95 Letâs Go
After knowing the situation, Zhou Yu was also quite angry.
âArenât you being shameless? The price was set before the house was built. How can it change just like that?â
Cao Liu sneered and pointed at Zhou Yuâs nose. âDonât think I donât know. I heard that your family has a jinx daughter!â
âMy brother has been beaten up and is still lying unconscious in the medical hall. He might have been jinxed by your family!â
!!
âWeâre risking our lives to build a house for your family now. You have to give us more money. If you donât give it to usâ¦â
As he spoke, he looked back at the workers and shouted, âWeâll go on strike and stop working for them.â
After Cao Liuâs incitement, many construction workers agreed.
âYes! Thatâs right, letâs strike if they do not pay us more!â
âThatâs right. Cao Liu is right. If we work for your family now, weâll be risking our lives. Who knows when weâll be unlucky and suffer? If you donât pay us extra, we wonât dare to work again.â
âThatâs right, thatâs right. There are old and young people in my family. If anything happens to me, what will happen to my entire family? No, no, even if itâs double the money, I wonât do this job anymore!â
âYeah, I quit too!â
â¦
The workers started arguing.
Naturally, there were also a few workers who could tell right from wrong and spoke up for the Zhou and Wei families.
However, their voices were quickly drowned out by the other voices.
Hearing those peopleâs discussions, Zhang Lan was very angry.
In the past, when the villagers said that her daughter was a jinx, she was sad but kept it all within. She was suppressed by Lai Jinniang then and did not dare to seek justice for her daughter.
Things are different now. Zhang Lanâs heart had changed a long time ago.
She firmly believed Zhou Xiaoliâs words that âthe more others will bully you if you donât resist.â
Seeing that this group of people was putting all the blame on her daughter, she lost it immediately.
She picked up a stick and rushed over, shouting as she went. âIf you dare to say another word about my girl being a jinx, just try it!â
âIâll fight you to the death!â
âAhââ
As she shouted, she waved the stick as a bat at the group of people.
That attitude stunned Zhou Yu and Zhou Xiaoli.
In the next second, Zhou Yu immediately followed them. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick muscles, and shouted in a rough voice, âIf you dare to talk bad about my girl, Iâll fight you to death!â
Zhou Yu was already very strong, and with the nourishment of the spring water from the alternate space, his strength became greater.
He could knock out one person with just one punch. Even if they ganged up on him, it was as if he was picking up and throwing away chicks instead.
Zhang Lan was right next to Zhou Yu. When she saw someone coming over, she closed her eyes and waved her bat wildly.
The couple was going crazy!
The surrounding villagers were dumbfounded and could only exclaim, âThe Zhou couple is crazy!â
This shocking scene quickly spread throughout the village. Almost everyone knew that the Zhou couple would fight to their death for their daughter.
After that, no one in the village dared to say that Miss Zhou was a jinx.
As expected, the more cowardly one was, the more one would be bullied.
Naturally, this is what happened in the future.
Seeing that her parents had already taken action, Zhou Xiaoli was unwilling to fall behind. She also picked up her weapon and went up to fight!
Cao Liu, who had been punched a few times by Zhou Yu, was also furious. A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He took a brick and launched a sneak attack at Zhou Xiaoli.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoliâs back was towards him, and she did not see the danger approaching.
The brick was about to hit the back of Zhou Xiaoliâs head.
At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly appeared and grabbed Cao Liuâs arm in time.
Immediately, there was a scream, and the brick in Cao Liuâs hand fell to the ground.
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Xiaoli quickly turned around and saw Wei Chiyu grabbing Cao Liuâs wrist. His face was expressionless, but it made people shudder.
Cao Liu shouted in pain, âIt hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Spare me, please spare me, please spare me.â
Wei Chiyu remained expressionless. His strength did not decrease. Instead, he exerted more force and lifted his leg to kick the person away.
He turned to look at Zhou Xiaoli and asked with concern, âAre you hurt?â
Zhou Xiaoli immediately shook her head and said with a smile, âIâm fine, Iâm fine. Thank you, Junior Brother.â
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyu and Liu Fengfeng ran over from behind with the wolf cub, panting heavily.
âBig brother, you run so fast. We canât catch up to you.â
Then, Zhou Xiaoyu saw Cao Liu and immediately roared fiercely in her cute voice, âAh, baddie, itâs this big baddie. He bullied Mother. Big Brother, hit him!â
Zhou Xiaoli could not help but laugh. âHey, didnât your big brother already knock him out cold?â
Zhou Xiaoyu clapped his hands and jumped up and down. âBig brother is so awesome.â
Then, she saw Zhou Xiaoli looking at her with raised eyebrows. She immediately hugged Zhou Xiaoliâs leg and said coquettishly, âSis is the best.â
Zhou Xiaoli was amused by this little one.
She looked at Wei Chiyu and asked, âWhy did you come down the mountain? Didnât the Master want to teach you this afternoon?â
...
Zhou Xiaoyu immediately said, âLiu Fengfeng and I went to look for Big Brother.â
It turned out that after Cao Liu and the others came to look for her, Zhang Lan asked Zhou Xiaoyu and Liu Fengfeng to go to the mountain to call Wei Chiyu.
âNo wonder Wei Chiyu could appear so promptly.â
That was what Zhou Xiaoli thought.
The scene was controlled after Wei Chiyu arrived.
The workers who had been beaten by Zhou Yu hid far away and did not dare to go forward.
On the other side, Cao Liu got up from the ground and cursed with a grimace, âYou guys are simply too much! Donât even think about building another brick in this house. Even if you increase the salary, we wonât do it anymore!â
As Cao Liu spoke, he urged the construction workers to follow him.
Immediately, many people responded.
âPfft! Thatâs right, we quit!â
âLetâs go, letâs all go. I want to see how they build their house without us!â
...
âHmph, the weather is about to turn cold. Without us, where would you find workers to build houses in the short term?â
âThatâs right. You can stay in an unfinished house! When the time comes, you can beg us and raise the salary for all you want but we wonât do it!â
â¦
The more those people spoke, the more they felt that they were in the right and as if they had gained the upper hand.
Cao Liu was extremely proud seeing the effect of his words on the workers. He looked at Zhou Xiaoli and the others with a shameless expression.
The current situation was indeed disadvantageous to Zhou Xiaoliâs family.
If they change the workers, they may not be able to find other workers to complete the construction in a short period of time. It was already late autumn, and it would be chilly soon.
When it started to freeze, they would not be able to complete the construction of the house.
This group of people dared to be this shameless because they knew that Zhou Xiaoliâs family was in a hurry to move into the new house.
However, Zhou Xiaoli would not indulge them. Moreover, with their character as such, Zhou Xiaoli was worried about handing over the construction of the house to them.
Therefore, after they said that they are quitting, she said coldly, âAlright, since you donât want to build houses for our two families, leave.â
