The sky was getting darker and darker, and Mrs. Zhao still hadn't gotten a grain of rice until now. She could only squat in front of a noodle soup shop hungrily.
She was waiting quietly. As long as a guest left, she could fill her stomach with the leftover leftovers.
However, for some reason today, the business in this shop was surprisingly poor. Until late in the evening, there was no business at all in the shop. For this reason, the shop owner only vented all his anger on Mrs. Zhao.
"You old pious woman, please stay away from me! You must have ruined my business."
Mrs. Zhao naturally refused to leave when she saw this, "Your business is bad because the taste of your food is getting worse and worse. It's none of my business if you are short of money and can't keep regular customers!"
When he heard this, the shop owner was just trying to drive him away, but now he was really angry.
"Damn old woman! I tried to persuade you to leave but you won't leave! Are you here to die? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shop owner waved his broom towards Mrs. Zhao in a threatening manner.
However, Mrs. Zhao seemed to have determined that the shop owner was just showing off. Seeing the shop owner threatening her with all his teeth and claws, Mrs. Zhao just looked at him indifferently.
The shop owner looked like a clown because of Mrs. Zhao's calmness! The shop owner originally just wanted to scare Mrs. Zhao, but now that he saw Mrs. Zhao acting like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, he felt a little angry, so he immediately wanted to kill Mrs. Zhao. .
Therefore, the broom that was originally raised high finally fell heavily. "You won't leave, right! Let's see if I don't beat you to death today!"
Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that the other party would actually dare to attack, so she immediately screamed in pain.
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! You are too cruel!" Mrs. Zhao screamed.
However, the shop owner ignored Mrs. Zhao's complaints. He just yelled angrily, "Go away or not! If you don't, I will beat you."
To be honest, the broom with bamboo branches is very painful when it hits someone.
Mrs. Zhao was beaten until she screamed, but no one on the street stopped for it. After all, there were too many beggars on the street. Do we really want to pity the poor ones?
And from the moment they become beggars, they have been isolated from normal people. People like this can be beaten to death. Anyway, they have no relatives and don't have to worry about anyone coming to trouble them.
But the people do not hold officials accountable.
So no one took action.
Mrs. Zhao was beaten around by the shopkeeper. However, just when the shopkeeper was about to hit Mrs. Zhao on the head with a broom, the broom in the shopkeeper's hand was suddenly grabbed.
When the shop owner saw this, he couldn't help but said angrily, "What do you want to do?"
Facing the shop owner's question, the man only said slowly, "Of course I'm here to save you!"
"You come to save me? I'm alive and well. Why do you want me to save you?" The shop owner asked angrily after hearing this.
After hearing this for a long time, the man said, "You are living well now, but you are about to be in trouble!"
Upon hearing this, the shop owner obviously didn't believe it.
He sneered, "I'm in great trouble. What kind of misfortune can happen to me?"
The woman then pointed at Mrs. Zhao and said, "If you beat this woman to death, you will be responsible. Do you think I was saving you?"
When the shop owner heard this, he just didn't take it seriously and said, "This kind of old woman has no relatives. If she is beaten to death, she will be beaten to death. What responsibility do I have to bear?"
When the woman heard this, she just whispered, "Who said she has no relatives!"
The shop owner sneered, "If she has relatives, can her family allow her to beg outside?"
The woman didn't speak for a moment after hearing this. She only whispered, "This woman is a resident of Yunyong Lane. Her husband and children are laborers on the dock, and her daughter works at the Zhu family! Although they can't control her, you can If you kill her and they show up, you will be in trouble!"
Hearing the woman's words, the shop owner couldn't help but said, "That's it."
However, how could her family let her be embarrassed outside? Little girl, please don’t lie to me! "
The store owner obviously didn't believe it, but some of the people who came around were obviously residents of Yunyong Lane. They quickly recognized Mrs. Zhao. Although they didn't know the current situation of Mrs. Zhao's house, they had already heard about Mrs. Zhao's personality. Therefore, at this time, some customers immediately tried to persuade the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you really can't offend this woman. This woman is a well-known and powerful boss. If you really want to be betrayed by their family, you will be in trouble!" "
After hearing what others said, the shopkeeper finally believed the woman's words, and he put down the broom in frustration.
Hearing what the man said, the shop owner couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was glad that he stopped in time. .
The woman seemed to have no intention of getting into trouble with the shop owner. After achieving her goal, she just said, "Can I take her away?"
