Chapter 66: Using Filial Piety To Suppress Others
“Yo? The entire family is here? My house hasn’t been built yet. It’s possible that a stone might fall at anytime. If anyone dies, it won’t be my fault.” Xu Qing looked at Chen Qiulian and the others blocking her door and couldn’t help but feel disgusted. Those brats actually ran back and forth to her house and treated this place as their property.
The workers also wanted to build a house, but with so many people blocking them, they couldn’t continue working, so they all stopped.
“Little bitch, you actually dared to curse your elders!” Zhao Bing was the first to scold.
“You keep calling me a little bitch. I can’t be bothered with you. If I’m a little bitch, then the entire Xu family is full of old bitchs. It turns out that the Xu family is filled with bitches.” Xu Qing was already angry today, so she scolded them without restraint.
Zhao Bing’s eyes widened. How could she have forgotten that this little bitch was no longer as submissive as before?
Chen Qiulian glared at Zhao Bing in dissatisfaction. “Shut up if you don’t know what to say.”
Zhao Bing shut her mouth in dissatisfaction. If it weren’t for the fact that this was related to her husband, she wouldn’t have stood up. Everyone knew that Xu Jiangnan knew how to do woodworking. Xu Qing actually found someone else to do it and gave the money to an outsider.
Old Master Xu kept looking at Xu Qing. His third son’s daughter was really capable now. He looked at the straw hut that had yet to be demolished and said, “Little Qing, let’s go in and talk.”
“Don’t. My straw hut is very small. I’m afraid it won’t be able to fit you. If it collapses again and something happens to you, I won’t be able to sleep.” Xu Qing had nothing to say to this heartless old man.
Old Master Xu glared at her angrily. Did she think he didn’t understand what she meant? After a long time, he said, “I heard that you did business with the people in town. Leave the carpentry work to your second uncle.”
Hearing this, Xu Jiangnan and Zhao Bing looked smug, as if they were about to earn big bucks.
Old Master Xu said it matter-of-factly. Xu Qing was so angry that she laughed. Chen Shanxing and his family felt disdainful. As for the others at the construction site, they didn’t understand the exact reason and didn’t say anything.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t make the decision.” How could Xu Qing agree?
“Why can’t you make the decision? Didn’t you introduce Chen Shanxing and his son to the job?” Old Master Xu looked dissatisfied.
Xu Jiangzhong also said, “Little Qing, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but why don’t you think about your family when you have such a good business opportunity? Don’t you know that our family has been unable to make ends meet? How can you bear to see your grandparents working so hard to earn money at such an old age?”
Xu Jiangzhong spoke righteously, causing everyone to discuss spiritedly. Filial piety was very important. In their opinion, there were only children with bad conduct in this world. Parents were always right since they had given their children life.
Xu Qing sneered. “I think if Fifth Uncle hadn’t gone to the entertainment club in town, Grandpa and Grandma wouldn’t have to work so hard to earn money at such an old age.”
The moment she said this, everyone’s expressions became even more interesting, especially Mo Qiu and Zhao Bing.
“I was wondering why Fifth Brother spent so much money so quickly. So he went to such a place…” Zhao Bing said sarcastically.
“Fifth Brother is really filial. Our family ate rotten vegetables for you, yet you go out and squander the money!” Mo Qiu said with an unfriendly expression.
Chen Qiulian saw that the situation was wrong and immediately said angrily, “Xu Qing! What nonsense are you talking about? How can your fifth uncle go to such a place?!”
Xu Jiangzhong was flustered. “Little Qing, how can you spout nonsense? I’m still a student.”
Xu Qing played with her long hair and said aloofly, “Three days ago, I saw Fifth Uncle wearing green clothes in town. There was even a white bamboo embroidered on his sleeve and his chest was dyed…”
“Shut up!” Before Xu Qing could finish speaking, she was stopped by Old Master Xu. He looked at Xu Qing and recalled the situation three days ago. He panicked and didn’t dare to let Xu Qing continue.
If they were really found out, Xu Jiangzhong’s reputation would be ruined. At that time, the village’s fear and envy of their family would disappear.
Xu Qing smiled and looked at Old Master Xu with flickering eyes. On the other hand, Old Master Xu’s expression was gloomy. “Forget it. Since someone already has the job, it’s not good for us to interfere. Let’s go home.”
Looking at Old Master Xu, Chen Qiulian and the others didn’t dare to object and could only leave unwillingly.
Xu Jiangzhong looked at Xu Qing with a very vicious gaze. He had secretly saved enough money and went there once, but she actually saw him! When he had the ability, he would deal with her!
