The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme C.456 - 443 Are the Leg Bones Hard Enough

Chapter 456: Chapter 443 Are the Leg Bones Hard Enough

The elder brother sent his own younger brother to the County Government Office himself. Regardless of whether Zhang Xiangrong could bring himself to do it, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to compensate for the damaged items. In the end, Zhang Xiangrong would still be at a loss!

Just picturing Zhang Xiangrong’s desperate and powerless expression, Zhang Xiangrui felt incredibly relieved. He believed that he could get back at him for all the resentment he had suffered today.

“What a brilliant idea.” Zhang Xiangrui said, rolling up his sleeves.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Guo spat into her palm.

No doubt, once a cheat, always a cheat.

These people are like immortal cockroaches, springing back to life after each defeat.

They keep failing and failing, but they never learn their lesson.

It must be said that this was very consistent with her first impression of Mrs. Guo – a typical villain from a novel.

Zhuang Qingning facepalmed and asked in a low voice, “Are you sure?”

Zhang Xiangrui didn’t expect anyone to respond to his words, so he looked at Zhuang Qingning in surprise, “Eh?”

“Do you both definitely want to do this to the tofu shop?” Zhuang Qingning asked again.

Being suddenly challenged, especially with such casual disdain, agitated Zhang Xiangrui. He retorted indignantly, “Who’s this meddling little girl?”

“The shop manager.” Mrs. Guo pulled Zhang Xiangrui’s arm, “It seems that this girl is the manager of the tofu shop…”

The shop manager?

Zhang Xiangrui looked Zhuang Qingning up and down.

He didn’t expect the shop’s manager to be so young and also a girl. No matter who she is, she got what she deserved for foolishly employing the Zhang Xiangrong family as her staff.

Happening into such a situation today is purely bad luck!

Zhang Xiangrui sneered at the corners of his mouth, “The manager? Good timing then. You should learn to keep your eyes wide open when you hire staff next time and not…”

Crack!

The sudden crisp sound startles Zhang Xiangrui.

Especially when he saw Zhuang Qingning casually snap a rolling pin handed to her by someone else, a cold sweat covered his back in the shock.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Qingning nonchalantly held the two pieces of the broken rolling pin, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Zhang Xiangrui.

Another crack sounded.

The two pieces of rolling pin now split into four.

Zhang Xiangrui felt another layer of sweat on his back.

“This wood is just wood after all, it simply can’t endure any breakages,” Zhuang Qingning sighed, “but I’ve heard that a human’s leg bone is more robust than this piece of wood. I wonder if it’s true…”

As she said this, Zhuang Qingning’s gaze fell onto Zhang Xiangrui’s leg, and a hint of a threatening smile played on her lips.

Zhang Xiangrui suddenly felt a pain in his leg, he instinctively crouched down and hugged his leg, “You wouldn’t dare do this in broad daylight!”

“Whether I dare or not, should we give it a try?” Zhuang Qingning gave a sinister smile, “At worst you’ll report me to the sheriff. But even if the county magistrate gives me a stern punishment, your leg won’t get better. That would be quite a pleasing sight for me.”

Is this young girl really that ruthless?

She’s so fearless, like she has nothing to lose. After hearing what Zhuang Qingning said, Zhang Xiangrui felt a shiver of fear, and he couldn’t help taking two steps backwards.

“You… We’ll see about that!”

Zhang Xiangrui, regardless of anything else, quickly turned around and, like a streak of smoke, ran away.

“Honey…” Mrs. Guo shouted after him, running after him at once.

Zhuang Qingning watched the couple stumble and scurry off in a panic, rubbing her nose.

She had to admit, dealing with such audacious people required a similarly audacious method.

Conversations and arguments were useless. In a crucial moment, only bare knuckles worked.

If you’re tough enough, then others will be obedient and accommodating.

Zhuang Qingning smiled and picked up the broken rolling pin, asking the old man selling rolling pins by the roadside, “How much is this, sir? I’ll pay you.”

There was nothing suitable at hand to demonstrate with earlier, so Zhuang Qingning just grabbed a rolling pin from the old man’s stall selling rolling pins, brooms and the like as props.

“It’s…it’s on me.” The old man was dumbstruck by Zhuang Qingning’s act of breaking two rolling pins bare-handed, and he waved his hand vehemently as he came back to his senses.

It seemed to him that Zhuang Qingning was a local tyrant, and if he could avoid provoking her, it would be best to try and please her.

“I was just scaring off those two scoundrels; I’m not a bad person…”

Zhuang Qingning explained somewhat helplessly while counting out the copper coins from her purse.

She remembered that a slightly larger rolling pin was sold for five coins when she was strolling around the town. So, this smaller rolling pin should be about three or four coins.

Zhuang Qingning thought for a moment, then took out five coins and put them on the old man’s stand, “You don’t need to give me any change, keep it.”

The extra amount will be for scaring the old man, enough to buy him a cup of tea.

Seeing Zhuang Qingning actually pay, the old man didn’t dare to take it immediately, but he didn’t refuse it either.

Zhuang Qingning didn’t provide any further explanation. After leaving the money, she went back to the shop.

Before she even reached the shop, Zhuang Qingning saw the old man who had been selling right next to them start to hurriedly pack his things and prepare to leave.

Well, she really frightened him quite a bit.

Zhuang Qingning held her head in her hand, feeling somewhat helpless, and she joined the hustle inside the shop.

Because of the earlier incident, a lot of time was wasted. It was busy inside the shop with customers constantly coming and going. Mrs. Cao and Zhang Xiangrong, etc., simply didn’t have time to talk to Zhuang Qingning.

It wasn’t until the customers started to thin and the majority of the stock in the shop was sold, hence giving them a break, did Mrs. Cao share the incident caused by the Zhang Xiangrui couple with Zhuang Qingning.

“Actually, I didn’t have to hide anything from Aunt. I’ve been watching the whole situation from near the entrance.” Zhuang Qingning smiled, “You and Uncle Xiangrong really are something – you managed to leave them speechless.”

Mrs. Cao didn’t expect that Zhuang Qingning had seen everything and was even praised by her. She felt embarrassed at once, “It was all Uncle Xiangrong, I didn’t do much. I just listened to him and did as I was told.”

“So it was Uncle Xiangrong’s idea?” Zhuang Qingning asked, somewhat surprised.

From her impression, both Zhang Xiangrong and Mrs. Cao were rather straightforward people. However, their way of dealing with the incident just now didn’t seem to be something that the typically straightforward Zhang Xiangrong would come up with.
