The autumn colors deepen, the sky is cloudless, and in the early morning of Xigang Village, cocks crow and dogs bark, smoke rises, and a thick smell of fireworks.

The two brothers Ji Ru and Ji Yi drove a ox cart to Jiang's house early, picked up Jiang Muxia and rushed to the county.

"Mu Xia, your third brother has been prepared long ago. I believe you can take good care of him, so I will leave him to you." Zhou Huaihua held Jiang Qianhe, who looked reluctant, with one hand, and carried two bags, one big and one small, in the other hand.

Is this going to work or moving?

She put the big blue bag in her hand onto the ox cart, pushed her son onto the cart and stuffed the small bag in her hand into his arms.

Zhou Huaihua entrusted Jiang Muxia with a smile, clearly showing full confidence and leaving no room for her to regret.

Jiang Muxia didn't buy her tricks and replied calmly, "Auntie, I just wanted to introduce you yesterday. Whether to accept it or not is up to the shopkeeper. You brought so many bags, what if they don't accept it? How can Third Brother have the face to come back?"

Zhou Huaihua reminded her, "Just do as your grandfather said."

The meaning was very clear. If the other party didn't want to accept Jiang Qianhe, she should give up her position to him.

Lu Chaoyun couldn't bear to listen any longer. His face was gloomy and he was about to speak when he was stopped by Jiang Muxia's look.

"Okay. But I'll be frank with you. If they refuse to accept you, don't blame me for not doing my best."

Zhou Huaihua agreed immediately, her face full of confidence.

Jiang Qianhe sat on the ox cart and muttered quietly, "It's just right that you don't want me. I don't want to go."

Jiang Qianhe was very resistant to this matter at first, but Zhou Huaihua persuaded him in every way. The place where he worked was a tavern, the best tavern in Suanzao County, so he reluctantly agreed.

"Or, Auntie can come with us too. Otherwise, you will suspect me if things fail." Jiang Muxia knew their character very well. They were human one moment and ghosts the next.

If it succeeds, it means her son is capable; if it fails, it must be because she is not doing her best.

She didn't want to be blamed, so she decided to take her along.

Zhou Huaihua was happy to see this happen. "Okay, I'll go see where you work."

It was already mid-morning when we arrived at Xuji Tavern. The tavern had just opened for business and a waiter was cleaning. Sitting at the counter was the shopkeeper Xiao Chengzi whom I had seen yesterday, wiping the counter.

Jiang Muxia smiled and walked forward to greet him, "Hello, shopkeeper. I'm here to work."

When Xiao Chengzi saw her, his brows relaxed, "Miss Jiang is here, your residence is ready, I'll have someone bring someone over."

"Don't worry. I need to trouble you with something. My third brother also wants to find a job. I wonder if our tavern is still hiring?" After Jiang Muxia finished speaking, she gave him a look and shook her head slightly.

Xiao Chengzi understood, looked at Zhou Huaihua and Jiang Qianhe behind her, and said with a smile: "Our tavern is small and the profit is thin, so we can't afford to take care of more people."

Zhou Huaihua was not in a hurry after hearing this. She smiled and stepped forward, "Boss, this is what we have discussed at home. If our shop does not hire more people, Mu Xia will give up her position to her third brother. Since our shop does not hire more people, her third brother will also have a job. It's killing two birds with one stone. Do you think it's feasible?"

Xiao Chengzi was stunned. This family had a good plan, but he, as the shopkeeper, couldn't make the decision. How could they just discuss it at home and have the final say?

Xiao Chengzi refused bluntly, "I have no say in this matter. Miss Jiang was chosen by my family's head. Aunt, I can't help you."

Zhou Huaihua's eyes lit up. She was delighted by the title of Patriarch. Just hearing the name suggested that the girl had extraordinary abilities. When did this girl hook up with such a capable person?

"Muxia, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had hooked up with the head of the family? Invite the head of the family to come out and say a few good words for your third brother. Maybe he will agree to let your third brother stay." Zhou Huaihua had other thoughts in mind. In her opinion, a girl can only be noticed by people if they like her appearance. Jiang Muxia is good-looking. If she wins the heart of the head of the family, the whole family will benefit.

Before Jiang Muxia could say no, a loud and sharp voice sounded from afar, "Miss Jiang, I only agreed to give you a job because I thought you were reliable. What? Do you think this place is your own home and want to stuff everything in it?"

Xiao Chengzi smiled and said to Zhou Huaihua, "This is the head of my family."

Xu Da was wearing a gray-white robe, his face was as gloomy as water, and he stood on the stairs with his back straight and shoulders straight.

Zhou Huaihua did not dare to speak out in front of Xu Da, who was so imposing, and kept a low profile.

She smiled and said, "The master's words are too harsh. My son is hardworking and perceptive, and he is no worse than Mu Xia. He is also a man, so he must be more reliable than her. We will be a family from now on, so why don't you take him in?"

Jiang Muxia frowned. What nonsense was she talking about?

Xu Da's eyes were cold. He didn't even look at her. He glanced at Jiang Muxia coldly and his words were full of warnings, "Either you stay or we all go. Not all dirty things can stay here." After that, he went to the backyard without looking back.

Jiang Muxia smiled secretly in her heart, how refreshing! I really did not choose the wrong person.

She faced Zhou Huaihua and spread her hands, indicating that she was powerless.

Zhou Huaihua looked dissatisfied, "Mu Xia, why is he like this? He likes you, but instead of being nicer to our family, what's his attitude? Why don't you go and beg him to find a job for your third brother?"

"Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about. How do you know he likes me? Please don't make me lose my job." Jiang Muxia was speechless. What was going on in her mind?

"You have also seen that the head of this family is not easy to deal with. You should go back. He is engaged to the daughter of the county magistrate. If you offend him, he will probably take revenge on our family. Let Brother Ruji send you back." If he didn't scare her, he was afraid that she would go back and say something wrong, causing unnecessary trouble.

She ignored Zhou's mother and son, picked up her luggage, and followed Fuzi to the backyard with Li Jiyi.

"Wait." Zhou Huaihua looked at Li Jiyi holding a bag in his hand, feeling dissatisfied, and asked Jiang Muxia, "Didn't you say you would only recruit one person? Why did he stay too?"

Xiao Chengzi answered her question, "Aunt, he doesn't want any wages. If your little brother doesn't want any wages either, we will also allow him to stay."

Zhou Huaihua exclaimed, "He doesn't want to be paid. He must be crazy."

Xiao Chengzi lowered his head and worked, ignoring her.

Jiang Qianhe had long been impatient, "Mom, are you going to leave or not? I don't want to come to this shabby place."

"Yes, my son deserves the best. This kind of place is not worthy of my son. Let's go." He turned around and pulled Jiang Qianhe out of the tavern. Xiao Chengzi and Li Jiru looked at him with sarcasm.

Zhou Huaihua walked out of the tavern and forcefully spat out a mouthful of thick yellow phlegm, "Bah, who cares."

Li Jiru felt sick at the sight, so he whipped her and shouted, "Sit tight, let's go," before she even sat down.

The old cow suddenly jumped forward, and Zhou Huaihua fell hard on his butt. He cried out "ouch" and cursed Li Jiru, "You little bastard, you did it on purpose."
