MTL - It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother-Chapter 33 Fang Ling's selfishness
Xiao Xiao has seen what a person can spell.
At three o'clock, Xiao Xiao saw that Mo Dai swallowed a large bowl of warm salt water while resisting her sore throat, then straightened her gown and climbed up the stairs to the second floor with a smile on her face.
Xiao Xiao's eyes followed Modai's figure all the time, his eyes were full of worry.
"What? Are you afraid of Mo Daxi's desperate efforts?" Fang Ling stood behind Xiao Xiao at some point.
"Yeah!" Xiao Xiao nodded vigorously, still looking at the second floor, "Oh, why bother Daxi? In life, you can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Why bother... Ouch! Shopkeeper, it's okay Why are you kicking people?"
"I kicked you? I still want to slap you!" Fang Ling raised his hand to slap Xiao Xiao's face, but Xiao Xiao hurriedly avoided it with a smile.
"The little one did nothing wrong, why do you still want to smoke? It doesn't make sense!" Xiao Xiao rubbed the hind leg that was kicked by Fang Ling just now, with a look of grievance on his face.
"Are you ashamed to be wronged? If the helpers in this building think like you, muddle through, don't think about making progress, and don't work hard at all, my restaurant still makes a lot of money? What's the use of you if you don't make money? Then you I have to pack up my bed and go home and eat myself! If you have time to worry about Mo Daxi here, why don't you hurry up and greet the guests!" Fang Ling wanted to lift his foot to kick over, but Xiao Xiao dodged quickly.
On the second floor, Mo Dai cleared her throat. As soon as she opened her mouth, it became a comic effect. Her voice was hoarse than yesterday. It was like Sister Moon from a modern children's show suddenly turned into a teacher from the storytelling channel, Shan Tianfang. Such a huge sound contrast immediately hit the laughing hole of some guests who came to listen to the book the day before yesterday and heard it now. First, there was a "puchi" to lead the way, and then there was a roar of laughter.
Mody is embarrassing, is this booing today?
Let alone the guests, including Fang Ling himself, his shoulders trembled when he heard Modai's hoarse voice like a ninety-year-old woman, and then he pretended to hold back.
In fact, Mo Dai's thoughts couldn't be more simple, that is to say good books, otherwise there will be no money to take, and now it makes people laugh, it's really a surprise. No, we have to turn the situation around quickly!
Mo Dai closed her eyes, thinking that what she said these two days were all short jokes, most of the people had already heard them and understood all the plots of the stories, that's why she laughed so casually. If she wants to talk about the book for a long time, she must say a long story, and then at the end of each day, she will say aggressively, "If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down."
Mo Dai thought darkly, I will make you laugh, I will make you scratch your lungs and jump with anxiety!
"Cough cough," Mo Dai resisted the discomfort in her throat, said hoarsely without changing her face, "Everyone, what I want to say today is different from the previous two days, let me speak slowly—"
This time, Mo Dai is talking about "Journey to the West", the characters have been slightly changed, the four masters and apprentices are still there, but the gender is changed to women, and the four masters and apprentices are all practitioners who will never marry for life. Before thinking of telling this story, Mo Dai was actually a little worried that people here would not be able to accept such a setting.
This is a world where there are more men than women and few women. The existence of women is very important. The laws of the country specifically stipulate that women are not allowed to marry, and they must marry more. Of course, the Great Moon Dynasty is not without women who will never marry Therefore, nuns who practice in temples are women who will never marry for life, and the laws of the country cannot control nuns. Speaking of which, there are still quite a lot of temples in Yunguo, so the number of nuns who practice is quite considerable. On the one hand, the Da Yue Dynasty respected the wish of the nuns to practice, and on the other hand, they encouraged the nuns who had not yet been married to return to the vulgar world. Once they returned to the vulgarity, the official matchmaking field would marry these women who re-entered the secular world. The man who married each woman The number of people varies, but only a few more.
Of course, Mo Dai's worries are superfluous. People who listen to the book have a good acceptance. They are used to hearing real stories, and suddenly they come to a fantasy one, and the effect is surprisingly good. As the storyline progresses, they become obsessed again.
