Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Guan Bao sat up from the bed, clenched his fists, and said firmly: "Of course I will go. It would be better for a grown man to die than to stay at home and be taken care of by a woman every day."

"Well, brother, you will definitely find something suitable for you to do. Don't be sad or lose your ambition." Guan Shaorong also encouraged him.

Guan Baolai got up, changed his clothes and washed up, while Guan Shaorong went out on his own.

After a while, I saw my brother coming out dressed neatly, so I smiled and said, "Brother is also a good-looking man, and looks very reliable. He will definitely find a job."

Guan Baolai looked at her and forced a smile, saying, "I'll go to Zang Yaxuan right now to see if there's anything I can do. If not, I'll pick up a load of goods and go work as a peddler."

Seeing that he was so sure, Guan Shaorong did not discourage him. Instead, he encouraged him with a smile and went out with him.

Zangyaxuan and Jinxiuge.

Yue Niang and Du Wenxiu were sitting in a private room eating watermelon. They asked the waiter to pick up a few pieces of watermelon and send them to An Jingning and Master Zhang.

"We need to change the names of these rooms. We don't have much knowledge, and if we still use such flowery words, it might make people feel that we are copying others but end up with something worse, which will only add to the jokes."

"And as time goes by, if people outside know that there are two women in charge of the family, I'm afraid there will be a lot of weird things waiting to happen."

"Those scholars are poor and value their reputation the most. I am too lazy to serve them, so I will just change them."

The two of them were talking back and forth, and the fat shopkeeper sitting nearby kept raising his hand to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Manager Yuan, if you feel hot, come sit over and eat melon with me. By the way, let's discuss the renovation of Zang Yaxuan so that we can start the work tomorrow."

"This... Madam, this was bought by the young master before. It's all the young master's hard work. He has not earned back the money yet and has to give it up and start over. This, this..."

Shopkeeper Yuan's heart was bleeding.

He has followed the young master since he went out to do business. This is the first time the young master has gone out without him.

This time, as soon as the young mistress took over, she wanted to overturn the young master's hard work. He felt it necessary to protect the house for the young master and not wait until he came back and felt heartbroken. No matter how angry he was, it would be too late.

"Oh? It seems that the young master did not discuss this with Shopkeeper Yuan. We had corresponded earlier and he promised to do as I said. Why is it that it is no longer valid when it comes to Shopkeeper Yuan?"

Yue Niang put down the half-eaten watermelon in her hand, wiped her delicate little hands with a handkerchief, looked at Manager Yuan with a half-smile and said.

Shopkeeper Yuan lowered his head, but was very stubborn: "Madam, may I take a look at the young master's letter?"

"Oh." Yue Niang sneered, "Shopkeeper Yuan really doesn't consider himself an outsider. He even wants to take a look at the letters between the young couple."

Shopkeeper Yuan's face turned red due to her bullying. He pursed his lips several times but didn't say a word.

This was Yue Niang's business. Du Wenxiu sat aside and said nothing, but she didn't know that Manager Yuan had come to her again:

"I just don't know whether this is Young Madam's idea or Madam Du's idea?"

Du Wenxiu was surprised and looked up at Shopkeeper Yuan: "Shopkeeper Yuan, I have my own plan to open a restaurant, but investing in Zang Yaxuan is something that your young master and young mistress have discussed."

Yue Niang also had a gloomy face and said coldly: "It seems that Manager Yuan is a loyal servant. The young master did not take you with him when he left, but he was shortsighted."

Just as Manager Yuan was about to say something, Yue Niang interrupted him and said, "Manager Yuan is loyal, but it would be a waste of his talent if he stayed with me."

"I will write a letter right away and have someone send it to the young master as fast as possible. Manager Yuan can deliver the letter for me and ask the young master if I have lied."

The voice became colder and colder towards the end.

Shopkeeper Yuan felt that he might have misjudged the woman in front of him, but since things had come to this point, he could only bow and accept the offer, then turn around and leave.

"Let's discuss our business first. Once it's decided, we'll find someone to start the work and try to open the business as soon as possible." Yue Niang didn't care at all and turned to say to Du Wenxiu.

Du Wenxiu quietly pointed outside: "If you drive people away like this, who will be the shopkeeper between the two of us?"

Yue Niang laughed: "Even if we don't ask him to leave and keep him here, will he listen to our orders?"

"Then, if our women were to go out in public and become the shopkeeper, wouldn't it cause some weird gossip?" Du Wenxiu said worriedly.

Yue Niang smiled and said, "I do have a good candidate. I was originally hesitant about what position to give him. Now that he is the owner of a big restaurant like Zang Yaxuan, I am not afraid that he will not be tempted."

Du Wenxiu hurriedly asked who it was, but Yue Niang just smiled and said nothing, keeping the secret.

Seeing that she knew what was going on, Du Wenxiu did not ask any more questions. The two of them discussed for a long time and replanned the layout of Zang Yaxuan.

When Guan Baolai and his sister arrived, the two were having a heated discussion. When they heard the servant report, they looked at each other and asked someone to let them in.

Guan Baolai was as honest as when they first met. He didn't dare to look up at the two of them, which made Guan Shaorong so anxious that she kept pulling at the corner of his clothes.

"Brother Guan, are you looking for something to do?" Du Wenxiu asked in a gentle voice.

She had a very good impression of the mother and son of the Guan family who sold their house. However, no matter how good the impression was, she could not gamble with her family business that was the basis of her livelihood.

Guan Baolai listened to the question and raised his head slightly and said, "Yes, I wonder if the two ladies' businesses are short of people. I want to find a job."

"I heard that Brother Guan was cheated when he was selling goods before. I wonder if Brother Guan thinks there is anything you can do?"

Du Wenxiu's voice was still gentle, but his words were so sharp that Guan Baolai's face turned red immediately and he stammered, unable to speak.

For a moment, he felt that his job search might fail again. In his anxiety, he did not care about anything else. He looked up at Du Wenxiu and the others and said:

"I know I have no talent, I'm not smart enough, and I always get fooled."

"It's just that it's not right for a man to stay at home and rely on his wife and sister for support. That's why I came to you two ladies to ask for a job."

"If not, that's fine. I'll think of another way."

He spoke fluently, causing Yue Niang to stare at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, I do have a job here, but it's very hard work in the wind and sun, and I'm afraid Brother Guan won't be happy about it."

"If there is work to do and I can support my family, even if it means delivering goods to other places, I am willing to do it. I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

When Guan Baolai heard that there was a job he could do, he was overjoyed and quickly expressed his intention to try to get one or two.

Du Wenxiu looked at Yue Niang in confusion, remembering what they had just said. Could it be... that she wanted Guan Bao to come and be the manager of this restaurant?

Tsk tsk, even if an honest man like Guan Baolai came to be a waiter, she would hesitate for a while, let alone hand over such a big business to him.

However, looking at Guan Shaorong standing beside him, some things were difficult to say to his face.

She was feeling worried, but she saw Yue Niang smiling happily, as if she had found a treasure.
