There weren’t many customers in Jiu Si Xuan at the moment, just a few people having breakfast.
Carrying cold noodles, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng entered Jiu Si Xuan. Before they could see the Fat Chef, they were blocked by Zheng Xiu, who was standing at the door with an arrogant expression.
"Hey, ugly thing, I’m here to inform you, don’t bother coming to our restaurant to deliver things anymore!"
Zheng Xiu got straight to the point, leaving her words behind.
Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes dramatically.
Being called an ugly thing first thing in the morning.
Damn it, how was she ugly? She was clearly the beauty of Er Gui Village. Was this person blind?
Ignoring Zheng Xiu, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng continued to head inside.
This, however, infuriated Zheng Xiu.
"Are you so shameless? You can’t live without relying on men? First, you relied on Lu Yuanfeng, and now on our family’s restaurant. I’m telling you, I’ll leave it here today that I don’t want your cold noodles."
Zheng Xiu spoke without filtering her thoughts, saying whatever came to her mind.
But she completely angered Mu Shuangshuang.
"Are you blind or brainless? Don’t want my cold noodles? Who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to refuse? I have a contract with Jiu Si Xuan, it’s not up to an uneducated illiterate like you to decide!"
Mu Shuangshuang looked arrogant, as if mocking. This insufferable thing was acting all high and mighty, thinking she was some big deal just because she was an owner’s sister.
Joking aside, anything of mine, wherever I put it, would sell, not just to your place!
"You little bitch, you... you dare to scold me?" Zheng Xiu was furious, her face turning dark. Being the daughter of the County Magistrate, she was pampered from a young age, who dared to give her attitude?
"I’m not just going to scold you, I’m going to hit you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Shuangshuang rushed over and slapped Zheng Xiu twice.
"Slap~ Slap," two slaps, and Zheng Xiu’s face turned red.
Furious, she shouted at Mu Shuangshuang, "I’ll fight with you."
The two started grappling, pulling each other’s hair and pinching flesh. Zheng Xiu, after all, was too pampered, not a match for Mu Shuangshuang, getting beaten and crying out loud.
The whole restaurant staff were shocked.
Or rather, secretly delighted.
This Zheng Xiu was indeed too arrogant, demanding everyone to serve her when she came, complaining if food was late, even deducting wages.
Without kneeling for a greeting while serving, you’d be thrown out.
Zheng Xiu was just a pampered miss, only when the owner was around would she behave.
"Oh dear, what are you doing, don’t fight!" The Fat Chef came out from the kitchen, sweating in anxiety seeing this scene.
He remembered clearly that the owner was still upstairs.
At the moment, Zheng Zhi indeed was present, but he was just watching the spectacle.
His third sister really was used to being domineering; no one dared to provoke her from childhood to adulthood. Apart from his words, she wouldn’t listen to anyone else.
This time, a lesson wouldn’t hurt!
Lu Yuanfeng wanted to pull Shuangshuang away. Just as he approached, Shuangshuang stopped him.
"Fengzi, don’t come over. I’m settling accounts with this crazy woman today. I haven’t even settled the score for her ambush last time."
Mu Shuangshuang spoke loudly, and Zheng Zhi upstairs heard her words clearly.
He frowned and turned to ask his attendant.
"What’s this about what Miss Shuangshuang said, speak!"
Being the son of the County Magistrate, Zheng Zhi knew some things could be done, some could not.
There’s no wall that lets no wind through.
If Zheng Xiu indeed did something life-threatening, it wasn’t just her disgrace but Zheng Gang’s career on the line.
"Young master... young master, last time at the City God Temple, Miss humiliated Miss Shuangshuang, asked Young Master Lu Yuanfeng to leave Miss Shuangshuang, but was refused by Young Master Lu Yuanfeng. She had people ambush them outside the town, intending to take Miss Shuangshuang and Young Master Lu Yuanfeng’s lives!"
After the attendant finished speaking, Zheng Zhi’s face turned colder, originally planning to intervene when appropriate, but now it seemed unnecessary.
As long as she keeps a half-life!
No one stopped them, and Mu Shuangshuang fought even more viciously.
"Calling you a foul mouth, you young girl, so young, why imitate jealousy, learn to foul-mouth!"
"Weren’t you trying to kill me? Come on then?"
As she spoke, she dealt a few more slaps.
The customers in the restaurant were all driven out by the sharp-eyed Fat Chef.
No one dared to step forward and separate them because Mu Shuangshuang’s hands were tightly locking Zheng Xiu’s body, separating them might unwittingly hurt Zheng Xiu.
"Boo hoo..." Zheng Xiu was beaten to tears, her hair all over the floor, her eyes bloodshot, staring fixedly at Mu Shuangshuang.
"Tell me, you won’t make trouble for anyone in the future, be a good person!" Mu Shuangshuang pinched Zheng Xiu’s chin, speaking fiercely.
Zheng Xiu wouldn’t comply, the pain is already here, at most she’d be beaten to death!
"Not saying? I’ll slash your face today."
Just as Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, Lu Yuanfeng somehow found a kitchen knife and handed it to Mu Shuangshuang.
It was a slaughtering knife used for deboning.
Upstairs, Zheng Zhi’s attendant was almost scared out of his mind.
"Young master, young master, they..."
Zheng Zhi’s heart also tightened. Disciplining his sister was one thing, being disfigured was not what he wanted.
But in his heart, a voice told him to wait, just wait!
Mu Shuangshuang approached Zheng Xiu with the big knife.
"Will you talk or not?"
The blade touched Zheng Xiu’s face, and she even smelled the rust and pork odor on the knife.
"Boo hoo, you bastard..." Zheng Xiu cried and cursed.
"Then let this bastard teach you what it means to be a human," Mu Shuangshuang said as she raised the knife, posing to take action.
Zheng Xiu cried uncontrollably, she’d never seen such a gangster attitude in her life: beat if you can’t win an argument, and even slash her face after beating.
"Boo hoo hoo... I was wrong, I won’t... I won’t trouble people anymore." Zheng Xiu cried almost out of breath.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t see the intent to kill or hate in her eyes ╭(╯^╰)╮
She must be genuinely afraid.
She moved the knife back a little, still fierce, "Tell me, will you pester Fengzi when you see him?"
Zheng Xiu originally didn’t like Lu Yuanfeng. She followed him around just because he was indifferent to her, and she wanted to prove her charm.
"I won’t..."
Zheng Xiu cried sorrowfully, and having received the answer she wanted, Mu Shuangshuang tossed the big knife aside.
But she didn’t strut off; instead, she picked up Zheng Xiu.
Speaking earnestly, "You’re very beautiful, in Qingshan Town, even in the county, you’re a top-notch beauty. Most people will be enamored with you."
"But you must understand, life is about more than these; there are other things. For poor people, eating is the top priority. We poor folks, living step by step with our own efforts, is already not easy. Why would you deprive us of our right to survive?"
