Even More Unreasonable Than Old Madam Yu

The next morning, they had breakfast.

Madam Sun went to Hunter Jiang's house to borrow a handcart and happened to bump into Jiang Lin loading prey onto an ox cart. When he heard that Madam Sun was bringing Yu Xiaolian to town to sell baskets, he drove the ox cart to the Yu family's door to stack up the baskets.

Yu Changhe and Jiang Lin quickly loaded more than 40 wicker baskets onto the cart.

Jiang Lin asked Madam Sun and Yu Xiaolian to get on the carriage, but Madam Sun said that the ox cart was loaded with too many things. She could just walk. She asked Yu Xiaolian to get on the carriage and even said that she would walk slowly.

Jiang Lin advised, "Auntie, there seem to be a lot of things in this cart, but they're actually not heavy. Hurry up and get in the cart, lest you delay the good time to sell things."

Madam Sun thought about it. If she went to the market to sell things, she would have to be early. She was afraid that she would delay Jiang Lin from selling wild animals, so she quickly got into the ox cart and sat down.

The prey was not like a basket. If they could not sell it, they could still bring it back. If they kept the game for two days, it would stink.

Seeing that Yu Xiaolian and Madam Sun were sitting steadily, Jiang Lin whipped the ox's butt with a short whip and drove the ox cart towards town.

Just as he reached the village entrance, he heard someone shouting Jiang Lin's name.

Jiang Lin stopped the ox cart and saw that it was Madam Ma from the same village. Madam Ma carried a basket full of eggs and stopped Jiang Lin's ox cart.

"Coincidentally, I'm going to town. What a coincidence. I'm really lucky and don't have to walk. Coincidentally, my hip bone has been hurting badly recently. Jiang Lin, I'll take your cart."

As Madam Ma spoke, she pushed the wicker basket towards Yu Xiaolian without waiting for Jiang Lin to say anything. She squeezed out a space and sat on the ox cart with her fat butt.

Everyone in the village knew that the Jiang family's ox cart cost two copper coins per ride. However, Madam Ma always had an excuse not to pay. She didn't say that she would pay next time. Instead, she said that her five sons were too poor.

Usually, Jiang Lin and Hunter Jiang were unwilling to pull Madam Ma along, but this person was too thick-skinned. No matter what you said, her face would not turn red.

"Auntie, two copper coins for the cart!"

Jiang Lin had learned his lesson this time and asked Madam Ma to pay first. Otherwise, Madam Ma would run faster than anyone else when they arrived.

Madam Ma placed a basket of eggs on her lap and hugged it carefully. When she heard Jiang Lin asking her for the fare, she immediately pulled a long face. "Child, we haven't reached the place yet, right? When we reach town, I'll naturally give you the fare. Now that I've given it to you, what if you chase me down halfway?"

Jiang Lin said impolitely, "My family has changed the rules. You have to pay first before taking the cart. If you don't have money, get out."

Madam Ma did not expect Jiang Lin to be so direct. He did not give her any face at all. She said to Jiang Lin awkwardly, "This child… Why are you so petty? I was planning to introduce you to my niece after some time. You've really wasted my effort!"

Jiang Lin felt disgusted. Madam Ma loved to take advantage of others and was unreasonable. Everyone said that her niece would resemble her aunt in the future. How could her niece be any better?

He didn't want her even if she was free.

"Introduce her to me? You have five sons and four of them are single. If you have the time, you should worry about your own son! If you don't get down, I'll drag you down!"

Jiang Lin pretended to pull Madam Ma off the ox cart. When Madam Ma saw that Jiang Lin was serious, she said loudly, "Don't worry about me asking. Did Madam Sun and Xiao Neng give you the money for the ox cart?"

Madam Sun quickly took out four copper coins. "Here, the fare!"

Jiang Lin pushed Madam Sun's hand back. "Auntie, I don't want it."

Madam Ma could not take it anymore. "Hey, Jiang Lin, why are you treating me so differently? You don't want Madam Sun's money. You only want mine, right?"

Jiang Lin didn't say anything else. He walked past the ox cart and went to pull Madam Ma off. When Madam Ma saw that Jiang Lin was angry, she was afraid that she would break the eggs. She said loudly, "I'll pay. I'll pay for the cart, alright?"

