MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 49 untitled

Zhou Qiu pulled Zhou Muzi out in front of the Li family, but the Li family didn't dare to stop him with an ugly face.

Because of Zhou Muzi's incident, after Li Hu learned about it from his sister Li Damei, he made a big fuss at home, threatening that if Zhou Muzi still had to do the housework, he would not hand over the money he went to work.

Li Hu's words, naturally in exchange for Li's mother and Li's father scolding, scolding Li Hu for being unfilial, dare to act wild at home for a brother, dare not pay money, as long as they are Li Hu's parents, Li Hu's money is the family .

The second brother, Li Zhi, kept silent, while Li Zhi's daughter-in-law lowered her brows and looked pitiful, with a smile on her lips, not at all afraid that Li Hu would not hand over her wages to the family.

There is no separation in this family, Li's mother and Li's father are still alive, and Li Hu has to hand over his part-time wages. If he does not pay, he is not filial to his parents.

Li Hu is not stupid, he knows his family very well, and he must hand over his wages to his family, but if he doesn't go to work, he will have no wages to hand over. When he said this, he directly pinched the weakness of Li's family.

Li's father and Li's mother want to scold him, but his younger brother Li Zhi keeps finding excuses not to go to work, just loafing around at home, pretending to go out to find a job every now and then, but actually reaching out to ask Li's mother for money under the pretext of looking for a job, and going to the county town Go around and come back after spending all the money in your hand.

Li Hu knew it.

Li Zhi also refuted that he went out to look for a job, but he couldn't find one. Li Zhi retorted that Li Hu directly dismantled it.

Li Hu's words: "Second brother can't find a job, and I can't find a job, so I just stay and work at home."

If Li Hu doesn't go to work, the family really depends on a few acres of land for their livelihood. How could Li's mother allow it.

Li Zhi's daughter-in-law was even more unwilling. She had a son born in her womb. Without the money paid by Li Hu's part-time job, her son's birth would not be a good life.

She thought in her heart that the child in her belly must be the grandson of Li's parents.

Li Hu's attitude is tough, the family members dare not compromise, they dare not hand over all the housework to Zhou Muzi, and they have to distinguish which housework is Zhou Muzi's responsibility.

Zhou Muzi could be pulled out by Zhou Qiu, Li Hu nodded. Mother Li didn't dare to say anything.

Zhou Qiu was chattering all the way, and he was still chattering when he got to the market.

"If you don't tell me something, if Li Hu didn't come to me and asked me to go to Li's house to find you often, I wouldn't even know that you were being bullied by Li's family." Zhou Qiu got angry when he said that. "You too, with Li Hu protecting you, you are afraid that the Li family will fail."

"Xiaoqiu, it's my fault. I'll tell you next time. You've been nagging me for two days. How dare I."

"You won't remember if you don't nag." Zhou Qiu said, "I'll go to Yuan Yuan later and I'll talk about you. Let Yuan Yuan and I talk about you together."

Zhou Muzi hurriedly begged for mercy, he didn't want Yuan Yuan to worry about him.

Zhou Qiu reluctantly let it go, but the matter will definitely be discussed with Zhou Yuan.

The two of them went to Wei Cheng's stall after shopping in the market.

When they came to the stall, they didn't see Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan, but Aunt Lu and her family were busy at the stall.

Aunt Lu and her son Wei Yuan met on the day of her friend Zhou Yuan's marriage, and they knew each other well.

Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi wondered why the stalls were replaced. Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan stopped opening the stalls?

"Aunt Lu, Wei Yuan."

The two shouted, and looked down at Aunt Lu and Wei Yuan who were still busy.

"You are the one..." Wei Yuan couldn't remember their names.

"Oh, it's Xiaoqiu and Muzi. You're here to see Brother Yuan. Let's sit down first." Aunt Lu knew the two of them. On the day Zhou Yuan and Wei Cheng got married, Aunt Lu spent the longest time with them.

Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi didn't sit down, they asked Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan. Aunt Lu smiled and said, "You don't know, Chengzi opened a restaurant in the commercial district of the county seat. Our family is Chengzi who invited the stall to help. If you want to find them, I will ask Yuanzi to take you there."

Question marks popped up on Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi's foreheads, they asked for the detailed address, there are customers at the stall, please don't bother Wei Yuan to send it, they are very familiar with the county, so they found it by themselves.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Lu's family, Aunt Lu gave the approximate location of Xianmanju, and the two went straight to the commercial area of ​​the county town. They didn't even need to look for it, they knew the way to Xianmanju by looking for the road near the commercial area.

