After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 24

Don't be afraid, don't look back...

Wei Zi closed her eyes tightly, and the darkest and most desperate moment when she was pushed into the dry well appeared in her mind.

Can't be afraid, can't look back.

Looking back, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains that cannot be walked out, and an abyss that cannot be climbed.

She murmured silently in her heart, and finally mustered up the courage to face the crowd again: "Boss Zuo, I will offer you 800 taels of silver to buy this restaurant of yours."

After she finished speaking, her beating heart suddenly miraculously calmed down as usual.

She took the first step in doing business.

It doesn't seem that difficult to deal with strangers?

To show his sincerity, Xiao Fengxian immediately sent someone back to Wutong Garden to collect money.

During the waiting time, Wei Zi listened to Zuo Hualing talk about the restaurant.

Her father injured his right hand some time ago, and he will no longer be able to cook in the future. He is also feudal and superstitious, and refuses to pass on Zuo’s food to her, the only daughter. Without those signature dishes, the restaurant’s business is going from bad to worse. closed.

Boss Zhang of the restaurant opposite, liked to compare with his father when he was young, the steps in front of the door must be two more steps, the stone lions must be a circle bigger, the threshold must be half higher, and even the plaques and signboards must be bigger , more luxurious.

Later, the two got married and had children. Boss Zhang had two sons, but his father had only one daughter. Boss Zhang was overjoyed. Every time they met these years, he would mock his father for not having a son to take care of him. .

His father had no choice but to decide that there were only two paths in front of him, either to marry Boss Zhang and let Zhang's son inherit Zuo's cuisine, or to sell the restaurant and return to the countryside to retire.

Zuo Hualing clenched her fists angrily: "Miss Wei, I'm not afraid of making fun of you when I say it. If I really don't know how to cook, that's fine. But I'm more talented and work harder than the two boys surnamed Zhang on the opposite side. The loss is due to gender Come on, I really don't want to die!"

Wei Zi sympathized: "Miss Zuo..."

"Yo, there are so many people!"

Rong Jiarong rushed over.

Wutong Court was unoccupied, so he just stayed there and didn't leave.

Seeing that Xiao Fengxian sent someone back to withdraw the money, he volunteered to deliver the money himself.

He handed the money box to Wei Zi: "Good luck, a total of 800 taels of silver, please order some, sister-in-law."

Yu Hehuan waved her round fan and smiled: "Selling the restaurant is the worst policy after all. Boss Zuo, I have already asked the experts in the Marriage Hall to calculate the birthdays of Miss Zuo and Mr. Zhang. They are a match made in heaven. Carry forward Zuojia cuisine."

"Coincidentally, my old profession is fortune-telling. Since you said that they are a match made in heaven, then you can show me their birth dates, and I'll see if it's auspicious." Rong Jiarong sat down with his robe lifted.

"What's the matter with your fortune-telling?" Yu Hehuan glared at him, then turned to Boss Zuo, "Boss Zuo, although I'm young, I'm a good judge of people. Miss Zuo and Mr. Zhang are married for three generations. miss!"

Rong Jiarong blew the cup of tea: "What kind of marriage for three generations, it's obviously a marriage! As a matchmaker, you just blindly help the man to persecute her regardless of whether the woman is willing or not. You can see that you are an unscrupulous matchmaker."

Eat out of the house, unscrupulous matchmaker...

The smile on Yu Hehuan's face was almost unstoppable!
She clenched the round fan tightly and said with a suffocated anger: "Please also say that you can accumulate virtue, as the saying goes, 'It is better to demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage', haven't you heard of it?"

"It also depends on what kind of marriage it is."

"What kind of marriage? Good marriage, good looks, good looks, Qin and Jin love!"

"Hey, I think it's a mess of mandarin ducks, forcing a good man into prostitution, and working in embarrassment!"

Yu Hehuan stood up suddenly: "Who are you calling a coward?!"

"I'll scold whoever gets angry!"

"you--"

Yuhehuan turned pale with anger, and slapped the round fan vigorously.

She was too lazy to take care of Rong Jiarong's shit-stirring stick, and turned to Boss Zuo with a smile: "The Zhang family sincerely proposes to marry, and the dowry gift list has been drawn up. You marry your daughter, and we live close together, which is no different from marrying into your own home." The difference. Having an extra son-in-law is equivalent to having an extra son. From now on, you will always have inexhaustible blessings!"

