Chapter 201 Killing someone isn't enough; you also have to destroy their spirit.
Zhong Chengyi's lips twitched: "If I did something like that, I'd lose my head!"
"If it's really discovered, it's fine if I die alone! But if you get involved too, and both of your sons die at once, how can Mom bear it?"
Zhang Chunxue: I'm so happy!
Zhong Chengfa was speechless.
Zhong Chengyi's words seem to make sense.
Zhong Chengyi rolled his eyes again: "And besides, do you think I wanted to bring Zhong Xiaoyang along?"
"Do you remember when someone threw excrement at Zhong Jingui's house before?"
Zhong Chengfa immediately realized what was happening: "What? You did it? And then Zhong Xiaoyang found out?"
Zhong Chengyi grinned, "Brother, what kind of image do you have of me? Am I the kind of person who would do something like this?"
He said irritably, "Xiaoxiao did it."
"Huh?" Zhong Chengfa's eyes widened. "Xiaoxiao, that jinx... she... she could actually do something like this?"
Zhong Chengyi shrugged: "So they don't care that Mom likes Xiaoxiao! This Zhong Jingui bullied Mom, and everyone knows to throw feces on Zhong Jingui's bed..."
Zhong Chengfa's lips twitched: "Who's bullying whom here?"
"Zhong Jingui only said a few words, but she was shut down by our mother and even got beaten up by her husband, Wang Anguo... Who bullied whom here?!"
Zhong Chengyi didn't answer, but just walked forward nonchalantly: "Anyway, Zhong Xiaoyang saw this, and I'm a good brother who loves his sister, so of course I have to take Zhong Xiaoyang with me."
Zhong Chengfa was silent for a moment before scoffing, "A good brother who dotes on his sister? You're just afraid Mom will beat you, aren't you?"
Zhong Chengyi choked: "Anyway...anyway, don't worry about it, this is how it turned out."
He rubbed his hair in frustration again: "Damn it! Don't let me find out who stole my things!"
In the afternoon, Zhang Chunxue and the others prepared to set up their stalls again.
As usual, Zhou Mingli took Song Yanshen to set up a stall outside the grain and oil station.
When Meng Wanshu saw her, her anger flared up again.
After returning home yesterday, she was indeed comforted by Zhong Chengfa, but when she came to work this morning, all her colleagues looked at her strangely.
Meng Wanshu immediately knew that the news of her argument with Zhou Mingli yesterday must have spread.
Zhang Chunxue's reputation at the grain and oil station was already bad after she caused a scene there before, and yesterday's incident only added fuel to the fire.
Just as Meng Wanshu was feeling unwell, Director Gu of the grain and oil station called her into his office.
“Comrade Meng Wanshu!” Director Gu looked at her, seemingly choosing his words carefully, “Your conduct is a rather serious matter…”
Meng Wanshu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put on a smiling face: "Director Gu, it's like this... Zhou Mingli... who is my husband's ex-wife, we do have some conflicts..."
"Yesterday I was planning to go to her to buy some braised food, but she refused to sell it to me and even called me a vixen, which is why we started arguing..."
She was directly throwing mud at Zhou Mingli.
As for the truth?
That's not important; Meng Wanshu believed that Director Gu wouldn't care either.
What Director Gu wanted was simply her attitude.
As expected, Director Gu simply nodded: "Even so, as a formal employee of the grain and oil station, you represent the face of our grain and oil station in public. This is really not good."
Meng Wanshu lowered her head in shame: "I understand, Director Gu. I won't do it again..."
Director Gu nodded: "Alright! Good that you understand!"
Just when Meng Wanshu thought the matter was resolved and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Director Gu's voice rang out again in a low voice.
"Things shouldn't happen more than three times. If it happens again... our grain and oil station doesn't need employees who tarnish our reputation like this."
Meng Wanshu's expression froze instantly.
Her fists were clenched, but she still had to force a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Okay, Director Gu... I promise there won't be a next time!"
Once she left Director Gu's office, Meng Wanshu's forced smile vanished instantly, and she felt an even stronger urge to hate Zhou Mingli.
It's all Zhou Mingli's fault!
That wretched woman could have set up her stall anywhere, why did she have to do it outside their grain and oil station!
Isn't this just making things difficult for her?
So all day long, Meng Wanshu was filled with bitterness and resentment.
But she didn't dare to cause any more trouble for Zhou Mingli.
After all, if they really started arguing and Director Gu actually fired her, it would be a huge loss.
Today, quite a few people came to Zhou Mingli's stall to buy braised dishes and stews.
Because Song Yanshen suddenly spoke yesterday, which piqued everyone's interest, many of them ate braised pork offal while trying to get Song Yanshen to talk today.
"Little mute... no, little gourd, say one more word!"
"Yes! I wasn't there yesterday, so I didn't hear anything. It's such a pity!"
"Say something, I'll listen!"
Song Yanshen's face was all scrunched up.
He opened his mouth, pointed with his finger, and then shook his head.
Those around immediately understood.
"What? Can't you say anything else?"
Song Yanshen nodded honestly.
The other person immediately rubbed his hands together: "You know how to say 'fox spirit,' right? Then say 'fox spirit' again! I'm so curious!"
Song Yanshen's face scrunched up again, and he waved his hands repeatedly.
The others didn't understand what he meant and kept urging him to speak quickly.
Zhou Mingli glanced over here and immediately explained with a smile, "Xiao Shen means that he can't just swear at people."
"Oh my, this child!" an older woman exclaimed, slapping her thigh. "So well-behaved!"
The other man's eyes darted around: "So if that vixen were here, could we start cursing her?"
As he spoke, he immediately shouted in the direction of the grain and oil station, "Hey! You vixen in the grain and oil station! Come out here for a second!"
The people around were silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hey Sun! Aren't you shameless?!"
"Exactly! How could we just let that vixen out like that?"
"Don't they have any pride?"
"Besides, they're not stupid, why should they come out and let others criticize them!"
The area in front of the braised food stall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Inside the grain and oil station, Meng Wanshu was furious.
What do those bastards mean?!
Buying Zhou Mingli's braised food makes you feel like she's a patron! You're always taking her side?
Just as Meng Wanshu was grinding her teeth, she heard whispers from her colleagues next to her.
"So annoying!"
"Exactly! One bad apple spoils the whole bunch..."
"Now we're too scared to go out... If we go out, wouldn't we be helping her get labeled a vixen?"
