The widow Wei, just a second ago, was still in a complacent and superior posture.

Upon hearing Chen Yang's voice and seeing him walk out, her expression was noticeably flustered, no longer as composed as before.

She even seemed reluctant to meet Chen Yang's eyes.

But after a few seconds, she still mustered the courage to lift her head and make eye contact with Chen Yang!

"Chen... Chen Yang! You're here just in time, quickly settle my wages. I won't be working for you anymore." Widow Wei directly extended her hand, asking Chen Yang for money.

Chen Yang looked at her blankly for a moment or two, just about to speak when she continued, "Don't think you can bully me because there are many of you. If you don't settle accounts with me today, I'll call the police! If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Widow Wei even threatened people, which made Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh.

"Settling wages, I will naturally settle for you, rest assured, I'm not a heartless boss." Chen Yang smiled, then turned his head to ask Wang Hong: "Aunt Wang, how many days of work did she do? Calculate her wages with Kexin."

"Well..." Wang Hong, upon hearing Chen Yang was planning to pay the wages, was somewhat reluctant in her heart.

Because this widow Wei was too arrogant, they thought of teaching her a lesson.

"Go ahead and calculate, don't shortchange her wages," Chen Yang saw Wang Hong's intention.

"Alright then." Wang Hong, seeing Chen Yang said so, couldn't say much and started calculating with Wu Kexin right away.

The widow Wei, seeing Chen Yang, also had to obediently settle her wages, her face suddenly smug again.

She even gave Chen Yang a slightly contemptuous look, with a complete air of a small-minded person who had a little triumph.

"Hey, you kid do understand the law, so I won't call the police today, I'll let it go," said Widow Wei, beaming with pride.

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh again when he heard this: "Of course, without understanding the law, how could I be a boss?"

"Hm, that makes sense." Widow Wei nodded approvingly, then crossed her arms and quietly waited for a minute or two.

After a minute or two, Wu Kexin calculated the wages for Widow Wei and the other two.

Each was over four thousand yuan.

"Chen Yang, here it is." Wu Kexin also took cash out of Yang Ruoxi's bag and handed it to Chen Yang.

"Alright." Chen Yang accepted the money and directly handed it to Widow Wei and the others.

They grabbed the money immediately and, still fearing Chen Yang might have shortchanged them, started counting right in front of everyone.

While counting money, Widow Wei smugly taunted.

"Oh dear, now that we've settled wages today, we won't work together anymore, what a pity, but there's no helping it. Who can blame you people for being so stupid, with big cash opportunities out there, you still choose to earn four thousand a month. Even if you work for a lifetime, it's unlikely you'll earn a million."

Widow Wei got caught up in her own success, even laughing out loud in front of everyone.

The aunts around were gnashing their teeth with anger.

The hot-tempered Wang Hong couldn't take it anymore, stood up directly to scold her.

"Widow Wei, is it such a big deal to have money after selling land? What are you so smug about? Be careful or thieves might target you!" Wang Hong cursed.

Widow Wei sneered contemptuously: "Tch, if they do, they do. It's better than being an old woman like you with no one targeting."

"Alright, we're not on the same path from now on, so let's leave it at that. I can't be bothered to argue with you, I still have to go to the county seat to buy jewelry in the afternoon."

Widow Wei was full of herself. After counting the money correctly, she put it away preparing to leave.

At this moment, Chen Yang stopped her with his hand.

Seeing Chen Yang make a move to stop her, Widow Wei was startled, thinking Chen Yang was going to hit her.

"You... what are you doing? In broad daylight, if you dare to hit me, I'll call the police! I'm telling you, I know the law!" Widow Wei retreated two steps, panic-stricken and threatening.

Chen Yang still wore a faint smile: "Don't worry, I also know the law; I won't lay a hand on you. Stopping you is just to have you compensate for my loss."

Widow Wei was stunned.

"Loss? What loss? I didn't touch your wild mushrooms."

"You didn't touch the wild mushrooms, but your ruckus disrupted the work order on site. So many people stalled for you, wasting all that time. Shouldn't you compensate? Everyone understands the law, surely you aren't unaware of this?" Chen Yang said with a cold smile.

Widow Wei was completely stunned hearing this and couldn't say a word for quite a while.

The aunts around, upon hearing Chen Yang's words, were also taken aback, but they reacted faster than Widow Wei.

They immediately caught on, laughing and agreeing.

"Right, right, Yang Zi is right, you made such a fuss causing us not to work, you need to compensate for this loss."

"Exactly, over an hour without working, compensation is inevitable."

...

The aunts had long been displeased with Widow Wei's manner, and now seized the chance to back Chen Yang, asserting he was right, and demanding compensation.

Widow Wei's face turned ugly all of a sudden, never expecting Chen Yang to make such a move.

"Why are you quiet? Don't tell me you're planning to evade payment? In that case, I'll have to call the police and let them teach you the law." Chen Yang said, picking up his phone to call the police.

Seeing he was about to call the police, Widow Wei quickly said: "Don't call the police... I'll compensate!"

"Alright then, the aunties each earn two hundred a day. You delayed half the day, so compensate one hundred each." At this point, Wu Kexin also stepped up to say.

Hearing each person a hundred, Widow Wei's face turned green.

"Wu Village Chief, this is too much! I just made a little noise, isn't there plenty of people here? Wouldn't I have to compensate a lot?" complained Widow Wei.

For a person like Widow Wei, Wu Kexin had no obliging words to speak, nor any pleasantries to offer.

"You've delayed half the day, a hundred was being lenient. Including delivery workers and restaurant losses, it could be more," Wu Kexin said.

After Wu Kexin finished, Yang Ruoxi suddenly chimed in from the side.

"Oh Kexin Sister, why explain to her? Whether she pays or not, if not we call the police, I heard a similar case before, police came and detained fifteen days, with increased compensation later."

Yang Ruoxi's words, seemingly directed at Wu Kexin, were actually meant for Widow Wei to hear.

Hearing about detention, Widow Wei's face turned even uglier.

She gritted her teeth for quite some time, eventually agreeing to Wu Kexin's compensation.

Together with the other two, she pooled money to compensate everyone on site a hundred yuan each.

Wang Hong even received two hundred.

Because she was management, her wage structure was different.

"Alright, after compensation, you may leave."

With compensation complete, Chen Yang didn't block Widow Wei anymore, smiling as he stepped aside to let her go.

The aunts around, with compensation money from Widow Wei in their hands, were full of ridicule.

"Haha, Widow Wei, you better leave, or you'll delay our work time again, and still need to compensate."

"Oh Blackie's Mom, why remind her, let her stay around, after all, she's got a big business, a million there."

...

The aunts bantered back and forth, making Widow Wei's face turn livid.

But at this moment, she couldn't say anything, had to swallow this setback, and left in a huff.
