When Beibei thought of the old lady, he subconsciously felt disgusted and didn't want to look at her at all: "Fang Xiaoxi, the wild grapes on your back are left to you. We can take the ones we picked back and leave from here directly."
Mu Yeyin had already called the driver over, so he didn't go to Fang Xiaoxi's house, but left directly from here. Fortunately, there were a lot of people around Fang Xiaoxi's house, so the old lady didn't see it.
Fang Xiaoxi successfully sent Beibei and the others out of the village before heading back to her home. As expected, as soon as she reached the door, someone made way for her: "Xiaoxi, you're back. Go check quickly. Your grandma stole things from your house."
Grandma went to her house to steal something? What was there in her house that was worth her grandmother's attention? It was a bit of a headache just thinking about it! After all, every time her grandmother was interested in something, there was nothing she couldn't take away.
In the past, our family was poor and grandma rarely visited us. It’s not like now, when she comes to make trouble every few days. It’s really annoying.
Walking into the yard, Fang Xiaoxi was even more speechless, because her grandmother and Fang Shanshan were holding her clothes in their hands.
Fang Xiaoxi heard her grandmother babble and curse as soon as she entered the room: "Fang Xiaoxi, that money-loser, why is she wearing such nice clothes? She's going to sell them anyway, what a waste. I'll take these clothes and give them to Shanshan, get out of my way."
"If you don't want to give it to me, then use the money to make something new for Shanshan that's better than these."
Fang Xiaoxi's clothes are all designed by herself and then made by her mother. They are not sold anywhere else. If you want to buy better ones than hers, you have to go to the provincial capital.
Going to the provincial capital to buy clothes costs a lot of money, and the eldest wife of the Fang family can't afford it. Of course, although their family has money, it would take them all to make such a trip, and naturally they wouldn't do it for Fang Shanshan.
Fang Xiaoxi's mother was standing aside, she didn't say anything, she just stood there and didn't move away, she just wouldn't let the old lady take it away.
Fang Dashan was very helpless. There was no explanation for what happened last night, and now his mother started again: "Mom, put these clothes down. I won't let you take them away. Fang Shanshan is not my daughter, why do you want me to help buy them? Don't say I don't have money. Even if I did, it wouldn't make sense."
Fang Xiaoxi walked into the door, looked at the scene in front of her, and took a deep breath: "Okay, don't go too far. Put my things back, and I won't hold it against you. Otherwise, Dad, let's report it to the police. There have been a lot of things going on at home recently, and a thief broke in without paying attention."
When the old lady heard this, she almost exploded: "What did you say? Report to the police? I am your grandmother. What a thief, what an unfilial thing! You actually want to report to the police to arrest me."
Fang Xiaoxi rubbed her brows as she was about to start making trouble on the floor. She had lost all patience with these people: "Then let everyone judge for themselves whether grandma's care for our family is too excessive."
Everyone in the village knew exactly what happened to Fang Xiaoxi's family. The old lady had gone too far, but reporting the matter to the police was still a bit inhumane.
"As long as grandma doesn't go too far, I won't choose to report it to the police. I'm serious. If you don't put my things down, I will really report it to the police. The crime of burglary is punishable by imprisonment and beheading."
The old lady was shocked: "You want to scare an old woman like me, right? You want someone to chop off your grandmother's head just because I robbed a few of your clothes. You are really cruel."
Fang Dashan watched his daughter quarreling with his parents and took a deep breath. "That's enough, Mom. If you don't let it go, go to the police. This is my idea. Don't blame my daughter. It's me who is unfilial. You scold me for being unfilial every day. I am embarrassed to continue to be filial."
The last sentence made Fang Xiaoxi almost laugh out loud. How could she not know that her father had a sense of humor.
The old lady was stunned. Is this what Fang Dashan said? Are you kidding? She looked at Fang Dashan seriously and asked, "You, are you telling the truth?"
Fang Dashan nodded very solemnly: "Mom, what my son said this time is true."
He can be filial, but he cannot be blindly filial. As a father and a husband, he cannot let his wife and children suffer because of him.
The old lady had never seen her son look like this before, and she was a little scared. When other people saw this scene, they thought Fang Dashan did a good job, and some people just can't be spoiled.
For a moment, someone clapped for Fang Dashan: "Brother Dashan, you did a good job. Even if you sue me in the government office, I will go and testify for you."
The villagers also clapped their hands: "That's right, we all support you."
The old lady saw that she had angered everyone, so she calmed down. She snorted and threw the clothes into Fang Xiaoxi's arms: "It's just a few tattered clothes. Who can't afford them?"
Fang Xiaoxi was speechless. You can afford it, but you come to rob it. Fang Shanshan, who was standing by, saw this and knew that she couldn't take the clothes away. She was so angry that she rushed over and tore several clothes to pieces.
