My Wife is a Beautiful CEO

It was Yang Chen's first time seeing a shrew acting like this. He almost failed to react to the appearance of a commoner in a city.    

    

"You're looking to die …"    

    

Yang Chen was about to make a move, but Ma Guifaang, who was behind him, stopped him.    

    

"Yang Chen, go away!"    

    

Ma Guifaang angrily pushed Yang Chen away and reprimanded him, "This is not something you should care about! You go back! When did I become your mother-in-law!? I have nothing to do with you! "    

    

Yang Chen felt depressed, she was bullied, she was slapped on the face, why is she still angry at him!?    

    

"Mom, she's already like this, but you're still blocking me!?" Yang Chen was so angry that his voice trembled.    

    

However, that fierce woman coldly snorted, "So he's actually not even a son-in-law, chasing after her daughter without letting go. That's right, even a mother of an age can be such a fox charmer, maybe a daughter would be too seductive."    

    

Seeing that Yang Chen was about to go up again, Ma Guifaang quickly blocked him. She turned around and said solemnly, "Auntie Zhou, I think you misunderstood something. But you can't say this to my daughter, slandering both of us."    

    

It was really hard for Yang Chen to say anything after being blocked. How could he be stopped by Ma Guifaang? However, the key point was that the situation was different. He couldn't be too overbearing and wasn't suitable to cause a large commotion, so he had to endure for a while and see what was going on.    

    

"That's right, old partner. It really isn't what you think …" The old man hurriedly tried to persuade him.    

    

"Shut up!" The ferocious woman's mouth was crooked as she said, "You still say there's nothing to worry about. Ever since this fox spirit came here to work, you would come here every two or three days to either send me some garlic or some dried beans and skin. As long as this fox spirit doesn't come to our shop to borrow stuff, you will worry about whether she's feeling well or not. I've been your wife for decades, why don't you ask me if I'm feeling well!"    

    

Old man Zhou's face reddened, but he said with grievance, "Old partner, how could I be what you think? I saw Guifaang come all the way from the Sichuan Province alone, and did not have a husband to take care of her. It was hard work on her own, how could I have the heart to do that …"    

    

"Didn't she have a daughter to look after her? I need you!? " Madame Zhou slanted her mouth and said: "A widow does not have many men by her side. Furthermore, she is much prettier than me, an old woman. How could I not know what you are thinking? Normally, when you gave her some side dishes and ran back and forth, I would pretend I didn't see it. Yet, today, when I returned, you even gave me a plate of flesh and bones for free! You think I'm dead, don't you!? "    

    

"I, ah, the weather hasn't been good these few days. I see that Guifaang's body is a little weak. I want her to stew some soup to nourish it. I really don't have …" Old Man Zhou had an awkward expression on his face as he stuttered.    

    

Sister-in-law quickly cut in and advised, "Auntie Zhou, please don't misunderstand. Guifaang went to your store to borrow dishes, but we didn't have enough people. How about I go there myself next time, or let my wife go there? "Guifaang isn't the kind of person you think she is …"    

    

"A Xiang, we've known each other for many years, don't lie to me!" Aunt Zhou angrily said, "Ask your heart, she, Ma Guifaang, has been working on our street for the past few days. There are few old men who don't care about her." As the old saying goes, there are too many troubles in front of the widow's door. I was making this up. If she really didn't have any ulterior motives, why would so many people secretly talk about her? "Believe it or not, even if you don't want Ma Guifaang to borrow food from other stores, other people would still try to get close to her!"    

    

Sister-in-law was momentarily at a loss for words. She stiffly turned her head to look at Ma Guifaang and fell silent …    

    

It was obvious that Ma Guifaang's gossip had spread for more than a day or two. Besides, there had been a lot of people visiting the shop these days, so everyone knew exactly why.    

    

Ma Guifaang's face alternated between green and white for a while, but the tears in her eyes did not fall. However, the more she did so, the more unspeakable the sadness she felt.    

    

Standing at the back, Yang Chen suddenly remembered something …    

    

He remembered that when he came to find Ma Guifaang, she went to the nearby restaurant to borrow some vegetables. At that time, he thought that Ma Guifaang's expression was unpleasant when she came back, but he didn't ask her for the reason.    

