Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

"Ming, Mingzhu? What's wrong with you? Why are you pushing so hard? You're about to break the door."

Zhong Mei was a little surprised. Her son had just come back and said that his eldest daughter had given him one or two taels of silver. She was happy that the relationship between the brother and sister was much better than before.

Unexpectedly, not long after he finished speaking, the eldest daughter came back, looking like she was looking for someone to settle the score with.

Following behind her was her second brother's daughter and son-in-law, who also had serious expressions on their faces.

Zhong Mei was a little panicked, not knowing why her eldest daughter and her group were so aggressive.

"Mingzhu, what's wrong with you? I just praised your brother for being sensible and caring, and even gave money to your brother to spend. But look at what you are like now? What other girl is like you? You roll up your sleeves to your elbows, don't even open the door properly, and just kick someone as soon as they come in. No one at home bothers you, right?"

Zhang Mingzhu took a deep breath. When she went to her uncle's house, her mother repeatedly told her to please her uncle.

Even when my mother came to see me, she didn't ask me how I was doing at my uncle's house, but wanted to ask me if I had received money from my uncle. Money was the only thing on her mind.

Even now, she didn't notice the huge slap mark on her face, and was only blaming herself.

"...Mom, you said my brother told you that I took the initiative to give you the money?"

Zhong Mei looked confused. This was exactly what Cong'er told her when he came back. Seeing her son so happy after going out, she asked him a question. Who knew that it was her own daughter who gave money to her brother to spend. Isn't this great? Brothers and sisters should help each other like this.

Seeing her mother nod, and Zhang Mingcong hiding behind and not daring to speak, Zhang Mingzhu sneered:

"He stole the money from me! He beat me up when I refused to give it to him! Just look at my face and you'll know what's going on!"

"What?" Zhong Mei was shocked. She looked at her son and saw that he had a guilty expression. How could she not know her son's character? The money was most likely stolen.

but.

So what if it was stolen?

This money belongs to Mingzhu. Cong'er and Mingzhu are siblings. It doesn't matter who the money is given to.

After being shocked, Zhong Mei looked at her daughter with a complaining look, "What are you talking about? There's nothing to fight about among family members. If your brother needs you, just give him first! Wouldn't it be better if you worked harder to earn the money back?"

"Ahem!" Zhong Ruyi cleared her throat. Seeing that Zhang Mingzhu was so shocked by her mother's shamelessness that she couldn't speak, she thought that you are still a little naive. You can't fight and scold like you usually do when facing your own mother.

Seeing Zhong Mei's eyes on her, she said with a fake smile, "The money your son took is mine, and the small stall at the door is also mine. Zhang Mingzhu is just working for me. She eats and lives in my house for free, and helps me with some work, but she can't even keep an eye on the money."

Zhang Mingzhu came back to her senses and immediately understood what he meant. "Yes, that money is not mine. My brother said he would rob me, and when he couldn't rob me, he overturned the stall. Do you know that those cakes also cost money?"

"How about this, return the silver you stole to me, and compensate me with two hundred coins for the cakes and pastries overturned by my brother." Anyway, there wasn't much left, and two hundred coins were enough.

Zhang Mingcong had been standing back with a guilty look on his face, not daring to come forward. Now he heard that he not only had to hand over the stolen silver but also had to pay an additional 200 coins? How could he accept this?

He immediately refused loudly, "No! I clearly heard that this stall belongs to Mingzhu. Since I can earn money as a sister, what's wrong with giving some to my brother?"

The more he spoke, the more confident he became. The guilty feeling he had just felt disappeared completely. "And...and even if this stall belongs to Cousin Ruyi, so what? It's not like I won't pay it back. When I have money, I'll double the money!"

Zhong Ruyi was too lazy to argue with this kind of person, so she directly said to Chen Dongzhi who was beside her, "Brother Dongzhi, go report to the police and say that someone was robbing people in the street and that the person has been caught. Please ask them to take the trouble to bring him back."

Zhang Mingcong got anxious when he heard this and pulled Zhong Mei's clothes, "Mom, what should we do?"

Seeing Chen Dongzhi turning around and preparing to leave, it seemed that he was going to do something serious.

He was anxious, and quickly took out a tael of silver from his pocket and threw it to Zhang Mingzhu, "Take it away, take it away!"

Zhang Mingzhu glared, "There are still two hundred coins!"

She and Cuicui worked so hard to beat the egg yolks and egg whites, but it was casually overturned and all fell to the ground. It was inedible. Without compensation, how could they justify the fruits of their labor?

Zhong Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Mingzhu, who are you from? How can you help outsiders like this?"

Zhang Mingzhu snorted coldly, "Have you ever looked at my face since I came in? I told you that Zhang Mingcong beat me up, but you didn't even ask me a question? Why are you asking me if I'm one of your own now that you want him to pay?"

She felt sad, and after she finished speaking, she didn't even look at her mother's reaction and just walked away.

Zhong Ruyi was also ready to follow, since the money was already returned.

Several people were preparing to go out.

At this time, Zhang Mingcong saw that everyone had their backs to him, and he became frightened. He picked up a wooden stick from the ground and swung it at Chen Dongzhi who was walking at the back.

Hearing the sound of wind coming from behind him, Chen Dongzhi's eyes narrowed. He was worried that if he dodged, the stick would fall on Ruyi, so he grabbed the stick with his hand. Although his arm was hit, he at least caught it and hit it back.

"what are you doing?"

Zhong Ruyi heard the noise and turned around to see this frightening scene. She quickly went forward to check if Chen Dongzhi's hand was seriously injured. "How is it?"

She was so worried that she gently held the man's arm, not daring to use force for fear of hurting him.

Chen Dongzhi shook his head to indicate that he was fine. He had used the force of the stick when it swung at him just now, so he was not seriously injured.

But Zhong Ruyi was still very angry. She picked up the stick on the ground and swung it at Zhang Mingcong, who had not yet reacted after being hit.

The blow landed on his left arm. The force she used was much stronger than the one she had used to hit Chen Dongzhi just now. She used all her strength to strike him, determined to make him suffer.

Zhang Mingcong was hit unexpectedly. He was feeling smug about hitting someone, but when he turned around, he was hit again. Now he was hit again.

He wailed in pain and fell to the ground. Zhong Mei immediately rushed over to him, "Cong'er, how are you?"

Seeing her son rolling around in pain, her eyes were almost spitting fire, "Zhong Ruyi! Why did you come to someone else's house to beat someone up? Is there still law?"

"Mom! It hurts so much!"

Zhang Mingcong cried in pain. Is it so painful to be hit by a wooden stick?

Zhong Ruyi sneered, she was almost laughing out loud at the shamelessness of this mother and son.

It was obviously Zhang Mingcong who attacked Chen Dongzhi first, and she was just fighting back.

When this mother and son started to complain, they became the first to do so.

She crossed her arms and looked at the two people on the ground, "Let's forget about today. If anything happens to my husband's hand, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

When Chen Dongzhi heard the word "husband", her ears instantly turned red and her eyes unconsciously showed a bit of shyness.

After beating the man and swearing at him, she pulled the man, who was still in a daze, out of the Zhang family's gate.

Along the way, the man didn't say a word. Zhong Ruyi was a little worried. She was about to go back to the yard directly, but turned and went to the pharmacy.
