Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 223

No one expected that this vicious old lady who sold her third brother's grandchildren and daughter-in-law would dare to go to the pawnbroker to cause trouble.

Zhong Ruyi asked him to sit down and talk slowly.

“I saw it with my own eyes. At first I thought I had misjudged them because I was not sure and was afraid of being harassed by them again, so I hid myself and only came out after they left.

The people from the pawnbroker saw me and told me not to run around, saying that my grandma and her friends had come twice and told the people from the pawnbroker to return the people to them if they didn’t return the money, and that they were going to take us to another pawnbroker and sell us again.”

The people in the dental clinic were quite professional and did not tell them where Jiang Qin and others were sold.

Seeing Jiang Qin's worried look, Zhong Ruyi comforted him in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I bought you with real money, and you signed a contract to sell yourself to me at the pawnbroker. If they dare to cause trouble, I will take your contract to the police and they won't get anything good out of it."

But how did they know that Jiang Qin and others were bought by someone? Even if they were bought by someone, they shouldn't have reacted so strongly. They still received money when they sold Jiang Qin and others to the dental clinic.

Can't figure it out.

Sun Tao bit her lip with a look of fear on her face, "Ruyi, if they come to cause trouble, then, then what should I do?"

She had been bullied by her mother-in-law and several of her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law for a long time. During this period, she was no longer as timid as before and had become more cheerful.

Even now, I still feel scared when I hear their names.

Zhong Ruyi knew that this was caused by long-term oppression and could not be changed in a short time.

Who can completely get rid of the shadow brought by years of bullying?

She reached out and patted Sun Tao's shoulder, and felt that she was actually trembling slightly.

"It's okay. You and Jiang Qin can stay in the store during this time. I'll ask my second brother to help buy vegetables and meat and send them over. Don't worry."

Sun Tao's trembling body barely calmed down and he glanced at Zhong Ruyi.

Zhong Ruyi didn’t know how to describe that look. There was fear and terror in it, but more of it was hatred.

She had clearly gotten rid of them and was living the life she wanted.

But they were still unwilling to let me go, and even wanted me to go back into that fire pit.

When sleeping at night, Sun Tao dreamed about the days when he was in Jiangjia Village.

Because when Xiaorong came back from washing clothes, the food at home had already been eaten, so I secretly left half a steamed bun for her.

My mother-in-law falsely accused me of stealing and beat me up.

It really hurts when that wrist-thick wooden stick hits my body.

At that time, she thought that it would be better if she was beaten to death. If she died, she would not have to face all this. She had to go hungry every day and do work at home and in the fields. If she was not satisfied with anything, anyone could come and step on her.

When my uncle's youngest child saw me lying on the ground, he would come over and spit on my face, then run away laughing.

But after being beaten half to death and in a trance, she heard the crying of three children again.

They lay on top of themselves and took the beatings that should have fallen on them.

Finally the wooden stick broke. The mother-in-law was so angry that she started cursing and said that she was a worthless person who couldn't die even after the stick was broken.

The children cried and called out to her, begging her not to die, because if she died they would become bastards without a father or a mother.

What did she say then?

Yes, she said that she would not die, would be with them forever, and would watch them grow up and get married.

She still remembers that when she first got married, Xiaorong and Xiaoqin looked at her with curiosity, caution, and a desire for the role of mother.

When Xiaoyun was born, my mother-in-law said that she was a girl and worthless, so there was no need for her to eat good food.

Xiaoqin secretly went down to the river to catch some fish and brought them back to make soup for her to drink to nourish her body.

She had no milk, so Xiaorong used the only silver bracelet left to her by her mother to exchange for two bowls of goat's milk for Xiaoyun to drink.

I and my children finally live a good life, but there are some short-sighted people who want to ruin it.

Late at night, Sun Tao opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of hatred for that family.

If, if they dare to come!

I chopped them up one by one just like I did when I made pickled fish during the day!

Zhong Ruyi was also a little worried that the old lady of the Jiang family would come to cause trouble, so she had been staying in the restaurant these days and had gone to the convenience store less often.

But for some reason, they never came, and Zhong Ruyi forgot about it.

A job recruitment notice had been posted at the door, and Xie Hai was asked to write it. However, there was no way out as she didn't know how to use a brush, and the words she wrote looked like they had been chewed by a dog, and were horrible to look at.

The advertisement has been posted for more than ten days but no one has been recruited. There are quite a lot of people who come to inquire, but she is not very satisfied.

Zhong Ruyi had just come out from washing vegetables when Xie Hai asked her, "Boss, do you have any watermelons left today? I want to buy some."

"Yes, go to the yard after work and get them. There are still five or six left."

Xie Hai responded happily and continued to settle the accounts with his head down.

A carriage drove up to the door with a clatter and stopped quickly. Yu Yunhe and Mrs. Yu got out of the carriage.

"Sister Ruyi! I'm here to play with you!" Yu Yunhe ran in happily, and Mrs. Yu kept telling him to slow down and be careful not to fall.

As soon as she entered the house, she looked for Cuicui. When she didn't see anyone, she looked up and asked, "Sister Ruyi, isn't Sister Cuicui here?"

Zhong Ruyi smiled and touched his little head. "Your sister Cuicui is at home, not in the store. If you want to find her, you have to go to the village."

Yu Yunhe nodded as if he understood, and then became happy again, "Sister Ruyi, can you take me to your village next time?"

"You are so naughty, won't you cause trouble if you go there?" Mrs. Yu's voice followed.

She nodded to Zhong Ruyi, then found a stool and sat down. "This child has been staying at home all these days. I happened to be free today, so I took him out for a walk."

There were not many people in the store now. Sun Tao brought out a plate of sliced ​​watermelons from the kitchen. "Have some watermelons. These are all grown by us. They are very sweet!"

Madam Yu glanced at the plate of water melons that were brought out and asked, "Did you grow these yourself?"

It's not her fault. She is busy with business on weekdays and she had no idea that someone in the town was selling watermelons.

The water melons we eat in the mansion now are brought back by their own people on the boat.

Zhong Ruyi smiled and said, "Try it."

Mrs. Yu didn't hesitate to give a piece to her grandson first, then took a piece herself and started eating elegantly.

So sweet!

The flesh is bright red, crisp, sweet and juicy, with plenty of juice. Just one bite will make you open your eyes wide and you can't help but take another bite.

It was normal for poorer families not to know what water melon tasted like as they had never eaten it. However, the people from Yufu who went out on boats would bring back a boat full of water melons in early June every year.

Except for those sold to the restaurant, the rest were eaten by themselves, so the people in the mansion never bought water melons from outside.

I always thought that the water melons I had before were pretty good, but I didn’t expect that there are even sweeter water melons. The comparison is like the difference between boiled water and honey!
