wan in the act and caused a lot of trouble.
Hence, the matter of building a stage was left unsettled.
Not only did they lose their jobs, Cao Liu had also gambled away the wages they earned over the past few days.
They suffered a double loss. Not only did they not get any money, but they had also lost their cushy job with the Zhou family.
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoli wanted to laugh. She thought to herself, โthis is karma.โ
Zhou Yu was a little unhappy. He frowned and said loudly, โSo, what do you want? Do you want to work for us again?โ
Those people immediately nodded and started flattering themselves again.
โThatโs right, thatโs right. Big Brother Zhou, look, we had worked on the house for your family previously. Weโre familiar with it, right?โ
โThatโs right, thatโs right. Weโve been working for many years. Our skills are not something ordinary people can compare to. We work quickly and well. I guarantee that we can build your house to be strong and beautiful!โ
Zhou Yu interrupted them impatiently. โSigh, thereโs no need for that. Our family canโt afford to use you. Now that weโve found workers and are doing well, you should find another way out.โ
When those people heard this, their faces were filled with regret, but they were still unwilling.
โBrother Zhou, look at how we built your house earlier. Weโre more familiar with your house than the newcomers. Weโll definitely build it faster than themโฆโ Someone said,
Were they trying to replace the new workers?
Zhou Xiaoli was so angry that she laughed. โNo, big brothers, where did you get your confidence from? Our new workers are much better than you. They donโt know how to be half-hearted and scheming.โ
โYou guys should leave quickly. We donโt dare to use you anymore. What if you guys run away again?โ
Zhou Xiaoli went all out in criticizing them. Those peopleโs faces turned red and white after being scolded.
After being rebuked by the Zhou family, those workers left dejectedly.
As they walked, they scolded Cao Liu for being a jerk. When they passed by the Zhou familyโs homestead, they happened to see the workers chatting and laughing as they drank green bean tea..
