The girl who wears fast

Chapter 324 I heard that I am the best (11)

After Li Wei left, Zhou Shichu’s life was no different from before. He still sold buns with Aunt Qian and Zhou Shiwan every day to earn money, but Li Ji was different. Without his own father who would strictly control him, he wanted to fly away. The bird out of the cage almost gets carried away from playing every day, so it is impossible to go to school, and the daily boxing exercises have also stopped, and it will only make trouble with a group of cronies, teasing chickens and dogs, and the nearby neighbors hate them to death.

It was only because Li Wei was not at home, and Zhou Shichu was not a fuel-efficient lamp, that he didn't complain at home. Zhou Shichu originally warned Li Ji to let him go to school because of Li Wei's words, but Li Ji's temperament has long been fixed. It was impossible to listen to her, so I just ignored her warnings and continued playing around every day.

Seeing this, Zhou Shichu immediately stopped thinking. She didn't come to be a good stepmother, and Li Ji was not her son.

Now Zhou Shichu's steamed stuffed buns have gained a reputation. Every day, there are many regular customers waiting in line at the place where she set up a stall.

That day, when Zhou Shichu was busy paying the bill and looking for money, he suddenly heard a soft and shocked voice shouting: "Mrs. Li! You are actually selling buns here?"

Zhou Shichu didn't realize that he was calling "Mrs. Li" at first, but the female voice behind him called out a few more times, and with the addition of "selling buns", Zhou Shichu realized that the person was calling her.

When she heard the reputation, she immediately raised her eyebrows. Isn't this woman with several servants, dressed in extraordinary clothes and beautiful appearance, the wife of Mu Yunchao, Liu Yan?
"Mrs. Mu, are you out for a private visit again? Do you want to try the buns I sell? The skin is thin and the filling is rich, the soup is delicious and salty, absolutely delicious, you won't regret it if you try it..." Zhou Shichu didn't seem to see her With an expression of disbelief, he greeted enthusiastically.

"No, no, the concubine came out after having breakfast. Mrs. Li, why are you selling buns here? This doesn't suit your identity, does it?" Liu Yan's expressions of shock, disbelief, and disapproval alternated. , which made Zhou Shichu amused for a while, this lady just cared too much about her status.

"Why doesn't it fit? I was born as a peasant girl and married a rough warrior. Isn't it normal to sell steamed buns on the street?" Zhou Shichu said this deliberately, and Liu Yan's face suddenly changed unpredictablely. said disapprovingly:

"Mrs. Li, how can you say that? Li Wei Li is already a school lieutenant, you can be regarded as an official. As his wife, you should also maintain his dignity and don't do things that make him lose face." Yes."

The implication is that Zhou Shichu lost Li Wei's face by selling buns.

The smile on Zhou Shichu's face disappeared immediately. People like Liu Yan are the most hypocritical. Li Wei, the person involved, has no objection to Zhou Shichu's sale of buns, but she is an outsider who came to point fingers. Li Wei is her husband's. Subordinate, but Zhou Shichu is not Liu Yan's slave, what qualifications does she have to tell Zhou Shichu what to do and what not to do?
So Zhou Shichu turned cold and said, "Mrs. Mu, you mean that if I sell buns, I will lose Li Wei's face? I started selling buns when Li Wei was at home, and he didn't object. Now, Mrs. Mu, you are an outsider. But you come to tell me that you can’t sell buns? I’m not your servant, and Li Wei is just your husband’s subordinate, not yours, right? What right do you have to come to me and criticize me? It’s because you can Is it because of the pillow wind blowing around Lord Wei?"

"You, you vulgar woman!" Liu Yan was immediately ashamed and angry when she heard Zhou Shichu's words. Zhou Shichu's words didn't give her any face at all, and the last sentence was no less than humiliating her, so Liu Yan Yan Sha was so annoyed that her face was about to smoke, she wished there was a crack in the ground for her to get in, so she wouldn't have to face the scene at this time.

The customers queuing up to buy steamed stuffed buns all heard what they said, and when they heard Liu Yan say that selling steamed stuffed buns in Zhou Shichu was a disgraceful thing, they immediately became unhappy:

"Madam, don't you care too much? The buns made by Mrs. Zhou are so delicious, wouldn't it be a pity not to sell them? Don't make us lose this good fortune!"

"That's right! You look so delicate and weak, but I didn't expect you to be like a meddling mother-in-law. You are too domineering!"

"Go away, you woman, don't leave us with no buns to eat!"

"It sounds like she's the female family member of Mrs. Zhou's boss? Mrs. Zhou pissed her off. Wouldn't she wear shoes for Mrs. Zhou's husband?"

"It's hard to say, she is such a face-saving person, if she is swept away, can she come back without revenge?"

"Tsk tsk, there is no future for being an official these days. Maybe one day the rebel army will come, and the official will be the first to die... Hey, Mrs. Zhou, why don't you just ask your husband to resign from the official position?" Come on! I can live a good life by selling steamed buns with you."

"That's right, seeing this woman is so nosy, it must be hard work being her husband's subordinate!"

……

Liu Yan listened to the comments of the people around her, and all the words were as sharp as a knife, piercing her heart fiercely, which almost made her faint with shame and anger.

But she finally withstood it, was supported by the maid, and with tears in her eyes, she said to Zhou Shichu indignantly: "I just kindly advised you to think more about Captain Li, but I didn't expect you to take my kindness as a lie." Donkey liver and lung, it’s fine if you don’t appreciate it, and you still incite so many people to criticize me, you, you really are a rotten tree! It’s really bad luck for Lieutenant Li to marry you.”

This kind of person who forces others to do things according to her wishes in the name of "for your own good" is nothing more than hypocritical kindness. If it is really good for others, isn't it respecting other people's wishes?
So Zhou Shichu said mockingly: "Madam Mu is really doing it for my own good, is it for Li Wei?"

"Of course! If you weren't Li Wei's wife, I wouldn't bother to care if you sold buns or not." Liu Yan said immediately, with firm eyes to show that she had no selfish intentions.

"Hey!" Zhou Shichu immediately turned into a circus, and acted, "Mrs. Mu, you don't know. In fact, I don't want to work hard every day to sell buns. Do you think selling buns is easy? No, it's actually very hard. Every day My hands are almost swollen from kneading the dough, my waist is so tired from making buns, and I’m sweating profusely from steaming... If it’s not for subsidizing the family, who would want to work so hard?”

"That's right, that's right, making steamed stuffed buns is hard work." Another aunt who lined up to buy steamed stuffed buns nodded in agreement.

"Mrs. Mu, you think my actions are embarrassing to Li Wei. I know this myself, but I have to do it. If I don't do it, Li Wei's monthly salary alone will not be able to support our family at all. what."
