“Honey, ow ow ow, I won’t dare do it again, don’t twist so hard!”
Being bent at the finger like that by the woman, the man immediately gave in.
Seeing the man was about to cry from the pain, the woman finally let go.
She sat down on the stool angrily, crossed her arms over her chest, and said, “I didn’t even want to come in the first place. I think this is just a waste of my time.”
“But he insisted I come, saying something about how I haven’t been acting right lately.”
“Doctor, do I look like there’s something wrong with me to you?”
Qin Jiang said flatly, “Whether there’s a problem or not, we’ll only know after a systematic examination. If you need to see a doctor, please swipe your ID cards first.”
The woman impatiently took out her ID card and swiped it on the card reader.
But because she used too much force, the card could never be placed in the correct position, so the system was never able to read her personal information.
The woman’s emotions quickly got out of control, and she reached out and smacked the card reader twice.
“What kind of junk is this? You people should replace your machines. Such a big clinic, and you use cheap stuff like this?”
Qin Jiang said, “This is a brand-new card reader we just got. Let me remind you—if you break it, you’ll have to pay for it at full price.”
The woman had been furious, but the moment she heard she’d have to pay for damages, she could only force down the anger in her heart and place her ID card on it again.
Soon, the card reader displayed the woman’s identity.
The woman’s name was Ma Ziyun, and she was the owner of a restaurant.
Her family had always run restaurants locally and were quite well-known in the area, so business had always been good.
The man was named Zhou Guangcai, and he was a live-in son-in-law of the Ma family.
Because for the Ma family, they were very wealthy and had already opened more than a dozen chain branches, but there had never been a male heir to inherit the family business.
So the Ma family thought of taking in a live-in son-in-law, to see if the Ma family’s business could be passed down.
Because he was a live-in son-in-law, and because Ma Ziyun had been domineering since childhood and was a woman with strong opinions—
Zhou Guangcai had always been meek and submissive in front of her, unable to hold his head up.
After understanding the basic situation of the two, Qin Jiang spoke up and asked, “Tell me, where on your body are you feeling unwell?”
Ma Ziyun looked impatient.
“Ask him. He’s the one who thinks there’s something wrong with me. I think I’m fine.”
Qin Jiang turned his gaze to Zhou Guangcai.
Zhou Guangcai stammered, “Actually, I… I can’t really say either.”
“I just feel like she’s been different lately, like her whole personality has changed. She’s gotten more short-tempered, and not only does she hit me often, but she hits hard too.”
Ma Ziyun laughed angrily at this.
“Zhou Guangcai, I see you don’t want to stay married anymore, huh? We’ve been married for so many years—haven’t we always been like this?”
“I hit you every day and you could take it. Just this once you can’t handle it, huh? Are you trying to get a divorce?”
Hearing Ma Ziyun say this, the viewers in the livestream were all shocked.
“Damn, did I hear that right? What did this woman just say—she’s been treating that man like this every day for all these years of marriage?”
“That’s way too fierce. Does this count as domestic abuse?”
“A man hitting a woman definitely counts as domestic abuse. What does a woman hitting a man count as? At most it means the man’s useless.”
“This is way too unfair. Shouldn’t there be a men’s rights group for this?”
“That’s just how live-in son-in-laws are. If he had any backbone, who’d be willing to be a live-in son-in-law?”
Seeing Ma Ziyun about to get physical again, Qin Jiang suddenly spoke up. “She does indeed have an illness.”
Qin Jiang’s one sentence immediately caught Ma Ziyun’s attention.
Zhou Guangcai, standing to the side, eyes went wide, thinking Qin Jiang was way too bold.
Even if Ma Ziyun really was sick, you can’t just say it so bluntly!
Qin Jiang asked calmly, “Have you been feeling like your appetite has opened up lately, wanting to eat everything?”
Ma Ziyun sneered, “Yeah, so what? I’ve always had a good appetite. Ever since I was little, I’ve loved eating. Does that count as an illness too?”
Qin Jiang glanced at her and continued asking, “Then how many bowls of rice do you eat a day, how much food, and what’s your current weight?”
The moment food was mentioned, Ma Ziyun became very happy.
Back then, it was precisely because she loved to eat that she took over a restaurant from her family and had been running it ever since.
Loves food, loves eating, knows how to eat.
These were the three defining traits of Ma Ziyun.
Ma Ziyun said, “I run a restaurant, so there’s no fixed number for how many meals I eat a day.”
“Because sometimes when cooking for customers, I have to taste-test to make sure the quality is right.”
“And when we stir-fry or boil things, there are usually trimmings, so I’ll eat some of those too, to avoid waste.”
“If you really have to ask, then it’s probably about four meals a day, four bowls of rice per meal, three dishes, and I clean the plate.”
“I’m a bit heavier than before now—ninety-three jin.”
Hearing Ma Ziyun say this, the viewers were all incredibly shocked.
“Four meals a day, four bowls of rice per meal? That means she eats a jin of rice per meal, three jin a day?”
“Damn, that appetite is unbeatable. She could totally do mukbangs. Why even run a restaurant?”
“Being a streamer is unstable income—running a restaurant is so much more stable. And didn’t you hear her say her family’s restaurants have chain branches? If business weren’t good, could they open chain stores?”
“So what our ancestors said about ‘a cook never starves’ is actually true. With her appetite, if she had any other job, she might not even be able to feed herself.”
The kitchen trimmings Ma Ziyun mentioned weren’t the kind from the trash can.
She meant that some ingredients, to ensure quality, have unimportant parts cut off.
For example, in more proper restaurants, when cutting potato shreds, they first cut the potato into square blocks, then start shredding.
Not to mention some dishes where heads and tails are removed, and some meats where only the middle portion is used.
Collecting these trimmings and stir-frying them makes a fine dish too.
The fact that Ma Ziyun could say this showed that her family’s restaurant was relatively high-end, so the ingredients were handled with care.
It also showed she was quite thrifty.
Because in many restaurants, the chefs find these trimmings troublesome to deal with and just throw them in the trash.
After all, the costs are borne by the boss, so the employees don’t feel bad about it.
Qin Jiang said to Ma Ziyun, “Don’t you find it strange yourself?”
“You eat so much every day, but no matter how much you eat, you never gain weight. That in itself is a very abnormal sign.”
Ma Ziyun immediately became unhappy at this.
“What kind of talk is that? Doesn’t whether you gain weight or not have to do with your constitution? I’m just the kind of person who can eat all she wants and never gain weight.”
