My strategy failed, so my bestie introduced me to a tough officer.

"Aunt Qin, I want to eat noodles."

"I want to drink soy milk."

Ever since Aunt Zhang got a membership card, she has been taking her grandson Xiaobao to the noodle stall every day to eat noodles and drink free soy milk.

Xiaobao was unhappy because he couldn't eat that day.

Aunt Zhang had no idea what to do with Xiaobao, so she took Xiaobao along to ask for directions, and finally found the Three Flowers Hotel.

"Hanmei, your business has grown so big, will you stop selling noodles in the future?"

Xiaobao was making a lot of noise and Aunt Zhang looked embarrassed.

"Before, I took Xiaobao to your noodle stall every day to eat noodles and drink soy milk. Now Xiaobao loves eating your noodles and soy milk. If I don't give them to this little bastard for a day, he will get angry."

"Hanmei girl, I know you're busy today, but I really can't do anything about this little bastard. Could you please spare some time from your busy schedule to cook him a bowl of noodles like you did before?"

"Aunt Zhang, it's too formal for you to say that."

"Without the support of our neighbors and regular customers, there would be no Three Flowers Hotel today."

"When you drink water, remember the well-digger. We'll still be selling noodles at the Three Flowers Hotel."

"Today is the grand opening day of our Three Flowers Restaurant. To thank our neighbors for taking care of us, the three of us sisters launched an opening event."

Qin Hanmei pointed at the big red poster on the glass wall.

Aunt Zhang looked at the direction where her finger pointed and could only recognize a few words on it.

"Hanmei girl, your Aunt Zhang has limited education and can't understand that big-character poster. Please explain it to Aunt Zhang."

As soon as Aunt Zhang finished speaking, an old face was reflected on the glass wall.

Yu Shuixian walked over with a cane, her yellowed old eyes staring at the big-character poster on the wall without blinking.

"Hanmei girl, your ex-mother-in-law is here."

"This old woman came to you today, she must have no good intentions."

"Be careful of her."

After Aunt Zhang quietly reminded Qin Hanmei, she turned around and sneered at Yu Shuixian.

"Hey, isn't this Youfu Niang?"

"Mother Youfu, why are you coming here instead of staying at home?"

"You've been staring at this big-character poster. Do you understand what it says?"

Seeing Aunt Zhang's sarcastic expression, Yu Shuixian glared at her fiercely.

"Whether I can see clearly or not is none of your business."

"I'm warning you, don't meddle in other people's business."

"Yu Shuixian, who doesn't understand your little thoughts?"

Aunt Zhang held her grandson's hand with one hand and pinched her waist with the other hand while scolding Yu Shuixian.

"Seeing that my ex-daughter-in-law opened a restaurant and became a big boss, you came here to try to get a piece of the pie."

"I bother."

Aunt Zhang spat at Yu Shuixian.

"Shameless old woman."

"Your second son died of illness, and you called Hanmei a jinx and cruelly kicked her out of the house. Now that she's opened a restaurant and become a boss, and has become rich, you come and take advantage of her. How can there be such a shameless old woman like you in this world?"

"Hanmei girl, don't be soft-hearted. Don't give even a grain of rice or salt to this vicious old woman."

Qin Hanmei has always been easy to talk to.

For fear that Qin Hanmei would feel soft-hearted, Aunt Zhang turned around and tried to persuade Qin Hanmei after scolding her.

The hotel opens today, and Qin Hanmei doesn't want Aunt Zhang and Yu Shuixian to argue in front of the hotel.

She smiled and took Aunt Zhang's grandson Xiaobao's hand.

"Xiaobao, call grandma and Aunt Qin into the house. Aunt Qin will cook noodles for you."

"Auntie Qin's restaurant is opening today. New customers get one bowl of noodles for free, and regular customers with membership cards get two bowls free, plus free soy milk."

Although Xiaobao is young, he is very smart.

He quickly understood what Qin Hanmei said.

"Grandma, I'm hungry. Let's go in with Aunt Qin quickly."

Xiaobao's chubby little hands tugged at the corner of Aunt Zhang's clothes.

When Aunt Zhang heard that old customers with membership cards could have two bowls of noodles for free today, she no longer had the mood to argue with Yu Shuixian.

She and Xiaobao ate one bowl, and the other bowl could be packed and taken home for her son and daughter-in-law to try.

"Hanmei girl, are you losing money by giving back to customers so generously?"

Aunt Zhang followed Qin Hanmei inside, worried that Qin Hanmei would lose money.

Qin Hanmei smiled and replied, "We'll probably lose money today. Without the support of our neighbors, there would be no Three Flowers Restaurant today. We three sisters are willing to lose money for even one day."

Seeing Qin Hanmei and Aunt Zhang, the grandparents and granddaughter, walking in chatting and laughing, and not paying any attention to her ex-mother-in-law, Yu Shuixian was so angry that she cursed at Qin Hanmei.

"Qin Hanmei, you bastard, you have no conscience. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for treating your mother-in-law like this?"

Yu Shuixian threw away her walking stick and sat down on the ground.

"Everyone, come and see, the daughter-in-law is bullying the mother-in-law."

"My son died young, and this woman took advantage of the fact that she opened a restaurant and became a big boss. With a little money in her hand, she bullies an old lonely woman like me."

"I am such a pitiful old lonely woman."

Bayi Street is very lively early in the morning.

Yu Shuixian sat on the ground and wailed a few times, and the passers-by quickly gathered towards the Three Flowers Hotel.

In a short while, the entrance of the Three Flowers Hotel was blocked by onlookers.

"Meimei, did you get beaten?"

"Sister, are you okay?"

Yun Jiaojiao, Lin Qingluo, Zhao Biao, and Aunt Lanhua heard the noise and came out.

Zhao Biao took two steps at a time and walked to Qin Hanmei, looking at her with worried eyes.

Yun Jiaojiao and Lin Qingluo walked up to Qin Hanmei, and the two of them protected Qin Hanmei on the left and right.

Aunt Lanhua was holding a big broom in her hand.

"I'm fine."

Seeing that everyone was so concerned about her, Qin Hanmei felt a warm feeling in her heart. The unhappiness brought by Yu Shuixian was instantly swept away because of everyone's protection.

"Auntie, the ground is cold, please stand up and talk."

"Auntie, if you have suffered any injustice, please stand up and tell us."

"In this new society, it's not popular for mothers-in-law to torture their daughters-in-law, nor is it popular for daughters-in-law to abuse their mothers-in-law. Auntie, if your daughter-in-law really abuses you, we will send you to the Public Security Bureau to see the police and let them come forward to seek justice for you."

"Go to the Public Security Bureau, haha, that's a good idea."

Aunt Lanhua gave a thumbs-up to the people who were talking.

"Yu Shuixian, do you dare to go to the Public Security Bureau with these kind-hearted people who helped you and ask the police to come forward and seek justice for you?"

Aunt Lanhua's question made Yu Shuixian dare not speak.

Yu Shuixian glared at Aunt Lanhua resentfully.

This old woman Miao Lanhua really likes to meddle in other people's business.

Being so nosy, it’s no wonder that men die early and can’t find a life partner.

Seeing that Yu Shuixian didn't say anything for a long time, several people who sympathized with her became shaken.

"Is there something else going on here?"
