Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Whose Shop Is It?
They actually made 60 yuan today, after deducting costs, about 50 yuan.
The Qin Family siblings shared 25 yuan each, Aunt Hua got half, and Aunt Hua gave her own sister five yuan. In a month’s time, that amounted to a hundred and fifty yuan. A hundred and fifty yuan, good heavens! The monthly salary of a worker is only about thirty yuan, and here are these uneducated middle-aged women without any skills, yet they can earn so much money in a month. Upon receiving the money, Aunt Hua’s sister burst into tears. Aunt Hua had to console her for quite a while before they closed up the shop early and went back to the village.
As soon as they reached the village, they heard the news,
Qin Guohua found out about the shop, mistook it for belonging to the two Qin siblings, and ran to Chen Laosan to make a fuss. A few slaps later, Qin Xiangnuan’s ears were beaten till nearly deaf.
Aunt Hua was instantly furious, her eyes reddened with anger, and the money in her hands felt burning hot.
In the Village Chief’s house, Qin Xiangyang held his sister’s hand tightly, without shedding a single tear, but his little lips were pressed firmly together. Qin Xiangnuan, on the other hand, pretended to be clueless, looking around as if nothing happened, feigning deafness.
It wasn’t really that painful. Initially, after being slapped, her ears were buzzing, but now the buzzing had stopped, and she could hear clearly again. However, even the village doctor said her ears might become deaf, so she decided to act deaf.
"It’s good that you’ve come, Hua Family," Hu Li saw Aunt Hua, and it was like enemies meeting, her eyes brimming with hatred. She hadn’t found a single penny and had been seething with anger. Today, no matter what, she was determined to take back the shop. It was the Qin Family’s shop. She was still alive; how could she let others profit from it?
"Give back our Qin Family’s shop," she demanded, chin raised and with a fierce tone. "If not, we’ll go to the police station."
"Our Qin Family’s shop?" Aunt Hua truly felt like Hu Li’s brain had been squeezed by a door.
"Hu Li, that is our Hua Family’s shop. When did it become yours?"
"Those two brats are surnamed Qin," Hu Li clenched her teeth so hard they made a crunching sound, cursing the Qin siblings in her heart again. Ungrateful wolves, not yet fully grown and already betraying their own.
"What does this have to do with Yangyang and Xiang Nuan?" Aunt Hua’s face turned cold. This was all arranged in advance; Qin Xiangnuan even had Aunt Hua rehearse it several times. Once as a trial, twice confirming the story. Now, Aunt Hua spoke these words smoothly, without blushing or panting. Who could accuse her of lying?
"Xiang Nuan and Yangyang had been working for that family for a few months. The shop owner went back to his hometown a while ago and sold the shop to me. I paid for it, we have the contract at home, with white paper and a red handprint, clear and explicit. Besides hitting children, what else can you do? You don’t take care of the children, and they fend for themselves. They’ve cut ties with you, how dare you strike two kids and now demand our shop? How shameless are you, Hu Li, to boldly ask for our shop? What relation does our Hua Family have with you, and what does it have to do with your Qin Family?"
Hu Li’s face flushed as if Aunt Hua had slapped her. She raised her voice high, "Even if it’s bought by you, so what? Could you have bought it without those two kids? If they had told us about this, we could have come up with the money as well."
