Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Chapter 243 Dou Sheng

"Uncle, we are here today because we want to trouble you with something."

Since others had seen through it, the two of them no longer hid their intentions and stated their purpose directly.

Upon hearing this, there was no change in the expressions of the two old men, but the expressions of Sun Boyuan and his wife turned cold.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin are neither blind nor stupid, so they can naturally feel the change in the atmosphere.

Sun Wanshan still had a cheerful look on his face: "Oh? What's the matter?"

There was no change in tone.

"We are planning to go to Zhaoming County tomorrow. We probably won't be back for ten days. There's nothing else to worry about, but I'm really worried about the children at home."

"To be honest, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you uncles. If it were the days before when we were so poor that mice would cry and leave, we wouldn't be worried that someone would come up with any bad ideas."

"But now that the workshop is open, the business is on the right track and we can be considered to have a small business. I was afraid that when we were here, they didn't dare to come to us, but now that there is no adult at home, they will come to us without restraint."

"The oldest of these children is only seventeen, and they have never experienced anything. We are really worried, but Zhaoming has to go. That's why I shamelessly came to your house and hoped that you uncles could help us take care of some of the children."

After saying this, the two of them looked at their expressions calmly.

After listening to what they said, it was obvious that Sun Boyuan and his wife's expressions softened a lot, while Sun Wanshan and his wife still kept smiling.

Seeing this, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, they must have thought that the two people had other intentions in coming to the door, so the young couple looked unhappy.

Now that the two of them have explained themselves clearly, everything will be fine.

However, even though this matter seemed insignificant to them, Sun Wanshan would not agree to it easily.

"But your brother Boyuan and the others will have to leave the day after tomorrow. Only your aunt, me, and Sun Fu are left at home. If anything really happens then, I'm afraid we won't be able to help." Sun Wanshan looked embarrassed.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other. Was this a polite refusal?

Yes, they chose to live in this village instead of the prosperous and wealthy life outside, just for the quiet. On weekdays, they keep their doors closed and rarely communicate with the villagers, probably because they don't want to attract attention.

The villagers only knew that the Sun family was a wealthy family, and no one dared to approach them. The fact that they were able to enter the courtyard twice was already a sign of respect from the Sun family.

In this case, the two would not force it. With the village chief's family and Old Chen's family, there should be no problem. Coming to the Sun family is just to have an extra layer of protection.

"So that's the case. We were a bit rude. We won't bother you anymore. If you have time, you can come to our house and stay for a while some other day." Zheng Yuan still had a smile on his face as he politely said goodbye to them.

After saying that, the two of them stood up, bowed and prepared to leave.

The family, who originally thought that they would say something to achieve their goal, didn't like them being so straightforward and just walked out without saying a word.

"Okay. Then just go slowly, or we won't see you out. Just go without worry. Although I, an old fellow, don't have much strength, I'm still good at talking. If you meet that unreasonable person at home, I, an old man, can still fight with her." Sun Wanshan stood up, still smiling.

Is this a disguised promise to them that I will help look after the children?

The two people who had been prepared to return empty-handed suddenly got the desired result, and the smiles on their faces could not be hidden.

"Thank you, uncle! Then we will go back."

"Go, Sun Fu! Send them both out." Sun Wanshan turned around and shouted to Sun Fu.

Sun Fu hurried over and sent the two of them out.

Looking at the backs of Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin as they left, Sun Wanshan stroked his beard and sat back.

"See, Boss, I told you they were both interesting, but you didn't believe me."

"Dad, didn't you say that they are completely different now than they were before? I was a little nervous too. They just asked for our help, so I became alert," Sun Boyuan explained.

But in his heart he was quietly complaining about his father.

When he talked about himself, he looked very confident, as if he was not the one who rejected the other person just now.

Sun Wanshan ignored his son's thoughts and kept muttering to himself, "I am also very confused. How could this person's temperament change so much all of a sudden? But this change doesn't seem to be a bad thing. Look how prosperous his life is now."

Mrs. Sun lifted the teapot and poured more tea for the father and son.

"Forget it. Since we know they have no plans against us, why think so much? I think they know how to act and act appropriately, and they have a plan in mind. They are really two wonderful people. Miao Xiang, look at how well this rose-scented toothpaste is made."

"Ma'am, these two bottles of toothpaste bought you off?"

Mrs. Sun ignored Sun Wanshan and turned to study the bottles of toothpaste with her daughter-in-law.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were also discussing the matter on their way home, not understanding why Sun Wanshan suddenly changed his attitude.

At first, it was obvious that he didn't want to care, but when the two of them gave up, he suddenly agreed.

The two reviewed every sentence that had just been said, but didn't find anything special.

In the end, we can only attribute it to the fact that Sun Wanshan felt sorry for them and was out of kindness.

Without dwelling on this issue any further, the two of them walked quickly towards home.

As soon as they arrived at the courtyard gate, they smelled the strong aroma of food. They touched their rumbling stomachs and ran to the kitchen.

Tao'er was cooking, and there were already a few bowls of freshly cooked dishes on the stove.

Braised pork, spicy chicken with dogwood, stir-fried cabbage...

"Mom, aunt, you're back? We can eat soon." Tao'er said to them with a smile when she saw them come in.

The two nodded, holding back their saliva and taking another deep breath.

Zheng Yuan took out a big bowl and put some of the braised pork made by Taoer into the bowl, then called Sizhu over.

"Sizhu, go take this bowl of braised pork to your village chief grandmother, and then bring back a bowl of fermented tofu." Zheng Yuan put the bowl in Sizhu's hand.

"Okay, mom." Sizhu sucked his saliva, turned around and ran out.

"Come back as soon as you deliver it! If your village head lady invites you to dinner, tell her that it's ready at home." Zheng Yuan gave another instruction to Sizhu's back.

"I know, mother!"

When the voice came, the four pillars had already run far away.

Soon all the food was ready and on the table. The family sat down together, waiting for Sizhu to come back before they could start eating.

Tao'er's cooking skills are getting better and better now. The whole family sitting at the table are swallowing their saliva.

Finally, Sizhu pushed open the door panting, holding a basin of tofu.

Xu Hui Niang quickly stood up, took it and put it on the table.

The tofu is already cooked, and is topped with shredded cabbage and Sichuan peppercorns, which smells delicious.

"Oh my! Why did you bring such a big basin?" Zheng Yuan exclaimed when he saw the full basin.

"I don't know. I just walked to the door of the village chief's house and happened to meet the village chief's grandmother. She gave me the raw beans. I gave her braised pork but she didn't want it, so I ran into their house and put it down and ran back." Sizhu came out after washing his hands with an innocent look on his face.

This is because they are afraid that the whole family will not have enough food.

It just so happens that I haven’t eaten raw beans for a long time and I’m craving for them, so I’ll eat them to my heart’s content today.

Aji had never eaten raw tofu before, so he immediately scooped up a big bowl of it.

In addition to the large table of dishes prepared by Tao'er, this meal also included a full pot of raw tofu. The whole family ate until their bellies were full. After eating, they all held their stomachs and groaned.

Fortunately, we had to prepare things for tomorrow's market. By the time the things were ready, everyone had almost finished their food, so we washed up and went to sleep one after another.
