I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

Chapter 153: A Group of Little Brats (Updated in Chapter)

As the weather gradually turns colder, the soap workshop has entered a stable stage. Zhao Qiqi doesn't need to worry much about it, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Zhao Qiqi was thinking, winter is coming, what can he do?

It’s so cold now that crops like peppers can’t be grown. What kind of business can we start?

Milk tea!

This idea suddenly came to Zhao Qiqi's mind. She loved drinking milk tea very much in modern times, and Zhao Qiqi believed that there must be a market for milk tea here.

As one of the best-selling drinks in modern times, it is loved by most people. Even if you don’t have a particular favorite, you won’t find it particularly unpalatable. Purchasing sugar through the system can greatly reduce costs and improve competitiveness.

But if you really want to do it, you must sell it in the county, where there are more people and stronger purchasing power.

She also needed to buy cows to disguise the milk she was buying from the system.

The main thing is that the milk that we squeeze ourselves needs to be sterilized. No one has any experience in breeding, so the risk is probably high and it is easy to get brucellosis.

Modern non-dairy creamer is much more convenient and can replace milk. It is also said to be an exclusive secret recipe and no one will copy it. But she really doesn't want to do that. She herself doesn't want to drink milk tea made with non-dairy creamer, and her children will definitely drink it too.

How can one get the milk out without arousing suspicion?

Just as she was thinking about something, a figure bumped into her heavily.

Zhao Qiqi felt a pain in his abdomen and was unable to stand for a moment and was knocked to the ground.

The collision made her see stars and feel dizzy.

"You damn old woman! You hit my sister, pay me!"

Zhao Qiqi felt puzzled when she saw a group of children surrounding her. These children did not bump into her accidentally. She could feel that the little girl bumped into her on purpose.

The force was so strong that it was not something a little girl could exert.

There were several children who looked familiar to her, but she couldn't recognize them. She was mostly busy with business, and the adults in the village might not have remembered their words one by one, let alone these children who all looked the same, dark and skinny.

Moreover, most children were sent to school, except for some who were too poor or did not want their children to go to school and wanted them to stay at home to help.

"She won't pay any money. My mother said she's a murderer! The county soldiers came to arrest her a few days ago."

Some younger children were so frightened when they heard these words that they started to cry. When one child cried, more children started to cry.

Various cries mixed together, chaotic and loud enough to resound through the sky.

The boy who asked Zhao Qiqi to pay the money at the beginning looked annoyed: "Don't cry, don't cry, she is alone, there are so many of us, what are you afraid of? She has no weapon in her hand, we can just hit her with things, so that she can't beat us."

The boy's eyes were full of eagerness to try. He grabbed the mud on the ground and was about to smash it down.

But soon, he was caught by a small hand. It was Fatty, Gu Yanyi.

The younger son had grown plump and white these days. Although he looked about the same height as the boy in front of him, he was actually much stronger. He grabbed the boy's hand and turned it over to him.

The rotation was so large that the boy couldn't bear the pain and wanted to cry. Gu Yanyi didn't think of letting him go.

Of course, more importantly, his mother did not interrupt him from doing this, so what he did must be right!

Thinking of this, he became more excited. He kicked the boy on the butt and then let go. The boy's face sank into the place where he had just grabbed a handful of dirt.

He kicked a little hard, but it didn't hurt the butt, so he was quite measured.

Gu Yanyi was about to do something, but Zhao Qiqi stopped him with a look.

"Gu Shitou, although you are still young, you bullied my mother first. My mother is an adult and will not bother with a child like you. But I am a son, just as young as you. If you are not satisfied, you can go back and complain. Then the matter will become a matter between adults. My mother can also take revenge on your parents for the bad things you did to my mother."

Gu Shitou became angry all of a sudden. He stood up and some children who had been crying immediately stopped crying and burst into laughter.

He became even more angry, wiping the dirt off his face. "You've already hit me, do you want your mother to hit my mother? Besides, what have we done wrong? Wasn't it her who hit my sister? Wasn't it her who the soldiers came to arrest a few days ago?"

