"I'm not Tie Dan, what do you want to do with Tie Dan?" Zhu Yan stopped on his way back to the house, turned around and looked at the strange woman in front of him with a shy smile on her face.

The strange woman was dressed in a blue floral dress, of medium build, with red lips, white teeth, and big eyes. Now she was looking at Zhu Yan in surprise, "Aren't you an iron egg? Then let me guess, the old lady of the Zhu family has two grandchildren, you are not an iron egg , then you should be Zhu Yan, right!"

Zhu Yan was not in the mood to waste time with the woman in front of him, he looked around impatiently and said, "That's right, so why are you looking for Tie Dan?"

"It's okay, I just came to the town for a walk, I happened to pass by here, and saw the plaque of your house, and then I remembered that my father mentioned to me about the old Zhu's house in Jinsha Village, my father said that Brother Tie Dan is capable, so I said I mistook you for Brother Tie Dan." The strange woman stretched her fingers around the broken hair on her temples, looked at Zhu Yan shyly, and then explained: "Actually, I almost got married with Brother Tie Dan last time. The daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Mei'e."

"Oh, who am I? You are the daughter of the Zhou family who entrusted my old sister, Mrs. Cheng, to help us marry Tiedan." The old lady Zhu came out with the whole family at the right time, and she helped Zhu Yan take it over. Huatou, "What's the matter, why did you come to my house today? As far as I know, this girl who hasn't left the court shouldn't come to someone so easily, right?"

"Hey, don't get me wrong. I heard that Brother Tie Dan got married a long time ago, and I thought it would be good to be an acquaintance if you can't be a husband and wife." Zhou Mei'e blushed, with the shyness of a young daughter, " Besides, I see that your family is currently recruiting workers, so it's just right for me to come to help, I used to serve Miss Qianjin in a rich family's house, and I can do general rough and heavy work."

This is all said, and the old lady Zhu and the rest of the old Zhu family also heard clearly. The old lady looked up at Zhou Mei'e for a long time. After a moment of silence, she said to Zhou Mei'e: " My family is recruiting workers, but not female workers, as you can see, the two grandsons of my family have husbands, and there is an extra woman of the same age in this family out of thin air, and no one feels comfortable."

The old lady Zhu's two words successfully made Zhou Mei'e speechless. She blushed and nodded towards the old lady Zhu, and then she pretended to be hearty and said with a smile: "So that's what happened, that's it! I Then go to other places to look for work. Anyway, this town is big enough to work anywhere, but my father told me yesterday that my cousin Yuan Xiao is your husband. Relatives, isn’t helping with work much better than those strangers?”

Following Zhou Mei'e's words, all the eyes of the old Zhu's family were on Yuan Xiao. Zhu Yan noticed Yuan Xiao's unnaturalness and faint anger. He took Yuan Xiao's hand and walked forward, facing Zhou Mei'e He said in a cold voice, "My mother told me before that my family Yuan Xiao is our family's adoptive husband. When he came to my house, he had already broken the relationship with the family, so it doesn't matter whether he is a cousin or not." Whether it’s cousin, we won’t recognize him.”

"My family's Ah Yan is right. Since I came to Lao Zhu's house when I was eight years old, I have nothing to do with Yuan's family." Yuan Xiao walked up to Zhou Mei'e with a blank face, and said word by word: "Please don't talk to me in the future." Let’s talk about our relationship. Apart from my surname Yuan, I have nothing to do with the old Yuan’s family. In addition, please go back and tell everyone in the old Yuan’s family not to disturb my life, otherwise I will let you You are too late to regret it."

The old lady Zhu and everyone in the old Zhu family knew about Yuan Xiao's past, so they became even more unfriendly to Zhou Mei'e in front of her, especially the old lady who saw everything in her eyes. She glanced at Zhou Mei'e, and then shouted at Zhu Tiedan: "Zhu Tiedan, come out to me, and let the big girl of Huanghua take a look at you, so as not to scare our family with the excuse of seeing you in the future."

Zhu Tiedan, who was silent at the side, was stunned for a moment when he heard the old lady Zhu's shout, and then walked out of the crowd under the push of his husband, and stood in front of Zhou Mei'e in a daze, saying nothing. too lazy to say.

