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

Si Muyan did not agree and told them not to worry about it, while she went to the county town to inquire about the situation of renting a house.

Sijia Food Shop's location was good, but the rent wasn't cheap. A two-bedroom apartment generally cost one or two taels of silver, and it took a quarter of an hour to walk there. Apartments farther away were much cheaper, costing eight hundred wen a month, and were much more spacious, and only took a quarter of an hour to walk there.

The houses are all good houses, the question is who will move in?

Zhu Laoer and his wife are experienced in their work. Si Muyan also knows Zhu Laosan's situation and thinks it would be more appropriate to ask him to come and do the work.

But with four children from both families to look after, should Aunt Zhu stay in the village alone to raise them? Or should she move here with the children? It wouldn't be appropriate to live in the county town, where she's unfamiliar with the area and doesn't even have anyone to help her.

Si Muyan was immersed in her own thoughts and before she could come to her senses, a group of young boys rushed towards her from behind. One of them lost control and bumped into Si Muyan's lower back.

"Ouch."

Si Muyan was caught off guard and fell forward, about to hit the pillar in front of him.

A big hand reached out from the side, grabbed Si Muyan's arm and stabilized her.

"Thank you." Si Muyan was still in shock. After she regained her composure, she turned around and saw that it was someone she knew. "You are... Fourth Master Xu."

Fourth Master Xu then took a closer look and immediately recognized him: "I remember you. I saw you once in my mother's yard."

Si Muyan nodded: "Yes, what a coincidence, thanks to you just now."

She struggled, trying to break free from Mr. Xu's hand, but Mr. Xu's hand was very strong and he held her arm tightly.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Fourth Master Xu quickly let go of her hand and said embarrassedly, "I wasn't paying attention for a moment, I hope the young lady can forgive me..."

"It's okay." Si Muyan said with a smile, "I have to thank you, and also thank your mother. She let me use the shop in a very good location. Our Si family restaurant is doing very well."

"Sijia Food Store?" Fourth Master Xu repeated it twice, his eyes lighting up. "You mean the Sijia Food Store that makes lunch, spicy hot pot and spicy hot pot? Is that made by your family?"

"Exactly."

Fourth Master Xu became interested: "I've heard that Si's restaurant is delicious. I've been there twice, but I didn't get a chance to eat there."

Si Muyan smiled and said, "The shop belongs to the Xu family. How can we let the owner go without food? Tomorrow, at the beginning of the afternoon, please invite Fourth Master Xu to the shop. I will definitely save a portion for you."

"Thank you so much."

Si Muyan asked again, "I wonder what Fourth Master's taste is like? Sweet or salty? Meat or vegetables?"

Fourth Master Xu asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Si Muyan smiled and said, "If it were someone else, it would naturally be a fixed amount. Our base and side dishes are suitable for most people. But if you are going to eat there, I will customize it for you."

Fourth Master Xu smiled and nodded, saying, "I like sweet food. I like both meat and vegetables, but I prefer vegetarian food."

"it is good."

Fourth Master Xu continued, "I don't know what to call you, young lady."

"My last name is Si, everyone calls me Miss Si."

"Hello, Miss Si."

After Si Muyan walked away, Fourth Master Xu was still standing there, staring at her back.

The servant beside Fourth Master Xu chuckled, "Fourth Master, that young lady is deliberately trying to please you, Fourth Master."

Fourth Master Xu glanced at him and said, "I've received a favor from my mother, so shouldn't I be a little polite to me?"

"Why do you think so, Fourth Master? I don't think so. It's obviously because our Fourth Master is a gentleman and a handsome man."

But this made Fourth Master Xu's face turn cold. He knew his mother's thoughts and that his family was very anxious about his marriage, but he was not happy about it and had never thought about getting married so soon.

He still has a family feud to avenge, so how could he be willing to live a carefree life?

That night he went back to see his mother. His mother held his hand and continued to ramble on and on: "Your eldest brother and his wife came back the other day, and your eldest sister-in-law's cousin came to visit. I think she's well-educated and well-mannered. You..."

"Mother knows Feng'er has no such intention."

Old Lady Xu sighed, "You're such a stubborn child. I know what you're thinking, but if your family's grievances can't be redressed, do you plan to never marry again?"

Fourth Master Xu lowered his eyes: "Not for now."

Old Lady Xu said, "If you continue like this, your biological parents in heaven won't be able to rest in peace. You, you simply won't listen to me, but don't you think about the fact that if that day doesn't come, your family won't even have a single bloodline left."

Seeing that he was unmoved, Old Lady Xu didn't want him to stay here and add to her sadness: "Forget it, I can't control you. You come today and leave tomorrow, alas!"

Fourth Master Xu thought for a moment and said, "Mother, since there's nothing else to do, why don't I write a letter to Third Brother and stay home for a few more days so I can spend some time with you."

Only then did Old Mrs. Xu feel a little happier.

When Mr. Xu Si returned to the courtyard at night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. The words said by his mother - actually his aunt - were obviously old sayings, but for some reason, he actually listened to them today.

If the injustice done to his parents cannot be cleared, will he be a lonely man for the rest of his life, without even a bloodline left behind?

But his parents died unjustly, so how could he have the mood...

Find a suitable person to marry, and it would be nice if we could have a boy or a girl.

The face of the girl he met today appeared in Mr. Xu Si's mind.

At noon the next day, Mr. Xu went to the Si family restaurant. Standing at the door, he saw the girls busy inside.

I don't know why, but when I saw Miss Si yesterday, she was clearly a very heroic woman, but today I had a different feeling about her. She seemed much more refined. The heroic spirit was gone, and instead there was a different kind of charm.

Every frown and smile is very touching.

Could it be that the attire has changed, and the feeling given has also changed?

But her clothes seemed different from the last time I saw her in my mother's yard yesterday. Why didn't I feel any change?

These thoughts only lasted for a moment, and Mr. Xu Si did not think too much about it. He smiled and prepared to go over to say hello.

But then he heard a man at the window shout, "This is the seat I liked, how did you take it?"

"I was here first, and my food is already served. Where's yours?"

"Get out of the way and go to that seat over there. This is mine. I sit here every day."

……

Seeing that a lawsuit was about to break out, the younger sister hurried over, smiling and saying, "Calm down, brothers! This isn't your fault. It's our shop's fault for not making arrangements in advance. It's our mistake."

"That's right..." The man occupying the seat was unhappy. He was about to vent his anger, but when he saw that it was a pretty girl, he didn't say anything unpleasant. He waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with the shop. It's just that everything should be based on first come first served, right?"
