Chapter 175 Accompany
Xu Zhichun: "But Xiaoyan, this is really a case of you can't avoid it even if you try."
Zeng Xiaoyan: “.”
Zeng Xiaoyan instantly wilted. Yes, her stepmother was very difficult to deal with, and it was impossible for her not to go.
Liang Mingliang was troubled and entangled, but he still stood up bravely, "Don't be afraid, wife, I will go with you tomorrow."
Zeng Xiaoyan glanced at him and was not comforted.
Even if he went, could he fight with her stepmother?
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "I'll go to your house tonight. Let's discuss it with the village head and aunt. Maybe aunt can go with you tomorrow."
"Yes!"
Zeng Xiaoyan's eyes lit up and she felt relieved.
Her mother-in-law will definitely be on her side.
If the mother-in-law is with her, what can the stepmother do?
"Let's go back quickly. We need to dig a lot of konjac today."
"Well, let's go!"
When I told Liang Lizheng and Aunt Liang San about it in the evening, Aunt Liang San was so angry that she immediately agreed.
"Mrs. Zeng is really strange. Why does she always bother Xiaoyan when she has the time to discipline her brother and son? Xiaoyan married into our family, so even if there's any need for us to take care of her, it should be ours. It's not right for her family to interfere every other day."
The bride's family calls her back from her husband's house every few days to give her a lesson. How can that be?
Knowing that Mrs. Zeng looked down on her, Aunt Liang San would not call Mrs. Zeng "relative" when talking about her.
The next day, in addition to providing ice jelly to Manager Tang, there were also tomatoes.
Xu Zhichun also told Aunt Zhu'er about it. Aunt Zhu'er went to the vegetable garden for a walk and came back happily saying that she could pick about ten kilograms for her family.
So this morning, among the 80 kilograms of tomatoes delivered, 10 kilograms were from Aunt Zhuer.
Two hundred and fifty cents were obtained, and Aunt Zhuer decided to fertilize the tomatoes when she had time.
After entering the city, Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingliang went to the Lotus Restaurant to deliver goods.
Shopkeeper Tang hurriedly arranged for people to sort the ice jelly and tomatoes and quickly deliver them to the restaurants and teahouses in Qingyang County.
"By the way, Madam Xu, I've also heard about the icing jelly incident. Fang Zhengduan is truly shameless. Fortunately, Madam Xu is capable. It shows that God still has eyes. Madam Xu, if there's anything you need help with, just come and tell me."
Xu Zhichun thanked him gratefully: "If there is anything, I will definitely trouble Shopkeeper Tang."
"I heard that Fang Zhengduan's most capable lackey, Lai Sheng, had to take the blame for this incident and has been dismissed. He's a ruthless person, and there's no telling what Fang Zhengduan might be instigating behind the scenes. Madam Xu, please be careful."
It is easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.
Xu Zhichun's heart trembled, "Thank you, Manager Tang."
"As I should," Shopkeeper Tang smiled and waved his hand. "Here's another funny story, I'll tell it to Madam Xu for a laugh. Didn't those ten hooligans get beaten with sticks? They left the yamen and went to Fang Zhengduan to demand money. They extorted two hundred taels from him, which really pissed him off."
"Don't worry, Madam Xu. Those people are tactful and will never dare to cause you any trouble again, nor will they seek revenge in secret. They are very smart and know what they can and cannot do."
"That's good. I was a little worried at first, but after hearing what Shopkeeper Tang said, I feel relieved."
Xu Zhichun felt relieved after hearing this. He was a little worried at first. Since Manager Tang was a local in the city, he must have his reasons since he was so confident.
Shopkeeper Tang laughed heartily, rubbing his hands together, and began to hesitate. "Madam Xu, I have something else to ask. Our boss's sister, the aunt from the Qin family, asked me for the recipe for ice jelly before, saying she wanted to take it back to her husband's shop in Changshui County to sell it, but I made an excuse to refuse. This matter is now making a big fuss, and I'm sure she will find out soon. This aunt has a bit of a temper, and our boss spoiled her. She has never suffered any hardship since she was a child. If she sends someone to find Madam Xu, please tell them to tell me. Our boss is a reasonable person, so Madam Xu, don't worry."
Xu Zhichun sighed secretly. He didn't expect that a recipe for ice jelly would cause so much trouble. Fortunately, it was just an accident and it was still under control.
Xu Zhichun nodded. "Thank you, Shopkeeper Tang, for reminding me. I'll keep it in mind. To be honest, I have to keep this ice jelly recipe for my family. I won't be selling it under any circumstances. I hope Shopkeeper Tang will understand."
"I understand, of course I understand. No one would sell their family easily, right?"
The money for ice jelly, konjac tofu and konjac noodles is still paid in cash every day, while the money for tomatoes is all recorded and settled once a month.
Today, Aunt Liang San and Chunfen also went into the city with them. Liang Mingliang sent Xu Zhichun to the Lotus Restaurant and then went back.
He was worried and wanted to accompany Aunt Liang and Zeng Xiaoyan to Zeng's house.
Chunfen accompanied Aunt Zhuer in setting up a stall.
After coming out of the Lotus Restaurant, Xu Zhichun became more determined to take Chunfen to the city every day to set up a stall together.
When Xu Zhichun returned to the stall, Aunt Liang had already taken Zeng Xiaoyan and Liang Mingliang to Zeng's house.
Madam Zeng had just finished breakfast when she heard her mother-in-law arrive. She was stunned for a moment and sneered at Nanny Fang, "The third girl is quite imaginative. I'd like to see what her mother-in-law can do! Just say I'm busy and take them to the small flower hall and make them wait for an hour before we talk."
Nanny Fang hesitated a bit: "Madam, she is the Third Young Lady's mother-in-law after all."
Madam Zeng sneered, "So what? Our Zeng family's son-in-law is the eldest son of the Qingyang Qi family. What does Liangjia Village mean to him?"
"Yes, ma'am."
Zeng Xiaoyan knew all about this tactic and stood up immediately: "Mom, since my mother is busy, why don't we go to the store to find my father and ask him what's going on?"
Nanny Fang's expression changed slightly: "Third Miss, what do you mean?"
Third Aunt Liang was also disgusted and protected Zeng Xiaoyan: "You don't need to ask our third family. Since your wife is busy, I'm not so tactless as to insist on seeing her. She said she had something to do and that's why we came, but she ignored us. In our country, we don't neglect relatives like this. Your Zeng family is different."
Aunt Liang was almost pointing at her nose and scolding her for not knowing the rules and etiquette.
Nanny Fang was a little embarrassed: "Our wife happens to be really busy at the moment, how could she neglect your wife? Otherwise, your wife can wait a little longer, and I will report to your wife."
"snort."
Nanny Fang hurried to tell Madam Zeng that she was extremely angry.
"She even dared to accuse our Zeng family of being unmannered? This is outrageous!"
"Madam, why don't you invite them over?"
Mrs. Zeng gritted her teeth and said, "Call them!"
Nanny Fang spoke some nice words. In short, the lady had finally sent away the servant who came to report the matter and postponed many matters, which was especially gratifying to them.
Aunt Liang San didn't expose it either.
But this peace did not last long. When they met again, Mrs. Zeng saw Zeng Xiaoyan and thought of the humiliation and suffering her brother had suffered yesterday. She was furious and shouted at Zeng Xiaoyan to kneel down.
