Chapter 743: Chapter 743 The Replicas Are Better (3)_1

Old Man Feng also knew that his daughter-in-law was somewhat in the wrong, but five hundred taels of silver, and in one breath taking away two hundred from them—that was gouging out his heart, slicing his flesh!

But Feng Shouxing didn’t dare to truly call for a doctor, for Pei Qian, in her state, was not afraid to make a scene. Making a scene would not benefit them in the least. He rushed over to pinch Grandma Feng’s acupoint and revived her.

Grandma Feng burst into tears at once and was about to start crying out loud.

"You’d better cry so that everyone in the entire village comes to see, and let all the villagers know what you’ve done! It’d also be good for them to understand our family’s stance, and not to speak or act under the guise of our family name again," Pei Qian sneered coldly.

Grandma Feng choked up instantly, not daring to wail loudly anymore.

"Hurry up and pay the silver, don’t waste time here! Otherwise, we’ll see each other at the Government Office!" Pei Qian said impatiently.

Feng Shouxing hurried Fang Hui along; she was in charge of the household money.

Fang Hui ground her teeth bitterly, but with no other choice, she returned to the room filled with resentment, unlocked the chest, and reluctantly took out one hundred taels of silver, "This is all there is! We have to leave some change for living expenses! You can’t take everything and leave our family with nothing to live on!"

"Because we want to leave enough for your family to live on, we’ve left you some and are only asking for two hundred for now. If you’re unwilling, we can settle this at the Government Office! Don’t think I don’t know you’ve hidden more money! If the Government Office comes to collect, it won’t just be this much!" Pei Qian said furiously.

This wretched little Pei Qian, she will surely not die a good death! Fang Hui cursed bitterly in her heart. Despite her immense unwillingness, she still brought out the silver.

Seeing two hundred bright shiny taels of silver being taken away by Pei Qian, Grandma Feng’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted again for lack of air.

Pei Qian, holding the silver, turned and left.

But Fang Hui called out to them, "Stop! It was you who stole our business, snatching away all the cabbages that were promised to us!"

Pei Qian turned around, and with a cold smile said, "You have opened a noodle shop, you don’t lack capital, how could you still make pickled cabbage!? Besides, the pickled cabbage is ours to make however much we want!" She took the silver and boarded the horse carriage, leaving.

It was extremely rare for horse carriages to come to the village. If it wasn’t for transporting goods, it must definitely be the Feng family’s nephew’s home. The people of Feng Family Estate still guessed that the visit from Pei Qin’s family was to give Fang Hui’s house some kind of benefit. Her maiden family had opened a Sweet Potato Flour Workshop, allowing people from three villages to work there and share in the profits. If their village could also open some kind of workshop and everyone could earn money by investing, that would be most ideal!

But as soon as Sister Peiqin and her sisters’ carriage had left, cries and curses came from Fang Hui’s house. They hurried over to see what had happened.

After Grandma Feng woke up, she began to cry. Fang Hui had accidentally bumped into one of Pei Qin’s family’s decorations, prompting them to demand five hundred taels of silver in compensation, even writing an IOU and forcing them to sign and press their fingerprints. They had just entered their home and demanded all the savings of the Feng family’s past generations, "...They are so wealthy, yet they still force us to a dead end!"

Everyone was shocked and somewhat disbelieving, "That can’t be! They taught the Fang Hui family how to make pickled cabbage, which hasn’t earned them a small amount of money!"

Yet some believed it, otherwise, Grandma Feng would not have fainted, and the faces of Feng Shouxing, Fang Hui, and Old Man Feng would not look so ugly and defeated, "Them being nieces, this is too much! Even if they accidentally touched something from their house, they shouldn’t force the auntie’s family like this!"

"What do we know, we didn’t see the situation, better not to speak carelessly."

"That’s true! Who knows what happened! Their family had just learned to make He La noodles and sesame paste baked flatbreads, and even opened a shop in the county town. No one knows what’s really going on here!"
