Border Cook

Finally, they had Madam Xia, who could help them earn some money and support their lives.

Even if you cannot help everyone, but being able to help one family is already a great virtue and is admirable.

But now, some people, out of jealousy, want to cut off the financial resources of those poor families.

Are you worried that they won’t be able to eat?
Are you happy just seeing them suffer and not having enough to eat every day?

The more they thought about it, the more dissatisfied they became, and they began to blame Ma.

"You actually have this in mind. No wonder you have said so many things here. It turns out you have something bad in your heart!"

"You evil-hearted woman, aren't you afraid that your baby will be born without an asshole?"

"I'm telling you, I have a bad temper. If you keep talking nonsense and trying to sow discord here, I'll slap you to death. Do you believe it?"

"..."

Faced with the abuse and warnings from the crowd, Ma was so angry that she stamped her feet.

Taking two steps back, Ma shouted at Feng, "Don't think I don't know that your two nephews are in the army. Do you think that if you help Xia to say a few good words, her family's Lu Dutou will think of you and take good care of your two nephews?"

“I have never thought about that.”

Feng looked at Ma, still speaking slowly, "But I know that your useless man was demoted from a captain to a squadron leader, and was demoted two ranks. Who knows what mistakes he made in the army? Maybe he became a deserter out of fear of death?"

"Speaking of this matter, I suddenly remembered that you were not angry because you saw that Lu Dutou was promoted and Madam Xia was doing well in business and had a good reputation, so you wanted to pick a fight with her."

Being hit on the point, Ma's face changed, "You, you are talking nonsense!"

"It doesn't matter whether I'm talking nonsense or not, what matters is this." Feng pointed to the City God Temple in the distance, "The City God can see everything this person does. When he gets punished, it will be too late to regret."

retribution?

People in Jinqiu County all believe in the City God and also firmly believe in retribution from the underworld.

Hearing what Feng said, Ma couldn't help but shiver.

After hesitating for a moment, he stopped arguing with Feng and others, turned around and walked quickly home.

It looked like he was fleeing in panic.

Only when he left the alley did he slow down his pace and calm down a little.

What is she afraid of?
As for retribution, even if the City God really wants to punish someone, it should be the evil-hearted couple Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue.

If Lu Qiyan hadn't played a trick behind her back, how could he have become the captain of the city, and how could her man have become the squadron leader and be looked down upon by others now?
And Xia Mingyue is clearly a greedy businessman. She relies on others to make money for her, and she still wants to gain a reputation as a good person. Isn't that just being hypocritical?
As for those who spoke for this black-hearted couple, they were just trying to get close to them and gain some benefits.

Otherwise, why does her man talk to her like this now that he has become the squadron leader? When her man was the captain before, wasn't the man surnamed Feng also always kind and smiling to her?
These people are all snobs.

A bitch who flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak!
Ma spat on the ground and then hurried away.

Here, after Ma left, everyone talked for a long time.

Most of the content revolved around Xia Mingyue and Ma. He praised Xia Mingyue, criticized Ma's evil heart, and occasionally said a few words about Feng.

"It has to be Aunt Feng. Her words are like knives, piercing Ma's heart and hurting her."

"I'm not that powerful, I just can't stand her barking and can't tell the difference between her words."

Feng laughed, "To put it bluntly, it's all because of the surname."

Feng has two more points than Ma, isn't that just two points better than her?
However, most of the other women were blind and illiterate. They did not understand Feng's joke and just looked at her with some confusion.

Feng didn't explain much, she just packed up her needlework basket for sewing shoe soles and said, "Come on, it's getting late, I have to go back and cook."

The others looked at the setting sun and said goodbye in groups of two or three to go home.

There are no secrets among the people in the market, and all words can be spread by the wind to every corner of Jinqiu County.

Ma's critical remarks today and Feng's retort at that time were all heard by Xia Mingyue and others at noon of the second day.

"That Ma!" Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth. "Youcai came back and said that when we attacked Changzhou City, that Shao was really a piece of shit. He wanted to push Qi Yan's army to death. Fortunately, Qi Yan thought carefully and avoided a disaster. Shao was demoted because of this."

"I thought he would learn his lesson this time, but I never thought his wife was not a good person either. She was plotting against my brother and sister-in-law behind my back."

"Fortunately, Aunt Feng responded to her on the spot this time, and the people present were not stupid and were not misled by her. Otherwise, I really don't know how they would have misunderstood my sister-in-law."

The more Mrs. Lu spoke, the angrier she became. "What a wicked bitch! If I see her next time, I'll give her two slaps in the face!"

I finally got rid of my anger.

"Sister-in-law, calm down." Xia Mingyue just smiled and said, "Next time if you see Ma, you don't have to be so angry. Be careful not to hurt your own hand."

"But I just can't get angry..."

"Sister-in-law, why do you think so?" Xia Mingyue said, "Why is Ma so angry and angry, and even thinks of ways to say bad things about me behind my back?"

"This..." Mrs. Lu was stunned. "Of course it's because Qi Yan got promoted in the army, and my sister-in-law's business is doing well and is loved by others, so she is jealous..."

Before she finished her words, Mrs. Lu stopped talking. When she saw Xia Mingyue's sly smile, she slapped her thigh fiercely and said, "Yes, the one who is angry should be Mrs. Ma!"

"Yes." Xia Mingyue nodded repeatedly, "She was angry and hateful, and she wanted to tear me to pieces, but Qi Yan and I were better than her family in every way. She hated me to the core, but she couldn't get rid of me. I'm afraid she would be so angry that she couldn't sleep at night."

So, they are not the ones who should be angry.

They should be happy.

Happy because those annoying people are getting mad.

"That's what happened." Mrs. Lu nodded repeatedly. "Look at my brain. I can't wrap my head around this for a while."

I almost fell for that Ma’s trick!
Isn't that bitch looking for trouble just to piss them off?

But her wish was not fulfilled!
As for Ma's place, she could just ignore it. As for Feng's place, Xia Mingyue was thinking whether she should go to their house when she had time. (End of this chapter)