    

As for the restaurant she went to, it was a restaurant with the surname 'Zhou'.    

    

From the looks of it, Ma Guifaang had already been scolded and cursed by the Zhou woman, causing her expression to turn ugly.    

    

However, Ma Guifaang was a tenacious woman and treasured a rare opportunity to work. She probably didn't want to mention it, in case Mo Qianni didn't want her to continue working in the store.    

    

Ma Guifaang, as Mo Qianni's biological mother, had a pretty face when she was young, but now, as she was almost a hundred years old, regardless of her figure or looks, she had the charm of a middle-aged and elderly woman. The temptation of these girls was indeed great, and it was not hard to understand why.    

    

Taking a deep breath, Ma Guifaang forced a smile and said, "Auntie Zhou, I, Ma Guifaang, am not an innocent person. I've explained it clearly here today, it's really nothing to your family's Old Zhou, and I've already cooked all the meat and bones for the customers in the kitchen. I've only come here from the outside and have no culture, so I want to earn some money here so that my daughter won't be held back. If you really don't want to see me, I'll change my mind and find a place to do business from a distance, what do you think? "    

    

When Aunt Zhou heard Ma Guifaang speak to her in such a low tone, she couldn't bring herself to be angry. She coldly glanced at her and said, "You're the one who said that. I was just making a fuss in this shop out of respect for A Xiang. However, Ma Guifaang, let me remind you, there are many sisters in other shops who are against you. You'd better be careful and do things like borrowing food or something, and do it as little as possible in the future! "    

    

Ma Guifaang nodded emotionally, "I know, thank you so much Aunt Zhou, I will take note."    

    

After Aunt Zhou's anger was almost gone, she pulled old man Zhou away and turned around to leave. Old man Zhou was rather scared and didn't even dare to look at Ma Guifaang. He had a pitiful look on his face.    

    

Seeing the Zhou couple leave, Sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ma Guifaang, "Sofia, I'm sorry. "Don't take it to heart too much. Aunt Zhou, she has a straightforward personality. If she's not comfortable, she'll just say it out. She's purely angry and doesn't have any malicious thoughts. Her way of doing things is much better than some people who are still talking behind the scenes."    

    

Ma Guifaang smiled and replied, "It's fine. I'm not a helpless little girl. You can go and get busy, after all the hardships you've endured over the past few years."    

    

Sister-in-law sighed and shook her head before turning around to continue settling the accounts.    

    

Ma Guifaang turned around and looked at Yang Chen. "Follow me."    

    

Yang Chen immediately followed. He was also holding back his anger. Just now, when Zhou Hengniang was about to leave, he wanted to slap her back, but he was afraid that Ma Guifaang would be displeased, so he could only endure it.    

    

Ma Guifaang followed Ma Guifaang to a quiet place outside the back door of the kitchen. Only then did she stop and turn around. "Why? From the looks of it, you seem even more unconvinced than I am?"    

    

Yang Chen gritted his teeth and avoided Ma Guifaang's gaze. Naturally, he found it hard to accept this, as he had a plan in his mind. When he left later on, he would go and slap that Zhou Han woman no matter what.    

    

Ma Guifaang smiled bitterly, "I know what you're thinking. Actually, I have to thank you for thinking so much for my sake. But Yang Chen, do you think this is the first time I've been slapped on the face by someone because of this?"    

    

Yang Chen's mouth opened, "Could it be that someone else is hitting you here?"    

    

Ma Guifaang let out a sigh as if she found it funny. She touched her face and said, "Ever since my first husband, the father of my daughter, died. Even during the years I was married to Zhang Fugui, I've been beaten up a lot by some village women. Hehe, Zhang Fugui is a gambler, and is wandering around the village, so he rarely comes home. When I'm alone in the village, it's hard to avoid having contact with some people, they think that I'm trying to seduce their man, and they haven't read a book or said a word, so it's normal for me to hit them.    

    

"How can they be like this …" Yang Chen clenched his fist and felt a sharp pain in his heart.    

    

Such a past, the woman said with a smile, what sort of mood was this?
