Wang Fang spoke with such confidence, and just then, Ruan Jing rushed out, her face flushed with anger as she accused, "Yes, we need to do something about her! Life is unbearable; I’m about to take my college entrance exams! You’re always frying chili oil, and the smell is everywhere. How am I supposed to study? If I don’t get into college, it’ll be your fault!"
Su Mingxian couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief. "Oh, this is quite amusing. 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 while messing around outside. Just wait until he finds out how he’ll deal with you. If you’re smart, you’ll hand over the money for my grandma to keep; otherwise—"
Su Mingxian sneered, "Otherwise what? Planning to rob me? Come on then—"
As soon as she finished speaking, she lifted a large stone from the doorway and hurled it toward them.
Bang—
They screamed 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 pressure me. If you have the guts, bring him here to divorce me right now. If not, just keep quiet. If you think you can get money from me, go ahead and try."
Her sudden display of strength left everyone dumbfounded; no wonder she was a country girl—she had some real muscle.
Those with ulterior motives gulped nervously; who would dare challenge her?
After intimidating them, Su Mingxian stood tall and straight. "I can spend my own money however I want. Sister Liu is diligent and serious in her work; her nine hundred yuan salary is well-deserved. I’m willing to pay that. Besides, my business is growing, and I need more hands. If anyone’s interested, feel free to sign up; the salary will match Sister Liu ’s."
Everyone was left gaping in shock, and Fat Aunt was the first to jump up. "Xiao Su, are you serious?"
Su Mingxian smiled and said, "Of course, just ask Xiao Wang."
Fat Aunt immediately turned her gaze to her nephew, and Wang Daguo had recently taken on several jobs, earning a good commission. He was so happy that his smile seemed to stretch from ear to ear.
"How could there be any doubt? Sister Xian said there are jobs, so there must be!"
Fat Aunt was delighted, 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 would 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 might not even be able to pay their wages. You'll regret it later!"
After Wang Fang's words, everyone snapped back to reality. "Right! What if we can't pay them? We need some sort of guarantee."
So everyone looked at Su Mingxian with eager expressions, but she remained expressionless. "If you believe it, then come. If not, then forget it. As for guarantees, I'm sorry, but 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 jobs pay less, at least they provide a safety net; we get paid every month."
Su Mingxian ignored the chatter and returned home. Her son Yang Yang joyfully rushed towards her, calling out repeatedly, "Mom—"
She happily kissed her son on the cheek and then patted Qian Qian's head. "Was your little brother good today?"
Qian Qian's big eyes sparkled. "Mommy, he was really good!"
The family chatted and laughed, while behind them, Wang Daguo was almost in tears. "Sister Xian, after what you just said, who’s going to make us Liangpi 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 everything was fine. How could they be so carefree?
