Jiang Muxia sneered and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "I know my limits, you just need to mind your own business. I have to remind you not to let those people know that you are still holding on to them. Otherwise, as local tyrants, they will entangle with the county hooligans to cause trouble, and you will be in trouble, and County Magistrate Feng will not be able to protect you."
After staying at the ferry for about half a month, she noticed that there were too many mixed people at the ferry, and other shops often gave people free food and drinks and collected fees violently.
The only incident that happened to her shop was the trouble caused by Jiang Pi Zi. If Xu Da had not stood in front, the restaurant would have been lost long ago. Even if she was very strong, she could not fight against four tigers alone, and she had no way out.
So when Xu Da said he wanted to adopt her as his sister, she agreed without a second thought.
Being in the big melting pot of the ferry, she had to find a backer for herself.
"I know. Anyway, you are not allowed to interfere. You cannot get involved. Otherwise..." Tang Zhongbai's tone became heavier, and he looked at Tang Si, "I'll let Tang Si stay in the restaurant and watch you."
Tang Si saw that something was not right and was worried that the young master would get angry and take it out on him, so he quickly stood up, went back to the table, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Ah..." Jiang Muxia was speechless. "You're overthinking it. I just happened to meet them. I found out where they live. As a frequent customer of the restaurant, I just kindly reminded you. There's really nothing else."
"That's good. Only if you are safe and sound can I work outside with peace of mind..."
"Hush." Jiang Muxia covered her lips with her hands and stopped him in a low voice, "Tang Juecao, I hope you understand that we are just partners. We should be well and take care of our own business. Please don't interfere in my business. Can we respect each other?"
Tang Zhongbai looked at her directly, his eyes full of mixed emotions. He didn't speak for a long time, and finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Okay."
Jiang Muxia lowered her head and started fiddling with the abacus, no longer paying attention to him.
Tang Zhongbai stood there for a long time without saying a word.
He pulled over a bench, sat opposite Jiang Muxia, and accompanied her quietly.
In the far corner, Tang San and Tang Si had finished their meal. They looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to do next. They had to pack up their dishes, stand up and quickly walk towards the backyard.
Lu Chaoyun came to the hall with a broom to clean up, and immediately saw Tang Zhongbai sitting opposite her daughter. She frowned and looked displeased.
She coughed lightly and called out, "Girl, have you settled the bill? Ji Yi wants to discuss tomorrow's ingredients with you, go and take a look."
Jiang Muxia understood. She really didn't want to have too much to do with this man. Without even looking at Tang Zhongbai, she went to the backyard.
"Tang Juecao, it's getting late and my restaurant is closed. How about you come in early tomorrow?" Lu Chaoyun smiled and ordered him to leave.
These days, Lu Chaoyun has learned from his daughter how to entertain guests with less courtesy. Every guest who comes in should be treated with courtesy and greeted with a smile.
Tang Zhongbai nodded and responded, "I understand, auntie, I'll be leaving in a moment."
Lu Chaoyun smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of our business. My daughter is going to be engaged to Ji Yi before the New Year. We will hold their wedding in the spring of next year so that they can work here with peace of mind. I would like to ask you to continue to take care of it then. There are many people at the ferry, and with you here, no one dares to cause trouble in the restaurant."
She said these words deliberately, intending to stop Tang Zhongbai from having any ulterior motives towards her daughter.
Although he was a government official, she knew that her children could only live a happy and smooth life if they married someone of equal social status.
Tang Zhongbai's face changed, and he opened his mouth but said nothing.
That kid Li Jiyi hangs around her every day, and she calls him Brother Jiyi all the time, but her attitude towards him is indifferent.
He was unsure, could it be that the person she really liked was Li Jiyi?
"Auntie, I'm leaving." Tang Zhongbai stood up, put the bench back in its place, and strode out of the restaurant.
"Okay, take care." Lu Chaoyun smiled. Seeing him running away, she knew that what she said had worked.
Lu Chaoyun was cleaning happily when the door curtain was lifted and an uninvited guest came in.
She heard the noise, looked up at the door, and her face fell.
"Aunt Yuzhou, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look better and better. It seems that what everyone said is right. You really come to the county to enjoy yourself." The visitor looked around, clicked his tongue with envy, pulled over a bench, and sat down on it.
"An? What are you doing here?" Lu Chaoyun watched her every move coldly, feeling very unhappy.
Now she only hoped that Ruan Fenfang would not come out.
If these two people were taken pictures, Ruan Fenfang would be scolded by her again.
"Aunt, look at you, we are from the same village, can't I come to see you?" An smiled with wrinkles on her face, and took out a red wedding invitation from her bosom, "My son has found a girl from an official family. The event will be held in Penglai Lane in the south of the city on the first day of next month. The chef we invited is the biggest and best chef in the county, Laiju Wine House. You all have to go."
Lu Chaoyun was startled, then he sneered: "Oh, you found a wife so quickly, your eldest grandson is really capable."
She felt sorry for Ruan Fenfang and thought it was not worth it.
"Yes, yes." She didn't hear Lu Chaoyun's sarcasm towards her, and smiled: "Yes, my son is very capable. Auntie, you don't know that my daughter-in-law is very beautiful and has a skill to make money. Only a daughter like this is worthy of my son. In the past, it was that unlucky star that blocked my son's fortune. Look, as soon as I drove her away, he became rich."
"Sister Heping is here. Congratulations! You found such a capable daughter-in-law to serve you so quickly." Jiang Muxia came in from the backyard and said with a smile.
Following the voice, An's eyes fell on the woman who came in. She was a woman in a green shirt, with fair skin, a pair of flowing phoenix eyes, and a peach wood hairpin to tie up her black hair. In the afternoon sun, she was like a fairy walking out of a painting.
"Who is this...?" An was stunned. She had never seen such a beautiful girl.
Lu Chaoyun smiled and said, "This is my Mu Xia, my eldest daughter."
"That's not right." An obviously didn't believe it. "Isn't your eldest daughter Hong Ping? She doesn't look like this."
"Sister-in-law, I changed my name a long time ago." Jiang Muxia took the account book from the counter, "You guys chat, I'm going to go back and rest."
An's expression of shock lasted for a long time. "Aunt, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter. No wonder people in the village say that your daughter has been spotted by a big shot in the county and has become his mistress. I didn't believe it. I never thought it was true."
Lu Chaoyun threw the broom in his hand to the ground fiercely, "Who is the bastard who made up this rumor?"
