Chapter 178 Uncle Ning Resigns
Chen Guixiang was not a pushover either. Seeing Aunt Ning Wu dare to scold her like that, she immediately stood with her hands on her hips and scolded back:
"Shut up, stop muddying the waters here! No matter what, she is my son's wife, and she has to call me mother at all times. Who do you think you are, and you are here to give orders!"
Aunt Ning Wu held Uncle Ning Wu's hand tightly and said with all her might:
"You should shut up and get out of my yard. We don't want to be the accountant of that shop. Tomorrow we will go to Yu Wei to explain everything. But it is impossible for you to take the account book from us. Even if I have to bear the infamy today, I will fight you to the end!"
After saying this, Aunt Ning Wu looked at Uncle Ning Wu firmly and said:
"Old man, bring us our kitchen knife! If she stays in our yard again, you can chop her with the kitchen knife!"
After hearing this, Uncle Ning Wu turned around and went into the kitchen without hesitation. Chen Guixiang saw that the two men must be very angry, so she stumbled and squeezed through the crowd and ran out, shouting as she ran:
"Just wait for me, just wait for me!"
When Uncle Ning Wu came out with a kitchen knife, Chen Guixiang had already run away. Uncle Ning Wu sighed helplessly and said to the people who were still watching:
"Fellow villagers, please go away. I am sorry to have disturbed you all with what happened today."
"Uncle Ning Wu, we all know what kind of person you are, don't think too much!"
"Yes, go check on Aunt Ning Wu. I think she's seriously injured."
Uncle Ning nodded to everyone and locked the gate. He put the kitchen knife in the kitchen and filled a basin with hot water to clean Aunt Ning's wound.
"Old lady, how can I tell Yuwei about this matter that Chen Guixiang has made such a fuss?"
Aunt Ning Wu covered her wound with a handkerchief and frowned:
"Just tell the truth. This matter has caused such a stir today. Even if we don't say it, others will spread it to Yuwei's ears. I thought this was a good job, but I didn't think it through. I didn't expect that getting involved with someone like Chen Guixiang would definitely not end well."
Aunt Ning Wu said as she looked up at Uncle Ning Wu and said helplessly:
"Tomorrow morning, go and resign from your job at the shop with Yuwei. We are both too old to bear the hustle and bustle any more."
Uncle Ning didn't say anything either. He just lowered his head and hummed in a muffled voice.
next day
Jiang Yuwei was loading paper onto the ox cart and preparing to go to the shop to display the goods when she saw Uncle Ning rushing over with the account book.
"Uncle Ning Wu, you don't have to come over and walk with me. You know the way anyway, so you can just drive the ox cart from your home."
As soon as Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, she saw Uncle Ning waving his hands and saying:
"Yuwei, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't handle your job. Here's the account book. I was afraid it would delay things, so I rushed over early to give it to you. I've checked yesterday's accounts. There's no problem. It's clearly written in the account book."
Jiang Yuwei took the account book handed over by Uncle Ning Wu and frowned in confusion:
"Uncle Ning Wu, you've been doing a good job, why do you suddenly stop? If you have something going on at home, I can find someone to take your place for a day or two."
Uncle Ning sighed helplessly.
"Hey, Yuwei, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's your mother-in-law..."
When Jiang Yuwei heard this, she immediately thought of what Chen Guixiang and Ning Chunlin said in their courtyard yesterday afternoon, and asked anxiously:
"What's wrong with my mother-in-law again?"
Uncle Ning looked at Ning Huaizhi who was sitting on the ox cart, then looked at Jiang Yuwei, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jiang Yuwei frowned and said:
"Uncle Ning, if you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, I don't know what happened. You suddenly come to me and tell me that you don't want to be a bookkeeper anymore. I can't find a suitable candidate on the spur of the moment."
After hearing this, Uncle Ning waved his hands anxiously:
"No, no, Yuwei, listen to me. I really want to work in your shop, but your mother-in-law is too noisy. We are old and can't stand it anymore. Yesterday afternoon, she broke into our yard alone and insisted on looking at the account book. Your fifth aunt said that you two have separated and the account book cannot be shown to your mother-in-law. I also think she is right, but who knew, hey..."
Seeing Uncle Ning Wu like this, Jiang Yuwei spoke directly:
"Uncle Wu, you are right. The account books of our shop must not be shown to others. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide anything between us."
Uncle Ning looked at Jiang Yuwei and said helplessly:
"Your mother-in-law got so angry that she scratched your fifth aunt's face. The noise yesterday was so loud that almost everyone in the village knew about it. Your mother-in-law also accused me of embezzling your family's money and ruining my reputation everywhere. I really..."
Ning Huaizhi, who was sitting on the ox cart, heard this and immediately said to Uncle Ning Wu with a guilty look on his face:
"Uncle Wu, I'm really sorry for making you and Aunt Wu suffer. When we get back today, I will come to your house to apologize in person."
Uncle Ning waved his hands helplessly and said:
"No need, Huaizhi. I know what kind of person you are best. It's just that what your mother did was too chilling!"
Jiang Yuwei stuffed the account book back into Uncle Ning Wu's hands, stared into his eyes and said firmly:
"Uncle Wu, since you want to work in our shop, then stay. Aunt Wu is right. We have separated from Chen Guixiang a long time ago. She has no right to interfere in our family affairs. I will personally handle her affairs and make sure she doesn't dare to come to harass your family again. Can you trust me?"
Uncle Ning looked at Jiang Yuwei, then lowered his head to look at the account book in his hand, and gently stroked the book. In fact, Uncle Ning really liked being an accountant, because only in this way did he feel that life became interesting and more motivated. If Chen Guixiang had not been too unreasonable, Uncle Ning would definitely not be willing to give up this hard-earned job.
So Uncle Ning looked at Jiang Yuwei and gritted his teeth:
"Okay, Yuwei, I believe you, so I won't quit my job for now."
After saying that, Uncle Ning said goodbye to Jiang Yuwei and went home to drive the ox cart to the shop in town.
Jiang Yuwei watched Uncle Ning Wu walk away, then turned back to look at Ning Huaizhi and said:
"Huaizhi, what do you think of what happened today?"
Ning Huaizhi pinched his brows helplessly.
"I really didn't expect that my mother could do this. Yuwei, this matter still has to be left to you to solve. No matter what you do, I will support you."
Jiang Yuwei nodded.
"Okay, then call the idiot back tonight, and let's go to the Ning family to see what your mother is up to. I have to go to town to buy some things first, and let's go see Aunt Ning Wu together tonight."
