The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug - Chapter 67
67 Chapter 67: Dealing with Jealousy
Aunt Wang sat on the ground in shock.
When the surrounding villagers saw this scene, they were also quite frightened.
Then, they all started to blame Qin Xiaoyao.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang knew that she had the upper hand in public opinion, so she immediately slapped the ground and began wailing.
!!
“Boo hoo hoo… what sin have I committed! I’m kind enough to send vegetables to your house, yet you guys just refuse to accept it!”
“And you’re still picking on me! We are fellow villagers, yet your Song family insists on making things difficult for an old woman like me? Boo hoo hoo…”
“Boo hoo hoo… there’s no justice in this world!”
Her shrill voice cut through the air, making the surrounding people more and more agitated.
Qin Xiaoyao furrowed her brows when she saw this.
She really wanted to rush over and kick that unreasonable old bitch to death, but after thinking about it, she decided to endure her.
“All of you, shut up!” she bellowed out.
Her voice reverberated so strongly that it suppressed Aunt Wang’s crying and the sound of surrounding discussions.
At this moment, an elderly woman suddenly stood up and said, “Eldest Son Song’s wife…” She wanted to persuade Qin Xiaoyao.
However, when Qin Xiaoyao shot her a sharp look, the other party stopped in her tracks and didn’t dare to come closer.
“You… sigh! She’s still your aunt after all. You’re so…” Though the elderly woman didn’t show it on her face, she still voiced out her thoughts even though she was a little afraid of Qin Xiaoyao.
The chilliness in Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes grew even colder.
“What aunt? She’s a trouble-making bitch!”
Qin Xiaoyao paid no attention to the shocked expressions of the people around her after they heard her vulgarities. She pointed at the basket of vegetables she had thrown outside.
“I’ve already made it clear when I collect vegetables. First, the quality of the vegetables had to pass the quality test. It had to be at least on par with the quality of the vegetables on the market. Second, you need to tell me in advance before you can sell farm vegetables.”
“This person didn’t even give us a heads up before barging in here with the vegetables.”
“Also, everyone, take a look. What kind of vegetables did she bring?”
Everyone then looked at Aunt Wang’s vegetables.
They found that these vegetables had indeed not been sorted out, and the withered leaves had not been removed.
“Such vegetables were sent to my house, and you even wanted us to accept them? Do you think we’re fools?” Qin Xiaoyao glared at Aunt Wang in anger.
“You… you have cut the price of the vegetables by half. Why should I… only sell you the good vegetable?” Seeing that the way the crowd looked at her had changed, Auntie Wang rebutted.
Qin Xiaoyao almost laughed out of anger when she heard her words.
“So, I’m not allowed to earn a single coin from you, and I’m supposed to deliver the vegetables to Fortune Mansion for free?”
Before Aunt Wang could reply, Qin Xiaoyao’s face darkened again.
“What I’m supposed to do is, waste my energy to help you sort out the vegetables, then spend the effort to push the vegetables from the village to the town early in the morning, and then hand them over to Fortune Mansion at my own loss?”
With that, Qin Xiaoyao kicked Aunt Wang’s basket.
“If you don’t like the fact that I’m earning this 5% per catty, you can carry the vegetables into town and pay for the entrance fee yourself, then go to Fortune Mansion or the market to sell them.”
“Try and see if Fortune Mansion is willing to accept your goods. Also, you can see if you can sell all of them at one copper per catty!”
As Qin Xiaoyao spoke, she looked at the people around him.
“It’s the same for all the neighbors. If you feel that the Song family should not earn this money, you can choose not to sell the vegetables to the Song family. I, Qin Sanya, will never force you to buy or sell!”
As soon as these words came out, the people who were watching the show retreated a little.
Some of them were indeed jealous of the Song family using this method to earn money.
However, after thinking through carefully, firstly, Qin Sanya had connections with Fortune Mansion. Secondly, she had to put in the effort to send the goods into town, so she was not just sitting idly, collecting money.
In short, it was only right for them to earn this money.
“That may be true, but Song family’s daughter-in-law… she is still your senior. You’re just a junior…” The elderly woman stepped forward again.
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Xiaoyao shot another glance at her and made her shut up again.
“What senior and junior? Whoever comes to my house to find trouble is one who needs to be taught a lesson!”
“Grandma Wang, if you can’t stand it, just don’t come to my house in the future!”
“Also, don’t come to our house to sell your goods anymore. We don’t want to earn your Wang family’s money!”
That was right. This elderly woman was also from the Wang family. Moreover, she was Aunt Wang’s mother-in-law.
However, she was now living in Second Uncle Wang’s house, which was not far from Aunt Wang’s house.
She stood up for Aunt Wang, not because she felt that her eldest daughter-in-law was right, but because she couldn’t stand Qin Xiaoyao, a junior, bullying a senior and causing the Wang family to lose face.
Nevertheless, she didn’t expect Qin Xiaoyao not to extend her any courtesy, and blurted out these words.
As soon as Qin Xiaoyao said these words, old Grandma Wang’s expression changed.
“The same goes for the rest of you. If you don’t like the Song family, you don’t have to sell your goods to us.” Qin Xiaoyao continued. This was the second time she had expressed this intention.
“When I first decided to collect goods in the village, my original intention was to make things convenient for our neighbors and earn a bit of money for our labor.”
“But since someone is getting jealous, then don’t blame me for turning them away.”
“To put it bluntly, whether it’s selling straw sandals at a low price or purchasing the mountain products and vegetables from the villagers, I’m doing all this for the sake of the villagers.”
“Otherwise, if I lower the price a little and go to the nearby Brook Rise Village to collect mountain products and vegetables, I don’t have to worry about not being able to get them. It just takes a bit more effort.”
“If we take a step back, even if the Song family doesn’t do this business anymore, with my family’s skill in weaving straw sandals and my harvests from the mountains, I don’t have to worry about not being able to make money.”
As soon as she said this, some people’s expressions changed.
“Gosh, Sanya! Don’t lower yourself to the same level as those petty-minded people. We’re all here to support your family in this business.” A woman stood out and said.
“That’s right! If we can’t finish eating the vegetables from the fields, it takes a lot of effort to send them to town, and then we may not be able to sell all of them off. Rather than feeding them to livestock or letting them rot in the ground, it’s better to send them to your house for some money!” Another woman said.
“And the mountain goods in the mountains too. If we pick them on the way while doing other stuff, we can still exchange them for money at your house. How can we not be happy?”
“With your relationship with Fortune Mansion, you’ve been collecting goods and running errands for everyone. It’s only right for you to make some money! There’s no need to care about those who are jealous!”
In an instant, the direction of public opinion changed drastically.
It was mainly because some people had long disliked Aunt Wang. They also heard what Qin Xiaoyao said just now. It seemed like the Wang family had the intention of stirring up anger among the villagers.
They couldn’t hold their peace anymore and began to speak up for justice.
The few women who stood out to speak were the ones who had come to the Song family to sell vegetables these few days.
Some of their family members had even come to the Song family to sell mountain products.
They had just enjoyed the benefits and felt they could work with the Song family for a long time. How could they allow the Song family to stop this business?
“You… you guys…” Old Grandma Wang was so angry that she wanted to faint.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t take her seriously.
“Fellow Aunts and Sisters-in-law, it’s good that you all can understand! Our Song family still welcomes all of you reasonable fellow villagers.”
“Fellow Aunts and Sisters-in-law, if you’re still willing to sell the vegetables to our Song family, you can still send them over.”
“Of course, the rules are the same as before. First, the quality of the vegetables must pass the test. Second, you have to make an appointment in advance if you want to sell farm vegetables.”
