Chapter 12: The Anti-General
"Wait! I will pay!" Madam Qian yelled again.
She can see it, this dead girl wants to pit her money!
Unexpectedly, I didn’t get to scam, but instead was scammed by others!
At this moment, she regrets going against this dead girl!
She knew that half of what the dead girl said was right. At least after reporting to the yamen, she and her daughter will absolutely lose their jobs.
Landlord Feng loves reputation more than anything else.
Wen Ran stopped again, and even walked back this time.
Wen Nuan stretched out her hand, palm up: "Two taels of silver, hurry up, we have to go back to eat. I am so hungry right now. I may get sick if go hungry, and you will have to cover the medical expenses."
Madam Qian looked at Wen Nuan bitterly, her eyes were full of ire, as if she had been poisoned: "Aren't you afraid that your mother and grandmother will lose this job of washing clothes?"
Wen Nuan: "We won't trouble you, my mother and grandmother won’t need to do this job in the future. Hurry up, the longer the delay, the more lost work pay!"
Madam Qian was so angry that she ground her teeth, how could she lose this silver?!
"I have no silver on my body right now. Tomorrow your mother will wash clothes and I will give it to her!"
At this time, a woman passed by, Wen Nuan deliberately said loudly: "Madam, this auntie has no money on her, can you help her ask her daughter to get it?"
The woman heard Wen Nuan's shouts, turned her head and looked over, then walked towards them.
Madam Qian saw that and her face changed. She quickly took out two taels of silver and twenty copper coins and thrust them at Wen Nuan: "Two taels of silver, get out!"
Madam Qian looked at the silver with pain on her face, even her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and stomach hurt!
Wen Nuan: "Apologize!"
Don't think that only money is enough!
Madam Qian was trembling with anger. She looked at Madam Wang and Madam Wu bitterly, gritted her teeth and said: "Two ancestors, I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding! Is that okay?"
"Don't shout ancestors, my mother and my grandmother are not as shameless as you!" Wen Nuan stuffed the silver into her pocket.
At this moment, the woman came over, she frowned and looked at Madam Qian: "What's the matter?"
Madam Qian felt her blood surge and she almost fainted. She smiled shyly and said, "Manager, it’s okay. I owe them money. I’m a little tight on hand and want to pay it later."
Wen Nuan gave her a faint look, then handed the clothing back to Madam Qian: "Madam Qian, you have torn this dress. Remember to take the initiative to admit your mistake to the master and pay for it!"
Wen Nuan exposed her because she is worried that Madam Qian will find someone else to calculate.
For the poor, it is not easy to save a couple of taels.
"What! You tore Miss's clothes!" The woman took the clothing away, looking shocked.
Madam Qian really wanted to faint. She wanted to pretend not to know anything but realized she couldn't, so she nodded and said, "I, I was not careful, I will go to Miss to receive punishment!"
Madam Qian turned around and left.
...
Wen Nuan no longer care about them. She took Madam Wu's and Madam Wang's hands and walked out: "Mother, Grandma, you're in shock. Lets go home to eat chicken porridge and recover from your shock!"
Madam Qian became even more angry after hearing this.
That woman gave birth to an unscrupulous child!
Still in shock, recover by eating chicken porridge? She is the one who is frightened, okay!
What they eat is not chicken porridge, but her blood and tears!
A bad guy with the heart of a wolf and lungs of a dog!
When she thought about how she hadn't been able to pit Madam Wu and Madam Wang, those two inferior hoofs, for two taels of silver, instead she had to pay the young lady two taels of silver, which means that she would have to pay a total of four taels of silver, and they ran off with her child daughter-in-law, she felt like she was about to suffocate.
I really don’t want to live anymore!
—
Madam Qian didn't want to live anymore, but Wen Nuan's people went home happily all the way.
Wen Ran admired Wen Nuan at this moment: "Third Sister, how did you know that the clothing was torn by the old harridan’s daughter?"
Madam Wang and Madam Wu are also very curious, why didn't she say that Madam Qian tore it?
“That’s a girl’s dress. That woman’s hands are thick and her nails are black. She is not qualified to be by the mistress’s side, so...”, Wen Nuan explained her guess.
Wen Ran looked at Wen Nuan with admiration in her eyes: "Third Sister, you are too good, you can guess this."
Madam Wang patted Wen Nuan's head: "Our Sister Nuan is as cunning as a hare. If she was born as a boy, she would definitely do big things, but she is also good just like this."
