Chapter Sixty-One: If you didn't know better, you'd think Clerk Song was your man!
The next morning, Zhang Chunxue and Zhou Mingli went out together.
She came to town on an empty stomach, partly because she was afraid she wouldn't be able to buy anything good at the market, and partly because she wanted to find out what she needed to know first.
After separating from Zhou Mingli, she first went to Old Zhao's house, where he slaughtered pigs.
Old Zhao's family were the butchers in town, slaughtering pigs and delivering meat to the supply and marketing cooperative every day.
As soon as Zhang Chunxue entered the door, she started talking with a smile, her words as sweet as honey.
"Brother Zhao, I'm planning to start a small business recently. Could you save some of your pig offal for me? I'll come and get it every day."
Old Zhao hesitated at first: "You're a woman, how dare you do this?"
Zhang Chunxue smiled and said, "If I, a widow, don't even dare to sell braised pork offal, I might as well just lie in my coffin! After all, I still have to support my family!"
Old Zhao was taken aback by her remark, then laughed: "Alright, alright, your mouth is sharper than a butcher's knife. Well then, just leave a time, tell me in advance when you want it, and I'll save it for you."
Zhang Chunxue nodded repeatedly. After writing down Lao Zhao's name, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy spices, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, chili powder, and some liquor.
She mentally calculated that she would have to buy these things in several batches; if they were too expensive, it wouldn't be worthwhile to buy them all at once.
Just as I was carrying money in my pocket and counting my money, I walked to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative and bumped into someone.
It is Zhong Jingui.
Zhong Jingui never expected to meet Zhang Chunxue.
However, the thought of Song Xingzhi having dinner at Zhang Chunxue's house last night made Zhong Jingui's anger rise again.
Upon seeing Zhang Chunxue, Zhong Jingui immediately switched to mocking mode: "Oh my, isn't this Sister Chunxue! You've come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy new clothes again today?"
"What, trying to seduce some man with a flashy new outfit again? You already have a grandson, yet you still dress up like an old hag every day. Aren't you ashamed?"
Zhang Chunxue was somewhat puzzled.
She had no prior connection with Zhong Jingui. Although Zhong Jingui was related to the Zhong family in some way, Zhang Chunxue and Zhong Guosheng had separated from the Zhong family long ago and had no further contact with their relatives.
What is Zhong Jingui saying here now, rambling on and on?
However, Zhang Chunxue was not one to be easily mocked. She looked Zhong Jingui up and down before scoffing, "Zhong Jingui, have you lost your mind? All you talk about is men. Is there nothing else in your head besides that filthy stuff?"
"What did I do to offend you by wearing new clothes? How am I trying to seduce anyone?"
"Even if I dress up in a flamboyant way, does that mean I'm not indecent?"
She couldn't help but sneer: "You, Zhong Jingui, wouldn't think that everyone else is like that, would you?"
Zhong Jingui was surprised that Zhang Chunxue dared to talk back, and immediately pointed at Zhang Chunxue's nose and cursed: "Pah! Don't you know how old you are! You have no shame! You should stay at home and take care of your grandson! Don't be so shameless as to seduce men!"
"A haggard old woman, does she still think she's an unmarried young wife? What grandmother acts like you!"
"You shameless old vixen!"
Zhang Chunxue's face also darkened: "Zhong Jingui, are you sick in the head! I just have a grandson, I'm not dead, and what I do is none of your business!"
Zhong Jingui retorted, "You've been living so comfortably all these years on Guosheng's pension, and now you're hooking up with other men. How can you face Guosheng?"
"Whether I've treated Zhong Guosheng well or not is none of your business to point fingers at me! Who do you think you are!" Zhang Chunxue spat. "I raised Zhong Guosheng's three sons and one daughter to adulthood. The two older ones have even gotten married and had children. I didn't spend all the compensation money myself!"
"What? You're upset that you didn't get to spend Zhong Guosheng's compensation money? Why don't you just die and spend his money in the afterlife?"
Zhong Jingui's face flushed red with anger: "You, you...that's not what I meant! I said you seduced men! You shameless bastard!"
"Oh? I seduce men?" Zhang Chunxue narrowed her eyes.
This little vixen came looking for trouble today just for this, right?
She deliberately spoke sarcastically: "So what if I seduced a man? What does it have to do with you? I didn't seduce your man! I wouldn't even look at your man!"
A crowd instantly formed around them.
Wow, there's going to be some excitement today.
Zhong Jingui's face turned red with anger. Pointing at Zhang Chunxue's nose, she scolded, "Don't be shameless! Everyone knows what you're up to! You can't seduce Song Xingzhi!"
"Your husband's body is barely cold, and you're already seducing someone else? You're shameless!"
But in her heart she was thinking that Zhang Chunxue would be better off seducing her man!
If Zhang Chunxue really seduces her man, she can just divorce him and marry Song Xingzhi.
After all, the reason Song Xingzhi was able to be seduced by Zhang Chunxue was because Song Xingzhi was old!
He's over thirty, it's perfectly normal for him to be thinking about women now!
However, given his age, it's normal for him to be embarrassed to date young girls, which is why he took a liking to Zhang Chunxue, a widow.
If Zhang Chunxue can do it, why can't she?
Zhang Chunxue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So that's why you came all this way to wait for me! You like Secretary Song!"
Zhong Jingui panicked slightly, but still tried to sound tough: "Who blocked your way! I just happened to run into you at the supply and marketing cooperative!"
Zhang Chunxue ignored her and immediately started shouting, "Oh dear, so Zhong Jingui, who married out of our village, likes Secretary Song! I just treated Secretary Song to a meal, and she came all the way here to block my way. Anyone who knows knows that Secretary Song doesn't even give you a second glance. Anyone who doesn't know would think that Secretary Song is your man!"
Her voice grew louder and louder: "Does your husband know that you've been married to him for over ten years and you still have feelings for other men? Does Secretary Song know that he's been having his eye on someone like you all this time?"
Zhong Jingui's face turned pale instantly.
If her man heard this, how could she possibly have a good ending?
She rushed over and covered Zhang Chunxue's mouth in a panic: "You, you stop talking nonsense!"
Zhang Chunxue was very agile, dodging to the side and hiding behind an older woman who was watching the commotion, and continued to shout loudly: "You came to cause me trouble for no reason, and now you want to hit me? Are you feeling guilty?"
The onlookers immediately erupted in an uproar. Some started laughing, while others said directly, "Tsk tsk tsk, he probably really has something to hide!"
Someone whispered, "Didn't they say that Zhong Jingui pursued Secretary Song in her younger days? She was rejected terribly."
"Yes, her husband Wang Anguo has a bad temper. If he knew she was still thinking about Secretary Song, he would definitely break her legs."
