Chapter 69 Fighting
Therefore, with the addition of pickled garlic, everyone returned their bowl twice, so that the noodles had to be cooked three times to be enough.

Xia Mingyue was quite relieved to see this.

Fortunately, I deliberately made a little more meat sauce.

The noodles were so delicious that Zhao Erhu couldn't help but say to Zhao Dahu, "If you think about it carefully, it's actually quite nice for Aunt Xia to stay here for a while."

At least the food has been significantly improved!

Zhao Dahu rolled his eyes at Zhao Erhu.

Look at your lack of ability. I only give you two bowls of mixed noodles.

Or maybe he is more ambitious, at least four bowls of mixed noodles...

The news that Xia Mingyue's family was building a house and repairing a courtyard wall quickly spread throughout the neighborhood.

Not only people in Xinghua Lane, but also people in several nearby alleys knew about this.

"I passed by and saw it the other day. The houses were built with blue bricks, even the walls were made of blue bricks."

"That's nothing. I heard that even the doghouse is made of blue bricks. Madam Xia even went to find a carpenter and ordered a large double-leaf wooden door. It seems that the gatehouse will be renovated to be more magnificent."

"This Madam Xia is really generous. She spent the money without blinking an eye."

"Don't say that. Madam Xia's food stall is doing so well and she's making a lot of money..."

"So what if you make money? Money is earned through hard work, not by the wind. How can you make a lot of money and spend it like this? Who knows what the world will be like in the future? Can you not save more money? She is not pregnant yet. When she gets pregnant and has a baby, she will have more things to spend. If she doesn't save some money, she will cry when the time comes!"

Zhang, who was passing by, blinked when she heard these words.

Are you saying bad things about Xia Mingyue?

Talk more, she loves to listen.

And if Lu Qiyan hears these words, he will definitely be unhappy and will punish you gossipers.

Zhang felt somewhat gloating, but was also stunned.

Wait, did it reach Lu Qiyan’s ears?
Zhang rolled her eyes for a while and stopped walking. "I think you guys are just too bored at home, and you just point fingers at others all day long."

"What's wrong with Madam Xia making her own money and spending it herself? How does it bother you? She doesn't know how to plan her own life, so why are you here to criticize her? I think you are just incompetent and can't make money, so you are jealous of Madam Xia's ability and are making up stories about her behind her back!"

After being accused, the woman who had just mentioned Xia Mingyue was a little angry and retorted, "Hey, did Madam Zhang's family move to the seaside? Why are you so nosy? I asked Madam Xia what happened to you, and you got so anxious?"

"Could it be that you are trying to curry favor with Madam Xia because she is able to make money and her family is wealthy? Unfortunately, even if you wag your tail happily, others may not be willing to throw you a piece of steamed bun."

Being scolded like a dog by others, Zhang's anger immediately soared up, "Your mouth is full of stench, did you eat shit secretly? No wonder my toilet has become half a meter shorter, it turns out it's because of this, this is good, from now on, none of us will need to call someone to clean the toilet, just you can come!"

When it comes to quarrels, she has never lost.

Come if you have the guts!
The scolded woman was not as good at talking as Zhang. She was so angry that her face turned red. "You are the one who is full of shit. You are a female demon who speaks dirty words. You think you are capable!"

"..."

The verbal abuse and quarreling grew louder and louder, and then stopped abruptly.

The woman was so angry that she couldn't scold Zhang, so she reached out and pushed Zhang.

Want to fight?
Unless I beat you, this bitch, into pieces, you won’t know how powerful I, Madam Zhang, am!
Zhang's hands were quick to catch up, and she immediately pulled the woman's hair off, and then scratched her face. The woman was no ordinary person, and she immediately hit Zhang in the face.

The two people immediately wrestled into a ball...

The man was beaten at noon and the news reached Xia Mingyue in the evening.

It's not particularly uncommon for Zhang to fight with others, but the reason for the fight is to protect Xia Mingyue, which is really puzzling.

Xia Mingyue and Lu looked at each other.

"No, Zhang used to think that our noses were not noses and our eyes were not eyes. Why did she suddenly start to protect you, my sister-in-law?"

Lu just couldn't figure it out.

Why did this person suddenly change?
Xia Mingyue thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "When Xia Ji opened, Zhang came to Xia Ji and bought a large portion of wontons. She also praised the food we made."

"Yes, I remember this. There were many people around and it was busy at the time. She didn't make trouble, so I didn't think much about it." Mrs. Lu said, "What's going on?"

"I thought, maybe Zhang saw Qi Yan coming back and said some bad things about me to him, so Qi Yan got angry and warned her." Xia Mingyue said her guess, "But this is just my guess, I haven't confirmed it with Qi Yan."

"Yes." Mrs. Lu nodded. "According to Zhang's personality, if she did this, Qi Yan would naturally not look at her in a good light. And now Qi Yan is the leader of the brigade, and her husband is the leader of the squadron. Maybe she will have to do things according to Qi Yan's mood. That's why she changed her personality and stopped finding fault."

"But Zhang Shi is also quite capable. She fought with others because she was protecting you, my sister-in-law. If this gets out, people will think that she is really treating me sincerely. We will have to say good things about her in the future. If this gets to Qi Yan's ears, Qi Yan will have to say good things about her, and my sister-in-law will have to accept her favor."

"Yes." Xia Mingyue said, "She is lying at home right now because she was injured in a fight. I have to go and take a look at her."

Otherwise, someone will poke your spine.

Xia Mingyue held her forehead with her hand.

This Zhang is indeed a very good abacus.

But it's better to go there and make some things clear, so that she won't have other ideas in the future.

Going to Zhang's house is considered as visiting a patient, so one cannot go empty-handed.

Xia Mingyue thought for a while and took some eggs.

In ancient times when material conditions were limited, eggs were hard currency.

Eggs are needed for making pancakes, and Xia Mingyue had a lot of them in stock, so she picked up a dozen or so, put them in a small bamboo basket, and went to Zhang's house under the cover of night.

Zhang was very surprised to learn that Xia Mingyue had come and brought things with her.

Then he was very happy and asked the child to take Xia Mingyue into the house, and told the child to make a bowl of tea.

"Madam Xia, please sit down." Zhang half-raised herself and greeted her, reaching out to take the stool nearest to her.

This action involved the ribs that were kicked by the woman, and Zhang grimaced in pain for a while.

This grin also involved the bloody wound on his face that had just scabbed over from being scratched...

Zhang gritted her teeth, and her face became a little distorted, as if she was wearing a mask of pain.
