Border Cook

Chapter 79 Frustration
"But you don't look like you're alright." Wu Xiong said with a fake smile, "You're so badly injured, you need to see a doctor right away. I'll take you to the clinic. I love doing good deeds, so please don't be polite to me."

As he spoke, Wu Xiong increased the strength in his hands.

Zhang Lai Fu had another layer of cold sweat on his back and his face was full of fear.

If Wu Xiong takes him to the clinic, can he still save his life?

"No, no, thank you, thank you for your kindness." Zhang Lai Fu took a deep breath and spoke like an old lady with no teeth. He looked at Wu Xiong pitifully, hoping that he could still retain a little kindness and forgive him this time.

"Are you so stubborn? Well, I have other things to do and can't take care of you." Wu Xiong let go of Zhang Lai Fu's arm, "But next time you'd better be more careful and look carefully when you visit someone else's house. Don't go to the wrong door and dirty their place."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhang Lai Fu nodded quickly and agreed.

"get out!"

"Yes Yes……"

Zhang Lai Fu endured the pain and staggered out.

From a distance, he looked like a slowly rolling ball, stumbling along with his back hunched.

Bastard!

Don't you even look at your own worth and yet you're thinking of bullying Madam Xia?

Pooh!
Wu Xiong spat on the ground, then felt something was wrong, quickly raised his foot, and wiped the old phlegm clean with the sole of his shoe.

By the way, he rubbed some dirt from the side and wiped off the blood stains that had been left when Zhang Lai Fu fell to the ground.

After finishing all these, Wu Xiong took a deep breath, touched the corners of his lips with his fingers, and felt the curvature of his lips when he smiled.

Only when he felt that his smile was very friendly did he pick up the small bamboo basket in his hand and walk into Xia Mingyue's house.

Jiang Zhuguo was just about to pour the vegetable leaves that he and Xia Mingyue had just swept up into the broken wooden barrel outside the door when he nearly bumped into Wu Xiong.

"Wu, Brother Wu is here." After Jiang Zhuguo stood firm, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Although he knew that even if Wu Xiong was vicious, he was only vicious to those who owed him money and those who deliberately defamed him, Jiang Zhuguo still felt afraid when he saw Wu Xiong's rough bearded face, and subconsciously took a step back.

Wu Xiong: "..."

The last time he came to Xia Mingyue's house, Madam Jiang behaved in the same way.

Was he born so vicious?

Wu Xiong suddenly felt frustrated, and the smile on his face faded a little.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhuguo became even more frightened and held the dustpan tightly in his hand, "Wu, Wu, Brother Wu, are you here to see Sister Xia?"

"Yes." Wu Xiong nodded, "I'm here to find Madam Xia."

While the two were talking, Xia Mingyue came out of the house and approached them, "Brother Wu."

"Madam Xia." Wu Xiong bowed and handed over the bamboo basket in his hand. "My mother made some eggs earlier. They are now ready. My mother asked me to bring these over and give them to Madam Xia to try."

"Originally my mother wanted to come by herself, but now it's the hottest time of the year, and even in the morning and evening it's hot enough to make people feel short of breath, so I didn't allow her to walk around, and she just stayed at home to enjoy the cool air."

"Auntie, you still care about me." Xia Mingyue took the bamboo basket with a smile, "Thank you for me. When I'm done with my work these few days, I'll go to visit you."

The weather is hot and Aunt Han is too old to move around, so she just went to visit her.

"Okay." Wu Xiong agreed hastily. It was boring for my mother to stay at home, and if Lady Xia visited her often, she would definitely be very happy.

Wu Xiong immediately wanted to ask Xia Mingyue to visit more often when she was free, but he thought that Xia Mingyue was very busy on weekdays, and if his mother knew that it was he who suggested it, she would definitely give him a severe beating.

Well, let’s just see if Madam Xia is free.

Wu Xiong swallowed his words, exchanged a few words with Xia Mingyue, then said goodbye and left.

Seeing Wu Xiong leave, Jiang Zhuguo finally let out a sigh of relief.

Xia Mingyue noticed and smiled, "This Brother Wu is not a bad guy. There is no need to be so afraid of him."

"I didn't want to be scared, but when I saw his appearance, I felt that he was very fierce, so I thought the farther I was from him, the better." Jiang Zhuguo felt a little embarrassed, "I was judging people by their appearance, which is actually wrong."

"It will probably be fine once you get more familiar with it." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "In fact, those who have fierceness written on their faces are much better than those who keep evil in their hearts."

Jiang Zhuguo knew that Xia Mingyue was expressing her feelings about Zhang Laifu, and nodded, "Yes."

"I just don't know if Brother Jiang did anything to Sister Xia when the pancake stall was not doing well..."

Feeling resentful.

Jiang Zhuguo hesitated to speak.

"It doesn't matter if you have it." Xia Mingyue didn't care much. "It's just an idea. As long as it's not implemented, it doesn't matter."

Everyone has dark thoughts and stuff, and the reason why we are human is because we can control it.

As for the rest, don't be too harsh.

"Being too serious will make people overthink things. It's better to be ignorant." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.

"That makes sense." Jiang Zhuguo also smiled.

The two of them were busy for a while, and Lu came back with the leeks, onions, ginger and other things that Xia Mingyue asked her to buy. She also had a horrified look on her face, "I heard that Zhang Laifu came to cause trouble for my sister-in-law. Is everything okay?"

"We are fine, it's just that Zhang Lai Fu was bitten by Wu Jin." Xia Mingyue replied with a smile.

"Bitten by black gold?" Mrs. Lu spat on the ground. "You deserve it! You are such a black-hearted person. You can't do your own business well, but you don't think about how to do it better. You only think about how to ruin other people's hearts. You are such a person who deserves to be struck by lightning when you go out!"

As soon as Lu finished speaking, a rumbling sound was heard in the sky, and then dark clouds floated over from the horizon, bringing gusts of cool breeze.

I saw the raindrops falling.

"Sister-in-law just said there was going to be thunder, and then the thunder sounded. Could it be that sister-in-law has blessed her with good fortune?" Xia Mingyue joked as she tidied up things in the yard.

Mrs. Lu was also busy collecting things and clothes. When she heard Xia Mingyue say this, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Who knows, it might be true."

When she decided to buy Xia Mingyue back, she said that she must be a good person and it would be a good choice for Lu Qiyan to be her wife. Isn't it coming true now?
She had talked to Zhao Youcai before, saying that Xia Mingyue's food business was definitely doing well, and now the business was also booming.

As for Zhang Laifu being struck by lightning...

There is thunder, but whether it will strike Zhang Lai Fu depends on God's will.

Oh, that’s not right. Did she forget to mention the time?

Even if God wants to strike you, he probably doesn't know when he will do that?
