The second son brought back the medicine package and also relayed a message from the Fan family: they would come over tomorrow morning to help with the house construction.
When the second brother came back, he overheard the third brother complaining. After asking what happened, he launched into a tirade.
"If it weren't for my little sister asking me to return the cart, I would have beaten her to death!"
The eldest brother suddenly looked up, and the third brother's voice dropped.
"Brother, I was just exaggerating, just a little bit!"
"But we definitely can't let her swagger around like that and ruin my sister's reputation!"
The eldest sister-in-law spoke up fairly, "Fortunately, the villagers are still grateful. It seems that those who agree are from other villages."
The third brother added, "Indeed, Sister-in-law Feng's actions, as a warning to others, are appropriate."
The eldest brother looked at Ruan Meng and said, "Little sister, you go first."
Ruan Meng's voice was calm, "Brother, the He family has deep roots on the island, and there are still people who dare to cause trouble behind their backs. This shows..."
“The inhabitants of the South Island are not moral and do not know how to analyze the pros and cons.”
Second brother and third brother: Little sister is so refined, but she lacks martial ethics and manners!
Ruan Meng continued, "During the argument, the other party clearly pointed out that the sauce was delivered by us, which shows that we were being targeted."
"For the time being, He Family Restaurant is not afraid of causing trouble and has adopted my suggestion to publish the recipe for seafood with dipping sauce."
"In the short term, the businesses of restaurants and eateries that imitate us will definitely be affected. We can't afford to offend the He family, but they can easily crush us."
“Our business has just begun. The villagers haven’t settled their cash payments yet. If outsiders cause trouble and the villagers become divided, it will be difficult for us to develop in the future.”
"Furthermore, with internal and external troubles, if the villagers don't side with their own people, whether they tamper with the seafood they buy or do something else, it will be easy for others to find fault with them."
“Last time, we didn’t catch the suspicious Yang family member. Now, Zhou’s sister-in-law has appeared. We can’t let our guard down.”
After Ruan Meng finished speaking, her elder brother nodded solemnly, "After we finish eating, your sister-in-law and I will go up the mountain to the village chief's house."
"Explain the situation and take precautions. We are being targeted, which is bound to happen. But if the village chief sides with us, at least there won't be any problems in the village."
"Regarding the house construction, I will ask the eldest and second eldest sons of the Feng family to speed up the process, and we will try to finish it in two days."
"After this is over, I will ask the village chief to introduce us to the county magistrate. Based on our last meeting and the opinions of the village chief and villagers, the county magistrate has a good reputation."
“If we help the villagers get out of trouble, the county magistrate will recognize our efforts if he truly cares about the villagers.”
"Loosening the soil in advance is better than trying to fix it afterward."
Ruan Meng and her second and third brothers nodded obediently.
My elder brother is skilled in strategy; using him to deal with the local bullies on the southern islands is a complete waste of his talents!
Ruan Meng's only worry was her older brother's health.
If it weren't for her brother's poor health after arriving on the island, many of Ruan Meng's plans would have been accelerated.
With her second brother lacking experience and her third brother prone to impulsiveness, Ruan Mengcai was extra cautious when taking care of them.
Ruan Meng reached out her hand, letting her elder brother extend his wrist. After taking his pulse, she couldn't help but show a look of joy.
The second brother shrank closer to the third brother, "Third brother, I'm a little scared by your little brother's laughter!"
The third brother: "Second brother, don't lean on me! I'm scared too!"
The eldest sister-in-law laughed, "Our little sister is a lucky star! And a little fox, so clever!"
Ruan Mengyang raised her eyebrows, "Big brother is much better now, and I hope he gets even better so we can do lots of things!"
The second and third brothers nodded, but then felt something was off.
Aren't they human beings? Weren't they working before?
Little sister, you just came back from the city. Who pulled you around on the cart?!
Ruan Meng smiled without saying a word. The effect of using one's brain is completely incomparable to the effect of using one's physical strength.
Second and third brothers, you'll see them soon enough.
"Yes! Big brother needs to recover quickly so our little sister can have some peace of mind!"
Ruan Meng and her second brother ate steamed buns on the way, so they weren't very hungry.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law were about to eat when they suddenly heard Ruan Meng call out, "Wait a minute!"
Ruan Meng got up, found the goldenrod given to her by the Xinglintang shop assistant, and showed it to her elder brother and sister-in-law.
"What's this?"
The brothers and sisters-in-law were all attracted by the bright colors and fragrant scent of the broom flowers.
As Ruan Meng explained, she washed the food and urged her second brother to hurry up and cook the pot.
After cracking in five eggs and mixing well, add a little salt. The resulting omelet is vibrant and crispy, and the room is instantly filled with the fragrance of flowers and eggs.
"Eat!"
The words had barely left his mouth when a large piece of the goldenrod omelet disappeared into the mouths of the three children. (Image from the internet)
