The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 181 Wash it clean

When the ship just started, all the people in Tian Yuan's group came out to watch the excitement on the deck. They didn't leave until they reached Yunluo Wharf which was out of sight. They stood by the fence and chatted with great interest.

"Sister, I just saw a fishing net at the dock. A fishing boat came back and the net was full of fish."

"Really? Congratulations. When we get to Guangyuan, I'll buy you fish every day. You can have it braised, spicy, or stewed in fish soup."

Miaomiao happily turned around towards her sister and said, "I want them all, sis. Let's eat together."

The grandfather and others around looked at the two sisters and smiled.

"Tsk, you bumpkin. There's nothing special about a fishing net."

Su He, who was spinning around holding her sister's hand, faded her smile and looked behind her. She saw a girl in yellow looking at her with disdain. The middle-aged woman behind her seemed to want to say something but stopped herself and finally said nothing.

"Miaomiao, do you feel like vomiting? If you get seasick, remember to tell your sister."

Miaomiao was a little angry at first, but when she saw that her sister ignored the two people, she pretended not to hear anything.

"No, I feel fine."

"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

When these words were spoken, grandpa and others became unhappy. Wen Niang handed the small stone to Wang Sheng and started scolding him.

"Who do you think you are? You come here to fart! I see you are a little girl, so I won't bother with you. If you keep talking dirty, I will slap you in the face!"

The woman in yellow had not expected that these country people would dare to speak to her like that. She became so angry that her face turned red and her voice became shrill.

"How dare you, a bunch of peasants, talk to me like that? You beggars, you took the money from my father and you just ran to the first floor."

The woman in yellow proudly took out a piece of silver from her purse and threw it towards Su He, "Get off this boat right now."

Su He stopped the family members who wanted to step forward and picked up the silver himself.

"This lady also has mud on her feet. Since you look down on muddy feet, you might as well throw away these shoes and get the beautiful name of White Lady."

Su He put the silver into his purse, then walked to the woman in yellow with a smile on his face, grabbed her collar and dragged her out, as if he was going to throw her into the river.

"Your father wanted to exchange rooms with us, so he should have given us more than a thousand taels. You are so smart. You want us to leave with just three taels of silver. It's like an elephant sticking a green onion in its trunk to pretend to be garlic. Since you don't like mud, then go wash yourself in the river and leave with a clean conscience."

Su He dragged the person to the edge of the fence, and as he lifted her up, the upper body of the woman in yellow was outside the fence.

"Ah! Auntie, help me, Dad, sister."

The woman in yellow was scared to death, and soon Su He smelled the smell of urine. She was disgusted and was considering whether to let go when the middle-aged woman who followed her finally reacted and rushed over howling.

"Let go of my Lian'er, you peasants are so bold."

Wen Niang took a quick step forward, grabbed the woman's hair and pulled it down. The woman screamed and tried to fight back. Yanzhi and Juhua rushed over to help. It was three against one, and the outcome was no doubt about the outcome.

The conflict on the deck finally attracted the attention of the people on the third floor.

Manager Wang, who had made a deal with Su He, showed up again.

The middle-aged woman lying on the ground with her face covered in blood saw the steward as if she had seen a savior.

"Manager Wang, please come and save us! These peasants are going to rebel."

Manager Wang ignored him, pretending not to see the person on the ground, and walked towards Su He with a smile on his face.

"Miss Su, do you think there is some misunderstanding? Why don't we release him first and discuss it later?"

Su He pulled the man back quickly. Xu Lian'er lay on the deck with snot and tears streaming down her face. At this moment, she felt like she had been reborn. Wen Niang and the other two beside her also withdrew their hands and retreated.

The middle-aged woman was quite loyal. She got up and went to help Xu Lian'er.

"This lady said that we peasants have never seen the world. That's nothing, but she asked us to disappear right away. We peasants have little experience and don't know how to disappear on this ship. Here, this is the severance pay she gave us. Steward Wang, return the property to its original owner."

Steward Wang took the silver with both hands and apologized with a smile on his face, "Please forgive me, Miss Su. Miss Lian'er is young and ignorant, and her words offended you all. I apologize to everyone on behalf of the master and his wife."

Seeing how polite he was, Su He thought to herself, forget it, she had vented her anger anyway.

"In that case, then..."

"You bastards! How dare you do this to our young lady? Do you know who my master is?"

"Girl Jin, please step back."

Manager Wang thought to himself that this woman had gone mad today.

Su He crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows. Wen Niang and the others came over with angry faces, "I really don't know. Why don't you tell us and let us see for ourselves."

That old lady Jin was also stupid. She answered without hesitation, "Our master is a relative of the Chen family in Guangyuan. The Chen family is the most prestigious family in Guangyuan. You..."

"shut up!"

Everyone only heard a loud shout from above, and a middle-aged man in black satin came down. Looking at the gold rings on his hands, it was obvious that this man was rich.

"Don't retreat, you idiot."

When Mrs. Jin saw that it was her own master, she immediately lowered her head and dared not speak. Manager Wang walked over respectfully and whispered a few words to her.

"Dad, they beat me."

"Miss Lian'er, we are defending ourselves. We are ordinary people. Normal people will not stand and let others hit us. Even if your family background is strong, you can't do whatever you want."

Xu Wansheng looked at Su He's sharp eyes, but he was not angry.

"My name is Xu Wansheng. Miss Su is right. We are all in the same boat. It is fate. My eldest daughter, Yu Niang, married the fifth son of the third branch of the Chen family as the principal wife. When my grandson was born, we went to congratulate him. Haha, are you all going to Guangyuan to visit relatives as well?"

Xu Wansheng greeted with a smile, but the words that came out of his mouth always made people feel awkward.

"We moved back to our ancestral home in Guangyuan. What a coincidence! We are also relatives of Mr. Chen, but we are the fourth generation of the Chen family's main branch, Mr. Chen Shi, the Xiuyi official. We peasants dare not spread the news and cause trouble for Mr. Chen. Today, when we heard Mr. Xu mention the Chen family, He Hua finally mentioned it."

A wealthy and respectable family would marry the daughter of a merchant like this, either because the man is too old or he is someone's second wife, or maybe both. There is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, they are the one in the right. You have connections and so do I. Even if the case is brought to the county government, she is still in the right.

Xu Wansheng's smile froze. When he heard Su He mention Xiuyi Li, he became even more annoyed that his youngest daughter had offended someone. You know, the eldest branch of the Chen family has always been the one that the other branches try to please. Before he married his daughter off, he had already found out that the fourth generation legitimate son of the eldest branch was indeed named Chen Shi.

"Who are you trying to fool? How could you possibly be the relatives of Lord Chen?"

Xu Lian'er didn't believe it at all. She had a hunch that these people were just taking advantage of the power of others and that the Chen family just followed suit after hearing what they said.

"Since you don't believe me, let's go to court. This ship is heading to Guangyuan. Once we get off the ship, we'll ask the county magistrate to judge the case. Let's see who is right and who is wrong."
