Chapter 941 Grudge
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
A woman in her forties who suddenly approached them had a sword held against her throat, forcing her to kneel in fear. “Madam, I’m innocent! I’m just an incense seller!”
She then swiftly produced incense sticks from her bag, offering them with a smile and a hint of flattery. “Please buy some incense, Madam, please!”
From the incense shop, a woman in her thirties rushed out, brandis.h.i.+ng a broom. “Sun Guixiang, I’ve had enough!” She yelled, whacking the kneeling woman repeatedly.
“Sun Juxiang, you b.i.t.c.h!” Sun Guixiang, surprisingly nimble, stood and avoided the broom. Brandis.h.i.+ng her fist, she confronted his attacker. “I took you in, gave you a job! Yet you stole my opportunity and suppressed me everywhere. Today, I’ll beat you to death!”
The guards from both sides immediately intervened, ushering Zhou Ying to safety. They watched as the two women brawled fiercely, seemingly on the verge of killing each other.
Intrigued, Mingyu asked a nearby snack vendor, “Uncle, what’s going on? Why are they fighting, and why doesn’t anyone stop them?”
The vendor shook his head. “Nasty business. Anyone who tries to intervene with the sisters gets blackmailed. So, n.o.body bothers anymore.”
“Sisters?” Mingyu queried, surprised.
“Cousin sisters, I heard,” the vendor explained. “They just can’t stand each other anymore.”
“What happened?” Zhou Ying inquired.
“Sun Guixiang, a widow related to a temple maid, started selling incense here after the temple’s renovations. When Sun Juxiang, childless and evicted, came along, Sun Guixiang took her in and got a job selling incense. They lived well together.
“The trouble began last year. Shops were built at the mountain’s foot, and a fight erupted when they tried to buy a shop as it first came first served.
“They agreed to open a shop together, but after the New Year, Sun Guixiang hooked up with an old man and wanted to go solo, employing her cousin. Sun Juxiang refused, and the old man bought a shop solely for her, shutting Sun Guixiang out. That’s how the feud started. People tried to mediate, but they wouldn’t listen. Now, n.o.body cares.”
Zhou Ying frowned. “What about the old man? Can’t he do anything?”
“Haven’t seen him since they bought the shop. Probably busy elsewhere.”
Concerned about the commotion, Zhou Ying ordered two guards to stop the fight. She addressed the women directly, “Don’t you fear disturbing the Mother G.o.d and incurring her wrath? Continue this chaos, and you’ll face consequences..”
