Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 283

Early in the morning, the second brother and his wife rushed to the town. Before leaving, Zhong Ruyi asked her to take more silver with her, "What if it comes in handy?"

Also.

Just take it with you. If it’s really useful, you don’t have to rush back to get it.

So Liu Yu Niang went back to her room, took ten taels of silver and left.

When the couple came back, Zhong Ruyi and Chen Dongzhi had just gone to the mountain to cut two jars of honey.

Seeing that Liu Yu Niang's eyes were red and her expression was worried and aggrieved, I thought, isn't this just visiting a patient?

Why do you seem to have been wronged after coming back?

Zhong Laoer's expression wasn't good either, but it was much better than Liu Yu Niang's.

As a member of the in-laws' family, Zhong Ruyi could not ask too many questions. She could only pretend that she did not see anything, greeted the two of them, and went back to her room.

She just heard from Chen Dongzhi that the sachet he gave her last time contained not only a piece of jade, but also a house deed!

Chen Dongzhi thought she had seen it a long time ago and wondered why she didn't mention going to take a look.

After asking, I learned that after Zhong Ruyi took the sachet back, she only looked at the stitching on the outside and didn't look inside carefully, so naturally she didn't notice that there was a house deed inside.

So when Chen Dongzhi asked her about it, she looked confused. "House deed? What house deed? I didn't see it."

"I put it in the sachet. Open it when you get back. It should have been squeezed inside by the jade."

Zhong Ruyi didn't want to go back to check, so she asked directly, "Where is the title deed? Did you buy a house for me?"

Chen Dongzhi lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. "I see that you are always running back and forth between the town and the village. I thought I might as well buy you a small yard so that you can rest there when you are free, without having to squeeze in with others."

Small yard?

Zhong Ruyi was stunned.

She had gone to the pawnshop to ask about store rents. A store in a good location would cost dozens of taels of silver a month. If she were to buy it, she now had the financial means to do so, but she had never thought about it.

She asked stupidly, "How much did you pay for it?"

"...I bought it for one hundred and ten taels of silver." Although Chen Dongzhi was very straightforward when he bought it, he was still not sure whether Zhong Ruyi thought he was spending money lavishly, so he spoke cautiously.

One hundred and ten taels.

Zhong Ruyi blinked. If it were in the past, she would definitely think it was expensive, but she had made a lot of money from her business this year and had a few thousand taels in savings, so she felt that one hundred and ten taels was not too bad.

"Where did you buy it?"

Chen Dongzhi said honestly, "It's on the street behind the escort agency. I've been to that alley a few times. There are only five or six families living there. It's quite quiet and not noisy."

There are also many vacant courtyards on Fu'an Street, and the prices are much cheaper, but there are relatively many people living there, and there are always some short-sighted people doing some sneaky things among the people coming and going.

The place he bought was inhabited by wealthy families. There were only six or seven households in one alley, and the area was large.

There are also larger ones, where only three or two households live in one alley.

But those were where families like the Yu family or the Fang family lived, and they couldn't live there.

Zhong Ruyi nodded, "Let's go take a look next time we have a chance. You have the key, right?"

"Yes, I left it at home and didn't bring it with me. I'll give you the key next time we go together."

So the first thing Zhong Ruyi did when she rushed home was to go back to her room to look for the sachet. She took out the house deed from the sachet and read carefully the names of the buyer, seller, middleman, transaction price, and other regulations written on it.

The signature on the house purchase document is signed by Chen Dongzhi, and he just said that he would find a time to transfer the ownership.

whee.

Zhong Ruyi was very happy. She looked at the title deed again and again until Zhang Mingzhu called her from outside, then she put it away and went out.

"What's wrong?" As soon as she went out, she saw Zhang Mingzhu with something in her clothes pocket, taking it out bit by bit.

"Come quickly! Xiao Huang and I just went up the mountain to pick some wild fruits." Zhang Mingzhu was so excited that it seemed that what they picked were not wild fruits but gold.

Xiao Huang lay on the ground with his tongue hanging out, obviously very tired. When he saw Zhong Ruyi coming out, he just wagged his tail twice and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zhong Ruyi looked over and saw that they were picking wild pomegranates and wild kiwis.

The kiwi was very small. She took a kiwi and squeezed it open to taste it. It was not very sour, but it was not very sweet either.

"Eat this!" Zhang Mingzhu peeled a pomegranate and gave it to her.

The pomegranate was very ripe and had cracked open, revealing the plump red flesh inside.

"It's quite sweet." She put one in her mouth. It was indeed sweet, especially after eating the tasteless kiwi fruit. "Where did you pick it?"

Seeing that she liked it, Zhang Mingzhu smiled and said, "I don't know either. Xiao Huang took me there."

When Xiao Huang heard someone calling his name, his tail moved, his eyes opened a little, and he soon fell asleep again.

After picking so many wild pomegranates and kiwis, Zhong Ruyi couldn't eat them all, so she sorted out some that looked good and prepared to give them to Mr. and Mrs. Zhong to try.

As soon as she arrived at her third brother's house, she heard a lot of noise inside.

It was Mother Zhong’s voice.

"You are so bold! How dare you secretly open Huang Ying's unfinished wine? Do you know that the wine will be ruined if you do this?"

As soon as I entered, I saw my third sister-in-law stopping Mother Zhong. Father Zhong was standing by the table, head down and not daring to speak, but as soon as Mother Zhong's feet moved closer to him, he would step back for fear of being beaten.

"Mom, forget it. A little alcohol won't cause any harm. Dad already knows about it and he won't do this again next time." Huang Ying tried to persuade them for a long time. The two had just had a fight.

To be more precise, it was Mother Zhong who unilaterally beat Father Zhong, and Father Zhong did not dare to fight back.

"Dad, Mom, Third Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Seeing her daughter coming, Zhong's mother suppressed her anger and invited her daughter to come in and sit down.

The house was cleaned tidy. Zhong Ruyi had only been here twice, and the last time she came, she didn't see any flowers planted in the yard.

This time, there were roses planted by the courtyard wall. Although the flowering season had passed, there were still a few small flowers hanging on the branches.

Huang Ying saw her eyes fall on the rose and said with a smile, "This is a wild flower that your third brother dug up from the mountain. I thought it was pretty, so I planted it in the yard."

"It looks great. I'll dig one up and plant it at home next time."

It took Mr. Zhong a long time to dare to come over and sit down. As soon as he saw Mrs. Zhong, he became furious.

Afraid that the mother and daughter might have a disagreement in her presence, Huang Ying very understandingly said that she would go to the back of the house to see if the hens had laid eggs.

In fact, Zhong Ruyi just came to take a look and had nothing private to say.

But seeing how angry Mother Zhong was, he still tried to persuade her with a few words.

"Dad, I have to criticize you for this. You know that drinking too much is bad for your health, so why don't you listen to my advice?"

Ever since Mr. Zhong came to live with his young daughter-in-law, he has been as happy as a mouse falling into a rice jar.

From time to time, I can help taste the quality of the wine and drink a few glasses to satisfy my craving.

Mr. Zhong hung his head and let his wife and daughter educate him.
