Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 307

"No, no, I'm fine."

Afraid that his wife would not believe him, Chen Dongzhi rolled up his sleeves and indeed there were no scars on them, just a little redness.

"It really doesn't hurt?" Zhong Ruyi was still a little worried. Afraid that he didn't know it hurt, she pinched him.

Seeing that there was no expression of pain on his face, she was relieved, but she was still angry.

Zhang Mingzhu had already taken Cuicui back to the restaurant. When she saw that they came back a little late, she thought something had happened.

When he found out that it was his good-for-nothing brother who was behind the attack, he was furious. "Sooner or later, my mother will regret spoiling him like this. If I don't take care of him, sooner or later, someone else will take care of him!"

After all, he was her brother. The others present just listened to her complaints and didn't say a word.

By the evening, when it was getting dark, everyone was getting ready to go home after get off work.

Zhong Ruyi called Jiang Qin to a corner and whispered to him, "... leave you behind and run. It would be best if you can throw you into the yard."

Jiang Qin nodded and left briskly.

In the room, Zhong Ruyi remembered that she had asked Chen Dongzhi to buy the ointment in the morning and had not seen it yet, so she reached out to ask him for it.

Chen Dongzhi took out the ointment from the clothes he had changed and held it tightly, "Let me help you apply it. You can't see it yourself, so the ointment won't be applied properly."

Zhong Ruyi rolled her eyes at him and snatched the ointment away.

Bring it to you!

Who doesn't know what you are thinking?

It sounded nice to apply the medicine, but as I was applying it I didn't even know where to put my hands.

Chen Dongzhi looked innocent, as if to say, "What are you thinking about? I didn't mean that."

Zhong Ruyi didn't buy his trick and drove the man out before letting him in again until the medicine was taken.

Chen Dongzhi looked at the ointment that his wife had casually placed on the table after using it with some regret. He thought that he was just well-intentioned, but he didn't expect his wife to be so wary of him. It was really sad.

"Are you going to sleep or not?" Zhong Ruyi made the bed and saw the man still standing there stupidly, not knowing what he was thinking. "Go to bed early tonight, there will be fun to watch tomorrow."

Hearing this, Chen Dongzhi immediately jumped onto the bed, hugged his wife tightly, and buried his head in her neck. "I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep."

He hugged her too tightly, and Zhong Ruyi felt that she was being strangled and couldn't fall asleep at all. But no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn't get him to leave, so she could only endure it and sleep.

When I woke up the next day, my whole body ached and my hands and feet were numb.

She pushed the octopus-like man away in annoyance and got out of bed quickly. It was already daybreak, everyone who should have seen it had seen it, and the fun was about to begin. How could she still stay in bed?

"Hurry up! It's already daybreak. If you go too late you won't be able to see anything!"

The two hurried to the store and finally arrived. At the door, Zhang Mingzhu was enthusiastically selling egg cakes to a woman carrying a basket. "Sister-in-law, look, these cakes are made of fine flour, eggs and sugar. They are much safer to eat than those sold at other stalls!"

Seeing that she was so calm, I guess she didn't know that someone had thrown pig manure at her doorstep.

Zhang Mingzhu was in a good mood after selling two egg cakes. The slap marks on her face became even more swollen after a night, but she didn't care and continued to shout loudly.

On the other side, the Zhang family.

Zhong Mei has to get up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for the whole family, so she is usually the first one to get up.

But when she put today's breakfast on the table and was about to walk out of the yard, she smelled a foul odor.

She was a little suspicious. The smell was very familiar. At the end of the alley, there was a family that raised two pigs at home. Every day when the wind blew, the smell would drift to every corner.

Those who live nearby are suffering terribly.

But today the smell is much stinkier than usual, as if it's right under my nose.

She walked out quickly to see what was going on.

As a result, when she walked out, she couldn't help but scream.

The yard is full of pig manure!

There are rocking chairs and wooden tables on the courtyard wall and in the middle of the yard!

She was almost going crazy, and there were voices coming from outside the door.

"Oh my god! What happened to the Zhang family? Was they retaliated against?"

"Isn't this pig manure? Could it be the Ma family who did it? Doesn't their family raise pigs?"

"I don't think so. Didn't the two families have a quarrel last time? Maybe they just thought of revenge afterwards."

Zhong Mei's scream woke up the other people who were sleeping in the house. When they woke up, they saw pig manure all over the yard in front of the door and started cursing.

Old Mrs. Zhang asked with trembling hands what was going on?

"Why did someone throw pig manure at the door for no reason?"

She looked at her son and grandson, "Did you get into trouble again? Or did someone come to your house to pick on you because you didn't pay back the money you gambled?"

How could Zhang Dao and Zhang Mingcong, father and son, know who did this? But what Old Lady Zhang said was possible.

Yesterday, Zhang Mingcong robbed Zhang Mingzhu of one or two taels of silver to pay off the gambling house's debt. Now he wondered if the gambling house had come to his door? Was this just a small lesson for himself?

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He pushed away his mother who was standing stupidly at the door, said "I'm going to hide outside for a few days", and ran away stepping on the pig manure all over the ground.

When the other family members saw him like this, they all believed that it was he who caused the trouble, and they all looked disappointed and helpless.

What can we do?

There is only one male in the family, and the rest are two useless girls. Even if he is not good enough, he is still our family member, and the girls have to get married.

Think of this.

A few more wrinkles appeared on Old Mrs. Zhang's sad face. She went to work without even having breakfast. She and Grandpa Zhang were helping Mr. Wang build a house in the town recently, and they paid 80 cents for a meal a day.

No matter how hard-working they are, they can't stand their grandson being such a spendthrift!

Zhong Ruyi stood on tiptoe outside the crowd, listening attentively to the voices of the aunts in front of her.

"What a sin! What's the point of having a son like this? He's useless except for bringing trouble to the family!"

"That's right! I heard that his son owed a huge sum of money to the gambling house! Now someone has come to his house to seek revenge. Who knows, one day his limbs might be broken and he might be thrown into a corner to fend for himself!"

Eh?

What does this mean?

Did the Zhang family think that this was revenge from the gambling house? Didn't they think of her?

Zhong Ruyi burst into laughter. Chen Dongzhi beside her couldn't understand it at first, but after listening to the aunties in front talking, he figured out the whole story.

He leaned his head and whispered in her ear, "Did you hire someone to do this?"

She nodded with sparkling eyes, "Who told him to be so blind yesterday that he dared to hit you with a stick!"

It would be good enough if you didn't hire someone to beat him up and just threw some pig manure on him. And this pig manure has to be bought with money!

But when I heard the news coming from the Zhang family, I knew that the money was well spent!

Seeing that the whole yard was full of pig manure, Zhong Mei asked her husband to help clean it up, otherwise it would not be finished today.

Zhang Dao scratched his head and said, "Well, you do it first, I'll go out and get some fresh air."

Having said that, he left without looking back.

Zhong Mei was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.

They could only ask the neighbors for help to call back their married younger daughter Zhang Mingzhen to help. Fortunately, she was married nearby and could still be used.

Thinking about calling Mingzhu back to help?

Just like that, Zhang Mingzhu, who was enthusiastically explaining to the customers how much ingredients the egg cake in her hand had and was generous enough to give some leftovers to the customers for tasting, saw her neighbor coming to the stall.

"Mingzhu, someone threw feces at your house and your mother asked you to go back to help clean it up." The neighbor said and left.

The customer, who had already taken out coins to buy a few pieces of egg cakes, heard that someone had thrown feces at her house and felt that the egg cakes she had just eaten tasted strange, so she left in a hurry.