As she spoke, she found two copper coins from the handkerchief that was wrapped with money and handed them to Jiang Lin. She muttered, "To be honest, my hip has been hurting recently. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much money on this lousy cart!"

Jiang Lin did not want to earn these two copper coins from Madam Ma at all, but he thought that it would be a waste of time to pester her here, so he took the money and started the ox cart.

Seeing Madam Ma glaring at her, Madam Sun couldn't just stare at her. She said, "Sister-in-law, why has your hip been hurting recently?"

"Sigh, it's all because I gave birth to my fifth son back then. I didn't sit properly during my confinement period. This hip bone crack is like a spastic wind. It hurts terribly."

Although Madam Ma's family background was not good, she had always thought that she was superior to others. It was because she had given birth to five children in a row, all of which were sons.

She was very proud!

If someone in Hewan Village gave birth to a daughter, Madam Ma would inevitably mock them sarcastically. She thought that a person who gave birth to a daughter was useless and unlucky.

"Madam Sun, it's not that I want to criticize you, but your Brother Kuang has been dead for so many years. Why aren't you pregnant yet? Is it your problem or Yu Changhe's?"

Madam Sun's expression changed. "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about my family."

As she spoke, Madam Sun turned her head away from Madam Ma's face. Out of sight, out of mind.

"Pfft!" Madam Ma spat on the ground. "An old hen that can't lay eggs might as well be killed and eaten."

Madam Sun was so angry that she wanted to retort, but she held back.

Madam Ma was famous for being unreasonable in Hewan Village. She had seen many famous scenes of Madam Ma throwing a tantrum. Madam Sun was actually a little afraid of Madam Ma.

Yu Xiaolian was sitting behind Madam Ma. There were a few wicker baskets between her and Madam Ma. When she saw Madam Ma bullying Madam Sun, she naturally couldn't tolerate it. She quietly took out her electric baton and adjusted the microcurrent. She stretched out from the gap between the baskets and hit Madam Ma's butt.

Madam Ma's entire body trembled. She loosened her grip and the egg basket in her hand fell out of the car.

"Ah, my eggs… my money…" Madam Ma roared and jumped off the ox cart.

Seeing that the basket of eggs was broken into pieces and none of them were good, Madam Ma almost fainted from anger.

Oh no, the eggs were gone, and there was no need to sell them. She had wasted two copper coins on the cart.

Madam Ma scolded Madam Sun, "You hen who doesn't lay eggs. You plotted against me. You pushed me. You have to compensate me with money!"

Madam Sun's back was facing Madam Ma, so she didn't know what had happened at all. When she heard Madam Ma shouting, she realized that Madam Ma's egg basket had fallen.

"Sister-in-law, you didn't hold the basket well yourself. How can you blame me?"

This person was really unreasonable. However, Madam Sun was not a pushover.

Madam Ma knew that Madam Sun did not do it. At that time, for some reason, she felt her entire body throbbing. Her hands did not listen to her and she could not hold the egg basket.

However, she couldn't waste the eggs for nothing. Someone had to take the blame. Seeing that Madam Sun didn't admit it, she pointed at Yu Xiaolian and said, "If you didn't do it, it was this little unlucky star. I must be crazy to dare to sit in the same cart as her. I don't care. You have to pay for my eggs today."

Madam Ma was even more unreasonable than Old Madam Yu. Yu Xiaolian regretted not turning on the maximum electric current just now.

Madam Sun said coldly, "I don't have money. I can't give it to you even if I have money. You didn't hold it yourself and broke the eggs. You can't blame anyone else."

"I don't have any money. Isn't there a carriage full of wicker baskets? The baskets belong to me now, so it's considered a surcharge," Madam Ma said as she went forward to move their baskets.

Yu Xiaolian stood up from the car. When Madam Ma rushed over, she kicked Madam Ma in the chest, causing her to fall back.

Madam Ma's body was fat, and she was lying on her back. For a moment, she couldn't get up. Yu Xiaolian didn't even look at her and said to Jiang Lin, "Make the cart go faster. Let's go."
