When Lin Minjun walked over, people in the alley were still discussing things lively, so she quickened her pace and walked forward.
The people next to them were still talking about Aunt Xia and Grandpa Cao. "Old Xia usually looks serious, but have you forgotten that Grandpa Cao often goes to her house? If there is nothing wrong, why would he always go to the widow's house?"
Another mother slapped her thigh and said, "But I passed by once and saw them talking with the door open. I didn't do anything."
"Silly girl, what am I really doing that you can see?"
As the debate went on, some people thought the two were indeed having an affair, while others thought it was nonsense.
Just as Lin Minjun was about to pass by, someone suddenly said, "Isn't that Xiao Lin? He is from their yard, he must know more than us, why don't we just go and ask him."
As he said that, he came to pull Lin Minjun.
At this moment, Lin Minjun was still thinking about Zhao's father's affairs. She was not interested in these romantic news at all and immediately declined: "I'm sorry, Auntie. I'm usually busy with business and don't stay in the yard very often. I don't know as much as you do about these things."
The aunts became embarrassed and stopped pulling her.
Lin Minjun continued to work on opening the shop. At this time, the decoration had been completed and she only had to wait for the carpenter to fix the tables, chairs and benches and for the cement to dry completely.
As for the decoration of the store, we originally planned to put the sink and cooking area at the door, but we found that it was not feasible after we actually started.
One reason is that these things are placed at the door of the room and cannot be moved back after dark, so they can easily be stolen or damaged.
Secondly, it was windy in the north city, and if she cooked at the door, it would be easy for dirty things to fall into the room. When she was cooking for guests at the door, it would be very disgusting if someone saw a small insect or a leaf fall into the room.
After much thought, Lin Minjun asked them to build a sink for her inside the store and cook there.
She also asked the village party secretary to bring people to build a wall in the middle of the house, painted it all white, opened a hole in the middle of the wall, installed a large glass window, and placed a door next to it.
The eaves are also extended one meter to block the rain.
In this way, customers can sit in the store without being exposed to wind or rain, and can also see the production process inside through the glass windows, so they can feel absolutely at ease.
When the window was installed, the village party secretary exclaimed, "Comrade Xiaolin, I have only seen this kind of glass window in state-owned hotels. With your window, it is bright outside and inside. This restaurant is clean and hygienic when you look in from the outside. I will bring my family here to eat when I have time. We can't afford to go to state-owned hotels, but we can always come to your restaurant, right?"
"Of course, you're welcome. I'll decorate it for you later." Lin Minjun said with a smile.
The decoration of the store was completed in a busy manner. Now we just need to wait for the walls to dry, the carpenter to fix the tables, chairs and benches, and the water and electricity to be installed before we can open for business.
While waiting for the store to open, Lin Minjun was not idle. She still went to Xiushui East Street to set up a stall every afternoon. While setting up the stall, she told her customers that she was going to open a store and gave them the address of the new store.
Everyone congratulated her after hearing this, and many people said, "It's not easy! It's really not easy for a woman to achieve this and now open her own store!"
"It tastes good. I've been eating fried potatoes for months and never get tired of them. I come here every three or five days. Comrade Xiaolin, when will your new store open? I must go and show my support."
Lin Minjun smiled and said, "Welcome. The opening time is not certain yet, but it won't be too soon."
After a few days, regular customers knew that a new store was about to open and they could continue to eat fried potatoes there.
At this time, Lin Minjun had no time to care about the news about Mr. Cao and Mrs. Xia, and naturally she had no idea how the rumor had spread.
After setting up the stall, Lin Minjun went to check the store as usual, opened the door and windows, ventilated the front and back, and tidied up a bit. She estimated that the store would be open for business in three or four days.
Lin Minjun was in a good mood when she went home. She saw Erwa at the entrance of the alley and asked with a smile, "Erwa, what are you doing squatting here?"
Erwa raised his head, and when he saw Lin Minjun, his eyes lit up. He immediately waved and said, "Sister, hurry up and ride in and park your car on the side of the road."
Lin Minjun didn't understand what he was going to do, so she got off the tricycle, locked it as he said, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'll take you to see something exciting." Erwa said mysteriously. He pulled Lin Minjun and walked into the yard. After entering the door, he did not stop and continued to pass through the hanging flower gate.
At this time, Lin Minjun guessed that someone in the yard was making a fuss, but she was not interested. Her mind was full of things to do with the store. "Er Wa, I don't want to go. You can go and see it by yourself."
"Oh! Such bustle and excitement is quite rare. You may not be able to see it in the future. Come on, let me take you to see it. I'm waiting for you at the door." Erwa still didn't let go and pulled Lin Minjun to continue walking inside.
