The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme-Chapter 446 - 433 Shut Up
Chapter 446: Chapter 433 Shut Up
“I don’t need you to tell me, I know!” Zhao Qiancheng was very irritated, and vented his anger at Zhao Ziping, “It’s all the trouble you’ve caused!”
If Zhao Ziping hadn’t messed with Zhou Daya, none of this would have happened. How would he them have got his spine broken?
Zhao Ziping pulled a face instantly.
That’s not what was said before.
When he had his sights on Zhou Daya, Zhao Qiancheng was quite pleased. He praised him for his good taste, saying that he had finally found someone who could enhance their reputation. If he could win over Zhou Daya, the secret recipe for century eggs would be theirs and they could make a lot of money.
With this in mind, Zhao Qiancheng had been pulling strings behind his back and advising him.
But now the situation had gone wrong, all the blame was shifted onto him, accusing him of causing all the trouble.
What a jerk!
Zhao Ziping cursed Zhao Qiancheng in his heart.
But on the outside, he put on a slightly apologetic smile, “Uncle shouldn’t be so anxious. These things are common on the road. It’s inevitable that we occasionally get bitten by a dog. It’s no big deal. If worse comes to worst, we chase it away with a stick.”
“I will spread the word that Zhou Daya seduced me. If that doesn’t work, I will say Zhuang Qingning seduced me. Even if I don’t get the prescription, their reputations will be ruined!”
“Do you think you’re the only one who has thought of that?”
Zhao Qiancheng sneered, “Have you heard what people are saying? They are saying that we, uncle and nephew, failed to deceive the prescription, and in our anger, tried to destroy other’s reputation! I spread these rumors earlier, but now all the blame is on us. Do you know why?”
“Why?” Zhao Ziping’s eyes widened.
“Because that son of a bitch Zhuang Jingye thought of this earlier! He told everyone that we were greedy for his family’s prescription. So now, no matter what we say, people will think we failed to steal the recipe and are just slandering them.”
Zhao Qiancheng yelled, “Even if you now claim that Zhou Daya or Zhuang Qingning seduced you, or that they even slept with you, people would not be interested.”
“Then what should we do…?” When Zhao Ziping heard this, he was horrified, and spat forcefully on the ground, “These people in Enji Village have too many tricks up their sleeves and are too cunning!”
“What can we do…?” Zhao Qiancheng was so angry, he wanted to give Zhao Ziping another severe lecture, but before he could open his mouth, someone came into the yard.
“Older brother Dacai, do you need something?” Seeing that it was Zhao Dacai, Zhao Qiancheng quickly put on a friendly smile.
Zhao Dacai was one of the few affluent people in the village. He had a rice noodle shop in the town, and the villagers sold most of their surplus grain to his shop.
Moreover, Zhao Dacai’s second son was said to work in the Prefecture Government Office. Although being a constable is a low status position, even a servant at the Prime Minister’s door is seen as an official of the seventh rank. After all, he got to meet the Magistrate, so he couldn’t be underestimated.
Furthermore, Zhao Dacai had previously donated money to build a temple in the village, so his prestige was quite high. Being the village chief, Zhao Qiancheng had to be respectful when he saw him.
“Of course there is something.” Zhao Dacai was angry as soon as he opened his mouth to reprove Zhao Qiancheng, “What’s going on in your head, instead of doing your own business, you just think about other people’s stuff? You even let Zhao Ziping try to deceive someone’s workshop recipe?”
“You’ve really done well, you two, uncle and nephew, have lost the whole village’s face!”
“This matter… there’s some misunderstanding, it’s not like what the rumour said…” Zhao Qiancheng hurriedly tried to explain.
“When there’s smoke, there’s fire! If you didn’t do anything, would the rumors be so wild?” Zhao Dacai scolded, “It’s all because you two have caused trouble!”
“Now, everyone outside is saying that people in Zhaojiazhuang village are all heartless. They no longer want to marry into Zhaojiazhuang village. Zhao Dabao is still cursing on the streets. His son’s wedding, which was hard to arrange, was canceled because of this matter, and the betrothal gifts have been returned.”
“And for Zhao Fulai’s daughter, whose wedding date was close, the in-laws don’t want to go on. They are considering asking for the betrothal gifts back. Zhao Chunni is crying at home, saying she wants to hang herself.”
“Look what you did!”
“This…” Zhao Qiancheng was startled, “I didn’t hear about it…”
“If you don’t go around in the village, do you expect others to sit at your door and cry about it? Moreover, would it be useful to tell you about it? Can you bring back people’s married daughters or persuade the in-laws?”
Zhao Dacai was so angry that he was shaking, “Thinking about useless things all day, doing stupid things, and not doing any serious work at all. With the reputation of our Zhaojiazhuang village, hated by humans and dogs alike, all the young people in the village can look forward to staying single in the future!”
“Forget it, there’s no use telling you this. You’re too confused to understand what I’m saying. Do whatever you want. At worst, those who are willing to move out will move out, and those who want to remove you from the post of village head will do so. It’s not a big deal.”
Obviously, Zhao Dacai didn’t want to talk to Zhao Qiancheng anymore. He turned his back to him and walked out.
Zhao Qiancheng lowered his head and was speechless for a long time.
On the other hand, Zhao Ziping immediately became furious, and spit in the direction of Zhao Dacai’s retreating figure, “Isn’t he just flaunting his son’s position as the constable? He always acts so high and mighty. Anyone who didn’t know would think he was the head of the county!”
“What can a constable do? It sounds like a big deal, but in fact, it’s a lowly position, not suitable for public. What does he think he’s doing?”
“Uncle, don’t listen to him. This Zhao Dacai just wants to act like a big shot in our situation, gloating over our misfortune, and taking the opportunity to criticize us. Isn’t it just because he didn’t become the village head before and is still harboring a grudge, and wants to see us make a fool of ourselves?”
“Shut up!” Zhao Qiancheng was already annoyed, and Zhao Ziping was chirping away in his ear, which made him even more annoyed. He scolded him, “You’re useless! You can’t even handle one woman. You might as well have fed your books to a dog!”
“Uncle, I…” Zhao Ziping felt even more wronged.
The book didn’t teach how to hook up with girls. Wasn’t it just because your scheme failed?
If it had been done as he suggested, capturing Zhou Daya directly, wouldn’t Zhou Daya have been obedient long ago?
Women are cheap, and whoever they are with, they belong to. It doesn’t matter if they are willing or not when the deed is done.
Zhao Ziping had a stomach full of words, but before he could say them, several people arrived at the courtyard gate.
Looking at their clothes, it seemed they were from the government office.
