Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 99: Are you planning to play dumb with me here?

Li Ruru's first reaction was that they had entered the wrong store, and Bai Lu would not treat her like this.

Her second reaction was that these men had designs on her two daughters, so she reached out and shielded them behind her.

"Don't speak, and don't be afraid, your mother is here."

Chaochao gripped Li Ruru's sleeve tightly, her heart filled with worry; her mother was just a weak woman.

How could she possibly defeat three tall men?

This isn't Chenjia Village, there's no village head to help, and Yishan Chuxiu and Xiao Wu aren't here either.

They are destined for misfortune today.

Peipei held Li Ruru's hand and looked around. She found that the doors and windows were all tightly closed, and her heart jumped into her throat.

Li Ruru, however, was not intimidated at all. With her hands on her hips, she said to the two fat men, "Oh ho? You made such terrible food and you won't even let us say a word?"
The stuff you guys concocted is so bad it's almost an overstatement to call it pig feed.

Even a pig would grunt and turn away at those vegetables.

After a pause, she continued, "You three good-for-nothings are only able to survive in this restaurant because you've got incredible luck. It's only because Master Bai and Miss Bai are kind-hearted and compassionate that they've been able to tolerate you."

If I were in charge, you would have been kicked out like bedbugs long ago!
"You can't even cook a decent dish, you've dragged down the entire restaurant's standards by a mile. Keeping you around is just a disaster!"

A waiter who doesn't treat customers like gods, looks down on everyone and everyone.

Anyone who didn't know him would think he was a high-ranking eunuch in the palace. I don't know what he's so arrogant about all day.

The two cooks in the kitchen made such terrible food; it was a complete waste of ingredients and a terrible disservice.

The three were completely dumbfounded by the insults. One of the fat men rubbed his nose and muttered, "You vulgar shrew who spews filth, your ability to curse is probably unmatched!"

What good is your mouth except for spewing out sharp, sarcastic, and disgusting words?

He was unconvinced, but deep down he somewhat agreed with Li Ruru's words.

The two brothers were indeed not very skilled; it was only because Madam Bai was kind-hearted that they were allowed to work there.

The servant sneered, "You treacherous and cunning slut, your mind is so vicious, you dare to instigate the young lady to replace us."

Don't think you can get away with your despicable actions. Since you've so heartlessly provoked this trouble, don't blame us for showing no mercy.

As he spoke, he picked up a broom and started hitting him.

The servant was tall and big, which made Li Ruru look petite and pitiful.

Snapped--

Li Ruru grabbed the broom and pulled hard.

The servant clearly hadn't expected Li Ruru to catch his broom, and he lost his balance and fell forward.

Li Ruru turned to the side and used all her strength to kick him in the back of the knee.

With a cracking sound, the servant's leg broke, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Li Ruru looked down at him and asked, "Who ordered you to do this?"

The three men closed the door as soon as they entered, clearly a trap they had set beforehand, just waiting for them to fall into it.

The servant cried out in pain, but didn't say anything.

Li Ruru pulled a small knife from her waist and pointed it at his ankle. "Hmph, you fool, what? Are you planning to play dumb with me here?"
Don't push me too far. If you don't say anything, believe me, I'll make sure you crawl on the ground for the rest of your life, becoming a complete cripple!

The servant thought she was just bluffing and arrogantly said, "You shameless and despicable whore, if you dare to touch me, I will definitely peel off your human skin and let you taste what it means to wish for death. As for your two daughters, I will personally send them to a brothel and let them suffer torture and humiliation in that filthy place, being ridden and trampled by thousands of men."

Li Ruru hated human traffickers and brothels, especially since this man had his eyes on her two daughters.

She raised her hand, and the white knife went in while the red knife came out.

what……

Blood instantly stained the servant's trousers. He turned pale with pain and stared at Li Ruru in disbelief, hurriedly pointing to one of the fat men.

"It was him, it was all his idea, it has nothing to do with me."

He clutched his legs and howled, regretting that he had underestimated his opponent.

I should have just stopped wasting my breath on these women and knocked them out with a stick and sold them off. That would have been so much easier.

He gritted his teeth and cried out in pain.

