Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

The second after they stepped out of the door, the shopkeeper immediately called them.

"Miss, please don't leave in such a hurry. Let's sit down and talk it over. Why bother taking it to the government? It will be embarrassing for everyone."

If this matter were to be reported to the government, the boss would definitely be called in for questioning. Although he, as the shopkeeper, might not be fired, he would definitely be scolded.

If I get into trouble in front of my boss, I will be the one who is in trouble, so I must not make it known to them.

"Alright, I don't mean to make a big deal out of this. You have two choices now." Yun Zhenzhen held up two fingers calmly. "First, replace the current three-courtyard house with the new one we agreed on. Every blade of grass and every tree in it must be brand new. Second, let's go directly to the government and have the officials review this case to see who is right."

The shopkeeper's expression froze. No matter whether it was the first or the second option, he didn't want to choose either of these two paths.

"You stinky bitch, you did this on purpose, coming to our pawnshop to cause trouble, didn't you?" Old Zhang couldn't stand it any longer. He pointed at Yun Zhenzhen's nose and cursed, "There's no such thing as a new house. The one we showed you from the beginning was a second-hand house. You're coming here now just to extort money. You're simply asking for a fight."

Daqiang lowered his head and followed behind him, saying softly, "The master said it himself when he introduced it. This is a new courtyard, and you can move in right away. All the furniture inside is brand new. Otherwise, this girl wouldn't have bought it so readily..."

"You bastard, you've had enough of life. You actually dared to make up lies to deceive me."

Old Zhang was completely furious and wanted to rush over and hit the man, but was stopped by the shopkeeper, who scolded him harshly: "Don't you think the trouble you caused is big enough? You actually dared to hit someone in front of so many of us. I didn't know you were like this every day. It seems that I don't know you well enough."

Outside the door, the noisy voices of the crowd had already attracted a large number of passers-by to watch, and they were all pointing and talking about the dental clinic.

Many people in Yuzhou City have done business and rented here, and many of them have come into contact with Lao Zhang. They have long been dissatisfied with him for his arrogant and flattering attitude, so they are standing at the door and talking loudly.

The shopkeeper was almost furious when he saw this scene. Old Zhang was always cleaning up his own mess and causing trouble for himself. If things got really out of hand, he would be in trouble himself.

He kicked Lao Zhang on the buttocks and said, "We must not make a big deal out of this now. No matter whose fault it is, you must apologize first and calm them down."

Old Zhang's face was filled with rage, and he was about to retort, "Why should I apologize? They're the ones picking on me, and I've done nothing wrong. Shopkeeper, can't you see? I should just hand them over to the authorities..."

Hearing his roar, Yun Zhenzhen took two steps closer and spoke softly, her voice like a devil's whisper: "That's right, you're right. I'm here today to deliberately pick a fight with you, to ruin your reputation. What can you do to me? Don't you understand now? Your boss is clearly on my side. If you continue to make trouble, all the compensation will be paid by you in the end. I don't know if you can even afford a brand new house now..."

Old Zhang's eyes suddenly widened, wishing he could strangle Yun Zhenzhen to death.

This little bitch actually dared to threaten me in front of so many people.

After finishing her words, Yun Zhenzhen took two steps back and then spoke magnanimously, "I'm not unreasonable. I know a brand new house would be much more expensive. I won't dwell on the problems that you guys in the pawnshop have caused. As long as you compensate me with fifty taels of silver and have the perpetrator apologize to the child next to me, I'll let this matter go."

Old Zhang clenched his fists tightly and his face was gloomy.

The other people in the room were also bystanders. How could they not understand anything at this point? They all spoke out to try to mediate.

"Old Zhang, we're not saying anything against you. The money was originally Daqiang's, but you insisted on interfering. Now you've made such a big fuss that our pharmacy has lost all face."

"That's right. If your bad reputation gets out, everyone's business will be affected, and our monthly salary will also be reduced. You can't drag us all down by yourself, right?"

"You were the one who did something wrong in the first place. You didn't sell the house properly, and you just kept staring at the little money in other people's hands all day. Now something's wrong, right?"

"Who says it's not true? I've tried to persuade him, but he won't listen."

"..."

After selling the three-courtyard house, the commission he received was 33 taels of silver. Now it has become 50 taels, and he has lost more than 10 taels of silver.

Thinking that he had to pay all this money himself, Lao Zhang was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

The shopkeeper finally understood what was going on. He didn't expect that it was Lao Zhang who embezzled other people's commissions, which led to all these troubles.

He kicked Lao Zhang in the calf, his tone filled with anger: "I'll say one last thing, you have to spit out the money now and apologize to the child, otherwise don't even think about coming here again, and don't even think about getting a penny of the money this month."

Old Zhang was so angry that he almost died, but things had come to this point and he couldn't refuse to pay. He couldn't just give up this lucrative job for a dozen taels of silver.

He still understands the principle of sacrificing the small to protect the big.

Then, he reached into his sleeve with a painful feeling, took out his purse, gritted his teeth and threw it over: "The money is all in here, take it yourself."

Yun Zhenzhen took it and counted it, then looked at him with a sneer: "There are only thirty-three taels of silver in here, and I just said fifty taels."

Old Zhang was really holding his breath and couldn't let it out. He searched all over his body and could only find two taels of silver. He had no choice but to borrow the rest of the money from a familiar manager and handed it over reluctantly.

While handing over the money, those eyes stared at them gloomily, as if they wanted to eat them.

"Have you forgotten something? Do you need us to remind you?" Ning Shan chimed in from behind. After a long silence, he finally found the opportunity to speak: "Daqiang, this child has suffered so much injustice and so many wounds at your hands. Shouldn't you apologize?"

The shopkeeper glanced at him and said, "Did you hear that? Apologize to this kid right away."

Thinking about the money he had just given out, with only the last step left, Lao Zhang could only surrender and whisper: "Da Qiang, it was Master's fault. I'm sorry."
