Chapter 379: The trouble comes to the house again
The group of people were blushing at what she said. They didn't know until now what those people had done. If they were Shen Xiangwan, they might not do better than her, and they might even be more angry than her. However, for the sake of their children, they had to continue lobbying. If the school was really closed, with their income, it would be impossible for them to send their children to school. Then they would have to live the same life as them, facing the earth and back to the sky, with no possibility of turning over.
"Mrs. Wei, I know you are very disappointed. Can you please give us another chance? I promise to teach those people a lesson and never let that happen again."
It was unknown how long it had been before Village Chief Yang looked up and met her eyes again. He had already decided that after returning, he would visit every village and use his status on behalf of the Wei family to give those restless people a warning. If the Wei family was also considered to be hypocritical and unkind, then all the rich families in Datong County were good people. They were extremely stupid if they couldn't even tell the difference.
"Yes, yes, Madam Wei, I will also go door to door to teach them a lesson. Please, for the sake of the children, give us another chance."
"Same for us."
One of the village chiefs immediately echoed, and the other village chiefs nodded hurriedly upon seeing this. Everyone looked at her eagerly. Now that they knew the crux of the problem, they would prescribe the right remedy and would never allow those ungrateful things to make the Wei family feel heartbroken and unworthy.
Led by Village Chief Yang, the village heads were trying their best to persuade Shen Xiangwan, hoping that she could give them another chance to reopen the school and let the children continue to study. However, Shen Xiangwan was slow to express her opinion and seemed completely unmoved. Everyone's expectant hearts sank straight down. When no one noticed, Village Chief Yang quietly pulled on Zhao Dashan's clothes. He had heard that he had a good relationship with the Wei family.
Looking at Yang Lichang and then at Shen Xiangwan, Zhao Dashan sighed helplessly in his heart: "Wanwan, I know that Chen's incident really chilled you. Fourth uncle's family is ready to divorce her, and they will never..."
"Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei...please come out...Mrs. Wei..."
Before Zhao Dashan finished speaking, Chen's sharp roar suddenly pierced everyone's eardrums. Everyone couldn't help but frown, including Yun Mengyi and Yue Ruyan who had been silent. Shen Xiangwan looked at Zhao Dashan with a half-smile and snapped her fingers, saying, "Bring her in. I want to see why she's making trouble at home again."
"Yes."
"I will go with you."
Yuanyue bowed and accepted the order. Zhao Dashan stood up quickly and left with her with a gloomy face. The other village heads looked at each other, all secretly annoyed. They were still here trying to convince Mrs. Wei with a shameless face, and the culprit came to make trouble again. How could Yong'an Village produce such a troublemaker?
The angriest person must be Village Head Yang. As the head of several nearby villages, he has always been diligent and hardworking, and he sincerely hopes that the villagers can live a good life. Now under the leadership of the Wei family, they grow high-yield crops, and every household can raise big fat pigs. Some people can even work in the Wei family's workshop and receive a monthly wage of one or two taels of silver. The Zhao family even set up their own workshop and made a lot of money. In addition, everyone's children can study in the school almost for free. If they can produce one or two scholars, or even the top scorer in the imperial examination in the future, then these villages will really have hope. Everything is obviously developing in a good direction, so how could it suddenly become like this?
Today, the Wei family closed the school because of disappointment, and tomorrow they may close other workshops. If even the papermaking and printing workshops are closed, then won’t those scholars curse them to death?
Therefore, this matter can be big or small. If they fail to handle it well, they will become sinners and be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
But who could tell him why that woman came again? What did the people in Zhao Si's family do for a living? They couldn't even keep an eye on a woman.
"what happened?"
Chen's screams were so sharp and shrill, as if they were killing someone. Wei Chengyi, who was handling government affairs in the study, also heard it. Yuan Xiu came down with him. Seeing that there were not only Shen Xiangwan, Yun Mengyi, and Yue Ruyan in the hall, both of them were calm. With their intelligence, they probably guessed their identities. "Is it disturbing you? Just take a break, it will be handled soon."
Looking up and smiling slightly, Shen Xiangwan picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and pushed them in front of them.
"Ah."
Wei Chengyi nodded vaguely, Yuan Xiu smiled gently, and both of them agreed with Shen Xiangwan's statement.
"Mrs. Wei...Mrs. Wei...I was wrong, please let me go, I really know I was wrong..."
At the same time, Yuan Yue and Zhao Dashan returned again, and with them were all the people of Zhao Si's family. The moment they saw Shen Xiangwan, Chen pulled her son into the main hall and knelt in front of her, begging for her forgiveness with tears and snot, but her words made people feel uncomfortable. What did she mean by begging her to let him go? When did Shen Xiangwan bite her to death? If some uninformed people heard this, they might think that Shen Xiangwan was really a bully who oppressed innocent people.
Her crying was no different from slandering Shen Xiangwan's reputation!
Not to mention Wei Chengyi and his companions, even the quick-thinking head Yang couldn't help but frown again. This woman, this woman didn't come to beg for mercy, she was clearly here to cause trouble.
"Goudan, Goudan, kneel down and beg Madam Wei with me."
Seeing that Shen Xiangwan didn't respond, Chen, who was crying and begging, pulled her son to kneel down again: "Madam Wei, all the mistakes are my fault. Please let me go for the sake of the child. He is only eight years old and can't be without a mother, Madam Wei..."
She did speak with deep feeling, but the brows of everyone present were getting furrowed more and more tightly. Even the village chiefs who reacted a little slower could hear the ambiguity in her words. Everyone was so angry that their chests heaved rapidly, and they wished they could rush over to cover her mouth.
"Goudan, come on, come with me and beg Madam Wei..."
"enough!"
Not noticing that her son had been frightened by her actions, Chen saw that she couldn't persuade Shen Xiangwan, so she tried to pull her son to talk to her. Zhao Dashan couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed forward, leaving Zhao Si's family behind: "It's your in-laws who want to divorce you. What does it have to do with Wanwan? From the beginning to the end, has she ever said a word to ask Fourth Uncle and his family to divorce you? What do you mean by begging her to let you go? When has she ever made things difficult for you?"
Zhao Dashan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. No matter whether she did it on purpose or not, her behavior was a naked slander. He didn't dare to guess how angry Wanwan would be. How could such a confused woman appear in their village?
