"I told you to be clumsy and you can't do any work well!" Although the shopkeeper suppressed his voice, Qin Xiangxiang also heard it.
It turns out that what Mu Ting said was wrong was not this.
But Mu Ting stopped in front of her and she couldn't see him.
That muffled sound just now was the woman being beaten, right? Qin Xiangxiang saw that the little lady was not allowed to be beaten, so he immediately jumped out from behind Mu Ting.
She had just taken a step when Mu Ting pushed her back: "Don't panic."
How could he be so cruel? That little lady was beaten! Qin Xiangxiang was so anxious that he wanted to take Mu Ting's hand away, but Mu Ting suddenly seemed to chuckle and suddenly pulled her in front of him.
It's so abominable, he always uses his physical advantage to... Wait, didn't his action just now look like he was teasing a cat?
Qin Xiangxiang just had this thought in his mind, but he felt a gust of wind passing by him. When he looked closely, he saw that Mu Ting was already in the foot shop.
The shopkeeper just now was so angry that he hit the young woman with a broom. The young woman was stupid and didn't hide at all. She just stood there and let her husband hit her.
When the shopkeeper was about to hit him a second time, Mu Ting grabbed the broom he was about to swing down.
"Why did you hit her?" Mu Ting asked coldly.
He was very strong, and the shopkeeper tried to pull the broom back, but he couldn't pull it back even half an inch.
The store owner was furious and scolded Mu Ting: "What does it have to do with you if I beat my mother-in-law?"
Mu Ting was about to speak when he saw Qin Xiangxiang walking into the store. He frowned and asked the store owner: "The noodle soup you make is so delicious, but why is your character so bad? It's okay to insult your wife, but why? Gotta hit her."
The store owner gritted his teeth and said, "You little lady, please don't meddle in other people's business. My wife, I'm not very smart. I will break so many things in the store in a month..."
"How can you be nosy?" Qin Xiangxiang interrupted him, "I don't want to see the little lady suffer. It doesn't matter if she breaks something. I think she looks pale, as if she is ill. If you don't invite her, As a medical worker, she is not in good health, so it will be difficult for her to work."
As soon as she said this, the young woman finally reacted. She quickly raised her head to look at Qin Xiangxiang, and then quickly lowered her head.
"Why didn't I hire a doctor for her? Since I picked her up from a mass grave outside the city last autumn, I have spent a lot of money on her. She is doing well, day by day, not breaking wood. Pot, it’s just that you can’t do good things in a hurry..." The store owner looked particularly angry.
Is there still such a thing? The store owner turned out to be a good person?
At this time, the young woman raised her head again, glanced at Qin Xiangxiang timidly, and nodded gently.
The shopkeeper continued: "I am not young anymore. I originally thought that I could pick up such a young lady as my wife in a mass grave and let her give birth to a boy and a half girl for me. Then I would be satisfied in this life. But who can imagine that? It cost a lot of money just to treat her. It has been almost a year, and she is almost in good health, but she has not even conceived a baby. No matter how good my noodle soup is, what will happen? I have no descendants. Inherit."
"But you can't beat her for this. You found her in a mass grave. She must have been very ill at that time, and then her family... gave up..." Qin Xiangxiang thought hard. Wording.
But the store owner interrupted her: "Little madam, my mother-in-law is not a native of Cangzhou. She fled from other places and fell into a mass grave by mistake. She still had many scars on her body at the time. She didn't look like she was there at that time. It was very serious, so I just picked her up. There were many people who fled with her in the mass grave at that time, but those people were not as lucky as her to be picked up by me."
"Is there such a thing?" Qin Xiangxiang couldn't help but ask, "Those people were still alive at that time?"
"I don't know. It seems that a few of them are still alive." The store owner frowned and recalled.
"You didn't report it to the government?" Qin Xiangxiang asked.
The store owner immediately said: "I reported it to the police, but I don't know whether the government dealt with it later. Madam, I still advise you not to interfere with my housework. I'm a bitch, my brain is good for a while, but I can't do it for a while. Confused. When she is confused, I can sober her up for a few days by giving her a good beating."
"How can it be considered a household chore? It's wrong for you to hit her. Didn't you say that it cost a lot of money to treat her? From now on, I will pay for her treatment."
The store owner's eyes widened. He first looked at Qin Xiangxiang like a fool, and then quickly looked at Qin Xiangxiang warily: "You are not from Cangzhou, right? What do you want to do? You are a little girl, why are you trying to steal my wife from me? ?" As he said this, he looked at Mu Ting strangely.
Is there something wrong with this store owner's mind? Does he think she wants to take a concubine for Mu Ting? Wait, this method is not impossible...but if you want to give him a concubine, you have to choose someone smarter.
"Ahem." Qin Xiangxiang came back to his senses, "Of course I have conditions. Didn't you say that your cooking skills have no successor? How about I be your apprentice?"
"Ah!" He didn't expect the store's reaction to be so big. He said viciously, "You cruel little lady, I'm only forty, and you cursed me to have no children! You, you, you, you are so cruel! Get out of here, get out of here!"
"Haha..." Qin Xiangxiang took two steps back guiltily, but was stopped by Mu Ting.
Mu Ting's eyebrows were cold: "If you hit your wife again, we will report her to the official."
"Ah! You still report to the official! I'm going to beat my wife, it's a matter of course, even the King of Heaven can't control me... Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!"
Mu Ting firmly grabbed one of the store's hands and said coldly: "Then give it a try. Can I take care of it?"
The store owner was obviously a bully. When Mu Ting caught him like this, he immediately lost his temper and said, "Sir, I was wrong. I will never hit my mother-in-law again."
Mu Ting let go of his hand, and the shopkeeper staggered before he could stand still.
The young woman wanted to help him, but he pushed her away.
Qin Xiangxiang said: "Well, I won't learn your craft, but I will still hire a doctor for your wife."
"No, no need." The young woman stammered at this time. She lowered her head and quickly glanced at Qin Xiangxiang, "Thank you."
The store owner also said quickly: "No need, my own mother-in-law, how can I not treat her? When I make money, I will buy her medicine."
"Okay." Qin Xiangxiang didn't insist anymore and winked at Mu Ting.
Mu Ting understood and warned the store owner: "If you beat your wife again and don't treat her, we will make you look good."
The store owner shook her head and agreed quickly: "I won't beat her again, and I will treat her."
After coming out of the foot shop, Qin Xiangxiang was obviously in a low mood and did not speak.
Mu Ting walked with her silently without saying a word.
In addition to various foot shops in the alley, there are also many young women carrying baskets selling home-made snacks to passers-by.
A woman saw Mu Ting and Qin Xiangxiang and came over quickly: "Mr. Lang, buy some snacks for the little lady."
"What are your snacks?" Mu Ting asked.
"Jujube mud cake!" the woman said enthusiastically, "Zate mud cake is the most famous snack in Cangzhou. It is fragrant and glutinous, and all the young ladies love it.
"I want all of this basket. I also want this basket." Mu Ting has always been very straightforward when shopping.
The woman was so happy that her face almost turned into a chrysanthemum. She had been selling snacks in the night market for a long time, and this was the first time she met such a generous customer.
Mu Ting happily paid for it, and just took the basket from the woman's hand, when suddenly many women came from all directions: "Mr. Lang, our jujube paste cake is also very good!"
Qin Xiangxiang was squeezed and staggered.
