Chapter 469: The evildoers complain first!
The husband of the fat lady is also named Zhou, and he is of the same race as Dean Zhou. Speaking of which, he is also called Uncle Wutang.
But I don’t move around much on weekdays, just to save face.
The dean’s wife was taking the maid to prepare tea and snacks, because her husband had just got a good flower and was so happy that he wanted to show off.
Just now, the bookboy has gone out to invite some gentlemen who are good friends and love flowers.
The guests were coming soon, and as the head of the house, she had to make arrangements to entertain them.
She still couldn't hide her blush when she remembered that her husband was as happy as a child just now, holding her in his arms and turning around half a circle.
They are an old married couple, how embarrassing it is for the slaves to see.
At this moment, the fat lady came to see her. She did not allow the concierge to announce her, and she cried from the door to the courtyard, as if the sky had fallen.
Mrs. Zhou was really filled with sweetness and joy, and was completely ruined.
Even so, she still had to patiently invite the fat lady into the room and ask in a gentle voice, "Aunt Wutang, what happened? Why are you crying so hard?"
The fat lady felt even more aggrieved. She turned her face to Mrs. Zhou to see her swollen cheeks and cried so much that she felt aggrieved.
“My nephew-in-law, you have to make the decision for me. The Li family is such a bully! They rented the canteen and want to use their own people. They don’t like us at all.
"In the past few days, they have been making things difficult for us, and we have tolerated it, but today they actually took action, pushing me to the ground and beating me! I had to fight hard to come here to ask for help, otherwise I would have I’m afraid they’re all dead.”
Mrs. Zhou frowned, not wanting to believe what the fat lady said, but the mark of the slap was clear, so she poured tea for the fat lady and persuaded in a low voice: "Speak slowly, Aunt Wutang, we are already home." No need to worry."
As she spoke, the maid next to her winked, and the maid immediately withdrew.
The fat lady thought that Mrs. Zhou had believed her, so she became even more aggrieved. She cried with snot and tears as she continued to complain.
“They knew clearly that I was from the Zhou family, so they picked me to bully me. Among the four of them, they caught me and beat me to death. They just didn’t take our Zhou family seriously!
“But why don’t they think about whose family the academy belongs to? They are coming to our house to bully our family!”
Mrs. Zhou listened without interrupting. During this period, several gentlemen came, and she even went out to say hello.
The fat lady was almost done crying, and she gradually began to feel something was wrong.
It seems that Mrs. Zhou kept nodding in response, but didn’t say anything to support her.
She couldn't bear it anymore, so she pulled Mrs. Zhou's sleeve and asked, "My niece-in-law, are you sending someone to drive away the Li family? How can such a family take over the canteen?"
Mrs. Zhou pulled her sleeves back without leaving a trace, and responded perfunctorily, "It is the dean's decision to let the Li family take over the canteen, and I am not qualified to expel them. There are still guests today, do you want to wait until the guests leave? The dean said it himself?"
The fat woman lowered her head subconsciously.
Dean Zhou is very prestigious among the clan members and is extremely wise. She is so petty and can deceive Mrs. Zhou, but she will immediately reveal her true colors in front of the dean.
What she didn’t know was that even Mrs. Zhou had not been deceived by her.
Soon, the maid came back from outside, glanced at the fat lady in a vague way, and reported: "Madam, I went to the entrance of the cafeteria and asked around. Just now, the Li family did beat someone. , and kicked out all the handymen." The fat lady seemed to have been refreshed immediately, but before she could speak, the maid continued: "It is said that the handymen were too lazy, and the four of them were wasted. After three days, they only cleaned one bowl and it was still extremely dirty. The Li family was so angry that they kicked people out.
"The bowl is still in front of the cafeteria at the moment. The slave looked carefully and found that it must have not been washed at all. The leftovers left on it have been dried. It looks like it is ten and a half days old."
Mrs. Zhou’s face turned cold and she looked at the fat woman.
The fat lady felt guilty and defended in a low voice: "I had diarrhea and felt unwell, so I wasted up on my work..."
But the maid mercilessly took off her fig leaf and said: "Even if we have diarrhea, four people can't have diarrhea at the same time, and the diarrhea lasts for three days. If it was so serious, I'd probably lie down long ago and be unable to get up, but that's not the case So lively."
The fat lady became angry and shouted: "Yes, I just didn't do any work. What's wrong? The work is four or five times more than before. Is it wrong for me to raise my wages? Besides, I just don't agree to the wage increase. They can’t hit anyone either!”
The maid curled her lips secretly and said, "I understand, it was the fourth lady of the Li family who beat him, and it was you who first called the fourth lady a bitch!
“Not to mention that the fourth lady’s husband is an official, let’s just say that the Li family also has a title, but not everyone can scold you! Not to mention a slap in the face, even a whip, you have to bear it!”
Mrs. Zhou nodded and said: "Fifth Aunt, originally I thought you were being bullied. You are of the same race, so you definitely shouldn't be treated as a joke. But now you don't work and you want to get a raise. If you don't get a raise, you're scolding. Now that I was fired, there was nothing I could do.
"You'd better find another job. If this matter continues and the dean knows about it, and you have disgraced the Zhou family, I'm afraid there will be other punishments, and the fifth aunt will not even regret it. "
The fat woman was a little dumbfounded and wanted to say something else. Mrs. Zhou mentioned her son again, "Brother Chang is quite talented in reading. He may be able to get a degree and come back in the future. Aunt Five, it's best to be more restrained in your daily behavior. Don't worry." For the sake of temporary pleasure, the child’s good future is delayed.”
The fat woman immediately shut up and did not dare to say a word.
Her son who is studying is her Achilles heel...
At the entrance of the cafeteria, the three handymen waited for more than an hour, but the fat lady did not come back. Even a fool knew that there was no hope.
They wanted to go to the cafeteria to beg again, but Da Zhuang and Second Brother Sun stared at them coldly, and struck hard with the ax in their hands, causing the wood as thick as a human head to split.
They didn’t dare to fight anymore, so they turned around and ran away.
They can't run away. Maybe their heads will be the next ones to be hacked.
In the yard, Brother Sun and Da Zhuang couldn't help laughing. Da Zhuang cursed in a low voice: "These cowards thought they were capable, but they ran away after being scared.
“If they were sent into the woods like this, they would be so scared that they would wet their pants if they saw a single wolf hair.”
“That’s right,” Brother Sun shook his head in agreement, “I only dare to be arrogant because there are people behind me. In fact, I have no real ability at all.”
In the room, Aunt He, Shui Ling, Third Aunt Wu, Dazhuang's wife, Second Sister-in-law Sun, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were all busy.
Seeing that the sun was about to reach its peak, Tao Hongying started cooking. She had agreed to let the children come here to eat today, so she had to prepare more.
Zhao Yuru felt sorry when she saw that her grandmother was sweating from being busy and had to cook, so she said, "Hongying, take a rest for a while, and I'll do it."
