She thought she could threaten Jiang Sui, but Jiang Sui did not take her threat seriously. Instead, he looked down at her with a cold expression:
"Yes, you know that no one can testify, so who can prove that you were my foster mother? Just based on your one-sided statement? And you don't even bother to ask around about my reputation on this street. This is Jeju City, and the last thing it needs is people like you who are begging for money. If you want to make a fuss, then go ahead and make a fuss. Look at all the people on this street. Do they want to believe an old beggar like you, or me?"
Jiang Sui has never been a soft persimmon who can be bullied by others, and Chen Jinhua still doesn't know her well enough.
This was more than the first or second time that she had suffered at her hands, but she still hadn't learned her lesson.
Chen Jinhua stared at her. Facing the current Jiang Sui, she was unconsciously overwhelmed by her superior aura.
When did Jiang Sui start to change? It seemed like he changed on the day the matchmaker came to propose marriage to Xiao Hechuan and Qiaoqiao!
Jiang Sui, who had always been timid and cowardly, never fighting back when beaten or scolded, became smart and ruthless since that day.
And her ruthlessness is only directed at herself.
Seeing the fear in her eyes, Jiang Sui sneered and finally said:
"I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise I will ask people to carry you away. The guys in this store are very careful, so you should be careful."
Jiang Sui finished speaking and turned to leave.
Chen Jinhua looked at her back, feeling unwilling, and wondered why you are living such a good life now?
She couldn't bear to see Jiang Sui having a bad life.
Even if it was as she said, and no one would believe her, she would still make a fuss.
So, she stood up and rushed towards Jiang Sui, grabbed her hand and started to make a scene:
"You ungrateful bastard, I raised you up in vain. Now that you have become successful, you have forgotten your adoptive mother. Don't forget that you stole your marriage from your sister!"
Jiang Sui was so shocked by her sudden attack that he lost his balance and almost fell down the stairs.
Fortunately, the two waiters were quick-witted and rushed over to push Chen Jinhua away.
Chen Jinhua had been hungry for a long time and was so thin that her bones were just skin and bones. She was also old and could not withstand the push from an adult man and fell down the stairs.
Pedestrians on the street were immediately attracted by the bustle here, and even customers who were eating in the store put down their chopsticks and came out to eat.
Chen Jinhua felt pain, covered her waist and cried out in pain, and did not forget to continue to slander Jiang Sui:
"Everyone, come and see this ungrateful woman. If it weren't for my husband who picked her up from the suburbs in the middle of winter and raised her, she would have frozen to death long ago. How could she have lived such a good life today?
Now that she has become rich and powerful, she has forgotten me, her adoptive mother. It's a pity that my husband passed away early and raised her like his own daughter, but she turned out to be an ungrateful person. She won't even give me a bite of food to eat.
You let people beat me up. God is really blind. It is said that the grace of raising a child is better than the grace of a relative. You will be punished."
Everyone listened to the old beggar woman crying and snotting as she spoke, as if it were true.
They all started talking about it, but when they looked at the proprietress of Xiao Ji, everyone who had eaten at her house knew that Madam Jiang was the best at doing business, and was kind to people. She always smiled and spoke softly to everyone, and she was also very knowledgeable about the ways of the world, and was not at all as bad as the old beggar woman said.
Besides, Xiao Ji also gives food to the old, weak, sick and disabled beggars, as well as homeless little beggars every day. All of these are ordered by this Madam Jiang. Isn't this enough to show that she is a beautiful and kind person?
And when you look at how she gets along well with her parents-in-law, sisters-in-law, and aunts and sisters-in-law, and always talks and laughs with them, it further proves that she knows how to behave and how to balance these complex family relationships!
"Mrs. Jiang is such a good person, it's impossible for her to be like what she said!"
"That's right. I don't really believe it. Madam Jiang is kind and beautiful. Even if she did something heartless, it must be someone else's fault first."
You see, this is the importance of building a good reputation. Everyone subconsciously speaks for Jiang Sui.
Seeing this, Chen Jinhua realized that if Jiang Sui said anything, no one would believe her.
At this time, Jiang Sui spoke:
"Old man, you must have recognized the wrong person. There are many people who look alike in this world. You can't just blame me because I look like your adopted daughter. That would be unfair to me. I didn't want to make things difficult for you. I kindly gave you water and food to fill your stomach, but you kept pestering me and ruining my reputation. This is not appropriate. You are just one-sided and have no evidence. I can hand you over to the government and expel you from Jeju City!"
Jiang Sui didn't want to admit or explain what happened in the past in front of everyone.
If you talk too much, wouldn't it be suspected of playing the victim?
Moreover, gossip can make a person appear guilty. If Jiang Sui admits that she raised him, then according to traditional thinking, no matter how excessive it is, she has raised him, and Jiang Sui must bear some responsibility for her.
But she doesn't want to be responsible for herself. Just because of that time, when she found someone to tarnish her innocence and threaten herself for the recipe of hot and sour noodles, she is not worthy of being a human being.
Moreover, although she gave the original owner food to eat, her subsequent actions towards her and her indifference after she fell ill indirectly caused her death.
Karma is a cycle of reincarnation, Jiang Sui doesn’t owe her anything.
So, just don’t admit it and save yourself a lot of trouble.
Whenever Chen Jinhua heard the word "government", she shuddered. Damn Jiang Sui, he always used the government to suppress her.
However, she also took the risk and continued to quibble:
"Jiang Sui, do you think it's okay if you don't admit it? I can count the names of everyone in your Xiao family one by one, you can't deny this!"
She thought that if she could call out the names of all the people in the Xiao family, it would prove that what she said was true.
Jiang Sui, however, remained calm:
"We, the Xiao family, have been doing business on this street for quite a long time. We are very public and often come to our house for dinner. How many of our customers don't know our names?
Our Xiao Ji is somewhat famous in the streets. If you ask around, you can find out our names. This doesn't mean anything. I advise you not to try to get money from us. Just leave now. If you continue to pester me, I will get angry no matter how good my temper is."
If Jiang Sui wants to maintain his image, he cannot use force against Chen Jinhua in front of so many people on the street.
Anyway, now that she has fallen to this state, can she still turn the tables?
Afterwards, she would find a way to drive her out of Jeju City so that she wouldn't be bothered by her.
"That's right, you beggar woman, don't be too pushy. You are old and have fallen into such a state. Even your children don't want to take care of you. How immoral are you?"
"Mrs. Jiang has a good temper and won't bother with you. Just leave now and don't think about getting anything for free."
