Border Cook

Chapter 78 Ignorance of good and evil
"Madam Xia, you should have a good idea in your mind and take precautions in your daily life to avoid a big fall."

It would be best to take thorough precautions to make Jiang Erniu feel uncomfortable, and slowly create a rift between the two sides. Then it would be exciting to watch.

Things like rifts can be big or small. If it's big, it means the two families will not cooperate with each other, Xia Mingyue will earn less money, and Jiang Erniu will return to his previous hard life. This is the result he wants to see most.

If it is smaller, the cooperation between the two companies will be at most a little unpleasant. They will still make money, but each of them will be in a bad mood. Although this will not hurt him seriously, it is enough to make him feel comfortable.

After all, the most annoying thing is not dying from a serious illness, but getting sores on your body that are difficult to cure or remove and that fester from time to time.

Zhang Lai Fu understood this logic, and felt that as long as he said it, no matter how much Xia Mingyue listened to, it would be enough to achieve his goal.

Jiang Erniu, ah Jiang Erniu, you are not the only one who can stab someone in the back, he can do it too, and he can do it more efficiently and more efficiently than you.

Zhang Lai Fu looked heartbroken and as if he was extremely worried about Xia Mingyue, but in fact, he was already very happy because he imagined Jiang Erniu's future sadness.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, but he tried very hard to suppress it.

This subtle little movement caught Xia Mingyue's attention, making her feel that her guess was true.

Zhang Lai Fu's business and Jiang Erniu's business were both affected by her pancake stall and even Xia Ji. Zhang Lai Fu saw that there were people like him and felt a sense of mutual appreciation, so they had been living in peace. But now that Jiang Erniu has joined Xia Ji and is making more and more money, Zhang Lai Fu can no longer sit still.

After all, there is nothing more sad than watching others make money.

If there is, it is watching others make money while you make less and less money.

This person...

Xia Mingyue sighed.

Zhang Laifu raised his eyebrows, "Madam Xia, don't be too sad. You can't judge a person's heart by his appearance. It's not too late to know now."

"Indeed." Xia Mingyue nodded and said slowly, "I'm afraid that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. On the surface, they all look like decent people, but in the end, they do things that are not worthy of public display and are despicable."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Lai Fu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, madly agreeing with what Xia Mingyue said.

"It's fine to talk about it behind our backs, but if you want to tear each other apart and do something that will end in disaster, that would be really ugly."

Xia Mingyue said, "If everyone knew about this, I don't think this business would be able to continue at all. We wouldn't even be able to make a living. We are all smart people and we need to know the priorities."

"Yeah, we have to keep the score clear..."

Zhang Lai Fu was halfway through his words when he was stunned.

Why do I feel like these words are not directed at Jiang Erniu, but at...

he himself?
"Madam Xia, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Lai Fu hung his face.

"Whatever you think it means, that's what it means." Xia Mingyue replied indifferently and picked up a big broom from the wall next to her.

The big broom is made of bamboo branches and leaves tied together with hemp rope, and the handle is made of a sturdy bamboo pole. It is wide and durable, and the length is just right, making it very easy to use.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, since you have your own business, you should take good care of it. It's no wonder that your business is not doing well because you keep staring at others all day. In fact, it's okay if your business is not doing well. I'm afraid that if you only stare at other people's business and forget to take care of your own stall, and let others stare at you, then you will lose more than you gain."

"What does this mean?"

Zhang Lai Fu's face turned red.

Are you threatening him?

Was he scared into growing up?
A young lady of young age is thinking of poking a tiger's nose with a straw. Where does she get the courage?
Calling you Madam Xia is giving you face, but if I don’t give you face… “Don’t be ungrateful!”

Zhang Lai Fu clenched his fists in his sleeves, stiffened his neck, and looked like a fighting cock, ready to fight with someone at any time.

Xia Mingyue ignored him, just held the broom in her hand and started sweeping the yard vigorously.

It hasn't rained for some time and the weather is quite dry, so there is loose dust on the ground. In addition, Xia Mingyue's courtyard wall and house have just been repaired, so there is more loose dust than other people's houses.

The raised dust flew straight towards Zhang Lai Fu, choking him and causing him to cough several times.

"This floor is so dirty because it hasn't been swept for half a day. We should quickly sweep away all the dirt." Xia Mingyue said.

This is even more insulting to him!
Zhang Lai Fu was so angry that he raised his hand to tell Xia Mingyue to shut up.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Wu Jin rushed over like lightning and pounced directly on Zhang Lai Fu.

Wu Jin was born tall, and he had plenty of food and drink here during this period, so he became much stronger. Now in order to protect Xia Mingyue, he put all his strength into the pounce, and knocked the thin Zhang Lai Fu to the ground.

Then he bit Zhang Lai Fu's arm, which he subconsciously stretched out to block.

Zhang Lai Fu screamed, began to struggle desperately, and even started to attack Wu Jin.

But he was obviously no match for Wu Jin. Instead, because Wu Jin bit his arm so hard, he couldn't bear the pain and began to beg for mercy.

"I won't dare to do it again. Madam Xia, please forgive me this time..."

Seeing Zhang Lai Fu crying bitterly, Xia Mingyue called Wu Jin.

Wu Jin relaxed and glared at Zhang Lai Fu fiercely before returning to Xia Mingyue. However, he still squatted and stared at Zhang Lai Fu to prevent him from attacking Xia Mingyue again.

Zhang Lai Fu's arm had been torn by the sleeve, and was covered in blood. The pain made him break out in a cold sweat on his back. He was very afraid of Wu Jin, and now when he saw his scrutinizing gaze, he dared not move.

After taking a short breath, Zhang Lai Fu quickly got up from the ground and ran out in a panic.

Because he was in a hurry, he tripped on the threshold when going out the door and fell hard again.

The arm that was bitten by Wu Jin fell to the ground again, and Zhang Lai Fu grimaced in pain.

"Yo, what's going on?"

Hearing the noise, Zhang Lai Fu looked up with difficulty and saw Wu Xiong walking towards him. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"No, it's okay..." Zhang Lai Fu stuttered.

He crawled out of Xia Mingyue's house with injuries, how could he be okay?

Even if Madam Xia is fine, he has some problems here.

"How can you say it's okay after losing so much blood?" Wu Xiong chuckled and reached out to support Zhang Lai Fu.

But when he helped him, he specifically grabbed Zhang Lai Fu's right arm, which was already bloody, and secretly exerted more force.

The howling sound like a pig being slaughtered reached his throat, but when he saw Wu Xiong's fierce eyes, he held it back. Zhang Laifu took a breath of cold air, "I, I'm really fine, really!"