Xianmanju is located on the innermost street in the business district. The shops on this street are average and there are not many pedestrians. Since the opening of Xianmanju, the business has improved and there have been more pedestrians.

When they saw Xian Manju, their eyes widened and their mouths became round. Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi swallowed their saliva, and they looked at each other, wondering how to get in, and afraid of finding the wrong place and being kicked out.

Such a big restaurant, the country people think, they are timid.

The noon market was almost over, but there was still an endless stream of customers from Xianmanju.

The shop clerk saw a girl and a brother standing at the door. The two looked hesitant, so they stepped forward to ask.

The store waiter has been trained to warmly receive guests as long as there are guests, regardless of whether the guests enter Xianmanju or not, they must go forward and warmly entertain the guests, so as to make the guests feel welcome, no matter what the status of the guests is.

Xianmanlou's service attitude has since become the restaurant with the best reputation in the county and the highest rate of customers returning.

"Excuse me, do the two guests want to eat? There are currently empty tables, please come inside!"

The waiter in the shop smiled enthusiastically, without any look of contempt. Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi breathed a sigh of relief before they dared to ask, "Excuse me, are Zhou Yuan and Wei Cheng there? I'm their friend..."

.........

Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi sat in the private room, the clerk served tea, watching his friend Zhou Yuan order the clerk to prepare food in a customary tone. Compared with the enthusiastic attitude towards the customers at the door just now, the waiter in the shop is now enthusiastic and respectful. After his friend Zhou Yuan finished his orders, the waiter in the shop respectfully withdrew.

Zhou Yuan sat back beside Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi, the two exhaled at the same time, staring at Zhou Yuan with amazed expressions.

"..." It's been a while since we saw each other. Zhou Yuan couldn't understand their expressions.

Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi had a lot of things they wanted to ask, and they didn't know how to ask too many questions. They wanted to ask Wei Cheng when he had such skills, so he opened a stall, and now he opened a restaurant......

I don't know how to ask, so I just don't ask.

"My Yuanyuan is married to the right person!"

"Yuan Yuan is a lucky person, everyone in the village is wrong!"

Zhou Yuan laughed out loud: "The words of the two of you are too strange. Why did you say that? Is it necessary to be so surprised?"

"Have!"

The two said in unison!

Zhou Yuan wouldn't think that it was because he was used to his husband's ability to make money, but Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi had the impression that Wei Cheng was still an ordinary person at the pier.

It didn't take long before he became a restaurant owner.

Zhou Qiu stopped being entangled and asked, "Yuan Yuan, does your family know that Wei Cheng has opened such a large restaurant?"

"I probably don't know." Zhou Yuan thought for a while, "My three older brothers should know. They are studying in a grocery store now, and they knew about the opening of Xianmanju. They probably didn't tell their family about it."

Zhou Qiu shook her head with regret, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Muzi both looked at her.

Zhou Qiu clicked his tongue, with a firm expression on his face: "Brother Zhou, they must have not told the family. If they told your family, the three sisters-in-law in your family would know. If they knew that Yuan Yuan's family opened such a large restaurant, they would definitely come to the door to show it. Alright, let's fight the autumn wind."

Zhou Yuan thought for a while and fell silent.

Zhou Muzi nodded in agreement.

The three of them knew enough about Zhou Yuan's three sister-in-laws, who liked to take advantage and who were thick-skinned.

"Brother Zhou and the others didn't tell the family, probably because they don't want your three sister-in-laws to come." Zhou Qiu said, "Brother Zhou and the others know that you are soft-tempered, Yuan Yuan, and if your three sister-in-laws come to the door, you must take care of the family and won't give it to you." Look at their faces. The faces of your three sisters-in-law are thicker than the mud walls in the village, and they will definitely turn their faces to please you, and then come to ask for favors under the guise of your sister-in-law relationship."

Zhou Muzi frowned, "But Yuan Yuan's family will know sooner or later that the three sister-in-laws of Yuan Yuan will come to the house with the cheek."

"That's true." Zhou Qiu snorted, "The three of them can finish scolding Yuanyuan here, and turn around and look like I'm your sister-in-law. Putting up the posture of sister-in-law, they will definitely come to the door with a thick face."

Especially knowing about the brown sugar incident, Zhou Qiu felt that Yuan Yuan's three sister-in-laws were going too far. She was annoyed that she should go back to his house with Yuan Yuan, so that she could help Yuan Yuan fight together.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiu warned: "Yuanyuan, if your three sister-in-laws dare to come to the door with the cheek, you don't want to give them good looks for the sake of your family. If you give them good looks, you don't take the opportunity to beat snakes with sticks." Zhou Qiu said.

