Chapter 131 Are you angry or not?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at the Gu family's seafood stall. Niu Ersao didn't know what she was thinking, but she was still a little timid. She felt that if she listened to her mother-in-law today, she might be in big trouble.
At the last minute, she pretended to have a stomachache, clutching her stomach and saying, "Mom, I suddenly have a stomachache, I need to find a place to relieve myself."
Grandma Niu glared at her daughter-in-law with displeasure and muttered, "Lazy people poop and pee a lot."
Without caring where she needed to relieve herself, he pushed aside the customers surrounding the stall.
She naturally wouldn't look for Aunt Zhou or Old Lady Bai, but went straight for the little goldfish.
The stall was quite long, with Aunt Zhou and Little Goldfish standing at opposite ends. There were many people in front of the stall, and everyone was busy attending to their own customers. Occasionally, they would cooperate, but they were all too busy to make a fuss, so Aunt Zhou's side wouldn't notice so quickly.
Granny Niu glared fiercely at the little goldfish. "Gu Jingzhe, where's your stepmother? Call her out. This old woman is going to have a good talk with her today."
The little goldfish had just handed two large duck eggs to the customer and was counting the coins when it heard a voice, looked up, and saw that it was Granny Niu. A hint of disgust flashed in its eyes.
This old woman and her daughter-in-law not only compete with her mother for business, but also caused trouble at the beach last time.
The little goldfish scoffed, "My mom's busy, she doesn't have time. If you have something to say, hurry up and say it, don't block our stall."
“Blocking someone’s path to wealth is tantamount to taking their life; you can’t afford to take that responsibility.”
Upon hearing his words, Granny Niu instantly flew into a rage and reached out to pinch his cheek. Little Goldfish nimbly dodged, his eyes fixed on her warily like a little wolf cub's. "What do you want to do?"
Granny Niu paused for a moment, then burst into a tirade, "You brat, who taught you to talk to your elders like that?"
"No doubt, it must be your stepmother."
"She looks like a vixen, she's definitely no good. Tell me, how do you plan to settle this matter of your family poaching our guests?"
"Who poached your customers?" What nonsense are you talking about? All the customers who come to their house are regulars, or new customers brought by regulars.
Has this old hag lost her mind?
The little goldfish kept a watchful eye on Granny Cow, constantly on guard against her going crazy at the stall.
"You have the nerve to act like shameless people. You're just like a widow's offspring, shameless and brazen."
Grandma Niu didn't think a little kid who hadn't even grown his first hair could handle her.
She already had a loud voice, and now that she was there to demand an explanation, she deliberately raised her voice, drawing the curious gazes of all the customers at the stall.
Aunt Zhou, Old Lady Bai, and Xu Gun'er also noticed something was wrong and came to the little goldfish's side.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Zhou quickly pulled the little goldfish, who was confronting Granny Niu, behind her and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
The little goldfish shook its head. "They're having a bad day in business, so they're coming after my mother!"
Aunt Zhou frowned. "Grandma Niu, you were already being unfair, and now you're taking advantage of Chang'er's absence to bully a child. What's going on here?"
In Granny Niu's eyes, the Zhou family's friendship with Lin Chang'er meant that they had broken ties with the Niu family.
She had no fear and immediately shouted, "I also want to ask you how you're going to settle the score for hiring people to poach our customers and ruin our business? You're the one who started the false accusation."
“Zhou Lanxiang, don’t think that just because your man is the village head, you can help Lin Chang’er suppress us poor folks.”
"A barefoot man has nothing to fear from a man in shoes. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered! If you really piss me off, we'll go to the county government and file a complaint against your husband, and get him removed from his position as village head."
"Hey..." Aunt Zhou was displeased, as if they were abusing their power for personal gain and oppressing them.
Normally, isn't the head of the household already taking good enough care of the Niu family?
If they hadn't been so short-sighted as to do something as shameless as poaching Chang's business, the relationship between the two families wouldn't have become so strained.
Chang'er said she wanted to find the patrol team, and they had also thought of Niu Ergen. Four nights plus a red envelope of 130 coins, plus supper, what a great job!
If they don't care about appearances when they do things themselves, how can they still have the nerve to eat Chang'er's food?
Aunt Zhou said, "You old hag, don't come here to act tough just because you're used to it, and then try to act like an old lady in front of me."
"What does it have to do with us if your customer runs away? Why are you nagging and making things difficult for our five-year-old child? Instead of wasting your time, why don't you think about whether there's something wrong with your own seafood?"
"Did you clean all the sand out of the clams? Did you weigh them properly? Are all the crab legs included? Don't blame others for every problem. You're just getting old, not smart. Go back and think about it carefully!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Of course, Granny Niu wouldn't, and couldn't possibly, admit that there was a problem with the quality of her seafood.
She pointed at Zhou Lanxiang, "You are the one. Your whole family is now dependent on the Gu family for support. You're biased and deliberately slandering us..."
Aunt Zhou: "..." What should I do? I think I should beat her up.
Aunt Zhou said, "Tsk tsk tsk, what are you saying? Chang'er has earned some money, and she happens to get along well with our family. What's wrong with her being willing to share some of her wealth so that our family can also enjoy a life of luxury?"
"I think you're just an old hag, jealous and envious. You have nowhere to vent your anger, so you're deliberately looking for trouble."
"Don't think you can run wild at her stall just because Chang'e isn't here today. I, Zhou Lanxiang, can still deal with you just the same."
"And there's me, Xu Gun'er!" Xu Gun'er stood with his hands on his hips beside Aunt Zhou, and the little goldfish also poked its teeth out from behind Aunt Zhou and bared at Granny Niu.
Granny Niu was furious. "Fine, fine, you're all ganging up on this old woman, aren't you? If our Niu family can't do this business, then their Gu family can't either."
As she spoke, Granny Niu's body went limp and she collapsed onto the stall.
She's trying to be unreasonable again, and this area is piled high with saltwater duck eggs. If she succeeds, the losses will be huge.
Aunt Zhou, Little Goldfish, Xu Gun'er, and Old Lady Bai were all on tenterhooks.
Just as she was about to fall onto the sea duck eggs, a foot suddenly shot out from the crowd, knocking her off balance in front of the stall, her body barely grazing the basket of sea duck eggs on her back.
Aunt Zhou: "..." Thank goodness, otherwise how would I explain this to Chang'er?
Just as she was about to thank the chivalrous man, she looked up and saw a familiar figure grabbing Granny Niu's hair bun at the back of her head and dragging her to the middle of the road.
Then she heard a familiar female voice in her ear, "You're taking advantage of my absence to bully my child, aren't you? It just so happens that I'm here. You filthy old hag, even God doesn't grant you your wish."
"So you're trying to sabotage my business because your own business is struggling? You should be glad you didn't crash my stall just now, otherwise, you wouldn't even have enough money to cover your losses from the past few days."
"If other people buy my seafood instead of yours, they'll immediately accuse us of poaching your customers. You've only been at the market for a few days, why would I bother poaching your customers?"
"I, Lin Chang'er, live an honest and upright life, and do things with integrity. Don't forget that my seafood is more expensive than yours! Even if customers aren't short of money, they'll still buy from me. Aren't you angry?"
