In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

As Zhang Jiayuan spoke, helplessness filled his tone.

Su Peizhi put some food on Zhang Jiayuan's plate and said with a smile, "I know, so I brought you here just to have a meal. I can't invite you out and let you go back with an empty stomach."

Only then did Zhang Jiayuan pick up his chopsticks with confidence and start to eat with relish. Su Zhizhi's cooking skills were excellent, and almost no one could resist the temptation of such delicious food.

Soon, Zhang Jiayuan had eaten his fill and leaned back in his chair, sighing contentedly, "Peizhi, your sister's cooking skills are truly amazing. I haven't had such delicious food in a long time. Don't worry, just for this table of food, I'll definitely help you!"

Zhang Jiayuan patted his chest and made the promise.

Su Peizhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Then he was overjoyed and his eyes became moist.

After sending Zhang Jiayuan away, Su Peizhi couldn't wait to find Su Zhizhi. At this time, Su Zhizhi was in her room, thinking about something. When she heard the knock on the door, she got up to check, but was hugged by Su Peizhi who was at the door.

Su Zhizhi was startled and was about to ask what happened when she heard Su Peizhi suppress the trembling in her voice and said excitedly: "Sister, I did it! I did it!"

Su Zhizhi thought about it for a moment and knew what Su Peizhi was talking about. When she spoke again, her tone was unconsciously filled with excitement.

"Are you serious? Master Zhang is really willing to help?" Su Zhizhi grabbed Su Peizhi's shoulders, her tone filled with an urgency that she herself hadn't noticed.

Su Peizhi nodded heavily, "It's true, sister, Zhang Jiayuan agreed personally, but he said that the decision has to be made by County Magistrate Zhang. He can only help us talk to County Magistrate Zhang, but it may not be successful." Having said that, Su Peizhi calmed down a little.

Su Zhizhi patted Su Peizhi on the head and comforted him, "It's okay, you did very well this time, better than my sister. You have tried your best, and I will take care of the rest."

As for Zhang Jiayuan, as soon as he returned to the county magistrate's residence from the restaurant, he couldn't wait to ask the servants where County Magistrate Zhang was.

Then he ran straight to the study. At this time, County Magistrate Zhang was handling official business in the study. He heard the servant report that Zhang Jiayuan had arrived and was now outside. He looked a little helpless, but still asked someone to bring Zhang Jiayuan in.

County Magistrate Zhang has many children, but his favorite is his son Zhang Jiayuan, so he is particularly tolerant of Zhang Jiayuan. If it were another child, County Magistrate Zhang might not meet him if he came to disturb him at this time.

Zhang Jiayuan entered the study, and the servants beside him wisely retreated.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiayuan approached Magistrate Zhang with a smile, "Father, what were you doing just now?"

"I was just dealing with some official business. I heard from the servant that you were out having fun. How come you're back at this hour? And you're sweating profusely from running around."

As he spoke, County Magistrate Zhang found a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Zhang Jiayuan's forehead.

Zhang Jiayuan didn't care much. He hugged County Magistrate Zhang's arm and said coquettishly, "I went out to play. I ran into trouble, so I wanted Dad to help me make a decision."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang's brows twitched. He rarely acted like this. His intuition told him that he could not agree to Zhang Jiayuan's request, but facing his son's request, County Magistrate Zhang still couldn't bear to refuse.

"Then tell me what happened that requires my intervention." County Magistrate Zhang said half-jokingly.

Zhang Jiayuan immediately told County Magistrate Zhang about the restaurant. County Magistrate Zhang's face changed instantly. How could County Magistrate Zhang not know about Su Zhizhi's restaurant? If an ordinary person intervened, it would be fine, but the person who wanted to destroy this restaurant was Mr. Liu. If it was not necessary, County Magistrate Zhang did not want to go against Mr. Liu. What's more, Mr. Liu had specially sent County Magistrate Zhang a lot of things in order to prevent him from interfering.

After Zhang Jiayuan finished speaking, he looked up when he saw that County Magistrate Zhang ignored him. Unexpectedly, he was met with his father's serious expression.

He immediately knew that County Magistrate Zhang did not want to interfere in this matter, but how could Zhang Jiayuan just let it go? Before County Magistrate Zhang could open his mouth to refuse, he immediately fell to the ground and started rolling around.

County Magistrate Zhang could not refuse Zhang Jiayuan in this state, so he had no choice but to agree first. Zhang Jiayuan then stood up with satisfaction, left a sentence "I knew that father is the best", and then patted his butt and left.

Magistrate Zhang was the only one left in the study. He gritted his teeth and said, "Su Zhizhi, you're truly capable. You even managed to convince Yuan'er to speak for you. I didn't expect you to be the most scheming one. I want to see just how capable you are!"

County Magistrate Zhang is now very dissatisfied with Su Zhizhi. Although he promised Zhang Jiayuan that he would not let the restaurant go bankrupt, that was just a delaying tactic. As for whether to intervene in this matter, County Magistrate Zhang has his own decision.

The next day, County Magistrate Zhang took a few close servants and went to Laiyue Tower quietly without making any announcement.

The restaurant was still closed because it hadn't yet solved its food supply problem. It was deserted and looked a bit desolate. Although the storefront had been newly renovated and looked brand new, passersby simply looked inside, sighed, and went about their business.

It was under such circumstances that County Magistrate Zhang brought his men to knock on the door of the restaurant.

At this time, Xie Chengjin was discussing something with Su Zhizhi in the lobby. Hearing the knock on the door, Xie Chengjin stood up and went to open the door.

He was just about to explain that the restaurant was not open yet when he met the gaze of County Magistrate Zhang. He froze there, then took a step to the side to make room for County Magistrate Zhang to move around.

Su Zhizhi was also curious about who was outside, so she came over to take a look. She and Xie Chengjin were both quite perceptive. Although they did not know County Magistrate Zhang, they could tell that he had an extraordinary aura and was definitely not an ordinary citizen, so they did not dare to neglect him.

Su Zhizhi came forward and asked, "I wonder why you, distinguished guest, are here today?"

When County Magistrate Zhang heard Su Zhizhi's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Could it be that you recognize me?"

Su Zhizhi shook her head honestly and said, "No, I haven't. I just saw that the distinguished guest has an extraordinary aura and is definitely not an ordinary person. Besides, when you come to my restaurant, as the saying goes, everyone is a guest, so naturally I should treat guests with a nice attitude."
