Chapter 74 Country Bumpkin
Jiang Ruzhen checked into the Dahua Hotel with her second child, and she requested two single rooms.
The second son couldn't take it all in the moment he entered the hotel.
He found the leather sofa fascinating, the marble floor tiles fascinating, and the enormous dome and chandelier overhead, with crystal light panels glittering under the light, almost blinding him.
All these luxurious decorations made the second son feel like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, overwhelmed with wonder.
He was just complaining that 31 nights was too expensive, but after arriving at his room with a lot of surprises along the way, he immediately stopped complaining about the price.
The bathroom was clean and white, with a soft mattress, a pleasantly smelling bathroom, a shower, and a flush toilet.
"Mom, this toilet smells better than our kitchen!"
Jiang Ruzhen found the second son's words amusing, "Then you can take your food to the toilet to eat later."
"Then let's forget about it."
"Okay, come find me next door when you're done tidying up. I'll take you out to eat and then we'll take a stroll around Xihu Lake."
The second brother casually agreed, and Jiang Ruzhen ignored him and went back to her room, then went into her spatial dimension.
She didn't even care about the hotel's standard facilities; after all, nothing beats the comfort of her own villa.
The second son rummaged through the room, looking around, and sat on the toilet for an hour trying to figure out its performance.
Then I became interested in the shower room, and spent an hour taking a bath and rinsing off.
When he cleaned himself up and came to find Jiang Ruzhen, she had already taken a nap in the space.
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and she was starving.
I didn't want to go out to find food at all, so I simply took my second child to the Western restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
We ordered a plate of pasta, a fruit salad, and another filet mignon, which we also ordered well-done.
This caused everyone around them to look at the two of them and point and whisper.
The second son looked at Jiang Ruzhen, puzzled. Jiang Ruzhen shrugged. "Ignore them. They're making a fuss over nothing. I just like my food well-done. What can they do to me?"
"What a bumpkin. Steak is best eaten medium-rare. He doesn't know anything about steak and is an embarrassment."
A stylishly dressed woman at the next table glanced at Shen Zhuoyi and Jiang Ruzhen with the look of utter contempt.
"Who are you talking to, you damned woman?" Shen Zhuoyi slammed his hand on the table and stood up, rolling up his sleeves as he was about to go and beat someone up.
In Shen Zhuoyi's eyes, there was no rule against hitting women; anyone who dared to disrespect his mother deserved to be beaten.
The beautiful woman next door screamed in fright and threw herself into the arms of the man next to her.
The man was fat and had a lewd look on his face. He held the beautiful woman in his arms and comforted her softly.
"Baby, don't be afraid. Let your brother get revenge for you!"
He released the beautiful woman and strode over, but when he got close to Shen Zhuoyi, he realized that Shen Zhuoyi was two heads shorter, and his momentum immediately deflated.
Shen Zhuoyi flexed his biceps, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he glared at the burly man with hostility.
The burly man smiled and took two steps back. "Brother, it's a misunderstanding... a misunderstanding. My woman is being unreasonable. Please forgive her."
Seeing that the other party had backed down, Shen Zhuoyi snorted and turned to sit down. Jiang Ruzhen immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised him with a smile.
Shen Zhuoyi was smug, and the fat man only then saw Jiang Ruzhen's face clearly, and was immediately amazed by her beauty.
"Brother, you're really lucky! Your girlfriend is gorgeous, I'm so envious."
"Get lost, what girlfriend? That's my mom." Shen Zhuoyi's words left the fat, burly man dumbfounded.
Is there anyone more fun-loving than him these days?
Why does he insist on calling his partner "Mom"? Is this some kind of Oedipus complex?
Once things calmed down, the waiter came to deliver the food, and the second son looked somewhat troubled, holding his knife and fork.
Why are all these foreign things so bizarre? They insist on cutting up a perfectly good piece of meat to eat.
He could boast about eating just a little bit of pork belly on the plate in one bite.
He didn't know how to use a knife and fork, so he just used the fork to pick up the steak and swirl it into his mouth in two bites, speaking indistinctly to Jiang Ruzhen.
"Mom, this small piece of meat isn't enough!"
Jiang Ruzhen pushed her steak to the second oldest, and beckoned the waiter to bring three more plates of well-done steak.
The waiters and the surrounding diners were shocked. What did these two country bumpkins think this place was?
