957 At Most, I Will Take a Break

The lady boss was certain that Qiao Yu did not have the guts to put her neck under the knife. At the same time, Qiao Yu knew what the lady boss was thinking. As long as she was able to eat meat today, she would do anything! After all, she was Qiao Zhuang’s child and had been brought up in a shameless family.

Qiao Yu prepared herself mentally. She closed her eyes and suddenly threw herself at the lady boss’s knife, scaring the lady boss so much that she threw the knife behind her. If she had been any slower, Qiao Yu would really have died!

“Are you sick of living! This is a knife! Do you have to go so far just for that bit of meat!” the lady boss roared in exasperation.

Qiao Yu was actually feeling very scared. She could have died, but she must get meat today! She was not going to back off!

The lady boss was so angry and gnashed her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. As the old saying went, only birds of a feather would flock together. Qiao Yu’s shameless and shrewish behavior was simply a combination of how Su Yang and Old Madam Fan behaved! She was even more terrible than the two of them! No wonder Su Yang was interested in her.

Business owners like them were most afraid of running into two types of people. One type was unreasonable and shameless people, and the other type was people who were not afraid of death.

The neighbors quickly ran out to advise the lady boss, saying, “Sister, just give her some meat. Take it as you’re feeding the dogs. It’s useless for you to reason with such a person! How are you going to explain yourself if she really dies in front of your shop?”

“I don’t care how she explains herself! It’s not like I’m the one who killed her! What can I do if she wants to die at my door! Do I have to die with her!” the lady boss said angrily.

The neighbors quickly pulled the lady boss away and said, “Calm down! Don’t we all just want good things to happen? It’ll be so unlucky if she dies. Just treat it as you’re feeding the dogs. Let’s take it as doing good deeds and accumulating good karma! Even if the police come, it’s not helpful to you. They might even close down the shop and do a thorough investigation! The authorities are very strict about such things now!”

The lady boss thought about it and felt that what the neighbors said made sense. However, what if Qiao Yu saw this as her weakness and came to make demands every day in the future? Would she then need to satisfy Qiao Yu’s demands every time? It was not as if there were meat scraps every day. It was considered good enough if there was even a little bit every half a month!

“No, dogs know how to be loyal if I feed them. But if I give in to her now, she will come here every day to ‘cry in mourning’. Not only is there no benefit, but I will be at the losing end! I really won’t be able to explain myself then!” the lady boss said.

The lady boss looked at her shop and then at Qiao Yu, who was sitting at the door. She picked up the butcher knife from the ground and entered the shop, shouting loudly to the customers, “This is the last batch of meat today! After we sell everything, we’ll close the shop and take a break! If you want to buy it, then hurry up! If you buy more, we’ll give discounts! It’s the last day!”

After all the customers left after buying meat, the lady boss did not even look at Qiao Yu. She closed the curtains and locked the main door before turning around and returning to the backyard to rest.

Who could fault her if she stopped doing business for a while? She did not believe that Qiao Yu would be able to hold on until she reopened the shop. At most, she would stop doing business for the rest of the week and take a good break.

If Qiao Yu really sat at the door of her shop and froze to death, then it would have nothing to do with her. It was Qiao Yu who refused to leave, and she did not force Qiao Yu to sit there. Did she have to take responsibility for anyone who died on the street outside the shop door?

The people standing around gradually dispersed when nothing exciting happened. Qiao Yu could not achieve anything at the door alone. She got up dejectedly and returned home. After sitting on the snow for a long time, her pants were all wet. This was the only pair of cotton pants she found among the pile of tattered clothes.

“How petty! What’s the big deal about giving me some meat! Black-hearted woman! You’re willing to feed the dogs, but you’re not willing to give it to me! It’s not like I don’t intend to pay! I’m giving you respect but you don’t want it! Who do you think you are! Do you really think I think highly of the meat you sell!” Qiao Yu muttered as she dried her pants by the stove.

In the past, such a method was usually quite useful. She always saw her brothers and sisters-in-law using this method, especially Wang Qin. As long as she wailed in the village, she could have whatever she wanted. Why was it that this method did not work in the capital? Was she not vicious enough with her words? She would scold more fiercely next time. She was sure that she could succeed after trying it a few more times.
