Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

Chapter 299 Treating People as Fools

I really enjoy lying down at home, but Ms. Lin and my second aunt always think that I am "unsociable" and are afraid that I will get bored, so they urge me to go out whenever they have the chance.

"Hey, you two had a pretty good relationship with that class monitor in high school, why don't you go out and play with her?" Ms. Lin said while trimming her trouser legs.

"She has a partner, why should I drag her out? Am I supposed to be a third wheel between them?" I leaned on the sofa and browsed my phone. It felt so good to buy blind boxes for Kuku.

"What about the junior high school classmate you mentioned before who had a very good relationship with you?" Ms. Lin asked again.

"Her sister is getting married, and she's busy being a bridesmaid."

"Look, look, those who have a partner have a partner, those who are married are married, no wonder you don't go out to play, it turns out you can't find a companion!" Second Aunt couldn't help complaining, and then "attacked" Ms. Lin, "Isn't this the 'evil' you sowed? Whose children are busy with family affairs every day when they are in junior high school and high school, and now they don't even have a true friend? Children in rural hometowns can still have time to go out and play with the people around them, but Lin Lin makes you two act as babysitters! She doesn't have any time for herself!"

I defended Ms. Lin: "Second Aunt, this has nothing to do with my mother. It's just my personality. I don't want to go out."

"Ah, who made you like this? It's your family. They thought I didn't go to school and didn't understand. Parents nowadays don't care about teaching their children the principles of life, but they also despise their children for not being able to socialize. They really think that schools can teach everything. They always think that their children are self-taught and will know everything when they enter society. Bullshit!"

My second aunt has really impressed me time and time again. I dare say that 80% of people can't achieve this kind of awareness.

There is no movement from Ms. Lin. Well, she is blaming herself again...

"Okay, I'll go out and have some fun. Go shopping or watch a movie by myself. Come on, give me some money~" Ms. Lin's pearls were worthless. Before they fell off in large quantities, I moved closer to her in a coquettish manner. Ms. Lin immediately burst into laughter and asked, "Bank transfer or cash?"

"It depends on how convenient it is for you~" Of course I have money, quite a lot, but that doesn't stop me from asking Ms. Lin for it.

With the thousand yuan change that Ms. Lin gave me, I walked out leisurely. The county town is so small, and I planned to run farther.

I am not surprised by the rule that I will always meet acquaintances when I go out. I am even used to it. But when I saw Cheng Xingmin selling fried skewers at a stall on Nanhu Street, I was still quite shocked...

He actually managed to do the job that he used to despise the most? ? !

It's totally unheard of... a fairy tale!

Chen Ruyue was standing next to him helping him. What a wonderful sight! I took out my cell phone and took several photos.

The business here is not as good as that in the snack street, but it is barely OK during the Chinese New Year, excluding Cheng Xingmin's stall... From the situation, the business can be said to be almost non-existent. There are people in groups of three or four in front of other stalls, and some are even queuing, but there is no one in front of Cheng Xingmin's stall. Chen Ruyue wiped the table of the stall back and forth with a rag. From my angle, I can see that it is wiped shiny, but it still can't attract anyone.

I scoffed. What's the point of looking clean? Will diners buy this snack just because the stall is clean? His fried skewers are "clean"...

The three brothers in Chengjia have a bad character. If you don't give up this and that in the catering industry, it's strange that you can succeed. No matter how much money I have, I will not buy a fried skewer with only two quail eggs on it for three yuan! Even Shanghai dare not sell it like this!

I really don’t know whether Cheng Xingmin is stupid himself or he thinks everyone is stupid like him.

As for the taste... heh... just look at the few spice jars next to him and you'll know the taste is definitely not that good. Besides, Cheng Xingmin's cooking skills are terrible...

Cheng Antai has studied cooking, so he can still guarantee the taste no matter how much he cuts corners. Cheng Xingmin’s “cooking skills” are just to make things cooked. It’s not that he can’t cook, but he thinks so from the bottom of his heart. If he is asked to cook three meals a day for a family, he can use a bag of 250 grams of salt for half a year, and a bottle of 500 milliliters of light soy sauce until it expires with half a bottle left; not to mention the oil. When I was hospitalized in high school, I was “fortunate” to eat a bite of the extremely mushy scrambled eggs he made with “apology”... After that, I didn’t want to see eggs for at least a month...

I showed off my three-stick sausage for five yuan, and stood where Cheng Xingmin and his wife could not see me, observing them. A tourist passed by his stall, looked at the ingredients, looked at the prices, shook his head and walked away.

Perhaps because there had been no business for a long time, Cheng Xingmin was a little anxious and started shouting, "Buy one string and get one string free."

The trick worked, and one or two diners started to pick.

I watched coldly, not taking it seriously, ready to laugh at his joke.

The diners seemed to be a father and son. Chen Ruyue handed a bunch of freshly fried chicken wings to the little boy with the most gentle smile. The little boy blew on the chicken wings, took a small bite, and then spit it out, pulling the corner of the man's clothes next to him, "Dad, it's not cooked..."

I almost laughed out loud. Cheng Xingmin’s only “advantage” of cooking the food was gone.

The chicken wings were not even fried well. I seriously suspected that Cheng Xingmin had even turned the fire to the lowest setting. The oil temperature could not rise enough to make it cooked.

The man over there had already started arguing with Cheng Xingmin. Cheng Xingmin was still arrogant even at this point, and didn't think he was wrong at all. Chen Ruyue next to him was about to kneel on the ground and kowtow to apologize, but Cheng Xingmin was still stubborn and refused to admit that it was his fault.

The man was obviously not someone to be trifled with. He grabbed Cheng Xingmin by the collar and punched him in the face.

Chen Ruyue tried her best to stop the fight and followed them out. The moment she came out, my expression froze and the starch sausage in my hand no longer smelled good.

I didn't notice her the last time I saw her in the vegetable market. The weather was warm today and I was only wearing a thin coat. She was wearing a turtleneck sweater and an apron. She had a good figure and tears were still hanging on her face. She looked so pitiful.

If you ignore her slightly bulging belly...

A supervisor had already come to deal with the conflict, and Cheng Xingmin had already paid compensation. The conflict was resolved, and the crowd dispersed. Cheng Xingmin carefully hugged Chen Ruyue and returned to the stall, helped her sit down, and patiently comforted her.

This scene hurt my eyes. Cheng Xingmin, my biological father, had never been so gentle to anyone, not even to Ms. Lin, let alone me. But now he was comforting his newlywed wife with eyes full of heartache.

I didn't pay too much attention to who Cheng Xingmin was gentle to, I paid more attention to Chen Ruyue's belly. She was pregnant, and according to her current relationship with Cheng Xingmin, the baby in her belly was my and Cheng Xinyuan's half brother or sister.

I don't want to admit it, but it's the truth.

I have even thought about how many people will morally blackmail Cheng Xinyuan and me after this child is born, saying things like blood is thicker than water and the child is innocent... Once this child is born, Cheng Xinyuan and I will face endless troubles.

I didn't even notice that my eyes had changed from playful at the beginning to cold and sinister now, exuding a dangerous aura.
