The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife-Chapter 280 - 280 More Trouble

280 More Trouble

“It’s about my mother-in-law.”

Li Miao gritted her teeth at the mention of the other party.

“You know Dashan. He’s a kind man.

“That old woman has been looking for Dashan these days. He was afraid that I would get angry if I knew, so he didn’t tell me. Last night, when we were having dinner, that old woman came directly to our house.

“I understood everything after listening to their conversation for a while. For the past two days, she’s been cooking eggs for Dashan every day. In the end, Dashan did not agree to help her plead for a job, so her true colors were exposed and she went straight to the door to scold us!”

Yue Jiaojiao’s brows furrowed. “Did she push you to the ground?”

“She was fighting with the Dashan. That silly guy only knew how to shake his head, so I stopped him.”

“Li Miao, nothing is more important than the child in your stomach. This is the child that you’ve been waiting for so many years.” Yue Jiaojiao pulled the blanket over Li Miao’s body upward. “Next time she comes, don’t even open the door. Just ask Dashan to go and find Lizheng. You can lock the door and let her do whatever she wants outside.”

Presumably, the old woman wouldn’t dare to make a scene in front of her and Zhao Zhan. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

“You and Dashan have to be hard-hearted. If one of you breaks, that old woman will climb all over your heads.”

“I let her in because my mind was muddled. I actually believed she’d come over to take care of me during my confinement.”

She could not count on Li Miao’s family, and there was no one around her who could help.

Yue Jiaojiao guessed that the old woman must have mentioned this a few days ago when she was trying to put in a good word for them, and that was why they were so hesitant.

“You must be confused. You’re familiar with the people in the village, so you should know which mother-in-law is kind and caring. Before you give birth, you can talk to them in advance, and we can give them some money to work.”

“That’s a good idea.” Li Miao felt a sense of relief in his heart. “Dashan and I have been worried sick for a long time. He even said that if it really doesn’t work, he will be thick-skinned and tell Zhao Zhan if he could stop working for a month. That’ll be too immoral. We can’t do it.”

“Then, have you thought it through on what to do?”

“I’ve thought it through. It’s a good thing that you came to talk to me today. If my mother-in-law comes again, I’ll get Dashan to shut her out.” 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

“It should have been like this long ago.” Yue Jiaojiao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Miao’s complexion had improved. “Zhao Zhan and I are usually at home. If Dashan can’t handle it, you don’t need to force him. You can just come to our house and call for help. Even if we can’t, we still have helpers.”

“You’re right, we aren’t alone this time,” Li Miao said, amused.

The two of them chatted for a while before Yue Jiaojiao suddenly stopped talking. She tilted her head and listened carefully to the sounds. “I think it’s from the warehouse.”

“Oh no, Dashan said that the workshop is starting work today. That old woman must have gone to cause trouble! She wants to go in so that she can take the family’s income.”

“From the time your family built the house to the time when you grew soybean skewers and chili peppers, they were lazy and mean, so they didn’t benefit from it. Now that so many families have received silver, she must have become very envious. Lie down and don’t move. When Doctor Sun comes back, I’ll ask him to take your pulse. I’ll go to the warehouse to take a look. By the way, the things in the kitchen are for you. You should eat it to nourish your body.”

Yue Jiaojiao got up and left after giving a few instructions to Li Miao. Just as she left the courtyard, she heard the commotion from the pickling workshop. It was so noisy that she had a headache and couldn’t hear the reason.

“Look!” Gu Xiaoyu was so angry that her body was trembling. She pointed angrily at the person who was making a scene on the ground, “How many times have I told you? There are enough people! We don’t need you here!”

She lay on the ground with her arms and legs crossed, and no one dared to go forward and pull her away.

If something really happened to her, based on her pestering skills, they would have to pay a huge amount of money as compensation for accidentally injuring her.

Although Gu Xiaoyu was shrewd and shameless, she still had a head full of flies against truly unreasonable people.

While the old lady was on the ground wailing, Gu Xiaoyu shouted at the top of her voice, “Yang Dashan, get this old woman away!”

The warehouse at the back was divided into three workshops.

The place where Yang Dashan made tofu was separated from the pickling workshop by an empty house.

However, his mother’s voice penetrated the walls and still reached their ears. Just as Gu Xiaoyu’s voice fell, Yang Dashan arrived at the door.

“Yang Dashan! Hurry up and get her out of here!”

There were more than ten women in the workshop. Yang Dashan stood at the door. When he heard this, he walked to the old woman’s side with an embarrassed look. “Didn’t I tell you that you can’t enter the workshop? If you don’t leave now, I’ll go find Lizheng to handle this matter!”

Yang Dashan had the courage to speak up knowing that his wife was stuck at home because of his mother, “Don’t forget that Zhao Kuazi is still living alone in the broken thatched house at the entrance of the village!”

“Li Zheng is the fairest person here, bring him in!”

“Good job, Yang Dashan! About time you stood up for yourself!”

“You wretched son!”

Yang Dashan’s face was attacked with the older woman’s saliva, and his voice was a little fierce, “We have signed the letter of disownment! Deal with it!”

“I don’t acknowledge it! You were raised by me! Stop trying to scare me with a piece of paper. If you want to cut off our relationship, I might as well drown myself in the river! I’ve raised you for so many years for nothing!”

The people in the workshop couldn’t bear to hear this.

Gu Xiaoyu’s previous recruits were all honest and quick-witted women. Now, they looked at each other and did not say anything.

This old lady had once blocked someone’s door and scolded them for an entire month!

Who dared to provoke her?

Yue Jiaojiao happened to hear the last sentence when she entered the room. She sneered and strolled forward. “Where’s Zhao Zhan?”

“He went up the mountain, I guess.” Gu Xiaoyu felt more at ease when she saw Yue Jiaojiao. That old woman had suffered at her hands before.

“He asked me to give everyone a uniform apron and hat to change into. He probably went to the back mountain to avoid suspicion.”

Yue Jiaojiao nodded her head.

When the old woman heard Yue Jiaojiao’s voice, her body stiffened, and she straightened her neck, waiting for a scolding battle.

“I see that everyone has already packed up. Why don’t we start working first? There are a lot of things to work on. The more work is done, the more you get.”

When it came to the silver, the others did not care to watch the fun and immediately started getting busy.

“Dashan,” Yue Jiaojiao turned to look at him, “I just came from your house, you should go back and check on Li Miao.”

When Yang Dashan heard her say this, he subconsciously thought that Li Miao’s condition was unstable, so he rushed out.

With a few words, everyone returned to their positions. The old woman, who was lying on the ground, did not know whether to continue lying down or get up to curse when she saw that no one was paying attention to her.

After all, she had been waiting for Zhao Zhan to come instead of this pampered vile demon!
