Dad couldn't help but open his eyes wide. This was another debt he owed Young Master Wang, and it seemed like he could never pay it back.

It’s true that he loves his daughter, but the father just can’t bear to drive his “benefactor” away.

Forget it, let her be. He can't help anyway, so it's good enough that he doesn't cause trouble for his daughter.

Seeing that Dad looked rather depressed, Wen Meijiu came up, helped Dad straighten himself up, and comforted him:

“In fact, there are many benefits to following Prince Wang.

In addition to the house and your legs, the people around Prince Wang, Zhi Zheng and others, all have special skills, so they will have no problem protecting us on the road. This is also something you valued before."

Dad is very clear-headed. In the past, he agreed to go with Young Master Wang because he valued Young Master Wang. But now he has also seen clearly that Young Master Wang’s identity is a double-edged sword. In addition to protecting their family, it can also bring trouble to their family.

If that were not the case, why would Prince Wang and his men be so secretive and disguise themselves?

Seeing the truth but not saying it out loud, the matter has already been decided. The father does not want to add more psychological burden to his daughter, so he can only nod and pretend to have heard it.

My mother is a woman who doesn't understand much. Since her daughter and husband agree, she doesn't care and just focuses on cooking.

There are so many people and patients, so it is not enough to cook only one kind of food. Especially for the patient, Prince Wang, I have to cook some millet porridge for him separately.

Old Li wanted to do it himself, but seeing that he was clumsy, his mother took the job over.

Mother couldn't handle it all by herself, so she turned around and called Jinxiang.

Jin Xiang heard it and responded, but no one came for a long time. When her mother called again, she said:

"Mom, I'm here with my benefactor brother, please let your elder sister help you."

The children are usually very obedient and know how to be filial to their parents and help them with housework. Jinxiang's abnormal behavior caused her mother to be dissatisfied.

It’s not that the mother was unwilling to give orders to Wen Meijiu, but she felt that Wen Meijiu was in charge of the whole family’s eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, as well as some matters of the villagers, and she didn’t want to hold her back because of these trivial matters.

"What benefactor brother? It's only been a few days and they are all our benefactors. Can we still live like this?"

Mother said this in a low voice, not meaning to blame others. She just felt that Jinxiang was making excuses to be lazy and was not as obedient as before.

"Mom, what do you want to do? I'll do it."

Seeing that his mother was unhappy, Wen Meijiu quickly took over the conversation and rolled up his sleeves to help her light the fire.

Mother scooped water into the empty pot while explaining:

"Mother can handle it without you. Do you think Jinxiang is being cunning? Doesn't she know whether she is a benefactor or not?

Do they need her to accompany them?"

Wen Meijiu glanced back and raised her chin in the direction of Jin Xiang and Gu Junchu, "Mom, you see, Jin Xiang never does things in a cunning way."

Mother also raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Jin Xiang and Gu Junchu.

Not far away, Ren Meiluo was circling around Gu Junchu, asking questions all the time, and no one knew when he arrived.

"Jin Xiang is really trying to put on a good show, otherwise how could she have concealed the truth from the world, especially from a woman like me who is very cunning."

Wen Meijiu was right. Others might not care so much about their family affairs, but Ren Meiluo was always keeping an eye on them.

Those who didn't know would think that she was going to inherit all of their family's property and was afraid that outsiders would come and take advantage of her.

As soon as Gu Junchu arrived, she ran over to ask, fearing that the Wenmei Restaurant was already supporting Old Li and Old Li's nephew, and if Gu Junchu came, they would no longer want her Dazhu.

Although Ren Meiluo is a trouble, if used well, he can also promote Wen Meijiu, provided that Wen Meijiu has a legitimate reason to take in every person.

The person my mother least wants to see right now is Ren Meiluo. There's nothing she can do about it. They are from the same family and she can't separate them even if she wants to. It's also annoying to see them apart.

"She has so many things to say. There's nothing she doesn't want to know."

Mother withdrew her gaze and concentrated on cooking her meal.

The groundwork had already been laid out, so Wen Meijiu wasn't afraid that she would ask any questions, so he focused on making a fire.

I used a fire poker to poke the core of the fire and blew on it, and the fire began to burn.

Wen Meijiu shook the twig in his hand and whispered to his daughter in a serious tone:

"Mom, in addition to Gu Junchu, Zhi Zheng and his group will also be with us. I'm going to trouble you in the future."

When Wen Meijiu talked to Dad about this just now, Mom had already guessed about 70% of it. There are so many people around Young Master Wang, how could he only take in Old Li and Gu Junchu?

Be mentally prepared. Mom is not afraid of hard work, she is just worried about not having enough food.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Mother is not afraid of hard work, but she is afraid of so many mouths to feed. My daughter has a hard time getting food."

Mother felt sorry for him, Wen Meijiu was very moved, he stood up and kissed her on the face, and whispered in her ear:

"Don't worry, there is a lot of food stored. Even if a hundred people come, they won't be able to finish it all."

With Wen Meijiu's words, the mother felt relieved and said, "That's good. I'll do as you say."

Mom had no objection, Dad had no objection, but Ren Meiluo over there had an objection.

Just as the mother and the daughter were whispering, Ren Meiluo came over with a worried look on his face.

She didn't even pretend completely. How could she just fainted from hunger and then come to their house so lively and active to meddle in their affairs?

"Lanzhi, they say that the little brat is eating me out of my house, so I can't let that little beggar stay!"

As soon as Ren Meiluo came up, he anxiously pulled his mother's arm.

My mother was putting millet into the pot of water, and she almost spilled the millet onto the ground outside.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, my mother, who was already dissatisfied with Ren Meiluo, simply vented her anger.

"Sister-in-law, what does this have to do with you? Why do you want to control everything?"

Ren Meiluo's eyes widened. Dong Lanzhi never dared to treat her like this before. But after Wen Meijiu came back, Dong Lanzhi became more assertive and only dared to fight back when they were quarreling.

Now, she was controlling her temper when talking to Dong Lanzhi, so why was she so impatient?

Ren Meiluo swallowed hard, thought about it, and seeing Wen Meijiu beside him, he did not dare to argue with Dong Lanzhi.

The scene of Wen Meijiu fighting with the black-faced man with a dagger just now was spread widely among everyone. Everyone was shocked. No one knew that the girl from Erlang's family had such ability.

Ren Meiluo was frightened by the power of Wen Meijiu, so he quietly lowered his posture and spoke to his mother in a gentle voice:

"Lanzhi, you may not know the pros and cons of this.

I have asked just now, not only the little beggar can eat, but he also has a grandfather and many uncles, all of whom are grown men who can eat.

He is your benefactor, so just give him a meal and send him away. If you want to keep him, then are you going to support the family behind him or not?"

Ren Meiluo was so anxious, definitely not because she was concerned about Wen Meijiu's family not being able to support others, but because she had asked Gu Junchu if he could drive a carriage, and Gu Junchu said he could.

This scared her. Gu Junchu was younger than Dazhu and must have eaten less than Dazhu. Besides, he could drive a carriage and had no family members who were against Wen Meijiu, so he might replace Dazhu.

Dazhu works for Wenmei Restaurant, and she can come over from time to time to ask for favors. Even if she can't get any advantage, Dazhu can earn enough food for two people, so it's worth it.
