Chapter 230 The Old Lady with the Bad Mouth in the Village

Seeing that the two sides were arguing and neither could convince the other, Jiang Chengye pulled Chen Changan over and asked the names of several people.

Chen Changan didn't know what he was going to do but told him everything honestly. Jiang Chengye picked up the pen and quickly wrote down the names of several people in the registration book, and also wrote the money at the back.

Chen Changan saw his movements, went over to take a look and found that everything had been written. When he was about to stop him, Jiang Chengye had already lifted the paper up.

"Grandma Chen, please stop arguing. I have already registered everything. I cannot change it. Just follow your two aunts' wishes."

When Mrs. Chen, who was arguing with Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin, heard this, she looked up at Jiang Chengye in surprise while still speaking.

"Mr. Jiang, how do you know our names..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Chen Changan standing aside with a guilty look on his face. He knew very well that it was his eldest grandson who said this.

"Grandma Chen, don't blame Brother Changan. I asked him, and he didn't know."

Chen Changan nodded frantically at his grandmother, indicating that he did not mean it.

"Let's do this, mother. It's already been registered. If we change it, we'll waste a piece of paper, and a piece of paper is precious. This paper was brought over from the north by Xiaoye and the others. One piece of paper is more expensive than these few cents you have!" Zheng Yuan said nonsense in a serious tone.

Old Mrs. Chen looked at Jiang Chengye, and Jiang Chengye nodded with certainty.

"You guys...that's all. Don't do that again in the future!" Fearing that the paper would be wasted, Mrs. Chen had no choice but to agree.

"That's right, Auntie. You and your family helped us without hesitation, so why are you so reserved now? Here, keep the money." Duan Minmin quickly stuffed the money into the old lady's arms.

"Come here, sister-in-law, these are yours. Chang'an, these are yours. You should keep them well. As for how you divide them at home, we don't care." Duan Minmin counted the money and gave it to Li Shuhua and Chen Chang'an.

The money for others can be collected by Old Lady Chen. Li Shuhua and Chen Changan have discussed that they should give the money to them separately. After all, it was earned by them with half a month's hard work. If they give it all to the old lady, they are afraid that they will feel uncomfortable.

As for what the daily rules of their big family are, that is not something the two of them should consider.

After distributing the money, Zheng Yuan gave each family member a toothbrush and four cans of toothpaste as usual.

"No! This is absolutely not possible!" Old Mrs. Chen refused to accept it.

"Mom, everyone in the village has it, so there's no reason why our family doesn't have it. I should have given it to you a few days ago, but I was too busy and forgot."

"It's because we are the only ones who can't take it. We have already given so many copper coins, and now you are giving more to this old man. Are you two just giving money away?" Old Mrs. Chen said with a fierce look on her face.

"Pfft! What kind of money-giving boy? Auntie, look at our faces, we look alike, hahahaha..."

Duan Minmin's words made everyone laugh, and Old Lady Chen no longer looked stern. Zheng Yuan took the opportunity to stuff all the things into Chang An's hands, and then whispered something in her ear before the old lady could react.

After listening to this, Old Mrs. Chen glanced at Zheng Yuan, who nodded affirmatively. Old Mrs. Chen said nothing more, just nodded, waved at Li Shuhua and her mother, and then walked out of the yard without looking back.

Looking at the backs of the three people, Duan Minmin and Jiang Chengye and his servants all looked at Zheng Yuan with confusion.

What did she say? The old lady passed away in such a graceful manner.

Duan Minmin was about to ask when Zheng Yuan stretched lazily: "Oh! I'm so tired, tired and hungry. Let's go home and eat. I think our baby Tao'er has already prepared the meal."

Seeing her like this, Duan Minmin immediately understood that this meant that it was not convenient for her to say it in front of Jiang Chengye and the others, and they could talk about it after they got into bed at night.

"Yes! I'm hungry. Let's go, Xiaoye, Jiang Shui, let's go back and have dinner!" Duan Minmin also pretended to touch her stomach, then took Zheng Yuan's hand and walked out.

Seeing the two of them quickly walk out the door, Jiang Chengye and Jiang Shui quickly followed them. He could naturally see that they didn't want to say it in front of them.

This is not a big deal, Jiang Chengye will not ask about it. They have their reasons for not wanting to talk about it. The most important thing now is to eat.

As Jiang Shui dropped the key, an old lady came out from the corner of the wall at the back and looked hatefully at the direction where the four people left, biting her lips so tightly that they almost bled.

If Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked back at this moment, they would find out who else could this be but Duan Minmin's weird mother-in-law, Old Lady Zhao.

Old Mrs. Zhao had just finished dinner and was wandering around the village gossiping with others when she saw people from the workshop walking home in waves with red faces.

After asking, I found out that the workshop paid wages today. Not only did everyone get at least a few hundred coins, but they also got some damn toothbrushes and toothpaste.

She heard that Zheng Baozhu and Duan Minniang sold this toothbrush and toothpaste for dozens of coins in the city, but they were so generous as to give them away.

How could she accept this? She had been spreading rumors in the village a few days ago that the workshop was a scam and that the workers would definitely get nothing in the end. But now, not only did they get their wages, they also got so many things.

Especially those people asked her in front of her, didn't they say Zheng Baozhu and Duan Minniang were liars? How come she got money and things now? They also asked her why Duan Minniang didn't send her some?

What was the difference between these laughs and slapping her in public? Old Mrs. Zhao's face turned blue and red. She pushed through the crowd and walked quickly towards the workshop, ready to ask them for an explanation.

But just as he reached the door, he heard Jiang Chengye's voice and didn't dare to go in.

In her eyes, Zheng Baozhu and Duan Minniang could be manipulated as she pleased, but this Mr. Jiang was a nobleman from outside, the clouds in the sky, and they were the dirt on the ground, and they absolutely could not offend such people.

So he could only spit at the door, then hid in the corner and watched the group of people walk away with hatred. He secretly swore in his heart that after Jiang Chengye and his group left, he would teach these two little bitches a lesson.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had no idea that Old Lady Zhao had hated them again, but even if they knew, they would not care. They had never taken Old Lady Zhao seriously.

When the four of them returned home, it was already dark, and the children at home were almost waiting anxiously. They were relieved when they saw them come in, and hurriedly put the food on the table.

After a busy day, they were indeed hungry. After washing their hands, they called everyone to eat quickly. The two picked up their bowls and started eating. Seeing the two wolfing down their food, the children were also tempted by them and hurriedly sat down.

At the dinner table, the two asked about the children's studies as usual and talked about what happened today. The meal was simply finished.

After dinner, Duan Minmin left the children to clean up and couldn't wait to take Zheng Yuan back there. She really wanted to know what Zheng Yuan had said to the old lady.

After washing up and lying on the bed, Zheng Yuan spoke calmly under Duan Minmin's urging: "I'll tell mom, if she doesn't take it down and brush her teeth, she will be the old lady with the stinkiest mouth in the village tomorrow."

"Hahahaha... Yuanbao, you are such a talent! Hahaha..." Duan Minmin almost laughed to tears.

She asked how just one sentence could make the old lady behave so well. It seemed that this sentence made the old lady feel a sense of crisis about her image in the village.
