Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

The wealthy businessman's surname was Yu. Mr. and Mrs. Yu comforted their daughter-in-law and told her to take good care of herself during the period of confinement, saying they would help her solve the Zhou family's problem.

Finally, Madam Yu took out the agreement signed when she bought Miss Zhou, which had the fingerprints of Zhou's father on it, and warned him that if he came to cause trouble again, she would break Zhou Yushou's legs and report him to the police.

Zhou's parents didn't care about their two sons, but they loved them, especially the eldest son. When they heard this, they were frightened and dared not come to visit again.

Zhou Yuru picked up the rags, put them away and then went out to cook.

Under the eaves, the younger brother Zhou Yuming was sitting on a rocking chair. When he saw her coming out, he taunted her, "Third sister, if this family waits for you to cook, the whole family will starve to death!"

Zhou Yuru lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything, because once she responded, it would never end.

Seeing her shrinking look, Zhou Yuming snorted coldly and continued to lie down in the rocking chair and read the storybook leisurely.

Both of Zhou's sons were sent to school, but unfortunately neither of them was good at studying, and Zhou Yushou became addicted to gambling.

The youngest son was obsessed with storybooks, imagining that he was like the scholar in the storybooks, meeting a rich lady when he went out and having an affair with her.

The young lady will help him to be promoted to an official position and when he becomes successful, he will have a beautiful wife and concubines and an inexhaustible amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

Zhou's parents saw their eldest son becoming addicted to gambling, but their younger son was able to read books, but he always asked for money to buy books. He was the only one who could understand the books they bought. Since they were illiterate, they naturally didn't know that these were not serious books but some romantic books.

The couple thought that their youngest son was a good student, so they gave him money when he asked for it and bought anything useful. To this day, they didn't know that what their youngest son held in his hands every day was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but romance novels.

Zhou Yuru washed the rice, cleaned it and put it on the stove to simmer. She pretended to glance at the yard casually. Zhou's father and mother were still sitting and talking. Zhou Yushou had just come over and made a fuss, and now no one knew where he had gone. Zhou Yuming was still in the rocking chair.

She was so angry that she had to cook, wash clothes and feed chickens and ducks every day. But she heard from Zhong Laosan that his sister didn't have to work at home.

Before, when my elder sister was at home, we could do it together. But now that my elder sister has married a rich old man and is enjoying a good life as a concubine, I am left alone to serve the whole family.

She wanted to ask her elder sister to take her in, but she was afraid that her elder sister would not recognize her. After all, her elder sister didn't even recognize her parents. She was such a cruel person who only cared about her own enjoyment and never thought about her parents.

Even if she hated her parents for indirectly killing her lover, she was her younger sister and she had not done anything to let her sister down. It was because of her help that she could have the good life she has today!

After she finished cooking, Zhou's father and mother moved their butts and went into the main room to eat. When they saw the dishes on the table, they couldn't help but frowned.

"Yuru, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you only cook these dishes every day, do you think you're feeding the chickens?"

"But I heard that Zhong Laosan's two brothers, one makes a living in the town, and the other one makes a living at home. The one in the town is a bit far away so we can't count on it, but this is right in the village, why can't Zhong Laosan bring some to our home to eat?"

Zhou's mother kept scolding, completely ignoring whether it would be detrimental to an unmarried girl's reputation if she always had close contact with men. She only cared that the food on the table was not to her liking.

Zhou Yuru secretly hated him, but she didn't show it on the surface. "Mom, the money you gave me is only enough to buy these. We grow these vegetables ourselves."

Father Zhou's face fell, and Mother Zhou's eyes glared at him, "You said yourself that these vegetables were grown by yourself, then I give you ten cents a day to buy meat for three meals a day, and you only buy this little to send us away, do you think we are beggars?"

"You idiot, I told you that you must have embezzled the ten cents! And you still dare to say that you didn't!"

God knows! This pork costs twelve coins per pound. Ten coins per pound is not enough to buy pork, let alone meat for three meals a day.

But Zhou's mother insisted that there must be a meat dish at every meal, and the less than one pound of pork had to be divided into three meals, and it was considered good if each person could eat one piece of meat.

"Let me ask you, did Zhong Lao San say when he would marry you?"

The eyes of several people at the table immediately fell on her. She felt nervous. Zhong Laosan had said that he wanted to marry her, but he said he had to go back and ask his family.

Until now, Zhong Laosan has not agreed with her when he would come to propose marriage, and the two have not seen each other for more than half a month. Before, Zhong Laosan always took the initiative to find her. Last time, she casually mentioned that she wanted to match her brother with Zhong Laosan's sister, and he scolded her.

Although Zhong Laosan apologized to her later, saying that he just couldn't bear to leave his younger sister at home and felt that she was still young and didn't want her to get married so early.

He thought she couldn't see it, but in fact he looked down on their Zhou family, and the man beside him named Chen Dongzhi also looked down on their Zhou family.

She said she was reluctant, but in fact she looked down on his brother for being a gambler. How could she look down on him? It was her family who forced her to find out.

Her family wanted her to marry Zhong Laosan, and Zhou Yushou married Zhong Laosan's sister just for the Zhong family's braised food shop.

They thought that they could master the Zhong family's braised pork recipe in this way, but in fact, people looked down on Zhou Yushou and didn't even take a piss to see what kind of person they were.

The Zhong family loves their daughter so much, how could they marry her to a family like this?

"...He, he said his family has agreed, and he wants to wait for his parents to find someone to come and propose on a good day."

Zhou Yuru felt that what she said was right. Since Zhong Laosan had said that he would marry her, he would definitely marry her. She was just saying something in advance that had not happened yet but would definitely happen.

Zhou's mother had a satisfied look on her face. Zhou Yushou, who was standing by, gave his mother a look, and Zhou's mother understood what he meant.

"Last time I asked you to ask Zhong Lao San about his sister and your brother's relationship. Did he agree?"

Zhou Yuru glanced at her brother. After Zhong Laosan talked about her, she told Zhou Yushou about it when she came back. She thought he had given up after being rejected, but she didn't expect that he was still thinking about her.

But she didn't dare to say it too directly, otherwise Zhou's mother might tear her to pieces.

"Aji said his sister was still young, and his family wanted to keep her for two more years, so they didn't plan to find her a husband."

Zhou's mother frowned, "I heard that his sister should be seventeen after the Chinese New Year. If she stays for another two years, won't she become an old maid?" What would happen to her son if she stays for another two years?

"Talk to Zhong Lao San. Your brother is not bad. He is more than qualified to be with his sister! Don't be so shameless!"

Zhou Yuru had no choice but to promise that she would talk to Zhou Laosan.

She glanced at Zhou Yushou's smug expression and felt sick to her heart.

But if he wants to get out of this fire pit, someone must replace him, and Zhong Ruyi, who is favored by Zhou Yushou, is the best candidate.
