ALL NOVEL Chapter 35 Treat him to hot pot
Zhu Dahu didn't expect that his mother would still choose his second brother at this time. But he didn't want to listen to his mother this time. He wanted to find a way out for his wife, children and other people in the family.
He broke free from his mother's hand and begged Yuan Chuyi, "I beg my employer to keep us husband and wife. We will work hard!"
They have food and shelter here, and the owner even gives them meat. Where else in the world can they find such a good owner! Not only can their family spend the New Year with peace of mind here, but they will also be able to officially start work after the New Year. Then they will have wages and hope for their lives. How could they leave Qi for a bastard? The life and death of the family!
"Uh!" Yuan Chuyi scratched her eyebrows. She didn't expect them to want to stay. She thought they would listen to their mother and leave with their families.
Although Zhu Dahu and his mother-in-law seemed to be honest people, their mother was obviously partial to the second son. Otherwise, why would she rather return the family to a deserted village and rely on government relief and live a life without a meal? Leave her second son behind! She really didn't want to have more contact with such an old man who had no bottom line and doted on a child.
Seeing Yuan Chu Yi's hesitation, Zhu Dahu hurriedly pulled his mother-in-law to kowtow to Yuan Chu Yi and continued to beg her to take them in.
"Please Madam Yuan, please take us in!" Several children behind them also spontaneously kowtowed to Yuan Chuyi and begged.
Yuan Chuyi sighed and looked at the family of nearly ten people, big and small, and had no choice but to say, "In that case, you can stay for now! But your second brother will not be allowed to appear in our Xishan Village in this life. Also, you have to take care of your family and don’t let them cause me any trouble, otherwise I will fire you two at any time!”
Zhu Dahu was overjoyed, "Yes, yes, yes! I will take care of my family and not cause you any trouble!"
"I'll take care of that person!" Xiao Jing said and raised his fingers to the side. Leng Shuanghua floated forward, picked up the person on the ground and left. It didn't matter whether he was dead or alive. Anyway, from now on, the people of the Zhu family No one saw Zhu Erlong again.
Zhu Dahu and Xiao Jing kowtowed to express their gratitude. Their mother had doted on this older brother since he was a child, and she put him first in everything in the family. Eventually, he developed an arrogant and domineering personality. Not only was he domineering at home, but he was also lawless outside. His eldest brother had to deal with him every now and then. , he had long been fed up with it.
Now that someone finally cleaned up this bastard, and they also had a place to stay and could start a new life, how could he not be grateful. Only Zhu's mother saw her little son being taken away, whose life and death were unknown. She couldn't help but cry so hard that she wanted to die, but no one paid attention to her.
Xiao Jing looked at Yuan Chuyi helplessly, took two steps forward and came to her, and without saying a word, took the roster and pen from her hand.
On the side, Lou Xingyun slipped forward without waiting for Xiao Jing to speak, took the register and pen from Xiao Jing's hand, and said with a smile to Yuan Chuyi: "Ms. Yuan has been tired for a day, and the remaining families, Our brothers will check it for you!”
"This is not good! How dare I trouble you adults!" Yuan Chuyi was confused by them. This was her own business. Why were they so enthusiastic? She felt abnormal.
"There's nothing wrong with that. We are fellow villagers, and you've worked hard to take care of Xuan Yue these days. It's right for us brothers to do something for you! We will do a good job, don't worry!" Lou Xingyun said as he was familiar with the road. I went to check the information with the Zhu family.
Yuan Chuyi was relieved, it turned out that they only helped her because they were fellow villagers, and she had saved Xuan Yue, nothing more!
Xuan Yue looked suspicious, is this really the case? In the past, when they wanted to express their gratitude, they just threw a bag of money to others. When had they ever expressed their gratitude through actions?
After watching Lou Xingyun settle the Zhu family without any accidents, Yuan Chuyi saluted Xiao Jing and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"
Xiao Jing was staring at Yuan Chuyi's belly in a daze. He came back to his senses after hearing her words and said angrily: "Why does a woman show her face all day long and mess around! With so many people here, Can you handle it? If a few more of those bastards come, can you handle it?"
Yuan Chuyi touched his nose in embarrassment and smiled obediently, "Your Majesty reminded me that I didn't think well! Thanks to Your Majesty's help just now, I was able to frighten these people. I think no one will dare to do it again in the future." Make trouble with me!"
Xiao Jing raised the corners of his lips proudly, hoping that this woman was not stupid enough not to see his good intentions.
When Yuanchu saw the faint smile on the corner of Xiao Jing's mouth, she immediately felt that this person was not always aloof, cold and distant. She couldn't help but muster the courage to say: "Is the prince in a hurry to go back? If not, I would like to ask You are having a meal with some adults, thank you for your help!"
Xiao Jing rolled his eyes, then reluctantly said, "It depends on what you cook is delicious! If it is delicious, you can keep it!"
Little did he know that he was just thinking about some excuse to stay and have more contact with her.
"What do you think of eating hot pot?" Yuan Chuyi felt that it would be best to have hot pot for dinner now that it's so cold, and she wouldn't have to work in the kitchen in a smoky manner.
Xiao Jing pretended to think for a while, then nodded, "Okay! It's getting late, why don't you go back and prepare now, leave this place to a few of them, and I'll keep an eye on you!"
He made a "please" gesture to her in the courtyard of the first day of Yuan Dynasty.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he thanked with a smile, bowed slightly, and turned back to go home to prepare dinner.
Yuan Chuyi also planned to have hot pot tonight this morning, but the ingredients she prepared earlier were obviously not enough for Xiao Jing and the other six or seven grown men, and she also wanted to invite the village chief to accompany her, at least ten of them.
Even so, she didn't panic at all. While there was no one around, she quickly exchanged some common hot pot ingredients such as ribs, pork belly, mutton, chicken, sesame water, etc. from the farm market, plus her existing Meatballs, yuba, tofu slices, white tofu, it didn't take much effort to prepare a table full of ingredients.
By the time she had stewed the radish ribs and prepared the soup pot in the kitchen, Xiao Jing and the others had already settled down with the employees and their families and returned. She immediately asked Shiliu to run to ask the village chief to come over, and also asked Zhou Dayong to stay with her. Ten of them sat at a full table.
Xiao Jing was very surprised when he saw a table full of ingredients and the exquisite dishes and chopsticks on the table. Looking at the smiling woman busy setting the dishes, he suddenly realized that he was narrow-minded!
He thought that in addition to supporting herself, this woman also had to support her younger brothers and sisters, so her life must be difficult. She said she wanted to treat herself to hot pot. The ingredients for the hot pot were a few pieces of meat at most, but she didn't expect it to be so rich! Although it doesn't have the delicacies of the palace, it is much richer than those who also live in thatched houses.
