Chapter 18 No one can beat you in shamelessness.
Chapter 18 No one can beat you in shamelessness.
She wanted to say something back, but then she thought that if things escalated, it wouldn't benefit her.
Since that's the case, and she has arms, she can take it herself.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you starting to rob me?"
"These country folk have no manners; they can't even understand basic human language."
Mu Xiaowan stopped just as she was about to scoop up some food, hearing the fat woman's cursing.
She turned around, looked at the fat woman, her eyes turned cold, but her tone was gentle, "Auntie, you're from the city, aren't you?"
Another city dweller who looks down on people from the countryside.
Mu Xiaowan looked her up and down. "But judging from your appearance, you're not a relative of the Chu family, because relatives are always seated at the head of the table. You're here serving tea and water, so you must be hired!"
So what if they're from the city? They can't even get a seat, yet they have the nerve to look down on others.
Whether they were hired or not, doing their job well is enough. It's a bit unreasonable to scold the new daughter-in-law of the host family.
"Today I'm getting married and joining the Chu family. If that's the case, then I'm your employer. You're paid to do things, so you should act like you're doing things right. How can you make things difficult for your employer like this?"
Mu Xiaowan's voice wasn't loud, but every word she spoke was forceful.
"Could it be that our Chu family didn't pay you enough? If that's the case, I'll talk to my in-laws for you. The Chu family is a prestigious family, they wouldn't shortchange you."
Mu Xiaowan's smile didn't reach her eyes.
Unexpectedly, the fat woman didn't realize where she went wrong. Instead, she became even more arrogant. "Hmph, I am a city person, but the Chu family is not a place that just anyone can come and go as they please. I am a member of the An family. The relationship between the An family and the Chu family cannot be measured by money. How would you country bumpkins understand?"
“Our Mu Xue and Captain Chu are a perfect match. If it weren’t for you interfering, they would be a perfect couple, a match made in heaven.”
Mu Xiaowan chuckled. So it was someone from the An family!
She casually asked a few questions and then introduced herself.
No wonder he treated her like that; he wanted to avenge An Muxue!
"You are the An family's nanny."
Having her identity exposed, the fat woman became somewhat flustered, and her earlier imposing manner weakened slightly.
But soon she stiffened her neck again, like a fighting rooster.
"So what? I've been with the An family for over ten years. They've long treated me like family. I'm not like those laborers."
Mu Xiaowan picked up a meatball and stuffed it into her mouth; she was just too hungry.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, her mouth watered, and her stomach rumbled in agreement.
Unexpectedly, she stepped on the fat woman's tail again, and she shouted in surprise, "You, who told you to take the food with your dirty hands? How are we supposed to eat if you make it dirty?" The fat woman reached out to push Mu Xiaowan.
Mu Xiaowan dodged slightly, then stood still, her watery eyes flashing with coldness, and said, "So you really are a nanny. So what if you're from the city? You're still working for someone else. The An family is all sitting in the front eating, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
“You…” The fat woman felt extremely insulted.
She pointed at Mu Xiaowan and was about to curse, but Mu Xiaowan slapped her away.
"Did I hit the nail on the head? Are you getting angry?"
“We are all the same, but you insist on arguing about status. In that case, let’s argue. Whether I am a country person or not, it doesn’t change the fact that I am the master.”
"And what about you, a city person? You're a nanny, and a nanny should do her job. What the master does is none of your business."
"You, a nanny from Anjia, not only insulted me but also stopped a member of the family from eating their own food. Do you think you're so capable?"
The overweight woman initially disregarded Mu Xiaowan, intending to vent her anger for An Muxue. However, An Muxue had been crying incessantly for the past two days, refusing to eat and weakening her body. She was deeply worried and just waiting for an opportunity to unleash her pent-up resentment.
I never expected this woman to be so formidable; she's absolutely furious.
"You, you, you're amazing. Who can be as shameless as you, using dirty tricks to get into a man's bed? No good woman would do that. Only someone like you who sleeps with anyone could do it."
"Shameless! Despicable!"
The fat woman raised her hand to hit Mu Xiaowan, but due to her size, she was not only as fat as a ball, but also had short arms and was a head shorter than Mu Xiaowan, so her speed was naturally slowed down.
Mu Xiaowan initially wanted to ignore it, but she had been inexplicably scolded. If she swallowed her anger, she would only hurt herself. Rather than regretting it later, she decided to vent her anger now.
She slapped the woman's hand away, wanting to slap the fat woman back, but then worried that if she used too much force, she would leave a handprint, which would be difficult to explain.
Her gaze fell on the fat woman's two large breasts, and she swiftly and decisively delivered a deadly pinch.
The woman's eyes widened in pain, and she opened her mouth to scream, but Mu Xiaowan quickly covered her mouth.
Just then, they heard a sound coming from outside. The fat woman glanced at Mu Xiaowan, and Mu Xiaowan let go.
To everyone's surprise, the fat woman suddenly revealed a smug expression.
Mu Xiaowan noticed the fat woman's eyes were fixed on a stack of plates beside her. She immediately understood, and in the blink of an eye, there was a "crack" sound. Mu Xiaowan took a few steps back, then covered her mouth and stared wide-eyed.
"Auntie, what are you doing? I just wanted to get some food for my family. If you won't give it to me, fine, but why are you getting so angry?"
"It's okay that the plate is broken, but what if you got hurt?"
Watching a lot of talkative and satirical TV shows does have its benefits.
The path of becoming a "green tea" (a derogatory term for a woman who exploits men for her own gain) left her with nowhere
Fat woman: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
She was completely baffled by Mu Xiaowan's actions.
This is what she has to do.
At that moment, steady footsteps quickened, and they entered within seconds.
Cooking takes place in a small room in the yard. It's cold, so a thick curtain is hung on the door, and only the back window is open for ventilation.
Chu Junbai lifted the curtain and paused when he saw the white fragments scattered on the floor.
His gaze then fell upon Mu Xiaowan, his eyebrows raised, and the shadows in his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Zhang Ma was following behind him.
Aunt Zhang looked surprised, then said with a hint of reproach, "How could you break a plate on such a joyous day? It's bad luck! How could you be so careless?"
When the fat woman saw that it was Chu Junbai, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she was about to cry and complain.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaowan sniffed and said in a weak voice, "Junbai, Aunt Zhang, this is not Aunt's fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have caused her trouble."
"I thought my mom and the others were tired too, so I thought I'd bring them some food and steamed buns after they ate something in their room and rested."
"The aunt said she was worried that there wouldn't be enough food for everyone, so she would cook more for everyone when the chef came."
"I said I'd take less food and more steamed buns. I saw the aunt was busy, so I wanted to do it myself. I didn't expect her to get angry. I'm really sorry. I grew up in the countryside and don't know the rules of the city. I'll learn them properly in the future."
Mu Xiaowan looked at the fat woman with a guilty look in her eyes and a pitiful expression.
"Junbai, don't blame your aunt. She was in a hurry and accidentally broke the plate. She really didn't mean to."
