Chapter 8 This is the soap presented as tribute to the King of the Western Regions.
Since her own son didn't get to eat instant noodles, but that little bitch's son did, Zhou Shi naturally wouldn't let it go.
That afternoon, she made inquiries from various sources and retraced the route home from the temple.
That's when they decided on the shop in front of them.
Upon hearing that there was delicious-smelling noodles, Zhao Dayi immediately followed.
He was dumbfounded when he saw the tightly closed door.
"Mom, what are we doing in this shabby shop? The eldest wants noodles, the really fragrant kind. Let's hurry up and go! The sun will be setting soon!"
In his young mind, he believed that delicious noodles should be eaten in a magnificent restaurant.
Instead of these dilapidated little shops that even rural people would disdain.
"What do you know? Your grandpa took his second son to eat noodles here."
There's absolutely no mistake, Aunt Niu from the village said she saw with her own eyes that the boy's grandfather brought Zhao Xiaoer into this shop!
She knew this shop; she had passed by it many times over the years since she married into the Zhao family.
But the door is always closed; I heard it was abandoned years ago.
Recently, however, there have been rumors that a young married woman was seen opening a shop.
Zhao Xiaoer also said she was a beautiful older sister, so it seems he was right.
Having come this far, the Zhou family refused to give up.
Bang bang bang—
She took a deep breath and went forward, banging on the door several times. Her hands turned red from banging.
Is anyone home?
"We're here to eat noodles!"
She was determined to freeload, so she definitely didn't have any money on her.
If eating isn't enough, then bring out the child's grandfather.
Since I've already eaten for free twice, I don't mind eating one more time.
She tasted the candy, and it was really sweet!
Such delicious noodles and such delicious candy are so good that I would give them away without hesitation, and I wouldn't be stingy to give away an extra bowl of noodles.
As a newlywed, you still need to know these basic social skills!
Bang bang bang—
Is the shopkeeper there?
"Business has come knocking on our door!"
Zhou and Zhao Da waited at the door for more than an hour, until it was completely dark.
Her hands were red from clapping, and her voice was hoarse.
There was no sound from inside the store.
Even after Zhao Kun pulled her and her child back, she was still reluctant to leave, turning back every few steps.
The next morning, before dawn.
Zhou and Zhao Da came to guard it again.
"Mom, can we have noodles today?" Zhao Da looked at the closed door, yawning, and couldn't help but complain.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll make sure you get to eat no matter what!"
Bang bang bang—
"Hey shopkeeper, open the door! We've come for noodles."
This time, she brought all ten copper coins from her private savings.
Money is fine, but you have to eat your fill of noodles and get plenty of candy!
That little bitch's son has already gotten his hands on food, how can her son possibly be outdone by him?
From childhood to adulthood, everything was eaten and tasted by his son before it was Zhao Er's turn.
Li entered the family a year earlier than her, and even gave birth to a son after her. She had always been the one who was superior to her, but this time she actually gave her and that little bastard a chance to show off!
She was naturally not going to accept this!
A man in plain clothes sat under the shade of a tree in the distance.
A horse was tethered beside him, and he was holding a pot of tea.
He appeared to be feeding the horse grass, but his eyes never left the shop.
He wanted the store to open more than anyone else.
They even hoped that this greedy woman would open the door, regardless of who came out.
Although His Highness the Crown Prince did not punish us yesterday, he was somewhat displeased. We cannot be careless this time.
If that kind of thing happens again, Jiang Yi will only be able to shovel horse manure in the future.
At first, Jiang Yi accompanied His Highness the Crown Prince to wait here. When no one arrived by the third day, he began to suspect that His Highness had seen a ghost or was having a dream.
After all, this shop doesn't look like it's run by anyone.
There wasn't even a sign at the entrance, and nearby villagers said the shop had been abandoned for a long time.
How could a young woman be running a shop alone in the middle of the night? Just hearing about it sends chills down my spine!
