Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 148

When all the food was served, Jiang Rong and her sister, as well as Jiang Qin, stood up, not daring to sit down.

Mother Zhong was still surprised, "Sit down, sit down and eat."

Jiang Rong said, "Auntie, let's wait until you guys finish eating before we eat."

"Please sit down. We don't have the habit of giving people leftovers in our family." Zhong Ruyi pointed to a few empty seats and asked them to sit down.

Jiang Rong wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhong Ruyi, "I bought you, you have to do whatever I tell you to do. I'll let you sit down and eat now."

When they sat at the table, Jiang Rong's eyes were still a little red. He made up his mind to work hard for Miss Zhong and repay her.

Zhong Ruyi didn't know what she was thinking. She first picked up a piece of rabbit meat for her mother, then picked up a piece for Chen Dongzhi, and then started eating her own food.

Who knew that when she looked up to pick up some vegetables with her chopsticks, she saw two sad faces in front of her. Zhong Laosan looked aggrieved, "Little sister, it's fine if you pick some for mom, but why does he get some too?"

He looked at Chen Dongzhi with a sad look, whose lips curled up. This look gave Zhong Ruyi goosebumps.

Zhong Laoer had the same expression, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Xiaomei silently, hoping that Xiaomei could understand what he meant.

"......" Zhong Ruyi picked up a piece of vegetables for each of them with chopsticks, which barely comforted their wounded hearts.

Zhong Laosan looked at Chen Dongzhi smugly and gave him a provocative look.

Chen Dongzhi lowered his mouth corners and glanced at Zhong Ruyi. After making sure that Zhong Ruyi saw his gaze, he lowered his head and ate the white rice in the bowl.

"......" Zhong Ruyi.

She didn't want to pay attention to these people anymore, so she asked the Jiang siblings, who were still a little reserved, to eat more food.

Seeing that Jiang Yun really liked eating cold rabbit, he picked up some for her with his chopsticks.

This action caught Chen Dongzhi's attention. He looked at her with a condemning look, which probably meant, "I want it too!"

Seeing that Zhong Ruyi had no intention of picking up any food for him, he adopted a roundabout tactic and put a piece of rabbit meat into her bowl with chopsticks.

Zhong Laosan was not willing to be outdone, and the two of them took turns eating with their chopsticks, and soon Zhong Ruyi's bowl was full.

Mrs. Zhong, who had watched the whole thing, couldn't stand it anymore and exploded, "If you don't want to eat, stand outside! Stop arguing with me! My daughter is not here to serve you!"

Once Mrs. Zhong got angry, the three of them dared not do anything else and just lowered their heads to eat.

After dinner, Zhong Ruyi asked Jiang Rong to boil some water. The three siblings were all dirty and needed to take a bath.

While she was boiling water, Zhong's mother found some unused quilts for them so that they could sleep on the floor at night.

"Little sister, you should go back. It's already so dark, and you as a girl shouldn't wait outside. Dongzhi and I will go back now."

Zhong Laosan turned around and said to his younger sister, and gave Chen Dongzhi a look.

Chen Dongzhi ignored him and just stared at Zhong Ruyi.

As soon as she saw his eyes, Zhong Ruyi knew that he was still sulking about her refusal to accept his money today, and he didn't say much during the meal.

"Third brother, wait for us in front."

Zhong Laosan couldn't believe it. What did Xiaomei want to say to Chen Dongzhi? She had to let him go away.

Now there was one more person sulking. Zhong Laosan walked forward a few steps with an unhappy look on his face, ignoring the little sister's words asking him to go forward. He just stood there straight and refused to move.

Helplessly, Zhong Ruyi could only pull Chen Dongzhi back a few steps to prevent their whisper from being heard by the third brother.

"What? Are you still not happy?"

Chen Dongzhi pursed his lips and refused to speak, with his chin slightly raised with a stubborn expression, but the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress betrayed him.

Zhong Ruyi tilted her head, came close to him, stretched out her hand and gave him a smile, "Don't be unhappy, it's not a big deal, it's just money. When we get married, all your money will be under my control."

"I'm just leaving it with you temporarily now. When we get married, you can give it to me, right?"

Chen Dongzhi's expression became better. After thinking for a while, he said, "In that case, you can take the fifty taels first, and leave the rest with me."

His eyes were bright and startling. "Once we get married, all this money will be yours."

Fearing that he would be angry, Zhong Ruyi still took the fifty taels and said, "Go back quickly, it will be very cold after dark!"

Watching the two people walking away, Zhong Ruyi touched the fifty taels of silver in his arms and returned to the store.

Several tables that were originally placed in the corner of the store have been connected together and covered with quilts. There are no pillows, so people can only use clothes as padding.

When Zhong Ruyi came in, Jiang Rong was combing Jiang Yun's hair. They were both wearing Zhong Ruyi's clothes, while Jiang Qin was wearing her second brother's clothes.

The Jiang family was in such a hurry to sell them that they didn't even bother to pack their clothes. The clothes they were wearing hadn't been washed for more than ten days.

"I'll let you sleep like this tonight. I'll take you to the teahouse tomorrow after I finish my work."

She glanced at Jiang Qin, whose face was bruised and swollen, and said, "As for your injury, you need to go to the clinic tomorrow to make sure you don't get any internal injuries."

Jiang Qin waved his hands, "Sister Ruyi, my injury looks scary, but it's actually nothing serious. There's no need to waste money seeing a doctor."

"That won't do! I spent a lot of money to buy you. What if you have some internal injuries and don't see a doctor? What if a minor illness turns into a major one? What if you die? Then my money will be wasted, right?"

Jiang Qin pursed his lips. He knew that what Sister Ruyi said was unpleasant, but it was for his own good.

He nodded and almost knelt down again, but he held back when he thought of what she said during dinner.

"If you have nothing else to do, go to bed first. We have to get up early to do business tomorrow."

Late at night, the three Jiang siblings couldn't sleep. Jiang Qin turned over and found that his sister who was sleeping next to him was still with her eyes open.

He whispered, "Sister, I feel like I'm dreaming today. Pinch me to see if I'm still dreaming."

Jiang Rong also had a very unreal feeling, but she knew that all this was true, and someone really rescued them from the dental clinic.

It’s just that the three of them met a kind-hearted person, but I don’t know how their mother is doing.

She sighed. It was obvious that Jiang Yun, who was sleeping on her right, had also thought of this and couldn't help sobbing softly, "Sister, will we be able to see mother again in the future?"

Jiang Rong could only pat her back gently and comfort her, "It's okay. If mom runs away, she will definitely find a way to find us."

They knew very well what was not said afterwards. If their mother had not run away, it only meant that she had been sold to a very far place, and it would not be easy to see her in the future.
