Chapter 901: Face (1)
"No! That's our roots! We can't sell it! Even if we have to close the shop, we can't sell it!" the woman said angrily. "Zhao Yang, I can endure the hardships with you, but the embroidery shop is also the result of my hard work over the years!"
"Xiaohua..." Zhao Yang was so moved that he thought of his neglect and indifference to his wife over the years and wanted to slap himself twice. "I'll make it up to you later!"
"Come on! We are all family, and this period of time has been enough for you to see the true colors of those people. You should know who you can be close to and who you should stay away from!" The woman looked at Zhao Yang, "How have you treated those people over the years? They know best in their hearts. I won't stop you from doing good deeds, but I just feel it's not worth it for you."
"Your kindness has not been rewarded. These people are not grateful at all and they keep pretending to be poor just to ask you for money." The woman was full of resentment and she got angry when she talked about these terrible neighbors.
"I didn't expect that they would have such expressions!" Zhao Yang's face turned cold. He only went to the houses closest to him and he hadn't been to the ones farther away.
But just these few families were enough to make him feel uncomfortable.
Because these households are his key support targets, it's ridiculous that he is still complacent and feels that he has done a great thing.
He never thought that others treated him like a fool and drained all his family assets time and time again to support his own family. Thinking about it now, Zhao Yang really felt that there were two big words engraved on his head.
Fool.
"What should I do with my cousin? I can't afford to pay his monthly salary during this period." Zhao Yang thought of his own embroidery shop, which was cheated of dozens of taels of silver by Niu Xiaocao and her friends. His shop is actually out of money now. If they cannot deliver the goods for the orders they received, they will have to compensate the customers, which is another big expense.
What's more, the people hired in the store are all his cousins and relatives, and he has been supporting them over the years.
"I asked them when I came back yesterday, and they have all left. I have already paid them their wages." The woman said indifferently. She was not surprised at all. These cousins of Zhao Yang have always been following him. Not only are their wages much higher than those of the odd jobs outside, but they are also not efficient in their work.
I had to beg them several times like a big boss before they were willing to move, saying they were there to help. It was almost like asking them to be the big boss in the store.
He not only fails to do his job well, but also demands meat with every meal, otherwise he can't eat it, and if he doesn't eat, he won't have the energy to work.
She wanted to laugh and tried to ask them to leave several times, but it was easier said than done. They ran to Zhao Yang and cried and made a fuss, saying that they were too poor to live, but Zhao Yang not only refused to leave them, but also asked them to pay compensation.
She didn't want to care about it anymore after making a fuss a few times, so she just let him be! She held her breath, waiting to see what these people would look like after Zhao Yang fell into disgrace.
Now she saw it as she wished, and everyone wanted to stay away from them, avoiding them and even throwing salt at them because they thought they were unlucky.
Zhao Yang was shocked, but she was not.
She had long recognized the true colors of these people, and only Zhao Yang was willing to flatter them and be treated as a fool by them.
"..." Zhao Yang looked at his wife. Although he was no longer surprised, he did not expect that even his relatives could be so cold and heartless.
"You should have a good rest!" The woman glanced at Zhao Yang and was about to wash the dishes, but Zhao Yang changed his previous carefree attitude and followed the woman into the kitchen to help her wash the dishes.
