Blissful Days After Widowhood

Ge Dalong was a man from Hanshan Town.

Eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, that was all his hobbies, and he had no money.

Fortunately, his honest uncle and aunt set up a stall to sell food on the pier. Because they had set up stalls for a long time, they rented a very good location early, and the business had been booming. They didn’t have any children, but they had this young, strong and generous nephew.

He could not only eat every day in the past, but also “help” to collect some money from the guests.

Relying on it, he had a very good life.

When he arrived at the pier as usual, he found that there were fewer people at the stalls of his uncle and aunt than usual.

He flipped over the steamer and took a steamed bun, and sat down at the table again, shouting, “Why are there so few people today? Uncle give me a bowl of noodles.”

Aunt Ge couldn’t get used to his appearance of eating for nothing, threw the things in her hand bitterly, and replied, “Our business can’t be done, you are still here giving orders.”

Uncle Ge gave her a hand, swiftly filled out a bowl of noodle soup, brought it to Ge Dalong and said, “You have soup first, and the noodles will be ready after a while.”

Ge Dalong was shameless, so he didn’t blame his aunt’s attitude, “It’s difficult to do business in this world, and my uncle and aunt are getting old. Why don’t you transfer the stall and collect dozens of silver to support yourself?”

Aunt Ge glared at him and said nothing.

It was true that the couple were really old, and they couldn’t do the work for too long. When the business was good, the oil cakes and steamed buns on the stall were often not enough to sell. Although they also invited people to help, they couldn’t take apprentices at their age, and could only ask those who already knew some craftsmanship. But not to mention the high wages for those skilled in craftsmanship, how could they be willing to help people work for the rest of their life? It didn’t take long before they set up their own stalls.

And the couple’s stall was not transferable.

It was because they had a daughter back then, but when she was five or six years old, she was kidnapped by abductors.

At that time, their daughter knew that her parents set up a stall in the best position on the pier.

If they moved out, what if their daughter came back?

And with a rascal like Ge Dalong, if the stall were to be transferred, who would pay the transfer fee?

The husband and wife knew only to cook some food. Although their craftsmanship was good, they were not so good that they could earn a lot. It was really hard to say what would happen in the future without that stall.

Ge Dalong took a sip of the soup and then asked, “Uncle and aunt have set up this stall here for decades, why didn’t people buy much?”

“It’s because of a new mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Yesterday, they sold wontons, and today they are selling porridge and steamed buns. All the people were full of praise, so our business will naturally be affected.”

Aunt Ge deliberately exaggerated a bit.

That was good business for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but it didn’t affect them too much as it was an inconveniently located stall behind.

In fact, the bleak business was mainly due to the fact that there was a lot of work on the dock that day, and the coolie merchants were in a hurry, so most of them bought good food and ate noodles slowly.

In fact, the oil cakes and steamed buns had almost been sold out.

She just wanted to cry that she was poor. It was best to let Ge Dalong, the God of plague, help them in the stal!

Sure enough, Ge Dalong stopped eating as soon as he heard that.

He felt really anxious. He had already regarded his uncle and aunt’s stall as his own. If their income was less, didn’t it mean that he would earn less?

“Where are the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who dare to steal the business? I will go to them!”

Uncle Ge hurriedly grabbed him and persuaded him, “Don’t you know the rules of this place? You’re going to get into the yamen for causing trouble!”

Ge Dalong took his hand away carelessly, “I know what you mean, but it takes a quarter of an hour for people to come from the yamen. Is it not enough time to deal with them for me?”

He was used to being stingy in town, and he was more familiar when he entered the jail than when he came home.

However, the trouble he caused every time was not that big. Every time he was beaten, he would come out after two or three days.

So he wasn’t too afraid of going to jail, so he swaggered away after saying that.

Uncle Ge stomped his feet in sorrow, turned his head and saw the old wife also put on a sad look, complaining, “Now you know what will happen? Our Ge family has only this son, and if something happens, I would be ashamed to see my parents!”

Aunt Ge really regretted it, but what she thought was completely different from her husband’s- This scumbag didn’t come out of her stomach.

It was just that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were innocent. Especially the little daughter-in-law who was embarrassed by the evil mother-in-law, how could she withstand Ge Dalong’s bullying?!

How could she feel at ease by implicating innocent people?

People came to the stall one after another, and Aunt Ge greeted them, but she still had this matter in her mind, so she took off her apron, shoved it into Uncle Ge’s hand, and hurriedly chased out.
