stingy landlady

Chapter 251 The Li Family Makes a Scene in Huanghua Village (4)

Li became increasingly angry as she spoke.

"Knowing that what she's doing is no good, she still wastes money hiring so many of you to do it! This is just her way of burning money; she doesn't know what else to do!"

None of you need to work anymore! This workshop is no longer necessary! Go home and do what you were doing!

"What a waste of money! That spendthrift!"

Taozhi was stunned, and the people in the women's workshop looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ju Shuang walked out from inside, hands on her hips, and said:

"Who is this? How dare they talk so arrogantly! They say they won't do it and then they just quit! Why don't they just fly to the moon!"

"No unauthorized personnel allowed! There's a sign at the door, didn't you see it? Who let you in? Get out!"

Li Shiyi's eyes:

"Let me out? This is my house! Why should I leave? If anyone should leave, it should be you people who work for my house!"

Taozhi's face flushed red, and she hurriedly said:

"Chief Ju Shuang! This is Gui Zhi's biological mother!"

Ju Shuang looked Li up and down and said:

"Oh! Miss Guizhi's own mother! Is this how you behave? We're just doing our work, why are you causing trouble?"

They're even trying to kick everyone out while the boss is away! Even if you're the boss's own mother, you still have to be reasonable!

Ju Shuang said to the others:

"Keep working! No matter what anyone says, it's useless unless the boss gives the order!"

After saying this, he turned to Madam Li and said:

"Madam! Please go out first! Don't make things difficult for these people! We'll do whatever we want, as long as the employer approves!"

"Madam, please go out first!"

Li was stubborn from the start, and her voice grew louder and louder as she spoke:

"I'm not going out! This is my own home, why should I leave! I said I can't work, so I can't work!"

You bunch of young girls and wives, you're just taking advantage of my Guizhi's young age to deceive her! Look at yourselves, what kind of rubbish have you all done?

How dare they ask for wages! Nobody's money grows on trees!

The group remained deadlocked. Li refused to come out, and Ju Shuang wouldn't let her go any further. Ji Xiang and Ru Yi had no choice but to put down what they were doing and rush over, each grabbing one of Li's arms and pulling her out.

"Madam, Madam! You can't just come in here like that! Your arrival, with all your might, has already put us in a difficult position! And you want to shut down Miss's workshop? That won't do!"

"Madam! Let's go outside first! Don't let people laugh at you and Miss!"

As Jixiang spoke, she and Ruyi strained to pull Li out. The two of them had learned a little martial arts, and with a little skill, they managed to pull Li out.

Li was still not satisfied after she came out; she insisted on closing down the handicraft workshop!

"Madam! What brings you here? Are you here to cause trouble? It's so late, I think you should go home!"

Li's eyes widened immediately:

"Well, you two wretched maids! How dare you speak to me like that! What does your master want to do? Instead of helping, you dare to disobey her!"

What use are you two maids! When Guizhi returns, I'll have her sell you both right away!

Ruyi then said to Li:

"Madam! We are Miss's servants! Of course we must obey Miss's orders! Madam! Everything Miss has is hard-earned. You'd better not interfere."

"You're disrupting Miss's life!"

"Ah! I gave birth to her and raised her all these years, and now she complains that I'm meddling in her life? That I'm causing trouble? Let me tell you, no way!"

"Hmph! With the masters not here, you bunch of lackeys are allowed to deceive your superiors and subordinates. You think you can live freely? Since I am the mistress of this house, I will not indulge you!"

Jixiang and Ruyi exchanged a glance, both feeling a headache coming on. They couldn't hit her, nor could they scold her. Neither of them dared to let go, fearing that Li would go in and cause trouble again.

Wanrou had already heard that Li had gone to the workshop to cause trouble again, and she immediately felt uneasy! This woman, she's unreasonable, and her status is undeniable. What should she do?

Wanrou was so anxious she was scratching her head. Xile drove the carriage to a stop in front of Wanrou's house. A nanny got off the carriage and helped the pregnant lady. It was Lin Qian's wife who had come to visit Wanrou and her child.

"Wanrou! I heard from the villagers that a shrew has come to our village, just to cause trouble."

Wanrou sighed:

"Where? It's Miss Guizhi's own mother! She doesn't understand anything. As soon as she arrived, she started clamoring to find the Second Miss and Miss Guizhi! When she couldn't find them, she cried and made a scene, saying that we sold them!"

Who would have thought she'd go and cause trouble at the handicraft workshop again? Now, Jixiang and Ruyi are holding her back, completely at a loss for what to do!

"Okay! I understand! This work can't stop. It's not convenient for you to show your face while you're with the child. I'll go check on it!" Lin Qian's wife got back into the carriage and headed towards the handicraft workshop.

Li was held back by Jixiang and Ruyi, unable to move. But she kept cursing. She knew the people here wouldn't do anything to her, so she just cursed them with whatever nasty words she could find! She certainly got her fill of verbal venting.

The carriage stopped in front of Li Shi, but Lin Qian's wife did not get off immediately. Instead, she lifted the curtain and stared directly at Li Shi.

When the carriage stopped in front of Li, she already sensed something was wrong! After waiting for a long time, no one got out of the carriage. Li became increasingly uneasy, and remained obedient, not daring to utter a single word!

The room fell silent, and after a long while, Lin Qian's family member finally spoke:

"Joy! Send this lady back to her own home! Let her husband discipline her properly!"

Xile agreed and hurried to find someone to hitch up the carriage. Li Shi, steeling herself, asked:

"Who are you? This is a matter between me and my servants, what's it to you!"

Lin Qian's wife, sitting high up in the carriage, asked:

"Oh? What about you and your servants? Which one is your servant? Whose indenture do you have? Point them out, let me see! I'll make her leave with you right now."

Li knew perfectly well that she didn't have a single indenture. All she had were the indentures of her two concubines and several members of the Zhou family.

"What? You don't have any? Since they're not your servants, what right do you have to act like a scoundrel here? What are you doing causing trouble in this village? Who do you think you are?"

Why don't we go to the authorities together and get to the bottom of this?

Li is the kind of person who becomes strong when facing the weak and weak when facing the strong. Hearing Lin Qian's harsh tone, he was already somewhat intimidated. When he heard that he would be handed over to the authorities, he became even more frightened.

She knew she was being unreasonable. But in this village, she was the boss, the leader, so of course she could do whatever she wanted, however exciting!

Suddenly a powerful person appeared. If we don't tolerate her bad habits, what if she really gets handed over to the authorities, gets punished, or goes to jail for a few days? That wouldn't be worth it.

Li was deflated, letting Jixiang and Ruyi support her, no longer struggling. She secretly thought to herself, "Bad luck today, running into this meddlesome woman. Humph! She'll take me home today, I'll come back tomorrow!"
