Because of the recent farce, the Wen family's reputation in Yueya Village has been ruined. Third Uncle is a very face-conscious person, but these two people keep causing trouble every other day, and the family has lost all face.

When Zhang Sufen heard this, she felt as if she had been wronged for the ages, and she cried and wailed, "Uncle San really wants to wrong us to death. We thought we were a family, and we came here to help and live in harmony, but they humiliated us like this and even threw us out."

"Yes, Third Uncle, I wish I could hang myself here right now to prove our innocence."

"You are really good at confusing right and wrong. I will never make peace with you in this life. Don't even think about drinking our blood again! Chuyi, throw him out!"

Ye Xiuying's sudden anger caught the two sisters-in-law off guard. They knew that Ye Xiuying was weak, and no matter how much hatred and annoyance they had in their hearts, they couldn't show it. This time, she was determined to break up with them.

Zhang Sufen and Zhao Chunhua were thrown out of the door on Chuyi's day. They were immediately surrounded by villagers who came to watch the fun and gave comments. They hoped to gain some sympathy, but unexpectedly all they heard were scolding them.

Although they were angry, they could not argue with so many people, so they had to run back home in shame.

The eldest and third Wen were both sitting in the main room of Old Lady Wen. When they saw the two men running back with messy hair, they knew that things were not going well.

Boss Wen swallowed hard, "How did it get to this point? Can't you two handle Ye Xiuying?"

Zhang Sufen felt wronged when she heard her husband say that. "She is strong now, has money in her hands, and speaks in a tough manner. She started a quarrel there."

Old Lady Wen glanced at the two of them and said, "Chunhua, I don't know your temper. You can't keep your temper and can't even stand a few ugly words."

Zhao Chunhua said with a wronged look on her face: "Mom, we tried to be nice to Ye Xiuying yesterday but she ignored us. Today we all went to the new home to help with the work, but she asked that idiot to throw us out."

"Mom, don't blame Chunhua. Didn't you hear how ugly the words that money-loser said were?" Zhang Sufen said.

Old Mrs. Wen sighed deeply. If she could have been a little nicer to Ye Xiuying in the past, she would have gone there to try in person now. But what should she do now? She was watching a big house being built, but as a mother she could not get any benefit from it at all.

Wen Yufeng, who was sitting nearby embroidering, irritably cut her embroidery with scissors, "Mom, don't go. Even if I agree to join forces with them, I can't please them!"

"You can't do it. Do you have the ability to earn money?" Old Lady Wen said with a stern face.

Wen Yufeng was raised in pampered condition. When she saw her grandmother, who loved her the most, comparing her with Wen Qingcheng, how could the mute girl whom she had looked down upon the most since childhood, a mute girl who did rough work and cleaned the toilet for her, be compared with her?

For a moment, she felt irritated and uncomfortable, her nose felt sore, and she cried, "You think Wen Qingcheng is capable? Go and meet her and see if she will let you in!"

"Yufeng! How can you talk to your grandma like that? Apologize to her quickly!" Boss Wen smashed his pipe on Yufeng's desk.

Wen Yufeng threw the things in her hands and ran out crying. Wen Lao Da sighed, "This girl's temper is taken from someone else. Mother, you too, why do you say those things?"

Zhang Sufen suddenly thought of something and said, "Ye Xiuying said that the money they made was earned by that money-losing guy from practicing medicine."

Third Wen, who had been silent the whole time, took a sip of strong tea and said, "She can also cure diseases? What kind of disease can make so much money? She has enough money to build a house so quickly. Who knows if she is using this as a cover to do some shameful things. Her husband is a fool, she can do whatever she wants."

......

Wen Qingcheng and her daughter drove away Zhang Sufen and the others. Ye Xiuying was in a very low mood. Fortunately, Master Guo and his colleagues focused on their work and pretended nothing had happened.

Third uncle and cousin Wen Zhuo were now fed up with Zhang Sufen and the others, so they found a place under the shade of a tree in the backyard and sat down on a smooth brick.

"Sister-in-law, I have found the bricklayer you asked me to find. There are several bricklayers in our village who are good at craftsmanship and work carefully, but..."

Ye Xiuying looked at Wen Zhuo. She also wanted to ask about this today. "Is there any difficulty?"

"We had originally agreed to give you 100 coins a day as you said, but they all changed their minds, saying they had something urgent to do at home. So I didn't ask anyone else and I'm sorry for delaying you." Wen Zhuo said a little embarrassedly.

Wen Qingcheng felt that this could not be such a coincidence. Since he had agreed and then changed his mind at the last minute, he must have heard some bad rumors.

Ye Xiuying asked: "Brother, this is not your fault. Who are they from? I'll go ask and then talk to them properly."

"Mom, that's not necessary. I won't use someone who doesn't keep his word like this anymore."

Wen Zhuo was also very angry: "That's right, if you didn't want to go, you should have said so earlier. It's been a day since the construction started, isn't this delaying things?"

"Brother, no matter what, thank you for your hard work for our family." Ye Xiuying said politely.

"Sister-in-law! You're here again. Don't worry about this matter. I'll ask around. If it doesn't work, let Master Guo find one from outside, but the price will be a bit higher."

Seeing that it was noon, Wen Qingcheng and his group returned home. On the way, Ye Xiuying was thinking about the quarrel with Zhang Sufen and the others today. She kept muttering, "When they said I hid money, I was anxious to refute it, and told them about your medical practice to make money."

"They have been curious about our money for a long time. It doesn't matter. They will know it sooner or later."

"Mom is thinking that if they know you make money so quickly, they might have some evil intentions. Now I am not afraid of them doing it openly, but I am afraid that they will trip you up in secret."

"Humph, just a clown. I will be careful."

After saying that, the mother and daughter started to prepare lunch for the workers. At noon, Wen Qingcheng and Chuyi each carried a lunch box and went to the new house.

In the yard over there on the other side of the new house, there were several men from the village standing, watching Master Guo and his colleagues building the house, chatting intermittently.

"Master Guo, take a break and eat first." Wen Qingcheng found a simple table and put the food, bowls and chopsticks on it.

Several villagers who came to watch the house being built gathered around, and were dumbfounded when they saw the work meals prepared on the table.

“This is delicious!”

Wen Qingcheng and the others didn't cook anything delicious. They just steamed a pot of rice, cooked two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and boiled a pot of mung bean soup.

Master Guo and his two apprentices washed their hands and came over following the aroma. Wen Qingcheng had already served them rice. The rice was piled high and paired with shiny fried vegetables. A mouthful of mung bean soup quenched their thirst and cooled them off.

All the villagers who were watching were very greedy. The food in Wenjiao was so delicious. You have to know that their staple food on weekdays was corn cakes, and they didn't eat meat every day. This fragrant rice could only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

While Wen Qingcheng and Chuyi were away, a few people started to inquire about Master Guo and the others.

"How much do you make per day?"
