Chapter 661: The Arrival of the Town Mayor

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Really? How does she have the audacity to come here and chatter away? She has no shame, spreading idle gossip and always poking her nose into other people’s business. These days, all sorts of people exist. If it were me, once I said I wouldn’t come back, I would definitely keep my word.”

These words were not directed at Aunt Zhou, but she knew they were about her. The two women who had accompanied her also understood, their faces flushing slightly, their previous confidence diminished.

Mother Lin and Li Hua were not fools. From the conversation, they deduced that many of the rumors that had spread from the village to the town were propagated by this Aunt Zhou and her minions.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lost any remaining shred of goodwill they had for Aunt Zhou. They had not interacted much before and had thought her to be quite friendly. Now, they realized her friendliness was a facade, and she was a petty person. They were disgusted.

As for Aunt Zhou, she dropped her pretense. She had lived in this town for most of her life and had never been humiliated like this. When was it not her who decided what was right?

However, she recognized the two workers from previous fights at the construction site. She dared not confront them directly, knowing she would be at a disadvantage if it came to blows.

So, Aunt Zhou targeted Li Hua and her mother-in-law, hands on her hips, eyes fierce, pointing at them and shouting, “You two, you don’t appreciate kindness, do you? You’ll regret crossing me. If I bring my cousin-in-law, the town mayor, he’ll drive you out of this town. Let’s see how you’ll make money then!”

The commotion drew Aunt Yang out of her shop, still holding a spatula. Seeing that the troublemaker was Aunt Zhou again, she didn’t look pleased.

She had heard plenty about Aunt Zhou from the townsfolk during her time in the shop. Aunt Zhou had bought braised meat from her shop once or twice, but Aunt Yang had no particular memory of it.

Aunt Yang smiled and said, “You think I was a women’s director for nothing? I’m not worried about the town mayor. I just wanted to avoid trouble. It’s my old weakness of being soft-hearted. But as soon as I offered to apologize to her, I regretted it. People like her shouldn’t be indulged. In your daughter Gu Zi’s words, my thinking still needs to improve.”

Aunt Zhou sat with a stern face, glaring at them. Seeing that they were ignoring her, she felt her authority was being seriously challenged. She wouldn’t sit quietly. Whenever a customer came in, she would say, “Go ahead, eat. This might be your last meal here. Once my cousin-in-law, the town mayor, arrives, this shop will be closed. If you eat here, you’re against me. I’ll remember all of you!”

She kept causing a ruckus, disturbing everyone who was eating or buying braised meat. Some people, fearing her, didn’t dare to come in. Those who did come in ignored her and went about their business.

After a while, the town mayor arrived. He entered Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop with a serious expression and hurried steps, followed by Aunt Zhou’s two lackeys.

Seeing her backer had arrived, Aunt Zhou immediately put on a victimized expression. She stood up and rushed over to the town mayor, “Brother-in-law, you’re finally here. You must stand up for me today!”
