Upon hearing this, Boss Ma scoffed, "You country woman, have you ever seen money? How much have you seen to come here and say I’m not short on cash? Look closely, five thousand bucks—buying your lousy recipe. Consider yourself lucky."
Boss Ma sat there with an air of superiority, shaking his leg while slapping a stack of cash in his hand.
Zheng Xiuzhi quickly interjected, "Ahem, Daughter-in-law, look at how sincere Boss Ma is. This is five thousand—"
"What’s wrong with five thousand? Have you never seen money, or can’t you stand to see me do well? Bringing someone to my house and forcing me to sell my recipe?" Su Mingxian's gaze was icy. "You Ruan family members really are something. Shen Chi treats you well, doesn’t he? Yet here you are, looking down on him while coveting his wife’s money. Is this how people behave? Today I want to ask Grandpa Ruan what he really means by this. Is it because he’s a Ruan that he’s soft all the way to the bone?"
Her words were a thinly veiled insult, and Zheng Xiuzhi was furious but had to swallow her anger. "What are you doing? I introduced Boss Ma to buy your recipe for your own good. A woman like you working hard from dawn till dusk—what kind of example are you setting for the neighbors? You should think about your children too!"
"I don’t need your misguided kindness. I’m doing just fine with my kids. If you think five thousand can buy my recipe, you’re dreaming. Get lost, or don’t blame me for being rude." Su Mingxian's expression was resolute.
"Rude? You want to be rude with me?" Boss Ma was instantly displeased. "Five thousand isn’t enough, huh? Fine, I’ll offer you a maximum of ten thousand. Don’t push your luck; whether you want to sell or not, you will sell that recipe."
With that, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal tattoos on his arms, showing a fierce demeanor like a gang leader.
Seeing this, Su Mingxian's face turned cold. "What, trying to intimidate me? Go ahead; let’s see if I’m scared."
After all those years following Shen Chi, what kind of people hadn’t she seen? She wasn’t afraid of this. With that thought in mind, she lifted a stone mill from the yard with one hand.
"Those who know better should get lost quickly. Even if you offered me one hundred thousand or a million, I wouldn’t sell it. Just give up on that idea."
With a loud crash, she slammed the mill down in front of them, sending dust flying everywhere.
The two were so frightened that they quickly stepped back, and the man surnamed Ma's face changed dramatically as he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, you filthy woman. Fine, you think you're tough? You won't sell, huh? Just wait, I'll make you beg me to sell it later. Hmph."
After saying that, he snatched the money from Zheng Xiuzhi's hand and turned to leave. Zheng Xiuzhi was a bit flustered, calling out, "Hey, Boss Ma, Boss Ma—"
...
"Sister Xian, what happened?" Wang Daguo asked with a puzzled expression. "Who were those two?"
Su Mingxian placed the grinding stone back in its original spot and dusted off her hands. "Just a couple of lunatics wanting to buy my recipe for five thousand yuan."
Huangpu River frowned slightly at this and narrowed his peach blossom eyes. "Sister Xian, I think I've seen that guy before."
"You've seen him?" Su Mingxian paused for a moment before asking, "He said he was Boss Ma from Shi Wei Tian. Which shop is Shi Wei Tian? Is it big?"
Both of them shook their heads in response, indicating they had never seen it before. Su Mingxian didn't think much of it; Shanghai was so vast that it was normal not to have encountered every place.
They set the matter aside and headed to the Food Processing Plant together.
Although it was called a Food Processing Plant, it was essentially just a rented large courtyard. By the time they arrived, quite a few people were already standing in the yard.
Fat Aunt was among them and happily exclaimed, "Xiao Su! Oh, you finally made it! Everyone has been waiting for you for quite a while. Come here; let me introduce you. This is our Factory Director from Su Ji Food Factory, Su Mingxian."
