Seeing that there were few people in the store, Xia Zhichu asked, "I remember this place was packed with people before. Why are there so few customers at this time?"
This hotpot restaurant serves large portions of authentic Sichuan cuisine, and most importantly, it's good value for money.
When I was in college, Xia Zhichu and Chu Tiantian often came here, and there was always a long queue.
The boss sighed and said, "It's been like this for the past few years. A chain store opened next door, and customers all went there to eat. Naturally, our small shop has no customers anymore.
You two are lucky, we will close after these few days of business, and I'm afraid you will never be able to taste the flavor of this traditional hot pot again."
The boss shook his head and left.
Xia Zhichu still felt a little regretful. The old store that had been open for more than ten years went bankrupt just like that.
The two ordered the signature hot pot, which was still as spicy as before. Although Xia Zhichu had a strong taste, he still broke out in sweat from the spiciness.
There was a university next to them, and there were a lot of students coming and going. While eating hot pot, the two of them talked about interesting things that happened in college.
After eating and drinking, it was already 8:30 in the evening.
We left the hotpot restaurant hand in hand. The student street was quite lively. Most of the people coming and going were campus couples. Occasionally they would play around, and they exuded a youthful atmosphere.
Chu Tiantian took Xia Zhichu shopping, but just after passing the traffic light, she suddenly saw an aunt running through, and the red light was already on.
"Be careful." Xia Zhichu kindly reminded.
When the other party heard her voice, he came to his senses and quickly retreated.
It was not until this moment that Xia Zhichu saw the other person's appearance clearly. It was actually... Shen Liang's mother!
Mother Shen also saw Xia Zhichu. After being stunned just now, she quickly regained her indifference.
"So it's you. What are you doing here? Are you planning to come and bother our Aliang again?"
The sarcastic tone is still as uncomfortable as before.
Xia Zhichu just thought it was ridiculous. This was a public place, so why wasn't she allowed to show up?
Just as she was about to speak, Chu Tiantian came at her like a machine gun, "Auntie, this is Student Street. Could it be that your family is so wealthy that they bought the whole street? Or is it that your Shen Liang has become so successful that he is in charge of the entire university town?"
When it comes to sharp tongues, there are really few who can rival Chu Tiantian.
Mother Shen was so embarrassed that she pointed at Chu Tiantian and started to lecture her, "Who are you? I'm talking to my ex-wife, it's not your turn to interrupt."
"I'm Zhichu's friend. I'm warning you, since you know she's your ex-wife, then keep your mouth shut. Considering your Chen Liang's behavior, my Zhichu divorced him. It was a blessing from our ancestors that she was able to escape from the sea of suffering in time."
“You…you…”
Mother Shen was a fierce person, so she would not allow others to bully her. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to teach Chu Tiantian a lesson.
But she didn't know that Chu Tiantian was a black belt master in Taekwondo, and Shen's mother's move was undoubtedly asking for trouble.
Before the slap fell, Chu Tiantian grabbed her wrist and pushed her out with force. Mother Shen sat on the ground in embarrassment, and the thermal box rolled out directly.
Mother Shen fell and felt pain, so she started crying and making a fuss, "It's unfair, people on the street are bullying the elderly, everyone come over and judge!"
After hearing the cry, someone soon came over.
Mother Shen refused to give in and began to exaggerate her misery. "These two girls pushed me to the ground and cursed me to death. Why is my life so miserable? I rushed to the hospital to bring food to my son, but I ran into such cruel and vicious people."
The crowd grew larger and larger.
Everyone saw the lunch box rolling on the ground and Shen's mother lying on the ground, and started pointing at Xia Zhichu and Chu Tiantian.
Chu Tiantian didn't care, she looked at Mother Shen with her hands on her hips.
I had heard Zhichu say before how vicious this mother-in-law was, but I didn't expect that when I saw her today, she was not only vicious, but also no different from a shrew.
No wonder Zhichu was completely dominated by her. Not only did he have to do housework, but he also had to serve her.
The key point is that this old witch is very good at fanning the flames. It took her three years to break Zhichu's marriage apart.
Chu Tiantian had long wanted to meet Shen's mother, and today was such a good opportunity, how could she let it go easily.
The other person was playing the victim, so she followed suit, sniffing and saying, "Seeing isn't necessarily believing. Everyone, don't be fooled by this person. She ran over and bumped into me and my sister. It's obvious that she was trying to scam us and extort money."
When she said this, the looks of passersby changed.
This kind of thing is indeed uncommon. In addition, with the rapid development of Jincheng in recent years, the gap between the rich and the poor has widened too much.
There are always some people who stand by the roadside and extort money just to get something for nothing. So after Chu Tiantian said this, everyone began to question what Shen's mother said.
Mother Shen secretly cried out that it was not good. Seeing that the wind direction had changed, she quickly defended herself, "Don't listen to this woman's nonsense. The woman next to her is my ex-wife. Why would I touch their porcelain?"
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Xia Zhichu.
All of a sudden, everyone understood that it was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were having problems.
Many people are reluctant to get involved in such matters. After all, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most difficult to handle since ancient times, and no one wants to get into trouble for no reason.
But some nosy people kept harping on Xia Zhichu, saying that she could not push the old man down no matter what.
Xia Zhichu ignored everyone's words and looked at Mother Shen coldly, "If I were you, take the food and leave quickly, otherwise your precious son will starve."
Although Shen's mother was a bitch, she loved Shen Liang the most.
When she heard that her son was still waiting for dinner, she immediately stopped making a fuss, picked up the lunch box and left.
After just a few steps, he turned around and said to Xia Zhichu proudly, "It's a good thing for my son to divorce you. Only by getting rid of you can he find someone better. As for you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get married again after the divorce."
Chu Tiantian snorted, "Who said our Chuchu can't get married? She has already found someone better than Chen Liang. He is also a wealthy man, and most importantly, he is not a mama's boy."
Unfortunately, Mother Shen had already gone far away.
Xia Zhichu pulled his friend aside and said helplessly, "Tiantian, don't say that about rich second generation anymore. It would be so embarrassing if Si Mochen heard it."
"Why are you so embarrassed? It's obviously the truth. Can anyone who can buy a house in Yujing Garden with full payment be called an ordinary person?"
Chu Tiantian didn't believe it anyway.
She came from a good family and lived a life of luxury since childhood, living the life of a rich lady and coming into contact with many wealthy people.
Anyway, when she looked at Si Mochen, she always felt that he was not simple.
"By the way, Chen Liang is in the hospital?" Chu Tiantian asked curiously, suddenly remembering something.
Xia Zhichu was worried that her friend would act impulsively, so she concealed the fact that Shen Liang bullied her. Now that she asked him this, she simply told him everything.
At the end, Chu Tiantian lost her patience and her fists clenched until they creaked.