"Hey," Rong Jiarong laughed out loud, "I've been wiped out, so I'm lucky!"

Wei Zi said softly: "I really want to buy this restaurant, and please ask Boss Zuo to make it happen."

"Father..." Zuo Hualing choked up, "My daughter doesn't like the Zhang family's kid. Instead of marrying him and ruining my whole life, it's better to sell this restaurant and my daughter will accompany you back to the countryside to retire!"

Boss Zuo closed his eyes sadly.

He was reluctant to lose Zuojia cuisine, and he also hated his daughter being wronged.

After weighing for a while, he finally made up his mind.

He said: "Since Miss Wei sincerely wants to buy it, then Zuo will sell it to you. This restaurant has condensed the hard work of several generations of our Zuo family, please cherish it."

"Definitely." Wei Zi promised, and took Zuo Hualing's hand again, "In addition, I also want to hire Miss Zuo to be the main chef of the restaurant. Would you agree?"

Zuo Hualing was stunned.

She couldn't believe it, sore the tip of her nose: "Miss Wei?!"

Wei Zi smiled softly.

In her previous life, she was trapped in the backyard of the Xiao family.

That small house is a mountain that she can't get out of.

Zuo Hualing seems to be free, but she is actually trapped in the mountain of "gender prejudice".

She wants to take Zuo Hualing and go out together!

Xiao Fengxian sniffed the fragrance left between her fingers.

His widowed sister-in-law is like that delicate little canary, not only struggling to escape from the cage by herself, but also encouraging other people's sparrows to fly out with her.

How high can she fly?

The boy is looking forward to it.

After completing the procedures for buying and selling the restaurant, Xiao Fengxian reminded: "Sister-in-law, it's time for us to go home."

Wei Zi nodded.

It's time to go home.

They didn't return all night, and the Xiao family didn't know what the trouble was.

……

The Xiao residence was quiet, it seemed that even the wind had stopped.

Wei Zi and Xiao Fengxian walked through the corridor, and as soon as they stepped into the main courtyard, they saw more than a dozen high-ranking chairs placed under the corridor of the hall. Besides Xiao Gui and his wife, the Xing family and his wife and several other relatives also came.

They sat high and high on the top chairs, as if they were on trial.

Xiao Dujuan was eating melon seeds, when he saw two people coming in out of the corner of his eye, he threw away the melon seed shell excitedly, shouting: "Mother, they are back!"

Mrs. Xing immediately patted the table, and scolded Wei Zi and Xiao Fengxian sharply: "What a pair of adulterers and prostitutes, you offended Shen Shilang first, and you didn't return at night, and now you dare to come back! Don't kneel down, We're going to interrogate you!"

Xiao Gui didn't say anything, but vicious and dark lights flashed in his shrewd little eyes.

Last night, he discussed it with Xing.

It is a serious crime for Ling Xiao to stop his wife and remarry, and it will be a disaster for Wei Zi to live.

But their family pays the most attention to manners and manners, and they also pay the most attention to decency and elegance. After all, it is not a thing to murder secretly. Why not take advantage of Wei Zi's mistake this time and charge her as a "slut", and drown her in a big way die.

In this way, it will neither affect Ling Xiao's career prospects nor damage their family's dignity.

Therefore, they deliberately invited relatives and friends overnight to be witnesses, proving that the Xiao family was right and Wei Zi was at fault.

Wei Zi was in a daze: "The adulterer?"

"Aren't you and your uncle an adulterer?!" Xing Qianri's mother, Liu Shi, leaned on the chair, looking sickly, with wrinkled triangular eyes turned to the sky.

She took a breath, and said to Xing: "Sister, I have already said that it is not a good thing for a woman to be too beautiful. She knows how to seduce men all day long like a goblin, and all good men are led to ruin by them. Two years ago, I asked you to sell this little whore, but you didn't listen. Now it's all right, and a big disaster happened. I think, only by sinking her into the pond can Shen Shilang's anger be calmed down, so that we won't be implicated. Home."

Other relatives nodded in agreement.

Xing wiped her tears and complained: "Sister-in-law, I am not afraid of your jokes. I am an old woman, how can I control these two people! One is a disobedient and unfilial daughter-in-law, and the other didn't crawl out of my intestines. I want to control them." , I don’t dare to care about it! On weekdays, don’t you live by watching their faces?”

This is hypocrisy.

Liu Shi and the other women wiped away their tears, as if they were very moved.