Li Ruru brandished the knife in her hand and said irritably, "Shut the fuck up."

The servant immediately shut up obediently.

Chaochao was terrified; her mother had hidden a knife in her pocket. She actually used it; there was so much blood, it was horrifying.

Peipei looked at Li Ruru's back with admiration, thinking, "Mom is amazing."

The two fat men laughed so hard they almost fell over when they saw that the servant had actually been defeated by a woman named Li Ruru.

"You... Hahaha, you're such a waste, you can't even beat a woman."

After the mockery, the two men moved with heavy steps and rushed towards Li Ruru and her daughter.

Just then, a shout came from upstairs.

"Stop!" It was Bai Lu's voice.

She rushed over and said to the two fat men, "What are you doing? Aunt Li is a VIP guest of our restaurant."

The fat men remained unmoved, their eyes still fixed on Li Ruru.

Bai Lu glanced at the servant boy on the ground, clutching his leg and whimpering, then at the blood-stained knife in Li Ruru's hand.

Her lips twitched. "Aunt Li, isn't there some misunderstanding?"

Li Ruru stared at her intently, noticing that her tense expression seemed genuine and that she was clearly unaware of the situation.

"There's no misunderstanding at all. It's clearly those scoundrels who insisted that I instigated you to replace them. They're probably bursting with resentment. They're like those clowns, truly laughable and hateful."

Li Ruru shrugged, unconvinced.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's face turned pale with anger. She turned around and angrily rebuked the two fat men: "It is I who want to replace you bunch of good-for-nothings. It has nothing to do with Aunt Li."

"You bunch of good-for-nothings who can't do anything right and never get enough to eat, Hongfu Restaurant doesn't keep idle people. Get out of here and stop making a fool of yourselves."

Li Ruru never expected that Bai Lu, who usually looked so gentle and weak, could be so eloquent and logical when she started cursing.

The fat men were shocked that the young lady would actually swear, and immediately panicked, "Miss, you can't do this!"

"Miss, you can't be so heartless! I have elderly and frail parents at home, and ignorant children crying for food. They all rely on my meager strength to barely make ends meet."

If we lose this livelihood, our whole family will starve to death or even die in the streets.

Please have pity on us and spare us this time.

The two pleaded pitifully, a stark contrast to their arrogant demeanor towards Li Ruru just moments before.

Bai Lu bit her lip, clearly hesitant.

Unlike Li Ruru, she was not decisive and ruthless. She was understanding and did not want to make things difficult for others, let alone let others go hungry because of her.

Seeing that she was about to let these people go, Li Ruru quickly said, "Miss Bai, these three just said they would skin me alive and sell my two daughters."

If Miss Bai can't handle her own affairs, then... then we don't need to cooperate anymore.

Earning less money is fine with her; she has to consider the safety of herself and her daughter.

These three petty people have come to hate her, and she will never come here again.

She went over to open the door, only to find it was locked.

"Open it." She kicked the servant on the ground.

The servant's leg, which had just stopped bleeding, was kicked so hard that it throbbed in pain.

"You...you poisonous woman." His face was pale, and he didn't have the strength to curse as before.

"Hurry up." Li Ruru kicked him a few more times.

A fat man pulled out a key and waved it in front of Li Ruru. "The key is with me! You want to take it? Fine, first kneel down obediently, kowtow and apologize, and loudly proclaim that the food I make is unparalleled in the world and absolutely delicious."

Li Ruru said speechlessly, "Fine, fine, you're the best, okay?"

This person is utterly shameless and ridiculous.

"No, what you said is too perfunctory."

The fat man felt wronged. "If it's okay, it's okay; if it's not okay, it's not okay. What does 'okay, okay, okay' mean?"
It was obvious that she was not convinced and was just giving him the runaround.

"Open the door quickly!" Bai Lu shouted.

The two fat men, covered in flabby flesh, exchanged greasy glances, and then a lewd grin appeared on their faces.

One of them grinned, revealing a set of uneven, yellowed teeth, and said in a strange voice, "Hehe, miss, what can you do to me if we two brothers don't do as you say?"

After saying that, he stuck out his thick tongue and licked his dry, cracked lips, looking like a vicious wolf that had spotted its prey, which was disgusting.
