Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 273

Zhong Ruyi didn't like this family. She waved her hands like she was shooing away flies. "Don't hang around in front of my store. I'm afraid you'll drive away all my customers."

Old Mrs. Jiang choked for a moment, but soon smiled again, "Look at what you said. You bought my grandchildren and my daughter-in-law, so we are a family. How can a family say such hurtful words? Forget it this time. Just open the door and let us in."

???

Where did she get this face?

Zhong Ruyi couldn't figure it out and didn't want to care what they were thinking. She picked up the broom at the door and pretended to hit them, "Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, I can't hold you down with this broom! Don't scream if it hurts!"

Sun Tao was even more direct. She reached out and took the broom from Zhong Ruyi's hand, and without saying a word, she started to beat them with a violent gust of wind, blowing away the leaves, making the two of them scream and jump up and down.

After the beating, she put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Can you get away from me? Didn't I tell you last time? If you see me again, just treat me as a stranger. If you want to come over and do something bad, I won't let you go. Do you still think I'm the Sun Tao from before? You can do whatever you want to me! Get out of here right now!"

Jiang Si Niang was hit on the face and it was burning with pain. Her clothes and hair were messed up.

She suppressed her anger and said, "Sister-in-law, why have you become so barbaric? Can't you just talk it out nicely?"

"Talk nicely? What can we talk about? Tell me how you drugged me? How you sold us four children? How dare you come here to get close to me?"

Zhong Ruyi pulled her back to prevent her from fainting from anger.

Chen Dongzhi took the key she handed over and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, Zhong Ruyi pulled Sun Tao in.

Jiang Qin and others followed closely behind, leaving the beaten old lady Jiang and the other man standing at the door with gloomy faces, looking at the door that had been closed.

"Mom, let's go back. Sun Tao has someone backing him up now and won't pay any attention to us." Jiang Si Niang supported her mother, and she felt pain on the part of her face where she was hit as she spoke.

Old Lady Jiang said in a deep voice, "Since she has married your eldest brother, even if I sell her off, I am still her mother-in-law. And Jiang Qin and the others, I raised their father anyway. If they dare to do this to me, they will not end well!"

But she also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so she took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back first and come over when we have time. I don't believe they can ignore us forever. As long as we get close to them, are you still worried about not getting a dowry?"

Zhong Ruyi gave two boxes of the pearl cream to Sun Tao, her daughter and Wei, and she planned to take the rest back to her family.

Before she went back, she told Sun Tao, "Next time your ex-mother-in-law comes, ignore them. If they come into the store looking for you, just ask Xie Hai to drive them out. Don't hit them, especially the old lady. What if you hurt her and you are held responsible?"

"Okay, I understand, boss." Sun Tao could only agree sullenly.

Zhong Ruyi and Chen Dongzhi returned to the village. Before they reached the entrance, they saw two people standing under a tree and arguing with each other.

She squinted her eyes and saw that it was Zhang Mingzhu and Zhong Mei.

As I got closer, I heard Zhong Mei say, "You are living in your second uncle's house now, helping him with work. It's not too much for you to ask him for some money. Listen to your mother and ask your second uncle for a hundred or eighty taels. Your brother is waiting for this money to help you marry a sister-in-law!"

Zhang Mingzhu rolled her eyes. "I live in my uncle's house. I eat and wear what I eat. What's wrong with helping him with some work? And mother, if my eldest brother wants to marry, you and father should pay for it. Why do you want my uncle and I to ask for money? Is this wife for me or for my uncle?"

Zhong Mei reached out and patted her, scolding her, "How can you talk like that? It's a good thing for your brother to get married. Just go and talk to your second uncle. Even if there's no more, fifty taels will do."

"Mom, please go back. I won't tell. It's already great that my uncle is willing to take me in. Don't always think about taking my family's money. Can't you be more diligent? Why do you have to keep an eye on my uncle?" Zhang Mingzhu looked impatient and turned around to leave.

Originally, she came out today to wait for the peddler and buy some snacks to please Tiedan. However, after waiting for a while, the peddler did not come, but her mother came instead.

"Don't leave yet. I'll talk to you again." Zhong Mei held her back and said, "You are living at your uncle's house now. You must try to please your uncle. It would be best if you can outdo your cousin!"

Zhang Mingzhu turned around suddenly and glared at her. "How can I beat her? She is so capable. She opened two stores and built a workshop in the village. Do you know who the people doing business with her are? Her parents support her unconditionally, but what about mine? I'll be thankful if you don't hold me back! You still dare to ask me to beat her? It's just wishful thinking!"

Zhong Mei was startled and stammered, "Then there's nothing that mom and dad can do about it, right? Mom also hopes that you can all live well. Don't you have the chance now?"

She thought about it, and seeing that her daughter was about to cry, she said, "If you don't want to, then let your sister do it. Mingzhen is sweeter than you, and your second uncle will definitely like her!"

"What do you think of my home? You can invite whoever you want?" Zhong Ruyi's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them, scaring them both.

Zhang Mingzhu was almost crying out of anger, but now she held back her tears and turned to look at the person who came in panic.

"Cousin, why are you back?" She turned around and wiped her tears, not daring to let Zhong Ruyi see.

Zhong Ruyi pulled her over, without looking at her expression, and just looked at Zhong Mei expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?"

"...What are you talking about? I just came to see your cousin and see how she is doing." Zhong Mei smiled awkwardly, not daring to look up at her. She didn't know how long she had been listening and whether she heard everything she said.

"What? You want to take her back because she's not doing well?"

Zhong Ruyi laughed sarcastically. What good intentions could this person have? Could she not see it?

She also heard the conversation between the two just now.

She even wanted Zhang Mingzhu to ask her father for money to help her good son get married?

What a great job!

Fortunately, Zhang Mingzhu was not stupid. If she really agreed to Zhong Mei's request to ask her father for money, she could guarantee that Zhong's father would drive Zhang Mingzhu away that night.

Zhong Mei subconsciously said, "How can that be! Your cousin is doing well, I'm relieved now. I just came to see her when I have time, and I'm going back now!"

Zhang Mingzhu also lowered her head. She felt ashamed and embarrassed. Her mother was planning to take away Zhong Ruyi's family's money, and Zhong Ruyi happened to hear it.

She felt a little sad. She thought she would probably be kicked out. Who would accept a person with evil intentions?

Zhong Ruyi didn't know what she was thinking, so she just patted her arm gently to comfort her, "Don't think about it, let's go back."
