Mu Zhuoxuan glanced at his silent elder brother, then blinked at Xia Zhiliao and told Zhiliao with his mouth that what he said was very good.
"You don't understand our business."
After a long while, Mu Zhuolin spoke.
Xia Zhiliao smiled. What was there for her not to understand? Although the novel only said that they had a good relationship as brothers, she really experienced it from her own experience. She knew that Mu Zhuolin loved his brother like a brother and a father.
Of course, he will be a very responsible brother in the future, and will tell his younger brothers that they can do whatever they want even if they are in a high position and have power. He is strict with others and even stricter with himself.
It is true that he is a good person, but Xia Zhiliao still has some things to say.
"You're doing this for his own good. You know he's not in good health and you're worried that he might have an accident. You also feel really bad about what happened last time, right?"
Mu Zhuolin looked at Xia Zhiliao, wondering how she knew everything.
"But you can't watch over him forever, right? He needs some freedom. Do you have to see everyone he knows in the future and control every decision he makes?"
Xia Zhiliao felt that Mu Zhuoxuan would live a suffocating life like this, and she couldn't imagine whether she was saving him or harming him.
Mu Zhuoxuan nodded, "Brother, I... I just want to stay here. Believe me, Aunt Jinxiu is a good person."
Mu Zhuolin didn't say anything, but he still listened to what Xia Zhiliao said.
Xia Zhiliao also breathed a sigh of relief. "My aunt is a good person. As for whether she will be your stepmother, that is not something we can decide. But now, you can stay as a guest and taste my aunt's cooking skills."
Mu Zhuolin looked at Xia Zhiliao. He didn't expect that after such an unpleasant encounter just now, she would still invite him. This made him feel a little ashamed. He was not as broad-minded as a little girl.
"Brother, please stay. I like the hustle and bustle and don't like staying at home. I'm really fine." Mu Zhuoxuan begged.
Mu Zhuolin hummed coldly, but the little guys were extremely happy.
Mu Zhuolin couldn't help but fall into deep thought, wondering if he was really wrong.
"I haven't visited my aunt yet."
"I'll go too." Mu Zhuoxuan said, and then followed Xia Zhile in.
How could Su Mingche be willing to fall behind? Mu Zhuolin looked at the three little guys and curled his lips.
In this way, my brother is really happy to hear this.
Xia Jinxiu was quite surprised that Mu Zhuoxuan could come, after all, he was the son of the county magistrate.
"Why are you here?"
"Aunt Jinxiu, I want to eat the noodles you made. I still remember the taste of the noodles you made last time."
Xia Jinxiu smiled. A child without a mother was quite pitiful even if he came from a good family. It was just a bowl of noodles. The shop had not opened yet two days ago. She and her fourth brother were busy inside. He happened to pass by and found out it was her, so he came in to say hello.
She was just being polite and asked him to give way to her, but he was so impolite that he ate two bowls in a row and said they were delicious.
"It's easy. I'll do it for you later. You guys go and have fun for a while. But be careful not to bump into anything, especially you. I can't afford to compensate you." Xia Jinxiu said with a smile.
Mu Zhuoxuan blushed in embarrassment, "Aunt Jinxiu, thank you very much. By the way, I wish you a prosperous business."
"Thank you, Master Mu."
Su Mingche was not to be outdone. Although he didn't like studying, he liked doing business, so he would also say auspicious words related to business, "Aunt, may your wealth and fortune flourish."
"Thank you, Master Su."
Xia Zhiliao frowned, "When did you become so familiar with my aunt?"
"Hehe, she is your aunt, so she is naturally my aunt as well. We both do business in the county. How could I not know her?" Su Mingche explained.
"I know. I haven't had time to talk to you yet. Boss Su and Young Master Su have helped me a lot. I have to thank them both later."
"You're welcome, little aunt. My life was saved by my little sister Zhiliao."
When Su Mingche said this, it seemed like he was demonstrating to Mu Zhuoxuan.
Mu Zhuoxuan didn’t think so much about it. He just felt that Sister Zhiliao was really amazing. She saved so many people at such a young age.
"Okay, I have to get busy. Zhiliao, you take them out to play."
Everyone in the Xia family started to get busy, and Xia Zhiliao didn't intend to cause more trouble, so he took his people out to the door.
Lei Jiuniang still had some reputation in the county. She helped greet guests at the door with Xia Jinheng and his wife. Most of the guests who came greeted her, which showed that they were acquaintances.
With her support, Xia Jinxiu's restaurant business is easy to do. After all, even if someone wants to cause trouble, they have to consider her.
Xia Zhiliao took them to find a quieter place. Although she was the youngest, in her eyes, Mu Zhuoxuan and Su Mingche were both children.
She was not happy to coax the children to play, "You two play, have fun, don't fight."
"What about you?" Mu Zhuoxuan asked timidly.
Xia Zhiliao yawned and said, "I'll take a break."
"Then I'll accompany you."
"I'll accompany you too." Su Mingche said.
Xia Zhiliao sighed, "No, I'll stay by myself for a while."
However, the two boys showed no intention of leaving.
Xia Zhiliao was also speechless. Are these two pieces of rice cakes on the left and right?
"Zhi Liao, you were so powerful just now. You were able to make my elder brother speechless. I dare not do that." Mu Zhuoxuan said.
Xia Zhiliao waved his hand, "It's nothing, it makes sense, but... he is doing this for your own good, he is afraid that you will be deceived."
"I know, but you're not a bad person, and neither is Aunt Jinxiu." Mu Zhuoxuan looked around, "Actually... if Aunt Jinxiu were to be my stepmother, I'd be quite happy."
Xia Zhiliao looked at him suddenly, and Mu Zhuoxuan nodded again, "Really, it's just that my father is too old, and we brothers are not worthy of Aunt Jinxiu."
Xia Zhi nodded, "That's right."
"What about my father? Does my father have a chance?" Su Mingche asked.
Xia Zhiliao glared at him and said with disdain, "Su Mingche, why do you want to join in on everything? Although you don't have a mother, your father is already so old. He's almost as old as my aunt. What a joke."
The first time Su Mingche felt inferior was because of his father.
How come you are that old?
Not living up to expectations.
Mu Zhuoxuan looked at Xia Zhiliao, "What about my father? Is my father okay?"
"We can't decide this matter. Although Lord Mu is very kind, they both need to agree. And your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, please stop eating my aunt. I can't bear to see my aunt suffer."
Being a stepmother is not easy, which is why Xia Zhiliao doesn't want to match them up.
Mu Zhuoxuan lowered his head. He couldn't make decisions for his brothers, but his father could try.
