Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 162

It is noon now and the villagers are in the habit of taking a nap, so there are not many people on the road now.

Zhang Mingzhu hid aside when Li Guihua came out with a broom. She waited until Li Guihua had almost finished beating her before she came out to help Zhong Mei up. "Mom, are you okay? They are so rude!"

Although Zhong Mei was running all the time, she couldn't keep up with the pace and was hit by the broom several times, causing a burning pain.

Zhong Ruyi had already stood aside when her sister-in-law came out with a broom, and she also pulled Jiang Qin along with her.

She slapped Zhang Mingcong and Zhong Mei respectively, but she herself was not hurt. Jiang Qin was also fine except that his clothes were a little torn.

If the two of them didn't want to squeeze in, she wouldn't have hit them. As a result, this so-called cousin not only grabbed her hand, but Zhong Mei even dared to talk about her mother.

If you don't teach them a lesson, they will think you are afraid of them.

She said to Mr. Zhong with a wronged look on her face, "Dad! They just wanted to beat me and scolded me for being uneducated, saying that my mother didn't teach me well! You have to teach me what manners mean on behalf of my mother!"

Mr. Zhong was furious. His wife and daughter were bullied like this. He couldn't accept it even if the person was his own sister.

He shouted angrily, raised the wooden stick and hit Zhang Mingcong.

"I can't bear to hit my daughter myself. Who do you think you are? How dare you hit my daughter? Do you think we are all dead?"

Zhong Mei watched her brother beating her son, her eyes were red with anger and she wanted to rush forward to protect her son, "Second brother! Are you crazy? You treat us like this for a little girl! I am your biological sister! If I knew about this, I would never forgive you!"

Mr. Zhong didn't care about all this. He picked up the wooden stick and hit Zhang Mingcong. He also cleverly avoided Zhong Mei and just wanted to hit her son.

"Second brother! Stop hitting me! I'll beat you to death if you continue!" Zhong Mei burst into tears while Zhang Mingzhu trembled beside her.

Finally, Zhong's father got tired of beating him, so he threw away the stick in his hand and said, panting, "You bullied my wife and daughter, so I beat your son. Isn't this fair?"

He sneered and said, "You still dare to mention mother? Where is your conscience? If you hadn't insisted on marrying Zhang Dao, would mother have been so angry that she would have fallen ill? You also stole mother's money. How on earth did you have the nerve to come to my house these days? Are you pretending to be nonchalant and pretending that these things never happened?"

"Get out of here! If you come here again, I'll break your son's legs next time!"

"...Second brother, you are so heartless..." Zhong Mei looked at Zhong's father with tears in her eyes, not understanding why her second brother who loved her before suddenly became like this.

In the end, Zhong Mei, her mother and her two children supported each other and walked away.

"Dad, don't be angry, let's go in." Zhong Ruyi pulled her father's arm and saw that his face was red with anger.

Even when he sat down in the main hall, Mr. Zhong's face was still dark. He really didn't expect that his sister would dare to hit his own daughter. Did she think he was dead?

"Calm down." Zhong Ruyi patted his father's back, a little worried that he might get high blood pressure from being so angry.

After a long while, Mr. Zhong finally calmed down and looked at his daughter with some heartache, "Did she hurt you? It's all your fault that I'm useless. I let you be bullied like this right at your doorstep."

Zhong Ruyi shook her head. "No, it was just that my aunt's son pulled my hand and I hit him. Then my aunt wanted to hit me and I also hit her."

Mr. Zhong was stunned for a moment, then his face was distressed, "My poor daughter, your hand must be hurt."

He immediately asked Zhong Laosan to kill a chicken and give his daughter a good nourishment in the evening.

Before Zhong Ruyi could stop him, the third brother had already gone out to the chicken coop to catch chickens.

"......" Zhong Ruyi.

There was no need to kill a chicken for her, but she didn't want to let her father down.

