Chapter 52 Shooting Yourself in the Foot



"Mom, whose jam is this?"

The fifth brother's wife could tell at a glance that the jam was not homemade.

The old lady is good at making jam, the sauce is delicate and bright in color.

How can it compare to this pool of muddy stuff in front of me?

Old Mrs. Song said in a deep voice, "This is the jam that Dongzi's mother made and sold for money."

The Song family basically knew about what Dongzi's mother had just done.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhang Cuizhi said worriedly:

"If that's the case, then what the young man just bought back were all these sour jams?"

Old Mrs. Song nodded slightly.

"Isn't this making money against one's conscience? You know the jam is sour, but you still sell it to others at a high price."

"I guess she didn't even know her jam was sour."

Old Lady Song nodded. "Boss is right. Dongzi's mother isn't stupid enough to deceive the people from the law enforcement team. So, she definitely doesn't know that there's something wrong with her jam."

"Mom, do you want to remind her about this?"

Song Laowu spat lightly:

"This woman is responsible for her own misfortune. Even if she has offended others, that is her own business. What does it have to do with us?"

Dongzi's mother is not a good person. Moreover, she has repeatedly targeted the Song family, and her actions are really disgusting.

What Song Laowu said was not an exaggeration at all.

The old lady thought about it for a while, but had a different opinion on the matter.

She didn't speak directly to comfort her angry son.

Instead, he talked about the people involved:

"Dongzi's mother is certainly abominable, but if Bingbing sells these jams to someone else, the responsibility will be on her. After all, she is Xiaoqi's godmother and one of us. How could we do such a thing?"

That's true.

Old Mrs. Song looked around and knew that her family had deep resentment towards Dongzi's mother.

Therefore, she didn't intend to let them do such a frustrating thing as persuading others.

Since she was the one who proposed this matter, she naturally had to say it herself.

After a while, the old lady went to knock on Dongzi's door.

The person who opened the door happened to be Dongzi's cheerful mother.

She earned nearly two years' savings in just that one day and was extremely happy.

So much so that even when he sees his "archenemy", he can still smile in a friendly manner.

"Aunt Song, you are such a rare guest. What's the matter? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Old Mrs. Song didn't want to play tricks on her, and she didn't want to see her being sarcastic in front of her.

"Dongzi's mom, please bring back your jam before it goes too far."

Dongzi's mother's smile suddenly froze on her face.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm advising you to stop before you make a big mistake, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences."

She didn't mean to be alarmist.

It was clearly a good intention, but when Dongzi's mother heard it, it came across as him being deliberately sarcastic in front of her.

Dongzi's mother's face immediately fell.

His face looked gloomy and somewhat scary.

"Mrs. Song, aren't you too narrow-minded? I sell jam based on my own ability. How did I offend you? How dare you say such things in front of me?"

There happened to be some villagers at Dongzi's house.

Everyone knew that she made money selling jam, so naturally everyone wanted to come and gain some experience and also wanted to make some money to spend.

Who would have thought that when Old Lady Song showed up, she didn't say a single nice word, only words that made people angry.

If someone makes money, that’s their ability.

A woman in yellow clothes, who was usually on good terms with Dongzi's mother, saw that she had made money and wanted to flatter her, so she immediately started to laugh at Old Lady Song:

"Aunt Song, why are you doing this? Even though you don't have a good relationship with the Dongzi family, there's no need to say such discouraging words on such a beautiful day. Isn't this just embarrassing?"

"Oh, I think the old lady probably did it on purpose. I heard that the jam was originally ordered from your family?"

Dongzi's mother raised the corner of her mouth slightly:

"Isn't it? In the end, Aunt Song couldn't come up with that much jam, and in the end she had to pay a hundred yuan in compensation, and then they didn't pursue the matter."

The woman in yellow and Dongzi's mother sang in unison.

"No wonder he specifically said such spoiling things. Are you jealous?"

Old Mrs. Song's face was filled with anger. Up to her age, no one dared to say such things in front of her.

This directly led to her not wanting to mention any further details.

"In that case, I don't think you need to listen to my advice. Just take care of yourself."

As Dongzi's mother's rival, the old lady felt that she had done her utmost by doing this.

Dongzi's mother's end came quickly.

Just two days later, when she was still feeling smug, the young man came to her again.

The person who came with him this time was Lin Bing.

After returning to town, the young man told Lin Bing about the situation.

Lin Bing naturally scolded him.

But since I have already bought the green plum jam, I can only use it temporarily.

Who would have thought that this plum jam would emit a strong sour smell as soon as it was opened.

If one or two bottles were like this, it might be a fluke, but Lin Bing opened more than a dozen bottles in a row, and each one was stinkier than the last.

Lin Bing's expression probably also turned sour.

The young man looked regretful and kept blaming himself for buying green plum jam in an unfamiliar place.

"Sister Lin, this is all my fault. I never thought that the two families living so close to each other could make such different jams."

Lin Bing was so angry that she didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

The young man thought of something again and handed the envelope to Lin Bing intact.

"Sister Lin, this is the two hundred yuan that the old lady from the Song family asked me to give you."

"two hundred?"

The young man nodded:

"It is indeed two hundred. This old lady is quite capable. She said that she wanted to compensate you for not delivering the goods on time."

When Lin Bing heard this, he was so angry that he almost laughed.

"Li Weize, you really hit me hard."

"……ah?"

"Guess why I asked you to go to the Song family to buy green plum jam?"

Li Weize was stunned and looked at Lin Bing in confusion.

"My goddaughter is in the Song family. They are my godparents' family."

Li Weize opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

What on earth did I do?

Because of this premise, when Lin Bing wanted to come to Murakami again, Li Weize insisted on going with her again.

I originally didn't want to bring him here, after all, he had a bad attitude when he came to the Song family.

But Li Weize insisted so strongly that Lin Bing had no choice but to agree to him.
