Chapter 3317: Making It Happen by Any Means
This kind of job, which required both smooth-talking and a heart hardened enough to deceive, wasn’t suitable for Huang Jing from the start.
Huang Jing had her eyes on the commission, but if she couldn’t earn it, it was pointless.
Ning Shu took the money and left.
Besides, Huang Jing had always rejected this job in her heart.
As long as one party was interested, they would pay the matchmaker to help seal the deal. If successful, the payment was substantial.
And the matchmaker never cared about the paying party’s conditions or character—only about making it happen by any means.
As for whether they would be happy in the future, that wasn’t their problem.
Ning Shu went to the market to buy some groceries. Near noon, prices were much lower.
Since she got paid today, she bought some pork ribs to make a stew.
Looking in the mirror this morning, she had noticed that this body was really pale and thin.
Life was already miserable enough—there was no need to suffer through bad food too.
Eat first. When the time came, things will work out.
With all her skills, was she really going to starve?
After buying groceries, Ning Shu went to pick up the kids from school.
She first picked up Ma Shuangshuang from kindergarten, then waited at the school gate for Ma Lanlan.
Ma Lanlan waved at Ning Shu from the school entrance, her face beaming with joy.
Clearly, she was still excited about Ning Shu promising to buy her new things earlier that morning.
Ning Shu pushed the bicycle over, and Ma Lanlan climbed onto the back seat.
Ning Shu called out, “Sit tight, let’s go!”
She stepped on the pedals while Ma Lanlan held onto Ning Shu’s clothes and Ma Shuangshuang sat in front, giggling happily.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but laugh as well.
When they got home, Ma Yongjun was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea, leaning back, eyes closed, leisurely listening to a radio broadcast.
The moment the two children saw Ma Yongjun, they immediately lowered their heads and hid behind Ning Shu.
“Where have you been? It’s this late, and you still haven’t cooked? You trying to starve me to death?” Ma Yongjun opened his eyes and glared at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu gently nudged the kids forward and said, “Go play in your room. Mommy’s going to cook.”
Ma Lanlan took her sister’s hand and walked close to the wall, not daring to go near Ma Yongjun.
Ma Yongjun glanced at his two daughters. Just one look made Ma Lanlan shudder as she quickly pulled her sister into the room.
Back then, Ma Yongjun had beaten Ma Lanlan so badly that her whole face was bruised.
Ning Shu went to the kitchen to cook. Just now, she had taken a glance at Ma Yongjun—he had the face of a textbook domestic abuser.
She had been a Taoist priest before. While she wasn’t an expert in physiognomy, she knew enough to recognize the signs.
Ma Yongjun had a narrow, flat forehead, high cheekbones shaped like blades, protruding eyes, and messy eyebrows.
They say a general’s forehead was broad enough to race a horse on. A narrow forehead usually indicated a petty, intolerant person who lacked generosity and had poor luck in life. When unhappy, they tend to vent their anger on others.
High cheekbones often belong to mean-spirited people. If the face was thin like a blade, it suggests a ruthless, ungrateful character.
Protruding eyes and messy eyebrows—
People with bulging eyes that look as if they might pop out when angry are typically short-tempered, lack self-control, and resort to violence easily.
Messy eyebrows indicated a person who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, had no reasoning skills and used fists instead of words.
In short, Ma Yongjun had the face of a villain.
It was the kind of face that screamed “bad guy” at a glance.
Ning Shu had originally bought pork ribs, but since Ma Yongjun was home, she naturally wouldn’t cook them.
Otherwise, they’d all end up in his stomach.