Zhu Tiedan's silence does not mean that the old lady Zhu is silent. The old lady looked at her grandson and shouted: "Turn around!"

Although he has lived with his grandmother for a long time, Zhu Tiedan was still a little confused when faced with his grandmother's sudden command. He turned his head and looked at the old lady Zhu in a daze. circle, and then obediently returned to her husband's side.

The old lady Zhu stared at Zhou Mei'e's disappointed face, she couldn't help frowning, and continued: "My daughter of the Zhou family, you have also seen our family's iron egg, so you won't use it from now on."

"Grandma Zhu, I didn't mean that..."

The old lady Zhu was shocked by the cold wind outside, and immediately glanced at Yuan Xiao, seeing that Yuan Xiao was dressed fairly thickly, and then continued to say to Zhou Mei'e: "I don't care what you mean, I'll tell you clearly here You, long ago I regarded Yuan Xiao as a child of my old Zhu's family, and how the old Yuan's family treated him before, our old Zhu's family is also very clear, please go back and tell those beasts of the old Yuan's family , in the future, don't use any affection to get relatives with us, our family doesn't recognize it, and why do you have no idea about Yuan Xiao? Don't come here to beat me up!"

"We always wish that there are many men in our family. If you come looking for trouble, we will fight one, and if you come two, we will make a pair. We don't care whether it is a woman or not, and we will fight together." Zhu Yan took the initiative to wrap Yuan Xiao's trembling hands, and he Knowing that Yuan's family is Yuan Xiao's nightmare, he must destroy this nightmare with his own hands.

"If it were me, I wouldn't even come here. I'm so greedy for cheap with such a big face. When I bullied my family Yuan Xiao before, why didn't I think of my relatives? Now that my family Yuan Xiao is doing well, I'm shy." What do you think?" Bai Zhen helped out, she looked down on Zhou Mei'e in front of her very much, and at the same time was very glad that her iron egg married Sun Yuzhu, if this family married such a shameless Bad stuff, I can't tell what to make of this house.

After Bai Zhen finished speaking, other members of Lao Zhu's family also began to talk about Lao Yuan's house. In this way, the neighbors who came to watch the fun also understood the whole story of this matter, that is, Zhou Mei'e shamelessly came to Lao Zhu Zhou Mei'e and his family used to be sorry for the old Zhu's family. Anyone who puts such a thing on him will be angry. Many people support the old Zhu's approach, and many people point at Zhou Mei'e's nose scold.

Zhou Mei'e found that there were more and more people watching the excitement around, and coupled with the attitude of Yuan Xiao and everyone in Lao Zhu's family, no matter how big her face was, she couldn't bear it anymore. She hesitated for a long time, and finally felt ashamed. Blushing, squeezed out of the crowd.

"Aunt?" Zhou Mei'e had just walked out of the main street, and when she turned around, she saw Zhou Caifeng following behind her. When Zhou Caifeng walked in front of her, she lowered her head in shame and dared not speak any more.

Zhou Caifeng has been hiding in the dark from the very beginning, and she can see everything. She stretched out her hand to smack Zhou Mei'e's head, and said, "I said it a long time ago, don't act in a hurry, you have to go to other people's house in a hurry. The shop is working, now it’s all over, and we’ve cut off our escape route, and your uncle’s medical expenses will be completely gone.”

"I, I didn't expect that the people of Lao Zhu's family are so fierce." Zhou Mei'e cried aggrievedly, "Every one of their family is like a fierce spirit, it's scary to look at."

Zhou Caifeng also had the same idea as Zhou Mei'e. She had never taken the initiative to find out what kind of family Lao Zhu's family was before. It was when she and other village women were laughing at Yuan Laoliu that day that she discovered that her son Yuan Xiao, If it wasn't for someone calling Yuan Xiao's name, she wouldn't dare to go up to recognize him. Yuan Xiao has not only grown taller and fatter, but also enjoyed a better life than before. It is the best life of their family.

"Aunt, what else should we do?"

"What are you doing? Go home! Didn't you hear what the old Zhu family said just now? We're here at this time, isn't it just to get a beating?"

After dinner in the evening, Zhu Yan was researching new bean products in the room. Recently, more and more restaurants have come to order bean curd sticks from them. If he takes this opportunity to research a few more new products, then the money will be made faster. .

