Chapter 84:
At that time, Gou Sheng’s Mother saw Zhou Shi being dragged inside by Shopkeeper Zhu calling for people.
Those people were all fierce-looking, scaring her into turning around and running away!
She ran all the way without daring to stop, not knowing how long she ran, anyway her face was like it had been poured with water.
Finally, she ran into the endless crowd at the marketplace and blended in…
Looking back, no one was following, so she finally relaxed!
Muttering,
“This death-seeking Zhou Meizhen, who knows how she offended Yumian Tower, almost got me killed!”
“Phew!”
Her eyes darted around, something’s wrong, she didn’t seem to recognize those people inside…
No way she got caught, right?
Or maybe they caused a disturbance just now, affecting their business, so they were caught and locked up for a beating as discipline?
Still shaken, she patted her chest, luckily she ran fast, or she would have almost been caught too!
Yumian Tower can do business in town, the boss behind such a big restaurant must have backing from big shots, who doesn’t he know?
Just casually greeting that official master, maybe find a charge and throw you in a prison cell!
Too scary!
She thought she could get some revenue again, but now she decided, in the future, when seeing Zhou Shi, stay far away!
This woman is a jinx!
“Stop! You stinky woman! What are you running here for?”
“Ah!”
Ju Hua Shen was stunned! Scared her heart pounding, neck shrinking!
Back soaked in sweat, where did this man come from shouting her!
It must not be calling her! “No, gotta slip away quick!”
“Hey, what are you doing? I’m talking about you!”
Ju Hua turned to run, but was grabbed from behind by her clothes and dragged back spinning…
“Spare me! Old man, I won’t dare again!” Scared her into closing her eyes and bowing repeatedly begging for mercy…
“You dumb woman, who’s your old man? I’m asking what you’re doing? Sneaking around running what for?”
A familiar scolding tone and voice rang in her ear.
“Don’t you know your man’s leg is inconvenient? On purpose, huh?”
This stinky woman, doesn’t care at all for her man, enduring pain to chase you, limping how painful?
Ju Hua Shen opened her eyes and saw it was the lame Li Ergou! The heart she lifted instantly dropped most of the way.
“Oh, Gou Sheng’s father! It’s you?”
Li Ergou saw her coward look, got angry, spat at her,
“Huh? Not me, who else?”
Looking at her suspiciously, could this woman have been running wild in town lately, despising he’s lame, gave him a green hat?
Li Ergou’s eyes bulged bull-like, face darkened, clenched his fist…
His skinny little body looked quite fierce, determined to give her a lesson…
“Ah! No, no, his father what are you thinking?”
Oh no, this Li Ergou since his leg went lame always doubts, says she has a man!
“Hmph!”
Li Ergou nostrils up, snorted a breath!
Ju Hua Shen slyly quick to change topic, or she’d get beaten again, anxiously said,
“Right, his father, how’s that matter?”
“Shh!” Li Ergou put a finger to lips!
Quick sneaky glance around, “Sold! Don’t worry!”
Ju Hua Shen’s face lit up.
“Hehe, just wait to enjoy with me! Eat good drink spicy, how’s that? Following me Er Gouzi didn’t treat you bad, right?”
“No such thing!”
Ju Hua Shen twisted shyly, rare blush on her face…
The couple came to town today to handle the remaining bear meat.
Yesterday sold several big paws and better meat!
Still some left at home!
Today specially took Zhao Maogen’s ox cart, didn’t expect to run into Zhou Meizhen!
Scared them into hiding nonstop…
Luckily they covered the bamboo basket with layer after layer of things in the morning, then a bamboo sieve on top, him guarding it inch by inch on the ox cart without suspicion…
Ju Hua Shen following Zhou Shi, one was Gou Sheng told her to follow to avoid suspicion of discovery, another to see her going to Yumian Tower hugging that jar not knowing what for?
“How was it? Anything odd about her jar?” Li Ergou asked.
“Don’t know what weird thing, kinda like lard, tastes weird, not very good!”
Li Ergou thought deeply for a moment, said,
“Then what’d she go to Yumian Tower for?”
“Don’t mention it! That Zhou Meizhen almost got me killed, greedy mouth not like her type, stood outside Yumian Tower too scared to go in just smelling the taste!”
“No way? She inquired about Yumian Tower just greedy?”
“Yeah! Stood long time, no money, didn’t dare go in!”
“Head of house, you say that Li Depei works from dawn to dusk, how come won’t treat his wife to a good meal?”
“Hahaha! You think everyone like me so generous? Come, today I’ll take you to Hongyun Tower to show off!”
“Really?”
Ju Hua Shen full of longing…
“You dumb woman, let’s go!”
“Okay!”
The two strutted to Hongyun Tower and gorged, ordering the waiter around in circles…
…
Luo Zhi’er just home, not yet to the yard, drooping-headed Zhou Shi instantly revived full blood, became spirited!
Yelled rushing up, scaring Miaomiao to hurriedly hide behind her!
“Mom, grandma so scary!”
Luo Zhi’er patted her head!
Xiao Zhou Shi low-headed watering the garden plot nearby, knew there was a show…
Zhou Shi running and cursing:
“You fat hoof, all day just lazy wandering, waved outside one day, played enough?”
“The work old lady arranged for you this morning done? Only now slowly come back dead to me! How dare you?”
Luo Zhi’er thought she was dying struggling!
Person ran close, rolled up sleeve to slap her!
Zhou Shi scheming!