A few people walked into the village smiling and chatting
They soon passed the gate of Wen Family's courtyard.
Madam Zhu had just woken up from a nap, and was about to go out to the village to chat with the other women.
Seeing a few people passing by, she immediately shut the courtyard door with a "bang!"
Madam Yongfu loves to talk gossip. Madam Zhu has long heard the news that Madam Wang and the others have torn the clothes of the landlord’s family and has to pay for it.
Where can this cheap hoof get the money to pay? She worried that they would come in and ask the old man to borrow money!
Madam Zhu deliberately spoke loudly to the old man in the room: "Old man, there is no money in this house. If you dare to spend my son's money to redeem some bastards, this old lady will bring out a few sons and leave you! You can live by yourself! Some people are shameless, and aren't even embarrassed to spend the filial piety given by other people's sons!
Madam Wang was taken aback by the sound of the slamming door, then her face became black with anger when she heard what was said inside. She snorted and strode forward.
Seeing that Madam Wang was angry, Wen Nuan grabbed her hand and said loudly: "Don't be angry Grandma. Soon, someone will call you ancestor!"
Madam Wang laughed after hearing this: "Okay, Grandma is waiting!"
Madam Zhu rolled her eyes when she heard it inside. She opened the courtyard door and found that several people had walked around the corner and disappeared. She snorted: "Call that slut ancestor? They can daydream! Those desperate people, their hands are covered in thick calluses. How can those rich people's things be touched by a slut like her? This time it depends on which grandson she sells to pay for it!"

When they returned home, Madam Wang and Madam Wu were shocked when they discovered that there was a big pot of chicken porridge.
There is also a hare and a pot of snails in the yard.
"Where did this pheasant come from? Have you gone up the mountain and down the river?" Madam Wang frowned, her expression serious.
Letting Sister Ran look after Sister Nuan, this is unreliable after all!
Children love to play by nature, and they forget all dangers when they play.
Wen Ran immediately said: "I caught the pheasant up the mountain, and I caught the snails in the river."
"Sister Ran, you are still young. Didn't I say that you can't go to the river to play? Why did you still gather up so many snails?" Madam Wu thought about the fact that Sister Nuan fell into the water, and was afraid for a while.
Madam Wang: "Yes, you two kids, playing in the river, what if something happens? Whoever dares to go down to the river in the future, I will break her leg!"
Madam Wu: "Also, there are no pheasants near the foot of the mountain. Have you gone deep into the mountain?"
Wen Ran shook her head like she was beating a drum: "No, absolutely not! I found it near the foot of the mountain!"
Wen Nuan hurriedly calmed the two people with anxious faces: "Mother, Grandma, we are not going down the river to play. These snails can be gathered by standing at the riverbank and bending over. We didn't go deep. My health is better, I can't always lie still. Only by walking more can I get better. I didn’t want to walk around in the village, so I asked Sister Ran to take me to the foot of the mountain, and then I found two pheasants and a hare. The autumn harvest will begin soon. Now everyone is going to town to repair farm tools and prepare for the autumn harvest. It is estimated that no one has gone up the mountain these days, and the pheasants in the mountain dare to come out."
Madam Wang heard her, and her face looked a little better. The two children are also very obedient, especially Wen Nuan. She never lied, so she believed: "Don't play in the river or go into the mountains, you know?"
Wen Ran nodded obediently: "I know."
Wen Nuan also nodded, "I know too."
Anyway, she is not playing in the mountains and rivers, she is doing business.
Madam Wang still wants to scold.
Wen Nuan decisively changed the topic: "Grandma, can I have porridge? I'm hungry."
Madam Wu and Madam Wang had wanted to exhort a few more words, but when they heard this, they couldn't care about anything else: "You haven't eaten yet? Then let's eat quickly."
Madam Wu hurried to serve the porridge.
There is a big pot of chicken porridge, which they used a whole pheasant to make, leaving them with another pheasant and a hare leftover. Wen Jiarui and the others will come back at night and they will it eat together.
Madam Wang also walked in the kitchen and saw so much meat and was quite pained. With so much pheasant meat, if they left it for Sister Nuan alone to replenish her body, she could eat for many days!
Thinking of this, she sautéed fresh Chinese cabbage on the side.
Let the child eat chicken porridge, she could just eat some Chinese cabbage and drink some porridge water.