While Zhu Yan was thinking deeply, Yuan Xiao, who had just washed up, quietly walked behind Zhu Yan, wrapped around Zhu Yan's neck from behind, rubbed his cheek against Zhu Yan's side face, and said in a muffled voice: "Ah Yan, Thank you."

"Huh?" Facing such a sentence that his husband suddenly said, Zhu Yan was a little dazed, he stopped thinking about other things, he turned his face and kissed the corner of Yuan Xiao's mouth, his deep eyes were full of Yuan Xiao. look like.

Yuan Xiao seemed to have not kissed enough, and kissed Zhu Yan back with her mouth pouting, then put her chin on Zhu Yan's shoulder, and said softly: "Thank you, Ah Yan, for giving me this family and giving me a lot Something I longed for as a child."

Only then did Zhu Yan understand the meaning of Yuan Xiao's words. He remembered what everyone said when the old Zhu's family cleaned up Zhou Mei'e during the day. Before, you were already a member of Lao Zhu’s family, grandma and everyone else are your relatives, you are not alone, you have me, and our whole family to rely on.”

"Yeah!" Yuan Xiao's eyelids were red, but he smiled happily. He knew that Zhu Yan gave all of this, and he would cherish it even more, and would work harder to run this family with everyone.

Zhu Yan knew that Yuan Xiao's mood had changed, he stretched out his hand to touch Yuan Xiao's waist, and reminded softly, "Don't always bend over, your waist will be uncomfortable."

"Well, Ah Yan, why don't you accompany me to the kang to talk for a while."

"Well, it's okay, it's getting late now." Zhu Yan temporarily put aside his previous thoughts, and went to the heated kang with Yuan Xiao. It's on to the job recruitment at home.

The main purpose of recruiting workers at home is to let the recruited people help with the work in front of the store, such as serving dishes and washing dishes to greet customers, and share the odd jobs, so that other people in Laozhu's family can focus on the drying room in the backyard, manpower balance After that, everyone can work easily.

But since Zhou Mei'e's incident, Zhu Yan has become more strict in recruiting. Early the next morning, he rejected several people until he met Lu Zhaofu who came to apply for the job.

"Zhaofu, why are you here?" Yuan Xiao and Lu Zhaofu had the best relationship on weekdays, but at this time, Yuan Xiao had no choice but to go out in person and ask Lu Zhaofu's intentions.

Lu Zhaofu didn't worry as much as everyone else, he just answered Yuan Xiao truthfully, "I told my mother, it's not fun for me to be at home all day, why don't I come out and help you with your work, I can help you run the hall and clean up the house like before , you can teach me other jobs, and I will go down when you recruit good people, of course I don’t need wages, you just need to provide me with three meals a day.”

These days, although Lu Zhaofu is a complete foodie, he still has a good way of doing the work. He is willing to work hard and is willing to ask for advice with an open mind. It is indeed a good choice to entrust the work to him.

Yuan Xiao turned around to ask Zhu Yan and the old lady Zhu for their opinions. Seeing this, the old lady Zhu thought twice and then said: "Then invite blessings, but invite blessings, grandma wants to explain clearly to you, your three Meals must be paid by our family, but other than that, money must be given to you, our family can’t let you do your work for nothing, don’t you know?”

After getting along for a long time, Lu Zhaofu already knew the old lady Zhu's temper, so naturally he stopped talking nonsense, nodded and agreed to the old lady Zhu, and started to wipe around with a small rag.

"I think Zhao Fulai is the most suitable for this job. You see, he is Lianhai's prospective husband, and he has a good relationship with our Yuan Xiao. Besides, this kid has a good personality. It's so rare." The old lady Zhu whispered to Bai Zhen in the kitchen.

Bai Zhen from the side even echoed, "That's natural. It's good to recruit blessings anywhere, and the family is well-off. Naturally, I won't do bad things for petty profits. Let's use it without worry. It's many times better than that of Zhou Mei'e." !"

Lu Zhaofu, who had just walked into the kitchen, couldn't help but stop when he heard a familiar name. He looked at the old lady Zhu and Bai Zhen suspiciously, and repeated, "Zhou Mei'e?"
