Chapter 26: Becoming Famous in One Battle
The content of Shi Xiaoai's words was so profound that the people around her forgot their initial fear and started chattering again.
The tea stall is located at the entrance of Yunhe Lane, and many of the people around are old neighbors who have lived here for decades. The Shi family's affairs are not a secret to begin with, and too many people know about it!
So those who knew about it began to tell the story vividly, and those who had never heard of it also listened with great interest.
It was still the very beginning of the 1980s, and the suffering that had just been experienced had left an indelible scar in people's hearts.
At that time, there were many families who violated human ethics and broke off relations against their own wishes, but most of them did it for show.
In the hearts of ordinary people, nothing is more important than the love between family members. Therefore, even in such a situation, almost all of them, like Mr. Shi, would secretly provide their family members with help to the best of their ability.
At the very least, after the suffering is over, the family will be reunited and become a family again.
There are very few people like Shi Laoer's family who are so indifferent to the eldest brother and the descendants left by him, not to mention that he even ignores his own father.
So after learning the truth, everyone looked at Zhao Cuihong with a different look, filled with deep contempt. Some people who could empathize with Shi Xiaoai even spat at her.
Zhao Cuihong never expected that Shi Xiaoai would be so heartless as to make all the dirty things in the family public.
To be honest, she didn't take Shi Xiaoai seriously at all when she came here today. She just came here to intimidate her.
This little girl got the house left by her father-in-law before she came back. After she came back, she immediately paid off the company's debt and bought a grave for her father-in-law.
That’s not all, it’s only been a few days and she’s already opened a tea stall!
Not to mention that it was public property, Zhao Cuihong and Shi Laoer's family all knew it was just a cover. They had all inquired and found out that Shi Xiaoai had signed an agreement with the office. Although it was under the banner of public property, every penny she spent to open this stall was her own.
Where did she, a widow who had lived in the countryside for ten years and had no husband and was raising two children on her own, get so much money?
If Zhao Cuihong said that it was not secretly left for her by her father-in-law, she would never believe it even if she was beaten to death!
Although she and her husband went back to search after her father-in-law died, they found nothing and had no idea where the old man was hiding.
At first, none of them knew that the old man would do something like this at the last minute. He actually left the house to this dead girl while they were not paying attention!
If they had known, they would have stayed by his bedside for half a year and not given him such an opportunity!
Because of Shi Xiaoai's affairs, the couple couldn't eat or sleep for the past two days, and the more they thought about it, the more suffocated they felt.
Her husband was so angry that blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth. He got angry every day at home for no reason, and she got beaten several times for it.
Today, it was Zhao Cuihong who took the initiative to come over to inquire about the news. She thought that as an elder, she had taken the initiative to show goodwill, so the girl had to give her some face.
She pinched her nose and gave Shi Xiaoai a few good looks first. After a few more interactions, she would ask her how much money the old man had left her. She would definitely be able to find out by then.
Once the question is really asked, we will have to talk again about how to divide the money in the end.
Who would have thought that before she could even open her mouth, she was beaten up by this damn girl!
The more Zhao Cuihong thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and she felt like she was about to die.
She lay on the ground, groaning: "I can't live anymore, someone's been beaten to death! Beat me to death, I won't live anymore!"
Even when the onlookers pointed at her and some cursed her, she closed her eyes and pretended not to hear, showing the ultimate in shamelessness.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Ai was really angry. She stepped forward again, grabbed Zhao Cuihong's cotton jacket and pulled her up from the ground.
Zhao Cuihong, who had just closed her eyes and pretended to be dead, was suddenly frightened and screamed loudly. She danced with joy and no longer looked half-dead.
Shi Xiaoai lifted her up in the air, swung her back and forth, and then threw her away with all her strength as if she were a bag!
There was a splash, and Zhao Cuihong fell into a weed pile. She bounced twice and then didn't move anymore.
Although Shi Xiaoai acted rashly, she knew what she was doing.
Both the throwing action and the landing position were calculated in advance. At most, it would scare the old woman but would not really hurt her.
After all, she is in her forties. If she is seriously injured, it will only cause trouble for herself.
Seeing Zhao Cuihong lying there motionless, Shi Xiaoai knew she was just pretending to be dead, so she shouted, "Stop pretending. I didn't use any force, and you're not hurt. There are so many people watching us, don't try to blackmail me.
But if you want to do something bad, that's fine. If you're not afraid of death, just keep coming. Come once, I'll beat you up. Come twice, I'll beat you up twice! If you don't believe me, we can try it!"
Zhao Cuihong was really scared this time. She didn't dare to come back, but left in shame. The tea stall returned to peace.
But this calmness is only superficial. Shi Xiaoai becomes famous in one battle and instantly becomes a mythical figure in Yunhe Lane.
So much so that for several days after that, the three of us could feel the omnipresent scrutiny of people around us as we walked on the street, with curiosity and amazement...
The two little guys admired their mother to the extreme because of this matter, and they were so proud that their chests puffed up a little when they walked.
Across the street from the tea stall is Yuncheng First People's Hospital, the largest and most technologically advanced hospital in the province. It's said that all seriously ill people in the province choose to come here for treatment.
So it can be said that this place is open all year round, with people coming and going every day.
Even though it's not yet the end of the Lunar New Year, which is arguably the hospital's slowest business time of the year, the whole street is still bustling with people constantly lining the hospital entrance.
This is why Shi Xiaoai insisted on opening a tea stall here.
The income in the first few days of opening was quite good. On the first day, because it was just opened, there were firecrackers and shouting, and the total sales were 2.7 yuan. On the second and third days, the sales were a little more than 2 yuan.
Perhaps the more people there are, the faster the news spreads. Her business in the next few days was even better than the previous three days.
On the first Sunday, we actually sold three pieces!
At first, Xiao Ai didn’t know what was going on, but later she heard that it was because her “reputation” had spread further and further.
Now everyone nearby knows that there is a tea stall at the entrance of Yunhe Lane, and the stall is run by a beautiful young woman.
Don't be fooled by the daughter-in-law's quiet and delicate appearance. She is actually a powerful person with immense strength!
With just a swing of his hand, he could throw a living person several meters away, and with a slap, he could knock someone unconscious!
As such gossip spread, it attracted many curious people.
Gradually, Xiao Ai discovered that someone had secretly formed a group to visit her.
