Chapter 59: An Unfathomable Person

“You can choose not to say anything if you don’t know how to speak. If you’re not careful, the entire Xu family’s reputation will be ruined by you. At that time, the women in the Xu family won’t be able to get married, the men won’t be able to get a wife, and Fifth Uncle won’t be able to become an official. That’ll be all your fault,” Xu Qing said in a low voice.

“You…” Chen Qiulian wished she could tear apart Xu Qing’s mouth!

“Shut up.” Old Master Xu hurriedly shouted. They were here today to see if they could get the money, not to spout nonsense!

“Mother, this little slut borrowed money to build a house. I heard that the interest rate for borrowing money in town is high. We have to stay away from her. If she gets close to us and can’t repay it, the debt collectors will find us,” Zhao Bing muttered in Chen Qiulian’s ear.

Chen Qiulian felt that it made sense, but she was still indignant about the money Xu Qing had given the workers.

“Wretched girl, since you want to build a house, recruit your uncle, second uncle, and brothers. Why recruit anyone else?” Chen Qiulian said, but she started to calculate the money. A few hundred yuan per person was more than a thousand yuan!

“Alright, since you’re so enthusiastic, come tomorrow. We’re a family, so you guys won’t be paid. Don’t worry, I’ll provide food.” Xu Qing immediately agreed with a smile.

“Damn girl, you’re not paying?” Chen Qiulian roared angrily.

Xu Qing looked puzzled. “Didn’t you say that we’re a family? Do you still need to be paid? Moreover, our family didn’t even get an acre of land. We borrowed money to build a house. Since we’re all a family, you won’t really force us to death, right?”

The moment that was said, everyone started to discuss. This grandmother was trying to cheat her granddaughter. How could a family ask for money for helping…

Xu Jiangzhong, who was at the back of the crowd, felt his face burn. He felt embarrassed and regretted following them. He originally thought that he would be able to get some money. After all, he had to spend a lot of money to go to school in town.

“Xu Qing, you were the one who suggested giving up the land and leaving. Now, you’re holding a grudge because of this matter? Moreover, even brothers have to settle accounts. Our family will work for you, but you won’t give us money? How are we going to live in the future?” Xu Yunqiao looked at Xu Qing’s clothes. They were on a completely different level from her own. She was overcome with jealousy.

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows. Xu Yunqiao was quite smart, but she, Xu Qing, wasn’t a pushover. She instantly lowered her head and looked dejected. “Do you need me to tell you what happened back then?”

The surrounding people discussed spiritedly. They knew why Xu Jiangxi had left. It was completely because Xu Jiangxi’s family didn’t give him money to save his life. That was why Xu Qing said that she would take the money to save his life as family compensation.

Hearing the increasingly bad comments about the Xu family, Xu Jiangzhong hurriedly stood up and said, “It hasn’t been easy for Third Brother’s family. Our family is already short of money, and I don’t have much. This is the money I was prepared to buy books with. This is for Third Brother’s family. Buy some food. When I’m capable in the future, I’ll definitely let Third Brother’s family live a good life.” Xu Jiangzhong took out a few hundred yuan from his pocket. He had originally planned to treat his classmates to a meal, but now, for the sake of his reputation, he had no choice but to take it out.

Xu Jiangzhong’s generosity made everyone praise him for being kind. When he really became rich in the future, he definitely wouldn’t forget about the villagers!

Xu Qing’s eyes flickered. Xu Jiangzhong was quite cunning.

However, no matter how shrewd he was, he couldn’t stop someone from dragging him down. Chen Qiulian instantly jumped up. “Fifth Brother, why did you give the money to that cripple?! Hurry up and put it away. There are many things you need money for.”

The veins on Xu Jiangzhong’s forehead bulged. He endured his anger and said to Chen Qiulian, “Mother, Third Brother’s family has suffered. We’re all family. If we can help, we’ll do our best.” Moreover, they might not accept the money. Why was she so anxious?!

Chen Qiulian wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Old Master Xu. Although he wasn’t very cultured, he still understood the basic ways of the world. If his son wanted to prosper in the future, his reputation was very important!

Xu Qing chuckled. “Fifth Uncle, you should take the money back. This is the money you will spend on textbooks. If you don’t get good grades in the future, our family won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”

“Little slut, what nonsense are you talking about?!” Chen Qiulian roared. Xu Qing actually cursed her son!

Xu Jiangzhong’s face stiffened and he clenched his fists.

Xu Qing didn’t care what Xu Jiangzhong wanted to say. She turned around and asked Xu Sizhi to continue recruiting people and ignored the Xu family.

“Little Qing, who is this young man? He’s so attentive.” A villager asked curiously.