It has been several days since his brother came back. The kid has visibly become more upright. He is no longer scared at the slightest provocation like before, and he is still trying hard to protect Lin Minjun.
Erwa has changed now. He has become more like a child. He can act coquettishly and laugh. Lin Minjun is very happy.
Since Erwa said so, Lin Minjun didn't want to disappoint his kindness, so she followed him in, asking on the way, "What's going on? What's all the fuss about?"
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the second courtyard. Many people had already gathered in the courtyard, all looking towards the door of Master Cao's house.
Erwa said, "It's Aunt Cao and Aunt Xia who are fighting. Don't you think it's lively? Let's go in and take a look."
Lin Minjun was stunned when she heard this, and was pulled by Erwa into the crowd and walked to the innermost part.
When she looked over, she saw that they were indeed fighting, and it was very fierce!
Erwa was not the only one watching the excitement. Lin Minjun looked around and found that Yan Lige was also there. It turned out that a guy like him also liked to watch the excitement?
Lin Minjun found it both funny and surprising.
Just as I was about to say hello, before I opened my mouth, my attention was suddenly attracted by Aunt Cao.
Aunt Cao grabbed Aunt Xia by the collar, her eyes were particularly fierce, and she yelled, "You shameless widow, your husband is dead and you come to seduce my man, do you have any shame? I ask you, do you have any shame?"
Hey guys, are we starting to fight now?
Aunt Xia had a sullen face and said nothing. She was a staff member of the street office. The other women in the yard either worked in factories or were unemployed vagrants. She was the one with the best job among them, so of course she felt that she was superior to others.
So Aunt Xia glared at Aunt Cao fiercely and said, "Wu Xiuhua, stop talking nonsense and let me go!"
"You, a stealing slut, how dare you glare at me? Do you have the nerve? Why should I let you go? Not only will I not let you go today, I will also beat you to death. Do you have any shame? Do you have any shame?" Aunt Cao was simply mad, especially when she felt that Aunt Xia looked down on her, she was so angry that her mind was dizzy!
This bitch seduced her man, why does he still look down on her? Why? !
For a moment, Aunt Cao was so angry that her mind was confused. She raised her hand and slapped Aunt Xia. The sound was very crisp and echoed throughout the yard.
Everyone was so frightened that they collectively screamed and were all dumbfounded.
Aunt Cao felt even angrier and more ashamed. She blamed all her anger on Aunt Xia and raised her hand, ready to slap her again!
While beating her, she cursed: "You shameless old bitch, you want to mess up other people's families when your own husband is gone. I used to think you were a good person, and I told you all the best from my heart. Do you think you are worthy of me? How can you be so shameless! You bitch!"
When she was angry, she said all kinds of dirty words, some of which were simply unbearable to hear. Lin Minjun quickly covered Erwa's ears. The boy even shook his head and tried to eavesdrop, so Lin Minjun pointed at his nose and signaled him not to move.
Over there, Aunt Cao was getting more and more excited, staring at Aunt Xia with a particularly fierce look, as if she had seen the murderer of her father. She moved her hands with great force. She had originally only slapped her, but she still couldn't vent her anger, so she simply pulled Aunt Xia's hair with one hand and slapped her with the other, cursing her nonstop: bitch! Bitch!
Mrs. Xia didn't fight back at first because she had to save face and thought she was superior to others. But after being slapped several times and cursed so harshly, she got angry. "I'm letting you go, but you think I'm easy to mess with, don't you, Wu Xiuhua? What do you mean I seduce your man? Who do you think your man is that I need to seduce him? If I wanted to, you would have divorced a long time ago, you know that? What a bullshit!"
She uttered a harsh word and pulled Cao's hair. When she couldn't get any benefit from her hand, she kept kicking her, and kicked Cao hard on the calf.
The two of them cursed more and more viciously, and the fight became more and more fierce. Everyone was confused at first and didn't know what was going on. When the old neighbors started fighting, no one dared to step forward to stop them.
When the people around reacted and wanted to go up, they suddenly found that the two had already fought fiercely! At this time, they dared not go up, because Aunt Cao was slapping Aunt Xia madly, and Aunt Xia was kicking Aunt Cao's legs and stomach fiercely.
It was simply a live fight between two henpecked women!
At this moment, with Aunt Xia's sharp howl, the atmosphere reached its highest point.
Lin Minjun took a closer look and saw that Aunt Cao had pulled out a large handful of Aunt Xia's hair, causing her scalp to bleed.
Throwing her dyed black hair on the ground, Aunt Xia screamed, "Wu Xiuhua, you dare to pull my hair? Don't even think about running away today!"
The real fight between sluts has begun!
