Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

I originally thought that my sister-in-law from my mother's side would hold back for a few days before coming over, but I didn't expect that after only two days, she couldn't hold back any longer.

Li's father and mother came over, but her sister-in-law did not come with them. She must have known that she wouldn't be able to say anything nice even if she came, so she simply asked her parents-in-law to come over and plead for mercy on her behalf.

"Ah? Looking for me?" Zhong Ruyi blinked innocently, "My sister-in-law's meaning is my meaning. I gave her a chance last time she made trouble. This time she refuses to change her ways, so I really can't keep her."

Li's parents looked at each other with some worry on their faces. They blamed their daughter-in-law for being ignorant, talking nonsense at work and quarreling with others, and thus losing a good job.

At the same time, they both blamed their daughter for being too heartless. Her sister-in-law said she didn't want it, so she just let the girl get paid and left.

After a while, Father Li managed to utter a few words, "...Can you give her another chance? Although Alai doesn't think before he speaks, he's still a very good person."

Zhong Ruyi looked at him seriously, "Uncle, you should know that I can also spend the same salary to hire someone who speaks nicely and works hard. Compared to someone who speaks harshly, of course people will be more popular with sweet-talkers, right?"

I originally thought that the old couple's shameless plea would allow their daughter-in-law to come back, but they ended up being humiliated.

Before leaving, Zhong Ruyi smiled and gave them a basket of apples, "Uncle and aunt, take some apples back to eat!"

On the way Li Guihua sent her parents out of Xinghua Village, Li's father was very dissatisfied and kept complaining about his daughter all the way.

"Didn't your sister-in-law just say something wrong? Do you have to make such a fuss to send her back? She's crying all day at home now, making a huge fuss!"

When Li Guihua heard this, she knew that her sister-in-law had not explained everything clearly to her parents. She did not hide it and told them what happened that day and what she had said before about Zhong Ruyi and his wife.

"...Whether she means well or not, people who hear it will only think that I have something against my sister-in-law! She is always like this, saying whatever she wants to say. Last year during the Chinese New Year, she said that she wanted to introduce her nephew to Cuicui. How old is Cuicui? She has come up with this idea? Now she is making up stories about my sister-in-law's family, but they are living a good life now! If one day my sister-in-law doesn't let me go to the workshop, it will be her fault! If that day comes, I will find her and fight her to the death!"

"What's more, she keeps saying that she's doing this for my own good, but isn't she just trying to bring her brother's wife in as well? She says nice things, but ever since she got married, she's always been trying to get close to her parents. If no one's watching over the rice and flour at home, she'll definitely move them back to her parents' home!"

Her words were so harsh that Mr. and Mrs. Li didn't dare to say anything for a long time. They also knew the character of their daughter-in-law.

Finally, Li Guihua revealed a little about her monthly salary. The old couple were shocked when they heard it, especially Li's father, who was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard the number.

Father Li said embarrassedly, "Then your sister-in-law really thinks highly of you. It is indeed your sister-in-law who is wrong. Let's go back and talk to her now. Don't be angry. After so many years, don't you know what kind of person your sister-in-law is?"

The two of them never mentioned asking Sun to come back to work in the workshop again. What if their daughter-in-law's bad mouth caused their daughter to lose such a good job? Where could they find such a good job?

"You should go back soon. Your parents are leaving first." Mother Li waved her hand and asked her daughter to go back.

She didn't want to come in the first place. The old man didn't know how much his daughter got paid, but she did. Her daughter had already told her about it during the New Year.

The old couple came with worries and left with smiles on their faces.

When Sun saw that the two men were in a good mood when they came back, she thought that her return to the workshop was a sure thing.

In the end, "Why?" She was dumbfounded and stammered, "Is it, is it that the Zhong family's sister-in-law disagrees?"

She thought that since her parents-in-law stepped in, Li Guihua would at least give in to her for the sake of her parents' face, but they came back to tell her that there was no hope?

Li's father ignored her and went straight back to the house. Li's mother smiled and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I think the watermelons they grow in the village are very good. Why don't you stay at home and grow watermelons?"

No matter how much she threw a tantrum, her parents-in-law were unwilling to help her find her sister-in-law to plead for mercy. Even her husband became impatient and accused her, "You shouldn't have that mouth! Find a needle to sew it shut!"

...

After this incident, Zhong Ruyi took the opportunity to hold another meeting for the people in the workshop. The general meaning was that if you want to continue working here, you should stop gossiping and confuse right and wrong, talk less and do more work.

Everyone nodded, fearing that they would become the second Sun.

Among them, Aunt Tian’s eldest daughter-in-law who filed the complaint was in fear all day long, fearing that she would be dragged out as well, but fortunately the matter was over.

Seeing that there was nothing important to do in the workshop recently, and the affairs of the orchard had been handed over to Ji Jiang and Zhong Dabao, she could also go out and relax.

It happened that Chen Dongzhi went to Nanzhou. She was bored living alone, so she packed some clothes and went to town.

The restaurant's business is getting better day by day. Sun Tao is a little thinner than when he first came, but he is in good spirits, and his movements of flipping the wok are becoming more and more skilled.

"Boss, you haven't been here for a month, and I miss you so much!" Wei said sweetly.

Zhong Ruyi rolled her eyes at her and asked, "Again, you want to take a leave?"

"Of course!" Wei's cheerful face suddenly fell. If you take a leave, you won't get paid!

She didn't want to take leave unless it was necessary, but her sister-in-law came back to recuperate after giving birth, so her mother-in-law asked her to take leave to help take care of her.

"It's a good thing that my sister-in-law gave birth to a child, but why didn't her mother-in-law and your mother-in-law take turns to take care of her during the confinement period? Why did you, as her sister-in-law, have to take leave to go back and take care of her?"

Wei sighed, "How could I know my mother-in-law? She said her back was not good and she couldn't follow! She was also afraid that the noise from the child at night would disturb my sister-in-law's sleep, so she insisted that I go and take care of her."

She was in a difficult situation too. If she hadn't met a good employer who would have allowed her to take leave and go back to take care of the family.

Although Zhong Ruyi didn't understand, she still asked her to take leave and go back. "Have you given birth yet?"

Wei nodded and said, "It was born the day before yesterday, it's a beautiful girl." But her sister-in-law's in-laws didn't like it. The reason she went home to recuperate this time was because her sister-in-law's mother-in-law asked someone to look at her belly and said it was a girl, and she was unhappy.

Before she even gave birth, people were already saying openly and secretly that the baby in her belly was a money-losing item. They married her because she had a big butt and spent 18 taels of gold on the bride price, but she ended up giving birth to a girl. It was simply a losing deal!

Her sister-in-law was crying all day long and wanted to go back to her parents' home, so in the end the task of confinement fell on her.

Zhong Ruyi was speechless after hearing this. After giving her the half basket of apples he brought, he said, "After serving your sister-in-law, send her back. If anything happens again, you'll have to clean up the mess."

Unexpectedly, her words came true. A month later, Wei came to her with a one-month-old baby in her arms and cried, saying that she could not come to work.