The shop owner wished that the god of plague would leave quickly, so he just nodded immediately. After the woman and the shopkeeper reached an agreement, she couldn't help but take the initiative to say to Mrs. Zhao, "Mother-in-law, you are lucky to have met me today. I don't want to see the suffering of others, so please come with me!"
Mrs. Zhao only felt that the woman's voice was familiar, but when she looked carefully, she didn't know who the face was.
But from what she just said, it seemed like she was very familiar with things in her home.
After thinking about it, she just felt that this woman might have been arranged by her daughter.
Sure enough, this girl still can't bear to see her mother suffer! The old lady felt happy when she thought of this.
And she thought maybe this girl knew where her daughter was. If she could find her daughter through this girl, that would be a great thing.
Therefore, the mother-in-law could not help but whisper to the woman, "Are you familiar with my daughter?"
Upon hearing the other party's question, the woman only asked in confusion, "Who is your daughter?"
The mother-in-law was a little anxious for a moment, "Aren't you the one my daughter came here for? Please tell me where she is!"
When the woman heard this, she seemed to know that she couldn't hide it, so she just said coldly, "I don't know where she is. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. Also, this is the money she gave you. This is considered a gift." Your living expenses, I hope you won’t bother her again from now on.”
After saying this, the man dropped a bag of money. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao immediately took the bag of money. She only counted how much money was in the bag.
However, after discovering that there were only fifteen taels in the bag, Mrs. Zhao was obviously a little disappointed.
She had always thought that her daughter had lived a good life, but now she wanted to buy out her mother-daughter relationship with just fifteen taels of silver. She must be looking down on her too much.
Seeing that the other party only gave me this little, I immediately turned around and left.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but cursed fiercely, "Why do you give me so much? Don't leave! Doesn't she want to recognize me as a mother? I tell you, there is no way! You go back and tell her! Since I gave birth to her, then I am her mother! She has the right to raise me! If she doesn’t listen to me, I will take her to court!"
Hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, the woman's face showed a hint of impatience. No matter how she looked at it, Mrs. Zhao was still very annoying. She couldn't help but walked over and said coldly to Mrs. Zhao, "Jixiang told me, You are just her aunt, you have no blood relationship with her at all, and the money she gives you now is just to see who she was when you adopted her, even though you quickly changed hands on her."
"So if you don't want the money, you can return him to Jixiang. I can tell Jixiang your words truthfully, so that she can draw a line with you in time."
Upon hearing the woman's words, Mrs. Zhao immediately hid the fifteen taels of silver in her arms.
She wants this money, she also wants this good luck, so she immediately said, "Who said she is not my daughter! Who said I am her aunt! I tell you that I am her mother! Even if she doesn't admit it, she still has to admit it!" I have her birth certificate! You'd better ask her to come out quickly. Her mother and I are like this now, is it possible that she still wants to fool her? "
As soon as she heard Mrs. Zhao's words, the woman couldn't help but
He immediately shouted, "You're lying! You can't be her biological mother. How could she have a mother like you."
However, when faced with the woman's question, Mrs. Zhao said with certainty, "If you don't believe it! You can ask her to come back and see the birth certificate! If you don't believe it, she can go over and ask Mrs. Li who delivered her baby. Look what Mrs. Li said!" "
The woman had no time to distinguish these. She just shook her head and refused to admit it, "No! Impossible! You can't be my biological mother! My biological mother is my father's eldest sister."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao felt a little strange in her heart, and then she quickly discovered something unexpected.
This woman said that she came on behalf of Jixiang, but at this moment when she got excited, Jixiang became her own, so from hearing these words, she only felt that this woman was actually Jixiang in disguise.
Once this was determined, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but have more greed flashing in her eyes.
At that moment, she couldn't help but said fiercely, "What are you dreaming about? Your father's eldest sister gave birth to a boy! So your brother is the eldest sister's child! You are my daughter, good luck!"
After hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, Ji Xiang obviously couldn't accept it. She couldn't believe that Mrs. Zhao was really her mother.
She only subconsciously resisted and said, "You can't be my mother. Tiger poison doesn't eat its children. I am your biological daughter, but you sold me out without saying a word! In order to raise money for my elder brother to marry a wife, you just Asking me for money! You have also considered selling me a second time several times. What do you think I should think of you!"
After hearing Jixiang's accusation, Mrs. Zhao was also afraid that Jixiang would really deny her.
So she could only pretend to be pitiful immediately, "Jixiang, I can't help it! After I gave birth to you, my body was so injured that I couldn't give birth to a son. Your eldest brother is the child of your aunt and another man, and my mother had no choice at the time. ah."
