Chapter 177: Making Trouble at Uncle Ning's House
Aunt Ning Wu saw this and said hesitantly:
"My old man is busy right now. If you have anything to say, just tell me and I'll pass the message to him!"
Chen Guixiang was furious when she heard this:
"What? Uncle Ning has only been the accountant for one day, and he's already starting to act in a pretentious manner in front of me?"
Aunt Ning Wu knew that Chen Guixiang was not someone to be trifled with, so she waved her hands and explained:
"No, no, it's not what you think..."
Before Aunt Ning Wu could finish her words, Uncle Ning Wu came out of the house with a sullen face.
As soon as Chen Guixiang saw Uncle Ning, she quickly put on a smiling face.
"Hey, Uncle Wu, look at you. I came here specially to see you today, but your old woman is trying to stop me from seeing you. I'm not a man-eating ghost. Tell me what your old woman is afraid of."
Uncle Ning looked at Aunt Ning Wu and said in a deep voice:
"Old woman, go back to the house and cook. I'm hungry."
After hearing this, Aunt Ning Wu looked at Chen Guixiang with a worried look on her face, then walked into the kitchen, looking back every few steps.
When Chen Guixiang saw Aunt Ning Wu leave, she hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Uncle Ning Wu:
"I say, Fifth Uncle, you went to my shop today. I wonder how the business is going. As a mother, I am always worried about the eldest wife's family. I am afraid that they don't know anything and will lose money in business."
After hearing this, Uncle Ning looked at Chen Guixiang suspiciously and then said calmly:
"I think Yuwei is a good business person, so you don't have to worry about that."
Seeing this, Chen Guixiang said anxiously:
"Then business should be good today. How much money did you make?"
Uncle Ning coughed a few times and said:
"Ahem, business is just so-so, it's okay, I don't know how much money I made!"
Chen Guixiang was immediately annoyed when she heard this.
"What do you do for a living? We spent a lot of money to hire you. You've been in the shop all day, but you can't even tell whether the business is good or not, and you can't even calculate how much money you've earned. You're a shitty accountant. Hand over all the money we have. You're probably trying to embezzle our shop's money!"
As Chen Guixiang was about to tear off Uncle Ning Wu's clothes, Aunt Ning Wu heard the noise in the kitchen and hurried out to grab Chen Guixiang and said angrily:
"Chen Guixiang! What are you doing? Stop messing around!"
Seeing this, Chen Guixiang turned around and started to scratch Aunt Ning Wu's face. Aunt Ning Wu had no time to react and was left with five bloody marks by Chen Guixiang. She was in so much pain that she covered her face and squatted on the ground.
Seeing this, Uncle Ning Wu hurried forward to support Aunt Ning Wu and asked with concern:
"Old woman, are you okay? Didn't I tell you to go inside? Why are you coming out? I'm a man, she can hit me as many times as she wants. How can you stand her cruel hand?"
At this time, the neighbors heard the noise and came out to watch. Chen Guixiang saw this and sat on the ground and burst into tears.
"It's unjust and unlawful. You two have teamed up to bully an old woman like me. I really can't live like this anymore!"
"Chen Guixiang, please cry a little quieter!"
"Yeah, I see you're not hurt either?"
"You are not as badly injured as Aunt Ning Wu. Ouch, look at how you scratched her face!"
"Mrs. Chen, please stop making trouble and go home quickly!"
Seeing that no one was speaking for her, Chen Guixiang immediately got up from the ground and said in a crying voice:
"Oh, you don't know. Uncle Ning Wu is a black-hearted man. Our eldest brother hired him to look after the shop in the city, but he actually had evil intentions and wanted to embezzle our family's money. Our eldest brother is a loyal and honest man who would never complain when he was wronged. How can I, as his mother, not stand up for him!"
"Really? I don't think Uncle Ning Wu is that kind of person."
“Who knows whether it’s true or not?”
"If this is really what Granny Chen said, then Uncle Ning Wu is really not a decent person!"
Uncle Ning Wu saw Chen Guixiang destroying his reputation in front of everyone, so he hurriedly helped Aunt Ning Wu onto a stool, walked in front of everyone, waved his hand and explained:
"Everyone, don't listen to Chen Guixiang's nonsense. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I will never do such a thing! Yuwei's family has been very good to me, and I will not let them down, but Chen Guixiang!"
After saying this, Uncle Ning Wu turned to look at Chen Guixiang with an angry look on his face.
"What do you want to do by coming to my house to make such a scene? The money collected every day is recorded in the account book. Yu Wei will take the money on the day the shop closes. I will never embezzle a single penny from the shop! How dare you insult my reputation like this!"
While crying, Chen Guixiang secretly observed Uncle Ning Wu's expression with her sidelong glance. When she saw that the time was almost right, she pointed at Uncle Ning Wu and shouted:
"Don't threaten an old woman like me! I'm in your yard now. If anything happens to me, my son will not let your family off!"
Uncle Ning became even angrier after hearing this.
"It was you who broke into my yard and scratched my wife! Now you are the villain who is making the first move to complain!"
Chen Guixiang wiped her tears with her sleeve, stared at Uncle Ning Wu, pouted and said:
"If you really didn't do those dirty things, you should hand over the account book to me today. It won't be your turn to manage our accounts in the future. You don't even consider your own worth. You are just a poor coachman, but you have become an accountant! You are just relying on my family's reputation!"
Uncle Ning Wu was so angry at Chen Guixiang's words that his head hurt. He turned around and went into the house to get the account book. Aunt Ning Wu saw this and didn't care about the burning pain on her face. She stepped forward to stop Uncle Ning Wu and said anxiously:
"Old man, you can't harm Yu Wei's family. Don't you and I know what kind of person Chen Guixiang is? If you give the account book to Chen Guixiang in anger today, what will Yu Wei do?"
After hearing this, Uncle Ning showed a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing this, Chen Guixiang was busy fanning the flames behind him.
"Fellow villagers, you see, he is reluctant to hand over the account book and this lucrative job for our family! Oh, my eldest son is such a poor man, he was cheated by others and still has to pay them the wages!"
After hearing this, Uncle Ning Wu turned around and glared at Chen Guixiang, saying angrily:
"Wait for me, I'll get you the account book. If it wasn't for Yu Wei, why would I take on this job for your family?"
Uncle Ning Wu was about to enter the house when he was stopped by Aunt Ning Wu. Aunt Ning Wu stood up and yelled at Chen Guixiang:
"Chen Guixiang, have you had enough of making trouble? You must have forgotten that you and Yuwei's family had separated a long time ago. How dare you say that the shop belongs to your family? Yuwei spent a lot of effort to open that shop. Everyone in our village knows how much Yuwei has suffered!"
