Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 180

Zhong Ruyi went out as soon as she heard the noise. She had no recollection of saving anyone, let alone the young master of a wealthy merchant.

Two carriages were parked at the door. A young girl was standing beside the carriages. When she saw someone coming out, she put on a perfect smile and asked, "Excuse me, are you Miss Zhong?"

Seeing Zhong Ruyi nod, she turned around and said a few words to the carriage, then she reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

A white hand stretched out from the carriage and was held by the young girl, and then most of the body was revealed.

Zhong Ruyi was very surprised. Wasn't this the beautiful girl whom she had met in the cloth shop before?

Zhong's mother and others also came out. When they saw such a beautiful woman getting off the carriage, they were all shocked.

Zhong Ruyi looked at the beautiful woman's belly and felt a little sorry for some reason. It turned out that the beautiful woman was already married. Judging from her belly, she should be five or six months pregnant.

A plump lady and a little boy got off the carriage at the back.

However, Zhong Ruyi's attention was all on the beauty and he hadn't noticed them for the time being.

She rubbed her hands on her body and said a little embarrassedly, "My lady, my lady, you may have mistaken me for someone else. I don't remember saving the young master in your house."

Zhou Yuyan smiled faintly, "That's right, the two servants and He'er all said that you saved him."

As soon as the beauty opened her mouth, Zhong Ruyi didn't pay any attention to what she said. She was just immersed in her gentle voice.

"Miss Zhong, why don't we go in first? This is not a place to talk with so many people coming and going."

"Oh! Okay, please come in, ma'am!" Zhong Ruyi quickly led them in.

He asked Jiang Rong to go in and boil water and pour tea, while he wiped the table and said with a smile, "I'm so sorry, we don't have anything good to offer you."

The slightly plump lady who followed in looked around with a bit of disgust in her eyes, but she just pouted and said nothing.

Only then did Zhong Ruyi see the little boy who came with them, and she remembered that this little boy was the one who choked on candy beans that day.

The little boy saw her looking at him and smiled shyly.

After the group sat down, Zhou Yuyan smiled and said, "Miss Zhong, we are very grateful to you for saving our He'er. We wanted to come to your house to thank you a few days ago, but after we came here, we found out that you had returned to the village. May I ask which village you are from?"

Zhong Ruyi almost got lost in her smile again, but quickly came to her senses and said, "We are from Xinghua Village."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuyan's smile deepened. "What a coincidence! I was from Yangliu Village before I got married. I forgot to introduce you. This is my mother-in-law. My surname is Zhou and my given name is Yuyan. I think you should be about the same age as my sister, so you can just call me sister."

Zhong Ruyi blinked and said, "She was from Yangliu Village, her surname was Zhou, and her name was Zhou Yuyan."

So familiar.

Zhou Yuru, Zhou Yuyan.

Could these two be sisters?

It seems that I heard that Zhou Yuru had a sister who was sold to a wealthy businessman in town.

No way?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

She boldly asked, "Sister Zhou, is your sister's name Zhou Yuru?"

Zhou Yuyan was also wondering how she knew her sister's name.

As soon as she saw her expression, Zhong Ruyi knew that she had guessed right.

This is a bit embarrassing.

She rubbed her hands and said, "Sister Zhou, it's like this. My third brother and your sister had some contact before, so I know your sister's name."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Yuyan didn't think much about it and just thought that her mother had shown Yu Ruxiang Zhong Ruyi's third brother.

Thinking of her parents, her expression became indifferent.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Zhong Ruyi remembered that the beauty in front of her was sold by Zhou's father and mother, and knew that she was thinking about the bad things that happened in the past.

"Sister Zhou, I just happened to meet your young master that day. Look, you guys specially came to my house. How embarrassing!"

Mrs. Yu, the slightly plump lady, spoke at this time. This was the first time she spoke since she came in, but what she said was not very nice.

"It's like this. Since you saved our Yu family's young master, we should come to thank you. Here, this is one thousand taels and the deed to a store. This is our little token of appreciation."

What she meant was that you take the money, and we'll be even from now on, and you can no longer use the favor of saving your life to curry favor with them.

One thousand taels! And the deed to a store!

The eyes of Zhong's mother, Zhong Laoer and others widened.

Zhong Ruyi naturally understood the meaning of her words, but she didn't expect that such a simple thing would bring her such a big surprise.

Naturally, she would not refuse the money and house deeds that were delivered to her door. She was not someone who regarded money as dirt.

She smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, "Mrs. Yu, you are so polite to hold these things!"

Although he said this, he quickly accepted the 1,000 taels of silver and the house deed.

“…”Mrs. Yu.

Forget it, the purpose of her coming today was to make this family accept the money so that they would never ask for anything else by using the gratitude for saving their lives.

It would be best if they accepted it, but if they didn't, she had other ways to make them accept the money.

After all, many of the shops on this street are owned by the Yu family.

If she refused to accept it, he could secretly send someone to trip her up, and then pretend that he had helped them openly. In this way, the gratitude for saving her life would be offset.

Zhou Yuyan waved to her son, "Come over here quickly to thank your sister Ruyi."

Yu Yunhe came running over, jumping and skipping. He had been playing with two servants while the group was talking, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Zhou Yuyan took the handkerchief and wiped his sweat off, with a doting smile on her face, "Call me Sister Ruyi."

The little boy was about to call her sister, but Zhong Ruyi stopped him with a smile, "No, you should still call her aunt. After all, I call your mother sister. If you call me sister too, won't the relationship be messed up?"

Yu Yunhe looked at his mother and then at his grandmother. After getting a signal from both of them, he called out "Aunt Ruyi" in a crisp voice.

Although Zhong Ruyi accepted the silver, it does not mean that the relationship between the two families has ended.

Madam Yu was very business-minded. She asked directly, "Miss Zhong, I want to ask you how you saved our He'er that day. I asked the two servants who went out with He'er, but none of them could explain it clearly."

The Yu family's business is large and diverse, involving restaurants, teahouses, rouge shops, snack shops, clinics, and rice shops.

It would be a good idea to teach this method to people in medical clinics. You know, several medical clinics under the Yu family's name have had problems.

Among them, there are several children like He'er, who had foreign objects stuck in their throats and went to the clinic for treatment, but many times the clinic was unable to help.

Many children died of suffocation not long after being sent there, but their families didn't care about it. They thought that the children died in your clinic, and that the doctors in your clinic had poor medical skills and killed them!
