Chapter 70 Growing Vegetables (1)

Early the next morning

The news that Mu Xiucai's family and Zhou's family had moved to the town spread like wildfire in the village. Beside the old well, some villagers excitedly described it to other villagers who were fetching water.

"I saw it really. There were two carriages with carriages. One was filled with Xiucai's family, the other was occupied by Zhou Laowu and his wife. Jiu Jin was driving his own ox cart behind them. All the people on the ox cart were It's the wild boar he picked up the day before yesterday..."

"Hey! I heard that the two families each received a reward of one hundred taels of silver the day before yesterday. They are so rich that they don't want to live in this shabby little village like ours..."

"What's so strange about this? The talented lady suffered so much from the big fang in the village. She finally got the money. If she doesn't run away quickly, is she still waiting to be snatched away by the big fang?"

Everyone gathered around the well, forgetting to fetch water, and started talking about it.

When Mu Zhongli heard the news, he was about to go out to find the clan leader, preparing to accuse Du of the town yesterday about a man going to fight with Zhang Tuzi. A woman's family attaches great importance to the name of the family, something like this happened. Son, no matter it is true or false, he will make her bow her head obediently and hand over the one hundred taels of silver honestly.Unexpectedly, before he could make any move, they moved away quietly without even saying hello. Now, even if the patriarch is willing to help him attack the Du family, he is beyond his reach!

"Ahem! It's a pity that one hundred taels of silver!" Mu Zhongli's heart trembled with pain.

The daughter picked up the bottle and comforted her, saying, "Dad, why are you so anxious? One hundred taels is not a small amount. Second aunt always spends money carefully and is reluctant to spend a few cents. When second uncle comes back, let's add it all up. That money still belongs to our family." !"

"Ping'er is right!"

Mu Bai raised his slack eyelids and glanced at his eldest son: "You are a forty-year-old man, you might as well be a little girl with scheming ideas. When the second brother comes back, he will see his wife and children talking so quietly. If she leaves, won't he become suspicious? When the time comes, we will naturally do whatever we say, and we are not afraid of her running to the sky!"

"Yes, that's what mother said!"

Although Mu Zhongli was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to suppress his greed and hope that his second son would come back soon...

Just after midnight, two ordinary two-wheeled carriages stopped at the entrance of the Eight Blessings Restaurant. The curtains were lifted, and a girl wearing a pink slanted jacket jumped out of the carriage. She turned around and picked up a three or four-year-old boy from the carriage. Little kid.

The little boy was wearing a brand-new blue cotton jacket and a pair of newly made tiger-head shoes. He leaned tightly in the girl's arms and looked nervously at the magnificent restaurant in front of him. His clear eyes were filled with excitement. Nervous again.

"Sister, is this the restaurant that our family has a stake in?" Caifei got out of the car and felt a little unbelievable when she looked at the spectacle in front of her.

"That's right!" Du Shi also got out of the car, pulled Wen'er with her, and smiled knowingly: "Let's go in and have a look..."

In the carriage behind, Zhou Laowu and his wife had already gotten off, following Du and his party, they came to the restaurant in a mighty manner.

At this time, it was not time to eat. Shopkeeper Cui was sitting at the counter, chatting with the cashier. When he saw Caiwei and his party coming in, he hurriedly stood up and greeted them.

Caiwei smiled and said, "Sorry to bother Shopkeeper Cui. I'll bring my family to recognize you. I'll move here today."

Shopkeeper Cui said politely: "Why disturb me? I was just trying to get the girl to meet the guys in the shop, but by chance, the girl came here." After saying this, he called all the people employed in the restaurant over. .

There are two waiters, a chef, a cashier and a dishwasher in Bafu Restaurant, a total of five people.
