Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Fanning the Flames 2

Wang Erfeng had no shame, and she loved to spout nonsense; there was no vicious word she couldn’t bring herself to say.

Anyone who offended her was out of luck; she could fabricate an endless heap of truth and lies, and although everyone knew only about two of every ten things Wang Erfeng said were true, when they did hear something unpleasant, they still believed a little bit of it.

Passed from one person to another, the rumors would eventually be taken as truth.

After listening to the stall owner’s words, Lu Siyuan scoffed disdainfully, "She just hasn’t encountered someone tough enough, otherwise a good teaching would put her in her place, and we’d see if she dares to continue."

"Who would dare?" the stall owner sighed, "Early this year, there was a young wife with a fierce temper who dared to confront Wang Erfeng. In response, Wang Erfeng fabricated a story about her having an affair with another clothing vendor’s husband. After the rumor spread, the poor woman was beaten by her husband so badly she couldn’t continue her business."

If it weren’t for examples like this, why would everyone be so wary of Wang Erfeng?

She too had moved to this side out of fear that Wang Erfeng would make up rumors about her.

"That man is also a scumbag, why not hit Wang Erfeng instead of his own wife?" Lu Siyuan said angrily, "If it were me, I’d knock out a few of Wang Erfeng’s front teeth."

It didn’t matter to him whether Wang Erfeng had two sons or even four; he wasn’t afraid of them.

Against such an old witch, violence was the needed suppression; otherwise, she’d think no one could handle her.

"You two," the stall owner laughed, "are so young, you don’t understand." These two kids were still young; how could they understand the thoughts of adults!

Which man wouldn’t beat his own wife upon hearing she was involved with someone else?

Who would bother to investigate who started the rumors?

Shen Mianmian quietly listened to the conversation of the three, and then asked curiously, "If you all have such grievance towards her, why not band together and report her? If you unite in reporting her, you’d surely be successful; as long as people stop renting her a stall, she won’t be able to do business here anymore."

"Eh..." The stall owner felt enlightened by Shen Mianmian’s words, and their eyes suddenly lit up, "Nobody’s taken the lead, and we haven’t thought about it in this way, but you’re right, this really is a good idea."

On the surface, everyone wanted to live in harmony and preferred fewer problems, but if someone were to lead the way, everyone would be eager to report Wang Erfeng.

Shen Mianmian decided not to dwell further on the topic after bringing it up, smilingly reminding the stall owner, "Boss, you still haven’t given us our change."

The stall owner, reminded by her, realized they had been holding onto the change this whole time, so preoccupied with talking that they hadn’t given it to them, and apologized with embarrassment, "Look at me, I got so caught up talking. Please don’t take offense!"

Despite their plain attire, these two kids were generous when shopping, buying two sets of clothes at once.

Others would haggle over every little thing, perhaps buying just one item at most.

That’s why they say!

When doing business, one shouldn’t judge by appearances; some people from wealthy families, afraid of showing their wealth, prefer to keep a low profile.

After receiving their change, Lu Siyuan, carrying the items, walked with Shen Mianmian away from the stall.

Shen Mianmian needed to use the restroom and told Lu Siyuan to wait for her by the ox cart. Lu Siyuan, concerned, insisted on accompanying her, which left Shen Mianmian somewhere between laughter and tears.

"I can still recognize the way for such a short distance; stop fussing and just go ahead and wait for me."

Having a man stand outside waiting while she used the restroom during broad daylight was unnecessary; she didn’t have that problem.

"Alright then, be quick about it," he said.

Shen Mianmian often went to the restroom alone, so Lu Siyuan didn’t think much of it, and after leaving a quick remark, he headed for the ox cart. After all, they had asked someone else to keep an eye on it, and it wouldn’t be good for them to be away too long.
