Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 264 The Stable Boy Transforms into a General

For several days in a row, Lao Ma went out early and returned late.

Old Ma only had time to deliver breakfast to Little Ma in the morning.

Seeing that the food box from the previous night was empty, Old Ma simply assumed that Little Ma had eaten obediently.

Even when he was delivered to him at night, Xiao Ma would just lie there and not react at all.

I didn't say a word, nor did I look at him.

They just assumed the child was hot-tempered and they were trying to save face by arguing with him.

But as long as they're willing to eat their food obediently, that's fine.

We ask the kitchen staff to deliver our lunch at noon.

For this, Old Ma even gave the kitchen staff some loose change to thank them for taking care of Little Ma.

Old Ma and those people had a friendly exchange, and Little Ma saw Old Ma giving them money.

Little Horse was really starving.

These past few days, I've only been able to have a normal bowl of porridge and a steamed bun in the morning.

I haven't had a proper meal at noon or in the evening.

Let's not even talk about lunch; it was all stuff I couldn't stomach.

I was forced to eat it.

On the first day, the little horse was forced in.

They came every day at noon, for the second and third days.

With that disgusting food.

Even if the pony refuses and spills the food, they will still pick it up and put it back into the pony's mouth.

Xiao Ma tried to resist, but how could he, alone, resist several of them?

Moreover, Xiao Ma has always been accustomed to being patient and tolerant.

She accepted all the bullying without question, only glaring at them with hatred, while secretly devising countless ways to retaliate.

In reality, he was still the one being bullied, and there was nothing he could do.

Later, the little horse learned its lesson and stuffed the food in itself.

This way, at least you won't suffer any more pain.

Those people deliberately prepared inedible food just to disgust Little Horse.

They were all very happy to see the little horse obediently eat all the food.

The little horse is just like a dog; it even eats poop.

That evening, Old Ma brought him food.

The food that Lao Ma brought was plentiful.

Normally, Xiao Ma would be very happy and grateful to Lao Ma for bringing him such a delicious meal.

However, this food would only cause the pony more pain right now.

On one occasion, Lao Ma brought a plate of fried dried anchovies.

Little Horse was very hungry, so he ate a dried fish.

The consequence was that Xiao Ma got a fishbone stuck in his throat and couldn't get it out even after vomiting for a long time.

It was the disgusting food the next day that helped dislodge the fish bone.

Little Ma was starving. His back injury had finally healed a bit, so he wanted to go to the kitchen to get some food himself.

Even if the people who bullied Xiao Ma were in the kitchen, Xiao Ma wasn't afraid; he could get food from other people.

Moreover, in the kitchen, with people coming and going, they wouldn't dare do that kind of thing to him in front of others.

If this matter is brought up with the housekeeper, then it's their fault.

Xiao Ma did consider asking the housekeeper to accuse them of their crimes.

One problem is that Xiao Ma has no evidence. He ate all the food, so how can he prove that it was inedible?

Another issue is that they outnumber and outmaneuver each other. If Xiao Ma goes to complain to the steward, he might get bitten back.

Xiao Ma had experienced something like this before.

Therefore, Xiao Ma didn't think anyone could help him.

Xiao Ma never expected to see this scene when he walked into the kitchen.

Old Ma chatted and laughed with the people who had bullied him, thanking them for their care.

Old Ma, is this how you expect them to take care of him?

Previously, he even wondered if he had wronged Lao Ma.

He was even grateful to Lao Ma for bringing him breakfast every day.

However, because he was bullied at noon, he was unhappy in the evening and couldn't give Lao Ma a good attitude.

Now that he has witnessed it firsthand, Xiao Ma is filled with immense hatred.

They, they're in cahoots.

They all bullied him.

They were all his enemies.

Xiao Ma walked into the kitchen with his head down.

They collected their food.

Those who had been bullying Xiao Ma didn't dare to come forward and bully him anymore.

Some things can be done in secret, but not openly.

If the housekeeper finds out, they will deliberately bully people in private, and the least they can do is be reassigned to other jobs.

The kitchen staff in the mansion had the easiest and most lucrative jobs, and they certainly didn't want to be replaced.

In more serious cases, it means being sold off.

The Jiang family has few people and simple affairs, and the monthly salary is not bad. If the master's business is good, he will also give everyone a bonus at the end of the year.

If it's sold off, it's uncertain whether it will find such a good home.

Xiao Ma finally got to eat his first normal, edible meal in days.

Although it was just a very simple tofu soup, Xiao Ma carefully drank it while holding the bowl.

When Old Ma saw Little Ma come out to eat, he figured Little Ma's injury had healed.

I'm happy for the little horse.

She just looks like she's lost a lot of weight.

But that's not important, as long as the injury heals.

Old Ma wanted to have dinner with Little Ma, but Little Ma avoided him.

Xiao Ma felt that Lao Ma's approach to him was ill-intentioned.

Old Ma is a bit hurt.

Old Ma believed he had already taken the initiative to back down, and after so many days, even if Little Ma was still angry, he should have calmed down by now.

Moreover, it was Xiao Ma who was in the wrong, and he said those things for Xiao Ma's own good.

Those who serve must always put their masters first.

If you can't share the master's worries and troubles, and instead cause trouble for the master, why would the master keep you?

Old Ma hoped that Little Ma could stay at the Jiang residence.

The Jiang family treated them well, and the master and mistress were both kind people.

As long as they work hard, the master will not treat them unfairly.

Sometimes when Lao Ma went out with his master, his master would remind Lao Ma to go and have a meal by himself while he was out socializing.

The master would also tip Old Ma, reimburse him for his meals outside, and give him some snacks as a reward.

Little Horse didn't want to talk to him, so Old Horse had no choice but to leave.

Hopefully, Xiao Ma can figure things out on his own.

If he gets stuck on his own ideas, no one can help him.

The guys who were bullying Xiao Ma in the kitchen just watched him from a distance.

There are many people here, so they don't dare to bully Xiao Ma.

I didn't expect Xiao Ma to come over for dinner by himself today.

I don't know if I'll have another chance to go see Xiao Ma for dinner tomorrow.

Actually, they didn't get along with Xiao Ma from the start. They deliberately withheld his food when he arrived late.

The reason they've been deliberately humiliating Xiao Ma lately is because they unexpectedly learned that Xiao Ma offended Miss.

That day, when the lady and young lady went out, the horse driver hadn't prepared a footstool, making it inconvenient for the young lady to get in and out of the carriage.

They only overheard the young lady and young master talking about going on trips occasionally.

The young lady said that Xiao Ma's preparations were inadequate.

They also said that Xiao Ma's driving caused them to fall into a pit.

They also said that Xiao Ma got covered in mud.

The young lady's words implied that Xiao Ma had done a bad job.

After a brief discussion, the group concluded that the young lady was dissatisfied with Xiao Ma.

If the young lady is not satisfied with Xiao Ma, how far is it from Xiao Ma being kicked out of the manor?
