See the officials? Not really.

"Let me tell you, my name is Shen Rou, and Lin Ting is my cousin's wife. Her sister is the owner of the Tea House, so we are relatives.

You are just a young man, please don't force me. Let me go first, and wait until I get the silver, and then bring it to settle the bill."

Shen Rou is now good at making connections. Just now, she joined outsiders in bullying their boss.

Xiaofu is a shrewd man, and even this little trick can't escape his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense. Come, take her to the county government office."

Several guys came forward immediately and scared Shen Rou badly. Lin Ting also disappeared. He really didn't care about her at all.

Her father might have the opportunity to become an official in the future, so she absolutely cannot go to the county government.

"No, I...I'm going to work..."

Xiaofu asked the others to serve, and he and another waiter took Shen Rou to the backyard.

"Mute, bring all the tools for cleaning the toilet and let her do it today."

The mute woman is responsible for cleaning the Tea House. She is only in her forties and no one knows what she has experienced. She has white hair and her tongue has been cut off.

Lin Lin felt sorry for her and kept her in the Tea House to clean. Because she couldn't speak, everyone called her the Mute Woman.

Soon, the mute woman brought tools and a bucket and asked Shen Rou to wash.

"Hurry up! If you can't wash it clean today, continue washing it tomorrow until you finish it and pay back the thirty cents you paid. Otherwise, you'll keep doing it."

Shen Rou had never done such a thing before, and she burst into tears.

She cried and worked hard: "...Wuwuwu, you all bully me, you all bully me. One day, I will make all of you regret it..."

After finally cleaning the toilet, Xiaofu brought down all the servants' spare clothes and threw them into a big bucket.

"Hurry up and wash all of this for me."

Seeing a pile of dirty and smelly men's clothes, Shen Rou wanted to die.

She was really tired. Not only was she tired, but her body was also full of the stench of sweat and toilet.

Everyone here was targeting her, crying and washing at the same time.

Xiaofu let her out only after he had swept the floor clean.

And it was almost dark.

She had no money on her, so she had to walk home. Fortunately, there was a moon in the sky, so she wasn't blinded by the dark.

"Lin Ting, I hate you, wuwuwu... I am not having a good life, and I will definitely not let you have an easy life, wuwuwu..."

Lin Ting returned home, tidied himself up, and taught Shen Wanyi how to read. About an hour later, Shen Rou returned home in a mess.

Back in the yard, she glared fiercely at Lin Ting on the other side of the fence, then ran to the main house of the Shen family in a dishevel and with a red face.

"Dad, Mom... I've been bullied..."

When I entered the room, I saw Shen Jizu lying on the bed and unwilling to get up and walk, and Xu was busy washing Shen Jizu's feet.

"Rou'er, what's that smell on you? Did you fall into the cesspool?"

Shen Rou cried in grievance, but Shen Jizu just glanced at her and continued to lie down. He could not be the chief clerk anymore, and he could not even eat, so how could he have the energy to take care of Shen Rou's affairs.

"Mom, it's Lin Ting. It's all because of her."

When she heard that it was Lin Ting, Xu suddenly stood up with a frown on her face.

"Rou'er, tell me what's going on."

Shen Rou cried breathlessly: "Mom, do you know? Lin Ting has a sister who is now the owner of the Tea House in Wenzhu County.

We just said a few words to Lin Ting, and her sister got angry and drove my sisters away. I didn't have the money to pay for the tea.

They made me do so much work, Mom, I have never done so much work in my life.

I'm also asked to clean the toilet. I might not be able to eat or sleep for several days and nights."

When Shen Rou finished speaking, Shen's mother happened to walk in. She couldn't hear anything else, but she could hear clearly that Lin Ting's sister had opened a teahouse.

"Shen Rou, what did you just say about the Tea House? Is Lin Ting's sister Lin Lin the owner?"

Shen Rou thought that Shen's mother came in to ask these questions in order to stand up for her, so she quickly told her everything she knew.

"Chayulou is the most popular teahouse in Wenzhu County. A plate of cakes alone costs fifty cents.

It’s enough for us to eat for several days, and most of the people who go there for tea are wealthy people.”

Fifty cents?

Mother Shen knew that a pound of pastries outside was only worth about this much silver, and in the teahouse, they usually didn't even have a pound.

"So you mean that Lin Lin is making a lot of money now, right?"

Shen's mother's eyes lit up, and she said that Shen Qingzhou's family suddenly became better off. It turned out that it was because they had an aunt with money.

"Maybe 70, 80, or even more than 100 taels a day."

Shen Rou said this casually, and it was just her feeling, because the things in Chayulou were really expensive, and the young men and women from rich families were particularly willing to spend the money.

"If you earn so much every day, doesn't that mean you have too much money to spend?"

The more she talked, the more her mother's mood became off track. Why was she so happy? Shouldn't she go to Lin Ting to speak up for Shen Rou?

"Grandma, your granddaughter is being bullied now. It's really too much for you to go with us to find Lin Tingting to seek justice."

How could Shen's mother have the mood to look for Lin Ting now? Her thoughts were drifting elsewhere.

For Shen Jizu, they had no money left, but they had a super rich relative in their family.

Shen Dali's family built a house, which must have been the result of Lin Lin's unused money being given to them.

If such a relative slips through your fingers, it will be a huge fortune for you.

Just thinking about it made Shen's mother so happy that she couldn't sleep.

"Why are you looking for Lin Ting? Go find him yourself. I can't scold that bitch any more than I can."

She had never been able to rely on Shen's mother. Looking at Shen Jizu lying in bed all day, Xu had been filled with anger these days.

He pulled Shen Rou and walked out, heading towards where Lin Ting was with a fierce look on his face.

"Lin Ting, you actually teamed up with outsiders to bully my Rou'er today. Can't you tell the difference between inside and outside?

After all, you are also a member of the Shen family. No matter what, Rou'er is still your sister-in-law and a member of your husband's family."

Lin Ting was speechless. Couldn't this mother and daughter just be quiet for a while?

"Xiaobao, go play with grandpa. We can't learn any bad words, okay?"

Shen Wanyi nodded and went into Shen Dali's room.

Lin Ting stood up, folded his arms and looked at Shen Rou and Xu's mother and son.

"Who is colluding with outsiders to bully whom? We can just ask the people from the Tea House to come and testify.

Shen Rou insulted my reputation outside, and I was merciful not to make a fuss about it. Besides, she went to drink Bawang Tea on her own and got caught, so what does it have to do with me?"
