The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 147 Burning the bridge across the river

You said that these snails used to rot in the creek and no one picked them up, but now they can suddenly make money, why are there still people who are picky and complain that five cents a bucket is too little? Why are there so many things? But there are some people who don't know what is good for them and have ruined everyone's way of making money."

"That's what I mean. Who says it's not true?"

Soon, the news that Shen Yan did not collect snails spread throughout the streets and alleys, and the villagers all knew that Shen Yan did not collect snails.

Everyone tacitly pushed the blame for this incident onto Wan Xiaolian, thinking that she had deliberately picked trouble with Shen Yan, which led to the current result.

Some people, because their source of income had been cut off, took out their anger on Wan Xiaolian. They threw feces at her door in the middle of the night, causing complaints from the surrounding neighbors.

It is also because of this that the neighbors complain about Wan Xiaolian.

Moreover, recently, Mr. Wang and his wife Wang Juan have become unkind. At first, when Wan Xiaolian came to deliver vegetables, they directly tried to lower the price for her, and later they simply refused to accept them.

As a result, Wan Xiaolian couldn't sell the vegetables she grew, and she had no income at all.

It is said that Wan Xiaolian was not well-received in her husband's family. Thanks to the money she made a few days ago, her life has become better.

Now that she is not making money, her mother-in-law is even more displeased with her.

Not to mention complaints, even abuse is a common occurrence.

In the village, the news that Shen Yan no longer bought snails spread, causing more dissatisfaction and anger. Everyone put all the blame on Wan Xiaolian, believing that she was the culprit behind all this.

"This Wan Xiaolian is simply a nuisance!" someone said angrily, "She only knows how to make trouble all day long, and now she has even ruined Shen Yan's business. This is really too much!"

"Yeah, she's a scum!"

Another villager echoed, "She should have been taught a lesson long ago. See if she dares to act like a fool again!"

In the village, dissatisfaction with Wan Xiaolian became increasingly intense, and some people even took radical actions, such as throwing feces at her doorstep at night. This bad behavior caused anger and dissatisfaction among the neighbors, and the whole village fell into tension and anxiety.

At the same time, Wan Xiaolian's own situation became increasingly difficult.

She couldn't sell the vegetables she grew, her income was almost zero, and she was also under pressure and blame from her mother-in-law. In such an environment, she felt increasingly isolated and helpless, and faced with the complaints and abuses of the villagers, her struggle and anxiety were beyond words.

Beneath the seemingly peaceful surface of the village, there are actually many disputes and conflicts hidden.

The relationship between Wan Xiaolian and the villagers becomes increasingly tense, and her fate becomes increasingly precarious.

In this village struggle, who will have the last laugh and who will be the biggest loser, only time will tell.

Wan Xiaolian became the target of public criticism, and the news unknowingly reached Shen Yan's ears.

At the same time, Shen Yan was lying on the bed resting. Sister Xiaolan fed her porridge and told her interesting things that happened in the village.

Shen Yan was having her period and had some stomach pain.

But after eating some warm porridge, I felt much better, and with the hot water bottle covering my abdomen, I felt warm.

Her face was very pale in the morning, but now it has become much rosier.

After eating the food handed to her by Sister Xiaolan and drinking the chicken soup, Shen Yan said slowly, "From what you said, Wan Xiaolian is living a pretty good life now."

She doesn’t feel the suffering Wan Xiaolian has gone through, so what does this matter?

After taking a bite of the chicken in the chicken soup, Shen Yan felt that the meat was a bit hard to chew, so he stopped eating.

Sister Xiaolan responded: "She is having a very hard time right now. You don't know that Mr. Wang doesn't accept her vegetables anymore, and he even told others that the vegetables grown by Wan Xiaolian are not fresh. Isn't this destroying other people's livelihood?"

Shen Yan suddenly realized that Wang Lao Da and his wife were just trying to destroy the bridge after crossing it. They just couldn't stand to see others doing well.

At the beginning, everyone in the village supplied vegetables to Shen Yan. The Wang Lao Da and his wife used high prices to attract them and let everyone supply vegetables to them, just like Wan Xiaolian now.

After listening to Sister Xiaolan's words, Shen Yan understood a lot.

She realized that the behavior of Wang Lao Da and Wang Juan was not out of hatred for Wan Xiao Lian, but out of the pursuit of their own interests.

The reason why they no longer accept Wan Xiaolian's dishes is to protect their own business interests and maintain their own status.

"It seems that there are really no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests." Shen Yan sighed softly, "Boss Wang and his people have always been my most trusted partners. I didn't expect that they would choose to betray me in the face of interests."

After hearing this, Xiaolan also sighed: "Yes, people's hearts are hard to predict. Sometimes even the closest people will do anything for their own selfish interests."

Shen Yan thought quietly, and she realized that she had no real friends in this village, only temporary partners.

She understood that if she wanted to survive in this dangerous world, she had to stay vigilant and always beware of the people around her.

"However, I can't stop because of these." Shen Yan said firmly, "I must keep moving forward, for myself and for those who still need me."

Sister Xiaolan looked at Shen Yan's determined eyes, her heart filled with admiration and trust.

She knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges she encountered, Shen Yan would face them bravely and would not give up easily.

These people went to supply food to Mr. Wang, so Shen Yan naturally did not accept their food.

Unexpectedly, after Wan Xiaolian got into this situation, Boss Wang simply stopped hiring her as his servant. Isn't this just destroying the bridge after crossing it?

These people deserved it, especially Wan Xiaolian, who was like a lapdog, being ordered around by others and had no long-term vision at all.

Anyone with a little common sense knows what kind of people Mr. Wang and his wife are, and they have to be careful when doing things.

No one can outsmart them. In comparison, smart people are still willing to deal with Shen Yan. After all, Shen Yan is a young girl and is reliable.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan said to Sister Xiaolan, "For those who are no longer cooperating with Boss Wang, if they want to sell vegetables to us again in the future, we have to lower the price. We can't sell them at the previous price. We must not accept those with poor quality or those that are not fresh. We can openly say that our business is not doing well, that we are not making as much money as before, and that we don't have much working capital."

"Yeah." Sister Xiaolan nodded and took it to heart.

Sister Xiaolan nodded, expressing her understanding and support for Shen Yan's decision. She knew that it was crucial for Shen Yan to protect her business interests. She would fully cooperate with Shen Yan's strategy to ensure the smooth operation of the business.

Shen Yan looked at Sister Xiaolan's serious expression and felt grateful. She knew that with a capable assistant like Sister Xiaolan, her career would be able to move to a higher level.