"You are not worthy of wearing it even though I let you wear it."
The villagers were all very surprised. Fang Shanshan was not like this usually. She was so bad. It seemed that they had to keep a close eye on the girls in their family and not play with girls like this.
The old lady pulled Fang Shanshan away. Looking at the shredded clothes on the ground, Fang Xiaoxi frowned, "Fang Shanshan, you asked for this. You have to compensate me. I don't want more for these clothes. One tael of silver for each piece. You tore six pieces, so just give me six taels of silver."
Before Fang Shanshan could say anything, she heard the old lady say, "Six taels of silver, you are blackmailing me, why don't you just rob me?"
Fang Xiaoxi blinked her eyes and said, "Rob? You misunderstood. This is a friendly price. These fabrics were given by the county magistrate's wife. The fabrics alone are worth that price, not to mention the workmanship. The workmanship of a piece of clothing is five taels of silver per piece."
Some of these fabrics were sent by Nan Nan, and some were sent at a price of 1,999 yuan. They were said to be only one or two taels, which really was as good as free.
Fang Shanshan blushed with envy. She said that Fang Xiaoxi's family was so poor, how could she afford such nice clothes? "You, you are shameless. How can you accept things from Master Nannan?"
Fang Xiaoxi snorted coldly: "I am happy to do so. If he can give it to me, of course I can accept it. What does it have to do with you? All you have to do now is to accompany me, or I will go to the county government to sue you. If I go to the county government, I guess it will not be just one or two taels of silver for each item."
Fang Shanshan was so angry that she almost lost her mind. She snorted, "I won't pay. If you want to sue me, go ahead. I'm not afraid."
Fang Shanshan turned around and left, and the old lady quickly followed. Fang Dashan looked at Fang Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi, how about we forget it?"
Fang Xiaoxi looked at her father and said, "Dad, this is impossible. I won't give in this time. This set of clothes was specially brought back for me by my master when he came back. I didn't protect it well, and I couldn't bear to wear it, so she damaged it."
She couldn't swallow this tone no matter what. Fang Dashan wanted to say something, but Fang's mother came over and said, "Dad, stop talking. Xiaoxi is right. When Madam Mu sent this dress over, she said that Xiaoxi should wear it, but now it's gone."
"Mrs. Mu won't know the reason, so she will probably blame Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi can file a complaint with the county government, which will be a good opportunity to explain to Mrs. Mu. Of course, we can't go directly to the county government. We should first go to the village chief to mediate and see if she will pay compensation."
Fang Dashan had no choice but to go to the village chief first. The village chief had heard about what was happening here and was also a little troubled. So he went to find Fang Dalang.
The secret guards told Beibei and the others about what happened in Fangjia Village. After listening, Beibei stuffed a grape into his mouth and said, "Fang Xiaoxi didn't ask for help. I can handle it myself. By the way, what is brother busy with?"
After Nan Nan and Tong Ruyu came back, they found Qian Jiujiu and got the blueprints, and then started to work. Bei Bei also found out after asking, and couldn't help grumbling.
"It's really too much to exclude me from this kind of thing. Forget it, forget about them. Since my brother wants to do business, shouldn't I also find something to do?"
What to do? Beibei thought about it and remembered that the clothes in Xianyou Town didn't look very good, so he could open a ready-made clothing store.
Do it as soon as you think of it: "Let's go to the dental clinic and buy a shop."
Qingyue was somewhat helpless. Her master wanted whatever he wanted and acted like a madman. No one knew how many properties he had acquired.
"Master, do you want to continue selling spicy hot pot?"
It is not impossible to bring the Malatang business here. After all, that was what Beibei did before, and now the shop is still in Fucheng, and it has become quite large.
Beibei shook his head and refused: "No, I want to do another business, spicy hot pot or something like that. My brother runs a restaurant, so he can do it."
The autumn harvest and busy farming season in the village did not affect life in Xianyou Town at all. Everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, but there were more people and it looked more lively.
The dental shop was very lively with people coming and going. As soon as Beibei walked to the door, someone came out to greet her: "Meet Miss Mu. What are you here to buy today?"
As the eldest daughter of the county magistrate, Beibei was known by many people. It was no surprise that the people in the dental industry knew her. "I want to find a shop. Is there any for sale? It doesn't have to be too big, just one that faces the street."
She was planning to do high-end business, not to steal the road from others, but to do custom clothing. The people in the dental shop thought about it and found that there was indeed a shop.
"There is a shop that meets the conditions that Miss Mu mentioned. I wonder if you are satisfied with it. Let's go over and take a look first."
This shop is on the same street as the Herbal Medicine Pavilion, with only three shops between them, so it is very close. Beibei is satisfied with the geographical location alone.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look. Also, why do you want to sell this shop? Generally speaking, aren't shops on the street doing pretty good business?"