But yesterday, in broad daylight, under the sun, he did see a beautiful girl walk out of the store.
Although the clothing is a bit strange, it has all the necessary parts from head to toe.
Jiang Yi then realized that what His Highness the Crown Prince said was true...
The sun came out, its rays blindingly bright.
Zhou's legs ached from standing, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his back.
Zhao Da grew impatient: "Mom! When can we eat noodles?! I'm starving! If I don't get to eat those delicious noodles soon, that brat Zhao Er will laugh at me again when we get back!"
They were dragged out before dawn and didn't even have breakfast, so they must be starving now.
Guh—
Zhou's stomach also growled.
Just then, a man dressed in hemp clothing walked over.
"What's all this fuss about? There's a ton of work to do at home. Mother has said that from now on, anyone who doesn't work won't get any food!"
Zhou was furious whenever she saw him!
"It's all because you dragged me away last night! Don't you know that your dad only ate his noodles at midnight? Maybe the shop only opened at midnight too! It's all your fault that we missed it! You'll have to make us eat noodles too!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dayi also assumed that it was his father who was causing him to miss meals, and he also punched him with his hand.
"Dad, you have to eat noodles with me! You have to eat noodles with me! Zhao Da wants noodles, the really fragrant kind. Zhao Er has already had them, and I want some too! I want some too!"
Because she was a lower-ranking woman who married into the family, Zhou treated him poorly at home, often ordering him around, beating and scolding him, and even the children had no respect for him.
This farce attracted a large crowd of villagers. Feeling humiliated, Zhao Kun angrily turned and...
"I don't care anymore, don't blame me if you go hungry!"
This woman is crazy! It's just a bowl of noodles! Why is she making such a fuss about it?
As more and more people gathered to watch, the sun grew increasingly scorching.
Zhou stamped her foot and pulled Zhao Da away.
The man under the tree sighed regretfully; now he was alone again, guarding the place.
——
The Chen residence.
Recently, the second wife, Wang Yue, has been very happy.
Just thinking about how Zhao's third wife was humiliated at the temple fair three days ago makes her smile.
That little bitch Sun Qiuxiang, knowing she couldn't compare to her in beauty, kept making fun of her because of her body odor.
At the temple fair, I stood in front of her, smelling sweet and perfectly made up, which made her so angry that she almost suffered heatstroke.
Especially since two beautiful large butterflies kept chasing after her, spreading fragrance wherever she went.
Sun Qiuxiang had been playing on the mountain for most of the day, and her body was already soaked in sweat. Even though she didn't have body odor, the sour smell of sweat was still very impolite for a young woman.
In the past, because of Wang Yue, that "stinky person," the sour smell of her sweat was basically negligible.
But today, this "stinky person" has become a "fragrant person" that even butterflies adore.
In terms of beauty, Sun Qiuxiang has always been slightly inferior, and now even her body odor has been surpassed.
Faced with Wang Yue's mockery, Sun Qiuxiang was speechless for a moment, and almost twisted her ankle when she walked down the mountain.
The women who had previously mocked Wang Yue all crowded around to inquire what method she had used to make her smell so good.
After all, summer is here, and ladies don't want to smell.
If even a scoundrel like Wang Yue can be cured, what are their little problems compared to that?
Wang Yue always remembered them teasing her along with Sun Qiuxiang, so she naturally wouldn't tell them the reason. She only vaguely said that it was a gift from her distant cousin, supposedly a soap presented as tribute to the King of the Western Regions.
Even if ordinary people have money, they can't buy it!
The ladies had no choice but to return home disappointed.
Having achieved her goal, Wang Yue was happy all day.
However, by evening, the fragrance seemed to have almost disappeared, and body odor reappeared.
She took another bath so that the master could stay in her room tonight.
That night, the master and she were intimate for a long time. The master was very satisfied, and she was very satisfied too!
