On his way to work in the morning, Bu Ling rode his bicycle with a furrowed brow.
She always felt like she had forgotten something, but she just couldn't remember it.
Upon arriving at the state-run restaurant, I saw Wu Yuanyuan busy in the kitchen.
Bu Ling paused, then remembered—it was related to Wu Yuanyuan!
She was so engrossed in gossip yesterday that she forgot to ask Tie about his relationship with Jiang Hua. She continued walking towards the counter as if nothing had happened.
No rush, it's not too late to ask today. Anyway, Sister Yuanyuan isn't in a hurry.
When Sangshen arrived at work this morning, his colleagues told him about Widow Liu, and after hearing the gist of it, he couldn't sit still.
I sat there feeling like I was on pins and needles until 9:40, then immediately slipped away, riding my bicycle straight to the state-run restaurant.
When he arrived, the state-run restaurant had just opened. He parked his bicycle and went inside.
Walked to the counter
When Bu Ling saw Sang Shen walk in, she smiled at him and said, "Sang Shen, you're here early today. What would you like to eat? We have pork dumplings today, would you like some?"
"Okay, just one order of pork dumplings and two side dishes."
Bling took the money and tickets he handed over and notified the kitchen.
After ordering, Sangshen didn't leave, looking like she had something to say.
"Mulberry, what's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"
Mulberry nodded
"I heard there's a legendary woman in your compound who can sleep with nine men in one night?"
Bling: ? ? ?
Bling: !!!
Could he be referring to Widow Liu?
Does news spread that fast?
It's almost as old as when we had the internet.
Mulberry urged, "Is it really true?"
Bu Ling shook his head: "It's not that I have nine men at night, it's that I'm juggling nine relationships!"
This news is way too outrageous!
What kind of claim is "having sex with nine men in one night"? That's way too exaggerated! Rumors are indeed more dangerous than tigers!
Sangshen frowned. Was that the main point of his question?
Are you close to her?
Although the mulberry's question was rambling, Bling still understood.
He shook his head: "No good. She lives in the backyard, and I live in the frontyard. We're just acquaintances who greet each other when we meet."
Sangshen was still uneasy. The thought of Little Blackie living in the courtyard with this kind of person made him restless.
What if this woman corrupts his innocent little black girl? He doesn't want to end up with a cuckold's head.
No, he had to think of something. Either he could find a new place for the little black girl to live, or he could move in himself and keep a close eye on her, preventing any ill-intentioned people from corrupting his innocent little girl.
Seeing Sangshen frowning in thought, Buling asked in return, "Where did you hear about this? The news spread way too fast, and it's so outrageous!"
Isn't it said that news travels slowly these days? How come it spread like this overnight?
“I heard it from a colleague,” Mulberry said.
"Your colleague is quite gossipy!" Bu Ling laughed.
Not only gossip, but also imagination
Mulberry's expression was somewhat indescribable; thinking of the gossipy men she'd met that morning, she felt a bit of a toothache.
Honestly, they just added drama to his life, making him lose face in front of that little black girl.
However, he still needed to keep a close eye on the little black girl to feel at ease. Putting aside anything else, what if someone tried to steal her away? After all, the little black girl didn't seem very bright; all she did was grin foolishly all day.
Bling: ? ? ?
“Exactly, a bunch of grown men, talking a lot of nonsense,” Sangshen chimed in.
Especially since their job exposes them to many new and interesting things.
Bu Ling nodded in agreement. Gossip knows no age or gender.
Sangshen gossiped about the details for a few more minutes, and then his dumplings were ready. Reluctantly, he carried the dumplings to a table and sat down.
Eating dumplings slowly and elegantly
Hmm~ I eat one every five minutes or so?
Bling didn't even notice someone's flare-up.
As the sun rose higher, more and more people came to eat, most of them well-dressed men and women.
Because they wanted to save food for their families, they preferred to spend a little money to eat at state-run restaurants, not only eating but also taking leftovers home. This caused the food at state-run restaurants to sell out very quickly.
Just after 11:30, the "Sold Out" sign was put up.
Those who arrived late naturally complained, but there was nothing they could do but go home to eat.
Of course, none of this concerned Buling, a mere waitress. After hanging up the sign, she closed the counter window and strolled to the kitchen to eat her staff meal.
Today's staff meal consisted of noodles made from a mixture of dark and white flour, with shredded potatoes as the side dish. Buling didn't mind; she was just glad to have something to eat at all.
During the meal, Sister Ma, who was usually silent, suddenly spoke up: "Xiao Bu, Xiao Wu, I heard that there's a widow in Yangliu Alley who was caught cheating on nine men. Do you two know who she is?"
"Cough cough cough~"
"puff----"
"What's wrong? Quick, quick, get Xiaobu some water!"
"Xiao Wu, you've sprayed your saliva all over the food!"
Wu Yuanyuan covered her mouth with her hand, sucked back the noodles that had sprayed out, and swallowed them.
"I'm so sorry, everyone, I really didn't mean to."
Waaah~ So embarrassing!
Bling had recovered and put down the water, saying, "Thank you, Manager Zhu."
Seeing the two young people's strong reaction, how could Sister Ma not know?
"Little Bu, were you really cornered in bed?"
"Xiao Wu, really nine men in one night?"
Aunt Ma's eyes lit up, completely different from her usual worried expression.
Even Grandpa Tan and Manager Zhu pricked up their ears and listened silently.
Although Han Yu wasn't well-liked, she still ate the staff meals with everyone. Hearing Sister Ma's words, her expression went blank for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she looked at the two women expectantly, as if she had just thought of something.
