“Fine, fine!” Once Malan heard this, she burst into joy and smiles.
To her, the outside world was still a bit boring, and she was more satisfied with the feeling of being a bully at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.
So she said happily, “My son-in-law is a good man! To be able to find connections so far away from New York is truly remarkable!”
Ye Chen laughed and said casually, “It’s also a coincidence that a client happens to be here, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to help much.”
Ma Lan said with a smile, “Oh, good, it’s good to be able to help! Good son-in-law, then I won’t talk to you for a while, please say hello to Chu Ran for me and tell her not to worry, and ah, you don’t have to wait in New York all the time, go back to stay with her first, mum will be out in another ten days and a half months.”
“Okay.” Ye Chen spoke, “I’ll talk to Churan later, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
After hanging up the phone, Ma Lan’s entire body was happy.
She hung up the phone joyfully, and when she turned her head, she found a black woman standing in the back of the queue waiting for the phone, and as soon as she saw Ma Lan, the black man immediately bowed respectfully and said in not-so-skilled Chinese, “Intercept number!”
Ma Lan frowned and grunted, “How did you learn to pronounce that? It’s not standard at all! It’s Arashi, not Intercept! Say it again for me!”
“What……” This black woman didn’t know Chinese at all, she just followed the example of others and learnt the phrase “Sister Arashi is good”, but she couldn’t understand the pronunciation, and now she saw that Ma Lan was saying a lot in front of her, but she couldn’t understand anything.
When she saw the black woman looking at her with a bewildered expression, she couldn’t help but mutter, “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you hear me talking to you?”
The black woman couldn’t understand what Maran was saying, but she could tell that the ghostly woman was not too happy, so she didn’t know what to do.
Seeing her tense and shivering, Ma Lan could not help but snicker and said casually, “Your sister Lan is in a good mood now, so I won’t be ordinary with you.”
After saying that, she turned her face away and strutted away.
On the playground, everyone who saw Ma Lan continued to greet her respectfully, making Ma Lan in a good mood.
But Marashi didn’t know that what was happening right now was about to change dramatically tomorrow!
……
The next day.
The first thing she did when she woke up was to take it out on Chloe and Jessica.
When she saw that they were still asleep in bed, she immediately went to the bathroom and brought out a basin of cold water and poured half of it over Chloe’s body, then with a scream, she turned around and poured the rest of the basin over Jessica, who was curled up in the other bed.
Jessica, too, shrieked in terror and then jumped up from the bed in a huff.
The two drenched men saw Marashi standing in front of them with the empty basin, each one daring to speak out in anger.
Marashi looked at Chloe and asked in a cold voice, “What are you looking at me for? Why don’t you get up and get to work?”
Chloe cried, “We washed clothes until the early hours of the morning yesterday, and we’ve only had three or four hours’ sleep, do you want us to live?”
Maran said with contempt, “You’re lucky we let you sleep for three or four hours! Get up and wipe the floor for me, if I get dust on my feet, I’ll beat you to death!”
