As the two huts of the Su family were slowly built, the villagers had no choice but to treat them differently.

In the past, they were the poorest family in the village and everyone could trample on them. Now, they were living quite well.

Everyone was jealous, especially when they saw someone who had always been inferior to them suddenly living so much better than them.

And Auntie Wu was the first to bear the brunt.

Her husband was dead, and she had no children. Now, she did not even have that considerable rent.

She would never know how to farm, so she could only think of other ways to earn money.

Seeing that Wang Cuizhi and Zhao Yan’s house was about to be built, she often went over to take a walk, hoping that she would give her some work on account of their past relationship.

However, what she had done had already nailed her to the pillar of shame. How could Wang Cuizhi be willing to use her?

And how dare she use her.

Someone like her might just cause trouble if they were angry, and make her pay for it.

Although she had money, she was unwilling to give it to her for nothing.

Auntie Wu had been hanging around her for three days. Seeing how determined she was, she was a little anxious.

“Zhao Yan’s mother, what happened before was all a misunderstanding. Look, we’re all neighbors. I don’t have any children now. Just let me do some work. You can even give me less money!”

Although Wang Cuizhi looked easy to talk to, she was not someone who would be easily swayed.

She had grown up in the deep palace. Although she had not seen many people like Auntie Wu, she had seen many people who were better than her. They did not care about her at all.

“Auntie Wu, there’s really no need. Look, I’m almost done. Moreover, there are so many people working. There’s really no need. You can go back.”

Despite her polite words, she was disgusted.

Auntie Wu did not want to give up and continued.

“Cuizhi, I have no children. Just take pity on me. I only want half of someone else’s salary. What do you think?”

Wang Cuizhi still refused. “There’s really no need. Go back. My small temple can’t accommodate a great Buddha like you.”

As soon as she said this, even if she really exposed the previous matter, Auntie Wu still did not give up.

“See what I said? It was all a misunderstanding. I really wasn’t trying to steal anything from you guys.”

With that, she took the broom beside her and wanted to sweep the floor, but Wang Cuizhi snatched it away.

“My Zhao Yan and Su Ling saw what happened with their own eyes. I don’t want to argue with you anymore. Don’t come again in the future. I don’t need you.”

Auntie Wu was anxious and embarrassed. “They’re still children and don’t know anything. How can you listen to them!”

Wang Cuizhi’s usually kind smile had disappeared at some point, and her expression looked a little sinister.

“If I don’t believe my own child, do you think I’ll believe you? I won’t argue with you about how many things you took from me in the past, but I advise you to leave now, or I’ll go find the village chief.”

At this moment, those who worked in her house could not stand it anymore and echoed.

“Auntie Wu, how do you still have the cheek to come? Who would dare to use someone like you? Who knows what else you might steal?”

“That’s right, and Zhao Yan and Su Ling are still two little children. You’re still saying such mean things about them. Really…”

Everyone started to criticize Auntie Wu’s crimes. They even dug out all the things that she had done in the past.

Auntie Wu had never had a good reputation in this village. Everyone turned a blind eye to her for the sake of harmony in the neighborhood. They did not expect her to be so shameless.

Auntie Wu was furious. She wiped her tears and left. Before she left, she even glanced at Wang Cuizhi.

Her gaze seemed to be laced with poison as she looked at Wang Cuizhi, who felt uncomfortable as if she had been bitten by a poisonous snake.