This Luo Zhi’er she must control her, earns silver but not obedient, make her know fear…
Who knew not close yet, Luo Zhi’er lifted a foot kicking her flying several meters, slammed to ground.
Like a broken rag stuck to ground, stunned half day no recovery!
Xiao Zhou Shi eyes wide, what just happened?
“You… you dare kick me?”
Crawled half day, finally sat up.
Zhou Shi rubbed waist and butt incredulously looking at her…
Luo Zhi’er eyes cold cold, could freeze people…
“Heaven! What sin did I commit? Why lightning not strike dead this lazy glutton sneaky violent fat thing!”
“My home to be eaten empty by her, I’m to be beaten dead by her! I Zhou Meizhen not living anymore!”
Reacted, started yelling…
“Ow ow ow!”
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Zhao Xiaomei ran out immediately!
Zhou Shi couldn’t care less!
“Big trouble! Everyone come see, this young wife beating mother-in-law…”
“Lazy till dark to come home I can’t say a word?”
“I can’t live! Help! His father, why not back to save me!”
Zhou Shi started wailing rolling on ground throwing tantrum, performing acrobatics…
“Aiya, mom, why you crazy sudden run so fast for?”
“I climbed uphill road all day, just now leg cramped, wanted to lift leg, who knew you like arrow rushed over and bumped!”
“What? You… you just lifted leg?”
Extra shrill piercing…
Luo Zhi’er nodded dumbly: “Right!”
Onlooker neighbors chattering, “Thought her family daughter-in-law finally toughened up, dared beat her to vent!”
“Turns out accidental!”
“Hehe, you really wanna encourage wife beating mother-in-law?”
“Tch! Joking!”
Li Erdan’s wife quick to interrupt randomly…
Luo Zhi’er with bamboo basket weighing her bent, walked over, reached hand to pull her up!
“Get up quick, mom, ground cold, I’ll pull you!”
“Uh… what?” Zhou Shi dumbfounded!
“Mom, what with you! Where got bullied, come back pick on me to vent?”
Tone warm soft, “Don’t make trouble for me anymore! I ran all day no bite of food, you not up, I’ll go put bamboo basket, so heavy!”
Zhou Shi racked brains half day, felt like fist to cotton, instantly angry to suffocate!
Hair disheveled, spirit wilted, like suffered huge setback. “Mom, what exactly wrong?”
“You fat hoof, playing dumb poisoning old lady secretly!”
“Mom, can’t talk nonsense, I Luo Zhi’er upright not fear shadow, just now really leg cramp, don’t believe, you try climbing mountain before dawn…”
“Who told you climb mountain? Old lady told you wash clothes bedding, water garden plot, sweep chicken shit… you did?”
Mainly she came back anxious couldn’t find person, waited long, panicked, vented all on Luo Zhi’er late return not obeying!
“Mom, these chores create income? I go mountain for livelihood, not for this home?”
Zhao Xiaomei ran roadside whispering with villagers!
Zhou Shi thought a million times, didn’t expect her not admit, but doesn’t seem playing dumb!
Looked at surrounding neighbors…
Eyes darted, forget it, business first, one flip jumped up, followed her behind…
Voice smaller,
“Luo Fatty, old lady not settle true false with you now, don’t dawdle, quick run to backyard kitchen, remake one jar this termite mushroom oil!”
Far couldn’t hear, but her ears still filled with shrill piercing voice, stung ears hurt, she dug ear.
“Remake? Why? Picking mushrooms takes time effort no?”
Tone turned cold.
She knew today delivery some hiccup, but… remake what situation?
Luo Zhi’er unhurried carried bamboo basket to backyard, put against wall.
Zhou Shi followed tight, all way nagging directing.
Li Zhenzhu dressed pretty, came out main hall, saw her mom like playing lute to cow, gave Luo Zhi’er a white eye.
“Mom, I told you, she’s getting more arrogant! Not taking us seriously!”
“You gotta give her a lesson to know who’s boss…!”
Zhou Shi saw her dolled up, suddenly angry, thought of today’s encounter!
And just now fell ground, this daughter didn’t come help her…
“Shut up, go aside!”
“What? Mom… you, you now also…”
“Causing trouble!”
Incredulous… Zhenzhu covered mouth sobbing crying!
Turned ran into her room!
“Dead girl, just know cry!”
Xiao Zhou Shi irrigating garden plot outside yard, just now Zhou Shi fell she didn’t help, whoever suffers she felt relieved, now saw Zhenzhu cry sad, corner of mouth cold smile!
In Li Zhenzhu’s view, Zhou Shi rarely yelled at her like this.
She actually bad attitude yelled at her, this Zhenzhu really didn’t expect, where suffered such treatment?
Afternoon back, told mom Xiao Zhou Shi quarreled with her, fighting for food, thought mom would scold Xiao Zhou Shi!
Didn’t expect no reaction!
This time even fierce her, could she also no hope for her, changed attitude, felt her no big use.
Heart quite anxious, scared!
Luo Zhi’er put down bamboo basket, scooped water, washed hands, washed Miaomiao’s face!
“You still in mood wash hands? Quick make for me!”
Luo Zhi’er took handkerchief wiped Miaomiao’s face, “Why should I remake? Feelings picking mushrooms no effort?”
“I picked two days termite mushrooms, yesterday boiled half night just finished, you say remake then remake?”
Zhou Shi anxious twitching, this dead fatty kicked her didn’t say what, now how picky temper?
