Chapter 3334: The Others Call Us Beggars
A few bucks for an egg pancake, but she had to push her cart out at five in the morning.
Ma Shuangshuang was still groggy, being led along by Ma Lanlan, following beside Ning Shu.
Ning Shu made a pancake for Ma Lanlan and asked, “Lanlan, do you have any close friends in your class?”
Ma Lanlan took a bite and said, “No.”
“Not even one?” Ning Shu didn’t believe her.
“None that’s really close. There’s one girl, but her family is really poor too. We talk sometimes, but the others call us beggars.”
“They say if they talk to us, they’ll become poor too.”
Ning Shu: …
Kids could be cruel with their words.
“Take a pancake to that girl later.”
Ma Lanlan asked worriedly, “Will we be able to sell our pancakes?”
“Take it slow. No rush,” Ning Shu said, smiling as she sat on the stool.
As school time approached, more and more people passed by. Since her stall had just appeared, there weren’t many customers yet.
Ma Lanlan took a pancake and went to school—it was for her classmate.
Ning Shu stayed at her stall until noon when Ma Lanlan got out of school. She ran up and asked, “Mom, how’s business?”
“It’s okay.”
“Niudan said your pancakes taste great.”
“Some classmates even asked me where they came from. I told them my mom sells them,” Ma Lanlan said, her face flushed with excitement.
Ning Shu patted her head. “Things will get better and better.”
The only fear was that one person would be running forward with all their strength, while another held onto their legs, refusing to let them move.
The mother and daughters had to resolve the issue of Ma Yongjun if they wanted to live a normal life.
When Ning Shu pushed the cart back to the neighborhood, she saw Ma Yongjun downstairs, grabbing people and telling them that she hit and abused him.
The surrounding neighbors all knew what kind of person Ma Yongjun was, so they didn’t believe a word he said.
Ning Shu: Looks like he needs another lesson!
Ma Lanlan trembled with anger, ran over, and shouted at Ma Yongjun, “You’ve always been the one hitting Mom! When has Mom ever hit you?”
“You and your mom are on the same side. Whatever she says, you believe!”
Ning Shu pushed the cart over and said repeatedly, “Stop making a scene. I know you’re upset that I went out to work, but you need medication every day, and medicine costs money. Plus, we have two kids to support.”
The commotion attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Seeing so many people around, Ma Yongjun became bolder and pointed at Ning Shu, saying, “Tell everyone how you treat me! You take advantage of my illness and beat me!”
Ning Shu sighed helplessly and said, “I didn’t. Are you missing a piece of skin or flesh? Just come back home with me.”
She reached out to pull Ma Yongjun’s hand, but he shook her off so hard that she fell to the ground.
“Mom!” Ma Lanlan quickly helped Ning Shu up, glaring at Ma Yongjun angrily. She wanted to speak, but Ning Shu stopped her.
“Lanlan, take your sister home.”
Ma Lanlan shot a hateful look at Ma Yongjun, then led her sister away.
“Look at what kind of daughter you’ve raised! She doesn’t even respect her own father. If she gets any older, will she grab a knife and hack at my neck?!” Ma Yongjun shouted, furious just thinking about Ma Lanlan’s glare.
“The way she looks, who knows if she’s even mine,” Ma Yongjun spat, sending a glob of phlegm toward Ning Shu’s shoes.