Gu Yanyi's face turned red with anger. "First of all, my mother did nothing wrong. Secondly, the county magistrate has proven my mother's innocence. If my mother was really guilty, she would have been arrested long ago. If you don't believe it, you can call your parents and the whole village to judge. Also, if a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. You guys are spreading rumors here because your parents didn't teach you well!"

Some of them were scared and some were smart, so they just ran away.

Looking at the originally large group of children, only a few of them were left running, Gu Shitou felt a little panicked. He was the one who started the trouble, and now he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

Unexpectedly, someone came running over in a hurry. When Gu Shitou saw the person coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately put his hands on his waist and said confidently: "Your mother is such a grown-up, and she hit my sister. Now she must be injured, pay for it!"

Most of the children who were playing with Gu Shitou saw that something was wrong and ran to call for help.

"What are you doing!"

When the man heard what his son said, he became furious.

Zhao Qiqi was delighted when she saw this. They were acquaintances. Since the other party was rude, she naturally would not be polite either: "The father stole things, and the son blackmailed. Well, it's true. If they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same door."

She motioned for Gu Yanyi to stand behind her. After all, the person opposite her was an adult, with whom she had a previous relationship, and a person whose character could not be guaranteed. Zhao Qiqi did not dare to use Gu Yanyi to bet that Gu Dewang would not take action.

Gu Dewang, the person who stole the soap before, was fined by the head of the village and sent to the ancestral hall to kneel for three days.

She did not think these punishments were too harsh. If she did not want to embarrass the head of the village, she would have sent the man to the yamen and had him beaten with a stick so that he would learn his lesson.

"Zhao Qiqi!"

Gu Dewang gnashed his teeth in hatred. He would never forget this woman! She just took a few bars of soap. Her family didn't need them. But she made him spend a lot of money and kneel in the ancestral hall. He would never forget this humiliation!

"You're so good. You bullied our family before, and now you must be deliberately targeting my son and daughter. You even injured her. Either come with me to see the head of the village, or pay for the medicine." His eyes were a little vague when he said the last sentence.

He could also see that his daughter Gu Yezi looked fine, standing straight without any sign of pain.

"Compensation? Then tell me, how much money is appropriate?"

"Two taels... not ten taels, at least ten taels. It takes so much time and energy to go back and forth to the town. I can't even work. My son and daughter are frightened. I need to buy some chickens and ducks to make up for them."

Gu Dewang became more and more excited as he spoke. Gu Shitou couldn't stop laughing as he listened to his father talking, and he almost drooled.

"Sure enough, like father, like son."

When he saw the smile in Zhao Qiqi's eyes, Gu Dewang immediately realized that she had no intention of giving him money at all, but was deliberately making him look bad.

"Okay, that's great. Since you don't want to pay, let's go find the head of the village!"

Zhao Qiqi's smile faded. Gu Dewang thought that Zhao Qiqi was scared, so he said that the head of the village was fair and would not help her just because she had money. As long as the matter was brought to the head of the village, Zhao Qiqi would have to give the money even if she didn't want to!

"Then you should be prepared to pay compensation. It was your daughter who bumped into me first."

Gu Dewang didn't believe it at all. He turned to his own daughter, Gu Ye Zi, and asked loudly, "Ye Zi, do you think this woman hit you? Just say it boldly. Don't worry, don't be afraid. Dad will help you get justice."

Gu Ye Zi was frightened by Gu Dewang's loud shout. She looked at her brother Gu Shitou and burst into tears in fear.

"You!" Gu Dewang seemed to be very disappointed with her. He was so angry that he was about to rush up and slap her.

"Gu Dewang, what is true cannot be false. It is useless for you to force her like this!"

He sneered: "Okay, I won't force her. My son has been here the whole time, and he saw everything. Children don't lie!"

"is it?"

Looking at Zhao Qiqi's calm and composed appearance, he realized that he was being led too far, so he also controlled himself.

"Just say whatever you want to say. You said you didn't hit my daughter. Show me the evidence."

