Novel Bin Chapter 69.3: Zheng Family Part 3
Looking at the money she was holding in her hand, Old Lady Wang thought seriously for a moment. With a painful expression on her face, she divided her money into two parts and said to the people sitting on the Kang bed: “I have not taken any less of your things in your family, but now, I will pay for it!”
Grandmother Zheng looked at 100 yuan in her hand and laughed: “It’s really rare that the iron cock has plucked its hair! But calculating all the fruits you take in our tress for all these years, isn’t it more than 100 yuan?”
Old Lady Zhu quickly agreed: “That’s right. Didn’t you take by force the chestnuts that my grandson pick up on our chestnut tree last year? That stuff is rare now. You can sell them for more than 100 yuan. What’s more, you also took other things on our farm!”
Old Lady Wang couldn’t butt in and speak for herself, but she understood what she had done herself, and knew that the other party was not talking nonsense. She stretched out her hand and rubbed the wrinkles on her face, then gritted her teeth: “Okay, I will go back and pay you later!”
“This is what you said!” Old Lady Zhu immediately followed up: “If you don’t keep your words, I will sue you to the Little Master.”
Old Lady Wang reluctantly replied and walked away. Everyone in the room laughed. Almost all the people in the village were taken advantage of by Old Lady Wang. She treated the vegetables and fruits farm in their village like her own. She will pick whatever she wanted to eat. When she went to someone’s house and saw the snacks they bought for their children, she will put them in her pockets. The villagers were really annoyed by her repeated behavior. But when they quarreled with her, she will only smile back, which was simply suffocating.
Seeing that Lin Qingyin cleaned up the iron cock and plucked the hair of Old Lady Wang, everyone felt relieved. Some people even went to the village to publicize what happened to Old Lady Wang and tell everyone not to forget to ask for money when she pay later so that she won’t dare to go to other people’s house and take their things.
People laughed at the west side of the house, but Ma Xiuling, who was in the east room looked sad. She doesn’t know how she will talk to the girl in front of her, who was less than 20 years old, about her marriage.
Lin Qingyin looked at Ma Xiuling’s face, then took her hand and look at her palm prints, then asked: “You have a son and a daughter? One is prosperous and the other is good in studies.”
When Ma Xiuling heard Lin Qingyin mention her pride, she couldn’t help but smile: “Yes, my son graduated from graduate school last year and had a good job. He can earn 20,000 yuan a month in stocks or something. My daughter is a graduating student and will graduate next year, but she still wants to study for a Ph.D.”
Speaking of her children, Ma Xiuling smiled contentedly: “I don’t have no culture, but it is my greatest pride in my life to cultivate two talents.”
