Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 123

Zhong's mother praised Xiaoman, "Your Xiaoman has a quiet personality, and this kind of personality is the best for him to calm down and study!"

Chen Dongzhi thought of his younger brother who had been learning calligraphy with Shuisheng some time ago, and that going to the private school after the New Year would allow the two of them to keep each other company.

After dinner, Chen Dongzhi took Xiaoxue back.

Zhong's mother also said, "Your rabbits are selling so quickly. You can come to town more often to sell them in the future. If you raise more rabbits, you can earn money!"

Of the two cages of rabbits I brought, I took one to the market to sell, and took the other to the restaurant where I bought the deer from.

Zhong Ruyi followed the two of them out. Xiaoxue still walked in front, and the two of them followed.

It was only then that Zhong Ruyi realized that they were so far apart that it would take a long time for them to see each other, and there were no mobile phones here to make phone calls or video calls.

She was a little worried, thinking about what Chen Dongzhi had told her before, that working in the yamen would earn her one tael of silver a month, and that they would see each other every day, but everything in the town cost money, even water had to be fetched.

But if he stayed in the village he could still hunt and farm. The last deer he shot was sold for forty taels. However, this meant that the two of them had fewer opportunities to meet.

One is a civil servant who earns a few thousand yuan a month, and the other is a freelancer who can earn millions a month. There are pros and cons, good and bad sides to this.

When they reached the fence, Chen Dongzhi asked her to go back, "I forgot to tell you, Zhou Yuru is missing."

Zhou Yuru is missing?

What does it mean?

She looked confused. Was this what she understood?

Before she could ask, Chen Dongzhi had already solved the problem.

"Aunt Zhao's daughter-in-law came back and said that Zhou Yushou was beaten by us that day. Zhou's mother gave Zhou Yuru money to go to the town to get medicine. But Zhou Yuru took the money and left. He hasn't come back yet."

?

Is Zhou Yuru so awesome?

"Zhou Yushou's parents fainted at the time, and Zhou Yushou found them when he woke up. Now his father is paralyzed, and his mother is in poor mental health. Zhou Yushou also has a younger brother who used to study at the academy in the next county, but he doesn't go there anymore."

She thought of her third brother and wondered how he was doing.

Chen Dongzhi saw what she was thinking and said directly, "Your third brother has been looking for her for a while, fearing that something happened to her, but he still hasn't found her."

Zhong Ruyi exclaimed, "Could she have encountered a wolf or other ferocious beast?"

She was a little worried. After all, Zhou Yuru was just a girl. How could she escape from these dangers if she really encountered them?

Chen Dongzhi shook his head. "The people who went to look for her have visited several nearby mountains, but they didn't see her. There were no pieces of clothing or bloodstains."

I can only hope that she just ran away and didn't encounter any danger.

Zhong Ruyi didn't know what to say and could only wish her safety.

The two chatted for a while. Xiaoxue was already waiting. Zhong Ruyi asked him to hurry over and not let Xiaoxue wait too long.

Watching the two people walking away, Zhong Ruyi walked back with mixed feelings.

There were still many people setting up stalls on the street. Zhong Ruyi also saw several stalls selling wintersweets. She went up and bought two bunches. She felt the whole street was filled with the fragrance of wintersweets.

She took the wintersweet and sniffed it, and felt her nostrils filled with the fragrance.

When she turned around to leave, she accidentally bumped into someone and she quickly apologized. The person she bumped into was a man.

I originally thought that everything would be fine after I apologized. After all, it was just a bump and she didn't mean to hit him with all her might.

Unexpectedly, the man rubbed his arm that was hit, stared at her and suddenly grinned, "Cousin, don't you remember me?"

cousin?

Zhong Ruyi pointed at herself. Was she calling herself cousin?

The man had a flattering smile on his face, and his originally handsome facial features became filthy because of his smile.

"Who are you? I don't know you!" Zhong Ruyi was sure that she had never seen this person in her original body's memory, so she left after saying this.

But she was stopped. She looked up at him angrily, "What do you want to do? I don't even know you!"

The man smiled with a greasy look on his face, his eyes fixed on Zhong Ruyi's every move, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Little cousin, I am your aunt's son, Cousin Mingcong! If you don't believe me, you can come with me to my house and take a look!"

As he said this, he reached out to grab her arm, but she dodged him.

Zhong Ruyi knew that her father had a younger sister who was married in town, but her parents had told her that if she met her in town one day she should ignore them because their family was not a good group of people.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Please move aside. I don't have any cousins. Don't try to be my relative!"

The vendor selling wintersweets nearby was a little boy of about thirteen or fourteen. He heard their conversation and looked at them curiously.

Seeing the man trying to pull the girl who had just bought winter plums from him, he quickly spoke out to stop her, "Sir, she said she didn't know you, why are you hitting her?"

Zhang Mingcong glared at him fiercely, "None of your business! Just do your business and sell your broken flowers! Be careful or I'll smash your stall!"

The little boy was startled, and seeing how ferocious he looked, he could only give Zhong Ruyi an apologetic look.

Zhong Ruyi didn't want to pay attention to him, so she just walked past him and moved forward.

How could Zhang Mingcong let her leave so easily? He followed her, chattering incessantly.

"Cousin, I remember my mother said your name was Ruyi, right? I will call you Ruyi from now on. This way we are so close. This is how siblings should be!"

She kept her mouth shut, walked forward without saying a word.

He talked a lot all the way, but Zhong Ruyi refused to listen and ignored him. Zhang Mingcong suddenly became angry.

I reached out to pull her clothes, what a shameless bitch! I spoke to her in a nice voice, but she dared not give me face like this!

Seeing that Zhang Mingcong was about to pull her, Zhong Ruyi quickly used the two bunches of wintersweets she had just bought to hit him in the face.

The petals of the wintersweet had all fallen off, and Zhong Ruyi was so distressed that she slapped him again.

Wang Defa! If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat?

Zhang Mingcong screamed in pain from being beaten, and soon several red marks appeared on his face, oozing blood.

Soon the red marks on his face began to swell up, and his whole face became so swollen that it was unbearable to look at.

"You bitch! How dare you hit me!"

Zhong Ruyi took advantage of the pain he felt from being beaten and quickly ran away, cursing as she ran, "I'm going to beat you up! Do we even need to pick a day?"

Zhang Mingcong was in so much pain, but seeing the meat he had just got was about to run away, he could not bear it and stumbled after it.

A girl appeared on the street, holding a branch in her hand and running very fast, followed by a man with a face swollen like a pig's head, chasing her.
