Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

I originally thought that Wei would send the child back, and then I could come back to work.

Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law fell out with her in-laws and divorced.

Zhong Ruyi was sitting in the backyard. She stopped washing vegetables and listened to Sun Tao's words in a daze.

"...Her mother-in-law is such a bad person. She gave birth to the daughter, so why doesn't she feel sorry for her at all? She was beaten up like that? Why doesn't she just agree to take her back?"

Sun Tao continued to ramble on, "If Xiao Wei and her husband hadn't fought so hard to get her sister-in-law back, she might have been beaten to death by her husband's family one day."

"..." It was simply astonishing. Zhong Ruyi had thought that even if it was just a girl, the awkwardness between her sister-in-law Wei's in-laws would be over after a while.

Who knew that my sister-in-law's in-laws were so inhumane. Not only did they not come to help take care of her during the confinement period, but they also took the baby back home half a month after she was born.

He actually forced intercourse on Wei's sister-in-law, causing her to bleed profusely.

Not only did he not let her see a doctor or take medicine, but he actually hit her?

Simply not human!

If her sister-in-law had not been unable to bear it anymore and secretly came to find Wei to tell her about this, they would not have known how severely their sister-in-law was beaten after being taken back.

"She told me yesterday that she would be able to start work in a few days?" Zhong Ruyi said. It seemed that the matter was resolved, but there was no happy ending.

Sun Tao put the meat into a wooden basin, took some bath beads to wash the smell off her hands and said, "Her in-laws asked Xiao Wei and his family to return the betrothal gifts and not to take the child with them - how could such a good thing happen in the world? A pure and innocent grown girl married into your family, and you beat her after she gave birth to a child! Now that they are getting divorced, the betrothal gifts have to be returned, but you can't even take the child with you? Did she sleep with her son for nothing?"

She spat heavily, and Zhong Ruyi coughed lightly, indicating her not to make such unhygienic movements when preparing food.

Sun Tao smiled awkwardly and continued, "Xiao Wei and her husband came to the house and smashed everything. The girl took the child away and refused to return it. Anyway, her family only wanted boys. They just wanted to raise the child for a few years and then sell him to someone else as a child bride, right?"

At this time, I have to be thankful that my sister-in-law’s in-laws disliked the fact that she gave birth to a daughter and never took the child back, otherwise they would have to snatch the child away.

As they were talking, Chen Dongzhi came in from outside. "Twice-cooked pork, Kung Pao chicken, cold rabbit, garlic pork, and mapo tofu."

"Someone comes to eat so soon?" Zhong Ruyi was a little puzzled.

Chen Dongzhi thought about the clothes of those people and said, "They should be from the dock in front. They look like people on a boat."

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Zhong Ruyi always felt that these guests looked familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen them.

It was the customers who recognized her first and said in surprise, "The boss who sells boxed lunches!"

box lunch?

Zhong Ruyi suddenly remembered that last year she brought Zhang Mingzhu with her and they set up a stall at the dock for a while, selling boxed lunches.

These people were the customers of her stall at that time.

The smile on her face immediately became sincere. "It's me, it's me. Has your ship docked?"

Ah Hai nodded vigorously, "Boss of the lunch box, you have no idea! The chili sauce you sold to us was eaten up by us in less than two months! I endured for several months before coming here, but I didn't see you, so I thought you were not going."

Zhong Ruyi went to the dock to set up a stall selling boxed lunches because it was not very busy during that time. Thinking that there were many people at the dock, she thought of going there and set up the stall for a while. But when she wanted to go again later, she no longer had the time.

"That's a coincidence. I own this shop too. It's the same if you eat here!"

After chatting with a few people for a while, she went back to the backyard and continued listening to Sun Tao talk.

When Chen Dongzhi saw her come in, he put down the knife in his hand and went out to receive the guests.

Soon, the leave that Zhong Ruyi gave to Wei expired.

Wei came to work on time. Although he still looked haggard, he was obviously much better than when he said he wanted to resign.

It seemed that this incident made her see through her mother-in-law. She was angry and said, "It's okay for outsiders to look down on my sister-in-law. She doesn't rely on outsiders to make a living. But tell me, if her own mother looks down on her like this, what will outsiders think? Oh, how can you not do the work you have to do in your own home when you come to my house? Are you so delicate?"

Zhong Ruyi and the other person remained silent. After she had vented all her emotions during this period, they asked, "So how is your sister-in-law now?"

Wei was silent for a while before saying, "The most important thing now is to take care of your health first, and we can think about the future later."

What she didn't say was that ever since that forced intercourse, her sister-in-law's lower body has been bleeding non-stop. The doctor she saw didn't help, and now she can only lie in bed and rest every day.

Thinking of her mother-in-law's attitude towards her sister-in-law, she, as a daughter-in-law, felt heartbroken, not to mention that her sister-in-law was her own daughter.

At that time, her husband asked her for the 18 taels of betrothal gift for her sister. He wanted to return the betrothal gift and take her sister and the child back.

But what did her mother-in-law say?

"How can you get a divorce after getting married? Isn't that how life is? If she was more sensible, would people beat her? I think she was spoiled into bad habits!"

Seeing that he had no way of taking out the money and his sister was in danger, her husband could only speak to her in a grunting manner.

Of course, she didn't pay the money. Instead, she brought her husband, father-in-law, and two brothers from her mother's side to the house, smashed things, and then took the girl back.

Zhong Ruyi agreed with this. The most urgent task for Wei's sister-in-law now is to take care of her health first, and worry about other things later. Anyway, there are still family members around.

She originally thought that since Wei had come to work, she could also go back to the village to visit, but the people from the Fang family who went to the capital had not returned yet, but the letter arrived first.

Fang Erlang came with a message from his father, "Boss Zhong, my father asked you to prepare another 5,000 kilograms of apples, and the watermelons as well. The more the better. In two days, our Fang family will send someone to pick up the goods."

Zhong Ruyi was a little confused, "...So many?"

The problem is that the apples in her orchard have almost been picked, so if she wants them, she will have to wait until the harvest in late September.

Just when she was about to blurt out that there were no apples, a light bulb suddenly lit up in her head.

The orchard was indeed gone, but it was still there in her space. When she picked the few apples on the branches at night, she would also mix the apples in the space in.

Thinking of this, she nodded and agreed.

The Fang family had no idea how many fruits were left in her orchard. They had only been to the orchard on the mountain once, and later on, they waited at the foot of the mountain to pick up the goods. Fortunately, they had the cheating tool of space, otherwise they would have missed this business.

She asked Fang Erlang excitedly, "Second Master, are canned apples and watermelons selling particularly well in the capital?"

Fang Erlang had not seen the letter, as his father had told him the words. He only knew that his cousin, who was an official in the capital, wrote in the letter that if Yunzhou exclusively supplied melons and apples in the future, they in Dazhao would have another reason to negotiate with foreign countries.

As a vassal state of Dazhao, foreign countries paid tribute to it every year in the form of cattle, sheep, horses, various rare treasures, and fresh fruits.

Dazhao also tried to grow it himself, but he never succeeded.

And now, suddenly some people in Yunzhou have grown watermelons and apples that are not found in other countries. They are sweeter, juicier, and more delicious than those sent from other countries.

Then the things you send every year are a bit redundant. We have better things than you. Can we exchange them for something else?

Your cattle, sheep and horses are very good. Why don’t you exchange them for these?