Fatty Bai greeted a guest to take a seat, and was about to go to the kitchen to serve food, when he overheard the guest beside him regretfully saying that he was late today and hadn't grabbed a seat to listen to the book. Fatty Bai immediately squinted at the second floor, ahhh, the villain is successful, let me see how long Mo Daxi can go on!
The fat white man came back with the food, and heard the guest praise Mo Daxi for his good looks, good figure, good temper, good voice, and everything. Straight to that guest's head.
At this time, another guest came, and the fat man put down his food in a hurry, and greeted him with a smile.
"Guest officer, please, look at the heavy rain outside, come here, I'll hold an umbrella for you!" The fat man put away the oilcloth umbrella for the guest, shook the water casually, and accidentally threw it on the body of another visitor. She was taken aback, and hurriedly apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose..." The fat man was talking, when he suddenly looked up and found a country woman in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, her rags were covered in patches and her whole body was covered in mud. People, immediately accepted the words of apology, and turned to be angry, "Ah, this guest officer, our building is full, please find another store!"
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves to drive people away.
Mo Guihua had seen the disdainful face of the little second mother when she drove away the poor many times before, and she had already made up her mind to be driven away before she came. She immediately turned to leave, but she hadn't seen Daxi yet, so she couldn't leave.
"This little girl, I'm a neighbor in the same village as Mo Daxi. I have something urgent to do with her. Could you please call her out?" Mo Guihua wiped the cold rain off her face, and rushed over all the way. She fell down several times, and no part of her body was dry. She didn't feel it when she was on the road, but now she was blown by the wind, and her teeth chattered from the cold.
"What neighbor? I don't know each other, hurry up, don't affect our business!" The fat man hated Mo Daxi the most, his ears instinctively filtered out the word Mo Daxi, and he drove Mo Guihua away impatiently.
"I, I can't go, I really need to find Mo Daxi for something urgent, please accommodate me..."
"Are you going? If you don't leave, I'll call the nursing home to clean you up!" The fat man glared at Mo Guihua with disgust, this country bumpkin is really hard to deal with!
"I really can't leave, I really need to find Mo Daxi for something urgent..." Mo Guihua gritted her teeth and endured the white fat man's scolding and blank stares, she stood in front of the building and refused to leave.
When Fang Ling came down from the second floor, he happened to see Fatty Bai flirting with Mo Guihua, and Mo Guihua was dressed in rags as a typical country woman. , didn't you lower the grade of Fumantang?
"Xiao Xiao!" Fang Ling yelled toward the second floor, and when Xiao Xiao trotted towards him, he ordered in a low voice, "Go and help Fatty Bai drive away the country woman at the door, don't mess around in front of the building, Affect the mood of the guests!"
Xiao Xiao ran outside the building and said something, and ran back after a while. Fang Lingchao glanced outside, then glared: "Why is that woman still there?"
"The shopkeeper, she, she came to look for Daxi, and said that she is from the same village as Daxi..."
Xiao Xiao was talking, but was dragged to a secluded place by Fang Ling. The businessman's intuition made her feel that things had changed, which might affect Fu Mantang's business: "What did she say?"
"The house of Daxi's family has collapsed... Ugh!"
"Hush! Keep your voice down!" Fang Ling covered Xiao Xiao's mouth, obviously smiling as elegantly as usual, but at the moment it seemed extremely sinister, "Go and tell the woman outside the door, just Said that you will pass on her words to Mo Daxi, let her go back first!"
Xiao Xiao stared blankly at Fang Ling: "The shopkeeper..."
"Hurry up!" Fang Ling pushed Xiao Xiao, watched Xiao Xiao say a few words to Mo Guihua, Mo Guihua looked into the building suspiciously, but turned around and left after all.
Fang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the second floor. It was a joke, Mo Daxi just started to say, how can we let her leave now? If the house collapses, it will collapse, and if it can't be built, it will be destroyed. It's not like someone died!
