My sister became the empress, but I'm still growing vegetables and raising chickens

Today Si Muyan went to see Aunt Zhu. Aunt Zhu was upset and refused to see anyone. She didn't stay long because she had something to do. She had originally planned to go and see her after dinner.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Laosan came here by himself.

The second sister went out and welcomed Zhu Laosan in, and asked with concern: "Third brother, is the third sister-in-law okay?"

"She's...okay."

Zhu Laosan and his wife were different from Zhu Laoer and his wife. Zhu Laoer and his wife were hardworking and capable. Although they were also honest people in the village, they were good at dealing with people. Zhu Laosan and his wife were just as dull. They stood in front of me for a long time without saying a word, and they blushed and stuttered when they spoke to people.

It wasn't that they were stupid, it was just that they were timid and had little contact with people. They might have even been laughed at, and over time, they became even less willing to talk.

Now that Zhu Laosan had arrived, it was the same. When he saw the people from the Si family, he hesitated for a long time and only greeted Si Xingzhi.

The younger sister said, "Third brother, we're really sorry about what happened to your sister-in-law today. Don't worry, after all, it was our family that caused the accident. We will definitely make it up to you. It's just that we've been busy today and haven't been able to take care of it yet."

As for the compensation, Si Muyan didn't need to tell me. I had already thought it through. Today, I even went out to buy some supplements such as red dates, brown sugar, eggs, etc., and divided them into two parts. I planned to send one to the headman's house and the other to Zhu Laosan's house.

Seeing Zhu Laosan coming, the second sister immediately went in and took out the paper bag she had prepared and handed it to Zhu Laosan: "Third brother, let's go see Third Sister-in-law later. This is a little gift for her, please accept it."

"No, no, how could she take your things..." Zhu Laosan's face flushed, "She...she didn't go to work today, she didn't do any work, how could she take your things?"

I have to say, the villagers are really simple and honest. And it's probably because they are used to being oppressed by other places where they work. Those places will provide food for those who seek work at most. If you come, you will be paid. If you don't come, no matter if you are sick or injured, you will not be paid.

Some unscrupulous employers will turn the tables and say that you did something wrong and delayed your work even if something happened at the workplace.

So Zhu Laosan never thought about asking the Si family for anything. He felt really embarrassed when he saw the Si family taking the initiative to give him gifts.

Si Muyan placed the gift on the table and said, "Let's not talk about you for now. You came to us now, is it because your third sister-in-law can't go to work?"

"Hmm..." Zhu Laosan nodded embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I know what's going on. After all, health is more important. Sister-in-law was frightened today and needs to rest at home."

Si Muyan also understood that Aunt Zhu was so timid that after this incident, she would probably not continue working. Therefore, the person who helped out at the porridge shop this morning needed to be replaced. As for who to replace her with, she still needed to think about it.

Zhu Laosan stood there, his face flushed red, and after a long time he finally said, "Yan...girl, actually I came here to ask...can I do that job?"

"Ah?" Si Muyan didn't react for a moment and looked over in confusion.

Being stared at by several people, Zhu Laosan felt even more embarrassed, but he mustered up his courage, tried to look up at Si Muyan, took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"I can get up early and take over from my wife. If there's no porridge cart, I can go there myself. You used to push the cart to the county town, but I can do that too."

"No." It was the second sister who spoke first. She said firmly, "Third brother, how can this be? You are playing with your life. It's a blessing that no one is hurt today, otherwise our Si family would feel guilty for the rest of our lives."

Zhu Laosan was anxious: "No, Tong girl, it's really okay, I'm a man, nothing will happen to me. And I can also bring a machete, I have strength, I am not afraid of bad guys!"

The second sister wanted to say something, but was pulled by the youngest sister. It was obvious that the youngest sister was moved.

They are short of people now. If Aunt Zhu doesn't go, it will be troublesome to find another suitable person. Moreover, after what happened this time, other people in the village are probably scared and may not dare to go.

Their focus is on lunch. It's okay to devote some energy to the porridge shop for a short period of time, but it won't work for a long time.

If Zhu Laosan is willing to do it, why not?

Zhu Laosan continued, "I'm really fine, Yan girl. I can sign my seal. If anything happens on the way, it has nothing to do with your Si family. Is that okay?"

Si Muyan didn't refuse outright, but said, "Third brother, the main thing is that something happened now, and we haven't figured out what to do next. But don't worry, when we think it through, even if Third Sister-in-law doesn't want to continue working, we will hire you first."

After hearing this, Zhu Laosan left with peace of mind. He refused to accept the gift from the Si family and ran away faster than a rabbit.

The second sister said unhappily, "Sister, this won't do. We're out so early in the morning. What if we run into bad guys again? If someone dies, what will we do next?"

My younger sister said, "The man has been caught, and the nearby villages will increase patrols, so there won't be any more trouble."

The second sister shook her head: "I'm just afraid that everyone will think the same as you, but bad people can get in anywhere, so we can't be careless."

The younger sister asked, "Sis, what will happen to our business in the future? Should we continue to run the porridge shop? Brother Zhu and his wife can't handle it alone, so at least one person must help."

"Okay, stop arguing and let me think of a solution slowly." Si Muyan said, "We will go to the village head's house first, and then go to Brother Zhu's house to take a look."

My younger sister said anxiously, "Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about tomorrow. What are our plans for tomorrow?"

Si Muyan pondered for a moment and said, "Carpenter He came by today and said he could help if we needed a car these days. His son is fourteen years old and is also very capable. Tomorrow morning, my second sister will get up and cook porridge. Dad, you take my younger sister and Carpenter He's car with you. My younger sister will have a hard time these days and will be busy in the morning and at noon. As for the rest, I will arrange it when I get there at noon."

"it is good."

The next day, Si Muyan went to the county town and first told Zhu Laoer and his wife, "For the time being, the supply of Aunt Luo will be handed over to you two. I will go to the county town to find a car to help deliver it. This is the temporary arrangement."

Zhu Laoer nodded quickly: "Okay, no problem."

They had heard about what happened yesterday, and how their sister-in-law had nearly gotten into trouble. They were all worried, and they felt that any share they could make would be the best. Even with the morning's business, it was indeed a bit too much for the two of them to handle.

Zhu Laoer suggested: "Why not let Dachun come over and wash the dishes?"

Dachun is seven years old, and although he's not very good at other things, he's quite capable of washing dishes. If the two of them have some free time, they can help with the dishes, and they should be able to handle it.
