My Kid Can Read Minds, and Now the Evil Stepmom's in My Grip

Top assassin Jiang Xueying suddenly finds herself transported into another world, becoming the infamous "evil stepmother" to two children. Jiang Xueying, who has been single her whole life,...

Chapter 21 Someone is looking for trouble

Although they didn't buy chickens from the chicken farm, fortunately at least their family raised a few. Jiang Xueying could only kill two more and prepare to make braised chicken.

There are many tips to make delicious braised chicken, and it is more troublesome to handle. The cleaned chicken must be soaked in salt water for an incense stick of time, then boiled in cold water, and taken out after about a cup of tea, and then stewed for another half an hour with marinade.

In her previous life, Jiang Xueying loved food, and she developed all kinds of seasonings by herself. With the addition of special marinade, the braised chicken is sweet, spicy and refreshing, the meat is not dry, and the chicken skin is crispy and chewy, suitable for both young and old.

The two children also loved the braised chicken and ate two big bowls of it with rice.

"Mom, this chicken is so delicious, I'm sure a lot of people like it!"

Jiang Xueying looked at them with a doting smile and continued to pack up the things in her hands. She naturally knew that the braised chicken she made was a good seller, but now that she had no raw materials, she would not be able to make it even if it was a good seller.

Unable to make braised chicken, Jiang Xueying could only make some more French fries, and took Ye Xiaoyu to the town early the next morning.

When they arrived, someone had already set up their stall where they usually used to set up their goods, and even several stalls around them were occupied.

Jiang Xueying ignored her and just looked for a place to set up her stall.

"Mom, why are they taking up our space?"

Ye Xiaoyu secretly looked at the two people setting up the stall, with some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"It's okay. There's no name on this place. People can put it wherever they want. We don't care about them!"

It doesn't matter where the items are placed, Jiang Xueying doesn't care at all. She just puts everything in order and puts them on the table. If she is not allowed to sell braised chicken, she will continue selling French fries.

"Hey, do you know that there's a French fry shop at the corner of the street? They taste great. Have you tried them?"

A man in short cloth clothes was talking with a smile about the new things that had appeared in the town recently.

"Really? I just came back these two days and haven't heard about it yet!"

Next to him stood a somewhat obese man, who swallowed hard when he heard what he said. The most important thing in his life was eating, so whenever someone had something new, he would go and try it. Is there any place in the city that sells food that he has not tried?

"I went out for business these days, and I didn't know there was such a new food in the city! No, no, I won't go with you to drink, I have to go try the French fries you mentioned!"

"Hey, now that you mention it, I'm a little greedy too. Anyway, it's still early, I'll go with you."

After saying that, the two of them walked away together with a smile.

Zhang Erhu, who was huddled in the corner, heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but swallow hard. He hadn't eaten for two days and was so hungry that he could even swallow a cow in one gulp.

His feet followed the two men as if possessed by a ghost. He thought he could take the opportunity to order some food or fish in troubled waters, until he walked to the stall the two men mentioned and saw the person selling things. His pupils suddenly shrank.

“It’s actually her!”

Looking at Jiang Xueying and Ye Xiaoyu who were busy and happy, Zhang Erhu was so angry that his teeth were itching. He remembered that he was forced to leave the village by Jiang Xueying. Originally, he wanted to do some business in the town, but he didn't expect to be cheated out of all his money and couldn't even fill his stomach. It was all because of that woman Jiang Xueying.

Why is it that Jiang Xueying, that bitch, is living a prosperous life and even doing business in the town, while he can't even have a hot meal, and why is he so willing to accept this?

Thinking of the hardships he had endured these days, Zhang Erhu's heart suddenly burned with anger. He couldn't swallow this!

He took a deep breath of the aroma of French fries, and his eyes rolled around.

"Ouch! You vicious woman, what did you cook? It made my stomach hurt so much after eating it!"

Zhang Erhu, with a sallow complexion, covered his stomach and walked tremblingly to Jiang Xueying's stall. He pointed at Jiang Xueying and started scolding her, saying that the French fries she made were not clean.

Because it was a busy city, more and more people came to watch after hearing the noise.

"What? This store is so shady? Fortunately I didn't buy their French fries before."

An old lady patted her chest thankfully, with a flash of contempt in her eyes.

"Oh, who says it's not true? Besides, her fries are too expensive! I don't know what they are made of. They don't look worth the price. It turns out that she is making money by cheating!"

Hearing the accusations around him, Zhang Erhu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth with some complacency, thinking that as long as he ruined Jiang Xueying's reputation, he would see if she would still be able to sell her things in the future.

The next moment, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Xueying's gloomy eyes looking at him, and the corners of his mouth that had just raised were suppressed again. Jiang Xueying must have left a deep impression on him at the beginning, otherwise he would not have left the village.

However, he has nothing now anyway, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, so naturally he cannot let Jiang Xueying, a woman, have an easy time.

"Is that you?"

Seeing that it was her old acquaintance Zhang Erhu, Jiang Xueying couldn't help but sneer. She was wondering who was making a scene, and it turned out to be the scoundrel Zhang Erhu. It seemed that the lesson she gave him last time was not enough!

"Of course it was me. I bought a portion of French fries from you yesterday. After eating them, my stomach hurt so much that I couldn't sleep at night. Why don't you give me an explanation? What harmful thing did you put in it?"

Although he was afraid, the show had to go on, so Zhang Erhu could only pretend to be a victim, holding his stomach tightly. With his pale face, he really looked like he had a stomach upset.

"Oh, look at how pale he is! It's so scary!"

An old lady carrying vegetables took a quick look and hurried away.

The onlookers were stunned and took a few steps back at the same time, fearing that they would be infected.

Seeing Zhang Erhu, who was obviously talking nonsense, Jiang Xueying couldn't help but feel depressed. Was he relying on her? Wasn't the lesson she gave him a few days ago enough?

Or...did the teacher who was targeting her deliberately let him come to cause trouble?

"Haha, you said you ate my fries, so you ate my fries? That's just empty talk. What evidence do you have to prove that eating my fries caused your stomachache?"

Jiang Xueying couldn't help but sneer. She hadn't seen Zhang Erhu for a long time. He looked like a refugee. How could he have bought her French fries? Probably he had never even eaten them.

Zhang Erhu was very pleased with himself. What evidence did he need to discredit her French fries? With just a few words from him, Jiang Xueying's hard-earned reputation was ruined. After all, eating was the most difficult thing to explain.

"Girl, I think you should just pay the man some medical expenses and let this matter be over."