Fang Ling's inner thoughts at the moment can be described as cruel and ruthless. She is a businessman, and her goal is to make money. What does the hardship of ordinary people have to do with her!
Modai had been talking for an hour, and when she finally said domineeringly "Please listen to the next chapter", unfortunately, she was hit in the chest by a ten taels of silver ingot thrown by a rich and powerful person. The man clasped his fists in a bow, and then decisively stuffed the silver ingot into his sleeve pocket.
When Mo Dai went downstairs to rest and drink water, Xiao Xiao ran over to tell her what Mo Guihua said, but was interrupted by Fang Ling again. Xiao Xiao was secretly anxious, but Fang Ling suppressed him so tightly that he dared not speak, his face was so suffocated that it was ugly.
"Xiao Xiao, are you feeling unwell?" Mo Dai's hoarse voice made Xiao Xiao feel sad and almost burst into tears.
"No, no, hehe..." Xiao Xiao shook his head, but found it difficult to laugh.
"That's good." Mo Dai found that Xiao Xiao's smile was uglier than crying, more precisely, Xiao Xiao seemed to really want to cry. For some reason, suddenly, a trace of uneasiness surged in Mo Dai's heart.
Xiao Xiao didn't dare to speak in front of Mo Dai, let alone look into Mo Dai's eyes, so he simply ran to greet the guests for Fatty Bai. When Fatty Bai saw Xiao Xiao coming to help, he was naturally happy to see the result, so he directly let Xiao Xiao work in the lobby alone, while he slipped aside to be lazy. The fat man saw Mo Dai sitting in a secluded corner leisurely sipping tea and eating snacks offered by the guests, he felt sour in his heart, his mean face reappeared immediately, and he said sarcastically: "Tsk, look at the bird that some people are proud of now , don’t worry if the house at home collapses, it’s really a shameless thing!”
Mo Dai, who was drinking tea from a teacup, suddenly shook her hands, the teacup slipped off, and a whole cup of hot tea was splashed on her chest.
"Hmph, you're guilty! Just now a woman named Mo Guihua ran to Fumantang in the rain. It's a pity that someone was on the second floor at the time. Alas, pity that country woman... Huh? Someone Don’t you know? Xiao Xiao promised to tell someone for Mo Guihua..."
"Fatty White!" Xiao Xiao suddenly roared, and the guests present couldn't help but sweep over in amazement.
The fat man tore off the rag from his shoulders: "Why are you yelling at me? Did I say something wrong? You obviously..."
"Bai Fatty!" Fang Ling's voice came coldly, Bai Fatty shrank his neck, threw the rag in his hand to his shoulder again, and went out of the building to greet visitors in a desperation.
Mo Dai didn't speak, but just stared at Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao's scalp was numb from her look, just about to look away, suddenly saw a bitter and helpless smile from the corner of her mouth, Xiao Xiao couldn't hold it anymore, Suddenly, he slapped himself twice: "Daxi, blame me, I'm not human, I'm not human, I'm not human..."
"Hey, I told her not to tell you in a hurry!" Fang Ling looked at Xiao Xiao, so he felt that the "not human" in Xiao Xiao's mouth was referring to her, and felt very uncomfortable, "If you want to go back, I have a carriage in my backyard."
Mo Dai still didn't speak, just bowed deeply to Fang Ling and went to the backyard. When she raised the curtain, her figure swayed obviously unsteadily. Fang Ling's heart became more and more uncomfortable, and he felt more and more that Xiao Xiao's "not a person" was referring to her.
"Xiao Xiao, I remember you know how to drive a carriage, right? You send Mo Daxi back!" Fang Ling put his hands behind his back, pretending to be calm.
"Hey! Thank you shopkeeper, if I don't do something for Daxi, I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive myself in this life... woo woo..." Xiao Xiao actually started to cry as he spoke.
"Dignified girl, cry whatever you want, you don't think it's ugly!" Fang Ling glanced at Xiao Xiao in disgust, "If you can't come back today, you can stay at Daxi's house for one night, and come back tomorrow!"
Soon, Xiao Xiao drove the carriage and disappeared into the heavy rain.