"Okay, since you said that children don't lie, how about we take these children here and explain the matter clearly in front of the villagers?"

"Okay! Dad, let's promise her that Mu Tou and Di Gen will definitely tell the truth."

To be honest, the three words were emphasized, which made Gu Dewang realize that it was not Zhao Qiqi who bumped into Gu Ye Zi. Maybe it was Gu Shitou who bumped into Gu Ye Zi.

But since Gu Shitou said this, those must be his friends and he would definitely help them.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that Zhao Qiqi had given them the money!

"Let's go, let's go to the village entrance now, that's where the most people are."

"Okay," Zhao Qiqi nodded.

"Ye Zi, you were frightened, you should go back first."

Gu Dewang suddenly became amiable, and spoke softly to comfort Gu Ye Zi, asking her to go back.

Finally, Gu Ye Zi looked at Zhao Qiqi timidly and nodded.

"Wait, Gu Dewang, this matter is mainly her business. If it was really me who hurt her, wouldn't she have to stay and see how much I should pay? You are so anxious to let her go back now, are you feeling guilty or are you trying to hide something?"

Gu Dewang turned his head and glared at Zhao Qiqi: "Whatever you want."

A group of people headed towards the village entrance, which was the busiest and had the largest number of people gathered.

It is not far from the village entrance now, and it will arrive in a few minutes by walking.

Originally, there were not many people at the entrance of the village, but as Zhao Qiqi and his group walked towards the village entrance in a grand manner, some people who saw them, although they didn't know why, still followed them.

First, this scene is definitely not simple and there must be something exciting to watch. Second, Zhao Qiqi is now a celebrity in Zhaojia Village and everyone is paying close attention to Zhao Qiqi's movements.

The group arrived at the entrance of the village in a mighty procession. At this time, many villagers had gathered here. Everyone was whispering and talking, guessing what had happened.

Zhao Qiqi stood still and looked at Gu Dewang and his son calmly. Gu Dewang looked fearless, as he firmly believed that his son and his friends would stand on their side.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Zhao Qiqi raised his voice and said, "Today, Gu Dewang brought his son and daughter to slander me for hitting his daughter and asked me to pay compensation. But the fact is not like that. It was his daughter who hit me on purpose. Now let's make things clear and let everyone judge."

When the villagers heard this, they immediately became interested and looked at Gu Dewang and his son. Gu Shitou straightened his chest and said loudly: "It was she who hit my sister. So many of us saw it."

Zhao Qiqi sneered: "Okay, since you said everyone saw it, let's ask the children present." She looked around at the children who came with her, "Children, tell me the truth, did I bump into her sister, or did her sister bump into me?"

The children looked at each other, some of them were too timid to speak, while those who were with Gu Shitou looked at him hesitantly. Gu Shitou glared at them fiercely, and the children immediately dared not say a word.

At this moment, Gu Yanyi stood up and said, "Don't be afraid, just tell the truth. If you lie, you'll be doing something wrong."

A child who was a little braver whispered, "I... I don't know who hit who, but Gu Shitou and the others said it was this aunt who did it."

When Gu Dewang heard this, he immediately became proud: "You heard it, everyone said it was you who hit it."

Zhao Qiqi was not in a hurry: "Sometimes, even though they clearly didn't see anything, and children lack the ability to judge, if someone repeats it several times, it will become as if they really saw it. Gu Shitou, you heard what he said, he said he didn't know who hit him, but you kept shouting like that, so they subconsciously thought so."

"Wood, Earth, you two tell me what happened. You saw it all clearly from beginning to end, didn't you?"

Gu Mutou and Liu Digen looked at Zhao Qiqi with some embarrassment, and then wanted to nod.

"Think carefully before you speak. You two weren't the only ones who saw it. Don't you understand why other people didn't come forward? They were afraid of offending me. What about you? What about your parents? Are they afraid of offending me?"

Zhao Qiqi was really angry. She had hired people to work in almost every household, but these people still talked about her in front of the children, causing the children to follow suit.

"You! Aren't you just relying on your family's wealth to force people to side with you?"