She thought about it and ran back to her room and took out some sunshine roses from the space in a basket.

"Dad, this is what I brought back from town. Try it. My mom ate a lot of it and said it was delicious."

Father Zhong looked at the basket of juicy green fruits and a question popped up in his mind, "Daughter, did you buy this in town?"

Zhong Ruyi nodded.

"This isn't cheap, is it?" Father Zhong picked up a string, but looked at it in his hand without eating it.

Very beautiful fruits, all uniform in size, and exuding a fruity aroma.

He couldn't help but picked one and put it in his mouth to taste it. Then his eyes lit up. It was so sweet and juicy, with a fruity and floral aroma.

Zhong Ruyi gave a string to her eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. Since the children were not at home, Jiang Qin also gave a string.

Holding the fruit in his hand, Jiang Qin was a little confused. Why didn't he remember that Sister Ruyi bought these in town?

After taking it, Sister-in-law was more curious than wanting to eat it, so she kept holding it in her hand to study it.

The second sister-in-law, who had already eaten, just took it and ate it silently, and then gave her an expression that said you understand me.

"Oh, by the way, these are some seeds I bought in town. Dad and sister-in-law, you can sow them in the vegetable garden behind our house when you have time."

She took out the watermelon seeds in the space, mixed them with the seeds she bought from the vendor, and gave them to her sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law had already started eating and didn't pay any attention to what Zhong Ruyi said. She only reacted at the end and took the packets of seeds.

After everyone finished eating a bunch of grapes, they remembered that a few children hadn't gotten any, and Zhong Laosan, who went to kill the chickens, hadn't gotten any either.

"It doesn't matter, there's more in the basket." Zhong Ruyi said with a smile.

"Ahem!" Father Zhong was a little embarrassed, "My daughter, this fruit is so delicious, it must have cost a lot of money, right? You can just buy it for yourself in the future, Dad doesn't like it!"

As a person who says he doesn't like to eat, the bunch of Sunshine Roses that Zhong Ruyi gave to her father weighed about two kilograms, the heaviest in the basket.

Now this bunch of grapes is left with only one branch, and the same goes for the others.

"Dad, I have something to tell you," Zhong Ruyi deliberately changed the subject, "Didn't you ask my third brother to get me some money?"

Father Zhong nodded, a little puzzled. At that time, he heard his wife say that his daughter wanted to open another store in the town. He was worried that his daughter would not have enough money, so when his youngest son and his family were going to give money to his daughter, he secretly gave his private money that he had saved for a long time to his youngest son and asked him to help give money to his daughter.

"What's wrong? My daughter, don't you have enough money to spend?" Father Zhong asked her.

Zhong Ruyi shook her head, with some pity for her father in her eyes, "Dad, why don't you tell my third brother to give it to me in private?"

Zhong Lao San went to kill the chicken. When Zhong Lao Da heard what his younger sister said, he was also a little confused, "What's the difference between giving it in private and giving it in person?"

"Brother, wasn't mother there when third brother gave me the money?" She didn't finish her words.

Mr. Zhong immediately understood what she meant. His face turned red and white, and he almost wanted to go out and grab his youngest son and beat him up.

He lowered his voice and asked, "My daughter, how is your mother? Is she angry with your father?" Seeing his daughter nodded, he wailed in his heart: My life is over!

Mr. Zhong pretended to be calm. He said that he had saved the money secretly, and the old woman didn't know that he had hidden the private money. As long as he didn't admit it, it would be fine.

Before Boss Zhong could understand what was going on, the eldest and second sisters-in-law beside him had already understood what the youngest sister meant and almost laughed out loud, but luckily they held it back.

Boss Zhong shrank his neck and dared not speak. He then realized that the money his father gave to his younger sister was private money, which meant that even mother didn't know about this money. It seemed that his father would be in trouble when mother came back.

Jiang Qin on the side pursed his lips and smiled secretly. This was the most relaxing time he had ever had in all these years.
