Wang Fang spoke with such confidence, and just then, Ruan Jing rushed out, her face flushed with anger as she shouted, "Yes, we have to do something about her! Life is unbearable; I’m about to take my college entrance exams! Every day you’re frying chili oil, and the smell is everywhere. How am I supposed to study? If I don’t get into college, it’s your fault!"
Su Mingxian couldn't help but laugh in disbelief. "Oh, that's quite strange. There are many reasons for not getting into college, but I've never heard of anyone blaming chili oil for it."
"You—" Ruan Jing's face turned bright red with rage. "You country bumpkin, don’t get too smug! Hmph! Spending my cousin's money and causing trouble outside. Just wait until my cousin finds out how he’ll deal with you. You better hand over the money to me for safekeeping with my grandma; otherwise—"
Su Mingxian sneered, "Otherwise what? Planning to rob me? Come on then—"
With that, she lifted a large stone at the entrance and threw it towards them.
Bang—
They screamed in shock and stumbled back several steps, nearly tripping over the threshold.
Su Mingxian glanced at them disdainfully. "Is what I said not clear enough? Don’t use Shen Chi to intimidate me. If you have the guts, let him come here and divorce me right now. If not, just keep quiet. If you think you can take advantage of me financially, go ahead and try."
Her sudden display of strength left everyone speechless; truly, this country woman had some power behind her.
Those with ulterior motives gulped nervously; who would dare to challenge her?
After asserting herself, Su Mingxian stood tall. "I can spend my own earnings however I like. Sister Liu is diligent and serious in her work; her salary of nine hundred is well-deserved. I'm willing to pay that. Besides, my business is thriving and I need more hands. If anyone is interested, feel free to apply; the salary will match Sister Liu's."
Everyone was left in shock, mouths agape. Fat Aunt was the first to jump in, "Xiao Su, are you serious?"
Su Mingxian smiled and said, "Of course, just ask Xiao Wang if you don't believe me."
Fat Aunt immediately turned her gaze to her nephew, and Wang Daguo had received several orders in the past few days, earning quite a bit of commission. He was so happy that his mouth seemed to stretch all the way to his ears.
"Is there any doubt? Sister Xian said it’s a job, so it must be a good one."
Fat Aunt was thrilled, and the neighbors were excited too. "Is there really such a good thing? Xiao Su, count me in!"
"Me too! Me too—"
Everyone hurried to sign up, afraid they might miss out.
However, Wang Fang's face turned pale with anger as she shouted, "Don't listen to her nonsense! How much can someone selling Liangpi earn? Hiring people? Be careful you won't even be able to pay their wages; you'll be the ones crying later."
After Wang Fang's outburst, everyone snapped back to reality. "That's right! What if she can't pay us? We need some kind of guarantee."
So everyone looked at Su Mingxian with eager expressions, but she remained expressionless. "If you believe it, then come. If you don't, then forget it. As for guarantees, sorry, I really don’t have any."
Upon hearing this, disappointment washed over the crowd. "Without a guarantee, who would dare to go?"
"Exactly! Well, forget it. Even though the current job pays less, at least it’s stable; we get paid every month."
Su Mingxian ignored their chatter and returned home. Her son Yang Yang happily rushed toward her, calling out repeatedly, "Mom—"
She happily kissed her son on the cheek, then gently patted Qian Qian's head. "Was your little brother good today?"
Qian Qian's big eyes sparkled. "Mom, he was really good!"
The family chatted and laughed, while behind them, Wang Daguo was almost in tears. "Sister Xian, what you just said... who is going to make Liangpi for us now?"
He was worried sick. They had just taken on a few new orders, and what if they couldn't deliver? Yet here they were, playing with the kids as if nothing mattered. How could they be so carefree?