Zhou Yuan pondered for a while, and said: "If my sister-in-law and the others really come over, I still don't need a cup of tea at home, and there won't be any others."

During that quarrel, Zhou Yuan felt sad from the bottom of his heart, because the attitude of his sister-in-law really hurt him.

In the past, his sisters-in-law made trouble for him and made things difficult for him behind the back of his family. He thought that the family should be in harmony, and they are sister-in-laws. Arguing with them is just embarrassing his elder brother and the others, and the family will be noisy... He still cares in his heart that he won't be able to get married and stays at home all the time without confidence.

The sisters-in-law are usually in a dilemma, accusing Sang and Huai in private, and have a bad attitude towards him, sarcastically saying that he cannot get married. Lai eats and drinks for nothing at home, he can bear not to care about all this.

Ever since he got married, he has eaten and drank for free at home, and even went back with his belongings. The attitude of his sister-in-law at home is still the same as before. This time the verbal attack is not because he can't get married at home, but because he is a brother who married out , not the Zhou family... For the first time, Zhou Yuan felt sad for his sisters-in-law again.

He understands that the unmarried sisters-in-law have opinions, and they still have the same attitude after marriage, and they still want to instruct him. Zhou Yuan knew that the three sister-in-laws did not treat him as a family member.

Both Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi are good friends of Zhou Yuan, so they understand what he said. He secretly scolded Zhou Yuan's three sister-in-laws in his heart, Yuan Yuan had a soft temper, and he had to be an irritating person for Yuan Yuan to change his attitude towards that person.

But that's okay, Yuan Yuan changed, it won't be like before, so they can rest assured.

When Yuan Yuan went back to the county alone that time, his three sisters-in-law drove people away in disguise. They behaved badly, and it would be difficult to rely on their relatives to come to the door in the future.

Zhou Yuan didn't say that even if the three sister-in-laws came to the door, they would not get any benefits.

He knew that the husband was very displeased with his three sister-in-laws, and when he mentioned that their attitudes and expressions were different, his eyes were full of contemplation. The husband had never shown such a gloomy expression in front of him. The husband didn't say it, but he noticed it.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, don't mention these things. Why don't you come today and talk about your affairs in the village."

Alas, when asked, Zhou Qiu finally remembered what he was here for.

It's okay if you don't mention it, but Zhou Qiu's anger rises when he mentions it, Zhou Muzi wants to dodge when he sees it, he is afraid of talking about it.

Zhou Yuan blinked, why Xiao Qiu got angry again, he didn't know what happened.

"Yuanyuan, you don't know, the Li family is too much, they use Muzi as a servant, let Muzi do all the work in the family, and let Muzi do all the field work, and the Li family is pregnant and doesn't do anything... .”

Ever since Li's mother wronged Muzi for hiding the silver taels, Zhou Qiu crackled and told Zhou Yuan everything.

"Isn't it just that she is pregnant with a child, and she is not disabled and needs someone to take care of her? She really treats her as a young mistress. The Li family bullies Muzi's family for being poor and has no support from her mother's family." Zhou Qiu said very excitedly, "If it weren't for Li Hu If I get angry and defend Muzi, I will definitely come to Li Hu to settle the score, and then I will show some color to the Li family."

"How do you want to show the face of the Li family?!"

Both Zhou Yuan and Zhou Muzi were curious, how could she show liking to the Li family, no matter how Xiaoqiu defended Muzi, she was still an outsider. Going to Li's house to make trouble for Li's family is not true, maybe Li's mother turned to find Xiaoqiu bad luck.

Li's mother scolded people, and every sentence was dirty, if she poured dirty water on Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu is a girl's family, and she didn't talk about her marriage, so if it spread, it would be a bad reputation.

"Ann, I won't kiss myself to find a place for Muzi." Zhou Qiu chuckled, "I learned in the village that you don't have to go out to scold someone, you just need to hire a few bad-mouthed ladies in the village and let them go to the door of Li's house." Cursing, when they start swearing, Mother Li is definitely no match."

Zhou Yuan was speechless: "..."

When did Xiaoqiu learn this "skill"?

Zhou Muzi's mouth was wide open, he didn't know when Xiaoqiu learned this kind of damage trick.

"This is a temporary solution. Li Hu's mother has always hated Muzi. Afterwards, he still has the same attitude."

Zhou Yuan thought for a while, then turned his head to Zhou Muzi and asked, "Muzi, why don't you and Li Hu come to work in my grocery store? I heard what my husband said to recruit a group... oh, a group of peddlers are specialized Selling grocery store goods. It seems that there are two ways, one is to sell the goods by yourself, and the other is to become a grocery store employee. In addition to the monthly salary, there are relative bonuses for how much you sell.”