The Dahua Hotel is a place specifically for receiving foreign guests and important leaders. The prices here are usually very high; a single meal here can cost as much as a month's salary for an average person.
These two don't look like wealthy people at all, and their eating manners are so rude; it's simply shameful.
It would be even more embarrassing if you couldn't pay the bill when it came time to settle the bill.
“Honey, these people are so barbaric and shameful. I don’t want to sit with them. Go and chase them away.”
The beautiful woman at the next table glared angrily at Jiang Ruzhen. She had finally managed to hook up with a rich man and they had just had a chance to eat together when this rich man took a fancy to Jiang Ruzhen.
His eyes were practically popping out of their sockets, and he was drooling all over the floor.
She couldn't let Jiang Ruzhen steal her man, so she moved even closer, rubbing against the fat man.
Not wanting to cause trouble, the man repeatedly tried to appease the woman and promised to take her to the mall to buy a bag later, which finally calmed her down.
"Waiter, give me two pairs of chopsticks."
Jiang Ruzhen was eating noodles with a fork, but after a couple of bites she wasn't satisfied and had to ask the waiter to change her equipment.
The waiter had never seen such a brazen customer who didn't care about what others thought, so he reluctantly brought Jiang Ruzhen two pairs of chopsticks.
Jiang Ruzhen ate the spaghetti with chopsticks, and it was indeed much easier.
She had just finished her noodles and was about to eat a few bites of fruit salad when her second son pushed the last piece of steak towards her.
"Mom, are you reluctant to eat it? This little bit of meat doesn't cost much, have a piece too."
Jiang Ruzhen shook her head. She wasn't interested in meat anyway; she preferred to eat something lighter.
"Hmph, I thought they were some nouveau riche with no taste, turns out they're just a poor wretch trying to put on airs! Hopefully, they won't have another meal after this. Heh heh..."
The beautiful woman at the next table started being sarcastic again. Jiang Ruzhen didn't want to cause trouble; she had already tolerated this woman several times, but she still wouldn't let it go. So, she decided not to blame her for speaking so maliciously.
She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and looked at the beautiful woman opposite her with a smile, then started to criticize, "Is your mother a comedian? How did she give birth to such a joke like you?"
If you enjoy showing off so much, why don't you just kill yourself and be reborn as a pair of underwear? Are you perhaps overeating fertilizer and burning your brain, or has your prostatitis turned into meningitis?
Look at how gaudily you're dressed; a sparrow wearing a flowery cotton-padded jacket is obviously no good bird.
At such a young age, instead of working hard to find a rich man and quietly licking your sugar daddy's boots, what are you trying to prove in front of me?
A mouth full of excrement can stink for miles against the wind, so don't talk to me like that, I find you disgusting.
And please cover your mouth when you speak, or you'll spit on my food and catch some dirty disease from me!
"You...you...how can you speak so viciously?" The beautiful woman was not very strong and was almost driven to the brink of collapse by Jiang Ruzhen's barrage of insults.
Jiang Ruzhen propped her head up and continued to smile infuriatingly, "If you glare at me again, I'll gouge your eyeballs out to stop you from kicking marbles."
My head got whipped by a donkey, and now I'm carrying around this shriveled eggplant head to scare people. And birds of a feather flock together; we humans and dogs are different.
"Insulting you would only dirty my mouth. You might as well just take a piss and drown yourself; you're just a waste of air."
"Honey, she's insulting me, and you're just going to watch?" The beautiful woman couldn't stand it anymore and turned to torment the fat man.
The obese man could tell that Jiang Ruzhen was no pushover, and with the woman making such a fuss, all the customers in the Western restaurant were looking at him.
To avoid further embarrassment, he packed his things and dragged the beautiful woman away.
The beautiful woman was still not convinced and turned to Jiang Ruzhen, saying fiercely, "You wait, I won't let you get away with this."
"Life has no mistakes, only idiots! What am I waiting for you for? You're not my granddaughter, you're not expecting me to bring you water to wash your feet and be a dutiful daughter!"
Next time you go out, remember to bring your brain. Don't be like someone pulling a millstone naked, making a fool of themselves.
As soon as Jiang Ruzhen finished speaking, a series of snickers and giggles rose and fell in the Western restaurant.
Jiang Ruzhen's mouth was so sharp that it opened their eyes, like listening to a stand-up comedy routine.