"You come with Li Hu. There are staff housing in the store. If you and Li Hu come to work in the county, the Li family will not bother you."

Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi's eyes lit up, this is a good way.

Zhou Qiu immediately said: "Muzi, agree quickly, if I were a man, I would also come to Yuan Yuan's house to apply for a job."

Zhou Yuan said: "If we want to recruit female workers in the future, I will definitely find you."

Zhou Muzi wanted to agree immediately, but he thought that Li Hu had just signed the employment contract, "Yuan Yuan, I can't agree to your kindness at the moment." He explained: "Ah Hu came back yesterday and said that he found a long-term job and signed it. For the contract, it is estimated that it will take three to four months to come after the construction period is over, and I can’t come now.”

There is really no way.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "It's okay, if you come, tell me in advance, I will ask my husband when the time comes, if there is any suitable job, then I will arrange it for you."

Zhou Muzi nodded: "Okay, if there is, Ah Hu and I will definitely come."

The three of them were chatting in the private room, and Wei Cheng came back from the grocery store to have dinner with his wife, when Xiaoliu heard that Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi had arrived, he turned and went up to the second floor.

The dishes in the private room were served, and Zhou Yuan and the three chatted while eating. Wei Cheng knocked on the door of the private room, and then opened the door for him. The three of them happened to come over.

"Husband, you are back!" Zhou Yuan shouted directly when he saw Wei Cheng.

Zhou Muzi and Zhou Qiu were stunned, they were stunned because of Wei Cheng's clothes.

Wei Cheng has been in contact with businessmen and bosses recently, he can't wear ordinary cotton clothes to socialize, he has to wear clothes that fit a businessman. At this time, he changed into a rich and brocade suit, with a jade crown and hair tied up, with a tall and straight posture, strong facial features, and a calm momentum. The whole person looks like a rich man.

Zhou Muzi and Zhou Qiucai were stunned, they didn't dare to say hello, obviously they were a little bluffed.

In fact, the clothes Zhou Yuan was wearing were also high-quality brocade, with exquisite dark patterns and a simple and elegant style, so low-key that he couldn't see it for a while.

Wei Cheng is such a shrewd person, how can he not see that his wife's friend is restrained, he immediately smiled at the two of them: "Xiaoqiu and Muzi are here, you haven't come to Yuanyuan for so long, Yuanyuan often mentions you, I heard Everyone is jealous."

Wei Cheng joked, and the two finally returned to their usual relaxed attitude with Wei Cheng.

Zhou Qiu smiled triumphantly: "I'll let you be more jealous, be more jealous, so you don't dare to treat my family Yuanyuan badly."

"How could I? I don't even have time for my family's Yuan Yuan Chong, how could it be bad." Wei Cheng retorted with a smile.

.........

Wei Cheng didn't stay after saying hello, went to the back kitchen by himself, and ordered the back kitchen to cook some dishes, and eat with Wei Lei and the others.

Seeing that his master had a table with them today, Wei Hu was surprised, staring at the tiger's eyes, and shouted loudly: "Master, you don't want to eat with the lord? That's right, the lord's friend came, and the master was thrown aside before talking to him." Let's have lunch together."

Wei Lei rarely smiled.

After getting along with Wei Cheng, Wei Yi and Wei Jin knew that Wei Cheng was an easy-going master with different identities, and they still didn't dare to make fun of their master. Wei Huhu was confused and dared to say that if they wanted to laugh, they were both. Desperately hold back a smile.

Wei Cheng sat firmly on Mount Tai, raised his eyelids, and continued to pick up vegetables in his hands. He always said something amazing about this subordinate Wei Hu. Wei Cheng didn't think much about it. Tiger is joking. Of course, there are still some rules to be followed here. Be serious when you should be serious, easy-going when you should be easy-going, and just grasp the tightness.

Wei Cheng said indifferently: "Wei Hu, you are going to move goods at the dock tomorrow, you are too free."

Tomorrow is the delivery date of the sea goods.

When Wei Hu heard this, he protested loudly: "I'm not idle. I'm busy every day. I'm busy helping in the back kitchen and being the lord's guard. I don't want to go to the pier. The crabs last time were too scary. They can bite people. Thief pain."

The last time he dealt with seafood, he was bitten by the "running" crab, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how vigorously he shook it. He thought the crab was growing on him, but now he wants to hide when he sees the crab.

Wei Hu heard that the crab changed color!

Wei Hu begs for mercy!
